Industrial Cooker — Detailed Guide
The cooking pot, scaled up
The Industrial Cooker is the advanced form of the 
Cooking Pot in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description reads: "Burns Gasoline to cook large quantities of food quickly. Put various ingredients in this to make soups, stews, and dyes." The ARK Wiki adds kibble, soap and every dye color to its output, along with custom recipes.
Setting it up and running it
The cooker has to snap onto an irrigation pipe, preferably at an intersection. Put Gasoline in its inventory and start it with the light button under the inventory slots. Water comes from the irrigation network, or from a 
Canteen, 
Water Jar or 
Waterskin holding at least 25% water. In kibble production it turns out 1 kibble every 3 seconds.
The wiki warns never to remove the pipes from a cooker: doing so destroys it and refunds none of its materials. It can also store items that have nothing to do with cooking, and it works out the maximum yield of a recipe by itself.
Engram and materials
This is a late unlock at level 89 for 60 engram points, with the Cooking Pot as its prerequisite. A 
Fabricator or 
Tek Replicator builds it in 15 seconds, and the craft gives 700 XP. The bill is steep:
- 1800
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 450
Cementing Paste or 
Achatina Paste - 300
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer, or 
Corrupted Nodule - 300
Oil or Oil (
Tusoteuthis)
Toughness, weight and loot
It counts as a stone structure, so only certain attacks damage it; the wiki's list includes Explosives (150%), the 
Tek Sword (~218%), the 
Cannon (~137%), Metal Weapons (5%) and the 
Titanosaur (~462%). The cooker weighs 4, and 56 crate types can contain it, such as Aberration Red and Aberration Surface Yellow.
