Wood Elevator Top Switch — Detailed Guide
The piece that makes an elevator work
The Wood Elevator Top Switch caps a 
Wood Elevator Track and turns it into a working elevator in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. In-game it says: "Attach to the top of a Wood Elevator Track to complete an Elevator!" The ARK Wiki says it was introduced in Aberration and lists it on Fjordur, Lost Island, Valguero, Genesis: Part 2 and Crystal Isles as well.
Placing and using the switch
- Position: once the tracks are up, it goes on the highest track piece.
- Support: the wiki notes it must be beside or on a foundation to count as supported, unless the first track already stands on a foundation.
- Lifting: with an
Elevator Platform on the tracks, standing in front of the switch and pressing E again and again raises the platform slowly. - Access: the radial menu can lock the switch or open it to public use.
Engram and recipe
The engram unlocks at level 20 for 16 engram points, and crafting it also requires level 20. One switch costs:
- 125

Fungal Wood) - 200
Fiber - 35
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot)
It is made in a 
Smithy or an 
Argentavis Saddle, takes 5 seconds and gives 1 XP.
