The Bad Lands region on the map is noted for having low amounts of vegetation, no natural water supplies, but an extreme amount of metal resources. We’ll go through each region and see what is unique to each.

The Map is essentially broken down into 8 different regions. You can find natural water resources such as cacti, Jug Bugs, and natural water wells. With this desert map, you can actually get too hot and suffer from heat stroke. There are very few natural water resources, so it is important to preserve the water that you do find. The further you go from the central area in the desert, the more difficult the creatures become. Instead of being surrounded by water, there is nothing but sand and heat. The Scorched Earth Map takes a little bit of a twist on the Island. You can also spawn in any item with an admin command, regardless if you have bought the map or not. Anything that is tamed and any items that you create, can be brought over to the regular Island Map and used by people that have not bought the expansion. In a nutshell, the Scorched Earth map adds 11 new creatures, 50 new items, a new boss, and an entire new map for people to explore and conquer. It would be released a couple months later for the PlayStation 4. When a Water Vein has a well placed on it, all players may still drink from it, even if it is kept Locked by the owning Tribe.The Scorched Earth Map was released on September 1st, 2016 and was released for $20. On Official servers, no structures may be placed on or surrounding any Water Veins with the exception of a Water Well on top of the vein. Outside of Official servers, stone and metal Irrigation Pipes may be placed connecting to the well at its snap points in the same way they connect to a Irrigation Pipe - Intake.

By placing a Water Well on top the vein, the amount of water stored is increased and containers may now be placed in the well's inventory to be refilled using the Use Remote Item option. Water Veins have a limited quantity of water that refills over time. Players may drink directly from a Water Vein by looking at it and pressing the use button (default E). Water Veins are found throughout the Scorched Earth, Valguero, Crystal Isles and Ragnarok DLCs. They serve as a source of water for survivors which may be upgraded through the construction and placement of a Water Well. Water Vein is a strategic resource in ARK:Survival Evolved.
