HARVESTING TOOLS
Tools fit one of four field slots — pick, hatchet, sickle, fishing rod — except the Hide Bucket, which is carried on hand. The harvest multiplier is the core of the yield maths.

 Metal Sickle | Sickle | 3.0 | 15 | fiber, thatch, berries, herbs | uncommon |
 Reinforced Sickle | Sickle | 3.5 | 20 | fiber, thatch, berries, herbs | uncommon |

WHICH DINOSAURS GATHER
A dinosaur gathers only the resources? its species? is configured for, using one specific move it must have unlocked. The species bonus B is fixed; the rest comes from its attack power, so a dinosaur keeps scaling as you invest in it.
| Species | Gathers | Move | B bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quetzalcoatlus | fish | Heavy Peck | 2.55 |
| Brachiosaurus | wood | Stomp | 2.5 |
| Therizinosaurus | fiber, herbs, crystal, wood | Precise Slash | 2.5 |
| Tropeognathus | fish | Aimed Dive | 2.3 |
| Dunkleosteus | crystal, flint | Crush Bite | 2 |
| Ankylosaurus | stone, flint, iron_ore | Tail Hammer | 2 |
| Deinocheirus | wood, fiber, thatch, berries | Long Reach | 1.9 |
| Stegosaurus | wood | Tail Sweep | 1.45 |
| Allosaurus | meat, hide | Savage Bite | 1.45 |
| Thalassodromeus | fish | Dive Attack | 1 |
| Tapejara | fish | Crest Strike | 0.95 |
| Carnotaurus | meat, hide | Charge Bite | 0.5 |
| Euoplocephalus | stone, flint, iron_ore | Club Bash | 0.5 |
| Psittacosaurus | fiber | Beak | 0.49 |
| Pteranodon | fish | Dive Strike | 0.48 |
| Dimorphodon | fish | Quick Bite | 0.45 |
| Parasaurolophus | wood, thatch | Tail Swipe | 0.45 |
| Iguanodon | herbs | Thumb Strike | 0.45 |
| Gallimimus | berries | Quick Strike | 0.44 |
| Rhamphorhynchus | fish | Peck | 0.42 |
Meat and Hide are listed for Carnotaurus and Allosaurus but no meat/hide nodes? exist yet — those gather configs are dormant. Hide can still be gathered from normal nodes with a hatchet.
GATHERING PASSIVES
Some species carry additive gathering passives that boost the final haul for matching resources once unlocked (usually at level 90):
| Passive | Species | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral Expert | Euoplocephalus | stone +15%, flint +20%, iron ore +15% |
| Perfect Extraction | Ankylosaurus | stone +25%, flint +25%, iron ore +25% |
| Perfect Gatherer | Therizinosaurus | fiber +25%, herbs +25%, crystal +20% |
| Deep Crusher | Dunkleosteus | crystal +20%, flint +15% |
| Versatile | Deinocheirus | wood +10%, fiber +10%, thatch +10%, berries +10% |
