This guide will teach you some tips incase you’re struggling with the game and want to get better.

Tip #1 – Know which tools to use

Knowing which tools to gather which resources is an important skill to learn. There are so many different ways of gathering resources, but the most reliable methods available are the pickaxe and the axe. Pickaxes are specialized in gathering thatch, flint, metal, and meat, while axes are specialized in gathering wood, stone, hide, and other secondary resources such as organic polymer, chitin, and keratin.

Tip #2 – Hostility depends on diet

If you’ve been walking through the ark for a while now, you know that not every creature is cute and cuddly. In fact, quite a few seem to be out to get you when they have the chance. So here’s a heads up for newer players: Herbivores are usually non-aggressive unless attacked. Carnivores usually attack upon sight. And Omnivores are usually either non-aggressive unless attacked, or aggressive upon sight. There are certain exceptions to this rule, but generally speaking – this is just how the creatures in Ark behave towards the player, so you might need to get used to it.
