Useful creatures and the other ones..

[Fera_spielt]

I played ARK over 2,5k hours and started to play pixARK... and I miss some gather dinos and dont know, why some creaturs are in the game...

perhaps some people can tell me or show me a guide of this

Phioma - poop

Firefly - light

Trike/Para - Gather berries

Doedicurus - Gather Dirt, Stone, Flint

what about Fiber, Thatch and Wood?

What other creatures should I tame or kill for what use?

and what dinos are totally unuseful like the rabbit?

[Kiseki]

Triceratops is the best for gathering wood that I've found. Thorny Boar should be the one to gather magic wood.

[Lightcherry]

dung beetles - fert

Slimes - free polymer

kill goblin kings for goblin trading station

kill gem spiders for gems

Oil slimes generate oil from meat.
Oil slimes can be placed in an incubator with charcoal to mass produce oil.
Slimes produce polymer from meat.
Dodo's mass produce eggs in a pen, dodo eggs are easily the best food in the game.
Ice Elemental stores and preserves perishables.
Fire Elemental cooks food. Suffers lack of craft all button.
Armadilo smelts. Suffers lack of craft all button.
Moles and mega rock dragon dig, though they're much too clunky unless you're flattening an outcrop.
Frogs cause massive torpor damage.
Stegosaur functions the same as a parasaur.
Gargoyle has an aoe heal over time buff.

[Incursus]

Hitlist:
Rabbits for fur.
Gem Spiders for magic gems.
Goblin kings for trader stations.
Pegasus for light magic.
Soul reapers for dark magic.

Raptor - Produces Energy for Meat (When added to the machine later on)
Treant - Rumors of Treant Turret (once it is actually implimented)
Giganpithicus - Drawbridge (broken currently)

Haven't tested it myself, but apparently rabbits give you a cold insulation boost when on your head.

The trick with megarock dragons is to work backwrads. They're still clunky, but much less so.

Armadillos should also be on the hit list, until you get enough shells for the lava armor. I don't even care so much about going swimming in lava, but it is by far the best for insulation from cold and heat.

Trike gathers berries, but it gathers fiber, thatch and wood too. :)

[walakangsidoy]

Treants can store magic berries same with baby treant
Golems drop gold when killed
Treants have higher drop of magic wood berries fiber and bark when killed by a higher rank creature like Gryphons I tried using Ptera but just few drops

[Pumpkin_Masher]

I saw that the description for rabbit says "stay warm" so I tamed one. My insulation doesn't change at all wearing one though. Broken maybe?

Ankylo also digs. Badly. Tamed a compy, need to test if it can damage enemies while being worn, as it can in Ark.

Where do u find the Goblin kings ? Are they hard to kill ?

They can be early level but the hardest thing about them for me is that they spawn in proximity to the megarock drake. I found a huge cavern under a starting biome that leads under a golden biome and it's filled with goblin kings.

[Fera_spielt]

ok, thanks :D what about some flying creatures? Are thesy all the same? (for flying and to make dmg)

and what about seamonsters and dinos?.. Did I need them? for what stuff I have to dive?

[Kalizaar]

For flying:

Gargoyle - Super fast sprinting speed with very little stamina use. Has decent weight carrying weight. Does ok damage, but anything it attacks runs away making it easier to kill things you shouldn't be able to.

Griffon - Kind of slow but does a lot of damage and a good amount of health. Can also pick up a number of creatures and attack them while taking little to no damage.

Pteranadon - Fast but easily killed. You can hit C to do a spin attack that does decent damage for early game. The C attack also makes you shoot forward making movement even faster with this flyer. Can pick up and carry players.

Argentavis - A faster, but less damage and health version of the Griffon. Can pick creatures up and damage them too.

Quetz. Low damage and a bit slow but high stamina and ability to hover. WIth a platform saddle you can build a small mobile base. Also great for a mobile taming platform. You can dismount and walk around while it hovers and shoot down at enemies you want to tame.

One thing I've noticed is that in Ark you can build directly on the saddle as if it were a floor but in PixArk it doesn't count as a floor and you have to place floor down first before you can place any crafting stations or beds. Also can't rotate steps.
