Sink — Detailed Guide
An irrigation sink from Primitive Plus
The Sink is a Primitive Plus structure for ARK: Survival Evolved that taps into an irrigation network. Its description: "This metal sink allows access to the water in an irrigation network. Can refill containers, irrigate crop plots, or provide a refreshing drink." The ARK Wiki adds that players can drink from it or fill canteens at it.
Engram and crafting
Our records put the engram at level 30 for 5 engram points, and the wiki agrees on the 5 points. The wiki names the 
Construction Table (Primitive Plus) as the crafting station. A sink takes 3 seconds to make, gives 3.78 XP and costs:
- 5
Metal Ingot - 40
Stone - 30 Q+ Lumber
It weighs 7.5 and stacks to 100, a full stack weighing 750.
Known problems with the Sink
The wiki warns that, at present, the Sink has neither an in-game model nor collision: after you place it, nobody can see it or touch it, although water can be heard gurgling. Removing it after placement can be hard, and putting down many of them can cause lag. The wiki suggests it can still serve as a water sound effect in spots that lack creeks, rivers or ocean. It also reports that an update made the Sink unavailable; PS4 players can still spawn it in, but it stays invisible and cannot be used.
