Congealed Gas Ball — Detailed Guide
A crafting resource drawn from gas
Congealed Gas Ball is a crafting resource in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and a different item from 
Condensed Gas. In the game's words: "Used for crafting, can be found within Gas Veins." The ball first appeared with Aberration, and the ARK Wiki also places it on Fjordur, Crystal Isles, Extinction, Genesis: Part 2, Valguero and Genesis: Part 1.
Collecting and refining gas balls
Gas Collector: set one on a 
Gas Vein and it extracts the balls over time.- Eruptions: after a vein erupts, balls spawn close to it and can be picked up.
- Forging: on Extinction and Genesis: Part 2, the ball is made by heating 1 Condensed Gas inside a
Refining Forge. The wiki also lists the 
Industrial Forge and the 
Magmasaur for crafting it, and our records give 5 seconds per craft. - Loot: 50 crate types can contain it, for example the Aberration Purple, Red and Yellow crates and their bonus versions.
Recipes that use it
Our records count 14 recipes in ASE and 5 in ASA. Recipes found in both games include 
Tracer Rounds (1 ball), 
Mushroom Brew (3), 
Element Ore (1) and 
Gasoline (Gas-Crafted). ASE also lists 
Element at 50, and ASA lists 
Element (Chunk) at 50. The other ASE recipes include:
Tek Railgun: 525
Charge Lantern: 400
Charge Battery: 20
Pliers: 12- Hazard Suit pieces, from 15 for the
Hazard Suit Boots and 
Hazard Suit Gloves up to 45 for the 
Hazard Suit Shirt
Gasoline (Gas-Crafted) is an option at the 
Chemistry Bench that takes 20 Congealed Gas Balls plus 20 
Green Gem, available once you have learned the Gas Collector engram. The bench shows a Condensed Gas icon for it, but what comes out is ordinary 
Gasoline.
Weight and stacking
Each ball weighs 0.1 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack comes to 10.
