Volcano Runs Get Risky As Industrial Dreams Begin - Ark Survival Ascended The Island (EP175)

In Ark Survival Ascended EP175 on The Island, the episode starts in chaos. A Carno somehow clips through the walls of my snow biome base and begins attacking, turning what should be a calm start into instant panic. After dealing with the unexpected threat, I shift focus away from walls and towers and toward the machines that will power everything.

With the danger handled, I take my Ankylosaurus and Argentavis straight to the Volcano, grinding out massive amounts of metal, obsidian, and stone while balancing weight limits, lava hazards, and risky landings. Every run feels like one wrong move away from disaster.

This episode is all about the resource grind. Metal ingots, polymer, electronics, and cementing paste become the priority as I prepare for the next major leap, crafting an Industrial Forge, a Chemistry Bench, and an Industrial Oven for the snow biome base. As a bonus, I hop off the dinos and manually harvest obsidian and crystal with a pickaxe, proving that sometimes old-school methods still matter.

The base build is not abandoned, it is evolving. These interior components are essential before construction can truly continue, and every Volcano run brings the snow biome stronghold closer to full industrial power.

Next episode, the crafting begins and the snow base finally starts to feel alive.
