Storage Box — Detailed Guide
A first container for any base
The Storage Box is the earliest container you can unlock in ARK: Survival Evolved, and it exists in ARK: Survival Ascended as well. The game sums it up in one line: "A small box to store goods in." It holds up to 15 separate item stacks no matter how heavy they are, which makes it a natural first home for spare resources.
Where it can be placed
It needs no foundation and takes up a 1x1 footprint, so it can go down almost anywhere. The ARK Wiki adds that it may even stand beside a hostile behemoth gateway or close to foundations owned by an enemy.
Locks and weak points
A PIN code keeps casual looters out. The catch is that a raider then has to break the box to reach its contents, and whatever they leave behind decays on the ground. Despite looking wooden, the box takes damage as a thatch structure, so anything apart from non-explosive ranged attacks can hurt it.
Recipe and stack numbers
The engram unlocks at level 4 for 6 engram points. Crafting one takes 5 seconds, gives 3.7 experience and uses:
- 25
Wood (
Fungal Wood also works) - 20
Thatch - 10
Fiber
An unplaced box weighs 4, and 100 fit in one stack for a total of 400. Loot can also supply it: 49 crate types can contain one, for example the coloured Genesis crates on Genesis Part 2. When more room is needed, related containers include the Large Storage Box and the Wooden Cabinet.
