Steel Water Tower — Detailed Guide

Storing water in steel

The Steel Water Tower is a water storage structure from the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved. The ARK Wiki gives its capacity as up to 7,000 water. Its in-game text explains how it gets filled: "Attach this to pipes to store rain, irrigation, or manually deposited water for later use. Cannot be filled by other containers."

Put plainly, the tower is connected to a pipe network and keeps whatever rain, irrigation or hand-poured water reaches it until it is needed later; other containers cannot top it up.

Unlocking and crafting

The engram becomes available at level 50 for 15 engram points. A tower takes two ingredients:

  • 75 Steel Ingot (the Primitive Plus ingot, as the wiki recipe shows)
  • 10 Cementing Paste

Crafting one lasts 3 seconds and rewards 10 XP, and each craft yields a single tower.

Weight and stacking

A tower weighs 4 in the inventory and they stack to 100, so a full stack of 100 weighs 400.
