Metal Ramp — Detailed Guide
Between floors, or as a roof
Ramps connect the levels of a building, and the Metal Ramp is the metal version in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Besides linking one floor with the next, it can give a building a slanted roof. The description: "An inclined metal-plated concrete floor for travelling up or down levels. Can also be used to make an angled roof."
Size and fitting
A ramp covers 1 foundation in width and 1 in length but rises 1.5 walls, a height that can make planning awkward. The wiki suggests building ramps from the top down: the leftover length then usually passes through the floor, whereas a ramp built upward tends to stick out over the surface it is meant to meet.
Crafting cost
The engram unlocks at level 47 for 12 engram points, and the same level is needed to craft it. Each ramp takes 35 
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) and 10 
Cementing Paste (or 
Achatina Paste), and crafting takes 5 seconds for 16 XP. The 
Smithy is the main station; the wiki adds the 
Argentavis Saddle, the 
Thorny Dragon Saddle, the 
Castoroides Saddle, the 
Exo-Mek and the 
Tek Replicator. A ramp weighs 4, so a stack of 100 weighs 400. 48 crate types can contain it, including the Aberration Blue, Aberration Purple and Aberration Red crates.
Damage it can take
Being metal, it shrugs off most attacks. Explosives can damage it, as can Titans and Bosses, the 
Tek Rifle or Tek Saddles, the 
DodoRex, Enraged Creatures and Corrupted Creatures, the 
Titanosaur and the 
Arthropluera.
