Just make a chitin farm...can be tedious and takes some time but tame a bunch of scorpions all female with one male. Build a breeding house for them dump them in breed them like crazy (keep females to lay more eggs and kill the males untill your happy with your egg production) hatch them and let them grow then murder away. Only reason you ever have to pop out for chitin would be if you needed it immediately and you didn't have any scorpions kicking around to murder.

Granted I do have decent breeding settings but nothing crazy and this only really works as a semi automatic farm if you have them able to mature past 10% without them dying .

Chitin in early game: *𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱*

Chitin in late game: *𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆*

Insects: *exist*

Megatherium: *ominous breathing*

Player: *laughs in cementing paste*

Go in The Island swamp cave with megatherium and get about 50 000 chitin

Therizinosaurs can harvest upto 80 chitin

Just use there third attack type on scorpions

(Scorpions are more abundant near the mountain in Redwoods)

This top works for mobile not known for PC/console

(You don’t have to do this you can use a different tame)

But what I do is get my Barry he is level 57 and I just take it to hunter cave and I kill all bugs in sight and I walk out with more chiten then I know what to do with!

[I play on ARK mobile] If you ever desperately need chitin for something ridiculous, go to one of the "easy" caves and just murder spiders and scorpions (remember to bring a few handfuls of stimulants and a strong weapon), now you have 5,000 and cannot move 👍🏻

There are 3 ways to get Chitin: find a horseshoe crab, or kill ants and flying bugs in a forrest, or go to cave

I think you new players shoud harvest the bugs

Cough cough megatherium
