Albatron Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Hi all! After a long solo game, I have all tek engrams to build my dream house. I play ragnarok and have a small base on extinction. Please tell here what is your favorite way to farm metal, poly and crystals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMaas Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 In solo I have 1 game that just boost rates but no "cheating" to play the game without too much grind, in another game I allow myself creative mode to build the wildest things. I like to keep those separated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxkid Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Metal and obsidian kinda go hand in hand if you go near the volcano/wyvern trench (just don't let the wyverns see you is all and use lots of bug repellent). Polymer on the other hand? Well....we can always do with less mantis and penguins aren't endangered on the ARKs...not counting Scorched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin998 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 For farming metal, I'd suggest a sort of Tek parasaur setup like the one syntac has (two tiers of Tek parasaurs breeding, dropping eggs down into a hatching area with some creature below set to aggressive so once babies hatch, creature kills and harvests them) It's not perfect, but it works decently, especially if you have a bunch of parasaurs as well. As a nice bonus, it also gives you electronics, oil, and element dust, which is super cool. If you're at the point where you can get Tek rexes, that may be a cool alternative, but it'll have to be really huge. You could probably even do this as a bob, just taming a bunch of Tek raptors and having them all breeding, creating more raptors, and then continuing the circle. My suggestion is ~6 females surrounding one male in the center, so that all the females are laying eggs. Or, you could just hop over to Genesis and just kill a bunch of creatures in the lunar biome with a good rex or smt. If you have a boss army, you could just take one from there. Happy ARKing (I remember someone saying that, just not sure who)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin998 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Also, for poly, just do an easy OSD. All those corrupted creatures drop corrupted nodules, which can replace polymer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyranight Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 On Ragnarok just south west of the desert there is absolutely loads of rich metal and Obsidian, like it's actually ridiculous. Further north inside the desert canyon you'll find a cave with loads of crystal and they are medium sized. I suggest bringing 2 argy. I'd give exact cords but I don't live on Rag anymore. Poly you can farm alot from the Mantis in the desert. As for Extinction, I suggest just transfering mats from rag, the map is a bit scarce and a pain to gather. Pretty good for poly though cuz the corrupted dinos drop essentially org poly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin998 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'm not sure about that. Maybe? I mean, I suppose it should work unless friendly fire is turned off...even then, the babies wouldn't be claimed, so it should work. At least, in theory.

The Crystal cave on Rag I mentioned. I'm not sure if you can fit it in the ice caves but the canyon cave has 2 large entrances I know for a fact. Put a Tele near either entrance.

Griffin998 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 For Crystal, Extinction is pretty good. Just whack all those lampposts and benches and voila! Not sure about the stryders on those though. I have not tested it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
