Best place on The Island (For Resources)
What is the best location on Ark(The Island) for resources? A location where I'm able to obtain all resources pretty easily, maybe even have a nice little water area so I'm able to keep all my fishy dinos ^^

I advise the river at 50/50 up on the ridge near te base of the mountain.

you still hav to grab pearls, oil, and similar items from the far north, but it's at least nearer this way. Metal is easy, as well.

At 58,25ish there's a nice plateau overlooking the volcano and the redwoods. It's pretty central to the map so offers decent travel time to most areas. It's close to the volcano and redwood mountains for metal, close to the snow biome for oil, and the central cave is just up the river to the east.

Only thing it's lacking is ocean access, but there's a quick land route to the west that leads to the bay at 60,15 that could be turned into a water pen, or alternatively a short run south down the river gets you to 82,28, where you can block off the entire inlet to store water dinos.

Not the icebergs because mesh issues with squids.

one area i find to be a fairly good place with a moderate access to a good wealth of resources is the hidden lake because from there theres a nearby mountain for metal, a lot of rocks, easy way to the ocean etc

Well, the beach south of the artic zone on the west of the map is nice.
(note that the northernmost section of the beach uses the mountain spawn table, so build south of that).
Easy access to pearls, oil, crystal... metal you either have to go up the hill (3veins) just before the snow, or south to the river with a ton of river rocks.
(not a good place for metal, but easiest pearls/above ground oil, even if you don't have hide armor)


The northeast mountain has lots of metal. Crystal and rare flowers on top, obsidian on half of it. Not really close to any water though.
