Wooden Fence Support — Detailed Guide
A level base for fence walls
The Wooden Fence Support is a wooden building piece in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended that can be used to wall off an area, for example a pen that holds your dinos. Its description: "Acts as a foundation so you can build on fence walls. Doesn't follow ground so can build level fences."
Fence supports versus fence foundations
Fence Foundations follow the ground, but fence supports do not, so walls on top of them stay level. A support can be set straight onto the ground, snaps to foundations and to other fence supports, and can be snapped at 45 degree angles. On top, the support takes walls, fences and similar wall pieces only; a ceiling cannot go on fence walls.
Crafting the support
The engram is available from level 11 for 6 engram points. Made in the survivor's inventory in 5 seconds, each support costs 10 
Wood (or 
Fungal Wood), 3 
Thatch and 2 
Fiber, and gives 1.19 XP. It weighs 4, and 100 fit in a stack, which then weighs 400. Loot is another source: 44 crate types can contain it, for example the Genesis Orange and Genesis Purple crates on Genesis Part 2.
Damage and collapse
Being a wooden structure, it cannot be hurt by bare hands, stone weapons or ranged attacks that are not explosive. The ARK Wiki also names aggressive creatures that cannot damage it, such as the 
Direwolf, 
Ferox, 
Velonasaur, 
Raptor and 
Sabertooth. When a foundation is destroyed, the pieces that depend on it for support are destroyed too, and if it was removed with the demolish option, those extra pieces refund no resources.
