How to farm Flint Pearls in ARK Scorched Earth Ascended
Silica Beads became an essential resource for crafting Electronics later in my playthrough. With enough Electronics in my inventory, I was able to make Refrigerators, C4 Chargers, GPS and all sorts of other high tech equipment.

To farm Silica Pearls, I used mounts specialized in gathering them in bulk, and the best animals for the job are Otters, Direwolves and the Angofish. Unfortunately, you will have a hard time finding these animals on the Scorched Earth, as they prefer cooler and less extreme climate types.
If you can't find any of these animals, you can spawn them by enabling them Console Access in the Options menu and entering these commands in the Console Command menu:
- admincheat GMS call “Direwolf_Character_BP_C” (animal level)
- admincheat GMS call “Angler_Character_BP_C” 150 (animal level)
- admincheat GMS call “Otter_Character_BP_C” 150 (animal level)
If you like to play without cheating, I'll give you a hint: explore the river banks and search Green Clams which contain Silica Pearls. Approach a clam and press the Harvest button to collect the resource. If you have a Whip on hand, use it to collect loads of pearls at once!
