TheLastNerb Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Cant Harvest Tamed Animals In PvE? Hello I recently joined a PvE server, having no experience with PvE. Built a base and eventually tamed 2 opposite gender sheep and bred a little baby, with plans to slaughter him when he was grown. Well I couldnt damage him with a sword or gun, so I jumped off a cliff riding him...over and over. When he was dead and I tried to harvest his body it wasnt possible. I hit but I got no resources. After asking why not, people told me harvesting tamed animals in PvE wasnt possible. So what, am I supposed to find a sheep every time I want to tame a carnivore? What do you guys think? Should this be changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perk8504 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I know that I've killed my tames using a pike...so I don't know what you were doing and I swear I harvested them when they were dead but assuming I'm way off on remembering, you could unclaim it when it's time for slaughter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can harvest your own tamed dinos. Not sure why OP couldn't, but I've never had a problem. Same thing with killing them, though I usually use my lightning wyvern for the task.

powerstuck Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This sounds like a private server setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pachycephalosaurus Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Put your tame on passive then un claim it. It wont attack and you can harvest it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pachycephalosaurus Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 They instantly become wild when you un claim them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't become wild ever. Though if they go unclaimed long enough they will starve to death. Basically, when unclaimed, they count as a tamed creature that doesn't belong to you. Meaning that you can't damage them any more than you could damage a neighboring tribe's dinos. Babies are a little different. When born, they count as wild creatures in the sense that you can kill them, your dinos can kill them, and your turrets can kill them (as far as I know, this has not changed at all on pve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteer Moderator GP Posted February 21, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2017 Is this a private server? If it is then you need to check whether the server has "friendly fire" disabled. If it has, then you can't harvest your dinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingedWolfPsion Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 This is a problem with an update. You could harvest your own tames when friendly fire was disabled prior to an update sometime in the past month. Now you can't, and it's a big annoyance. Do I have to risk hitting my own tames in a fight in order to harvest from them when they die? I have no idea whether they did this on purpose, but it's aggravating.
