How To Get Tree Sap In ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth

In ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth, resource gathering remains as crucial as it was on The Island. However, due to the harsher conditions of Scorched Earth, finding resources can prove to be more challenging. One particular resource that may present difficulties in harvesting is Tree Sap, commonly known as Sap, which holds significant utility in the late game.

Fortunately, you won't need to struggle to locate sap on your own, as we've got you covered with this guide. Below, we'll detail precisely how to gather Sap and discuss its various applications in ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth.

How To Farm Tree Sap In ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth

Tree sap, or just sap, is a resource that can be harvested from specific trees in Scorched Earth for various uses (more on that later). To find them, you'll want to look for a specific tree in the game as they only spawn inside of them, and to extract it, you'll need to cut the tree down.

The trees you're looking for are called "Joshua trees" and are characterized by their furry-looking bark and large pineapple-looking fruits that bud at the ends of their stems. Now, while you can use a pickaxe or axe to harvest sap from the trees, the yield won't be very high.

The best way to harvest sap from the trees in higher numbers will be to use a chainsaw or a Moschops. The Moschops can be found very sparsely on Scorched Earth, so we recommend crafting a chainsaw to do the job, if you need some help with that, be sure to check out our chainsaw crafting guide here.

Tree Sap Uses in Scorched Earth

Now that you know how to harvest sap in large quantities from the Joshua trees, you'll need to know what they are used for. Sap is used to craft specific items in the game, and especially in the late game, these items will be extremely useful (such as the Sweet Vegetable Cake and Superior Kibble).

Below are all the items that you can craft using sap in Scorched Earth:

• Absorbent Substrate
• Camera
• Mushroom Brew
• Superior Kibble
• Sweet Vegetable Cake

The absorbent substrate is used to craft unique items such as the Gas Mask and Night Vision Goggles, and the Camera allows you to take pictures of your surroundings. Mushroom brew is used to protect your tames from radiation, Kibble is used for faster taming, and finally, Sweet Vegetable Cake is used to restore your herbivore dinos to full health at a rapid rate.

Ultimately, with all these uses, the sap is a vital ingredient to get your hands on, and now that you know exactly how to get it and use it, you'll be much better off in terms of surviving Scorched Earth.
