Polymer is a very strong and useful resource in Ark: Survival Ascended. It can be used to craft tools, armor, and other items. It is found on the Aberration map in limited quantities, making it highly sought after.
In Ark: Aberration, organic Polymer can be obtained in two ways. You can either go the normal melee route or use a dino. Use a Wooden Club to increase your yield for the former, while your best bet will be a Pelagornis for the latter. The material is derived from black rocks located around the map.

Polymer Spawn Command
If you’re having trouble finding Polymer in Ark: Survival Ascended, you can use its spawn commands to have it spawn directly in your inventory. To do this, you must open the cheat console by pressing the TAB key on your keyboard.
If you’re playing on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down, LB, RB, X, and Y at once. Once the console opens, simply type in the command “cheat gfi Polymer 1 0 0” and hit enter.
If you encounter a situation where these commands do not work, try resetting your system or game.
