Large Stone Wall

One piece, four walls tall

The Large Stone Wall is a stone building piece in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game's line for it: "A wall that is as tall as four normal walls." It is crafted straight from the inventory, and our records list it on 9 maps.

Engram and materials

It unlocks at level 28 for 10 engram points. Each wall costs 160 Stone, 80 Wood and 60 Thatch; the ASA recipe accepts Fungal Wood in place of Wood, and the ARK Wiki gives the same option. Crafting takes 2 seconds and gives 9 XP. A wall weighs 16 and stacks to 100, a full stack weighing 1600. Our records count 44 loot crate types that can contain it, such as the Genesis Blue, Genesis Purple and Genesis Red crates.

Placement and support

It can go on any Foundation, a Fence Foundation, another wall, or a Ceiling other than the Thatch Roof, but rafts and platform saddles will not take it. Pieces built on top of it can extend 2 ceilings out along either horizontal axis, or 1 ceiling diagonally when the wall stands right above a foundation. During placement, the use key flips the wall's orientation. If the wall is destroyed, every piece relying on it falls as well, and when the cause was demolishing, those extra pieces refund nothing.

What can damage it
