Corrupted Wood — Detailed Guide
Wood from corrupted trees
Corrupted Wood is a resource from the Extinction DLC, found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description calls it a sturdy cutting taken from a corrupted tree, with every property of wood. It stands in for 
Fungal Wood and can go into any recipe that asks for normal Wood or for the Fungal Wood of Aberration.
Where to harvest it
The ARK Wiki says it comes from the white-leaved trees along the outer edge of the city, together with 
Blue Crystalized Sap, and describes it as easy to obtain. Our records list it on Extinction, Astraeos and Valguero.
Recipes that take it
Any recipe built on Wood can use it, from the 
Torch, 
Spear, 
Stone Pick and 
Stone Hatchet to the 
Dinosaur Gateway and thatch, wooden and stone structures. The wiki also names the 
Climbing Pick, 
Fish Basket, 
Portable Rope Ladder and 
Karkinos Saddle among the items it is used to craft. In ASE our records also show it in 
Basic Augmented Kibble, at 5 per craft. The wiki rates it a very valuable resource on Extinction, given how many recipes use it and in what amounts.
Weight and stack size
A piece weighs 0.5 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 50. The wiki gives 275.0 as the version that added it.
