Alright, listen up, fellow Ark survivalists. We gotta talk about Tek Replicators. Specifically, the burning question that’s been keeping me (and probably you too, if you’re honest) up at night: do these bad boys even *drop* loot bags when you, uh, yeet ’em?
See, in Ark: Evolved, you could snag a Tek Replicator engram after slapping around a boss. Then, bam! You could craft it at an Obelisk or a Supply Drop. But *Ascended*? Well, that’s where things get a lil’ fucky, innit?
The thing is, the consensus seems to be a big ol’ NOPE. No drop bags. Zilch. Nada. And honestly, that’s kinda bogus. You’re telling me I can’t just demolish my Tek Replicator early and expect a shower of resources? That feels…wrong. Like, fundamentally unfair. I mean, come on, wildcard! Gimme something! A scrap of metal, a prime meat, *anything*!
Then there’s the whole Aberration situation. No obelisks, seemingly no drops. So, where the heck are we supposed to craft these things? The game claims Fabricators or Supply Drops, but people are saying they ain’t seeing it. Like, seriously, what gives? Are we expected to haul a literal ton of resources, using a Crab or Gasbag (which, let’s be real, is hilarious and terrifying in equal measure), all the way to some random drop location? It’s a logistical nightmare! And what if you’re playing single player? Like, good luck with that, fam.
And it gets even crazier! How are we even supposed to transport the darn thing in the first place? Are we supposed to wait for item transfers to be enabled so we can just…move our Tek Replicator from our old bases? This whole thing feels like a half-baked potato, to be honest.
