skaphaazar Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I’ve been playing aberration recently and I can’t figure out a good dino for getting wood, I heard roll rats are good but they require honey to tame if I remember, and there saddle is annoying to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graf1cs Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Moschops has a 3.2 gathering efficiency on dododex for wood, i use the roll rat myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaphaazar Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Does the roll rat compare to the mammoth or beaver tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graf1cs Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 i'd say so, its by far the best on abberation, a little squishy tho, bring some ravs on follow to defend and load them up as you go and you'll be back in business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaphaazar Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ok thanks, where can I find the honey to tame one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graf1cs Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 get a full guillie suit, dont need anything better than primitive, a few bug repellent, find a bee hive close to the ground, use a mount on passive, chomp a few times on the nest, it will break and you can tame the queen bee with wild flowers. will also drop a bag with honey in it. Also i believe you can just harvest the honey from the hive by walking up to it, and the dire bear has a buff for the bees and they wont kick you off, ive not tried this way yet, just hevent needed to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaphaazar Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ok, I’ll find myself a dire bear and a bee hive, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novawiz00 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Bee hives should be all around fertile lake. I would recommend taming a bear and harvest honey that way. Much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaculity Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Also, a fair warning: Make sure that spot you placed the bee hive is where you want to put it permanently. Due to WC's stupidity of setting Foreign Dino, destroying Bee Hive through any means in Aberration means you won't ever get the Bee Queen back, regardless of how its destroyed unlike other ARK maps.

Frogspoison Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 In terms of capabilities, here is a list of pros/cons, comparing the Roll Rat to Mammoth. Pro - Roll Rats gather wood faster due to having a higher wood efficiency (About 9 wood to 1 thatch per 10 resources, compared to the Mammoths roughly 7 wood to 3 thatch per 10) Roll Rats can carry more wood due to having 80% reduction on wood weight - roughly 7% more wood if the mammoths/rats levels are equal. Roll Rats take VERY little fall damage, even with Aberrations natural fall damage reduction. Roll Rats can have 3 riders. Roll Rats can consume durability on their saddle to go fast. VERY fast. Roll Rats have much better stamina regen then the Mammoth. Roll Rats poop like phiomias. Cons - Roll Rats have HORRIBLE turning capabilities. If anything attacks you from behind, you have to gtfo or dismount entirely to fight it off. Mammoths can attack all around them, and can turn nearly on the spot. Roll Rats have a VERY small bite radius. Mammoths can gather wood in a wide area around them. Roll Rats are terrible swimmers. Mammoths swim decently. Roll Rats have an extremely expensive saddle, that has to be repaired on a regular basis. IMO, this is the worst part of Roll Rats. But yea, Roll Rats are the ONLY wood dino on Aberration. Tame some Achatinas for a steady cementing paste supply, and a dire bear to get the honey for roll rats (Use right-click to get 15 honey per hive. As the hives in Ab like to stack on each other, AND there are hundreds of them, you can get hundreds of honey very quickly, like 5 minutes. Just alternate between right and left click on a stack of hives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
