Stone Fence Foundation — Detailed Guide
Narrow stone foundations for walls
Fence foundations let survivors run a line of walls around an area, such as a pen for their dinos. This stone piece is called Stone Fence Foundation & Support in ARK: Survival Ascended and 
Stone Fence Foundation in ARK: Survival Evolved, and the ARK Wiki presents it as an upgrade of the 
Wooden Fence Foundation. In the game's words: "This strong, narrow foundation is used to build walls around an area."
Placing and snapping
The usual order is to lay the fence foundation first and then set a wall section on top of it. The piece sits directly on the ground, snaps to foundations as well as to other fence foundations, and can be snapped at 45-degree angles. Take care when it is destroyed: any building pieces resting on it are destroyed too, and if it was removed with the demolish option, those extra pieces refund no resources.
How much punishment stone takes
Stone pieces have the same durability as their wooden equivalents but take significantly less damage from every source. Metal tools deal only 1 damage to this foundation, compared with 20 against a Wooden Fence Foundation, and stone walls built on top of stone fence foundations form a barrier that players find very hard to break without explosives. The wiki's list of what can still harm it gives a percentage for many entries, for example:
- metal weapons 5%, the
Ballista Turret 40% and explosives 150% - the
Cannon about 137% and the 
Tek Sword about 218% - Alpha Creatures and bosses 10%, the
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern 300%, the 
Titanosaur about 462% - the
Giganotosaurus 15%, the 
Tek Rifle about 50% and the 
Rock Elemental, which can damage stone but not auto turrets
Engram, recipe and storage
The engram unlocks at level 25 for 6 engram points and requires the Wooden Fence Foundation engram. The piece is crafted in the survivor's inventory from 15 
Stone, 10 
Wood (or 
Fungal Wood) and 10 
Thatch, and gives 3 XP; the wiki and our ASE record give a crafting time of 5 seconds. Each piece weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records list it on 14 maps and count 86 crate types that can contain it, such as the Aberration Blue and Aberration Surface Blue crates.
