Wooden Wall — Detailed Guide
The second wall on offer
This wall has a different name in each game: ARK: Survival Evolved calls it the 
Wooden Wall, while ARK: Survival Ascended lists it as Wood Wall, Doorways & Windowframe. The ARK Wiki counts it as the second wall available to survivors. A wall gives a building its structure and closes off an area, and the in-game text says much the same: "A sturdy wooden wall that insulates the inside from the outside, separates rooms, and provides structural integrity."
Placement and support
A Wooden Wall can stand on any Foundation or Fence Foundation, on another wall, or on a ceiling, the Thatch Roof being the one exception. The use key flips the placement view before you set it down. Walls also hold up what sits above them: a wall lets the structure built on it reach out as far as 2 ceilings in each direction along the x and y axes, and 1 ceiling on the diagonal when the wall rests directly on top of a foundation.
Take care when removing one, as anything leaning on a wall for support is destroyed along with it. If the wall was demolished, those extra pieces give back no resources.
Crafting cost
The engram unlocks at level 11 for 7 engram points, and the wall is crafted in the inventory. One takes 2 seconds and gives 1.9 XP. Materials per wall:
- 40
Wood or 
Fungal Wood - 10
Thatch - 7
Fiber
A wall weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Loot crates are another source: 56 crate types can contain it, such as Aberration Green, Astraeos Blue and Fjordur Green. Our records place it on 14 maps.
What can hurt it
As a wooden structure it is immune to bare hands, stone weapons and ranged attacks that do not explode. Many aggressive creatures cannot damage it either; the wiki's list includes the 
Raptor, 
Direwolf, 
Sabertooth, 
Thylacoleo, 
Kaprosuchus and 
Titanoboa.
