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

Herbivore island has a bunch of metal rocks and there are no predators 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

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

Get an Anky and argi have your friend get on the anky and you pick him up with the argi and you will get more Weight therefore more Metal and ur mobile.

On the island if you are starting off build a raft an head to herbivore (south east island) once you arrive knock out an anky and make a saddle use him to excavate some metal and load it onto your raft herbivore has no predators and lots of metal making it ideal for new tribes or tribes with low metal needs also if your lucky a basilo (a slender type of whale) will spawn in the bay these are good for the arctic and provide oil happy hunting!

The island has a volcano In the middle of the map full of metal,crystal and obsidian take any flying tame up there and you can get like 300 metal depending on your weight

If you play on a random gen ark then you can get a decent amount of metal from the slightly bigger small rocks on the beach

Use anky and argy argy inventory clear then farm metal ☺️🙏

Get a paracer, and put as big of a platform on top via foundations and add a ramp that goes down. This can be done with one person but the more the smoother. Get as MANY ankys on the paracers back as possible pump weight in all except one pump that anky with melee. Also keep an argy on top. Use the argy to move your one melee anky. Get metal, go back to paracer and load all of the ankys on its back with metal. Since ankys have weight reduction and don't add to the paracers weight you can carry much more metal at a time. This can be scaled up infinitely, only problem is sometimes the ankys can fall but keeping an argent will help load them back on the paracer

On the island you will need a tame with a lot of weight and mine or use anklyo

tame a doedic, go to the metal places, u will get the metal ore turned into worthless stones

A argie and a anky are good combos.just go to mountains with ur argie carrying the anky and if the argie has no things in it's inventory and you pick up a anky full with metal your argie can pick it up with weight left over!

Magmasaur is faster than anky on the ground, and gathers more, you don’t need a flier

Metal. Metal is USEFUL. But where oh where are they on Scorched Earth?

Drop quetz - “Metal yay” :D
Ramp quetz - “Boutta end your career” >:)

Mine metal rock with metal pickaxe

The best is crab and anky in blue zone on ab skiff can’t get black slot anymore

Remember to keep all your metal in your anky due to weight decreasing. Crystal, obsidian, and stone go in the argy.

For noobs level 30-40 u can go to the attic and all you need is and argy a base and fur pants and fur chest plate you can find them on the mountain ORE 😬 you can do it on the coast - Surviver Daniel
