ARK Survival Ascended taming pen and metal tribe base

ARK: Survival Ascended

ARK: Survival Ascended resources

Taming speed and metal walls decide most tribe wars. Use these notes before you drop on The Island.

Creatures and taming

Knock-out tames fail when narcotics run out mid-channel. Keep kibble for high-value species and meat for junk tames.

Quiet timers and food checks sit in this resource if you breed for mutations.

Stone to metal bases

Thatch dies to a single dino. Stone holds wild creatures. Metal holds players with C4.

Place turrets on roofs, not only gates. Spike walls buy seconds while you mount a flyer.

Tribe war timing

Night raids hit when cryopods are on cooldown. Additional game information covers ally pings and offline defense.

Do not soak turrets without a tank dino and a backup bed far from the fight.
