When I was still a noob on scorched, I was dying left right and centre- I got enough for a thatch foundation, placed it, died. Another thatch foundation, placed it died. You get the idea. Now, once I had my hut I also had enough xp to get a spear, so I did and I hunted a water jug bug, but dragged it into my house and shut the door. I examined it, and saw that I could drink water from it. I survived! I built up my hut more, and when that one ran out, I harvested the corpse and brought another dead one inside. I survived like this until finally I tamed a Morrellatops, and we hiked back and forth from a nearby lake I discovered while chasing my new friend. That is how I survived- use these guys, they’re lifesavers. Literally.

Also, just me or when I’m low level mainly oil ones spawn but when I’m high level only water ones spawn??? Maybe they just hate me

Available in the volcano biome of genesis

If you do kill these creatures, if they're the oil type, you can go into their inventory to collect 16 oil, then hold a button for more options to collect 16 more oil. Basically just double the oil.

One of the weakest yet most valuable thing you’ll come across whilst exploring Scorched earth. Look for ones with a blue abdomen if in search of water and red ones if advanced and searching for oil. Usually found everywhere except up in the mountains were most of the dangerous carnivores live. Quite common to find throughout Scorched earth but easily startled if accessed.

I wish but it’s only force tame

I don’t think you can tame these or what they eat, but you go into creative and forcetame one. It’s funny. Like a flying morrelatops that’s a fly that’s small.

Jug bugs, like literally all other ark creatures, can be tamed with forcetame. Only way to get one as a pet.

You actually can’t tame it sorry about the note that said to tame it and bam water, 😥😓

Just remember, red is oil, and blue is water. -Amory

Bola one then build a wood house around it boom now you have infinite water and oil

You should be able to take this, and just have a billion flying water bottles

So these bugs are smaller then you can fit through a 1 by 1 gap but can't fit through a behemoth gate 😕😕

If you have a chainsaw and use it on these guys you can get some serious Chitin

They are everywhere on scorched earth XD

If you force tame a jug bug make sure to have a trough full of berries near it in a small to medium sized hut with a single door.the berries help keep it alive

Useful until you find and make a base by a Water Vein

They spawn almost everywhere on scorched earth. There’s the water jug bug and the oil jug bug. If you want to harvest oil or drink water from these bugs, go up behind them and press triangle (PlayStation). Easy source of chitin too!

Thirst is the reason from scorched earth why I kill every oil jug bug. The water ones are safe though

They are indeed on fjordur. Balheimer.

Just go ahead do forcetame I wish you could add sand to last item slot or literally anything and press A on computer Trian.he on Ps but nope no way only forcetame
