Game overview
What to expect from ARK: Survival Evolved
Build a base and maintain supplies.
Resources are needed for tools, construction and further development, and hunger, thirst and environmental conditions make it necessary to prepare for the invasion in advance.
Dinosaurs can be tame and bred.
The pets help move, extract resources and fight, and their feeding and breeding require time and supplies.
Equipment opens up new opportunities
New technologies and materials allow for the transition to more complex construction and dangerous expeditions, and much of the progress is related to the re-collection of resources.
