Upon the inclusion of the Redwood biome in Ark, large Redwood Trees were added to the game, a source of Sap.

Sap is a resource that is described as a thick blob and although it appears to not be much of use on its own, it is needed for other purposes.

Although the Redwood Trees are abundant on certain maps, you will need to go through certain steps to get your hands-on Sap.

How to Collect Sap?

To collect Sap from the Redwood Trees (large round trees in the Redwood biome), you will need to craft Tree Sap Taps, which will be built on the side of the trees.

You may need to place a tree platform to provide a place to stand (or land your flyer) on while you place and later on collect Sap.

The best way to farm Sap is to place multiple Tree Sap Taps around a tree or a group of them and later come back to collect from all of them.

Sap will generate in each Tree Sap Tap over 10 minutes and 20 seconds, which is why having multiple once will make collecting more efficient.

Sap Tap Amargasaurus Spike Usage

Lost Island introduced the Amargasaurus to Ark which has the unique ability to replenish its spikes when they are removed.

The Amargasaurus Spikes can be collected by players and used by placing them into Sap Taps to make the Sap production process faster.

Using Amargasaurus Spikes to speed up Sap production can reduce the need to sort to other and more difficult ways to obtain Sap.
