Wood Ocean Platform — Detailed Guide
A floating base on open water
The Wood Ocean Platform is a building surface that floats on water. It was introduced with the Genesis: Part 1 expansion of ARK: Survival Evolved and is also found on Lost Island, Fjordur and Genesis: Part 2; the wiki infobox lists Aquatica as well. Its in-game text simply says "Floats on the surface of bodies of water."
Size and building on it
Of the two Ocean Platforms, this is the smaller one, spanning 14x14 foundations, and it can be set down anywhere on water. Every part of the square counts as foundation support, which lets builders lay ceilings across the 8x8 hole in the middle if they want. That central space is wide enough for a 
Megachelon, and players can use it as a docking bay.
Stone rules despite the name
Although it is called wood, the game treats the platform as a stone structure. Metal weapons do 5% damage to it, explosives 150%, a 
Ballista Turret 40% and a 
Cannon about 137%, while the 
Tek Sword reaches about 218%. Among creatures, a 
Titanosaur deals about 462%, a 
Dunkleosteus 15% and a 
Therizinosaur about 2% with its headbutt alone; the 
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern deal 300%.
Crafting and carrying
The engram unlocks at level 25 for 24 engram points, and the wiki infobox names the 
Argentavis Saddle as a crafting station. One platform needs:
- 2116
Wood (or 
Fungal Wood) - 560
Fiber - 324
Cementing Paste (or 
Achatina Paste) - 34
Shell Fragment
Crafting takes 5 seconds for 1 XP. A platform weighs 90 and a stack holds 3, so a full stack weighs 270. Our records list 93 crate types that can contain it, with the Genesis Part 2 crates in Blue, Cyan, Green, Orange, Purple and Red as examples. The wiki gives 306.41 as the version that added it.
