How best to destoy a wood wall ( w/o Explosives )
Hello I was wondering what is the best Dino or Item to use, to destroy ...

2 - dino gates (Wood)
30 - sections of wall (Wood)
3 - wood spikes (Wood)

tryed....
metal axe
Rex
Trike
Ancleo (murdered that word)
mammoth
Saber
even my Pike ( worked but not effective )

Trying to destroy a remnet base of a allie who was nearby that got raided and quit the server and I want to build on his area and extend our base but no matter what I do it seems like ill be taken down those 35 pcs of wood... in about 10 real life hours... it seems like.

Please anyone have a Idea what I should use to destroy them?
without taking 6 forevers and half of a eternity.

Please No explosives,besides that...

The wood spikes you're gonna have no choice but to use explosives. They'll do damage to dinos that attack them.

A guy with a stego destroyed my wood walls in a matter of seconds. I'm sure larger dinos (carno, rex, saber, spino) do it just as fast.

Rex with a decentt melee multiplier should do everything but the spikes within 5 minutes. Unless all the walls aren't connected to each other. Dmg is often spread over multiple segments so it will feel slow at first but then you will suddenly take out large chunks all at once.

ah ok
yeah these wall segments is a bigger base that got raided and I was tearng down what was left to rebuild. not part of thier tribe they went to a diff part of the map still alliance with us though but they said they are gonna move somewhere a lil safter till they are more ready.

Wooden dino gates aren't actually wooden, they're stone, which means most/all? of the dinos won't even damage them. You can pike them down and you seem to get 1 point of damage per 100% of melee damage with a pike, lol.

As far as wooden walls go I find a melee-spec Ankylo absolutely shreds structures. I took out a 6x6 building in a few minutes with one last night. The nice thing about the ankylo is its massive AoE with that tail. I hit stuff in front, beside, and even above! the ankylo, lol.

For spikes i think the best is a t-rex. I've used carnos to chew through them too but if it is just one carno you have to take a break now and then to let its health regen.

For wooden spikes, an equus destroys them in 1 kick. If you kick in the right spot you can even tame out 2 at a time. It can kick them from far enough away it doesn't even get hurt. I do this all the time to clear out random spikes thrown up by beach bobs and temporary residents.
