If you're looking to power up your base on the Scorched Earth map, one item you can use is a Wind Turbine, but you'll need to get a few items before you can.
How to get a wind turbine in Ark: Survival Evolved
To craft a wind turbine, you will need the following materials listed below.
- 75 Metal Ingot
- 20 cement paste
- 25 Electronics
- 50 level
In addition to the materials listed above, you will also need to craft a Fabricator, which you can craft at a Forge with the following materials.
- 50 sparkling powder
- 15 Crystal
- 10 Oil
- 35 Metal Ingot
- 20 cement paste
- 48 level
If you don't know where to find most of these materials, you can familiarize yourself with the following guides.
As for other materials, to get crystal you will have to mine it with a pickaxe usually in snow biomes on some maps. For other maps, you will need to research the ocean.
To get electronics, you'll need to craft it with Silica Beads and Metal Ingots, which you can craft from Metal Ore.
That said, once the fabricator is crafted, you will need to assemble the materials needed to craft the wind turbine. Once the turbine is made, you can use it as a very efficient alternate means of power.
However, you will need to place the wind turbine in a location that has a lot of wind, or you may find that it stops working when it reaches around 20% wind strength.
its power level also applies to other maps such as The Center and The Island and Crystal Isles. But other maps like Aberration don't even have wind, so you won't be able to use wind turbines on this map.
