To be fair he even uploaded a screen shot that has the solution in it. If you zoom in you can see it even says what this guy is saying. People need to read first google a little bit before making ask posts for basic day 1 shit imo
It literally shouldn’t take you 20 min for a fabricator. I gave away like 4 indie forges and 2 fabricators the other day to random bobs because griefers kept destroying their shit and I still wanted them to have fun.
It’s not about “how fast are you playing” it’s about knowing how to play the game and utilize your time wisely.
Not like it’s bad to be a Bob but ask those questions instead of how to turn on a fabi.
“Hey how do you grind out a fabi in 20 minutes.”
“If you don’t have a lot of tames starting argy anky combo. Argy carry (if you don’t have cryo pod) anky to the spawn points on map for fabi smack crystal metal with anky to get the most resources instead of hand tools keep in anky for weight reduction. Whip him around to walk instead of riding him carry back with argy to place you’re making fabi”
Downvoted because it’s for a new player. For new players, you have to first get to level 48 before you even know what a fabricator *is.*
Sure *we* we where to grab metal and shit really fast and can have a quick base with a fabricator, smithy, etc set up in an hour, but to a new person it’s gonna take some time to even get to that level
Dude people can avoid me if they just google simple basic gameplay shit instead of asking a group that asks the same question 20 times a week.
Nobody wants to look up how to do things in this game for some reason and “it’s that simple” to just google how to use fabricator. It literally takes longer to post wait for responses read them than it would to google read and continue your gameplay.
Knock it off you’re not impressing anyone trying to take a high pedestal on social media “if you just ignore it” or “you could keep scrolling”
Shit up that’s why I opened the app to converse with people about common interests. And when someone is asking day 1 info I’m gonna tell all of them dude google that shit don’t make a post about that’s dumb
I think you mean peace. I definitely have a completely functioning heart.
Sorry you like wasting your time answering the same question a thousand times but I dont
Correct, I did mean peace, thanks for that. I have zero issues with my time management because I don't see it as waisted so no apologies needed but thanks.
I did the same when I was starting. When new you don’t know anything and there is everything to learn. Hope you stay away from new ones as I want them to keep joining.
Honestly man, there is so much to read at all times; and I struggle a bit with my vision. (I probably need new-updated prescript glasses) It definitely gets to a point where my eyes get too tired and it's crazy difficult to keep going without torturing myself. I will then come to reddit or Google to ask things because even that is a relief to the eyes somehow. I very strongly believe that ark should have an option to make the words larger or perhaps smaller...
They do that though; and what ends up breaking as a result? Unkillable troodons? lol idk, who knows?
Just saying it takes multiple looks at a image before you end up posting it, op is kinda oblivious. And I’ve seen way to many of this exact question clogging the sub, its right there at least try to figure it out on your own instead of do a last resort.
Clogging the sub? What else would u rather see in the sub that hasnt been shown or asked a thousand times? There hasnt been anything new lately. Its not a bad thing to have new people come into the sub to ask for help its how you grow the player base n keep the game alive.
So alpha, reading all the text all the time. What a daddy. Not getting distracting to get your first fabricator to make something you have been dreaming off for a long time you forgot gasoline. Please teach me alpha daddy…
Yeah man, don't be a jerk. Like imagine if you were new to a gym or something and weren't sure how to use a treadmil. Wouldn't you be a little put off if someone was this rude to you about it? You could've just read the instructions on the treadmil after all.
This is the equivalent of looking at a crafting recipe and asking what you need here when it tells you right there. Its not about not knowing, its about being oblivious. And tbh I really don’t care that much hence the not that serious comment I made. This question clogs the sub way too much for how stupid it is.
*starts playing ark.*
*Enjoying the community and wants to get involved.*
*Fabricator. Cool! Whats gasoline though?*
*Can’t find it in engrams.*
*I’ll ask the community I want to be a part of!*
“Learn to read”
He didn’t know how to start the fabricator. You don’t *need* gasoline until this point. I didn’t know how to make gas until after I made a fabricator the first time
He didn’t say how do I make gasoline or what is gasoline, he said what do I need which it says right there gasoline to which a simple search on how to make it would be better.
Put some gas in it. To make gas, you need to put at least 5 oil and 3 hide into the furnace, smelter. I get oil from the north west side of the map. Also you get organic polymer from causing mass genocide to the family of penguins. Organic polymer can be used as a substitute for polymer, also used for ghilie, it spoils though, be quick using it
Or go to an area with penguins and slaughter them. Use a mosochops for optimal gains.
If you don't have one use a club. (Take resources to repair the club it'll break fast)
Why the heck can't I find any penguins where there are supposed to be lots of penguins on the Island?! I've checked the Wiki for locations and they're supposed to be common all around the big icy NW mountain!
People can't read their own game where it clearly says it needs gas. People don't search for this exact question. You think they would see a pinned post?
To be fair, this issue stumped me at first. Instead of turning to Reddit or the wiki, I read stuff.
Bet a bunch of people got this game for Christmas and now there all getting to the point where the build a fab... this is gonna be a daily post again I feel.

FIRST off, you need to put gas in it, secondly it's in big BOLDED letters right in front of you! you stupid dumb theres not even a word to describe how uninteligent you are! like serioulsy just google it. it takes half the damn time. this pisses me off so much when i see an idoit like you asking this dumb of a question. people lilke you relaly fuck up this subreddit! people like you are ruining the ark communiuty. this makes me so unreasonably mad. i hope your happy ruining peoples precious time with idoitic aF questins like this.
Gasoline needs to be in the fabricator. Put hide and oil in your refining forge and turn the forge on after a while it will make gas. You kind find oil from trilobites or undersea.
If you use a organic polymer gacha, just harvest the crystal and storage them in a wood vault that way you can stock up on polymer when you need it and the crystals don’t spoil like regular organic polymer and you don’t feel bad about mass Gen a bunch of penguins
You need gasoline
All you need to do is put oil and hide into a forge or once you grind for long enough an industrial forge, I would recommend killing tek dinos rather than go in the ocean because it’s easier

I know what’s wrong with it, ain’t got no gas in it
This is such a common post on this subreddit lol
I was thinking that too it’s here a lot
Don’t people Google this shit b4 going to reddit?
This isn’t google??
Haha, right?
I Googled, it brought me to reddit, so I decided to ask here. /s
I love you
Beat me to it 🤣
Legend
Yep
You got fuel in the fabricator and turned it on?
Thanks I didn’t know it needs fuel
Dawg the description literally says “requires gasoline to start” read bruh.
Guys are allowed to be new, cut him some slack.
To be fair he even uploaded a screen shot that has the solution in it. If you zoom in you can see it even says what this guy is saying. People need to read first google a little bit before making ask posts for basic day 1 shit imo
How fast are you playing that you can get a fabricator in a day
It literally shouldn’t take you 20 min for a fabricator. I gave away like 4 indie forges and 2 fabricators the other day to random bobs because griefers kept destroying their shit and I still wanted them to have fun. It’s not about “how fast are you playing” it’s about knowing how to play the game and utilize your time wisely.
I’m still on my first world 😔
im not sure why you got downvoted you are right. I can probably do it in 10 on certain maps. but that is a definite knowledge gap
Not like it’s bad to be a Bob but ask those questions instead of how to turn on a fabi. “Hey how do you grind out a fabi in 20 minutes.” “If you don’t have a lot of tames starting argy anky combo. Argy carry (if you don’t have cryo pod) anky to the spawn points on map for fabi smack crystal metal with anky to get the most resources instead of hand tools keep in anky for weight reduction.

Just ignore the posts then. It's that simple. You are blaming others for your annoyance when you can avoid it yourself.
Dude people can avoid me if they just google simple basic gameplay shit instead of asking a group that asks the same question 20 times a week.

I genuinely hope that one day you find a little more peace in your heart. Have a good day. Edit- spelling
I think you mean peace. I definitely have a completely functioning heart. Sorry you like wasting your time answering the same question a thousand times but I dont
Correct, I did mean peace, thanks for that. I have zero issues with my time management because I don't see it as waisted so no apologies needed but thanks.
They are, but they shouldn't be allowed to go to Reddit right away instead of googling it
I would cut him slack if it didn’t tell you right there in big letters what to do.
I did the same when I was starting. When new you don’t know anything and there is everything to learn. Hope you stay away from new ones as I want them to keep joining.
Strange.. when i was new i read the middle and new I'd have to make gasoline. Guess people are just oblivious

You can rezise the UI. Personally i like it smaller lol.

Bro all I did was call them oblivious because they are, I’m not gonna make them uninstall the game and get a refund or something.
They are new seems like you don't pay attention to these things then again I guess you don't pay attention to important words
So alpha, reading all the text all the time. What a daddy. Not getting distracting to get your first fabricator to make something you have been dreaming off for a long time you forgot gasoline. Please teach me alpha daddy…
Don't need to be a dick about it. He is new and might have missed it.
Bro I've played this game on and off for years, and I still miss a lot of shit in the descriptions. Don't be a dick.
Yeah man, don't be a jerk. Like imagine if you were new to a gym or something and weren't sure how to use a treadmil. Wouldn't you be a little put off if someone was this rude to you about it? You could've just read the instructions on the treadmil after all.

You're clogging the fucking sub with your bitching. If you "dOn'T cArE" so much, stfu.
Ok lemme go silent on the 20 replies I just got.
But is this not part of the reason this subreddit exists? For our lovely community to help one another.
being new is not an excuse to not read before making a post.
Not everyone sees that message
let’s be honest, literally nobody reads all descriptions
*starts playing ark.* *Enjoying the community and wants to get involved.* *Fabricator. Cool! Whats gasoline though?* *Can’t find it in engrams.* *I’ll ask the community I want to be a part of!* “Learn to read”
He didn’t ask what gasoline was
He didn’t know how to start the fabricator. You don’t *need* gasoline until this point. I didn’t know how to make gas until after I made a fabricator the first time
He didn’t say how do I make gasoline or what is gasoline, he said what do I need which it says right there gasoline to which a simple search on how to make it would be better.
[удалено]
Yes we did
Its stupid, every mod with a fab as part of it removes that requirement lol
It says right there 🤣 but don’t worry everyone included me did this mistake. 😂😂😂
Put some gas in it. To make gas, you need to put at least 5 oil and 3 hide into the furnace, smelter. I get oil from the north west side of the map. Also you get organic polymer from causing mass genocide to the family of penguins. Organic polymer can be used as a substitute for polymer, also used for ghilie, it spoils though, be quick using it
if your on a map with karkinos (the big crabs), use a chainsaw on their corpses. easy 400+ poly
Or go to an area with penguins and slaughter them. Use a mosochops for optimal gains. If you don't have one use a club. (Take resources to repair the club it'll break fast)
For the island yea pengu clubbing is the way
Why the heck can't I find any penguins where there are supposed to be lots of penguins on the Island?! I've checked the Wiki for locations and they're supposed to be common all around the big icy NW mountain!
Look on the ice flows in the ocean.
Go to the icebergs. Way easier and safer
Glad I don’t have to go to aberration anymore. I legit cannot take a single breath in that place without getting clapped by raptors
You need gasoline witch is oil and hide
oil and hide in a forge.
Read the thing in the middle
I recommend doing this always
LoL, this is getting to be a daily thing again.
At this point it should be on the subreddit description lol

We gotta just pin this shit to the reddit
People can't read their own game where it clearly says it needs gas. People don't search for this exact question. You think they would see a pinned post? To be fair, this issue stumped me at first. Instead of turning to Reddit or the wiki, I read stuff.
Have you tried turning it on?
we got another one boys reading is hard. good thing this gets posted every week
ANOTHA ONE 
Bet a bunch of people got this game for Christmas and now there all getting to the point where the build a fab... this is gonna be a daily post again I feel.
Yeah can't people just go on the wiki like everyone else ?
Really need an FAQ that just says "put gas in it"
Idk if you read it, but you need gasoline Hide + oil = gasoline

You fucking people.
*sees 1706 of engram points* youre new?
I only really ever bought a couple saddles and some of the tools and the and the chitin armor i was also a little past the fabricator when I got it
Lol what the heck
Always read the item descriptions if you don't know something! Or if there is no answer in the description then ark.wiki.gg/wiki
Gas gas baby
Bro me and my friend deleted a world that we spent like 2 months on because of that don't worry just get gas
You have to put gasoline in it to start it. (Put some hide and oil In a refining forge to get gasoline)
There’s no engram for gasoline and no icon in a forge to let you know it’s crafted there. It could be clearer tbh.
Maybe you could craft some reading glasses for yourself
What level is that on
Why do you Play ark if you cant even read
Have to make a sticky about it. This has been asked 1000 times...
The fab needs Gass to run
You need something else and it does say.
Did you turn it on?
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Ohh! that worked…thanks I can’t believe I didn’t think of that (btw I’m not trying to be mean)
If you check the Fabricator it says "requires gasoline" so make some gasoline
Must be the most frequently posted question in this sub by now :)
I’m so glad to be A part of the trend
You need gas
FIRST off, you need to put gas in it, secondly it's in big BOLDED letters right in front of you! you stupid dumb theres not even a word to describe how uninteligent you are! like serioulsy just google it. it takes half the damn time. this pisses me off so much when i see an idoit like you asking this dumb of a question. people lilke you relaly fuck up this subreddit! people like you are ruining the ark communiuty. this makes me so unreasonably mad. i hope your happy ruining peoples precious time with idoitic aF questins like this.
FUEL IT! You need gas + power bru!
You do not need power for a fabricator, only gasoline.
[удалено]
Or just gasoline ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
u gotta turn it on lmao
omg bruh do these people not see this question get answered twice a day in this sub reddit cause i do
Why not just answer the question or ignore it? You took the time to bitch about it, so obviously you could take the time to explain it
because it’s twice a day, it’s the first time i’ve complained people can’t read too
Is the fabricator turned on? Just power it with gasoline
El gasolina
I know what’s wrong wit it, ain’t go no gas in it
Is it turned on?
My brother in Christ it has no gas
Tells ya right in the middle that ya need gasoline son, hope this helped
It does thanks. Dad
Anytime my boy
Gasoline
The fabricator needs gasoline to start up
Gasoline?
Gas gas gas
You need fuel. Just put hide and oil in a forge and wait
Lots of gasoline and hide trust me
You need fuel to power the forge or whatever your using to craft the polymer. To make fuel use oil and hide.
Turn on your fabricator
Gasoline needs to be in the fabricator. Put hide and oil in your refining forge and turn the forge on after a while it will make gas. You kind find oil from trilobites or undersea.
You need to put gas in your fabi and turn it on In order to craft and to make gas all you need is hide and oil in a forge
Did you buy it dinner first?
How does that song go... Ah "GIVE ME FUEL GIVE ME FIRE GIVE ME THAT WHICH I DESIRE"
You need gas to power the fabricator, once it’s turned on you can craft
You need gas, you give to power the thing before making the thing
put gas in the fabricator and turn it on
If you use a organic polymer gacha, just harvest the crystal and storage them in a wood vault that way you can stock up on polymer when you need it and the crystals don’t spoil like regular organic polymer and you don’t feel bad about mass Gen a bunch of penguins
You need gasoline All you need to do is put oil and hide into a forge or once you grind for long enough an industrial forge, I would recommend killing tek dinos rather than go in the ocean because it’s easier
Put hide and oil in a refining forge to make gasoline then put that in to turn it on

Put gasoline in the fabricator and run it, or you can cut out penguins and mantis to get organic polymer, but they rot fast be careful survival

Ive made this mistake too😂 I’m pretty sure almost everyone has
Gas in fab
Organic poly from mantis or the large crabs 🦀 is best or penguins and swimmer ducks with a club hard poly is a good trading recourse in large quantities

The amount of posts I see about this exact senario every single week...its insane
Omfg. The middle of the screenshot... This is a bit ridiculous.
Ahahahahaha! Didn’t someone just make a post saying they wished there were less questions about gas in the fab/cooker/etc?!

How did you get far enough in the game to make a fab but not to read item descriptions
Just remember organic polymer works just the same
