Medium Tek Teleporter

Teleporting survivors and tames

The Medium Tek Teleporter sends survivors and tamed creatures between Tek Teleporters in ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki counts it among the ASA structures that move them across the map. The game text: "Allows instantaneous traversal between Teleporters! Requires Tek Generator to power, and Element & Tek Engram to use."

Power and size rules

Using the teleporter costs nothing per trip, according to the wiki, but it has to be powered by a Tek Generator. The destination matters too: a teleporter can only send you to one of equal or larger size. As a Tek structure it only takes damage from explosives, Tek Saddles, the Tek Rifle, Titans, Bosses, the DodoRex, Corrupted and Enraged Creatures, the Titanosaur and the Arthropluera.

Tekgram and materials

The engram comes from a Tekgram, which our records list as a boss reward. The teleporter is built in a Tek Replicator and gives 16 XP. It takes these materials, with the alternatives the wiki accepts:

• 1250 Metal Ingot (or Scrap Metal Ingot)
• 600 Polymer, Organic Polymer, or Corrupted Nodule
• 300 Crystal (or Primal Crystal)
• 75 Black Pearl
• 45 Element (or Red Element)

It weighs 4 and does not stack. Our records place it on 9 maps, for example The Island, Extinction, Astraeos and Valguero.
