Revan25 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I have looked around for a metal spawn so I can try to set up a base nearby, but unable to find any. Anyone know the location of a metal spawn? Side question: The map seems pretty small to me, I know you can go to the surface but there's not much there. Yet, I'm inclined to think that we can go much further down, does anyone know how far we can go down from the spawn zones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal seems to be pretty rare... but i still got no real overview of the map. Deepest Point I got down to was Rock Drake Trench... but it seems, that there are still layers deeper down.

Moonie1 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You made it down to the Rock Drake Trench and think metal is rare? Try picking at all of the blue veined rocks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTrickshot Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Metal is also on the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLADONOS Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 There is tons of metal in the giant blue glowing biome. Trouble is, it is dangerous as hell there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flakz Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 largest amount of metal i've ever seen on any map was in the overlook. all the rocks have a different look tho. there they are all blue and glowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcreif Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I've been playing for the past couple of days, and I have to say it's a great map and very challenging. I decided to spawn at edge 4 because I like a good challenge, and found a good spot to at least setup shop for a bit. My only issue is finding metal. I've been doing it the slow way just hitting every rock in sight in order to make basic tools but of course this isn't great and is very slow. Where are the best places to find metal spawns? In other maps you just fly around until you see some but of course no flying in Aberration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many regular old looking metal spawns all over the map as well. I've been farming plenty in the green starter zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a resource map, but the metal I found in the game isn't on the resource map. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Resource_Map_(Aberration) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregoPeck Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I found a single node and it looks to be at about 30 Long. 60 Lat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowletAlex Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I found a few medium to large nodes right outside the portal on a small island, at 46 lat and 27 long. There is also a Plant Z there, and I saw a trilobite, so it may be a potential oil source. Be warned, the metal is surrounded by red mushrooms.

Saupe Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 There are rich metal nodes dotted around the lake. If you have a good lantern pet, and a decent mount, literally every other rock in the blue area is metal. Paracer mining is back on the agenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoPeck Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I found that the round brown rocks along the lake and river give at least one metal with a stone pick. Once you upgrade to a metal pick, you get more metal from them. I found another vein at the end of a river, which leads to above a large waterfall. There are trilobites near this river, too.
