Greenhouse Wall — Detailed Guide
Glass walls for growing indoors
In ARK: Survival Ascended this piece is called Greenhouse Wall & Doorways, while ARK: Survival Evolved names it 
Greenhouse Wall. The game introduces it as "A metal-framed, glass wall that insulates the inside from the outside and separates rooms." and recommends it for growing crops indoors. The ARK Wiki ties it to the advantages a greenhouse gives for farming.
When the greenhouse bonus applies
A wall on its own gives no bonus. The wiki explains that, of all greenhouse pieces, only the ceiling tiles and slanted roofs provide the effect by themselves, and that walls count toward it only when they are attached to a greenhouse ceiling. Its suggestion: put up the walls from a simple stand-in first and roof the room with greenhouse ceiling pieces, which makes it work right away, then add the greenhouse walls later for the look.
Placement and damage
A fence foundation of any kind will not take a greenhouse wall. The wall is treated as a greenhouse structure, and anything can damage it except ranged attacks that do not explode.
Engram and crafting
The engram unlocks at level 42 for 30 engram points, with the 
Stone Wall as its prerequisite. Each wall takes 2 seconds to craft and gives 9.1 XP. It is made in a 
Smithy, and the wiki also names the 
Tek Replicator, the 
Exo-Mek, the 
Thorny Dragon Saddle, the 
Castoroides Saddle and the 
Argentavis Saddle as places to craft it. The recipe:
- 25
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal - 7
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 7
Cementing Paste or 
Achatina Paste
Weight and loot
A wall weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records count 44 crate types that can contain it, such as the Genesis Blue, Genesis Cyan and Genesis Purple crates on Genesis Part 2, and list it on 14 maps.
