Overview
The Diplodocus is a massive herbivore with a long neck and tail. It provides significant weight reduction for inventory resources, making it ideal for hauling large quantities. It can be airlifted by Tusoteuthis for rapid transport across vast distances.
Players tame the Diplodocus primarily to carry heavy loads efficiently over land, especially during resource farming or base construction phases.

More about taming the Diplodocus
Tame the Diplodocus passively by feeding it directly. Regular Kibble is the best food. Base Veggie works as a fallback if kibble is unavailable. No immobilization is required.
It takes about 37 units of kibble and roughly 12 minutes to tame. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Drops & harvest resources
Compare recorded corpse resource yields by harvesting tool.
SettingsHarvest body HP 800 · Player melee % 100 · Weapon damage % 100 · Harvest rate × 1
| Resource |  Pick |  Hatchet |
|---|---|---|
 Hide | ~3340% · ~25 hits | ~4960% · ~20 hits |
 Raw Meat | ~3760% · ~25 hits | ~2540% · ~20 hits |
 Raw Prime Meat | ~24% · ~25 hits | ~24% · ~20 hits |
Each harvest event rolls resources independently. Actual yields vary.
Killing a Diplodocus yields Sauropod Vertebra, Hide, Raw Meat, and Raw Prime Meat. The Hatchet yields the most Hide, while the Pick and Dino (Prime) are optimal for Raw Meat and Raw Prime Meat respectively.

Combat notes
Diplodocus takes +400% more damage from spike walls, making them extremely effective in defense. It is highly resistant to fire, taking 60% less damage from flame-based attacks. It also suffers +55% damage from metal melee weapons and +50% from explosions. Focus on Health and Melee Damage for survivability.
The head has a 1.5x damage multiplier, making it the optimal target for faster knockouts. All other body zones use standard damage values.
Diplodocus can break Thatch and Wood structures. Build at least in Stone to resist its damage.
