Best berry farmers/wood farmers

[Glueberry]

Can anyone post a list of the best berry farmers and the best wood farmers?

Thanks <3

Thanks, you just convinced me to tame a Brontosaurus afterall. Yesterday I kept reading some over-exaggerated posts how the Bronto was nerfed so hard, that it's not even worth the time anymore. Well maybe later today when I get home.

Well worth it my friend, just bring plenty of tranq arrows and narcotics/narcoberries, as well as a few 100 stacks of Amarberries. :)

The bronto still collects quite a few more berries than the stego and WAY more than the trike. We'll be checking out the ankylo later today or tomorrow, it would be neat to have one little dino for collecting so many different things (thatch, berries, metal, flint, stone).

Ank isnt really stone though get more flint, But it is a metal monster.

Confirmed last night that mammoth is more efficient for wood, he gets more wood from a given swing at a tree than a stego or bronto does, however the bronto does hit a bigger area so there is an argument for the bronto as well. Also, the mammoth's swings also get any berries around as well. Basically if I need a bunch of wood fast, I use the mammoth. If I need berries and wood, I use the bronto.

Thanks :) Good thing my place is most often surrounded by brontos, just need to find enough low level one to tame, have so limited time in my hands for this game...

A bronto is good to farm berries if you have a large, tree free area. With one swing it will collect about ~1500 berries overall (mind you, before the nerf it was 500-1500 of every berry type). So just counting the area, and not the time, every other berry collector will get more berries than the bronto. A bronto moves and turns very slow, you have to consider this, and it keeps hanging in trees, if they are too close he does not destroy or trample them.

A stego will gather more berries on a large, free area, and a mammoth will gather more berries (and also wood) in a tree growing area. I would not recommend taming a bronto for berry farming right now, rather a mammoth which almost takes as long to tame as a bronto and is significantly faster.

Mammoth is the best for berries for me, it has a high area of collect because of giga tusks, it has decent speed and neat stamina also it can farm wood. Bronto used to be my fav but its way much more nerfed, you have to keep spamming tail swipe and bumpy areas dont let you to collect berries since its tail flies over the bushes, so you have to move and locate its butt to swing its tail.

I tamed a Bronto last night I put all berries in she ate Mejo before all other berries. Just FYI

For the mammoth people in reddit have been saying that putting points into melee damage appears to cause the mammoth to get more wood per swing on any given tree.

Some have also said that increased melee damage on a saber will get you more chitin more frequently.

Idk for sure on either of these but I'd love to see some testing or some such :D

Yes the current theory craft on the server I am on is the more melee damg = more resources per swing.

So say a tree spawns and it would give 10 wood with stone hatchet, 15 wood with metal hatchet, and like 20 wood with a mamoth that has pumped up melee damg. Clearly these numbers are just thrown out there as the hard part about testing this theory is that since trees give random amounts its hard to know if tree X gave me more wood cause it just RNG more wood or if it was the melee damg.

after having just made a saddle for my ankylo, i would say he is 20-30 times better at getting berries than my trike is. he has a huge aoe range and gets 100-150 berries each attack.
he is awesome at gathering flint from rocks and metal from iron rocks.
and he dos a decent job at gathering thatch from trees.
much better than stego and trike at gathering resources and his stamina last for days! he is about as slow at a trik, but the stamina last 30 times longer.

Thanks this was really helpful

Keep in mind the data/information is 6+ years old now and since that time, there have been other creatures introduced that you may consider more effective along with the fact that stats for dinos were dramatically changed months after this thread existed too. Also trikes different dinos like the trike and more from that time have had changes in their utility etc.

This is why in general its better to use the wiki for such information or asking in your own more current thread for current responses as opposed to necro-ing.
