Resin — Detailed Guide
Where Resin comes from
Resin is what a tamed 
Rhyniognatha makes out of 
Sap, in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description: "Hardened sticky Rhyniognatha secretion." The creature produces it on its own over time, converting one Sap into one Resin every 5 seconds; our records show the same 1 Sap to 1 Resin conversion with a craft time of 5 seconds.
How the Rhyniognatha spends it
Resin serves as the creature's ammunition. The costs are:
- 1 Resin for needles
- 3 Resin for rockets
- 5 Resin for sticky bombs
The Rhyniognatha can also spend it on raising its armor and on picking up and placing structures, at roughly 1 Resin per minute.
Farming and storage
The wiki notes that Resin is relatively hard to farm, as the Rhyniognatha is its only source and produces it slowly; keeping several Rhyniognatha speeds production up. Resin weighs 0.5 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 50. Our records list it on 4 maps: The Island, Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero.
