TEK Catwalk — Detailed Guide
A Tek walkway between structures
The TEK Catwalk (spelled Tek Catwalk in ARK: Survival Evolved) is a thin Tek building piece listed for both ARK: Survival Ascended and ASE. Players can walk across it, and it also serves as a decorative block. The game describes it as "A thin walkway for bridging areas together. Made from advanced Tek materials."
Placement rules
A catwalk follows the same reach as a ceiling: it can only be set down up to two spaces out from a foundation. Compared with a ceiling, it has a different cost and size, and it cannot connect to a pillar.
Tekgram and recipe
The Tekgram comes from beating 
Broodmother Lysrix on medium difficulty. The ARK Wiki names the 
Exo-Mek as a place to craft it. One craft takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes), gives 7.5 XP and yields 4 catwalks from:
- 40
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule - 72
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 20
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal - 1
Element
Weight, loot and damage
Each catwalk weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records list 20 loot crates that can contain it, among them the Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Red crates of Genesis Part 2.
It counts as a Tek structure. According to the ARK Wiki, the only things that can damage it are the 
DodoRex, Titans, Bosses, Corrupted and Enraged Creatures, the 
Titanosaur, the 
Arthropluera, Tek Saddles, the 
Tek Rifle and explosives.
