How to Water Plants in ARK Survival

Feeding and watering plants is an essential part of ARK Survival gameplay. In this guide, we will look at how to water your plants and give them the best chance of flourishing.

What You Need

First, you need to make sure you have the necessary tools to take care of your plants. You will need to have:

A water container - this can be a Waterskin, Water Jar, or Canteen

An irrigation system - either a Water Reservoir or a simple irrigation system

Fertilizer - plant species X requires Fertilizer to grow

It's worth noting that while any water container can be used to water plants, using a Waterskin may not be the most efficient as these have a small capacity and will need constant refilling.

Using an Irrigation System

If you have set up an irrigation system, watering plants becomes much easier. Ensure that the irrigation system is close to your plants and that the pipes are correctly placed. Then, fill your Water Reservoir with water and fertilize your plants with Fertilizer.

When your plants need watering, you can simply interact with the Water Reservoir to fill your water container. Then, approach the plant and use the water container to water it. Depending on how much water the plant needs, you may need to fill your container multiple times.

It's worth noting that Water Reservoirs can hold multiple Water Containers' worth of water, so ensure that it is adequately filled before watering your plants.

Watering without an Irrigation System

If you don't have an irrigation system set up, watering your plants can be more challenging. Your plants must be close to a water source, such as a river or lake. Fill your water container with water and fertilize your plants as before.

Then, approach the plant and use the water container to water it. You should see a small green bar appear above the plant when you are watering it. Once the bar is full, the plant has been watered adequately.

Remember that plants require constant watering in ARK Survival. Check your plants regularly and water them as needed to give them the best chance of survival.

Conclusion

Watering your plants in ARK Survival is a crucial aspect of the game. By having the right tools and understanding how to use them, you can help your plants thrive and produce the resources you need.

Whether you use an irrigation system or water plants manually, the key is to ensure that your plants are adequately watered at all times. By following these simple steps, you'll soon have a flourishing garden full of healthy and robust plants.
