Tent — Detailed Guide
Shelter that packs into your inventory
The Tent is a portable shelter in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, described in game as "A portable Tent where you can take cover in hostile environments". It came with Scorched Earth, and the ARK Wiki also lists it on Fjordur, Lost Island, Crystal Isles, Genesis: Part 2, Ragnarok and Valguero. It shields you from extreme weather with extra insulation; the wiki mentions sandstorms, superheat and the outdoor radiation of the Lunar Biome as moments when a quick refuge helps.
How warm it keeps you
The wiki puts its insulation at about 500 against heat and cold alike, beating even an Adobe house. Because it covers both, it suits Ragnarok, which has very cold areas as well as a desert. Placed on a Platform Saddle, though, it gives no insulation buff.
Crafting a tent
The engram unlocks at level 7 for 8 engram points. A tent is crafted in your inventory in 5 seconds, giving 2.5 XP, from:
Hide
Thatch
Wood
Fungal Wood
Fiber
SilkPitching and packing it
A placed tent can be picked up again. Inside it you can set down structures that would otherwise need a foundation, the Mortar And Pestle being the wiki's example. When you pick the tent up, those structures go back into your inventory, but any items stored in them are dropped.
The tent loses durability for as long as it stands, about 1 point every 25 seconds, so if nothing else damages it, it breaks within 2 hours and 5 minutes. It shows that it needs repair while placed, yet offers no repair option. Repairing it in the inventory does not work either: according to the wiki the crafting queue keeps trying again and uses up the materials each time without fixing it, until you stop the job.
Weight and loot
The tent weighs 24 in ASA and 8 in ASE, and it has a stack size of 1. Loot is another way to get one: 91 crate types can contain it, such as Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Purple on Genesis Part 2.
