Everyone wants to spend less time fishing for resources and more on alternative, more enjoyable activities, such as exploring the newest territories, building any irresistible structures, horseback riding, and more. And this reasoning is realizable! It is only necessary to present one simple thing: a systematic approach is important in everything.
Most of the players prefer to chaotically hammer walls, sometimes removing them radically in all directions without exception. This is a very fat mistake! There is a more common and effective method, which is to dig up mines.
It is made like this: a tunnel is dug as many blocks in height as you like. From it, on the sides, more tunnels are created with a gap in both blocks. The length of each tunnel is chosen to your liking. Thus, the player covers a large area and extracts ore from it, much more efficiently than digging absolutely everything and in all directions without exception.
The mines must be carried out at any height, i.e. create a multi-storey system. The top contains only iron and coal. The most precious thing is at the bottom, not later than 10 blocks above the bedrock: given diamonds, gold, crimson dust, lapis lazuli and so on.
Dig in puddles of lava - there is a rumor that diamonds have been repeatedly found there (and, mysteriously, judging by the experiments, this is indeed the case). If you keep the caves, undoubtedly explore them - repeatedly expensive blocks literally stick out of the walls, and it is also possible to find chests with such outlandish luggage as a saddle.

At times it will be easier to collect a sufficient number of seedlings (1 stack of any kind is quite enough), organize the territory and plant them there. First, there will be excellent density. Secondly, all species will appear planted separately, and you will not need to run around the oak grove in order to find a little bit of birch. Thirdly, everyone is kept near, and if it should be very urgent, it is possible to use bone meal all the time.
Here it is the same as with trees: it will be easier when everything is near. In this regard, spend your leisure time collecting and planting the necessary plants, starting with wheat, which seeds are airy to get. Then, when everything is indispensable for bait and breeding, it is really possible to switch to animals. But the given is not indisputable, the highest, so that you have something to satisfy your hunger, and the rest is a simple variety.
Underworld resources
Going there without armor is pointless. In this regard, fill the experiment, enchant everything to the maximum. Take only the essentials with you, including obsidian and flint. Better, so that everything is diamond. In principle, there is little consistency here: you just need to prepare smoothly, and then you just need to look for what you need.
Resource mining is the main mechanic in the game that everyone else is based on. There are various resources in the Rasta world: stones, ores, wood, fabric, components.
Loot base... First (if you are playing on a classic server) you will have a stone and a torch in your hands. The torch is useless in this matter, but the stone is useful. This is the only tool that can extract all types of resources equally quickly without breaking it too quickly.
First you need to get wood and stone. With a tree it is clear, but a stone. Not every boulder lends itself to the player, certain stones are needed. However, it is quite simple to distinguish them, they stand out very much from everything else. From a tree, no matter how obvious it sounds, you can get a tree, and from boulders there are four types of resources. These are: stones, iron ore, sulfuric ore and high quality metal ore. These resources must be mined first.
Then you need to make a wooden pick and an ax. Only wood can be mined with an ax, and only stone with a pick. These tools will greatly increase your mining speed. By the way, these tools can be used for aimless walks if you don't want to lose good tools. Further, the tools will get better, there is no point in dwelling on them. Even in the initial stages, tissue and animal fat will come in handy.

The fabric is collected from bushes, which, like boulders, are different from other objects. For the extraction of animal fat, you need a bow and preferably a knife or ax. After killing a boar (this is the easiest way), you need to chop his body until it disappears. Animals can drop fat, tissue, skin, bone debris and meat. Most of this will be needed sooner or later.
How to find and collect components in Rust
Components... Rust recently introduced a component system. These are the kind of resources that can only be found. They differ in rarity and need. You can find the simplest ones simply by walking around the map in various trash cans. There are usually more valuable items in the boxes. In warehouses, you can find medium-sized components such as a housing for a pistol or gears for armored doors. Large man-made structures (RTs) have the coolest components, but they are usually in the hardest to reach. Components can be mined from barrels, and for this you need an item that can break them, no matter which one.
How to get resources in Rust: looking for an alternative
You can get ore in one more way - build a quarry... We recommend that you read the article about. I must say right away that it attracts a lot of attention, but the extraction of ores will increase significantly. Another problem is that not all quarries will extract resources. With the help of geological charges, it is necessary to determine where there are ore deposits. You can also collect wood, stone, metal and sulfur ore directly from the ground. They lie in such a way that it is impossible not to notice. Of course, you can't collect much like that, but just walking around the world, you sometimes wonder how much useful you have found, even though you didn’t do anything.
Results. At the end, we will briefly go over different resources and methods of their extraction:
1. Wood... The fastest way to get it is with a metal ax. It makes less noise than a homemade one, and cuts many times faster.
2. Stones and ores... Here, too, no tricks, a relatively fast and quiet metal pick. You can collect even faster with an icebreaker!
3. Resources from animals... A bone knife or any ax is best for butchering a corpse.
4.Barrels with components... Something not very useful will come in handy and that it is not a pity to break the barrels.
And of course, do not forget about your hands, and what they can collect: ores, stones, cloth and food (mushrooms).
How to farm in Rust by killing players
A method that can hardly be called mining deserves special attention, but it can bring you a lot of resources and save a lot of time. This is a hunt for other players. If you hear or see someone mining for resources, get as close and as quiet as possible, and then suddenly attack and kill the miner from the ambush. It is better to use a revolver for this, as it is cheap and effective.
The resources in the game are useful for crafting literally any items and inventory. From modified melee weapons to massively sized automatic turrets. There are a huge number of different resources, as well as even more ways to get them. In this article, we will try to list the most popular and effective ways to get the most valuable resources.
How to get resources from buildings and inactive items
Before proceeding to the walkthrough, each user must know exactly how to interact with the various items found in the game in order to get the main types of resources. For example, how to smash buildings, take apart furniture and other objects to obtain wood, concrete, steel, etc. In order to do this, you need to be in the area of the machine. Once you're not far from the workbench, press the V key to open the interaction menu. Similar machines can be located near each settlement. After you have opened the workbench menu, find the item that you want to use to mine resources (for example, wood or rubber tires) and press the R key. This action will open another menu that will show you what exactly you will get as a result of processing the item. what resources will become available to you. If you confirm the processing, the item will instantly disappear from the game world, and resources will immediately appear in the workbench that you can pick up.
How to get resources from items, weapons or armor
Just bring the item that you want to process into resources to the workbench, hold down the V key, browse the list of resources received and press the R key. A pop-up window will open again in front of you, the recycled items will turn into resources and end up in the workbench. However, remember that if you do not recycle items individually, but use them several at once, there is a chance of losing resources that have not yet been used. For example, if you only use wood from a pencil, then there is a chance of losing the lead and it will no longer be available for use.
How to access new resources
To access the newly created resources and transport them, go to the workbench and press the R key (or another key that is responsible for the "transfer" function).
- When you are near a vestak, the T key automatically transfers all mined resources to your inventory by default.
- If you hover your mouse over the drawing and press the Q key during construction, you can see what resources are missing to complete the construction and mark them. Thus, having met any object in the game world from which you can get the necessary resource, you will see the corresponding message and the "magnifying glass" icon on this object.
- Any crafting on the workbench will use the resources in the workbench storage, not in the character's inventory. This means that keeping any material out of storage is not a good idea.
- If you place a container with a certain amount of resources on the workbench, they will automatically be transferred to the workbench storage.
List of items
Use the keyboard shortcut ctrl + f in your browser to find the item you want.
- Acid - Found in mutated insects and mosquitoes. Also, acid can be obtained from batteries and accumulators.
- Glue - Found in vegetable starch and electrical tape. The glue will be used quite often, so try not to miss items that contain it.
- Aluminum - Aluminum cans, cans and trays.
- Antiseptics - Arbaxo cleaning products, items containing asbestos and turpentine.
- Asbestos - Arbaxo cleaning products, rat poison. For cleaning products, try researching major chain stores. Arbaxo industrial cleaning products also make you double the currency.
- Throwing Fibers - Only available from vendors, but can also occasionally be found in rare rare items such as duct tape.
- Bones - Skulls, teeth of insects and animals.
- Pottery - Utensils such as plates, cups, and mugs. Toilets can also often be a source of ceramics.
- Schemes - Shoot from machine gun towers, split them into separate resources, get improved schemes and maps. Also pay attention to devices that have microprocessors. For example telephones, etc.
- Cloth - Kill regular raiders, take their resources and clothes. You can also divide some pieces of furniture into resources. For example sofas, upholstered chairs or carpets. Try not to have pre-war money in your inventory when you go looking for fabric. In this case, money will be spent in a 1: 1 ratio and it will cost you dearly.
- Concrete - It is quite difficult to obtain this resource in sufficient quantities. Try buying packages of plaster or scrapping cinder blocks and ruined buildings for resources.
- Copper - Various metal objects. Divide broken or broken light bulbs into resources.
- Cork - Vintage globes or baseballs.
- Crystals - Crystal Decanters will give you 4 crystals, microscopes will give you 2.
- Fertilizers - The only place to find this resource is in the Fertilizer Pack.
- Fiberglass - From weapons or rat poison. can also be purchased from merchants. Also found in Arbaxo cleaning products.
- Fiber Optic - Biometric Scanners and Rat Poison.
- Gears - Loot from mechanical items such as typewriters, telephones, watches, and microscopes.
- Glass - Empty bottles of Nuka Cola, and containers from other drinks.
- Gold - Unfortunately, there are no items from which to mine gold. The only way to get gold is to remove someone's gold pocket watch or gold jewelry.
- Graphite - Pencils, batteries and accumulators.
- Leather - Divide the standard raider suit into resources. It contains a large amount of skin.
- Nuclear Materials - Nuclear reaction is expensive and used for other purposes, but if you are completely desperate, you can use it too. Also look for alarms and biometric scanners. Also pay attention to the various board games. Some of them contain nuclear material. One of these games is located in Sean's room, which can be accessed immediately after the introductory part of the game.
- Oil - Look for and check all items that may contain oil. For example, oil lamps, cans, etc. Most often they can be found in the vicinity of Boston.
- Plastic - Plastic forks, knives, plates. Old globes contain 2 units of plastic. Also, plastic is extracted from toys. For example, from baby rattles.
- Rubber - Rubber tires that can be found on the road. Also diving suits if you are in an area where tires are difficult to find.
- Screws - Various mechanical objects and toys such as toy cars and toasters. Also vintage globes.
- Silver - Silver forks, spoons and knives. Do not use an antique silver pocket watch as it is quite expensive.
- Springs - Check lighters and other mechanical items. For example, toasters.
- Steel - Destroyed houses, chairs, accessories, furniture fittings and so on. Also look out for toasters and toolboxes. Lamp posts, irons, and some weapons. Old wrecked cars are also a great source of steel.
- Wood - Divide trees and old furniture from destroyed houses into resources. Use old wooden fences. Wood is the most common resource in the game and you won't have any problems finding it.
A recent addition to ARK: Survival Evolved, Aberration, has added a ton of new resources to the game, while the old ones have undergone minor changes. You will need these materials to create most of the items in the game, so you will spend a lot of time getting them. Of course, few people like to roam the entire game map in search of the necessary minerals and puzzle over how to get them. For this reason, we decided to write a small guide on where to look and how to get all the basic resources in the new expansion.
Search and extraction of resources in ARK Aberration
Wood
Let's start with a simple one - wood. You can find it in almost any corner of the game world. True, we immediately note that in the addition, the usual tree is replaced by mushroom wood. It is practically indistinguishable from the standard material. In some recipes, only the mushroom tree can be used at all.
To speed up the extraction of this resource, it is worth getting yourself a Mole Rat, since it has one very interesting feature - if you put a tree in its inventory, then its weight will decrease by 5 times. As a result, you can collect a huge amount of this material in one go.
Stone
Cobblestones are scattered everywhere, so you will definitely not have any problems with the extraction of stone. However, you can significantly speed up its production by taming the Dedicurus.
Iron ore
This material will be somewhat more complicated. Remember right away that looking for him near rivers and in forest locations is useless, since he rarely appears in these areas. You can try to domesticate the ravager, and then climb the nearby slopes along the vines. There you will find medium iron ore reserves. But you do not need to climb the tops of the rocks, otherwise you will die from too high levels of radiation.
The really large deposits of this resource are located in the blue zone. You can get there on Karkinos or Spinosaurus. You should also take your Lampadoga with you. You will be able to stumble upon rich iron deposits almost immediately after arriving in the desired region. We also advise you not to lose sight of the cobblestones shown in the screenshot below, as they also drop iron ore.
Large deposits of metal are shown in the second image above. You can use the bridge built across the river as a guide.
Chitin
To get it, it is worth killing creatures presented in the main game and past additions, for example, trilobites, scorpions and ants. Most can be obtained from Karkinos, however we do not recommend attacking them without having a powerful pet with you.
Regular and black pearls
You can find simple pearls at the bottom of a local lake or stream, the location of which is shown in the pictures below.
It can also be obtained by killing trilobites that live near rivers. The picture below shows the location where you can find a lot of these creatures and it is relatively safe to farm them.
There is a small chance of black pearls falling from trilobites. In addition, domesticated otters are capable of harvesting black pearls with a certain chance when cutting fish and trilobites.
Oil
Here, too, everything is quite simple - kill trilobites and get oil from them. In general, these creatures are the source of a considerable number of useful materials, so we recommend that you visit them as often as possible.
Organic polymer
The fastest way to get this resource is from karkinos, but these creatures have considerable survivability, so you should only attack them using a powerful animal. In this case, a high-level Megalosaurus, Spinosaurus or another Karkinos will do.
Red, blue and green crystals
You can find green crystals in local forest areas. The screenshot below shows their approximate location.
Among other things, crystals of any color fall from wild mole rats, from time to time crawling underground. In some cases, these items crawl right out of the ground after earthquakes.
White crystals
The rarest type of crystals that does not have a specific spawn location, that is, with a small probability it can fall out to you when you get blue, red or green crystals.
Obsidian
It can be found in a radioactive area. Be sure to put on an anti-radiation suit and sit on some powerful creature (Spinosaurus or Karkinos will do). You do not need to go too far from the entrance, as obsidian is found at the very beginning of the location.
Everyone wants to spend less time mining resources and more on other, more enjoyable activities, such as exploring new territories, building various beautiful structures, horseback riding, and more. And it's doable! You just need to understand one simple thing: a systematic approach is important in everything.
Ore
Most players prefer to randomly pound walls, sometimes removing them completely in all directions. This is a very fat mistake! There is an easier and more efficient way, which is to dig the mines.
It is done like this: a tunnel is dug as many blocks in height as you like. From it, on the sides, more tunnels are created with an interval of two blocks. The length of each tunnel is chosen according to your taste. Thus, the player covers a large area and extracts ore from it, much more efficiently than digging absolutely everything and in all directions.
Mines need to be done at different heights, i.e. create a multi-storey system. Above is only iron and coal. The most valuable thing is located at the bottom, no further than 10 blocks above the bedrock: these are diamonds, gold, red dust, lapis lazuli and so on.
Dig in puddles of lava - there is a rumor that diamonds are often found there (and, oddly enough, judging by the experiments, this is really so). If you find caves, be sure to explore them - often valuable blocks stick out right from the walls, and you can also find chests with such rare things as a saddle.
Wood
Running through the forests, chopping down everything around, until you finally have to run very far behind the trees is stupid. If only because they all grow in a chaotic manner. There is also one trick here.
At times it will be easier to collect a sufficient number of seedlings (one stack of each species is quite enough), prepare the territory and plant them there. First, there will be high density. Secondly, all species will be planted separately, and you will not have to run around the oak grove to find some birch. Thirdly, everything is close by, and if you need it very urgently, you can always use bone meal.
This is the same as with trees: it will be easier when everything is near. So take the time to collect and plant the plants you need, starting with wheat, the seeds of which are easy to obtain. Then, when you have everything you need for bait and breeding, you can switch to animals. But this is not necessary, the main thing is that you have something to satisfy your hunger, and the rest is just variety.
Underworld resources
Going there without armor is pointless. Therefore, gain experience, enchant everything to the maximum. Take only the essentials with you, including obsidian and flint. It is better that everything is diamond. In principle, there is little consistency here: you just need to prepare well, and then only look for what is needed.
