Wooden Fence Foundation — Detailed Guide
A narrow base for walls and fences
Wood Fence Foundation & Support is a building piece in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended; the ASE name is 
Wooden Fence Foundation. The ASA item text puts it plainly: "This very cheap, narrow foundation is used to build fences around an area." The ASE text is shorter and only names it as a wooden fence foundation.
Placing a fence line
You put the fence foundation down first and then set a wall section on it, for example to enclose a pen for your creatures. It can sit straight on the ground, snaps to regular foundations as well as to other fence foundations, and can be turned in 45 degree steps. What goes on top is limited to walls, fences and pieces shaped like walls; a ceiling cannot be placed on it.
If the foundation is destroyed, every piece that depends on it for support goes with it, and when that happens through the demolish option, those extra pieces refund nothing.
Engram and materials
The engram unlocks at level 11 for 6 engram points, and the piece is crafted in the player's inventory from:
- 10
Wood (
Fungal Wood also works) - 3
Thatch - 2
Fiber
Crafting gives 1.19 XP. One piece weighs 4 and they stack to 100, a full stack coming to 400.
Damage and loot
As a wooden structure it cannot be hurt by bare hands, stone weapons or ranged attacks that are not explosive. Many aggressive creatures cannot damage it either; the ARK Wiki names the 
Direwolf, 
Raptor, 
Terror Bird, 
Sabertooth and 
Velonasaur among others. Loot is another source: 56 crate types can contain it, including Astraeos Blue, Fjordur Green and Aberration Green crates. Our records list it on 14 maps, from The Island and Scorched Earth to Fjordur and Lost Island.
