Showing your player location on the map in Ark Survival Evolved is not turned on by default in the Single Player Options. It is as simple as checking a box. Unfortunately on servers, it is an option not always selected by the owner of the server. Without the player map pointer, the game is much harder when starting out on a new map, or a large map.
The player location shows up as a blue triangle.
To turn on player map location in single player:
PC - Scroll down the general tab in the single-player options menu and just check the SHOW MAP PLAYER LOCATION box.
Now your survivor's location should show on the map as a blue triangle that shows the location and the direction you are facing. You can also add pins to your Ark Survival Evolved maps.
Ragnarok has some
great features, and some great resources to harvest.Here and in the accompanying video we look at
the locations of the metal, crystal, oil, and obsidian resources on the Ragnarok
Ark Survival Evolved Map.The video and
post cover most of the major deposits.If you have a favorite spot I didn’t mention, put it in the comments. I finally made a part 2 video as well that covers a few spots I missed in the first one. It includes maybe the best spot for metal on the map. That part of the map was not there when I made the first video.
