Dinosaur Gate — Detailed Guide
The simplest gate for a base
Built from wood, the Dinosaur Gate is what the ARK Wiki calls the most basic gate in ARK: Survival Evolved. Its description: "A large wooden gate that can be used with a Gateway to keep dinosaurs in or out." It protects a base while giving tamed dinosaurs a way in and out.
Placing and locking it
The gate can only be placed inside a gateway, and our records name the 
Dinosaur Gateway as its prerequisite. Once in place it can be locked or unlocked, which keeps outsiders away while you and your tames still get through.
Crafting the gate
The engram unlocks at level 18 for 5 engram points. The gate is crafted in the inventory from:
- 60
Wood (or 
Fungal Wood) - 15
Thatch - 10
Fiber
Each craft yields one gate. It weighs 4 and gates stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.
Damage it ignores
The game treats it as a wooden structure: bare hands, stone weapons and non-explosive ranged attacks cannot hurt it. The wiki also lists aggressive creatures that cannot damage it, among them the 
Raptor, 
Direwolf, 
Sabertooth, 
Terror Bird, 
Titanoboa, 
Kaprosuchus and 
Thylacoleo.
Maps and loot
Our records list it on 12 maps, from The Island and Scorched Earth to Lost Island and Fjordur. In all, 70 crate types can contain it, for example the Aberration Blue, Aberration Green and Aberration Purple crates.
