Never stop crafting this. Just when u think u have enough, and want to craft something, turns out u need 500 more

Why does the obsidian have to be so heavy!!!!

On Fjordur there is a cave called The Shimmering Halls located at 12.5 62.6. In this cave you can harvest polymer from boxes that spawn by a anvil found in the cave. There is a bridge that goes straight and right. It is on the right. These boxes respawn and give you polymer, metal, and obsidian.

ARK MOBILE: This method is preferable for single player as youll receive 100% of your materials back if you destroy a structure. What you want to do is grab yourself some clubs and go kill as many penguins as you can for organic polymer. You then want to place that organic polymer in a fabricator and make vaults - I typically do around 4- Destroy them and instead of recieving organic polymer, it’ll be converted to regular polymer. Repeat the process :D

Organic poly will work instead of regular poly if you’re in a pinch. Otherwise just craft it with obsidian and and cementing paste in a fabricator.

U will need this all the time once u get a fabricator and u need obsidian and segmenting paste and personal I found it hard to kill animals for like 4 keratin so if ur on the island go in between the snow area and redwood forest and u will see a Rivar there will be some dams now if u haven’t looked in the dams then u will be rich but if u look in the m often then u won’t have as much

Easy way to get lots of obsidian

Get an argy and anky and go to a place where there is a lot of obsidian nodes and smack away with you anky and then put the obsidian in your argy because of the weight reduction and fly back to base. I have gotten 4 stacks at a time with this method.

Here is an extremely useful method for getting obsidian to craft this if you don’t want to waste time going over to the mountains:

Get a second player on console, have them carry your stuff, and fast travel to a bed in an area near obsidian spawns. The second player will be teleported to you because of the host distance thing, and then have them give your stuff back and return home in the same way

I have 3 fabricators with 50 fuel constantly crafting polymer and electronics for the industrial grinder and other fabricated things

Ok first off, as another user stated, bring anklo and argy to any place with a lot of obsidian rocks. Use anklo and when it’s gets over encumbered transfer the obsidian to argy. Repeat until your argy is just able to fly (with you riding it) and bring to base. For mobile, bring to volcano (and since I’ve seen a few allos get in the top area, bring a few spikes. Console players could do this method too! If wood, bring around about 75. Set up a parameter on the outskirts, when done build a parameter inward, Repeat. If metal, bring around 45-50(maybe. Haven’t put metal up there yet) That way, when you leave ur anklo on the volcano, they will be about 50% safer than just being in the open with no defense. Additionally the more melee damage they have, the more materials you get.[at least that’s what I heard]

Secondly, I saw some user whining about polymer being made in the fabricator, and not the smithy… so their logic is; “if it uses it, they must produce the materials used in all listed recipes/engrams”…. See a problem here? You can’t smelt in the smithy, you have the refining forge, and the industrial forge for a reason. What do you do when you get metal? Put them in a forge, light the fire…. After it’s done, here is the major part: you take the ingots to the smithy. So what if requires the next workstation to create, when it comes down to it, the fabricator is a forge of advanced materials (obviously weapons, equipment, ammo, etc. as well)…. What im saying is, just enjoy the game and don’t complain about an extremely minor inconvenience.

Organic polymer count as well,but you only can stack 10,but can stack to 600,at least enough for a grinder

If your playing on extinction the corrupted nodes can be used as polymer to so get your shadowmanes ready and shred the heak out of the big corrupted dinos that give the most or just do red orbital drops they have ALOT of big corrupted dinos

Use a dunkleosteus, to gather the obsidian to craft this off the coast of the wyvern tench there is a bunch of nodes

On the island I’ve seen obsidian spawn on top of the volcano and in the snow area

An awesome way to get polymer on the mobile version is to set up a bed next to the Skylord cave. Run the cave and use an Argy to get to blue ob. Look for a Revival Platform. Place it. Demolish it. Easy 10 poly, 100 metal ingots, 25 crystal, and about 13 electronics.

If on extinction just use corrupted nodes

Polymer [NOT ORGANIC POLYMER] is the main currency on online officially server’s you can Use it to buy dinosaurs and armour and weapon blueprints and lots of other stuff.

A few ways I know of getting a bunch of this include going to drops that are yellow or above and taking the stuff made at a fabricator and grind it or you can take an anky mine some obsidian rocks and take a megatherium to a cave with a bunch of bugs and than use a doedicurus to get a bunch of stone or you could kill a bunch of titanyroma drones and soldiers with a frog

Guys use organic polymer. It is the smae just only stacks to 20. You can find it on penguins in the tundra and ice bergs or you can find it on beached corpses on valguero

You can use organic polymer in place of this but it will have a timer

Don’t use cement on this and make a poly farm
