The Thatch Foundation is the most basic foundation. A foundation is required to build any kind of housing structure.

Construction[]

A Thatch Foundation can be placed on even or slightly uneven ground. Once the first Thatch Foundation is placed, subsequent Thatch Foundations can snap into place along the first one, allowing them to line up, provided that there is adequate room and ground to do so.

A foundation provides the structural support to allow the placement of walls, ceilings, and other such objects, but only when the foundation is directly underneath them. It also supports up to two ceilings in any direction on the x and y-axis, and up to 1 ceiling diagonally. However, the ceilings on the far end will not support walls.

Notes[]

  • If a foundation is destroyed, any building pieces that rely on it for support will be destroyed as well. If it is destroyed via the demolish option, no resources will be refunded for these extra building pieces.
  • Thatch structures are weak and provide very little protection against attacks by dinosaurs or other players.
  • Ark Mobile foundation allows 4 wall high construction.
  • The Thatch Foundation is treated as a thatch structure and can be damaged by anything except non-explosive ranged attacks.
