Tek Triangle Roof — Detailed Guide
A sloped triangular Tek roof
The Tek Triangle Roof & Corner, named 
Tek Triangle Roof in ARK: Survival Evolved, is a triangular Tek roof piece in both ASE and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its in-game description is brief: "A sloped Tek triangle roof." The ARK Wiki notes that it shields from the elements and adds to both hypothermic and hyperthermic insulation.
Unlocking and crafting
It is unlocked through a Tekgram that comes as a boss reward. The wiki gives this recipe:
- 20
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 5
Cementing Paste or 
Achatina Paste - 25
Element Shard or 
Red Element Shard
The 
Exo-Mek is named as a place to craft it. A craft takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) and gives 4.56 XP. Each roof weighs 4 and stacks to 100; a full stack weighs 400.
Placing the roof
- Its surface is slightly inclined, unlike the
Tek Triangle Ceiling. - Once one roof is down, more of them can snap on next to it and line up, as long as there is room.
- A foundation or pillar nearby has to support a roof before it can be placed.
- Nothing can be built on it except Signs and Billboards.
Damage, maps and loot
Only certain sources can hurt it. The ARK Wiki lists Titans, Bosses, Explosives, Tek Saddles, the 
Tek Rifle, the 
Titanosaur, Corrupted Creatures and the 
DodoRex among the sources that can damage this Tek structure.
Our records list it on 14 maps, including The Island, Scorched Earth, Lost Colony and Astraeos, and 20 crate types can contain it, such as the Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Red crates on Genesis Part 2. It was added in version 293.100.
