List of creatures that can produce resources? (Solved, link added)

[DiaborMagics]

Conclusion:
This list gives a nice overview and includes Kraken's Better Dinos and No Untameables (thanks 123!): https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mod:Dino_Storage/Soul_Terminal
------------------------------------------------
Hello hello,

I have Googled for it but I could not find some complete list of creatures that produce resources. Does one exist?

In case it doesn't, maybe someone can come up with a few that I can't think of off the top of my head:

- Phoenix poops pearls (I believe normal ones, but rarely also black ones)
- Achatina produces cementing paste and organic polymer (honestly not sure if they must be set to wonder and if they produce it passively with dino storage v2 if you use mods)
- Basilosaurus produces oil. I think the squids too but that oil can spoil. Can't think of the creature name right now...
- Tek Stryder poops element shards into dino storage v2 terminals (mod only afaik)
- Maewing drop all sizes of egg
- Gachas can produce all manner of resources (but I have never used a gacha yet so I would need to read up on how it works. I know they eat stone or owl pellets and I have pellets aplenty)
- Snow owls poop owl pallets which can be fed to gachas
- Ovis/sheep can be sheared with scissors to get wool
- Queen Bee can produce giant bee honey
- Dung Beetles can convert feces in their inventories into fertilizer
- Iguanodon I think can turn crops or berries back into seeds? I never use it, seeds just accumulate by playing
- Megachelon passively produce rare flowers & mushrooms (thanks DreadCthulhu!)

This list gives a nice overview and includes Kraken's Better Dinos and No Untameables (thanks 123!): https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mod:Dino_Storage/Soul_Terminal

It's either Pegos or monkeys that can harvest berries in large quantities, I think.

I think that they were asking for a list of creatures that produce resources or convert them, not just gatherers.

You might be right, but if the goal is to avoid as much work - gathering - as possible because that is contrary to a person's enjoyment, then it seems to me the more sensible approach is to focus on finding and adding mods that accomplish this in addition or instead of. The vanilla game really doesn't want to allow 100% static progression.

Indeed. I know about gatherers. Hence why I did not ask about those

I simply want a list of creatures that can passively produce stuff. It seems to me like that should be somewhere already but as I stated I did not find it. I know about gatherers (as for the berries example, plenty of creatures can do the trick but a Tek Stryder is king with as much as it can gather, if you use the SS mod).

I am collecting all creatures in the game. Currently have tamed over 80% of them, from all official maps (including Fjordur and such) including their variants, at max possible level.
You can call it curiosity or putting what I have to good use. The goal is not to skip the grind as I have already put over 700 hours into my current savegame. I was wondering if I owned all creatures that can produce something and if I do, if I'm actually making use of them all.

I just like to have information... and I was surprised that I did not find it with a quick google search.

For what exactly? A list like this would benefit more people than just me I'm sure. And many minds know more than 1. Are you saying I should read every single creature's details? Are you saying there is a list there? A link would be nice then. Are you saying you are too lazy to answer the question asked, so you just plop something lazy in there and call it a day? Can't blame you since there's more than 5 words to read, but no need to say anything if there's nothing helpful you can or want to say. Saves you time.

That is what I described, but it seems you don't have the same motive as most people who make that a goal and I was mistaken in assuming yours was the same.

Wow kid dont be a lazy drama queen,just read this

https://www.dododex.com/resources

A list of resources and a summary of which dinosaur is best to collect resources or if produce.
Your post gonna get buried with other posts about ASA,errors,bugs,the next servers saves.All ark players(except you,little noob drama queen)know about dododex,the page and the app.

yeah, but you've completely missed the OP's original point, as usual. They weren't asking about resource _collectors_, but resource _producers_.

Most of your responses are incredibly lazy yourself, and offer nothing to the conversation. Your most frequent response boils down to "git gud". You're like that kid in the simpsons who says "har har" from the crowd of onlookers when something bad happens.

farming is generally faster than vanilla passive generation. snails for example stop producing once a stack is full, which is nothing compared to them only eating veggy cakes. having all those dinos out needing maintenance is a drag. the space, the dino slot, render, food...

now, it's completely different when you have mods and can have them in a storage producing goods. OP mentioned dino storage mod, and that specifically, i'm familiar with and have probably a few hundred dinos working their magic right now. and yes, there's a comprehensive list on wiki.

hopefully ASA is more balanced in that sense. majority of dinos dont have a purpose. wouldn't mind WC turning some of them into farmers, boosters and passive guys.

one thing to add about the dung beetles. when they convert poop to fert they also produce oil it's a good way to keep an oil stock early game.
another interesting thing i've noticed about my basi is they produce oil even when cryo'd. whenever i pull them out to go into the ocean they already have a stack of 20 on them. you can keep a few basi cryo'd and toss them out to grab oil whenever you need.
sorry i couldn't add more to your list but i'm still newish to the game.

But if op use google,how cant find dododex?
Hahaha if only remember the git gud posts that mean you ignore the a lot of posts,maybe because are in other lenguage
(sorry op to derail the post)

[DreadCthulhu]

Megachelon (giant turtles orginally from Gen1) passively produce rare flowers & mushrooms.

You certainly missed the point- while calling others lazy you seem to be too lazy to properly read posts, so... your point is invalid, sorry.

True. I just thought I would try and clear things up. Idk, I always have the urge to explain myself xD

Oh thanks that is helpful. Will give it a read!
Indeed I use that same mod so space isn't an issue. Only been using it the past 100 hours or so so before I did have a maewing farm and raised and killed insects for polymer, that sort of thing but this mod is an absolute game changer. And true, some more TLC for creatures to give them more purpose would be cool.
