Wooden Stairs — Detailed Guide
Stairs that switch to a ramp
Known as Wood Roof, Ramp & Stairs in ARK: Survival Ascended and as 
Wooden Stairs in ARK: Survival Evolved, this wooden piece lets survivors climb between floors. Its description: "Wooden stairs for travelling up or down levels. Can be switched to a ramp variant." It covers the area of 1 foundation in width and in length and rises 1.5 walls high, which the ARK Wiki says can make planning a build awkward at times.
Engram and crafting
The engram unlocks at level 12 for 3 engram points. The stairs are crafted in the inventory from:
- 60
Wood (or 
Fungal Wood) - 15
Thatch - 10
Fiber
The ARK Wiki gives a crafting time of 5 seconds, and each craft is worth 6.95 XP. One piece weighs 4 and a stack holds 100, for a full-stack weight of 400.
Building from the top down
Starting at the top is often simpler: surplus stairs then tend to pass through the floor, whereas building upward from the bottom leaves the piece sticking out above the surface you want to reach.
How tough the wood is
As a wooden structure, the stairs cannot be damaged by bare hands, stone weapons or ranged attacks that do not explode. A number of aggressive creatures cannot damage them either; the wiki names, among others, the 
Raptor, 
Sabertooth, 
Direwolf, 
Titanoboa, 
Terror Bird, 
Thylacoleo, 
Kaprosuchus and 
Pulmonoscorpius.
Loot and maps
54 crate types can contain them, for example Aberration Green, Astraeos Blue and Genesis Blue. Our records list 14 maps, including The Island, Extinction, Genesis Part 1 and Lost Island.
