Metal locations on The Island

The accepted ASA dataset records 1,772 Metal resource actors inside the displayed map, grouped into 1,682 map formations. Compare the latitude totals and real GPS samples below, or open the atlas with only Metal selected.

Use the spread GPS samples to compare locations across the map, then inspect elevation before choosing a farming path. The resource count records placed actors; it does not predict how much Metal a tool or tame will harvest.

Where to start looking

These are derived latitude thirds of the displayed map, not official biomes.

Northern third (0–33.33 latitude)
199 resource actors
Central third (33.33–66.67 latitude)
678 resource actors
Southern third (66.67–100 latitude)
895 resource actors

Metal GPS samples

A spread sample of real actor coordinates, anchored on published members of map formations. GPS is displayed to two decimals; the map opens around the original unrounded coordinate.

Confidence, conditions and access

These locations come from accepted official ASA DevKit resource actors. Several actors can occupy one formation; the atlas groups them on a 0.05-GPS grid. Neither count predicts harvested units. Server changes, structures and respawn rules can affect what is present when you arrive. Elevation does not identify a surface, cave entrance or underwater route.

Check terrain and hazards in the atlas before travelling. The map can help inspect nearby features and save your own path; it does not verify a safe or optimized farming route.

This page covers ARK: Survival Ascended. ASE players should use the separate ARK: Survival Evolved community map; this pilot does not verify the ASA coordinates for ASE.
