Ark: Survival Evolved Game Info
►I play the game on PC, where it is currently part of Steam's Early Access program.
►Ark is marketed as the definitive online dinosaur survival experience.
►As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing & starving on a mysterious island, you must hunt, harvest, craft items, grow crops, & build shelters to survive.
►Use skill & cunning to kill, tame, breed, & ride Dinosaurs & primeval creatures living on ARK, and team up with hundreds of players or play locally!
►Use your cunning and resources to kill or tame & breed the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land, and team up with or prey on hundreds of other players to survive, dominate... and escape!
►Dinosaurs, Creatures, & Breeding! -- over 50+ at Early Access start and 100+ planned for final release -- can be tamed using a challenging capture-&-affinity process, involving weakening a feral creature to knock it unconscious, and then nursing it back to health with appropriate food.
►Once tamed, you can issue commands to your Pet, which it may follow depending on how well you’ve tamed and trained it. Pets, which can continue to level-up and consume food, can also carry Inventory and Equipment such as Armor, carry prey back to your settlement depending on their strength, and larger pets can be ridden and directly controlled!
►Fly a Pterodactyl over the snow-capped mountains, lift allies over enemy walls, race through the jungle with a pack of Raptors, tromp through an enemy base along a gigantic brontosaurus, or chase down prey on the back of a raging T-Rex!
►Take part in a dynamic ecosystem life-cycle with its own predator & prey hierarchies, where you are just one creature among many species struggling for dominance and survival.

All the materials you need to build! All of these in S+!!! ;) 12 stone pipe taps 30 stone pipes vertical 31 stone sloped walls right 32 stone sloped walls left 9 stone foundations 60 wood railings 8 medium stone pillars 4 small stone pillars 4 watertanks 13 glass ceilings 2 glass hatch frames 8 wood door frames 48 wood walls 16 wood window walls 12 medium crop plots spray painter paint brush 70 stone ceilings 16 wood foundations

[@UniteTheClans]

Dude, I love it!

[@BloodiestMargie]

where's the sloped stone roofs?

[@Eryniell]

making those stone wall corners is such a creative idea :)

[@UniteTheClans]

Glad you like it!! Not a lot of Ark builders are thinking outside the box, so I try to give you guys new ideas and new ways to look at the building materials Ark has already given us.

[@5carlosgonzalez]

You're by far the best on KZbin with building tutorials. Keep it up

[@UniteTheClans]

+Adam Sangston dude thank you! Who else do you watch? I love Va GI Jane's style, and I know a lot of people watch GG Fizz but his style isn't my favourite

[@5carlosgonzalez]

Same with me I like hers because of how she slowly goes step by step but yours is by far my favorite

[@UniteTheClans]

Thank you! I plan to get my butt in gear and make 40 or 50 more like this one over the course of the year (with some of my usual derpy vids in between of course)

[@5carlosgonzalez]

Sounds good I love trying out all your builds

[@TheBisurmanin]

Very cool idea of "tea house"!

[@UniteTheClans]

+Lukas Bisurmanin yeah! Totally feels like a tea house! There is a real life building that inspired me to make this and it was surrounded by beautiful gardens--hence the name!

[@TheBisurmanin]

How did you place two walls in one snap point? I tried it with S+ but not works... Did you use fence foundations? When i use Q it snap wall only in one point, with two options, but after adding second wall the first colapse.

[@UniteTheClans]

The wood walls need to start at the bottom and be snapped to the inner stone foundations-- then go up and build the balconies with stone ceilings. If your walls are snapped be free to snap to the ceilings. With s+ the fence foundations are not necessary, but if you are stuck they may help! That is why I built all the walls before the balconies, normally I would go floor by floor!

[@melissadiaz5340]

Your log cabin build was awesome bro don't stop

[@UniteTheClans]

+Project CaMo New tutorial today or tomorrow. Ya couldn't stop me if ya tried

[@MM-bu5jc]

Great design! Reminds me of a Japanese building, but would be very awesome for a huge green house!

[@UniteTheClans]

Itd be cool to try to make a japanese style build! This was inspired by a real house... in New Orleans I think

[@James-qc1df]

Just wanted to say I Absolutely enjoy your Builds and have taken a lot of inspiration from your videos. this build has been one of my favorites and I have built a slightly modified version to use as a Kind of Hotel on the scorched earth map. It was built as 5X5 (to fit more rooms) and out of adobe with a wood Trim, I also used your Ladder Idea for support "Beams" that you showcased on one of your other videos. Nice Job with your tutorials

[@UniteTheClans]

That ladder thing would work great here with the same white paint as the railings :) I did it recently in my Madagascar Ranch House on the exterior, but I have done it on the interior of both A-Frame/Redwoods cabins too. Thank you for the love and support my friend. If you're on the twittah, tweet a pic @unitetheclans!! I'd love to see it.

[@larissatucker5345]

You are such an amazing builder and I am a huge fan and I would love to help and your channel out I just really can't donate cause I'm just a little poor high school senior😔

[@UniteTheClans]

I just love that you enjoy the videos! I'm lucky to have a few fans that care, but honestly the patreon is for those of them that can afford it without feeling it! When you become incredibly successful I will be here!

[@kingkushoriginal3017]

Larissa Tucker same 😣

[@nniiccooful]

Hey just a tip, idk if you play ark on a console but if you do, u can press select and it will help you to change the position of the ceiling easily instead of having to look around looking for the perfect position. Hope this helps u. And your videos are awesome 😎

[@UniteTheClans]

+nichol lopez thanks so much Nichol! I am on PC but we have that snap point rotation now as well! Not sure if we did when I built this, but I've learned to us it now!

[@nniiccooful]

UniteTheClans you are welcome, im so happy that it helped you. Keep doing your videos that they are very cool. :D

[@nniiccooful]

UniteTheClans thanks from argentina

[@UniteTheClans]

+nichol lopez aww thank you bud! I'll keep building! New tutorial this afternoon ;)

[@jonathans1544]

on ps4 its the track pad to change snap points as well!

[@Jade-PG]

liked the design

[@UniteTheClans]

+Jade Plays Games Thanks Jade!

[@sammcclintock9092]

Thank u for showing the build first then showing us how build

[@lDespised]

Awesome video, man! I've always made ugly houses just to store stuff. Definitely going to build this when I get home from work tomorrow!! Subbed!!

[@UniteTheClans]

+Despised you getting excited gets me excited to figure out the next design

[@Svampebob01]

Jus got into ark and im really enjoying your videos. Thanks!

[@UniteTheClans]

:D

[@marylala354]

I'm from Switzerland 🙊 And I love all of your Builds and your Videos! I have built already a few of your creations 😃 and i wanted to ask you, Do you have any ideas for aParacer Platform? I thought of something like a thatch bungalow.. 🙈 i'm looking forward to see your next videos 😃

[@UniteTheClans]

¸My friend has a really awesome minimalist design that crams everything you need in a tiny space, we are planning to build it together for my channel eventually--until then watch his! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5u0epeYrct4hMU (Say UTC sent you, lol)

[@martdelooijer7238]

another cool build you maked !! can you do more of that "lets build" of how you call it because it is so cool you are the best builder i know👍👍👍👍

[@UniteTheClans]

+mart de looijer it is not the next video, but the one after will be that Building Evolved creative series!

[@sarahdotey9291]

thank u for the beautiful Build's

[@UniteTheClans]

+Sarah Dotey making my morning with all your comments :)

[@ArahliTheGeek]

Great work UTC. S+ is a silly useful mod for a ton of stuff. I hope ARK proper picks up alot of these features.

[@UniteTheClans]

+Arahli The Geek good call! I barely used any of what S+ has to offer, gimme those upside down slope walls and I'll live with ugly pipe in vanilla!

[@lunabee7158]

I love your videos there so strangely calming😂❤️

[@UniteTheClans]

+lux barton I'm pretty chill :)

[@XxStevieLad87xX]

Mate! That is the most amazing build I've seen! Loved it! Looks amazing!! Add a few lights to it and it could more amazing than it already is ;)

[@UniteTheClans]

Man, glad you like it--still got a thing or two to learn about interiors so I left it out of this one. If you ever get on PC please come do some interior design collabs with me ;) Still cant get over your kitchen on dodoloco!

[@kingkushoriginal3017]

love watching the beautiful builds you should goo all out make a utc village in red woids or south zone

[@UniteTheClans]

+KingKush thanks!

[@rorasuarus5287]

loved the vid UTC. best garden house ever :)

[@UniteTheClans]

Thanks Rory! You rule. You have discord? discord.gg/HbrRS2C

[@coldfiresun4707]

beautiful

[@relliscormany7234]

I am on the Xbox 1. how do you line up your irrigation pipes with it wanting to snap to the center like a pillar. I wanted to do what your doing with the water reservoirs for the longest time. you do such a good job and I love your building ideas and how you bring them to life. really wish Microsoft would incorporate S+ for standard building somehow

[@UniteTheClans]

+Rellis Cormany without S+ you need fence foundations to get the pillars on the corner. Also, there won't be a snap point for the water tanks, you have to place them freehand and hope you centered them well

[@sleepyoleander]

Hi UTC I subscribed and turned on notifacations!I LOVE YOUR BUILDS THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@UniteTheClans]

+Bridgette Y Thanks Bridgette, we builders have to stick together!

[@NoRushGaming]

Great build UTC!

[@NoRushGaming]

What is that command menu you used? never seen that one

[@UniteTheClans]

ArkCommander. It is almost never visible on screen but I had desktop recording enabled :) super useful.

[@hubbiuskelvikki4218]

Pretty neat building so in the future after a long time will you go back through the buildings? And at the end of the series will it ya know... Be a massive purge?

[@UniteTheClans]

+Drogon Guardian hahaha, that would be amazing. It would totally work if I built them in a line but they are spread so far around the island the center and scorched I would never find em all!

[@hubbiuskelvikki4218]

UniteTheClans haha

[@jackhenry8346]

Great video! Perfect awesome and great build!

[@steviworld2110]

Nice build again!

[@music.peace3]

Great love your idea on building

[@UniteTheClans]

Thanks a lot!

[@holypeace4928]

Do you have any interior design to maximize the usage of this garden house? Would love to build it!!

[@MiauHai]

Is it possible to remove the center foundations *after* it's completely built? Will it tumble & fall? I'm thinking about adding hives to the center ground floor.

[@UniteTheClans]

+Adoriyah you *should* be totally fine. Each foundation will provide support for 2 ceilings away from it, and even the inner walls will get support from the outer foundations. I say go for it!

[@melissadiaz5340]

I love your videos they rock

[@birdieman1048]

Do a Dino pen that can fit most Dino's like an argy

[@sarahdotey9291]

love your videos

[@UniteTheClans]

+Sarah Dotey thank you Sarah!

[@JazzyGaming]

using s+ i could not get the left/right accent pieces to work. they wouldnt snap where they should and even when they did, it would break the wall behind it =/

[@UniteTheClans]

The key is that the tall wood wall needs to snap to the inner stone foundations, then the stone slope walls can snap to the stone ceilings of the veranda! I wrote a longer version of the explanation for someone else in these comments I think

[@sovietunion6439]

great desighn! :)

[@tristynbade5010]

I love these videos

[@UniteTheClans]

Dude, thank you! Playlist link is near the top of the description if you want more like this!

[@horsmiful]

If anyone has difficulty with the pillar section. 1.Remove the corner wood foundation 2.Place the pillar 3.Place wood foundation A quick fix to that solution

[@UniteTheClans]

+Michael Sloan thanks a lot Michael! Hope people thumb this up a lot!

[@lord7th787]

Michael Sloan I still can't get it to snap correctly :( is it because I'm on console?

[@i.r.nooblet5261]

love this build =-)

[@slamminx3]

What menu is that where you chose to fly when you build?

[@UniteTheClans]

+♫ SlamminUK ♫ it's usually hidden ;) it's a program called Ark Commander!

[@trkgames4727]

Yay new upload

[@UniteTheClans]

+TrK Games yeah buddy! Thanks for being patient, this one took extra time

[@trkgames4727]

UniteTheClans as long as you do upload :D

[@DawgcityClev]

Vanilla can't place those pillars on the corners? Or am I missing something?

[@UniteTheClans]

In vanilla you need to use fence foundations. I built this with Structures Plus.

[@jwind2031]

You have some very cool builds! Btw what was the mod you used to do the fly command?

[@UniteTheClans]

That is built into the game, in game you would hit tab, type enablecheats (then your admin password), hit enter. Then tab and type admincheat fly. Walk puts you back on the ground. If you are in singleplayer drop the admin prefix and there is no password to type!

[@jwind2031]

Yeah but what was that UI that you had pop up?

[@UniteTheClans]

+Jason Burt ark commander ;) I'll remember to mention it in videos where i use it. I usually hide it from my recording software because it blocks so much of the screen!

[@jwind2031]

Thanks

[@clarazef800]

Thanks

[@UniteTheClans]

+Clara Zeferino :)

[@Kidiotic]

Not bad, 16 minutes. 😎

[@UniteTheClans]

Nice and tight.

[@dawnfox9129]

Nice build. I've downloaded the S+ mod...let's build ;-)

[@UniteTheClans]

Yes! Man, I know I should use vanilla building pieces when I dont need the funky S+ pieces, but after this tutorial I may not wanna go back! So much better!

[@UniteTheClans]

Tweet me your colour scheme if you do make it Fox! And you comment a lot, you should join the Discord and caht with us! discord.gg/HbrRS2C

[@MidnightsRequiem]

I really like this build but... when I place down the stone ceilings, I cant walk into the doorways on the second and third floor.

[@UniteTheClans]

+Requiem Gaming try placing a second doorframe above the first with a wooden door in it above! You can give it the same paint scheme and walk right through no prob. Ark is weird.

[@MidnightsRequiem]

Yeah I could do that. I just would like to be able to walk out on the decks. Tis what they're for! Thanks for the tip.

[@UniteTheClans]

+Requiem Gaming ark is such a pain. I think the reason I didn't have that issue is that this is one of the few structures plus builds I've done. Strange though, it still shouldn't be a problem.

[@MidnightsRequiem]

Yeah Im using structures plus as well. That's why I was a little dumbfounded.

[@MidnightsRequiem]

the hardest part of this build, i found, was trying to get those stone corners to line up. You made it look so easy!

[@clarazef800]

What button do you press to place down something

[@UniteTheClans]

+Clara Zeferino I click my mouse...

[@unknownarkuk7787]

UTC can you build a factory

[@UniteTheClans]

Until I do get to a factory, this Elevator Workshop the closest thing! Not a step-by-step one, but it may give you some ideas! goo.gl/bsLdul

[@carmenmiller9102]

Don't know if I built it wrong but due to the drone ceilings outside I can't use the doors on the second and third level. I'm on Xbox so it's a tad more difficult. Besides doing door frame over door frame do you have any other tips to fix this?

[@UniteTheClans]

+Carmen Miller nope I'm sorry my friend, this game is a pain to build in

[@carmenmiller9102]

UniteTheClans I was able to tweak some pillars and a foundation and got it to work! All's well! Wish you could see!

[@UniteTheClans]

+Carmen Miller I would love to see :) you tweet?

[@carmenmiller9102]

UniteTheClans yes?

[@UniteTheClans]

+Carmen Miller @Unitetheclans send me your pics!!

[@unknownarkuk7787]

ok thanks

[@cadensmith5392]

What were you using for this menu? 2:30

[@UniteTheClans]

+Sherlock Holmes Ark Commander!

[@cadensmith5392]

Thank you SO much!

[@worldstarhiphop8096]

do u thank u could do a dino pen? because i don't know how to

[@UniteTheClans]

What kind of a pen? Any particular dinos its for? I usually end up making barns instead ;)

[@worldstarhiphop8096]

Rex pen

[@worldstarhiphop8096]

A rex barn

[@Gubabu1]

What kind of "admin tool" do you use at 2:31 to fly and other stuff?

[@theultimategecko8543]

MindeWaker cheat fly

[@Gubabu1]

I know the console commands i want to know what kind of tool he's using cuz he didnt open the console and 'cheat fly' he opened some overlay and just clicked on it. that's what i wanna know since ACM is not working i need some other tool like that

[@UniteTheClans]

+MindeWaker it's called Ark commander! I swear I have answered this question in these comments before

[@OkamiDin1]

Can this be built on vanilla? Pls answer!!!

[@UniteTheClans]

+Jeff Brown Yup. You don't get upside down corners for decoration, and your pipes must be visible, otherwise it's the same!

[@OkamiDin1]

thanks UTC. Hope you have a great new year :D

[@S-Flux]

what is the admin UI mod u use ?

[@UniteTheClans]

Its called Ark Commander! It is supposed to be invisible when I record because it blocks the screen, but its very useful for building. Highly recommend it!

[@ordnaelmeister]

not keralis, but nice! XD

[@UniteTheClans]

+Ordnael Meister I wish! Taking inspiration from what made him a favourite of Minecrafters, hoping to bring some of his magic to Ark!

[@zerodawn8554]

I can't get the pillars to clip right

[@UniteTheClans]

You need the structures plus mod. If you do not have it you need to use fence foundations.

[@zerodawn8554]

UniteTheClans I do have Structures S+ but the pillars only try to clip in the middle

[@UniteTheClans]

Are you using s+ pillars and s+ ceilings? They should clip right to the corners.

[@zerodawn8554]

UniteTheClans I was using S+ materials yes, the garden house still look fantastic without the pillars so thank you, but no for some reason I can not get the S+ pillars to clip with the ceiling properly , also just a question but are the second and third floor doors supposed to be too short to walk through

[@sleepyoleander]

Me and my dad play ARK and we spawn the stuff in so we wont grind out resources

[@UniteTheClans]

+Bridgette Y I love to play that way ;)

[@kyleevans4759]

ketzel?

[@UniteTheClans]

+Kyle Evans that's the pronunciation ;) even if the hate from the kwetzel peeps is strong!

[@kyleevans4759]

UniteTheClans yeah it's a joke good vids tho

[@UniteTheClans]

+Kyle Evans sorry. Team ketzel peeps get defensive :S
