Metal Irrigation Pipe - Flexible — Detailed Guide
A pipe that links up by itself
The Metal Irrigation Pipe - Flexible is an irrigation structure for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. In-game it reads: "Connects nearby pipes dynamically." Placed close to two or more pipe ends, it hooks up to them on its own.
Crafting the flexible pipe
The engram unlocks at level 40 and costs 18 engram points. The pipe is made in a 
Smithy, and each one needs:
Metal Ingot
Scrap Metal Ingot
Cementing Paste
Achatina PasteA craft takes 3 seconds and gives 0.6 XP.
Refreshing the connection
When the pipe network around it changes, the pipe can be hooked up again with its Refresh Connection option. That reattaches it to nearby metal or stone pipes of any kind, whether straight, inclined, vertical, intake, intersection or another flexible piece, and restores the water path for irrigation.
Weight, loot and toughness
A pipe weighs 1 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 100. 44 crate types can contain it, among them the Genesis Blue, Genesis Orange and Genesis Red crates of Genesis Part 2. As a metal structure, it takes damage only from a short list of sources: Titans, bosses, the 
DodoRex, a 
Titanosaur, 
Arthropluera, Tek Saddles, the 
Tek Rifle, explosives, and corrupted or enraged creatures.
