If you want to know how to build an Ark Survival Evolved shelter, then we’ve got complete instructions for you below.
How to unlock Ark Survival Evolved shelter crafting
To begin Ark Survival Evolved shelter crafting, you need to unlock the Engrams that provide blueprints for the individual elements. Helpfully, the basic set of these unlock at Engram Tier 4, so you’ll only need to level up a few times to gain access to them. To construct a basic shelter, you’ll need the Thatch Foundation, Thatch Wall, and Thatch Ceiling, plus the Thatch Doorframe and Thatch Door if you want to be able to completely enclose and secure your dwelling.
How to collect materials to craft an Ark Survival Evolved shelter
Each individual section of your Ark Survival Evolved shelter requires a certain amount of materials to be gathered before they can be crafted, as follows:
- Thatch Foundation: 15 Fiber, 20 Thatch, 6 Wood
- Thatch Wall: 7 Fiber, 10 Thatch, 2 Wood
- Thatch Ceiling: 10 Fiber, 15 Thatch, 4 Wood
- Thatch Doorframe: 6 Fiber, 8 Thatch, 6 Wood
- Thatch Door: 4 Fiber, 7 Thatch
Fiber can be gathered by pressing the Use button (Triangle/Y) when near ground vegetation, while Thatch and Wood can be harvested by hitting trees with tools – using a Pick will mainly yield Thatch, while a Hatchet will give you mainly Wood. Once you have the required materials, all you need to do is go into the Crafting section of your Inventory, highlight the appropriate Engram, then follow the Craft prompt to generate it.
