Elevator Track — Detailed Guide
Track plus platform makes an elevator
The Elevator Track is the structure that, together with an 
Elevator Platform, makes an elevator in ARK: Survival Evolved. The in-game text: "Attach an Elevator Platform to these to complete an Elevator!" According to the ARK Wiki, any Elevator Platform works with it, and the finished elevator lifts players and creatures. The track needs electricity, so it must sit near a powered 
Electrical Outlet, within its range, to work.
Stacking the tracks
- The lowest track goes on a foundation or on the ground, and every further track snaps onto the one beneath it.
- The platform attaches at the bottom of the lowest track and ends up facing opposite to where you looked while placing that track.
- Platforms such as Rafts will not take a track, and terrain or resources clipping into one can keep it from working.
Unlocking and crafting tracks
The engram needs level 70 and 40 engram points. Tracks are crafted in a 
Fabricator, a 
Tek Replicator or an 
Exo-Mek, at 5 seconds and 1 XP each, from:
- 140
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 35
Polymer (
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule also work) - 25
Cementing Paste (or 
Achatina Paste) - 20
Electronics
Weight, crates and paint
One track weighs 4 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records list it on 12 maps and count 66 crate types that can contain it, such as the Aberration Purple crates on Aberration and Valguero and the Aberration Surface Yellow crates. The wiki dates it to patch 214.0. For dyeing, its paint regions are the cables, the sides, the X supports, the inside rails and the screws.
