A mobile base on a Grand Tortugar

The Grand Tortugar Platform Saddle does two jobs: it lets you ride a tamed Grand Tortugar, and according to its item text, its large platform takes structures, turning the creature into a mobile base. The ARK Wiki lists it for ARK: Survival Ascended, with Astraeos as its DLC.

The wiki's crafting stations include the Smithy, the Tek Replicator and the Exo-Mek, along with the Argentavis, Castoroides, Thorny Dragon and Helicoprion saddles.

Protection and where to find one

The saddle has an armor rating of 20, weighs 20 and does not stack. Our records count 6 loot crates that can contain it, all on Astraeos: Astraeos Lime, the Easy and Medium Astraeos Orbital crates, Erymanthian, Kalydonios and Minotarchos.
