Tamed dino ride stamina vs unridden stamina.

[Ploppy]

I tamed my first trike and was looking forward to grinding wood, I noticed two things:

1 - They run out of stamina real fast and can hardly run anywhere.

2 - Their attack harvests a lot more thatch than wood.

I'd like to gather more wood is it that the trike isn't good for this?

Stamina - is it because I have a heavy load and the combined weight slows down a dino?

I have a raptor too and his stamina is fine even with my extra weight, so maybe the riding stamina is still W.I.P.

This isn't a major issue as I can dismount and run to the trees while my trike chases after me - for some reason he now has the stamina of a 1500m athlete :D

Mammoth for wood

Unmounted dinos have unlimited stamina.

The only dinos that gather mostly wood currently are mammoths.

Tamed dinos appear to have infinite stamina when not being ridden. For example, if you have two raptor mounts, have one follow you and switch to the other when you run out of stamina on the first. You can basically sprint forever minus some brief downtime when switching mounts.

Trikes naturally have low stamina sadly. Seems to be their steriotype. When un-ridden, they have nearly unlimitted stamina (but can still drown if swimming), so i usually just have them follow me, and ride a parasaur.

When riding them, they go nowhere fast... but they're quite safe. They can solo carno's and spino's with ease. It's why I keep mine around.

That being said: Another friend of mine trained up the stamina on his trike a ton, and he loves riding his around... so... if you're into that, go for it.

As far as wood goes: Mammoth seems to do best. Not even the bronto seems to do wood well.

Thanks all for the Mammoth info ;)

Also, thanks to Paladin for info and what a trike can fight :)
