Single Panel Flag

A flag that marks tribe ground

The Single Panel Flag is a placeable flag with one solid canvas in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its item text asks you to claim your tribe's territory by setting it down and painting it, and the ARK Wiki notes that it often serves to identify a tribe or an area.

Placement rules

It needs no foundation, which means it does not interfere with natural resources spawning, and it will not snap onto other structures. Unlike Boss Flags, this flag cannot be picked up again after placing; it can only be demolished.

Painting a logo

After placing it you can draw a logo on the flag or load one from an existing image. Compared with the Multi-Panel Flag, its display area is a little larger, simple region coloring gives the flag area a single color, and the crossbars can be painted too. To load an ARK PNT file, the file name needs the suffix _Flag_Sm_Single_C; the image resolution is 256x256, and in-game the aspect ratio is 1:1.33.

Crafting and loot

The engram unlocks at level 7 for 6 engram points, and the flag is crafted in your inventory for 1 XP. In ASE it takes 5 seconds and costs:

• 100 Fiber
• 30 Thatch
• 20 Hide
• 10 Wood or Fungal Wood

Our ASA record lists 10 Wood or Fungal Wood, 100 Fiber and 20 Hide. A flag weighs 4 and a stack holds 100, 400 for a full stack. Our records count 44 crate types that can contain it, for example the Genesis Blue, Genesis Cyan and Genesis Purple crates on Genesis Part 2.

As a wooden structure it cannot be harmed by non-explosive ranged attacks, stone weapons or bare hands, and the wiki names aggressive creatures that cannot damage it either, among them the Raptor, Direwolf and Terror Bird.
