Dinghy — Detailed Guide
A quick little boat from Primitive Plus
The Dinghy is a vehicle from the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved. In-game it reads: "A small boat that is faster than a traditional raft. Structures cannot be built on the dinghy." It was called the Rowboat until version 1.5 renamed it.
Building one
Our records put the engram at level 35; it costs 20 engram points. A Dinghy takes 15 seconds to craft, grants 93.75 XP and needs:
Wood
Fiber
HideIt weighs 85 and stacks to 2, so a full stack weighs 170.
Handling on the water
- Although it looks narrow, its hitbox matches the
Wooden Raft: a square for walking, building and taking hits. - The ARK Wiki says it can outrun a Leedsychthys, though heading for the closest shore remains the safer choice.
- Tames can be harder to load into it than onto a raft.
- The boat's two ends, front and back, are not solid, and that includes the spot where the driver stands, so keep moving forward as you dismount or you will drop off.
- Despite the description, some structures can be placed on it. A foundation goes on upside down, and ceilings do the same. After a server restart, placed structures stay where they were while the boat can still move away.
