Metal is required to produce and function some of the important supplies of Ark The Center. Getting this resource requires you to farm metal rocks that are soft and shiny compared to regular rocks.
Metal can be found nearly everywhere globally, including on mountains and hills in forests, tropical islands, Floating Islands, Moster Face Islands, and Snow Biomes. However, the Center (60, 20) and Batman (95, 66) appear to have the largest densities.
This guide includes some of the best metal farming locations in Ark The Center.
