My latest How To Build video is a large House with 3 floors it also has a small area for dinasours on the ground floor. You will all be happy to hear that I have included the Coordinates and the materials needed to build this in the Description :)

[@nielsritsma9275]

Aaron Longstaff coordinates :)

[@AaronLongstaff]

Yes finally +Niels Ritsma I have listened to feedback and now put them along with the materials for the build in the description :)

[@nielsritsma9275]

:)

[@toxicwaste9166]

Aaron Longstaff thanks

[@kaze-senpai3344]

Aaron Longstaff This video and all of your others really helped me venture out from the "box" houses. I'm actually building something similar to it in my non dedicated local server

[@J0RD2K10]

to be honest i never leave a comment or like but your vids man just wow..... i like how you take it slow and show the correct snap points and how to change or rotate the structure, calming music good looking design's. I hope you keep this up and get recognised for this mate you have gained another sub pal looking forward to your future vids

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thanks JORD2K10 for taking the time to comment that means a lot! So glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for the SUB my friend!!

[@Jelloville]

His video is amazing, I always have trouble finding a house tutorial that takes it slow because I can never keep up and constantly pausing is a pain but with his videos you can build with him and the calming music just relaxes you. I’ve always hated building houses in ark but you make me like to build now, amazing video, another subscriber here!

[@axstro2382]

J0RD2K10 true

[@lucky1123ify]

That’s exactly what I was thinking you took the words out of my mouth best tutarial so far by far. Awesome work

[@Russell3267]

JordyBoy I have to agree the majority of building tutorials are time lapsed. I love the detail and the description plus the steps for your builds. 💯!

[@empireinabottle3725]

I just want to say that I appreciate the materials list so much!!! Please keep doing this, I love your vids!!!!

[@AaronLongstaff]

No problem a lot of people asked for the material lists so I will continue to do this in my videos, I glad you like them thanks!

[@lilnyxx2873]

There are no words for this build it's amazing thank you do much for the materials list as well because it's one of the things I look for in a build video because I'd rather make the materials then build rather than just get the materials as I build 😃 You also make it so easy to follow steps 😃 Keep up the good work mate 😃

[@AaronLongstaff]

Hi CJayne's Shenanigans and thank you for your comment I started adding the materials due to viewer requests I'm glad you like the video and good luck with the build 🛠🛠🛠😃

[@treborman7816]

Nice house build 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thanks Isaacs faming

[@treborman7816]

Btw can you show us how to build large Dino pen?

[@fbgduval]

i have a hard time figuring out how to place roof pieces i still dont know how

[@zesassygerman]

i absolutely LOVE how you hide your Wyvern in the woods! like i see that wittle waggy tail lol! I look for it in every video!! ♥

[@firehawk6008]

Wow I’m blown away, this tutorial says exactly what you need to snap points and correct measurements thank you so much this video is amazing

[@nintendo7841]

Am I the only one who noticed the red glow of an alpha in the bushes 😂😂😂 great building man keep up the hard work!

[@ohhmystarrs]

I LOVE your builds. Best Ark build videos EVER. Beautiful designs, with lots of space and multifunctions. I built this on my server today and I can't wait to fill it up. Planning to build many of your other designs as well. Would love to see material lists for all of the videos though. It's nice to be able to plan ahead. Only a few don't have the mat lists. Would be AWESOME to see a cage/flyer design. And also TREEHOUSES

[@DJ-LadyG]

I am currently following this video step-by-step. You sir are a great instructor! I like that you take it slow and explain each step and even give the zoomed out view of "This is how it should look at this point". I've tried to follow other build videos and I can't seem to get then right. But great work comes from a great teacher! Thank you so very much!

[@DirtySouthGaming]

Awesome build! I'd just like to add that if you choose not to put the 3 glass panes and glass door frame on the top part of the house then it leaves you with an awesome argy/ptera landing pad! Super functional and no need for security since this works best as a PVE house.

[@madcapmagician3130]

Built this nearly exactly, made a few changes like putting storage under the stairs and a genie under the ramp, awesome build.

[@robotjunk6965]

you are simply the best man, your videos are easy af to follow and the music makes me non violent , Respect !

[@dalemcgill7714]

I'm in the middle of building this house in my current playthrough, I have used other videos of yours for other buildings in the same play through, like the small green house, next will be the firepit one, great videos, clear and easy to follow

[@TheIagorx8]

Just found out this little gem of a channel, and I'm here to stay. Really good videos man, keep up the awesome work!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thanks you Thelagorx8 and welcome aboard!! 😃

[@IGIVEINPS3]

Got it built in centre of ragnarock, on top of waterfall over looking over all the canyons. Looks awsome. Nice one. Awsome vid and explained sooo well.

[@stvce]

This house is amazing, very well made, it seems like you need a lot of time to do it, but the aftermath of it, it's amazing.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you yeah should not be that long so long as you make the materials before hand!

[@BeanFeed]

I never could build something this great. Man, you deserve to have at least 10M. Props to you.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@nightingale2140]

love your build just discovered this channel and I love it so I'm going to stay here keep up the great work

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you ever so much and welcome!

[@frostkitsune9714]

I love your videos! I've built everything you've uploaded so far, and they're amazing. I just wanted to show my appreciation for helping us in our survival on the Ark. Thank you!

[@AaronLongstaff]

+YoungAssassin Gaming ah thank you my friend it's a pleasure I'm glad you like the builds

[@davidxxxdbxxx1402]

Wow man, very nice build. The way you take the time to include how to build it down to the smallest detail is awesome.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you David so glad you like it!!

[@josephmoore286]

I wanted a nice, large main base. Thanks! I freaking love your tutorials. So clear, and nice looking builds. I am going to copy this build but with adobe for my Scorched Earth :)

[@AaronLongstaff]

+Joseph Moore thank you my friend it would be great to see this built in Adobe!

[@boopygamer9423]

Thank you so much for inspiring me to try to build houses in ark!!! No more square box bases for me!

[@armorris82]

I know I’m a few months late but Wow! I’ve been playing Ark for a little while but all the houses I ever built are glorified litter boxes compared to this dream jungle home. AMAZING JOB!!!

[@Ba1ster]

This is gonna take me ages making this but well worth it!! Thankyou for sharing!!

[@DulantGaming]

Absolutely love all of your builds, i am recreating them myself on my private server and adding some modded touches but the use of vanilla architecture is awesome!

[@maxwell5247]

Great building tutorial. Watching it 5 times in a row and copied every single step, but with thos dinosaur pen. Also I've expanded this dinosaur pen so now I can fit 6 Magmasaurs next to each other in it

[@Robbbbbb123]

Awesome tutorial and massive bonus points for putting the required items int he description!!! :D Helped me a lot

[@raptorrsr5817]

all of these builds are epic!! I'm connection them all together to make on big one!! please do more like a underwater base that looks epic please

[@hales_th520]

I built this!!! It was way easier then expected and Looks fantastic

[@chandrasekharlimit4547]

Been subscribed for a while, just wanted to stop in and say I just absolutely love your videos Man, they are so comprehensive, and really well done and though out!

[@Mrmoopydoppy]

TRULY the best ark tutorialist I have found on the internet. Much love man, keep up these amazing builds as I will keep checking weekly to see more amazing builds. Subscribed.

[@S3PT1M1]

by far the most detailed guides ive seen for building, right down to telling about controls for the fineky shit. very nice earned a sub :)

[@Spooky4Ever]

I just now subscribed, I was going through Ark vids on how to build and you happened to be the top builder. I built this home btw. It helps.

[@robinvandendorpe2180]

Dude you a ledgend bruh !! Tis is what I needed and you even put the mats required thx m8

[@laurenskaar6347]

Thank you for this tutorial! You make the best tutorial videos on KZbin!! I run a dedicated server on PS4 and we are starting Primitive Plus soon. I plan to build this Prim Plus style!! 👍🏼😃

[@fishfossils8858]

Okay for any that made the same mistake i did and placed too many foundations or whatever the case may be,i just wanna say, this is a very great build by a very great builder and its very easy to improvise so don't panic just build on and add as needed

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thanks FishFossils for the kind words...I agree with your comment my builds can be followed step by step or you can use your creativity and expand and improve.

[@nickpassino7004]

I watched the video as I built it. Well done man. Thank You

[@ZeXvl.]

i just finished the build today on ark mobile! Took me 3 days to get the materials and i dont have god console..thanks aaron for a nice design!!

[@harkishanvanik2679]

I also play in mobile and I am building it love from India

[@derekbsmith87]

Really good build, I built it on my server and decided to do some add ons. That's what I like about these vids is because they give me so much inspiration! Keep up the good work can't wait for the next one.

[@CaptainPeterParan]

Great job! I've been looking for a tutorial like yours for Ark. Yours and UTC are great building tutorials that Ark needs!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thanks HawkEye UTC is great I love his builds

[@id10t44]

Best Ark build tutorials I’ve seen on here. Beautiful designs man! Building this on the server I’m on. Will put your name on it. Thanks!

[@chaplin369]

Fyi, I build your work online and in single player. I've done the cottage a dozen times on random servers, and in single player. I've done this one twice online. And I'm loving your red barn. I'm doing a huge farm in single player I'm breeding thylacoleo. They hold amazing colors

[@chrisbrewer513]

Just built this on PVE Official yesterday. Love it! Great vids man, keep em coming!

[@AaronLongstaff]

+Chris Brewer thanks buddy

[@danumanuban]

Why pve official?

[@jamesderepentigny5446]

Watching this again is very nostalgic for me, despite the video being only 3 years old. Me and some friends built this on a pve server and we had some great times in this house. Thank you so much for doing what you do

[@phuocmai5023]

Respect to you man. What a masterpiece!!! Keep doing these great videos. *thumbs up*

[@callsign_odin_591]

Dude i can't wait to get home and build this on my dedicated server!! going to be the main villa of my kingdom now! if you ever have any ideas for a viking themed house let me know!! keep up the good work dude

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you Andy you should send me a PIC if you build it

[@cortanaai5083]

This is so beautiful omg!! Please keep up the magnificent work! I just found your channel and im in love with it!

[@roybrocker]

ONe of you best builds Aaron! Very amazing. I think I may use it in my world!

[@Kap-28]

Your videos are amazing, keep up the great work buddy!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thanks Glad you like it

[@samie5602]

been itching to build these for a while and finally did. made a few tweaks though since our dedicated is primitive plus. so using brick in place of stone with wood is nice. did it with the hatchery/breeding pen as well. lumber and cement. def would love to see you build something with all the options primitive plus has. potential there

[@n0pu1s3]

Incredible design. I love all your buildings and how you make a tutorial on how to build them and the resources needed. I was wondering if you planned on making a house but with an area on top of the house for a Wyvern. And have stairs going up to access the Wyvern :). I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve :)

[@AaronLongstaff]

+n0pu1s3 thanks my friend yes I plan on making a large house 🏡 soon that can hold larger dings including Wyverns

[@n0pu1s3]

Aaron Longstaff can't wait to see what design you come up with :)

[@zulu4echo483]

Hoping I can get enough time off of work for this, but I'd like to try and build all of your builds in to like a community gathering area. Maybe take a while, but your builds are pretty fun.

[@AaronLongstaff]

+zulu4echo ** that would look amazing my friend

[@StugieSimba]

This is by far the best ARK building channel. Keep up the amazing work!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you my friend so glad you think so

[@venomx2854]

I am from India bro ur videos are so good that they forced me to leave a comment I am making this house for the second time "keep it up " Ur creation is really good

[@TheFrozenFractal]

Keep up the great work! Love this build.

[@nautilusproject6996]

Thank you for your work on your chain you make magnificent construction continues like this

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thanks you my friend!!

[@empireinabottle3725]

Also I think a Multi level Dino pen, or maybe a egg farm, would be super helpful! Keep making great vids!

[@Miguel-Red]

Im in love with your work!!!! keep with the good work

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you Yohsue and thank you for watching!

[@TSPxEclipse]

Made this my museum (the show-off section of my tribe's base) First floor has boss related stuff, second floor has alpha and dino stuff, and the third floor has collectables (artifacts).

[@Caleb-fu2kd]

This is the best Ark building channel I've ever seen!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Nice of you to say so thank you Jenny!

[@mango-dt2pv]

Love your channel, making great builds for those of us without s+ mod

[@empireinabottle3725]

I was wondering when your next video is gonna drop. These builds are too good!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you the next video should be up in a few days I'm busy editing it now!

[@tylerf1473]

Yo I built this in my world and it looks so good thanks man for going step by step👍

[@manohmanr2466]

I was in a tribe on ark mobile and they had this base! Now I realise where they got it from but unfortunately I left ark for about a month and came back to see everyone had stopped playing also and we lost all our Dinosaurs and mammals and the base, but this looks amazing to be honest and it’s a great tutorial!

[@sandyj1561]

Just made this with the little one! Was awesome thank you xxx

[@TheSmoliveirinha]

Thank you so much for sharing this beauty 😊😊😊 . Already done her today , it was amazing ;))))))

[@monkeyminer3367]

pls start doing the finishing touches! Do interior tuts of the buildings you create!:)

[@eurienceable]

just got done building. amazing Thank​ you for the tutorial!!

[@flikitisideways9953]

Hey Aaron i was wandering if you had a kitchen build for us Thanks for the good work keep it up

[@lilmonster1059]

Thanks so much took me around 1hr to build keep up the good work you just earned another subscriber! Do more tutorial videos :)

[@davethadawgSco]

Built on raggy redwoods with a little modifications to have it sat in a river looks beast

[@AaronLongstaff]

+David Robertson nice do you have a pic?

[@davethadawgSco]

steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/851595787018726872/3F6F3CA23D7908CCE589617D9D5C6D336DEEADD0/

[@AaronLongstaff]

That looks awesome I love the bridge and the trophy head is a nice little touch!!

[@kevintkeith007]

awesome house. I just built this, took me 2 days and lots of adderal. Couple things though. I'm not sure if you have to be an admin, which I'm not, but hiring back only brings up my map. You didn't include the doors to get to the balconies. I guess you didn't notice because you're capable of floating around on the outside. And the top floor side windows, when you put the stone foundations for aesthetic reasons, there's a stone that hangs right in front of the window. Don't think I'm criticizing, this is incredible. I'd never be able to do something like that by myself. I think you did an incredible job.

[@megiqn6702]

This was one of my favorite builds to do but it always felt too small. Witch lead me into thinking... what if it was built around a behemoth gate? If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to see a version of this but on a behemoth gate size lvl.

[@246Bluejay]

Love your videos first time building and when i did this i got excited 😁 thanks for your help

[@spartan117m15]

Idk why but this reminds me of something someone would build on the Halo 3 map Foundry for Infection gametype

[@kamalallahyarov9552]

I've done all the stuff, now it's time to build a building, I'm going man, see you.

[@robcor100]

Sick your like the best ark builder I ever met

[@yourbasicstreamer0637]

Wow! Thanks for the base design I'm a admin in one of my friends sever and I made a bigger version as the admin base! Thanks alot

[@PatRaff44]

Just finished building great job👍👍👍!

[@jimmywhale8961]

well done fella, really good job on that build gave me alot of ideas an i learnt afew things also thanks buddy

[@kristanmoore7851]

This is my favorite build so far. I've made this one a few different types and tweaked it to fit whatever build we are doing at the time. I've watched my husband play ark for about 3 years and I've finally got into it because of you. I always enjoy watching your videos. They are definitely the best ark building videos I've seen. Do you have anything western?

[@tommcdermid7118]

Love you builds, it would be great if you do scorched earth tutorials! Keep up with the amazing videos👍

[@AaronLongstaff]

Some Adobe builds should be on their way soon thank you for your kind comments

[@tommcdermid7118]

Cool, keep up the good work

[@tomikingstone2504]

MAAAAAAN ITS SOO COOOL Im watching to much wideos from you and dude its a cool designed modern and old style like otter shark pen or this big house i start to build not to easy to build but cool and biiiiig thanks to make that video now can i live a comfortable home. :)

[@alexcia123]

It came out great! Thank you!!

[@gladiater9118]

These vids keep getting better

[@josephbenitez4620]

Guys if you like building in ARK there's an app on android (idk about iOS) there's an app called Survive ARK Companion and there's a really helpful resource calculator. Btw awesome build Aaron. Resources for this build: 14350 stone 14096 wood 6783 thatch 1217 fiber 53 metal ingots 177 crystal 54 cementing paste

[@muddrunner413]

Dang u had me confused for a hr for the silliest thing haha. U say "skip" 2 foundations an put another fence foundation, when its really skip 1 an put it in the next lol. But great builds man. All of them. Wished I had that kinda time to do it.

[@mvolle1992]

Love watching your videos!

[@chaser0121]

I am Japanese. I thought your idea was very good and used it for reference!! (Sentence may be wrong) 頑張ってください！応援してます！

[@markrichards1640]

First off, Aaron let me just start by saying your tutorials are hands down the best. Secondly, which brings me to my reason of posting. Could you do a tutorial of a medium sized Tek base? most that ive seen are water based and to be honest...pretty crap. If anyone can do an aesthetically pleasing mid sized Tek base with easy to follow instructions it is you my sir. Hope you read this :)

[@DanniGN]

Thank you very much Aaron, I am very happy with the house I made it on the island of herbivores in ark mobile

[@jeremyveal8823]

love your builds i use them all the time great work just did this 1 :)

[@HeavymetalHylian]

very cool, but I think a little asymmetry would really make it awesome

[@anabominationofsightandsou7540]

you, sir, are a god among men.

[@NWGR]

Beautiful job! I love the design elements with using pillars. :-)

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so much glad you like the build!!

[@cooperwolfe1731]

This is actually a really cool build

[@AaronLongstaff]

Why thank you Cooper Wolfe!

[@Gamingkidandothers]

You just got a sub this video was so helpful I had such a noob house now that your in my life I built this I've only just started and it looks good I know this video is old but plese never give up youtube your channel will some day make it to a million subs and I'll be there to watch you do it plz this is all I ever ask for you NEVER QUIT KZbin from your friend Tj.

[@zombieblaster5754]

the dedicated server i play on just went up on ragnarok and i just built a temparary house until i get what i need to build this, the people who tribe with me havent even gotten on yet so they will hopefully get a big surprise

[@brenycanterbury8967]

MAN! This is awesome! Me and my tribe have decided to go ahead and build this house on our server. Btw we are on xbox as well if you ever wanna come hang with us my man!
