Plesiosaur Platform Saddle — Detailed Guide
An aquatic platform for structures
Instead of the regular 
Plesiosaur Saddle, a 
Plesiosaur in ARK: Survival Evolved or ARK: Survival Ascended can wear this platform version and carry structures on its back. The rider can still attack and harvest while the platform is fitted. The in-game text: "Equip a Plesiosaur with this to ride it. You can build structures on the large platform to make a mobile base."
Engram and cost
The engram sits at level 84 and costs 50 engram points, with the Plesiosaur Saddle as prerequisite in our records. The ARK Wiki lists the 
Smithy and the 
Argentavis Saddle for crafting. It takes 15 seconds and gives 462 XP. Ingredients:
- 680
Hide - 405
Fiber - 155
Silica Pearls or 
Silicate - 112
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 55
Cementing Paste or 
Achatina Paste
The saddle weighs 20, with 50 durability and an armor rating of 25. Our records count 218 crate types that can contain it, for example Astraeos Purple and Astraeos Red Bonus, list the Plesiosaur as a creature that drops it, and place it on 14 maps.
Limits of the platform
Vacuum Compartments: these cannot be placed on it, which the wiki calls perhaps its biggest limitation; to get full use out of the platform you need Scuba gear, or you drown.- Structure cap: 50 pieces, counting everything from foundations to
Remote Keypads and the ladders attached to the saddle. A 3x5 foundation layout fits on it. - Not allowed: a
Vault, an 
Industrial Forge, 
Auto Turrets, Pipes, the 
Behemoth Gateway and Crop Plots with 
Plant Species X. - Weight: items in storage on the saddle still count toward the load of the Plesiosaur, and since v256 so does the full weight of animals; creatures with weight reduction help.
- Removing or dyeing: neither is possible while any structure remains on the platform.
Beds and troughs on board
A 
Bed on the platform lets a player teleport to the Plesiosaur after dying or move between several Plesiosaur bases, unless the creature is near an enemy structure. A 
Feeding Trough on board feeds allied creatures nearby, and storage chests can be placed as well.
