How To Craft the TEK Replicator in ARK Survival Ascended

The TEK Replicator is officially designated as the ultimate end-game crafting station for producing Tek Tier items and equipment. Think of it as the conclusive evolution of a Smithy or Fabricator, not only enabling the crafting of TEK items but also facilitating the production of regular items approximately 12 times faster than other conventional crafting stations.

To create a TEK Replicator, you'll need specific resources, but if you're in the end game, your proficiency in resource gathering should be substantial. The crafting requirements for the TEK Replicator in ARK Survival Ascended include:

• 100 × Element
• 5000 × Metal Ingot or Scrap Metal Ingot
• 600 × Crystal or Primal Crystal
• 150 × Black Pearl
• 800 × Polymer, Organic Polymer, or Corrupted Nodule

Two crucial details to note are that Element is essential for crafting this machine, and it can only be crafted using an Obelisk, a Fabricator, or a Supply Crate. If you haven't acquired Element or utilized an Obelisk yet, refer to our guides on Element acquisition and Obelisks for more information.
