Greenhouse Triangle Ceiling — Detailed Guide
Glass ceiling for growing crops indoors
The Greenhouse Triangle Ceiling is a triangle-shaped greenhouse piece in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended: a glass ceiling held in a metal frame. Its description says it keeps the inside insulated from the outside, works as a floor for the level above, and suits growing crops indoors. The ARK Wiki adds that this ceiling gives advantages for Farming, and that the shelter a ceiling offers from the elements boosts hypothermic and hyperthermic insulation.
Unlocking and crafting
The engram becomes available at level 42 for 30 engram points, and our records name the 
Stone Triangle Ceiling as its prerequisite. It is crafted in a 
Smithy or on an 
Argentavis Saddle from:
- 5
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 17
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal) - 5
Cementing Paste (or 
Achatina Paste)
Each craft takes 4 seconds and earns 12 XP. A piece weighs 2 and stacks to 100; a full stack weighs 200.
Placement and support
It needs a nearby foundation or pillar for support. According to the wiki, a ceiling can reach up to 2 ceilings away along the x or y axis, and 1 ceiling diagonally, measured from a wall or ceiling sitting right above a connected foundation or pillar. The outermost pieces of such a layout cannot hold walls. After the first piece is down, further Greenhouse Triangle Ceilings snap along it when there is room.
Durability and loot
The wiki says it counts as a greenhouse structure: anything can damage it apart from non-explosive ranged attacks. If it breaks, building pieces resting on it are destroyed too, and demolishing it refunds nothing for those extra pieces. Our records list it on 14 maps and in 44 crate types, such as the Genesis Purple and Genesis Orange crates of Genesis Part 2.
