This is my latest how to build video it is a detailed tutorial for an Ankylo Pen it also has a large industrial forge area in the centre. If you enjoy the video please leave a like!!

[@lumiramagic]

And again I try to recreate it in the switch naturally improvised XO I will build a jurassic zoo xD

[@crazlady8648]

Always like your builds, you make it easy to fallow an build

[@overlord9010]

Greetings, tell me where did you get Metal Fence Supports? I built in a single game, without mods, but I don't have such a building.

[@aestheticleo7507]

I think I might replace the roof with a tower to use as an Argentavis pen so that they're both in the same place. Thank you very much for the amazing build!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Hi hat would look amazing great idea!!

[@drbecktex]

I'd call it a bird cage lol

[@taylorwickham6078]

I was thinking the same

[@sirsilco]

An aviary

[@simpled5755]

Honestly Aaron you never disappoint when it comes to making the most badass and awesome builds. Not only do they look good but they’re also resourceful and can be used. I love it mate. Keep it up

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so much so happy you like the builds!!

[@FK90Gunmetal]

Smashed it again mate, perfect blend of nice aesthetics and practicality! As always, keep up the good work buddy!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Hay man thanks long time no see hope you are doing well!

[@DaimayoWolf]

The Stone Triangle Roofs almost had me commiting all sorts of arson and murder. I was 5 seconds away from a mental breakdown and putting C4 on every square inch of the build just cause the LAST one wouldn't place right. Said it was gonna place right and then just went ahead and decided to place inside downwards. So I had to keep hopping off the roof to retrieve it. Since I'm on Svartalfheim with no flyers, on a floating island, and a Maewing to jump up and parachute with, it was not the most fun time going back down to get it and back up to try again. After a grueling, just under an hour, nightmare of a time, I have never cried so hard over a triangle roof placing in my life. The rest of the triangle greenhouse ceilingsand the forge were finished with teary eyes and the forge is officially complete. Thank you for the mental breakdown, Aaron. Can't wait for the next one. :,)

[@AaronLongstaff]

Lol I feel your pain triangle roofs are the worst I’m so glad you stuck with it!!

[@DaimayoWolf]

@@AaronLongstaff Truly glad I stuck with it myself. If it didn't place on that final attempt that happened to work, Inwas making the C4. X,D

[@pandaomc1005]

Build astrodelphis? XD

[@theagoraphobicatheist]

Aaron, mate. If I had half your talent lol Love it as always. Have a great day ☀️

[@AaronLongstaff]

Ah thanks you so much glad you like it!

[@Волк-р2ц]

Жжжжесть... В Арке и так кривая постройка, так заморочиться надо, но зато красиво не спорю)) лайк

[@leonsutton5148]

Tried this but the fence support won't snap to my foundation for roof for anky pen

[@maie6]

I'm having the same problem.

[@poglingang9123]

Pls do stryder pen with industry forge next video XD and top of the building have skiff that will be so cool

[@dannywhiteland7979]

Can we please have a astrodelphis pen, maybe with integrated skiff platform and tp

[@jackhague4934]

are you related to the long staff twins somehow? ironic that you’re all geordie and have the surname longstaff

[@sherrybailey6179]

Another awesome build! Have you ever thought about doing annex? I would love to see what you’d come up with….. you make the best ark tutorials I’ve ever seen….. your editing skills are much appreciated

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so much I will also add this to my list of builds to do!

[@pterafier]

Yooo hell yeah this was dope absolutely gonna build this lol

[@AaronLongstaff]

Haha it was your suggestion!

[@Silent-Pain.]

Ohh i love these small buildings. Awesome work 😍

[@AaronLongstaff]

Ah thank you so glad you like it

[@Silent-Pain.]

@@AaronLongstaff how long do you work on these buildings before you share it with us?

[@AaronLongstaff]

@@Silent-Pain. Usually a few weeks after I design it on stream!

[@tylermcburnett]

2024 here....Do you think this will still work on ASA?

[@moe-_-fugka8175]

I'm not trying to be toxic in any way but I just don't understand the purpose behind the anky part. Why?

[@AaronLongstaff]

Because ankylos are great metal collectors and you use the forge for making metal ingots

[@AlexA-ou7wi]

Hey Aaron. I recently started to watch your channel and i must say this is so amazing content and so useful, i love your builds and you helped me to bother myself to try out building creativly and not just a square of a house xD I have a question though, do you use all stock ark walls, foundations etc with no mods? Because sometimes when i try to build the same way you do it doesnt let me snap the exact same way or allignment becomes 1 cm off or some other frustrating shit. Do you have any tips for that? Thank you.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so glad you like the videos and the channel. Do you use vanilla ARK or are you using S+ sometimes that causes issues, failing that I have 4 Building Tips and Tricks videos that go into detail how to do certain thing in the game.

[@AlexA-ou7wi]

@@AaronLongstaff I use mostly s plus. or sometimes i use variable hight ones because sometimes terrain is a bit off and it wont let me continue placing foundations further on. But i will try to stick to only vanilla building items and try to follow your steps. Either way keep them videos coming!

[@tristandettmering5348]

Is this just the maewing pen? It looks familiar.

[@AaronLongstaff]

It is a rework of the first Maewing pen yes

[@tristandettmering5348]

@@AaronLongstaff I thought it looked familiar.

[@dylanbaker3889]

I placed everything one wall up so I basically gotta restart lmao

[@michaelcote1534]

Coming next how to build a raptor pen lol. Playing though hey why not?. Imo, which is only that. Truly unique builds are merged not clipped. Alas kudos for the struggle of new content as how to builds are extremely limited for creativity. I can respect anyone who enjoys building. So in that regard nice work and great video.

[@dreamergamers6423]

It's juste amazing, for stacks ankylo of farm argent and iron thanks ^^ i thinks to craft this for magmasaur version but magma are so expensive i do a really nice video good luck for next ( srry for my English level i'm french)

[@zuzukyd]

Looks great. Ill try this in creative or maybe at some point . No way im spending that amount of metal yet lol

[@Korraphat79]

This is a nice build Aaron... love watching your vids on building stuff, been a fan for years. Thanks so much for all the great ideas on building bases on ark. Seriously makes the rest of us look half profession when building bases.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Ahh thanks so much I am chuffed that you like the builds!!

[@dotalbo8279]

I’m a bit late but still amazing build. Maybe uses a little too much metal but oh well. Anyways love your work, I’m definitely trying this.

[@thecat7803]

Looking for a zoo pen and came here first. Stopped to watch this. Beautiful!

[@gabrielmaia342]

how to great video its tutorial big very explicated it is

[@PogoOnGTAO]

I’m speechless to how amazing this build is!

[@charitykinsella1971]

I just built something similar the other day... 🤣 You read my mind, holy moly.

[@djjd8520]

Thank you for making this video, I been looking for a creative way to house a forge and couldn't come up with anything, found this video and I put my own spin on it but have to give you credit, so thank you.

[@kaz1846]

Another cool build! Thanks for continuing to put out content!👍

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you and you are welcome

Won’t let me put Dino frame why

Very good, and the location of Argentavis?!

Spino pen? Its been 3 years from now 😂

[@sirsuperwimp5109]

could you make a lake house base for hidden lake on the island?

[@sirsilco]

Absolutely love this build. It's just bang on.

[@esekameyo1368]

Wait isn't this like the Maewing one on the live stream

[@memerminecraft3226]

Nice, now I won’t risk accidentally ice breathing my ankylos

[@AaronLongstaff]

Haha

[@bothetinman772]

You know what would be awesome, a Rock Drake pen… something needs to keep those Ankys safe.

[@AaronLongstaff]

I agree it is on the list to do at some point!

[@biggtrux]

Another great build dude! I myself have stopped playing the game. Too many bullsh1t fantasy animals, I.E. shiny objects, in a lame attempt to keep the thing playable. Not faulting anyone still playing. Still a lot of fun stuff to do, just can't stand the fantasy creatures in it.

[@bothetinman772]

Rock Drakes, Ferox, and Featherlights are my favorites.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Yeah I see why that would put some people off I also hate all the new space animals etc but I love building so I ignore that haha

[@waveclaw]

Good combination of materials and the detailing with railings to bring the build together. I see this is in the current 'stairs under ramps' style of tiled roof for the individual pens. The pen footprint is perfect size to swap out of many of the other Longstaff-brand tame pens on the ARK design market. With only small modification to the roofline this could be a main base or resource outpost for a small tribe. And the size is suitable for use with a Tek replicator, so easily able to grow with your needs or be duplicated as a set of towers in a vertical build.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you and yeah I can see this being used as a base

[@lordpico7436]

not enough turrets

[@mertoib1779]

aaron can you make a rock drake pen?

[@AaronLongstaff]

Yup it’s on the list

[@iiTz_x_Irish]

just got done w mine on my server. super cool and easy to build! i made 2 pads for Anks and 1 for Beaver and Dieo. the other i made a AC power gen room

did you have trouble with the metal fence support for anky pen roof

[@iiTz_x_Irish]

@@leonsutton5148 no only part i had issues w was the metal stairs on the stone roofs but got it

I love that location I will look into it!

[@lauraturner3221]

is there a way to build this if you don't have creative mode on ps? I am trying to build like the roof and the higher walls and I can't reach them. I am new to this game. Thank you

Yeah either make a temporary structure out of thatch and ladders 🪜 or you can stand on a Dino
