Why Bronto's Buildable Saddle is related to his Weight ?
If i want to carry things, inventory is more then enough. Is this just for pvp purposes? Put 50 turrets and thats it ?

If you put 1 Large Storge Box and fill it with Stone = Bronto cant move. If you put the same ammount on inventory...cant move.

What i am missing? Whats the main purpose of the saddle?

A mobile respawn platform and just plain epicness.

Mobile housing and spawn points?

Dudes, if you are building a saddle which is a high lvl item...you are more then capable of not dieing in the game anymore.

Again, what is the MAIN purpose of the saddle

Dont give me that respawn saddle thingie ?. No more sleeping bag?

Well I mean how much weight are we talking about here? My average Bronto weight is like 1-1.5k..what do you want to carry on the thing besides a basic structure and some basic stuff?

Use your head abit more, It's a mini Mobile base platform, to respawn on, use with turrets and can even use for mobile forge base or harvesting if you keep it within weight limit... get a 120 full kibble Bronto with hp and weight simple.

Mobile forge / Mobile taming.

Can go mine and forge metal right there, that seems nice to me =P

Can use it as a taming base, with supplies and turrets to defend your tame
Well it makes sens
Wonder can I build 2 floors ? with windows for snipers and 10 turrets ? xD 1 flour for res. beds xD one for sniping

I am not sure if you guys are aware...but there is pvp on the game and that saddle was not needed for pvp purposes.

So you are telling me...that now...people will start attacking with turrets? So, the more turrets you have the more chance you get?

What will do you? Micro management with dinos around bronto? Super FUrious Kite ?

realllyyyyyyy?

That saddle has no purpose for PvE/Farming strategy.

And yes there is a fix on how to farm with it tons of mats...but its odd...

50 items max on saddle / no bigger then 6 walls.

@Elite

Why would one think 5k stone would be less of a burden when on a bronto sadle vs in it's inventory? I do not understand why this thread would be needed.

To answer your question, a bronto, especially a high level bronto, can easily hold a decent ammount of turrets and such. It is designed to be a mobile based of the players creatvity and as much of the game, has a limit to prevent absurd creations.

Can we put the Safe on a Bronto Saddle? Then I want to put the Bronto/Safe on a Raft and leave it floating on the open ocean.

I'm disappointed with it too, bronto is claimed to be capable to be able to transport epic amounts of stuff yet is outclassed by birds at transporting stuff. Really hope they will either buff weight gain per level up or make containers transport only 50% of weight just like monkey.

Once they release ballistas, you can use it on primitive servers to raid. Also instead of using storage boxes, maybe try taming some phiomias and having them stand on it, their weight should not add.

So. Let's see, you want to put weight onto the Bronto without it affecting the Bronto?
Seems like a dumb mechanic. That's not how it should work, why SHOULDN'T it affect the weight of the Bronto?
