Metal Ocean Platform — Detailed Guide

A floating foundation for sea bases

The Metal Ocean Platform floats on open water and is the bigger of the two ocean platforms in ARK: Survival Evolved. It came with Genesis: Part 1, and our records place it on Genesis Part 1, Genesis Part 2, Lost Island and Fjordur, while the ARK Wiki also lists Aquatica. The in-game text is brief: "Floats on the surface of bodies of water."

Size and building on it

Its footprint is 20x20 foundations, and it can go anywhere on water. There is a 14x14 gap in the middle, but the whole square provides foundation support, so ceilings can fill the gap for a solid deck. One oddity noted on the ARK Wiki: a Tek Sword seems to damage the platform when used from the center of a deck that has been completely filled with ceilings.

Engram and cost

Learn the Wood Ocean Platform first; the metal version then unlocks at level 53 for 50 engram points. It is a costly build:

1500 Metal Ingot (or Scrap Metal Ingot)
375 Cementing Paste (or Achatina Paste)
300 Wood (or Fungal Wood)
25 Polymer (Organic Polymer or Corrupted Nodule also work)

Build it at a Smithy, on an Argentavis, Castoroides or Thorny Dragon saddle, or in a Tek Replicator or Exo-Mek. It takes 5 seconds and gives 1 XP.

Moving it

Each platform weighs 90 and they stack to 3, so a full stack weighs 270. It can also be found in loot: 87 crate types can contain one, including Genesis crates on Genesis Part 2 such as Genesis Blue and Genesis Red.
