Sloped Stone Roof

An angled roof for stone builds

The Sloped Stone Roof is the tilted roof piece among the stone building parts of ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its in-game text reads: "An inclined stone roof. Slightly different angle than the ramp." Set overhead, it keeps the weather off and raises insulation against both heat and cold.

Placing it

Where a Stone Ceiling lies flat, this piece is tilted and goes together with the Sloped Walls. It needs a foundation or pillar nearby for support before it can be placed. After the first one is down, more Sloped Stone Roofs snap along its edge so the row lines up, as long as there is space for them. Apart from Signs and Billboards, nothing can be built on top of a sloped roof.

Crafting cost and weight

The engram unlocks at level 27 for 4 engram points, and the roof is crafted in your inventory from:

• 60 Stone
• 30 Wood (or Fungal Wood)
• 20 Thatch

Each craft takes 4 seconds and grants 8 XP. A roof weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records list 44 crate types that can contain it, for example the Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Red crates of Genesis Part 2.

What can still damage it

Stone pieces share the durability of their wooden counterparts but receive significantly less damage, whatever the source. The ARK Wiki lists what can still harm this roof, with damage shares such as:

• explosives (150%) and the Cannon (~137%)
• metal weapons (5%) and the Tek Sword (~218%)
• the Titanosaur and the Defense Unit (~462%)
• the DodoRex and the Dodo Wyvern (300%)
• Alpha Creatures and Bosses (10%)

The Arthropluera, Magmasaur, Roll Rat and Managarmr are on that list too. The Giganotosaurus (15%), the Tek Rifle (~50%) and the Rock Elemental can damage stone even though they cannot hurt auto turrets.
