In ARK: Survival Evolved, there are two new creatures. A new dino and a dung beetle…
How to Turn Dung into Black Gold
A new update was announced for the survival hit ARK, which has enriched the game world with two new species. While the Dimetrodon may not be particularly surprising, the dung beetle can be described as “strange”.
The dinosaurs in ARK: Survival Evolved are not exactly known for their cleanliness. How useful would it be to have a meaningful use for all the dung they produce? This is exactly the concept behind the introduction of dung beetles. They feed on dinosaur dung and convert it into valuable oil that can be used either as fuel for generators or as fertilizer.
The Dimetrodon has a relatively large “sail” on its back. This is more than just a pretty accessory, as players can use it to either protect themselves from the sun’s heat or warm up in the cold. This is basically the perfect air conditioning of ARK.
For those who can’t relate to the new creatures and would rather “get a real buzz” virtually, they will surely enjoy the latest items in the game. Resourceful craftsmen can build beer mugs, in which the corresponding drink is stored. This gives different buffs – but with excessive consumption, it also leads to a heavy hangover.
