Doedicurus Harvesting.
Doesn't it seem like they should harvest berries like the ankys do? I have my mammoth for berries atm but just thought it was weird since the doeds are basically ankys but get stone instead of flint.

They are coded not to pick up berries or flint it seems. I'm frankly thankful. One of the most annoying things about farming is having to manually drop thousands of berries while trying to gather wood on a mammoth.

Yeah I wish there was some sort of filter that would only pick up what you wanted to like. only get the amount of narco berries that you would've picked up and just ignore getting the other berries.

They don't have enough base weight nor do they get enough per level to have the carry capacity for more than stone. I'm cool with the way they are except for one thing. I wish they could harvest underwater like the Ank.

Yeah it would be nice with that swim speed of theirs.

That would be the best case scenario. An auto-sort button on inventory screens would also be helpfully, one click automatically puts everything in order.

I made a suggestion thread awhile ago about mammoths getting an Alt Attack that gathered berries with it's trunk while primary tusk attack gathered wood and thatch only.

That would be nice. I'm sure the pick up filter would be somewhat difficult but I am not a programer so I have no clue.

Not really. They've demonstrated they already have such a filter on the doed. All they'd have to do is create a GUI for it. It'd function exactly like the doeds do, excluding anything filtered.



Relatedly: I really rather wish each berry had its own distinct looking plant instead of all berries being randomly generated by the same generic one.

Yeah they said that they were gonna add in region specific plants in one of the digest I believe. Just hope I love by those regions.

You quickly reach a point were you can't pull anymore into your own inventory. My wood harvesting mammoth pulls 2,500ish wood a run along with a bunch of thatch and it hasn't finished leveling and was not a perfect tame.
