Spinning Mule — Detailed Guide

A Primitive Plus machine for fabric

The Spinning Mule is a structure from the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved. Its in-game description: "A machine used to spin fiber and cotton into various items". According to the ARK Wiki, it is used to turn Fiber into Fabric. The in-game text names cotton as an input as well, while the usage section of the wiki mentions only Fiber.

Building one

Its engram sits at level 30 and costs 5 engram points. The ARK Wiki lists the Construction Table from Primitive Plus as the place to craft it, from:

  • 25 Steel Ingot
  • 15 Hide

Crafting takes 5 seconds and earns 7.25 XP. As an item, the Spinning Mule weighs 4 and stacks to 100, which puts a full stack at 400.

Known problems with the structure

The wiki carries two warnings. At present the structure has no in-game model or collision: once placed, it is invisible and cannot be touched. On PS4 and Xbox, the wiki adds, the Fabric engram has arrived while the Spinning Mule itself is still missing from those versions.
