Metal Triangle Roof — Detailed Guide
A sloped metal piece for triangular builds
The 
Metal Triangle Roof is a metal building piece in ARK: Survival Evolved; ARK: Survival Ascended lists it as Metal Triangle Roof & Corner. Its description is short: "A sloped metal triangle roof." The ARK Wiki says it protects from the elements and gives bonuses to both hypothermic and hyperthermic insulation.
Placing it
Unlike the 
Metal Triangle Ceiling, this piece sits at a slight incline. It can only be placed with a foundation or pillar close by to support it. After the first one is down, more Metal Triangle Roofs snap along it and line up, as long as there is room. Apart from Signs and Billboards, no structure can be placed on top of a triangle roof.
Crafting the roof
The engram unlocks at level 47 for 10 engram points, and crafting also requires level 47. A 
Smithy or an 
Exo-Mek builds it from:
Metal Ingot
Scrap Metal Ingot
Cementing Paste
Achatina PasteEach craft takes 2 seconds and gives 4.56 XP. The wiki gives 293.100 as the version that added it.
Weight, loot and damage
A roof weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records list it on 14 maps and in 74 crate types, such as the Aberration Red and Aberration Surface Yellow crates. As a metal structure it can only be hurt by Titans, Bosses, the 
DodoRex, a 
Titanosaur, 
Arthropluera, Corrupted and Enraged Creatures, explosives, the 
Tek Rifle and Tek Saddles.
