ARK: Survival Ascended Genesis — Resources
Genesis resource guide: biome-specific materials, hexagon alternatives, and farming routes for ship building.
Biome Resource Map
Bog: Fiber, thatch, rare mushrooms, sap, cementing paste from beelzebufo. Arctic: Organic polymer, crystal, oil, pelt. Ocean: Oil, pearls, black pearls, silica pearls. Volcanic: Element shards, obsidian, metal, crystal. Lunar: Element, crystal, rare tek-component nodes.
Hexagon store supplements any resource type — use when biome access is inconvenient or mission cooldowns block travel.
Ship Building Materials
Ship Frames require metal ingots, polymer, and Treated Planks from Bog timber processing. Hull upgrades need metal ingots, cementing paste, and hexagon-purchased naval components. Cannon ammunition consumes gunpowder, metal, and sparkpowder.
Establish Volcanic Magmasaur smelting operation for bulk metal. Bog fiber farms feed polymer production via fabricator chains.
Taming and Combat Resources
Narcotics and biotoxin for X-Creature taming — stock 2.5x normal amounts. Exceptional kibble ingredients from Bog (rare flowers/meat) and Ocean (fish). Medical brews and custom cooked foods for boss attempts.
Cryopods from hexagon store reduce resource waste from tame loss during cross-biome transport.
Efficient Farming Routes
Daily route: Bog fiber → Volcanic metal/element → Ocean pearls → hexagon store top-up for gaps. Use Ankylosaurus + Argentavis weight chains or Magmasaur solo Volcanic runs.
X-Ankylosaurus in Volcanic with imprint bonus maximizes metal per node. Megachelon ocean platform serves as mobile pearl farming base.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can hexagons replace farming?
Partially. Hexagon store sells most resources but is expensive for bulk metal/polymer. Combine farming with hexagon top-ups.
Best metal source in Genesis?
Volcanic biome nodes with Magmasaur smelting. Hexagon store for emergency metal purchases.
Where are black pearls?
Ocean deep trenches and Palaeoctopus cave routes. Tusoteuthis and alpha ocean missions drop clusters.
