Lumber Station — Detailed Guide
Turning logs into planks
The Lumber Station is a structure from the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved. The ARK Wiki gives its in-game text as converting wood logs into planks and beams.
How the station works
Per the wiki, wood placed in its inventory can become wood planks, or fresh firewood if you know that engram.
Building one
The engram unlocks at level 10 for 10 engram points. A station takes 5 seconds to craft, gives 7 XP and needs:
Wood
Thatch
FiberIt weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.
Placement and damage
The wiki lists a few placement rules. The station only goes on the ground, never on top of a structure, though half of it may sit inside one such as a foundation. It can be picked up and set down again whenever you like, even once the pickup timer has run out. It counts as a thatch structure, and anything except ranged attacks that are not explosive can damage it.
