Trading Crate — Detailed Guide

A display crate for the Market Stall

The Trading Crate is a container from the Primitive Plus DLC, recorded for ARK: Survival Evolved. Its in-game text: "A small box to trade goods in. Can only be placed on market stall." The ARK Wiki describes it as storage that puts items on show for trading, and its infobox lists the Market Stall as the prerequisite for the engram.

Engram and crafting

Our records put the engram at level 32 for 2 engram points. A single crate costs:

Crafting takes 5 seconds, gives 3.7 XP and makes one crate. Our records list a weight of 4 and a stack size of 100, so a full stack of crates weighs 400.

Placing and using it

The crate can only be set on a Market Stall, the one structure that accepts it. Any item fits inside it, and the crate can be locked and unlocked. As a thatch structure, it can be damaged by everything except ranged attacks that do not explode.
