Wasteland Structures

Restyling a base in Wasteland style

With the Wasteland Structures skin, a survivor in ARK: Survival Ascended can give many building pieces a Wasteland look. In the game's words: "You can use this to skin the appearance of many Structures in a Wasteland-style." The ARK Wiki ties it to the Wasteland War adventure pack, which is part of the Bob's Tall Tales DLC, and equipping it requires that DLC. Our records list it on 9 maps.

Getting and applying it

Anyone who has bought Bob's Tall Tales finds the skin in the cosmetics tab of their inventory. Pick it from the cosmetics menu or the hotbar, then lay it over each structure you want restyled. It has no resource tier restriction, and its several modes are switched with R.

Pieces it can restyle

The wiki's list of compatible structures is long. Some examples:

• foundations in standard, quarter, triangle and quarter triangle shapes, plus ceilings, walls, windowframes and windows
• doorways, including double and secret ones, and doors, among them cellar, barn and hangar doors in normal and large sizes
• roofs, ramps, sloped walls, stairs, staircases, pillars, beams and railings
• hatch frames, trapdoors, ladders, fence foundations and fence supports
• gates and gateways in standard and behemoth sizes
• storage: the Storage Box, Large Storage Box and Vault
• furniture: the Fancy Sofa, Fancy Armchair, Saloon Table, Saloon Chair, Wood Bench, Wood Chair and Wood Table

What it does not cover

A few pieces that seem like obvious matches are not compatible: barrel storage, Tek Dedicated Storage, cliff platforms and tree platforms, and water intakes and taps.
