TEK Window — Detailed Guide
Tek plates for a Tek Windowframe
The TEK Window, named Tek Window in ARK: Survival Evolved and TEK Window in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a Tek structure that fills a 
Tek Windowframe. Once set in place it guards the opening against projectiles and against anyone trying to look in. Its in-game text: "Tek plates that cover windows to provide protection from projectiles and spying."
Tekgram and crafting
The Tekgram is earned by defeating the 
Megapithecus or the 
Crystal Wyvern Queen on easy difficulty. The wiki infobox names the 
Exo-Mek as a place to craft it. One craft takes 45 seconds, grants 2 XP and produces 4 windows from:
- 40
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal) - 16
Polymer (or 
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule) - 1
Element (or 
Red Element)
Weight, stacks and loot
Each window weighs 4 and stacks hold 100, so a full stack comes to 400. Our records list 20 crate types that can contain it; the listed examples are all Genesis Part 2 crates, such as Genesis Blue, Green, Orange and Red. The wiki gives 255.0 as the version that added it.
Toughness and quirks
As a Tek structure it only takes damage from explosives, the 
Tek Rifle, Tek Saddles, Titans, bosses, corrupted and enraged creatures, an 
Arthropluera, a 
Titanosaur or the 
DodoRex. A house's insulation does not depend on its windows: open, shut or absent, they make no difference. Dyeing it black gives a different result, as with the 
Tek Door and other Tek openings: the color then shows as magenta.
