Tek Stegosaurus
Tek Stegosaurus Overview
In ARK: Survival Ascended, Tek Stegosaurus occupies the harvester niche - is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. As a herbivore, it responds to knockout taming - favoring Regular Kibble - and ships with 500 base Weight, providing massive inventory space. Breeding pairs lay fertilized eggs requiring 22°C–28°C incubation, after which juveniles reach adulthood slowly. Once tamed it harvests Scrap Metal, Electronics, Oil and other materials more efficiently than most player tools. Players target Tek Stegosaurus once they need a reliable workhorse beyond the starter mounts.

Drops & Harvest Resources
Harvesting a dead Tek Stegosaurus yields Scrap Metal, Electronics, Oil, Element Dust. The corpse has 80 harvest health, allowing multiple hits before it's fully depleted.
Different tools yield different quantities - check the table below to pick the right tool for the resource you need. Generally, a Pick favors meat while a Hatchet favors hide and secondary materials.
| Resource |  Pick |  Hatchet |
|---|---|---|
| 60%~4~3 hits | 40%~2~2 hits | |
| 60%~4~3 hits | 40%~2~2 hits | |
| 60%~4~3 hits | 40%~2~2 hits | |
| 60%~4~3 hits | 40%~2~2 hits |
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
