It has been on the ‘A little further out‘ list of the developers of ARK: Survival Evolved for a while: dropped item meshes. As the weeks are progressing, more and more meshes are created. Since a lot of them are already finished, we wanted to show them to you in a little preview. The item meshes can all be found in the devkit, but for those that simply like pictures, check them out below:

Ammo

From left to right (and bottom to top): tranq arrows (green), stone arrow, C4 ammo, rifle ammo, pistol ammo, metal arrows, shotgun shells, simple bullets, tranq dart, sniper bullets and rocket ammo.

Basic resources

From left to right (front row): obsidian, thatch, fiber and flint

Clothing

From left to right: cloth armor, chitin armor, hide armor, flak armor and scuba gear

Structures

Currently the drops for structures are just depending on their materials. Maybe we will get specific drops for each structure, but for now this is already pretty awesome. Again, from left to right (and bottom to top): thatch structures, metal structures, wood structures and stone structures.

Dodo Comparison

And to give you all a better understanding of how big the drops will be approximately, here is a picture of a dodo next to some dropped items. The biggest drops at this point are the arrows (in length) and the oil barrel (in height).

We hope that you enjoy these previews. When we come across other items, dinos or anything useful in the development kit, we will be sure to post it! So stay tuned.
