Brick Dinosaur Gateway — Detailed Guide
A brick frame for a dinosaur pen
The Brick Dinosaur Gateway is a Primitive Plus structure in ARK: Survival Evolved: "A massive brick-and-mortar gateway that can be used for penning up dinosaurs." It is the frame; the matching Brick Dinosaur Gate fills it, and together they close off an enclosure.
Building it
The engram unlocks at level 52 for 7 engram points. One gateway costs:
- 450
Brick (Primitive Plus) - 100
Stone - 50
Cementing Paste
Unlike the other brick structures, it takes Cementing Paste rather than Fresh Cement. Crafting takes 3 seconds and gives 20 XP, and each gateway weighs 4.
Placement
You can set it straight on the ground without a foundation. It does not snap to regular foundations or walls, but it does snap to fence foundations. The gate itself is 2 wall panels wide and 4 high.
What fits through
Large creatures will not pass. The ARK Wiki lists the 
Brontosaurus, 
Diplodocus, 
Giganotosaurus, 
Mammoth, 
Megalodon, 
Morellatops, 
Mosasaurus, Paracer, 
Plesiosaur, 
Quetzal, 
Sarco, 
Spino, 
Titanosaur and 
Wyvern as too big. A 
Woolly Rhino fits through the empty frame, but not once the gate is installed.
Durability
It counts as a stone structure. Metal weapons barely scratch it at 5% damage, while explosives deal 150%.
