Tek Triangle Ceiling — Detailed Guide
A Tek ceiling in triangle shape
In ARK: Survival Ascended this piece is called the Tek Quarter & Triangle Ceiling, while ARK: Survival Evolved names it the 
Tek Triangle Ceiling. It is a very durable composite ceiling that insulates and can also serve as the floor of a level above. The wiki counts it as the fourth triangle ceiling players can unlock. As a ceiling it shelters from the elements and adds to both hypothermic and hyperthermic insulation.
Unlocking and recipe
Its blueprint is a Tekgram that bosses award. One ceiling takes:
- 50
Element Shard (or 
Red Element Shard) - 25
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 12
Polymer (
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule also work) - 10
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal)
Crafting takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) and gives 12.8 XP. The wiki infobox names the 
Exo-Mek as a place to craft it and dates the piece to version 293.100.
Placement and support
It can rest on a wall, a pillar, a foundation or another ceiling, and further Tek Triangle Ceilings snap along the first when there is room. Support has to come from a foundation or pillar nearby: a ceiling reaches out at most 2 ceilings along the x or y axis, and 1 diagonally, from a wall or ceiling that sits straight above a connected foundation or pillar. The pieces at the outer ends of such a span cannot hold walls. Destroying a ceiling also destroys every building piece resting on it for support, and when that happens through demolishing, those extra pieces refund no resources.
What can damage it
As a Tek structure it only takes damage from these: Titans and Bosses, explosives, Tek Saddles and the 
Tek Rifle, Enraged Creatures and Corrupted Creatures, the 
DodoRex, a 
Titanosaur or an 
Arthropluera.
Weight, maps and loot
Each piece weighs 2 and they stack to 100, a full stack weighing 200. Our records list it on 14 maps, from The Island and Scorched Earth to Astraeos and Lost Colony, and 20 crate types can contain it, for example the Genesis Purple and Genesis Orange crates on Genesis Part 2.
