Tek Railing — Detailed Guide
The final railing tier
Of the railings a survivor can unlock in ARK: Survival Evolved, the Tek Railing is the fourth and last, part of the Tek tier building set. The game describes it as "A composite Tek railing that acts as a simple barrier to prevent people from falling."
A boss reward, not a level unlock
The recipe comes as a Tekgram rather than through levels. The ARK Wiki ties it to defeating 
Broodmother Lysrix on beta difficulty.
Materials
Each railing takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) to craft and gives 5 XP. The wiki recipe lists:
Metal Ingot
Scrap Metal Ingot
Cementing Paste
Achatina PasteOur records add 25 
Element Shard to this, an ingredient the wiki infobox does not show. The ARK Wiki lists the 
Exo-Mek as one place to craft it.
Placement and toughness
It goes on any Foundation or Fence Foundation, and railings can be stacked into taller barriers or even cages. As a Tek structure, it can be damaged only by a short list: Explosives and the 
Tek Rifle, Tek Saddles, Titans and Bosses, Corrupted Creatures and Enraged Creatures, plus the 
Titanosaur, the 
Arthropluera and the 
DodoRex.
Storage and loot
A railing weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records count 20 crate types that can contain it, such as Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Red on Genesis Part 2, and place it on 14 maps.
