I have got to say, this video is absolutely incredible. This format is so easy to follow, and I love that it covers several maps in one go. The guide graphics/slides you used are thorough but straightforward, and the recap at the end nails it all down. Not to mention the visuals are all high quality and pleasing to view, easy to follow. Very VERY well done on this one, this is so much easier to follow and replicate than just listening to someone talk about what they're doing while they do it in real time. But it still covers so much detail in such a short amount of time. Best ark guide format I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few.
Hey I appreciate the very kind words! This was I believe the second video I’ve ever done so I’m glad it was a good video for you! I’ve always enjoyed visual explanations rather than seeing it real time like you said! Much easier to follow! Part 2 will be coming shortly, just a TON of IRL shit going on now, so I’ll be back to steady uploads soon! Again, thanks for such great feedback!
What a wonderful guide! The info is very easy to follow and thoroughly explained (not to mention, WAY more helpful than some of the guides I've seen), and the general quality is amazing as well. I'm surprised you haven't hit 1k subs yet, so I'll help you out! Seriously, your attention to detail is incredible
Fantastic to hear! It’s amazing how much stuff I’ve learned after years of playing the game too, where I just scratch my head and be like, “How TF did I not know that.” Lol. Glad the video helped you out!
Thanks my guy! I’ll release another video for the rest of the resources shortly, I’m working on like 5 videos at once lol. Lost island messed me up, getting a video out on that first, then gen 2, then resources. Appreciate the feedback!
There is a WAYYY better way to get electronics. You know how he went to the lunar biome and killed tek Dino’s? Well, what you should do it go to the mission “don’t fear the reaper king” it will give you WAAAAAAYYYYY more
Hey! For demonstration purposes I am using the Solo Farm Mod. This makes farming Dino’s like the Doed/Anky auto harvest regardless of weight restrictions and is a helpful mod if you are solo. This is a popular mod for some unofficial servers. For official servers, you are restricted to the Doed auto harvesting until it reaches about .5-.75 of its weight capacity, then it will stop.
If you are not solo and have a friend and a skiff and are wanting to get some quick dust. Skiff picks up the doedic which your friend should be on and who ever is better at controlling the skiff lower and move the doedic. If done properly it's even faster than the argy and works on official 👍
Oh for sure, skiff definitely the best! With part 2 stopping soon I’ll update most of these with the stryder lol. But yeah skiff best option hah. Good stuff!
It absolutely could be, those two were pretty much down to preference. Since the Stryder was added, Ab could be better because you can do that run in like 2 minutes. Appreciate the comment =]
It depends on whatever hexagon rates they set on their server. Most of the time it stays official settings. But I believe code red? Maybe? Boosts hexagon earnings by a % as one of the word buffs

Hey so just a few tips for you to remember: - if you don’t have enough achatina’s so like 1-2, it won’t produce enough paste to keep the gacha’s busy and they will produce crystals faster than they’ll pick up the paste. - if you aren’t in render of the gacha’s they will not pick up the paste nor will the achatina’s produce paste. - Obviously make sure the gacha isn’t slot capped or too far from the achatina’s, or has any blocking structures between the achatina’s and gacha. Hope that helps!
polymer: moschop all levels on poly, and set to aggresive to farm mantis, 300 to 600 poly per mantis (any map with mantis) silica: angler fish eating conchs. (any map with ocean)
I appreciate the comment! While I agree the best possible method of farming Poly is with a Moschop only if you are using cloner Karki’s. That’s my opinion. I think it’s kind of a nuisance to either carry around a pocket Moschop or carry it with a flyer. I’d rather fly around with a maewing, shotgun mantis’s and chainsaw them. Or use a weight Mana/chainsaw. Much more efficient and you get roughly the same poly. For pearls, yes you can use angler on any map, however CI at this location has the most consolidated pearls. Making it more efficient, means less time farming. This obviously gets upgraded using a Stryder But as I said before, I appreciate the comment and the info! All feedback is good!
@@FatCatArk is faster on mantis, they die in 1 wyvern fire breath, then just unpod moschop set on agressive and will not only gather automatically, but will add bonus poly if points were added on poly, and if a 2nd mantis corpse is around, will double, you get above 1k poly at 1x with 3 mantis corpses, and they spawm in groups of 3, my favourite area is SE on desert. also for some random glitch, if the 2nd corpse is a thorny dragon, even if is not in the list, will collect 500 plus poly from it.
So I just did some quick testing, Moschop had 300% melee, and 350% bonus Poly harvesting. On 1X, 3 Mantis’s gave around 650 total Poly. (Also for some reason did a Moschop with double the melee, 650% and didn’t provide more Poly) Chainsaw, 3 Mantis’s gave around 250 Poly Now don’t get me wrong, I agree, moschops harvests the most Poly, however, you have to go through taming one, leveling it, cryo’ing tossing it, picking it up, carrying it from Mantis spawn to Mantis spawn. Whereas the chainsaw requires the engram and some gasoline lol. It is absolutely 100% preference. However the goal of the video is where to get the most consolidated/efficient way to get Poly. I could have substituted out the mana/Karki method for the Moschop/mantis. But I skip these methods all together and just run Ab for Poly and it takes less than 5 minutes to slot cap. But in part 2 of this video I will put in Karki cloners with Moschops. Which is 100% number 1 method of Poly. But again, I love the conversation, always like getting new information, didn’t know a thorny dragon was a glitch that gave Poly hahah🤣
@@FatCatArkwith moschop, poly goes from 200 to 680 random per mantis, and moschop has a timimg buff shown as a food icom, it has to eat the 2nd mantis/thorny witing that time frame to increase your chances of higher poly and unrided, for thorny u can ride it, but has to have the buff active. Mantis is agresive, I burn 1 then wait for the other 2 to attack my wyvern and burn them close the to 1st corps, melee wont affect the amount, only the poly points from the skill and very important, Moschop has to be set as "agressive" for the bonus, 3 mantis rarely drops bellow 1k at 1x, I've been using this since moschop got updated long ago, to upgrade my bases (5 bases) to tek in official pve, plus to craft tons of top tier riot sets rather than flak (has more armor and is just silica, fiber, hide and poly) 😉
Oh gotcha, honestly didn’t even pay attention to any buffs on the moschops. But yeah I had it on aggressive/unridden! Interesting.. I’ll have to try it again with this info. What is your bonus Poly % at for the Moschop? Good shit my guy. Appreciate the conversation =]
Hey! So, since I do everything on single player and by myself, I use the SoloFarm Mod which essentially makes farming Dino’s like the doed/anky/etc constantly swing like someone is riding it. It just helps me showcase certain situations better rather than the doed/anky just sitting there doing nothing lol.
It is truly amazing how much you can learn about this game. I remember looking back when I first started out and I just think, holy shit did I really play like that? Lol.
Honestly didn’t even think about theri, but the poly section was updated in the part 2 video as well =]. In my opinion, easiest way is with a maewing slam, then just fly on out of there.
Okay so after testing, you are correct if you just want the passive paste on the ground. However you must enable wandering to produce the passive paste within the Achatins’s inventory, that caps out at 100.
@@FatCatArk Hey bro not sure to be honest i cryo all mine cuz i filled a tek box but last week i put them all back out and i forgot to put on roaming and still working a treat .. Epic video tho
Haha ah gotcha, yeah they still shit out the passive paste on the ground without being on wandering so you’re good to keep doing it that way. But if they are on wandering they also produce 1 paste per minute in their inventory, up to 100! Thanks man!
Working on a bigger video now, just takes a lot of content to finish. Should get that up soon! As well as like 3 other videos I’m working on as well. I gotchu!
Best method for poly i think is karkinos but it little different with your method, we tame a level 5 karkinos clone them after that use moschop to harvet
I agree, number 1 would be karki cloner 100%, however, for the average Ark player, most don’t have Cloner Engram. Some players are solo, or duo, I like to stick with stuff that everyone can do. But I appreciate the comment and you are absolutely correct, karki cloner with high melee moschops is number 1 all day!
Nice video but tbh you prob can do alpha velo stalk with a 300 melee giga but your gonna be getting messed up I used to run it with a 800 melee giga before I got top stats and it would take like 30 bites to kill the Thorny dragons
For sure, you don’t necessarily need to have a high melee giga. But for efficiency purposes, to keep hexagon farming at the top of the list, it is better to have a high melee giga so you can speed run the velo mission in under 5 minutes. I was a bit spoiled on smalls with the top giga line at 2.1k melee. But you are absolutely correct, you can do it with a 300 melee giga but you’ll be biting on those Thorny’s for a hot minute lol. They also hit the hardest out of all the Dino’s in that mission, so you may lose a decent amount of health if you don’t have a high armor saddle! Good comment though, I appreciate the feedback! =]
Safe way to get Polly is island penguins with maschop slot caps in roughly 5 mins and almost never contested not sure why it fell off the “meta” strategy’s early game
Yeah I don’t know why that has fallen off. I think you can accomplish the same concept with Mantis/Karki’s. Also with gen 2 being released, everyone has cloning chambers and are cloning Karki’s for Poly. People just disrespect the moschops my guy.
just get a shadowmane or some type of creature like that and go to a volcano/lava area and kill everything in site.. I used to do beaver dam runs but its way less time consuming and you get more xp killing things then crafting it!
It’s an option for sure, but honestly depends so much on what kind of server you play on. Some of the lesser methods could be better on a high rate server, like beaver dams, since they have like 1.2k paste in each. 100% up to preference but most of this is based off officials/smalls. I find farming Megachelons for the shell fragments and grinding them into chitin work pretty well too. Ratio is 1 fragment to 50 chitin. As long as you kite the megachelon up to the surface to kill it you can chainsaw the body. Nevertheless I appreciate the comment!

Oh for sure, skiff definitely the best! With part 2 stopping soon I’ll update most of these with the stryder lol. But yeah skiff best option hah. Good stuff!
I think the honey cave is better then ab for farming organic poly
It absolutely could be, those two were pretty much down to preference. Since the Stryder was added, Ab could be better because you can do that run in like 2 minutes. Appreciate the comment =]
For the Lunar electronics you're better off doing gamma reaper king mission. Can do early game with a rex/spino/ reaper for 8k+ in one run
Absolutely! I made the resource updated correction on my resource part 2 video, thanks for the comment!
Starts out with goldeneye music, gg 🤣
100% my guy lol
This all on 1x settings?
Hey! That video was done on 3x rate! Hope the video helped you out!
missions on modded servers give more hexagons based on the rate?
It depends on whatever hexagon rates they set on their server. Most of the time it stays official settings. But I believe code red? Maybe? Boosts hexagon earnings by a % as one of the word buffs

why my gacha won't pickup achatina paste again?
Hey so just a few tips for you to remember:
- if you don’t have enough achatina’s so like 1-2, it won’t produce enough paste to keep the gacha’s busy and they will produce crystals faster than they’ll pick up the paste.
- if you aren’t in render of the gacha’s they will not pick up the paste nor will the achatina’s produce paste.
- Obviously make sure the gacha isn’t slot capped or too far from the achatina’s, or has any blocking structures between the achatina’s and gacha.
Hope that helps!
Tbf the tables and benches on ext give more than the lamp posts, especially electronics and dust.
Very true! Honestly not sure how I forgot those lol. But absolutely, for dust/eletronics. Benches are your go to! Good call!
