TEK Staircase — Detailed Guide
A spiral stair of the Tek tier
The TEK Staircase, called Tek Staircase in ARK: Survival Evolved, is part of the Tek tier building set and also appears in ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description reads: "A composite Tek spiral staircase, useful in constructing multi-level buildings." Players use it to reach higher areas, and any foundation can hold it.
Getting the Tekgram
The structure is unlocked with a Tekgram. According to the ARK Wiki, that Tekgram comes from defeating 
Broodmother Lysrix on medium difficulty.
Crafting and materials
Each staircase needs:
- 125
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 50
Element Shard or 
Red Element Shard - 35
Cementing Paste or 
Achatina Paste
Crafting takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) and gives 10 XP. The wiki names the 
Exo-Mek as one place to craft it. A staircase weighs 4 and stacks to 100, for 400 in a full stack. Loot also supplies it: 20 crate types can contain it, among them the Genesis Blue, Purple and Red crates on Genesis Part 2.
What can damage it
According to the wiki it counts as a Tek structure, and only a short list can damage it: Titans, bosses, the 
DodoRex, a 
Titanosaur or an 
Arthropluera, Corrupted and Enraged Creatures, explosives, the 
Tek Rifle and Tek Saddles.
