Adobe Ceiling — Detailed Guide
A ceiling that doubles as a floor
The Adobe Ceiling belongs to the adobe building tier of ARK: Survival Evolved and was introduced with Scorched Earth. In the game's words, it is "A stable adobe-plated concrete ceiling that provides insulation, and doubles as a floor for higher levels." The ARK Wiki adds that ceilings protect against the elements and raise insulation against both heat and cold.
Engram and recipe
Our records put the engram at level 15 for 5 engram points. The ceiling is crafted in the inventory from:
- 60
Clay - 30
Wood (or 
Fungal Wood) - 15
Thatch - 10
Fiber
A craft takes 4 seconds and gives 6.5 XP. Each ceiling weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.
Snapping and support
- It must sit on a foundation, a pillar, a wall or another ceiling, and it needs a nearby foundation or pillar to hold it up.
- After the first adobe ceiling is placed, others snap in line with it as long as there is room.
- Counting from a wall or ceiling placed over a connected pillar or foundation, ceilings can reach up to 2 pieces out along either axis and 1 piece diagonally. The outermost ceilings of such a span cannot support walls.
- Destroying a ceiling also destroys the pieces that depend on it, and when it is removed with the demolish option those extra pieces refund nothing.
Toward a complete adobe base
According to the wiki, a simple adobe build with the best possible hyperthermal insulation needs 
Adobe Walls, an 
Adobe Foundation and the ceiling itself. Our records list the ceiling on 7 maps: Scorched Earth, Genesis Part 2, Ragnarok, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Lost Island and Fjordur. Loot is another source, as 58 crate types can contain it, Genesis Blue and Genesis Cyan among them.
