Stone Irrigation Pipe - Vertical

Water up and down a cliff

ARK: Survival Ascended calls this piece Stone Irrigation Pipe (Vertical), and ARK: Survival Evolved names it Stone Irrigation Pipe - Vertical. Its description: "A vertical stone pipe for an irrigation network, used for transporting water up and down cliffs." It can sit on a ceiling or a foundation, or join onto another pipe. The ARK Wiki adds that attaching it to ceilings and foundations is mostly about lining up irrigation neatly, in farms above all.

Making the pipe

The engram unlocks at level 17 for 3 engram points, and level 17 is also needed to craft it. Each pipe costs 5 Stone, is made in the inventory in 3 seconds and gives 0.4 XP. One weighs 1 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 100. Our records count 52 loot crates that can contain it, for example Fjordur Green on Fjordur and Aberration White on Aberration and Valguero.

What it connects to

The wiki says it snaps to any stone or metal irrigation pipe, whether that is an intake, a tap, a straight, inclined or vertical piece, or an intersection. A Water Reservoir, stone or metal, and the Industrial Cooker accept it too.

Attacks it shrugs off

Although it is made from stone, the wiki says the game treats it as a wooden structure, and bare hands, stone weapons and ranged attacks without explosives cannot damage it. The wiki also names a long list of aggressive creatures that cannot damage it, for example the Raptor, Sabertooth, Direwolf, Titanoboa, Kaprosuchus, Piranha and Thylacoleo.
