Thankfully, there is a way for you to get tons of water easily using one simple trick and by using it, you can all but say goodbye to water shortages.

So in this guide, we're going to show you exactly how to get what is essentially an unlimited water supply in ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth. So get your canteens ready and let's dive right in.

ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth Unlimited Water Trick - How To Get Water Easily and Quickly

On the Scorched Earth map, where rainfall is absent, securing a reliable water source becomes imperative. Fortunately, the game offers a practical solution through the use of Metal Water Reservoirs. For those unfamiliar with crafting these, here are the required resources after unlocking the Engram:

  • 75 × Metal Ingot or Scrap Metal Ingot
  • 25 × Cementing Paste or Achatina Paste

Once you've obtained the blueprint, you can deploy the Metal Water Reservoirs and stack them for efficient storage. These reservoirs commence water collection naturally through condensation from the surrounding air and will do so even during heat and superheat storms. While this process seems straightforward, it can be time-consuming. Here's where our water trick proves invaluable.

The best way to accumulate water in these tanks quickly is to move out of render range of them, then return to find you have much more water than if you waited near them. (Picture: Shane / Studio Wildcard)

Simply by moving out of the render range of the water tanks—essentially ensuring they're no longer visible on your screen—you can expedite water collection significantly. This method proves beneficial for players needing a continuous water supply while away from their base, for purposes such as irrigating crops or feeding base-bound dinos.

Of course, you can access the water directly from these tanks at any time using a Water tap. However, be mindful that the tap depletes the reservoirs swiftly. But for a larger base, you can set up a wall of these tanks that are stacked on top of one another and create an almost infinite supply of water, which is invaluable when surviving the heat and dry climate of Scorched Earth.

Overall, this technique stands as the most efficient means to generate unlimited water from seemingly nothing, serving as the primary water source for your entire Scorched Earth base. So, next time you log into Scorched Earth, give this trick a try and ensure your water supply remains consistently full.
