A Cliffside Longhouse Overlooking the Bay - ARK Ascended (Ep.4)

[@louiscyphre6134]

Your "filming" techniques (4:59) - transitions, panoramic angle while harvesting or traveling, etc. - are awesome with Ark! You've said it takes a long time to create the vids but the work is noticed and appreciated!

[@Colonel_Frosty]

As a solo player who also has experienced the "Hard Crashes" I highly recommend saving manually when doing anything important or tedious. We shouldn't have to but it is what it is... I do this when starting projects, when taming, before, during and after.👍

[@bladeofphoenix]

Yeah, I got into the habit of doing that after having to rebuild my starter boat base three times. Loading the game from the executable file instead of through Steam drastically cut down the number of my crashes, though.

[@fioralangust]

It's pretty true. Even more when using mods. I lost my water creatures with different teleport mods. Don't build a tp in range of your water creature.

[@DJDeezyThaTruth]

-And BackUp Your Saves

[@Bancheis]

@@fioralangust Crashing due to mods I understand. Crashing with the base game that is basically just a rehash of a very long running successful game, being sold for full price, is inexcusable.

[@alfonsoPina]

First off, I would never have expected you to play Ark. But your building style is quite refreshing in Ark. I enjoy how you "misuse" the building resources in order to make them more appealing and they work!!

[@Joshua_Szymczak]

You gotta keep PARACHUTES on you at all times, brotha!! You'll never fall to your death again.

[@MorguerotheGaming]

That giant bug is a great mount for carrying things. It can carry most dinos and even pick up structures (vaults, firges, crafting benches, etc). A pain the absolute ass to tame but worth it. However you are nowhere close to ready. you'll need a good Charc, giga, or bronto for the tame and make sure it's something you don't mind losing.

[@_jay_lv]

good information but all u need is a trike with 12k hp and a shotgun/pistol

[@gregorskiff]

Hatchet: Hide, chitin, wood, stone and pelt. Pick: All meats, thatch, flint, metal. There are more but those are the basics.

[@talissa9764]

You should have kept your roof ladders, this way you can safely park your flyers on the roof.

[@lyotesharaia4829]

The funniest part of the base build was Tem completely failing to notice that when he corrected the math problem of the roof, he also fixed what was preventing him from having at least some of the doorways central on the building lol

[@PatUgnan]

I absolutely love how you use cinematics. The killing spree was so cool to watch and making an otherwise boring part actually fun to watch.

[@tiana5395]

Congrats on the base! Well done, love the location. Your effort really pays off and I'm glad you're not letting being ARK'd get the better of you. My friend and I are loving this episode and we look forward to the rest of the series.

[@coreyperez8817]

Beavers are good for wood. :) You could also try a Therezenisor. The Tickle Chicken is good for Thatch, fiber, and ok for wood. And a great travel mount.

[@gwhitty12]

If his dino spawn is like mine then Therezenisor is way to go because can't walk 10 feet without one being behind you. Beavers seem to not live long enough.

[@notmyname9062]

Just wanted to write the same: For ressource shortage get a beaver or therizino for wood. A doedicurus for stone and an ankylo for metal. They harvest much more ressources out of one tree/stone and they can carry much more.

[@Jdogbites]

For attack dinos, prioritize health, stam and attack. For harvest dino prioritize attack and weight, attack gives more resources when harvesting. You want a min of two argies, one for attack, one for resouce transportation.

[@unforgiven7745]

I would have to say The only thing you're missing is a Porch & a wall around your base so Wild dino's dont sneak up and scare the crap out of you!

[@TheSilentScreamX]

Hey dude, just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying this series. 7 Days and Ark are my two favourite survival games and seeing you playing Ark is so cool. It's actually nice to see you playing a game you don't know, as opposed to 7 Days, which you know inside out.

[@CATiiib]

It is absolutely hilarious watching you play raw, in a game you dont play daily. Love this video... reminds me of me LOL!

[@AlfJustAlf]

The amount of pantiance to accomplish this one equals an psychology degree! Well done :)

[@jnv1971]

I feel like building a fence all around the edge of the building site, would be a worthwhile investment of time. If nothing else, then just to avoid frustration :D

[@TrojanSparty]

FYI Saddles provide an armor bonus to your dinosaurs, which improves with the quality of the item (primitive, ramshackle, journeyman etc..) So any fighting dinosaur should get one even if you don't plan on riding it.

[@dawnsever7093]

Happy to continue eating the entire countryside for you, boss. As a note, in general, every gatherable resource has a dinosaur associated with it that gathers and carries it with much more efficiency than you. For example: -Ankylosaurus is great for metal, as you have found out -Doedicurus is great for stone -Beavers are pretty good for wood (and their saddle doubles as a smithy!) -Therizinosaurs are good for a variety of resources like fiber, berries, and thatch. Loving the base build

[@kuriea552]

Wonderfully done. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this episode.

[@Bazzer2121]

WOW some good videos of Ark Ascended i love the views from high above it gives some fantastic views of the land and ocean with lots of detail thanks for uploading your vids as they are worth watching as i get much enjoyment watching them and you are very good talking us thru them.

[@Gochen86]

Base is looking great so far, Tem. My only suggestion would be to change out a few wall sections for the variant with a window, particularily on the sides facing the water and the 'front lawn'. Waterside for the amazing view, and the 'front lawn' so that you can keep an eye on the dinos as well as spot any potential threats that have the courage to target a guy with three Rexes.

[@AvengingEwok]

If you want something capable of collecing more berries than you can handle, plus the ability to clear out massive spaces, the Bronto is the way to go with its tail swipe that clears out massive areas.

[@books1798]

Your editing is so good, and improves every series!

[@Owlincoup]

I cannot stress enough how much you need an Argy, a Doed and a beaver or mammoth. Argy, work horse/killer, Doed = stone, beaver/mammoth = wood. All of these animals have weight reduction for their respected material. You could focus your personal stats elwhere. Argy can carry around anky, Doed and beaver to auto harvest for you getting multiple times the amount you will ever do by hand. Edit for more info, you would have collected all that material less than an hour. Pick up the animal, fly it to the material it harvests and hold still. They will harvest the material on their own, fly to the next node/tree, repeat.

[@DrayvenWynd]

looking cool, love that you did the walls inside out :) looking forward to the rest of the build.

[@jwilliby7]

Looks great. You should replace the solid walls in your peaks with window walls. Lots more natural light

[@kelseymoore4139]

You can center your doors now, right?! At least on one side I think. Yay!

[@zombiesandcaffeine]

That’s an awesome view! Great choice on the base location and longhouse design. 👍

[@nicholasstoots9113]

Always like watching your style of game play and learning as you go. Also like your building techniques. Fall damage is a repeat thing in ark. Very frustrating sometimes.

[@MegaMacX]

good thing that there might not be something that will threaten your humble base, because thatch and wood wont stop basicly anything from chewing your base up. Yes, all stone looks... rocky... but stone structures are the first material that isnt vulnerable to Dinoattacks, except a few that dont spawn anywhere close to you. But i like your designchoices, most people just slap roofs on the walls with no "rainprotection" like you mentioned. Nothing is better than a nice overhang to make your base look not so "blocky" Btw, dont worry about the clearcuts too much, because foliage will grow back (except around your structures). Seems like you got some chokepoints up your hill there, so it might be a good idea to just "fence" them off with walls and dino gates. You might need some dino gates for taming-structures anyway, if you want to go that route (some people say its cheesing, but for solo its basicly required if you dont want to run around the whole island trying to tame anything).

[@Tallinu]

You want a Doedicurus for stone. Anky is a good for metal harvest. Flint. Can do berries etc. Beaver, Anky and Doedic are three sweet gathering dinos. Therazino is great as well for fiber and other plant crap. Bronto would be a good go to for power gathering berries. Your stone walls are backwards. Wood framing is on the inside. Unless you don't care or like that aesthetic. Good to see your crashing like the rest of us

[@TizonaAmanthia]

A saddle also works as armor for dinos. even if you never intend to ride them. you should Saddle them up, so they can be tankier.

[@craigprocter1232]

houses here in Australia have been built without eaves for the past 20 years or so, it was done because the roof then has a smaller area and it costs less to build. You do miss out on the shade from the eaves though.

[@Neverblade911]

Your jaw may be sore but it definately wasnt more than you could chew. Looks great.

[@toronoc6866]

Thanks for the design ideas!

[@gregorskiff]

09:35 Just look at those amazing stats 🤣😂.....JK. Don't let that one discourage you, ptera is a very useful flyer and scout. I use them even late game for trapping, just need to eventually find high level birds like 130 and up.

[@LegendairyDreams]

so fun. one thing i may suggest is getting a prime meat stack mod just for inventory sake... invetory cap i think is 300 soo if u go past that stuff just goes into the ether if u collect past that point..

[@bladeofphoenix]

Tem, parachutes on your hotbar are helpful. :P I really miss my gliders... Also, you can flip the direction of walls when placing them.

[@GrinderMayhem]

I have to say your videos have incredible quality. Keep up the amazing work

[@tpeel6309]

Enjoying this series. The base looks great so far and I'm sure it will only get better. Total production of this video is awesome! Thanks for the entertainment Tem! I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode!

[@flafik]

I like your series because you make mistakes and die instead of tryhard. I would probably swap the ladder for staircase or ramp to use for dino and you definitely need argi for flying.

[@bingo5694]

that's a nice big primary structure. I'd be tempted to put a big dormer into the room to fly a small mount in. Have an argy and pteranodon nest in the attic space :)

[@sourpig139]

Actually in Australia our walls are built like that if you have a recess inside the house. My roof is like that 😊

[@DJDeezyThaTruth]

-The Rhyniognatha (the dragon fly thing) Is Pretty Rare, Or Was. Like The Giga 🦗. “Taming” That Thang Was A Pain 🥴

[@ronaldraasch4253]

Those quarter blocks look like will allow you to build machicolation out from a defensive structure so you can shoot down or drop stuff at the base of the wall.

[@denniscurtis6978]

Can't wait to see you apply your gaming style to ark. It's definitely a learning curve but I'm sure in time you will nail it man. Great content

[@s0rd3z]

The building is much improved, but man... my kingdom for a roof cap for different build sizes I have done the same thing with roofs not thinking ahead so many darn times. Something I have wanted since like 2016. Also a half/quarter size roof piece for overhangs. It really is a bit of a pain, though satisfying once completed, to do builds like this still.

[@fallenjedi4779]

Awesome video! Base place is coming along.

[@GamingAfter50]

This game looks great! Beautiful building site. 👍

[@jinmakarov8187]

wow , nice idea on the ladder btw 👍

[@garethrasmussen6186]

keep it up, love it that your kinda new to Ark

[@DrkshdwG]

The timelapse music sounds like it might be from Chrono Cross

[@dmrshadow]

Great video as always. I found Ark to be particularly hard going in solo. Would love you to team up with someone.

[@VioletHeyoka]

Great episode! Looking forward to the next Tem!

[@CrabClownJimmy]

Get some windows in that house, boo! If you appreciate the natural lighting those windows will treat you right!

[@cholder9112]

Maybe close in that canyon and use it as a dino corral

[@XxHanter]

Use your Tranq darts with the rifle for more torpor on the creatures.

[@mrvoltar]

Maybe I'm a weirdo but I don't ever really ride rexes. I think of them as only being good for the boss fights for size min/maxing. To ride them you really need to pump a lot of points into stamina which they don't need if you're not riding them. I think you'd really like thylocoleos (bearcats...however it's spelled) because they get really strong when you put levels into them and they can climb walls. Theriznos are pretty ruthless and versatile harvesters (herbivore that can harvest meat and the special attack is a sickle harvest).

[@gregorskiff]

01:45 Trike gets a buff near large carnivores indicated by the red glow- raptor, carno and rex are the only alphas with legs. Get a decent male rex to make your breeding efforts worthwhile. *Fun ark fact: there are no T-Rex in the game, it's just Rex.

[@MayhemInTheEast]

Can't believe you had to redo all of that

[@paybackntf4017]

THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!!

[@malasardar3147]

The building looks really great, you just need to make the doors positioning symmetrical.

[@bartsqautchdude8010]

Love your vids dude, you are unique among KZbin and im always coming back. Cheers mate!

[@nolimitsoldier11111]

So you need an argy asap. Will make your life so much easier. Argys can carry pretty much any medium size dino and smaller. Get a pteranodon. Build a trap near argies and get one in. Your ark life will be so much better. And rexes as a main mount are a bad idea. Stamina is garbage. Better at following and destroying things. I'd recommend a dire bear if you want to go ground.

[@ericclarke2835]

Build your cliff ladders from the bottom up. That is how it was done in the previous versions

[@MayhemInTheEast]

House looks great bud

[@Razor2847]

So much hardwork to put the walls inside out😅

[@Made4Slaying]

exactly what I was thinking haha

[@shortsonly9604]

The best part of this video (to transport the animal

[@notazombie...notatall8577]

Yeah... this is not a thing only to ark Ascended, the ark survival evolved had this same issue, this is my recommendation to all ark players out there, if the game crashes, it doesn't save, and if you're playing single player, you lose all your progress. So, if you did a lot of progress, and the game has been running for a while already, it's better to go back to the main menu (that automatically saves) and restart the game, so it doesn't crash and you don't lose your progress.

[@lunarprinting]

thank yoou sir for continueing this series i dont know i just like the wayyou playing

[@jessiepapabear4272]

Looking good

I already missed darkness falls series

[@GhostlyGhille]

Just started watching your channel my Asa base is in this exact spot. Correction the first spot you built in

[@ThoViko]

Loving this series! Such a vibe 🤩

[@TizonaAmanthia]

well, it's...a box. I mean....it's not the worst dirt tier box, but....I dunno, there's some really good builders within ark specifically you could look into, if you wanted to up your architexture game.

[@gothenmosph5151]

That is a ton of resources to collect by hand lol. you really need a mammoth for wood and doedicerous for stone before doing another build like that again!

[@naMelaK]

For the love of god ;) make sure you always have some parachutes and bola's on yer hotbar, real lifesavers.

[@seanutube5945]

Love the series keep it up!

[@RedGreensho]

I know u keep saying u lost Dino’s but u can track them. Look for the dino foot icon with a plus then track ur dinos. If u bail off ur dino before it hits the ground it will take no fall damage and then u can ride it again all safe

[@mechanical_chaos]

Always love the building episode

[@benitovega701]

Just build some pillars and put a latter on it I'd put the foundation on the bottom so you can just build upward just my thought

[@DocPlaysBad]

I want to know how you get those ariel shots when youre "filming"

[@TizonaAmanthia]

there IS a dino that does stone better than anky, they're the "armadillo type dude." the Doedicurus is the name. if memory serves the Therazino is also a great gathering dino....I believe it can gather multple things really well. so much so, if you use them for combat in the forest. TURN OFF gathering. they will immediately overload on wood, and be immobile. but I believe they also can harvest plant fiber?

[@TizonaAmanthia]

ah! okay, you're grabbing a doedic

[@Anew522]

Seems like you read through my comment in its entirety😂. Or maybe others just said some of the same stuff.

i finally tamed a rex at carnivore island and got it to like 180 i felt like i was on top of the world killed everything in sight then left him while i went into the cave and a alpha rex just pooped on him 🙂

[@z-lover6332]

Save your game more often, so you won't lose progress if the game crash
