Working on the island in ARK: Survival Ascended will take its toll on you eventually. That’s why you need all of the performance enhancers (ethically sourced) the light touches in order to stay on top of your island survival game.

One method that will help you get your stats up is through the creation of recipes. Things might start to sound confusing from all of the other items you can craft but don’t worry, recipes are what you need if you want to bump up your health, stamina, and other important stats. Get started with making your own recipes with the guide below today!

How To Make Recipes

What you’ll need in order to start making your own recipes is a cooking pot, a few notes, and some of the resources necessary for crafting. In order to make a note, you’re going to need thatch and fiber.

Gather a decent amount of those and you can start making a recipe. Start by disabling auto-craft on your crafting menu when you interact with a campfire.

The next screen you’ll see will be divided into three categories. What you’ll see will include your inventory, the contents of the cooking pot, and create recipe.

The last panel on the right is for people who are ready to make a decision.

Every usable item that can be turned into something edible will be placed in your inventory. Drag any of the items you want into the cooking pot itself to begin crafting.

Once you’re satisfied with what’s in the pot, you can move on to finalizing your recipe.

On the last panel, you can make adjustments like changing the color of your recipe. This only affects the thumbnail preview, so put together a few colors that don’t match if you want. It might help with keeping players away from your stash!

You can add in more information like the name of your recipe and a short description. Click on “Make Recipe” when you’re happy with the changes you’ve made, and it will consume the note you have.

Here we have Alexis, he's been gaming ever since the second Famicom came out. Which is probably the reason why he goes back to platformers every now and then. Somewhere down the line he started getting more and more fascinated about looking at maps change colors for three to eight hours straight. If he's not out strategizing and beating the life out of his space bar in that order there's a good chance you can find him playing an FPS or talking someone's ear out about how game balance gets in the way of realism. You can tell that he really likes getting the full experience of whatever he gets his hands on.
