ARK Survival Ascended Morellatops New Secret Ability Explained | Scorched Earth

In ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth, while numerous new dinosaurs have been introduced, the original ones from previous DLC iterations have also undergone adjustments to maintain their relevance in the current meta. 

Among these, the Morellatops stands out with a newly added secret ability, enhancing its appeal and utility. So in this guide, we'll delve into this newfound capability of the Morellatops and its functionality within ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth.

ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth Morellatops New Secret Ability Explained

Upon a cursory examination, it's apparent that the Morellatops has undergone minimal alterations since its inception in Scorched Earth within ARK Survival Evolved. Its damage output, move set, and appearance have remained largely unchanged. However, a relatively overlooked enhancement in the current Scorched Earth lies concealed within its ability wheel: the newfound ability to store and utilize water for crop irrigation and functioning as a mobile water reservoir.

Presently, the Morellatops can be stationed near water bodies and naturally absorb water (though it can passively build up water as well), retaining a significant volume within its body, with the potential for further expansion by augmenting its Water Stat through leveling. Through its radio menu interface, users are granted the option to replenish water tanks and automate crop irrigation.

Although still contingent on the presence of a fertilizer bed and seeds, this feature mitigates the necessity for a comprehensive water irrigation infrastructure, particularly during the initial stages of gameplay. This allows novice players to irrigate crops and foster the growth of crops and even special plants like Plant Species Y, which serve as natural deterrents.

Furthermore, its mobility renders it capable of traversing the base to irrigate diverse crop and plant sections. This negates the need for immediate resource gathering, such as scavenging for metal, to construct irrigation systems upon establishing a base. It can serve as an irrigation solution during the early stages of base construction, with the prospect of implementing proper water tank irrigation systems later instead of being an immediate need.

In summary, the Morellatops' discreet water storage and irrigation abilities are an invaluable support to base builders, ensuring a dependable water supply within the confines of the base from the start. For ardent base constructors, this feature holds the potential to be a veritable game-changer, guaranteeing a constant water supply within their base.
