Tek Sleeping Pod — Detailed Guide
A powered bed from the Tek tier
The Tek Sleeping Pod is a Tek-tier bed in ARK: Survival Evolved that first came with Aberration; Genesis: Part 2 and Genesis: Part 1 have it as well. Its description: "This Tek-powered Chamber lets you rapidly recover vitals, and slowly gain XP even when sleeping. You can also sleep soundly within it, protected even while on a moving platform!" It serves as a respawn point and a fast-travel spot for a player and their tribe, and the wiki calls it the upgraded form of the 
Bunk Bed. As part of the Tek building set, it needs power from a 
Tek Generator before anyone can sleep in it; without power it still works as a fast-travel bed for every survivor, even those without the tekgram.
Unlocking and crafting
The tekgram comes from defeating Gamma Rockwell, and beating one of his harder versions also grants it. The pod is made in a Tek Replicator from:
- 320
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 280
Fiber - 200
Pelt, Hair, or Wool - 120
Hide - 80
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer, or 
Corrupted Nodule
Crafting takes 5 seconds and gives 50.8 XP. A pod weighs 4 and up to 3 stack together, for 12 in a full stack.
What sleeping inside does
- Health regenerates quickly, thirst and hunger refill, and torpor drops.
- Experience keeps coming in slowly, even while asleep and offline.
- Aberrant spore debuffs and radiation are cleared.
- Since v312.65, lying in a powered pod charges every
Cryopod in the player's inventory. - The occupant stays protected, also on a moving platform or platform saddle, as long as the pod has power.
Respawn and travel rules
The pod is not used up and any tribe member can reuse it, with a 2.5 minute cooldown that the wiki says is shorter than on the 
Simple Bed. Fast-travelling to another bed or sleeping bag drops everything the player carries at the starting bed. It holds a single player, unlike the Bunk Bed, and fits on foundations as well as ceilings. Our records show 20 crate types can contain it, among them Genesis Blue and Genesis Red on Genesis Part 2.
