Veteran tip - build 10 forges and 10 mortar pestles, use them to craft the ingots and sparkpowder until you can upgrade to an indust forge and chem bench which are both hugely faster and more efficient. It's very worth the time to farm up the stuff to make those starter crafting stations. Also, in Ab your fastest metal farming (flint and stone too) comes from a high level anky or doed followed by a pack of 5 or 6 ravagers with all points in weight and one megalo for protection. Just have the ravagers follow the harvest dino and as it fills you use inventory search bar to drop one bag with all the metal or stone or flint, ride a ravager to the dropped bag, dismount and pick it up and pop it in ravager. weight doesn't matter for transferring when you don't have to walk, and one bag is easier than bag spam. ravagers are awesome cargo haulers. keep up the great work, you've sure as hell got some crazy streamer luck with that drake egg!!!
^This, please! It's -so- worth it getting indy forge. And it doesn't require as big of a time investment as u might be thinkin - if done smart, like suggested above.
Remember to saddle any dinos you intend to have fight. Even the 25 armor saddle is a 50% damage reduction. Effectively turning 10k hp into 20k hp. Mate boost gives a further 33% incoming damage reduction and 33% damage buff.
@BrianMenard. Just some advise from a Ark player since it came out.. Don't level anky in weight.. You can slot cap it with anything and use the pickup and throw method. Meaning you have 1 anky throw it to metal nodes, get off, hit rocks. get on crab throw it to next rocks..you can get 300 slots but cant walk with the crab but can throw the anky which gets no damage cause noone on it. Sure crab cant walk but you can throw anky far and jump after it till back to base.. Same applys to crab weight not needed..
Ark building can be a real thing, my brother built a legit castle like 10 stories tall with 40+ rooms, grand banquet hall, armories, stables etc. My builds are typically a version of a box with a central open area for dinos to come in one side, drop off resources, and walk out the other through behemoth gates, and the flyers and farm on the roof. I had quite a reputation for my Boxes for a time! Efficiency is easier than artistry with building here.
I think the majority of your fans/supporters/subs watch you for YOU. I don’t think it matters to them if you farm the whole 4 hours or explore or tame or whatever. Hell if anything do some Q&A or something while you farm, engage with the chat. OR you should just up the harvesting rates cause I feel like you should explore the game in its entirety, unlock all things, try all things atleast once. But don’t NOT farm for expensive things just cause you believe nobody will watch lol. We’re here for you g. 🔥 keep rockin tho love the content.
folk that watch you're live streams will be disappointed if they missed two hours of you just harvesting. Enjoying you're streams. As nameless wrote below, harvesting is the perfect Q&A time. some may simply want to know, you know, they are watching you. Harvesting is perfect for that as well, no matter the question. Besides the small lizard dino, killing Alphas and running caves is the way a lot of players level up a given dino.
You don't need to waste so much time and resources building A.C.s to hatch the RD egg. You simply need to find a good level Dimetrodon. It's a very underrated Dino that incubates eggs for you. Mele damage is what you wanna level up to increase the incubation skill. Trust me, you don't need A.C.s. Can be found in blue zone
I rather watch you harvest for 4 hours then complaining for 4 hours saying people won't wanna watch you do it .... thats bs man people sat there and watched you play gwent in the Witcher 3 they could watch you harvest for 4 hours... harvesting was way more entertaining then that game in Witcher lol plus we will watch you do anything brian Menard we love ya
Well he only puts upgrades into weight besides carnivores so you could watch him gather for an hour and he wouldn't go overweight. It's his number 1 concern after all. Can't be makeing 2 trips instead of 1.
@BrianMenard other thing I watch that's bad is you can build things as you farm. walls, foundations and such way way less than the sum of thier parts. Craft things you'll need as you farm.. Do not be afraid to get off anky which can farm trees for wood ,thatch, stone and flint in them.. just throw to resource get off crab and swing with anky. auto harvest not really needed..
PVE reason to build with metal = alphas. They chew right through stone or wood, they can't go destroy metal building pieces. Metal allows you to build in very dangerous areas and be safe.
You only need 13-15 ACs put one Vertical cable directly on the geny and the outlet on top. The boss of this map requires a certain strategy you need a couple sets of armor a shotgun with 250% damage minimum and 300 rounds a Drake and an army of Megs. The strategy is leave the army next to the boss while you circle the arena on your Drake shooting the weak spots after you get them all he becomes vulnerable send in the army and shoot him and repeat good luck man. Make sure to shoot the fireballs they will home in on you and deal massive damage to your character even when mounted.
if u just have metal in the anky an physically farm with it yourself, they can be completely full of weight but the karkinos can still throw them just as far as if they weigh nothing! so just mount the anky each time ur in a metal cluster and just throw it with your crab back and forth. difficult to understand at first, but you can get like 100k metal in 20min doing it this way if anyone have a better way to explain it to him pls do lol
Lol I'll catch a live stream one of these days... Either way Brian, love the content, especially the ARK stuff.... only one criticism FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THE ALL STOP WHISTLE 😅, just kidding man, you're doing a great job , keep up the good work

Brian- out of curiosity, why don’t you set your light pets to auto turn on when at full charge? It’s right in the setting wheel
No RED ZONE goes deeper lol you just scratched the beginning of it!

U shoud be using a zipline and ravager or motor attachment then wing suit away climbing pick up the metal skeleton then wing suit to the green zone

Frfr he said that and I was like whattttt people watch people eat and fart so idk he just don’t wanna do it
I'll even pause his videos why I'm changing headphones. I don't miss a stifle second

Metal pipes lol I go to gen 2 to get those from the drops and put them in grinder lol😅to get metal and paste
DAng most beautifull + letal map in the game. glad to see u made it this far =D

Where can i find the play list i dont see it on you page?
Using a sickle would help gather fiber faster
HI BRIAN I’m unable to watch your GTA 4 stream it says the user has not made this video available in your country ????

Great stream!

Funny as hell egg steal.

Make sure to shoot the fireballs they will home in on you and deal massive damage to your character even when mounted.
when you put down the acs dont put the egg on top or he will be stuck in the genarators and youll have to break them
Going all the way to blue zone lol bro you can easy go to the bottom of the Surface cave and you find loads of metal and a lot closer to you
if u just have metal in the anky an physically farm with it yourself, they can be completely full of weight but the karkinos can still throw them just as far as if they weigh nothing!
so just mount the anky each time ur in a metal cluster and just throw it with your crab back and forth. difficult to understand at first, but you can get like 100k metal in 20min doing it this way
if anyone have a better way to explain it to him pls do lol
Is it driving anyone else nuts listening to him, say there is no fiber as he runs right past pants he could harvest
Lol I'll catch a live stream one of these days... Either way Brian, love the content, especially the ARK stuff.... only one criticism FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THE ALL STOP WHISTLE 😅, just kidding man, you're doing a great job , keep up the good work
1 stone forge will make 150 ingots in 50 mins
Lol whoever said A.C.s are going to be the easiest way to hatch the egg has NO idea what their talking about...
