Metal Catwalk — Detailed Guide
A metal walkway between parts of a base
The Metal Catwalk gives builders in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended a narrow metal walkway between areas. The game describes it as "A thin walkway for bridging areas together. Made from metal plates." The ARK Wiki also calls it a decorative block that players can walk across.
Placement rules
Like a Ceiling, it reaches at most two spaces out from a foundation. Compared with ceilings, catwalks differ in cost and size, and they cannot be attached to a pillar.
Crafting a catwalk
The engram unlocks at level 47 for 18 engram points. The recipe is a single ingredient, 15 
Metal Ingot (
Scrap Metal Ingot also works), and each catwalk takes 3 seconds and gives 3.6 XP. The ARK Wiki lists the 
Smithy and the 
Argentavis Saddle as crafting places. A catwalk weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.
What can damage it
It counts as a metal structure. According to the ARK Wiki, only explosives, the 
Tek Rifle and Tek Saddles can harm it, along with the 
Titanosaur, 
Arthropluera, 
DodoRex, Titans, Bosses, Corrupted Creatures and Enraged Creatures.
In loot
Our records count 49 crate types that can contain it, for example Aberration Purple, Aberration Red Bonus and Aberration Yellow, found on Aberration, Valguero and Crystal Isles.
