What happened to the trapper boat with two places to tame?

[@dalebullock201]

You should update this video to incorporate all the changes and homestead structures. We've done some raft build that has rafts locked into 1 empty space and storage on the raft just below the main floor of our workspace. This allows you to move your storage near your fab, smithy etc, so you can worry less about weight limits and going back and forth. Builds such as this would be interesting to see you go over.

[@somewhitedude01]

Does this method still apply and does it apply to console.

[@bigwilly0352]

Cool

[@Wawaz_]

Freaking weird

[@AxiomApe]

I'm only a week or two in playing "Ark" and seeing this blew my mind. The potential in this game is just so endless. It's like a much more interesting and adult version of "Minecraft" but with Dinosaurs. Definitely one of the best games I've played to this day.

[@Feradose]

Is your opinion still true?

[@endobaggins5072]

Same despite all the bugs the sprint one being my main thing xD

Since Cyro pods have been introduced; there's no reason for huge bases anymore. Rafts are the way to go these days and small unique areas under trees that are out of view of flyers and so dense that you cannot access by large dinos.

[@kirbyquill979]

Facts😭

[@xlr8films]

This is without question the *best* tutorial I've seen on youtube yet and I am 46 years old. No loud music, very easy to follow instructions, well-spoken. Very pro. I hope I see more of this in your library, xONEWINGx! Very cool!! And TYVM!!! I was soooo lost.

To say this video is amazing would be an understatement. I was totally blown away by the level of detail involved. Absolutely astonishing!

[@Monkeypuzzle]

Fantastic vid. I can't believe you got all that comprehensive and well organized info in 23 minutes. I just did a boat tut and only got a fraction of that info in the same length. Your boats are very inventive, utilitarian, and inspiring. Subbed.

[@thehairybeast9707]

4 and a half years later and so much of this is still relevant. i play on a heavily populated rag server and spent much of my time here using boats as dry land is prime real estate. i even have a tek rep boat, inspired by the work here.

[@xXThePanzerXx]

could you make a building tutorial for the individual rafts? I suck at building things.

[@thorandil1]

You are a freaking legend, dude. I was wondering how to build even just the foundation on the raft while still being able to drive the raft. Thank you!

[@bulldozer8950]

Dude ur a genius. Everyone one of your videos breaks the game. Hope ark doesn’t hire you to bug find or all the bugs might be found ...

[@Darksonalucard]

I just found your channel and already you give more in depth info on making things than most people, thank you ladies, you've earned this sub

[@OatmealTheCrazy]

Wow, holy shit. I was questioning if the breaching boat could be used to clip through base/avoid turrets so you can drive up, place c4, then back up and explode it. Then you fucking 1 up me with the bangalore boat. Fucking hell. Best raft video I've ever seen and you don't even seem to be an ark content maker.

[@VexShiza]

I have to say that for a person such as I that likes to play by myself, finding this video was the best thing ever. I have been trying to find ways to tame without dying to hardcore. Now I can trap them and tame them on the fly. Thank you so much! I have to save this video for later.

Thank you for making this effort, this was a great watch. I just survived a sarco attack on my first raft ever (it got all of my storage during my escape). I had seen other rafts which were all built up, but had no idea how to do it. Now I have the knowledge to make a well-defended raft :)

[@stabbystabbers]

Do you know if the embedded foundation thing was fixed (broken) in a recent patch? I can't get the middle foundation to snap to the pillar.

[@undeadmatador]

Easily the best tutorial for beginner raft building. i've come back to this video several times for inspiration.

[@Jangocat]

This was very very helpful. I'm a relatively new Ark player. I really struggled on my first character, building your expedition raft first has been a huge win on my second character. Could you post a tutorial on your trapper raft? I'm trying to build it on what I see in this video but am having problems finding the snap point for the dinosaur gate. Did you have to build the outer walls first then manually place the dinosaur gate? Did you use slopped roofs or ramps for the dino ramps?

[@xONEWINGx]

Yeh I keep meaning to get to that tutorial but it can be done any number of ways, I used sloped ceilings in this video for the ramp. You should be able to just slap the gates down no trick involved.

[@Jangocat]

xONEWINGx Thanks, you have been a great help. That's the direction I'm building but as a new character playing local I'm gathering resources for every piece I place. The dino gate just doesn't seem to snap. I'm going to try to build the rest of the pen and see if it just lets me manually place it.

[@xONEWINGx]

Dave Davidson Dino gates don't "snap" unless its on a fence foundation, you just manually eye ball and place them like storage boxes etc.

[@Jangocat]

xONEWINGx Thanks, I did manage to manually place one once, but it was off center. Now I know their manual like storage boxes I'll build the rest of the cage and try to center it.

[@barryfoley9039]

Please do the tutorial....I have built this twice by looking hard at your video....but it is difficult to see the details

[@g3synth205]

Any chance you would be able to do a tutorial video on the Trapper Boat? (15:15) I'm having trouble using the pillar + foundation method to get the height of the foundations as low as you seem to have gotten them in your video.

[@isaacespapa1]

dude your insane, I'm still shitting myself in my thatch hut when a carno walks by

[@tvanza7791]

The bangalore boat is amazing! Such a suck simple but HIGHLY effective design. Love it

[@PredaorGuy101]

I'm sure it's been stated in previous comments but I would most definitely prefer a shark cage tutorial. I've grown very interested in these boat tutorials and enjoy making these boats very much. I'd make the shark cage myself but I like watching your tutorials to make sure I know my limitations with the block limit and especially because of the special attention you provide to certain areas of the boat that I may not think of by myself.

[@forthewagesofsinisdeath4967]

im having a hard time getting the ramps to snap in the correct way on the trapper boat

[@xONEWINGx]

There is no ramps its sloped ceiling.

[@forthewagesofsinisdeath4967]

xONEWINGx Yes, but i was having issues with them

[@forthewagesofsinisdeath4967]

xONEWINGx Its because i wasnt putting angled walls

[@TC-st9nt]

Kevin Smith Theres a difference between sloped roofs and ramps. Sloped Roofs require angled walls, ramps do not.

[@sharp411]

I was having trouble with the sloped roof as well, I was able to determine which way it would face depending on the way I faced the wall I was putting it on. So the sloped roof will always face away from the interior of the wall, so you wave to make sure the inner wall (the side of the stone wall with the slab of wood) is facing the direction you want your roof to come down.

[@bbrake]

Better edited and more informative than any other Ark video I've seen. Useful too, but your designs are WAY more ambitious than anything I was looking for. I mainly just want to build a boat I can park my trikes on XD

[@CamperEater]

Can u make a tutorial for the trapper plz

[@TwoFistsOneHalleluja]

The trapper raft is amazing! Made taming strong carnivors/herbivors easy. Just have to go to carnivor/herbivor island with a raft and an argent and aggro & lure one dino in each cage (or several scorps/ankylos in a single cage for instance). Since I need about 10 minutes to go back to my base with the raft I usually narco them before travelling back in order to make them hungry before I start the tame. Being a solo player on PvE, this build is a huge time-saver. Thanks a lot!

[@jrherita]

[@ramonleal5781]

[@ecrean99]

I've made wood and stone based expedition boats, that have a crows nest, so I can tame from up there. You just have to repair your walls after taming. I've built something modeled after an aircraft carrier, 2x6 long for the landing area on a 3 block wide boat. The side lane is for having a raised platform and a door in and out of the flight deck. I love the trapper with double pens, that's a Genius design. Very well done sir.

4 years later and this video is still relevant. Subbed and liked. cheers friend. thanks! Wanted to make my raft foundations flush for a few days now and didn't know how

[@Gortona]

Many thanks for your video. It made me start again with Ark. As I got raided and raped brutally in my last round I decided, that living on the water would be a smart solution. The enthusiasm I got from your vids was soon shared by my old colleagues who restartet with me now aswell. So we are 3 people at the moment, living in the open sea as pirates... actually as non-violent pirates :) MY QUESTION: You seem to have loads of experience on living in the water. Have you built a "Water World" once yourself? If yes, what should I consider? How could I defend against Battle-Quetzals. So far, it was very peaceful at my spot, but I think this can change very soon. As defense - appart from Plant-X and upcomming turrets - I want to tame as many water-creatures swimming below our city as possible. Also - inspired by your vids - I was thinking of getting some dimorphodons set to neutral (I hope that they would fly up to a quetzal/air unit when our rafts are under Fire). --> You or any of the readers/viewers have any suggestions for me appart from giving up that stupid idea???? Here is an Overview-Pic on our little city after a bit more than a week of "work": abload.de/img/img_6678jeui9.jpg We have: - Your Plant-Boat (great design, absolutely perfect, also for landrats) - 2 Carriers/Pens for medium sized Dinos (we got a Trike and an Ankylo so far) - 3 Expeditionboats (currently our homes) - 1 Underwater Pen (currently 2 Ichtys and 1 Turtle), also the top is our dilo-"pen" - 1 Dodo-Space, acts as village square aswell - 1 Pier for easy docking/connecting - 1 Pier-Adition with a Fabricator and some Cooking-Stuff

[@samsibley5170]

Link don’t work :(

[@Thoboes]

I don't know if is a new way of leveling a foundation to the raft but there is a easy way. Youll need a fence foundation and a wooden pillar. Put the fence foundation in the center front, a pillar in front of it and a floor on the left or on the right and you good to go.

[@noahlynd1266]

Thank you!!!

[@thehairybeast9707]

problem with that is that it makes the foundation truly flush with the surface and you wont be able to demo it later if you need to.

There was a patch that effected that, can't you grab the rudder then pull the pillar back over the mast? watch my latest vid if you want an example.

Your technique for lowering Foundations is not the best, I lower my foundations to the same effect much more simply: a) Place a central pillar b) Snap a foundation off to the side of the pillar c) delete pillar from a) d) snap new pillar inside of foundation from b) e) delete foundation b) - now repeat from step B) and you will only use 1 pillar and 1 foundation for each lowering step. Other than that, please stop telling everyone about the Bangalore boat ;-) - that shits OP

Thanks to your videos I have a nice save start on any server. people usually will leave these boats alone because they don't block resource spawns and are mostly used until you decide to build a metal base. But if you have plant x on them 9 times out of 10 you'll get sunk by an alpha tribeI have used many of your builds and tweeked them to my needs.
