Adobe Stairs — Detailed Guide
Stairs that switch to a ramp
Builders working in adobe use this piece to get from one floor of a base to the next. ARK: Survival Evolved calls it 
Adobe Stairs, while ARK: Survival Ascended names it Adobe Roof, Ramp & Stairs. The in-game text: "Adobe-plated concrete stairs for travelling up or down levels. Can be switched to a ramp variant."
Size and placement
According to the ARK Wiki, the stairs take up one foundation by one foundation and stand 1.5 walls high, a size that can make a layout awkward to plan. The wiki suggests placing them from the upper floor downward: any extra length then usually ends up passing through the floor, whereas starting at the bottom tends to leave the top sticking out past the surface you want to reach.
Engram and recipe
The engram unlocks at level 16 for 3 engram points. Each piece costs:
- 60
Clay - 30
Wood (
Fungal Wood also works) - 15
Thatch - 10
Fiber
A craft gives 7.9 XP. Our records list a crafting time of 5 seconds in ASE and 0 in ASA.
Maps, weight and loot
The wiki says the piece was introduced in Scorched Earth and also lists Fjordur, Valguero, Lost Island, Ragnarok, Genesis: Part 2 and Crystal Isles; our records also list Astraeos. A piece weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records count 54 crate types that can contain it, among them Astraeos Desert Blue and the Genesis Blue crate on Genesis Part 2.
