What is a jug bug used for?jug bug utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Dododex users say:
Jug Bugs provide valuable survival resources: blue variants can be harvested for water, while red or pink variants provide oil, with their supplies replenishing over time. They also yield experience, oil, and cementing paste when killed, and can be trapped near a base for a renewable source of water or oil.
Basically just murder them for your own survival. Their purpose is just to be murdered for xp and oil. I recommend killing the quickly so you don’t feel bad.
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
I noticed no one mentioned instead of forcetame you can summon a wild one into an already built building and it will be a trapped wild water or oil jug bug. You won't have to feed it and can constantly harvest water or oil. Whichever one you summon!
