This is for newer players so please don’t downvote because your Quetz and anky can get more. Step one make a raft with a bed and some storage and if you want to you can put a furnace down. Step two if you have an anky get them on the raft with some ramps and roofs. Step 3 look at the ark wiki and find the nearest metal rocks (the gold ones). Step four Christopher Columbus your a$$ over there. Step five for longer stays make a little house nothing fancy even 2 foundations a bed and storage with some backup gear will do. Step six get that metal. Also bring way more than you think you ever will, 1900 metal ore will only make 10 longneck rifles. Thank you for reading this, if I knew you read this it would make my day, now have a lovely rest of your day……
Can we have a moment for our amazing ankys…
Gas bag+mining drill= more metal than you know what to do with!
Make it point to the sky if this helped!!!
If ur on mobile just go to the top of the volcano and there will be all the metal, obsidian, and crystal u will ever need with ZERO things that want to kill u.
P.S is it just me or does everything I type have a 12 second delay
Poor people use a stone pick. Crazy people use a metal pick . Normal people use a anky rich people use a magmasour
Tame an anky and argy pick up the anky with an argy go to metal mountain then hit metal rocks with your anky and boom you have a metal making machine
On ASA metal takes about 1 hour to respawn.
Leave Anky Melee at 800 that’s cap adding more Melee does not get you more metal use the rest of the points on weight and health
If you are having trouble getting metal and don’t have anky, go for the small piles of rocks you should get 2-3 per pile
Herbivore island has a bunch of metal rocks and there are no predators there
Guy who said ro build raft-base and mine iron with ankylo
I hope you had good day too :)
I hope world will have more people like you.

The rocks that are full gold give tons of metal, just head over to the volcano and ur all set.
I recommend go for industrial forge first,it need a lot of grinding,but it worth it,smelt 20 metal per 20 second,after that,metal are no longer a problem
Holding a mining drill makes the metal weight reduced by 75% and its really good aswell a
So you need enough iron to never have to go on a damn mining trip again? Very well, tame an argy, an anklyo and at least 3 ravengers, ride the argy and fly the anklyo to a mountain, the ravengers should be able to keep up with you, when you get to the mountain you can mine as much metal as you want, and due to everything you brought having a weight reduction to metal weight won’t be an issue, just don’t give the argy any metal since the anklyo has a higher reduction
I know it says anky is the best which i used to believe until i tried magmasaurs , my magmasaur ls level 200 with 350% damage ( not even leveled ) gets 750 from the small nodes and like 1300 from the big ones , my harvest rating is x2 but anky at x2 gives 250 to 330 from the smaller ones and 800 at most from the big ones , on any map that has magmasaurs just get any level 90+ , imprint it and level up damage and weight , if you wanna be smart with it you don’t have to level up weight on the magmasaur , you can tame an argy anky and magmasaur , collect metal with the magmasaur , put it in the anky and pick it up with an argy then go home , that compensates for the fact that you can’t pick up a magmasaur and he doesn’t have weight reductions on metal
For you early/mid game players just take a raft and go too herbivore island. Lost of metal in a safe area
+ You can take yourself a anky while your there
Tame argy and anky find some place where is a lot of metal pick up anky with argy harvest metal with him carry it back to base and put all your metal in industrial forge or refining forge
Ah yes, use magmasaur. Ah yes, use mining drill. Ah yes, use Dunkleosteus. Ah yes, go for mineral-rich maps.
Ah yes, I'm playing on mobile lol. (No offense)
Look for gold rocks or rocks who shine
