Wooden Triangle Roof

A sloped triangle roof in wood

ARK: Survival Ascended calls this piece the Wood Triangle Roof; in ARK: Survival Evolved it is the Wooden Triangle Roof. The ASE description reads "A wood, sloped triangle roof.", while the ASA one just names it a wooden triangle roof. The ARK Wiki says it shields against the elements and gives bonuses to both hypothermic and hyperthermic insulation.

Placing the roof

Compared with the Wooden Triangle Ceiling, this roof sits at a slight incline. It needs support from a foundation or pillar nearby before it can be placed. Once the first one is down, further roofs can snap along it and line up with it, provided there is enough room. Apart from Signs and Billboards, nothing can be placed on triangle roofs.

Crafting

The engram unlocks at level 14 for 4 engram points. The roof is crafted in the player's inventory from 40 Wood or Fungal Wood, 10 Thatch and 7 Fiber; a craft takes 2 seconds and gives 1.856 XP. Each roof weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.

Loot, maps and damage

Our records count 44 loot crates that can contain it, among them the Genesis Green, Orange and Red crates of Genesis Part 2, and list it on 14 maps. The wiki gives 293.100 as the version that added it. As a wooden structure it shrugs off hands, stone weapons and ranged attacks without explosives, and the wiki lists aggressive creatures that cannot damage it, for example the Thylacoleo, Titanomyrma, Onyc, Pachy and Vulture.
