How to Make Gas in Ark: Tips and Tricks

Are you having trouble making gas in Ark? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! With so many resources to gather and items to craft, it can be overwhelming to figure out how to produce gas efficiently. Luckily, there are some simple steps you can take to get your gas production up and running.

First things first, you need to locate some oil. This is the key ingredient required to make gas in Ark. Oil can be found in several locations such as underwater caves, ocean floors and mountainous terrain. Once you have located some oil, you will need to use a “tool” in your inventory to harvest it. You can do this with either a stone pickaxe, a metal pickaxe, or a mining drill. The higher-quality the tool, the more oil you will be able to gather from each source.

Materials Needed to Make Gas in Ark

Making gas in Ark may appear daunting at first, but with the right materials and a bit of know-how, you will be able to easily craft gas in no time! Here are the materials that you will need to get started:

1. Hydrogen
2. Oxygen
3. Oil
4. Gasoline
5. Fabricator
6. Gasoline can
7. Pipes
8. Junctions
9. Taps
10. A Mek or Gasoline Generator

Step-by-Step Process of Making Gas in Ark

Now that you have all of the necessary materials, it is time to start crafting! Follow these steps to make gas in Ark:

Step 1: Gather Resources

Before starting, ensure that you have enough of all the necessary materials. This process will require you to collect hydrogen, oil, and gasoline. If you are finding it challenging to collect these resources, you can place oil pumps on top of oil deposits or use a high-level Ankylosaurus to harvest plants that provide gasoline.

Step 2: Build a Fabricator

Once you have gathered all necessary resources, build a Fabricator using the necessary number of resources and make sure that you have enough gasoline to power it.

Step 3: Create Pipelines

The next step is to create pipelines from your generator to your gasoline storage unit. Depending on how far apart these units are from each other, you may need to create different junctions and taps.

Step 4: Place the Gasoline Can into the Fabricator

After creating pipelines, you should now place a gasoline can into the Fabricator. This should be done by selecting the Fabricator from your inventory and then placing the gasoline can in the correct slot, usually designated as a “Fuel” slot.

Step 5: Create Gasoline

Once the gasoline can has been placed, select “Create Gasoline” from the Fabricator’s menu. This will start the process of converting the gasoline can into gasoline, from which you can make gas.

Step 6: Create Oxygen Bottles

Before proceeding to the next step, create oxygen bottles for yourself and any other team members who plan to help you make gas.

Step 7: Harvest Hydrogen

The next step is to harvest hydrogen by using a Mek or by collecting a large number of air sacs. If you choose to use air sacs, you can fill the oxygen bottles with oxygen and then use them to collect hydrogen. When using a Mek, ensure that you have a gas collector attachment.

Step 8: Create Gas

After harvesting hydrogen, you should use the Fabricator to convert it into gas. Place the hydrogen in the correct slot, usually designated as a “Resource” slot, and then select “Create Gas” from the Fabricator menu to start the conversion.

Step 9: Store Gas in Storage Unit

Once your gas has been created, it should automatically flow through the pipes and into your gasoline storage unit.

Step 10: Power Your Gasoline Generator or Mek

Finally, power your gasoline generator or Mek with the gas that you have created to keep it active. Without power, your generator or Mek will not be able to create additional materials, and you will be unable to make more gas.

Conclusion

With the right materials and some patience, you can easily make gas in Ark. This process requires a bit of effort, but once you have established a good system, you should be able to create a steady stream of gas with ease. Just remember to harvest resources regularly and keep an eye on your storage levels to prevent running out of materials. Trust us- with a bit of practice, you’ll be crafting gasoline in no time!

Materials needed to make Gas in Ark

To make gas in Ark, you’ll need several materials. Each of these materials serves a crucial role in the gas-making process. They include:

1. Gasoline/Tek Generator – Gasoline (or a Tek Generator) is essential to produce gas in Ark. Depending on the type of generator you have, you will either need Gasoline or Element Dust to complete the process.

2. Oil Pump – An oil pump is required to extract oil from the ground. Oil pumps are commonly found in various areas of the Ark, including the Redwood Forest and the Frozen Tundra.

3. Gasoline Refining Forge – This specialized forge separates raw oil into gasoline and other substances. You can craft a Gasoline Refining Forge by collecting the necessary materials.

4. Oil Jug – Oil jugs can be used to transport crude oil from one point to another.

5. Gas Tank – Gas tanks are used to store gasoline before it is used. These tanks come in various sizes, and their capacity depends on how many resources you have.

6. Flint and Steel – To start the refining process with a Gasoline Refining Forge, you will need flint and steel.

7. Waterskin or Canteen – Water is a critical component of the refining process. You need to have either a waterskin or a canteen on hand to collect water.

8. Fuel – A fuel is required to run the gasoline or tek generator, which produces gas. You can use gasoline, element dust, or element to power up the generator.

9. Electricity – If you’re using a tek generator, you need electricity to run it. You can generate electricity using a Tek Generator powering up using an element.

10. Pipe or Junction – Pipes or junctions are used to connect the gasoline refining forge, oil pump, and gas tank. They are essential materials to ensure efficient gas production in Ark.

With this range of materials, you’re ready to begin manufacturing gas in Ark. However, it’s essential to be mindful of the best locations to find and extract oil. Remember, gasoline is made by refining oil – the more oil you have, the more gasoline you can refine. Therefore, you must know the best locations to find oil to improve your gas production.

How to Collect and Store Resources for Gas Production

1. Gathering Raw Materials

The most important resources needed for gas production in Ark are oil, hide, and rock. Oil can be found in underwater caves or harvested from larger creatures such as Mosasaurus and plesiosaurs. Hide can be obtained by killing creatures such as mammoths, theryzinos, and diplos. Rocks can be collected from the ground or by mining metal, obsidian, or crystal nodes.

It’s important to note that some creatures drop oil in small amounts, so it’s wise to keep a look out for creatures like Trilobite, Ammonite, and eurypterids while traversing near water bodies.

2. Building an Industrial Forge

Crafting a large enough forge is a must-have requirement to start producing gas in Ark. An Industrial forge is the most reliable and convenient option for gas production. Building an Industrial forge requires a lot of resources and you will need to level up your character and gather a lot of materials. Some of the required materials include:

– 240 metal ingots
– 160 cementing paste
– 600 oil
– 200 hide

Once the required resources are gathered, you can craft an Industrial forge from your character’s inventory using the blueprint.

3. Producing Gasoline

The next step after building an Industrial forge is producing gasoline. Gasoline is produced from oil and can be crafted in the Industrial forge. One unit of oil produces three units of gasoline in the Industrial forge. In other words, 300 oil makes 900 gasoline.

4. Storing Gasoline

Once the gasoline is produced, it needs to be stored safely to avoid any wastage or accidents. For this, you need a Fabricator, which can be crafted from the blueprint using 100 metal ingots, 40 crystal, and 20 black pearls.

The Fabricator has a storage option, the “Bulk Storage”, which can store thousands of units of gasoline safely.

5. Using Gasoline in Ark

Gasoline is used for powering many advanced machines in Ark like:

– Chainsaw
– Motorboat
– Industrial grinder
– Fabricator
– Chemistry bench
– Industrial cooker

In addition, gasoline can be used as fuel to power generators, which is useful for powering your bases or turrets.

In conclusion, producing gas in Ark is a crucial step towards gaining access to advanced machines and technology. By gathering raw materials, building an Industrial forge, producing gasoline, storing gasoline safely and using gasoline for various advanced machines can de done successfully.
