Man you have showed me something I have been trying to figure out how to do and couldn't find it anywhere on any video no matter how many videos or subscribers the person has THANKS A TON

[@Incdrew]

Dameion666 Happy to help! Maybe I need to start making videos again! I didn’t think anyone cared to see them. 😂

[@PankajSondkar]

[@basilmemories]

This is like the Bob Ross of dinosaur minecraft. I didn't know I wanted that until now.

[@Incdrew]

That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time! Glad you enjoyed!

[@BW-dn7dy]

[@tylerjudd1574]

Same i had all these grand ideas and had no idea how to actually do it lol

Wow thanks so much! Really helped! Was able to make a nice long wooden dock for my ships

[@connordickerson6815]

Just precisely what I was looking for old vid but if you see this thanks dude only trouble I'm having with the game right now is a homebase.

[@Tagake]

Thank you so much man, you really helped me out, because of that I liked and subscribed!

[@duogaming2211]

Thanks soo much for this video! I’m trying to build a base that’s partly on land and then kinda extends out to the water to make my raft more accessible. I was just getting really frustrated that I couldn’t build out far enough. And I do play on PS4 so maybe I’ll check out your server sometime

[@uglysamurai6826]

about to impress all the homies with this one appreciate you ♥

4 Years later this stilled helped out!

[@asamiller4540]

Okay I'm kind of building on land like on the shores of a beach but I ran out of room to build exactly how I want so now I'm trying to combine my land foundations and continue building over water with the foundation that I'm using

[@leondaboss410]

Thanks boss appreciate it

[@Incdrew]

Leon Da Boss happy to help!

[@JapaneseSoomi]

Thank you

[@derwunderwaffe6959]

Thanks

[@MystoRobot]

For some reason, the game didn't allow me to place pillars on the seafloor near where I needed a wall built _(it was perhaps 10 meters deep)._

[@sebastiansantamariamartine2054]

I love you ❤️😘,thank you

[@abtvallenboys1343]

What if the deppest part is filled with paranahs

[@WarioTimeWarioTimeWarioTime]

Lead them to shore and spear them, should kill pretty fast.

Either ya fucked lol or add 10+ into oxygen (I dont know the exact amount to add so just add a lot) and u will swim faster

[@N8GHXTMXRX]

Well that's a big problem

[@lyandrissteele2521]

Your mic was very low. Beside that, great video! Thank you so much for it!

[@zaya14.]

hey there question do u have to attach it to land? I was gonna make it only over water. and also how high do the pillars have to be in order to snap the ceiling over them?

[@Incdrew]

zaya14 as long as you connect it to the land at the floor of the body of water you are good. There is no specific height that it must be before placing a ceiling.

[@AR-gn4qr]

I love you

[@Incdrew]

A R I love you more! 😝

[@trentonsnyder4959]

Hexagons?

[@SifArtorias]

Does this still work? I should have looked this up BEFORE I started my above water greenhouse lol. but eh, the pillars are already down, what's done is done.

[@thescorpion3034]

Sooo im kinda new to the game and late to this whole thing, but can u use wooden pillars and cellings?

[@Incdrew]

the scorpion 30 you sure Can!

[@PokkaSoldier]

I can't help to notice his voice seems to change alot according to the water somehow. Maybe not fully but alot when he submerges into the water. 🤣 like *talks then continues to talk even when enters water* 😂

[@Ktctwin]

so is this doable on official?

[@idc9419]

9:19 anyone know this button on pc

[@domonickflores7437]

Does this still work

[@l2robert820]

on a pvp server would i only have to protect the one pillar in the center ?

[@Incdrew]

That is correct!

[@cloudy05]

If one ceiling gets destroyed, would the whole thing not collapsed like if one foundation was broke? Or is that why there are pillars?

[@codyharney2997]

The more pillars the less will collapse but it counts as a foundation

[@frigobooks1178]

I just need to know how to build a frog hatching area😭

[@craig2450]

I have built a base over the deep sea using the same technique as yours but after I have put all the ceilings, now I can’t put any walls underwater except for one wall. Any tips?

[@Incdrew]

Ali 0 what type of server are you on?

[@craig2450]

Sahh Dudes Decade Thanks , I solved the problem

[@hugocarreon6523]

Since you are on PS4. Do you know how to get rid of the tether distance when playing with your friends? It’s annoying having to stay close to your tribe at all times

[@Incdrew]

When playing on a local server you cannot remove the tether.

[@hugocarreon6523]

@@Incdrew is there a tutorial on how to do so?

[@Incdrew]

You cannot do it.

[@IcediaryPrince]

When we build the house already , can we remove that pillar ?

[@Incdrew]

That is a great question, unfortunately you cannot. The primary pillar and additional “grid snapped” pillars are your foundation. Removing an original snap point can potentially compromise anything snapped and placed from them. May I ask, why would you want to?

[@IcediaryPrince]

Sahh Dudes Decade I will left them there then , and thank you very much . And I just asking because I start to build the house on the water so I just want to know more about it 😁

[@Incdrew]

Gotcha!! Good luck!

[@xrpeople2394]

Just found this video.... to.bad you stopped

[@skochko9876]

But how to put foundations on the pillars and how to build double walls on the sides. they can destroy the pillars under it or get to main pillar right away??????

[@Incdrew]

If they get to the main pillar then they are already deep into your base.

[@skochko9876]

@@Incdrew ok. Tnx. But what if they go from under and destroy pillar in water? Are other pillars connected to ceillings or just main? I am not sure I can connect on PC?

[@Incdrew]

You have the discretion to connect as many pillars as you’d like, you can connect them all for more foundation, this is similar a way of doing it quickly. You also can build walls downward to cover possible entry.

[@skochko9876]

@@Incdrew oh yeah. After few tries I realised that. Tnx a lot man :) I really had trouble building. My friend started 2x3 on land and spreaded over water with ceiling. But nothing connected under in water. So it was tricky inventing some solution mid way to connect and secure all. Tnx

[@doodlesacks8357]

So does this still work? great vid btw! :)

[@Incdrew]

Doodle Sacks it’s still working for me. If you miss a grid snap, however, it will through the whole thing off.

[@peterlebuhn]

I thought you had to put a foundation first

[@amazinggrace7423]

Sorry but this is just working using a ps5 controller. Cannot keep the pillars aligned for nothing.

[@kaito9988]

oh my god thanks man i just realized you just need to find the lowest point and it will work lmao,hoping it works in the ocean :)

[@wpg-squad7012]

Rip did it work

[@paulh-man4359]

Do you still have your server open?

[@hollw9474]

Paul Hillman it’s gone :(

[@IdiotWithEducation]

Mine is 30 ish pillars deep how would I do this with that? Also, I'm on an official ps4 server if you would like to join and check it out

[@Incdrew]

Stefen Fuqua as long as the grid is on the bottom and one comes all the way up to surface you’ll be good.

[@IdiotWithEducation]

@@Incdrew what if I'm using it to shield for water tames like squids or megalodons?

[@Incdrew]

Stefen, you can still have them in there, and a passageway might be good to build for removal until you acquire kryopod

[@IdiotWithEducation]

@@Incdrew thanks

[@mirnalthapa1013]

does it still work?

[@Incdrew]

I still do it.

[@keithlaskey199]

Your server still up ??

[@Incdrew]

Keith Laskey it is not. Sorry!

[@keithlaskey199]

DeeEye SeekHey no big deal ... just been looking for a fun server to play

[@purrowpet]

Does this not mean though that a raider could just take out the one pillar and thus break your whole base?

[@Incdrew]

Nova Kiin yes, but in order to get to that pillar they’d have to go through your entire base.

[@purrowpet]

@@Incdrew yea, I suppose in most cases it wouldn't matter. I was building in a cave with a water entrance making it somewhat difficult to protect

[@advancedgaming3834]

You can place walls around that pillar and -but some turrets

[@bennukat5821]

This isnt working for me. I guess they patched this?

[@bennukat5821]

I still have to place pillars all the way to the top and touch the ceilings

[@Incdrew]

I’ll look into this and check for you.

[@eddieadams9201]

@@Incdrew I'm trying this on official, on Valguero and the body of water is pretty deep. There are also a number of boulders deep under the surface. Have you had any success building over water in that sort of environment? Thus far, I am running into a lot of areas where I can get the pillars to snap, or build ceilings across the pillars to force a snap, but the behavior at the surface of the water is hit or miss on if it accepts it as a foundation source. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!

[@BurbuL997]

why building in this game is so stupid, why no one could come up with options like in The Forest, first you set yourself a project that costs you nothing and then report the materials ... you know at least that something can be built or not. In Ark, always at the end of building or in the middle, it turns out that something is impossible or impossible to put up and half a day and millions of materials wasted omg
