Carry Weight?

[Proxie]

Thanks earlier to those who replied and told me to play single player the island first because im new. I have done that and getting on much better however i have finally tamed a pterandon and it can hardly carry me i need to drop basically all my inv same with my raptor? how can i fix this? is there a mod?

You can adjust dino (all dinos) weight in the settings UI.

But i wouldn't start change a bunch of stuff like this or the game will be too easy.

Ptera isn't mean to carry a lot.

An alternative would be a stack mod with weight reduction. Like Stackmemore

put level points into weight or find an argentavis. in some cases an argent is better than a quetz. It's easier to tame and it will half the weight of things like metal, obsidian. crystal etc. it also moves faster than a quetz so you can make one long trip with a quetz or you can make two faster trips with an argent i prefer the latter some times i bring two or three argents and load them up and do one trip.

If you don't want to resort to settings changes or mods that effectively make the game easier, you may just want to try to tame more pteranodons; there is variance between members of a species and you could have just gotten unlucky, Granted, with the kibble revamp, mass taming pteras isn't trivial anymore; so that might involve mass taming low level turtles just for their eggs.

That said, and has already been said, it's best to look a pteras as scouting mounts. Even a good ptera with leveling focused on weight capacity barely reaches what a good argetavis has to start with (before factoring in their carry bonuses). When I use pteras as early/fast air transport, it is usually with a flock of them on follow and the one I am riding carrying very little.

Ptera's are simple lightweight highspeed scouts. They can't carry much. They are scouts, not transports.

For tranporting things with a flyer you want an Argy or Quetzal.

Different animals do different jobs. Raptors aren't meant for heavy hauling either.

This too. Raptors are your guards, parasaurs are your starting "pack mules" (I'll even take four parasaurs over a bronto unless the extra hp of one is really needed).

What's your max level wild dinos?

Vanilla is 5 (max 150). You could boost this a bit (6-10) would get you higher stats, but KO and taming will take longer.

Higher dinos have better stats. Plus RNG.

Imo Highspeed and pter are bit a mismatch.
Sure they are quicker than argents, tapes or quetz but they aren't really quick.

So you invest alot of time learning the game on single player, you even add mods to make the quality of life better and over all game play.

You begin to build large bases and tame many dinos.

Then its very lonely and you have a choice to leave it all and start over or keep playing single player.

But in answer to your question, there are many mods available on steam workshop you could add to your single player exp. some good, some not so good.

unless you have a level 250+ ptera there weight carry is terrible

an argentavis even at low levels can carry much more items and weight vs a ptera

quetz are too big and slow , they are also a pain to shoot down and tame by yourself.

if you want really high stat dino's you have to breed them, which is just another headache on its own.

major note for newbies, dont play vanilla unless you wanna spend all day taming a dino or a week+ raising a good lvl one from a egg

Petra and raptor are scouts so weight is low though high level Petra will be able to easily carry yourself and some extra weight but not much.

Once you have a Petra though an Argy tame becomes very simple and they will be your go to flyer for everything.

Consider the classic flyers mod to be able to level speed which was nerfed due to PvP explotting.

I use 3 argies, specialising in weight, speed and damage. Between them they take care of everything I need in a flyer.

I like Speedy flyers mod better than Classic flyers mod. It's more balanced.

I consider speed saddles over CF flyers... just my opinion.

AntiNODE (by Zen Rowe) speed node is also an option. Get an ascendant one of those and a quetz can cross the entire Ragnarok map in minutes.
