Stone Staircase — Detailed Guide
Spiral stairs in stone
The Stone Staircase is a spiral staircase for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, used to get up to higher areas. Any foundation can hold it. The game describes it as "A stone spiral staircase, useful in constructing multi-level buildings."
Building one
The engram unlocks at level 28 for 15 engram points. One staircase needs 200 
Stone, 100 
Wood (
Fungal Wood also counts) and 75 
Thatch. Crafting takes 2 seconds and gives 2.7 XP. A staircase weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.
Loot is another source: 44 crate types can contain it, for example the Genesis Blue, Genesis Red and Genesis Cyan crates on Genesis Part 2.
What breaks stone stairs
It counts as a stone structure, so only certain weapons and creatures can damage it. The ARK Wiki gives a rate for many of them:
- Weapons and explosives: metal weapons (5%), the
Ballista Turret (40%), the 
Cannon (~137%), explosives (150%) and the 
Tek Sword (~218%) - Creatures with a rate: the
Therizinosaur, with its headbutt only (~2%), Alpha Creatures and Bosses (10%), the 
Dunkleosteus (15%), the 
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern (300%), and the 
Titanosaur (~462%) - Without a stated rate: Titans, the
Roll Rat, 
Managarmr, 
Magmasaur, 
Deathworm, 
Chalicotherium and 
Arthropluera, plus Astral, Corrupted and Enraged Creatures - Also listed: the
Defense Unit (~462%)
A few sources hurt stone but not auto turrets: the 
Giganotosaurus (15%), the 
Tek Rifle (~50%) and the 
Rock Elemental.
