Limestone — Detailed Guide
A calcium-rich stone in Primitive Plus
Limestone is a resource added by the Primitive Plus DLC in ARK: Survival Evolved. Its description: "A specialized rock that contains a high concentration of calcium or magnesium."
Mining Limestone
The ARK Wiki names metal-rich rocks as its source; those mostly sit on mountains or inside caves. A pickaxe of any kind will do. With the Obsidian Pickaxe the yield of Limestone rises significantly, but those rocks then give no Iron.
What it is made into
A Handmill turns it and Claystone into Clay, the material behind adobe and brick structures. It is also an ingredient of Fresh Cement. Our database lists 2 recipes that use it:
- Fresh Cement: 2 Limestone
- Alchemy Table: 50 Limestone
Weight and a known bug
Each piece weighs 0.01, a stack holds 100 and a full stack weighs 1. The wiki warns about a bug tied to server updates: Limestone harvested before a patch turns into a Null item that cannot be used, and it no longer stacks with Limestone gathered after the patch.
