Flint, Metals, and Rocks

First off, we’ll begin with the flint, metals, and rocks. These items are used to craft weapons, poisons, cook food, etc. Meaning they help craft the early game items.

Flint, Metals, and Rocks can be found at these locations in abundance.

To find the Flint, Metals, and Rocks, you’ll have to travel to the North region. There, in the middle of the map, you’ll find Metal Mountain Peak at 21.7 and 45.7 latitudes and longitude.

Next up is the Volcanic Carter at 23.3 and 59.8 Latitude and Longitude.

For the final pile of Metal and other such resources, you’ll have to cross the ocean and get to the Desert Area. This area is intended for the late-game players so you don’t have to worry if you’re still in the early game.

Crystals

Up next, we have the Crystals, which are advanced resources as they help make advanced cooling elements. These cooling elements include air conditioners and refrigerators. Air Conditioners help survive in warmer climates whereas the refrigerator helps store food for a long time.

The second place to mine these crystals is at the Summit of Northern Mountain at latitude 20.2 and longitude 50.6. 

The final reservoir for crystals is located at latitude 20.8 and longitude 67.5. The location is known as the Peak of the Volcano.

Polymer

Polymer is the next resource on the list that we will harvest at the Lost Island map in Ark Survival Evolved. There are two types of polymer in the game. We won’t focus on the other one and look out for the Organic Polymer. You can find it by killing oversized insects like the mantis. After that, use Chainsaw or Pet Moschops to harvest the organic polymer. You can also use wyvern’s breath to kill the mantises.

To collect organic polymer, you’ll have to travel to the desert at the bottom of the map. There, harvest mantis by killing mantises.

If you still haven’t reached the desert, you can harvest it by killing penguins in the snow area.

Cement Paste

Cement Paste is a nice little resource that helps you craft different items. You can craft cement paste using other resources, or you can just harvest it. Harvesting it will save you from the hassle of finding other resources to craft it. You can find the Cement Paste in beaver dams in the rivers. Two notable places in which we came across beaver dams are following

Another resource found in Lost Island Expansion map in Ark Survival Evolved in Chintin. The Lost Island expansion map has vast amounts of Chitin in it. It is used to make armor and cement paste. You can research Chitin after unlocking engrams. To collect Chitin, you’ll have to kill creatures that grow it naturally.

Silica Pearl

Silica Pearls are the next resource that we’ll collect on the Lost Island DLC of Ark Survival Evolved. To harvest Silica Pearls, you’ll have to dive into the ocean. You’ll find them at the ocean bed, so you’ll need to have diving gear, or else the player will drown.
