Brick Foundation — Detailed Guide
A stone-class foundation from Primitive+
The Brick Foundation is a building piece from the Primitive+ DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved. As with any foundation, you place it first so that other structures can be built in that spot. The ARK Wiki notes that the piece went by the name Concrete Foundation before v1.5.
Unlocking and crafting
Our records put the engram at level 35 for 6 engram points. Each foundation is made from 7 
Fresh Cement (Primitive Plus), takes 5 seconds to craft and gives 13.5 XP. A foundation weighs 4 and up to 100 stack together, so a full stack weighs 400.
What can damage it
The game treats it as a stone structure, and the ARK Wiki lists the limited set of attacks that can hurt it. Examples with their damage share:
- metal weapons (5%) and the
Tek Sword (~218%) - explosives (150%), the
Cannon (~137%) and the 
Ballista Turret (40%) - creatures such as the
Magmasaur, 
Deathworm, 
Roll Rat, 
Chalicotherium, 
Arthropluera and 
Managarmr, the 
Dunkleosteus (15%) and the 
Therizinosaur with its headbutt (~2%) - Alpha creatures and bosses (10% each), Titans, plus the
Titanosaur and the 
Defense Unit (~462%) - Astral, Corrupted and Enraged creatures, and the
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern (300%)
The 
Giganotosaurus (15%), the 
Tek Rifle (~50%) and the 
Rock Elemental can also damage stone, though the wiki says they cannot harm auto turrets.
