Stone — Detailed Guide
A resource from the first minutes
Stone is one of the most basic resources in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Early tools and buildings depend on it, and it still shows up in late recipes. The description is brief: "A hefty chunk of stone." New players can also load it into the 
Slingshot, their earliest ranged weapon.
Gathering Stone
- By hand: loose stones on the ground can be picked up without tools.
- With tools: hitting rocks with a pick gives Stone, and a hatchet gets more out of them. A large rock does not necessarily yield more than a small one.
- With creatures: our records list the
Doedicurus and 
Ankylosaurus as gatherers. A Doedicurus can even collect on its own, either wandering or parked beside a suitable rock. - Other sources: the
Gacha often produces it, and 114 crate types can contain it, such as the Aberration White crates and the 
Astral Argentavis and Astral Carnotaurus tables.
Where it goes
Our records list 86 recipes using Stone in ASA and 132 in ASE. The wiki's list ranges from early tools such as the Stone Pick and 
Torch to stations such as the 
Campfire, 
Smithy, 
Cooking Pot, Mortar And Pestle, 
Preserving Bin and 
Refining Forge, plus Crop Plots, Stone Irrigation Pipes and every stone building piece. Some amounts from our data:
- 8 per craft of
Cementing Paste or 
Achatina Paste - 30 for a
Boulder and 15 for a 
Doedicurus Saddle - 80 for an
Equus Saddle, and 250 for a 
Ballista Turret in ASE - 450 for the
Behemoth Reinforced Dinosaur Gate in ASE and 900 for the Behemoth Stone 
Dinosaur Gateway in ASA
Weight and diet
Each piece weighs 0.5, so a full stack of 100 weighs 50. Stone is food as well as material: the 
Rock Elemental and the adult 
Magmasaur both eat it.
