Any mods to auto harvest on carried doed/anky?
So as title says i'm looking for a mod that can have a carried dino auto harvest resource nodes while carried/picked up even when overcumbered, does any exist? i'm a solo player and it's really annoying having to switch dino's every 2 seconds when you're just trying to farm some wood or metal.

Kraken's better dinos has an auto harvest anky.

Doed auto harvests until it is half full o weight.

Use a whip, it makes life easy solo farming, whip the Anky to the next node, same with Doed. You can also dump an entire inventory full of metal next to the forge, whip it up, then transfer all into the forge.

Bad thing about mods for dinos, when you get rid of mod, dino usually disappears.

Yeah i have been doing the whipping but it just feels too slow, back when i was still playing on ps4 i would just load up a second controller and that made the process much quicker, but because an anky/doed won't harvest when their weight is maxed out i have to do it manually here for every node after whipping which can be time consuming.

While I don't think there is a mod for having them to keep wacking. A mod I use called Dino Patrol allows you to set a path for them to harvest anything along the way & they'll place it in a set location (flag in this case) for you to collect later on. I've only tried it for guarding at the moment but the mod itself is really handy.

I dont mind the weight limit, makes weight stat relevant, but I really need that Anky tail swing function. If you're using a whip may as well just mount and unmount like now. Is that Karen mod super heavy? Really prefer super lite mods that dont need constant updating.

This one works well for the anky...I'm not sure of a mod for the doed though.

You can always use this mod:

The current Creatures/Structures in-game are designed for this purpose exactly!

The Parasaur Mech is, well a Parasaur that can harvest Metal just like the Ankylo can and reduces the weight in it's inventory. It also has an Auto-Smelt function that you can switch to ON and smelt your Metal as you go. As well as a flamethrower secondary attack. :steammocking:
The Quetzal Mech is like the Parasaur in that it also harvests Metal just like the Ankylo and reduces the weight as well. It also has the Auto-Smelt feature too!
The Stego Mech is a mobile Cargo-Hauler, auto-pulls all resources from it's follow target and greatly reduces the weight of the Resources it's pulls. It's also designed to provide a Health, Weight and Speed boost to nearby allies.

If you pair the Parasaur with the Stego you can set them up in a "Follow Train" to farm nearby resources without weighing down your Parasaur too quickly.
If you set the Stego to follow your Quetzal and carry it with you while you farm it can help extend the carry weight of your Quetzal too by reducing your load even more!

Doedi will already auto-swing if you set it to Wander before picking it up. No mod needed to make it swing automatically while carried. It will take a swing at anything you take it close to, I use this with an Argent quite often myself.

Yea but the doed stops swinging when it's weight is half full, from what I remember. I assumed that is why the OP asked about the doed. That's why I mentioned it anyway.

I dont even think it has to be on wander anymore, I just pick mine right up from storage and go.
