The Motorboat is a Vehicle that allows for transportation on water. The Motorboat's surface is useful for establishing a mobile base, seeing as Structures , Beds , and Containers can be placed directly on top, though Foundations must be used to build some Structures upon it such as Walls .
Limitations [ ]
Structure limit: 135 (On private servers or in single player the limit can be increased via PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier )
Height limit: Survivors can build up to 8 walls high above the raft, and up to 80 walls below it.
Size limit: 13x13 (discluding the corners)
Notes/Trivia [ ]
If a Baryonyx stuns the Survivor driving the Motorboat whilst the Motorboat is moving forwards, it will continue to drive forward without a driver.

Sunday, february 27, 2022, motorboat vs raft - ark survival evolved.
The raft is an awesome way to explore a map in Ark Survival Evolved in relative safety, as long as you avoid Leeds and swamps infested with various crocodile-like animals. You can turn a humble raft into a compact and capable base. After years I finally got a look at the motorboat . It sort of snuck in under my radar and I discovered it there in my list of engrams.
Driving the motorboat in Ark Survival Evolved
Just like a raft, you can build on it, either by just placing campfires, storage boxes, etc. right on it, or you can put foundations down and build a proper base. As a mobile base, the motorboat would be great, especially on maps with a lot of water access, which is about half.
Resources to Craft the Motorboat
1,200 Metal Ingots
150 Obsidian
400 Polymer
60 Black Pearls
On the Ragnarok map this thing could really shine. The cost is full lined with metal nodes. Using the motorboat as a cargo ship could be really useful, and pay for the 1,200 metal ingots it costs in short order. The motorboat might be useful on the Island map too for hauling wood or stone around the coast. The Island doesn’t have any really fast beasts of burden.
Motorboat top view
I play PvE and I really don’t have much practical use for the Ark motorboat, by the time I can learn the engram. By that time I have enough dinos for harvesting and transport. However, maybe it will be time for a video series living on a raft, and then a motorboat. Hmmm.

Tracking Abortion Bans Across the Country
By The New York Times Updated June 13, 10:25 A.M. ET
Share full article
Twenty-one states ban abortion or restrict the procedure earlier in pregnancy than the standard set by Roe v. Wade, which governed reproductive rights for nearly half a century until the Supreme Court overturned the decision in 2022.
In some states, the fight over abortion access is still taking place in courtrooms, where advocates have sued to block bans and restrictions. Other states have moved to expand access to abortion by adding legal protections.
Latest updates
The United States Supreme Court upheld access to a widely available abortion pill, rejecting a bid from anti-abortion groups to undo federal approval of the medication. The pills account for nearly two-thirds of all abortions.
The New York Times is tracking abortion laws in each state after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization , which ended the constitutional right to an abortion.
Where abortion is legal
In a few states that have enacted bans or restrictions, abortion remains legal for now as courts determine whether these laws can take effect. Abortion is legal in the rest of the country, and many states have added new protections since Dobbs.
Ban in effect

An earlier version of this article misstated the legal status of abortion in Utah. As of 4 p.m. on June 24, the state attorney general had issued a statement saying the state’s abortion ban had been triggered, but it had not yet been authorized by the legislature’s general counsel. By 8:30 p.m., the counsel authorized the ban and it went into effect.
A table in an earlier version of this article misstated which abortion ban is being challenged in Texas state court. Abortion rights supporters are challenging a pre-Roe ban, not the state’s trigger ban.
An earlier version of this article referred incorrectly to the legal status of abortion in Indiana. While Indiana abortion providers stopped offering abortion services in anticipation of an abortion ban taking effect on Aug. 1, the law did not take effect.

Raft structure limit?
By MackTheKnife , July 8, 2018 in General Discussion
Recommended Posts
MackTheKnife
For the longest time I thought the limit was 88 for wooden boats. Today I went to the wiki, and saw that the new limit is 69, according to a week ago.Â
Is this true? Or was it just some anonymous troll thinking 69 is funny? Because I hope it’s still 88.Â
It’s bad enough that my walls/foundations/ceilings take damn near 60 or more. If it’s 66 then I can’t make a raft unless it’s a motorboat.Â
88 was fine. Barely enough to place necessities but that’s it. Nothing that adds to it,  like a ladder or hatch/windows. Or even turrets. I mean we should have more in the first place because there are people like me who would build a turret raft to keep Leeds and flyers out. Plant X and spikes as well.Â

I think that may be the old limit, they may have updated since the wiki was last changed.  You should be using a motorboat instead, much faster, better durability, and much more structures are allowed.

Should I just make a small enclosed wood raft and farm purely 1200 ingots overnight? What can I do about black pearls? I was given them last time and it was x8 official. Do I farm trilobites?

If you own any of the dlc, aberration has harvestable black pearls on the ground near the drake trench and scorched earth deathworms drop them.
Also otters I believe can get them from fish, otherwise you'll have to go in the ocean and kill eurypterids with a shark, ammonites and alpha water dinos (except alpha megalodon)

It depends what kind of map you are on. Â If you can transfer to a scorched earth or Ragnarok death worms are by far the best way to get pearls in my opinion. Â If you are on a hyper competitive pvp server where you are going to get raided for farming metal you might just wanna try to buy a motorboat from another tribe.

Nah, I don’t own any DLC. This game has annoyed and mentally tortured me so much that I won’t give these developers another cent. I’ve lost hundreds of hours worth due to glitches and not players. Juggling both is just too much to handle.Â
Getting off track. Im on ORP so now I have decent protection. I think I’ll just trade for them in-game.

Ragnarok is free and has deathworms and tons of resources.
Guest DJRone89
The limit may have changed for rafts but it’s still 138 structures on a motorboat.
Black pearls can be harvested on Aberration however as Ragnarok is free, head to 70, 20 immediately off the SW coast in the water to farm harvestable black pearls that cluster in around 12 clams. You should farm enough for a motorboat just off of them alone - even on official.

How fast is the Motorboat compare to the raft? : r/playark
Be aware that when I had used a motorboat last (close to release) it bugged the hell out when I had an anky loaded on it. I had built a decent expedition raft and was headed out to get oil from the icy north, but the collision detection kept triggering on the anky that was on my raft, so the motorboat would move in a really lurchy manner, moving at about the same speed as a normal raft.

Raft base tips and guide
Managarmr swim faster than a motor boat and can regen stam while swimming. They can scout huge amounts of water quickly to find your boat home. 2. Plant X are only good for one thing, anti-leeds on a wooden raft. Don't bother with them if you have a motor boat which a leeds can't catch.

So you built the motorboat : r/ARK
Rafts are amazing because they can act as bridges when lined up as much as possible for smallish gaps between land masses. Like the two islands in Vannaland South or the one in Vannaland East. Does the motorboat have more weight capacity, definitely has more health. I'd use them as mobile Taming pens like you'd mentioned before.

Motorboat. : r/ARK
I've heard the motorboat is faster, sturdier and can also go in reverse but it requires you to constantly farm resources for fuel (ie oil and hide) compared to the wooden raft that doesn't require fuel or many resources to repair or build. So basically my question is, is the motorboat worth the cost and upkeep?
Motor Boat Structure Limit :: ARK: Survival Evolved General Discussions
I put a motorboat in the water, placed 20 foundations down, 20 pillars on that, 20 ceilings on that, 20 pillars on that, etc. 138 is the structure limit I hit. I then drove the boat out into deep water, spawned a Leedsichthys (level 1) and let it chew on the boat. Hits for 603 every time, and the boat has 32,000 health.
r/ARK on Reddit: Can you upgrade a raft to a motorboat? Or do you have
But I meant like the same way you can place metal foundations directly on thatch to "replace" them, can you do that with raft->motorboat? Nope. Don't think of a raft/motorboat as structures; think of them as invisible swimming dinos with platform saddles (they actually even count as tames). Okay, good explanation, thank you!

Raft/Motorboat weight limits? : r/playark
Only structure limit of 88 on the raft and 138 on motor boat. So 50x will increase structure limit by quite a bit. On unofficial I have had 10000 weight on a raft (going by how much ingots I had) so you will be fine. I just got a server and removed Leeds and turned the platform structure limit up to a multiple of 50.
