Utility Tips

What is a gacha used for? gacha battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These guys will eat 90% of the stuff you drop to them. Treat them as recycling bins. I have a dino leash, 2 snow owls and 2 gachas within it. Anytime I have unneeded stone/wood/tools then I just toss it to them and reap the rewards. Also, their crystals are great for raw materials but don’t forget to put them on “any” production so they can still drop you some great loot. Even a ramshackle crystal gave one of my buds a Journeyman riot leggings to its def worth to switch to any production from time to time. Also Imma tell you rn, but set up at least 6 storage boxes near their area, you’re gonna need them especially longterm. I keep mine pn wonder so they can collect stuff I drop and stuff the owls drop whenever they want plus it’s nice to watch them roam, JUST KEE THEM ON A LEASH OR IN AN ENCLOSURE. Also level does not matter for these guys, the crafting skill does and from what I’ve seen it always starts at around 135ish, all you need is 160% for the best loot. You can go over but tbh level weight/health or melee too because these guys are actually great for harvesting a ton of resources if you have an extra dino to lugg the cargo. Hope this helps anyone unsure about getting one of these guys, greenhouse ceiling are best, also gachas have pretty good crystal gathering so getting one helps you get more.
For easy element dust put a male a female gacha (not neutered or spayed) next to each other and a snow owl in front of each gacha and only have them make element dust. Forcefeed owls stimmberrys to have them regurgitate more owl pellets. Works on official and single player. Got the idea from Syntac but he used one snow owl and didn't have the gachas make certain items.
