Boldar Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 After using the grinder to level a bit, i am left with about 500k Thatch. Is there anything i can do with that for xp without the need of many other materials? I googled a bit, but noone else seems to have that problem. I grinded wood because it was far easier to get for me. I just dont want to drop it, so i am open for creative ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is used for so many items ...but for the cheapest way to use it for the max amount of xp would be parachutes ... you will need fiber and hide.. however thatch is the #1 ingredient 40 thatch 20 fiber 10 hide 5.8xp per parachute 500k thatch will make 12,500 parachutes will gain you 72,500 xp but at 100% crafting speed 5 seconds per craft it would take you forever ... if you are lucky enough to have a parachute BP load everything up on a big tame and craft them on it while you do other stuff ..you still get the Xp the same You will still need to farm to get that fiber and hide... however if you have a large dinos not doing much like a Brontos or Paracers store all your thatch on them and use it as needed since it is used for so much it will get used over time (large crop plots and Behemoth gates come to mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 from the picture thatch looks like hay, which is what most of the non-meat eaters should be eating instead of berries. see if u can force feed it to ur tames, especially horses, would be healthier for them instead of berries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteer Moderator invincibleqc Posted December 1, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2017 You could decorate your bases with torches. They looks so much better than lights!

This is so beautiful, torches definitely do look better than lights. Just a pain to have to add another chore, in filling them with gel or thatch.

AngrySaltire Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Start up a massive Brewery. Make up masses of beer barrels, use the thatch for the beer and start making beer by the bucketload. Throw a massive server wide party to consume said beer or go on massive chalicotherium taming sprees ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yekrucifixion187 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We actually use thatch door frames as a breeding pen for our Rex's. 2 high. We can set them to wander and not even whistle stop all. Despite it being thatch they don't go anywhere. Thatch door frames are cheap so switching out Rex's as we get better breeders is no problem. If you are interested in a set up like that I'd just turn them all into door frames then you always have some on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split. Hole stack into singles and start dumping them in a small room one at a time...fill to desired level and now you have a ball pit to hide in and jump out at unsuspecting tribe mates!!!You can also use it as bait in pvp. Drop one to somebody, when they run uo to grab it. WHACK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet people that have thrown them on the ground have no clue what they have tossed ... any item that you craft on your person that has a BP can be crafted in any Tames inventory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critter Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Make like 50 compost bins. Disperse the thatch amongst them all. OH.. officials don't use mods so the compost bins don't automatically pick up poop lol. Ain't that a raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouSpowells Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 There's is nothing useful to do with half a million thatch. Keep 20k and throw the rest away. I start doing the same with cementing paste when I hit 200k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is the most commonly used material... throwing that amount on the ground when it is used for all stone/wood sturctures Stone behemoth gates, crop plots, stone arrows, parachutes and sleeping bags just to name a few very common items. dropping a few hundred here and there is no issue but he has 500k that is so much dropping that much would be silly as you would never have to go and gather any on its own for a long time... Hence my advise to store it on tames not being used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0mbie Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Use it to completely fill up the inventories of all your tribemates while they are logged off. That way when they log back on they can't move and you can laugh at them while they try to figure out why. It's even funnier if you drag them to a different place than where they logged off first. Maybe near a wild Giga but just out of it's reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
