Giant Adobe Trapdoor — Detailed Guide
A giant adobe hatch
The Giant Adobe Trapdoor is an adobe building piece in ARK: Survival Evolved that came with Scorched Earth, and the ARK Wiki also lists it on Fjordur, Lost Island, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Ragnarok and Genesis: Part 2. Its in-game description: "A large adobe gate that can be used with a Gateway to keep most dinosaurs in or out." The wiki adds that it protects a base and lets tamed creatures move in and out.
Placing and locking it
It can only be placed inside a Giant Hatchframe, and our records list the 
Giant Adobe Hatchframe as its engram prerequisite. Once in place, the trapdoor can be locked or unlocked, keeping strangers out while you and your tribemates can still pass. The wiki points out that giant trapdoors are handy for flying in and out of a base on flyers.
Crafting cost and weight
The engram unlocks at level 34 for 12 engram points. A trapdoor takes 5 seconds to craft, gives 6.9 XP and needs:
- 100
Clay - 45
Wood (
Fungal Wood also works) - 20
Thatch - 10
Fiber
The wiki infobox names the 
Argentavis Saddle as a place to craft it. Each trapdoor weighs 4 and stacks to 5, so a full stack weighs 20. Our records count 52 loot crates that can contain it, such as the Genesis Blue and Genesis Purple crates on Genesis Part 2. The wiki dates the piece to version 246.0.
