Wooden Wall Sign — Detailed Guide
Short messages on a wall
The Wooden Wall Sign shows a short text message to other players in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. In the game's words, it is "A simple wooden wall sign for basic messages, requires attaching to a wall." The text can be changed as often as you like with the use key (E).
How much text fits
According to the ARK Wiki, a line holds about 30 characters before the text wraps; if there are no spaces, it runs off the side of the sign instead. The sign seems to accept up to 160 characters, and 6 lines is the most that fits: further lines run into the nails or off the sign.
Hanging it and adding a picture
The sign attaches straight to the face of a wall but does not snap to any structure, so place it with care, as the wall's texture can show through the sign. To load your own image, name an ARK PNT file with the suffix _Sign_Wall_Wood_C.pnt. The image is 128x128, and the sign shows it at an aspect ratio of 2.5:1.
Crafting a sign
The engram unlocks at level 19 for 2 engram points. One sign takes 3 
Wood (or 
Fungal Wood), 2 
Thatch and 2 
Fiber, and the craft lasts 5 seconds. Each sign weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Loot is another source: 50 crate types in our records can contain one, for example the Fjordur Green crates and the Genesis Blue and Genesis Green crates of Genesis Part 2.
What cannot damage it
The wiki treats the sign as a wooden structure: bare hands, stone weapons and ranged attacks that do not explode do it no harm. Several aggressive creatures cannot damage it either, among them the 
Raptor, 
Sabertooth, 
Direwolf, 
Titanoboa, 
Thylacoleo, 
Kaprosuchus and 
Terror Bird.
