Embarking on a journey in the vast world of ARK: Survival Evolved, you'll find that customization isn't limited to just your character's clothing and accessories. Your dinosaur companions can also sport a variety of hairstyles, adding a touch of personalization to your prehistoric allies. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to get different hairstyles for your dinos in ARK.
Understanding Dinos' Hairstyles
Before we dive into the methods, it's essential to understand that not all dinosaurs can have hairstyles. Currently, only the following creatures can sport a new 'do:
- Parasaur
- Raptor
- Carno
- Ptera
- Argy
- Megalodon
Additionally, not all hairstyles are available for every creature. Some styles are exclusive to specific dinos.
Gathering the Required Items
To change your dino's hairstyle, you'll need to craft a Hairstyle Mod. This item requires the following components:
- 10 Fiber
- 10 Hide
- 1 Sparkpowder
Fiber and Hide can be obtained by harvesting certain plants and creatures, while Sparkpowder is created by combining Metal Ingot and Cement Powder in an Industrial Forge.
Crafting the Hairstyle Mod
Once you've gathered the required materials, follow these steps to craft the Hairstyle Mod:
- Access your Crafting Menu by pressing the 'Q' key.
- Navigate to the Other Craftables tab.
- Scroll down and select the Hairstyle Mod.
- Drag the required items into the crafting grid and click the 'Craft' button.
Applying the Hairstyle Mod
Now that you have your Hairstyle Mod, it's time to give your dino a new look. Follow these steps:
- Approach your tamed dino and press the 'E' key to open its inventory.
- Drag the Hairstyle Mod into the 'Consumables' section of your dino's inventory.
- Select the Hairstyle Mod and click the 'Use' button.
- Choose the desired hairstyle from the list that appears.
Removing or Changing Hairstyles
If you're not satisfied with your dino's new hairstyle, don't worry! You can remove or change it at any time. To do so, simply follow the same steps as applying a new hairstyle, but select the 'Remove Hairstyle' option instead of choosing a new style.
Conclusion
Changing your dino's hairstyle in ARK is a fun and easy way to personalize your prehistoric companions. With a variety of styles to choose from, you can create a unique look for each of your dinos. So, grab your crafting materials and start styling!
