Whats the point of the turtle?

[Viivrabe]

I like the turtle, I like its looks, I love the new saddle, I like the way it waddles as it walks. however I'm at the point where I have to ask "why should i train this?".

sharks are faster
dolphins are faster
sarcos are faster on land and sea
all have better attack
its hard to have it defend itself from other underwater creatures
takes longer to train (due to no prime meat for herbs)
the dolphin saddle can be made at an earlier level
it takes cement paste to make the carbonemys saddle (which is a pain)
almost all land herbivores can gather more berries
It moves Very slow (on land and water) making it less useful for hauling
Carries less weight than water creatures (and moves slower)
Carries less weight than most land herbivores (and moves slower)


are there some aspects of the turtle Im overlooking. its massive HP pool and inability to drownd are cool, but if it cant deal damage that HP means it just dies slowly to attackers.

if I'm wrong about any of this information, please inform me.
And tell me why I should continue to use my turtle when there does not appear to be a reason (slower swimmer means you cant go as deep in the same amount of time)

in the mean time im going to keep waddeling around on my hard shelled friend, but if this one also dies I cant think of a good reason to get another.

Super easy to tame and a great tank against wild dinos. Added bonus, they come in colors blue, purple, red, and orange. =P

One of the important things about Turtles is they can go in underwater caves with out dying like the meg. The sarco can as well but the turtle Saddle comes first.

thats a good point

your ps - its the creatures base speed + % =

would it not be multiplied by %

But i wish we had the specific numbers avalable to us in some form, iven if it is just in comparisone to a 100% human (for instance at what % is a dino (insert species name here) = to a human with 100% )

for instance (NOTE ALL GESTIMATIONS not good DATA)

Raptor @ 70% ms =human 100%
Dilo @ 360% ms= human at 100%

i guess that would depend on what the base movement is, lets assume that the human base is 100, that would mean for it to be a multiplier, the dilo's base would have to be 0.2777777777777778 and the raptors base would have to be 1.428571428571429

I assumed it was creatures base + % = run speed, either way would work. just depends really on the math they used for calculating it I suppose.

turtles have one job to tank bullets, anything else is just dumb

Turtles are very tanky, and a pretty good early-game bodyguard.
My first tame was a turtle, and I was amazed when it single-handedly took down an attacking Carno due to its sheer bulk.

[Brax]

literally the first post says it all

they are fast in water and carry a lot of weight

they are noob spinos

also your first armored tame in pvp (armor mitigates damage)

by the way the rex has armor on its head, i am so sick of watching youtube videos where a guy shoots in the face on a rex

it's like the same thing as shooting a turtle in the body

which new saddle ?

[Remle]

Just in case no one else said it, Turtles are great for bullet sponges. What you do is tame a few turtles and level up their health, pick them up with a quetz and drop them on enemy turrets to drain them of bullets. also you can strap c4 to them and blow stuff up, and they often survive the initial explosioan and continues to soak up bullets. End game raiding they are practicly essential for harder to raid bases.

The "check the date on OP's post saddle".

[IonoI]

who keeps bumping posts from a year ago? oh wait, i just bumped it too

but turtles make bronto kibbles

[Dukasho]

Turtles with a good saddle are first wave attackers to soak up enemy base defenses. There you go, that's how you use them :P

[ballpoint202]

Turtles are slow and therefore much easier to knock out than trikes or stegos. This makes turtles a likely tame for very early in the game.
