Scrap Metal Ingot — Detailed Guide
Refined scrap that works like metal
Scrap Metal Ingot is a resource from the Extinction DLC, recorded for ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved. The game describes it as "Created by refining Scrap Metal in a Forge. Very similar to standard Metal Ingots." According to the ARK Wiki, it can replace 
Metal Ingot in any crafting recipe, and both kinds of ingot can be combined in the same recipe.
Smelting Scrap Metal
Each ingot comes from 1 
Scrap Metal refined in a 
Refining Forge; the wiki also names the 
Industrial Forge as a station for it. A craft takes 15 seconds and gives 1 XP. Scrap Metal can go into the forge together with regular Metal, and the wiki notes that it smelts 2.5 times as fast.
Weight, stacks and loot
An ingot weighs 1 and stacks to 300, so a full stack weighs 300. 9 crate types can contain it, for example the Extinction Orbital Medium, Hard and Legendary crates and the Astraeos Orbital crates of the same names. Our records list it on 9 maps, among them Extinction, Astraeos, The Island and Lost Colony.
