Quick Inventory Saves Time:
---------------------------
You can conveniently re-craft a quick key item that breaks by pressing the quick inventory
key, provided you possess the required materials. Hold down the quick key for a moment and
you'll see a list of the items needed, as well as your current stock. If you would prefer,
of course, you can move the item into your regular inventory and repair it. That option is
cheaper.
Collecting items:
-----------------
Destroy a storage box and the items it contains will drop in a bundle that you can collect.
Replacing items:
----------------
After an item breaks, you can re-craft it quickly if you already have the necessary
ingredients. Hold [Quick Inventory] to see the required items and their availability in your
inventory. Note: This will be more expensive than the normal method of moving the item into
your regular inventory before repairing.
Beginner Tips:
--------------
* If you are just beginning an adventure in ARK: Survival Evolved, keep the following
tips in mind to get started on the right foot.
* Pay attention to the order in which you place things. For example, you should place a
foundation before you place a ramp. Try to do it the other way around and you'll learn
that it's not possible.
* If you destroy a storage box, its contents will drop in a bundle that you can take
with you.
* Be sure to use the right tools, depending on what you want to achieve. For instance,
you can use a hatchet on a tree if you're looking for wood, or a pickaxe if your goal
is more thatch. If you're demolishing stone, a hatchet produces that resource.
A pickaxe will increase your flint reserves.
* You can more easily tame a dinosaur if you let it get really hungry, since it will
appreciate the food you provide a lot more on an empty stomach.
* If you want to ride a dinosaur, keep in mind that its weight, your weight, and the
weight of any materials all work against its movement. If everything together weighs
too much, the dinosaur might not be able to go anywhere.
