Thatch Pillar — Detailed Guide

Support and stilts made of thatch

The Thatch Pillar is a building piece in ARK: Survival Ascended that unlocks at level 4. Its in-game text reads: "Adds structural integrity to the area it is build on. Can also act as stilts for buildings on inclines." That gives it two jobs: strengthening the spot where it is placed, and lifting a building up on sloped ground. On a hillside, the pillars can serve as the legs that a structure rests on.

Engram and recipe

The engram costs 3 engram points at level 4. Every pillar is made from:

A craft takes 5 seconds, produces one pillar and gives 0.84 XP. Thatch is the largest amount in the recipe, followed by Fiber, while the Wood cost stays at 2 per pillar.

Carrying pillars and maps

A single pillar weighs 2. Pillars stack to 100 per slot, and a full stack weighs 200. Our records list the Thatch Pillar on 9 maps: The Island, The Center, Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Aberration, Valguero, Extinction, Astraeos and Lost Colony.
