How to get Prime Meat, Jerky & what you can craft

Unlike many ARK events which rely on finding a unique creature or item on the game’s various maps, Summer Bash 2020 items are based on a consumable that’s readily available all the time.

If you want a cool Hawiian shirt or a summery weapon skin, all you need is Prime Meat, Prime Meat Jerky or some other kind of Meat. Prime Meat Jerky requires one piece of Cooked Prime Meat, one Oil and three Sparkpowder. Cooked Prime Meat, of course, is made by taking the Raw Prime Meat often harvested from creatures and tossing it into a Campfire. Meat and Jerky are pretty plentiful in ARK, but you’ll need lots of it if you want to craft Summer Bash items legitimately. It will be a grind, and unfortunately there aren’t many tips we can offer to speed it up. Just keep hacking away at Rexs, Sarcos, Wyverns and other valuable creatures.

Below are the crafting recipes worth knowing for Summer Bash 2020. Just like always, these items are crafted in a standard Cooking Pot.

Creature Color Codes

To change a creature’s color, you can use the following command: “setTargetDinoColor r c.” In this case, “r” stands for the region, or part of the body, you want to color. These are numbered 0-5 but small creatures may not support all regions. The “c” obviously stands for color, and these color codes are numbered. Here are the numbers for all colors featured in Summer Bash 2020:

34: Dino Dark Blue1: Red18: White28: Dino Sky Blue17: Dark Red2: Blue8: Light Grey100: Cream97: Cammo75: Orange93: MediumTeal81: DarkBlue83: LemonLime76: Peach74: Coral
