How do I order pets to harvest materials?
I looked, I asked in game, I played around a bit, I cried tears of frustration!

Just set them to wander in the vicinity of something they can gather, ie, set a doedicurus on wander near rocks and it'll start smacking them into pieces until you tell it to stop or it runs out of rocks to hit.

set it to wander amd make sure its not on follow, only works with some dinos.

only 2 dinos can harvest materials on wander: doedicurus (stone) and gigantopithecus (fiber)

and the monkeys, they will autonomously collect berries :)

just make sure you put them in a fenced off area, don't want them wandering off into the jaws a rex or something.
being rediculus and not reading lel "i asked everywhere" well havent been playing with smart kids then lel let the fiber monkey wander ffs.. its so simple..

Actually you dont have to put them on wander you just have to place them next to harvestable resources and they will do that just not as much as with wander but you dont have to have a pen for them that way

Doed can gather stone without needing to be on wander.
Just put next to a rock spawn and will gather till it gets 50% its weight.

Stegos and trikes cannot gather things on their own.
Only way to have these two collect things (berries) is by mounting them and "attacking" a cluster of bushes.

Edit: same goes for all the other dinos (except the 5 specifically mentioned above)
