Stone harvesting

Stone is essential for building and crafting in ARK: Survival Ascended. It's gathered from rocks across all maps and used for stone structures, mortars, and tools.

15 ranked harvest methods
avg / target

Range shows the approximate variation around each simulated average.

Node yields assume the recorded base harvest HP (e.g. 1000 for Redwood trees, 620 for Metal nodes). In-game, trees and rocks whose harvest health scales with their size have per-instance HP that varies with the node's size, so actual yields per node will vary. The values shown represent the average.
