Vacuum Compartment Moonpool — Detailed Guide
An underwater room with a way in from below
The 
Vacuum Compartment Moonpool, listed as Vacuum Compartment & Moonpool in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a Tek structure for building underwater in both ASA and ARK: Survival Evolved. In-game description: "Place underwater, power with Tek Generator, and you can live and breath in it! Has opening at the bottom for direct swimming access." The ARK Wiki adds that it behaves just like the ordinary 
Vacuum Compartment; the difference is a hatch in its floor that lets survivors swim straight into the underwater base.
Getting the Tekgram
This piece is unlocked through a Tekgram. The wiki says it comes from defeating the Alpha version of either the 
Dragon or the 
Crystal Wyvern Queen.
What one compartment costs
The wiki recipe accepts several substitutes:
- 360
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 180
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal - 136
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule - 32
Black Pearl - 2
Element or 
Red Element
A craft takes 5 seconds, yields one compartment and gives 1 XP; the wiki infobox lists the 
Exo-Mek as a place to craft it. Each one weighs 4, and stacks are capped at 5, so a full stack weighs 20.
Loot and what can damage it
Our records count 12 loot crates that can contain it, among them Mission 'Bulbdog Fetch' Hard, Mission 'Ferox Cull' Hard and Mission 'Maewing Poach' Hard on Genesis Part 2.
According to the wiki, it counts as a Tek structure, and only explosives, the 
Tek Rifle, Tek Saddles, bosses, titans, the 
DodoRex, enraged or corrupted creatures, a 
Titanosaur and an 
Arthropluera can damage it.
