Ark: Small Watch Tower - How To Build

This is my how to build on a small watch tower. This watch tower design could also be applied to making towers for a castle. id like to here your feedback and know what I should build next. if you enjoyed this video then a sub and a like would be much appreciated, also turn on notifications if your interested in my uploads. Finally I would like to say that I am an admin on the CAMELOT Xbox one and Windows 10 servers. if you like building castles and are interested in RP Servers, here is the link to the FB page: / camelot.land.of.kingdoms

You missed quite a few things needed in the list come on

Do it on PS4 😒 Only pn PC you float around in mid air. If I was playing on PC Id probably build like 74 million buildings every 5 min.. 😒

Thanks for sharing. Im so glad the triangles came to console. Makes building towers so much better

[@SypherSam]

No problem and thank you

[@bothetinman772]

Chris W. Use the right bumper.

[@wolfjah]

Awesome, going to build this for my dad, he has always wanted a lookout tower right at the tip of the hill in the far east corner of the island map 👍😁

[@SypherSam]

thanks, sounds awesome!!

[@GreypegasusPlays]

Also a great vid, you really should have more subs😄 I think imma build alot of these they seem to fit quite well with my castle build inspiret by your castels.

[@Gary-gq2le]

Thank you for this great design i am going to utilize this and make a wizard tower next to the green pylon on fjordur 😁

[@NorKovacs1114]

Just finished making it, i love it!

[@etw4life970]

This is a nice design, it could fit with many different build types just by changing up materials a bit. I'm probably gonna adapt this into an Adobe Argy tower

[@SypherSam]

Thank you and good idea

[@mariaagui8316]

Another beautiful build 😍

[@SypherSam]

Thankyou!!

[@GreypegasusPlays]

Maria Agui indeed it is indeed it is

[@mahoganydoughnut6082]

I made this but without the roof on to as a flyer perch it's pretty nice and keeps them out of the way.

[@NorKovacs1114]

I know im probably late but this is amazing

[@chrispelletier5899]

imma build this right in the middle of carno island so i can land without getting mauled by 20 raptors XD nice build

[@SypherSam]

sounds good haha

[@Ben.Orlo88]

Man this is gonna look good at my castle in highlands for Giga spotting lol

[@SypherSam]

Nice!

[@Ibrahim-dy2kw]

Very nice ma dude

[@SypherSam]

Much appreciated!

[@ciberflash6648]

second time building it on a server. both times a long and frustrating progress to build it - but worth it! thanks for sharing 😊

[@supermendi0078]

This design doesn’t seem to work anymore, triangle sloped roofs won’t attach neither in the upper part or the lower part

[@sotrshinigami9061]

For real

[@supermendi0078]

Edit: there is a fix to make the sloped triangles attach on the upper part, but the lower part is still impossible to build because the game won’t allow me to place down walls clipping trough the ground.

[@Boricactuz]

that its happening to me

[@bc4065]

Put a flat triangle ceiling on top of the foundation, then your sloped triangle ceiling will have a snap. Just built this today

[@chrispeters8555]

@@supermendi0078 You need to glitch a wall in the stone foundation... the top I haven't figured out though

[@lauralayla3810]

Well my triangles on the top doesn't wanna go where I want them, Im getting so angry that I gave them up haha

[@chadantonio]

I'm building this to mount a ballista turret at the top so I can chain bola high level Argys.

[@lukask6392]

I just made the tower taller for a nice scouting tower in highlands

[@SypherSam]

Nice!

[@frostgamer9873]

how u can put the triangle roofs?

[@sotrshinigami9061]

I can't get the Triangle roof to fit next to the stairs you have placed on the bottom half lol everything else worked but loved the simple tower design

[@bc4065]

Put a flat triangle ceiling on top of the triangle foundation, then your sloped triangle ceiling will have a snap

I'ma use this to snipe things below

[@regisinfernum3115]

beautifull tower but would not recommend building without god mode.

[@leonardorefunjol7830]

U could have done multiple levels by using the spiral stairs..

[@xflamingarrowmc1324]

This is very impressive! but how do you rotate on xbox?

Thanks man!

[@colbybranstietter3255]

How did you place the sloped triangle pieces for the base of the tower? I just can't seem to make them align correctly

[@SypherSam]

@@colbybranstietter3255 this snap points for them are terrible you just has to mess around until you do it

[@xXxMhackiexXx]

you cant put triangle roof on the foundation only in the walls as you can see he is using mod that is why he put the wall inside the foundation to be able to put it on perfectly but in normal game you can`t do these.. you have to abandoned the circle thing and just build a tower

[@SypherSam]

No mods used in this build, it was built on xbox one

[@sotrshinigami9061]

I could see that only cause it dose not want to work for me at all

[@kriiluna9874]

you have to turn on structure collision. Not possible to build this on official servers

[@myles5084]

Is this built with no clip?

[@Scarescrow204]

I want the name of this beautiful music. 😊

[@ImHappy2poo]

I’m new to ark and I’ve got the pillars to work but no luck on the slopes triangle roofs at the base. On xbox

[@SypherSam]

Yeah the sloped triangle roofs are the most annoying thing to place in the game

[@ImHappy2poo]

On Cue also couldn’t get them to work on the upper portions so I gave up. I don’t know what to do. I would rotate it to the correct position but it was obstructed

[@SypherSam]

@@ImHappy2poo are you playing on official?

[@ImHappy2poo]

On Cue yes

[@SypherSam]

@@ImHappy2poo i think that you have to place things a bit differently on official. Personally i don't recommend playing official, i would recommend playing a private server, its much more fun

Bro can you help me? I can’t get the triangle ceilings between the ramps. I’m on Xbox and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I can’t get the walls down in the ground.

[@SypherSam]

I'm not sure what you mean

[@ImmortalFenix88]

I’m having the same issue on PS4, so I slowed the video down and he is able to place a stone wall on the foundation clipped into the ground. That allows the roof to be placed to cover the hole but on PS4 its not allowing me to place the wall below the foundation

[@ImmortalFenix88]

The King hey, I figured it out, I’m spending, you get a regular stone wall and it attaches like normal to the triangle foundation but you hit R1 on Ps and RB on xbox until you see the green holo mesh into the ground of the foundation then make it. The roofs will now fit!

[@ImmortalFenix88]

On Cue Thanks for the video! Its an awesome tower!

[@TheKing-dm3br]

ImmortalFenix88 duuuuuuuuude thank you!! This was a major b**** to get! Thanks again!

[@kazumiko5679]

can it go higher? or is that the max that the stone can support?

are you on mobile?

SypherSam PS4, there’s a difference on different platforms?

@@kazumiko5679 ps4 you shouln't have an issue, on mobile you can only build up so far. SO if you are on ps4 you can build it as high as you want

If you don't like the music then mute it and if some parts are sped up it was to keep the video length down. This video is an older video and my newer videos are easier to follow

Hey i trying to build this watch tower on my own server on the ps4 but....good sir....i just cant it already is taking me 2 days and a lot is not working so can i ask...did you used any mods?? Like a lot of snap points are not snapping and stuff like that plus the video is to short.
