Tips & Strategies
If you get a good battle dino, just go out on it and find tek animals. Kill them, you will harvest lots of element dust, electronics, scrap metal, and oil. One 10 minute run can bring in probably one or two element worth of element dust. Electronics are used to craft many things, oil is used to make gas, and scrap metal can be smelted into scrap metal ingot at one scrap metal=one scrap metal ingot (double of regular metal to regular ingot) I strongly suggest using argies for these runs, because they have weight reduction on the metal, and these tek runs can be quite encumbering. I will warn you, however, that tek dinos have not yet been added to mobile. One element is 1,000 element dust, and can only be crafted at a tek replicator. On the island, the tek dinos that you can find are tek parasaurs, tek raptors, tek stegos, and tek rexes. These can be tamed and bred, and you can harvest the recourses from the babies. Tek animals are the same as organic but with different drops.
More Element Dust Tips
Saw a guy on reddit who bred 2 tek parasaurs constantly and when the babies died he would farm them for dust and scrap metal. Ruthless, but efficient
Forbidden fun dip
When you are in the Extinction Map: Hit the Lamps, benches and Tables in the City with a Doedi. You get a lot of dust! Easy way to get Full Tech Armor.
Once you open the engram Element fron Ext, you can craft Element from the dust. Use a weight Argy and pump points into Doedic's weight as well to take more swings per flight. They do not get extra dust from melee points. Have been farming for a while to know the difference now 🙂
Take a good doed to extinction stay in sanctuary and attack every light poll and bench you see they pay out heavy in dust, electronics and crystal
Just vandalise the local benches tables and lamps in extinction to get easy element dust.
You can also get element dust from tek dinos
You can breed tek animals and kill the babies with a chainsaw and bam your farming element dust
Goodluck
All bionic Dino variants work as well to drop. I recommend using tek parasaurs for easy farming
