Large Wooden Wall

Tall wooden walls in one placement

ARK: Survival Ascended lists this piece as the Wood Large Wall, while ARK: Survival Evolved calls it the Large Wooden Wall. Its description: "A wall that is as tall as four normal walls." It is crafted directly in the inventory and appears on 14 maps in our records.

Engram and recipe

The engram opens at level 15 for 9 engram points. A wall takes 160 Wood, 40 Thatch and 28 Fiber, and the ARK Wiki notes that Fungal Wood can replace the Wood. Each craft lasts 2 seconds and grants 6 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, for example the Genesis Green and Genesis Orange crates.

Building with it

The wall can be set on any Foundation, a Wooden Foundation, another wall, or a Ceiling, though not on a Thatch Roof. Whatever is built on top of it can reach 2 ceilings out along either horizontal axis, and 1 ceiling diagonally when the wall stands directly over a foundation. While placing it, press the use key to flip its orientation. Losing the wall brings down the pieces it supports, and when it was demolished, those pieces give nothing back.

What cannot hurt it

As a wooden structure, it takes no damage from bare hands, from stone weapons or from non-explosive ranged attacks. The ARK Wiki also lists aggressive creatures that cannot damage it, among them the Raptor, Sabertooth, Direwolf, Thylacoleo, Kaprosuchus and Pulmonoscorpius.
