On The Island you can find metal rocks and metal stones in the following regions: In Aberration, the rocks that provide the most metal are the gold metal rocks or the blue-black (Luminous Region) rocks.

However, it will not be easy to get to them, since the metal stones, or stones with a large amount of metal, are often found in areas that are difficult to access, or in areas that you can only get to with the help of tamed dinosaurs. Most of the metal is obtained directly from metal stones, these look smooth and a bit golden compared to ordinary stones. In general, you can extract metal from many types of rock, but the yield varies among these. At the end of our guide, we will show you what and how you can make something from this precious resource. Of course, metal is also used to craft other items or resources, so knowing where to find it and how to farm it most effectively is important. If you play ARK: Survival Evolved, you will have noticed how often you need metal bars just for the different saddles. In our metal guide, we show you where to find metal and how to farm it most effectively. Currently, it's set at 0.1 just as an example, which means that if the override were turned on, Brontos would be, at a maximum (if they get really lucky on that first spawn check), 10% of the total spawns of a spawn area.Metal is an important resource in ARK: Survival Evolved as it is needed to craft other resources or items. If you'd like, you can set OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage to True, and then set SpawnLimitPercentage to a percent limit. Add this to your game.ini:DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Bronto,SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.25,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=false,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.1)This should make spawn areas choose Brontos only 1/4 as often as normal. Improving it is an issue we've been stuck on for a while.These new maps, using data extracted directly from game files, show the exact spawn areas and chances for each creature using the interface from our Resource Maps and Explorer Maps that peoples seemed to like. It also does not accurately represent how the spawning system works. That map, while easy to look at, is based largely on user opinion, and as such is subject to inherent error.
