ARK: Survival Evolved (How To Build A Beginner House)

This tutorial is for a Beginner/Starter House something a little different from myself as I have had requests to show off some building technics. In this guide, I will show you step by step how we built this small house so you can follow along or just get some inspiration for your own builds. If you have any questions on ark feel free to ask down below. All the music I have used to make this episode are from epidemic sounds.

Beginner house? On my best day, deep into a game, using all my architectural imagination, I still end up putting a roof on a box.

[@carlantonio31]

YOOOOOOOOOO WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH SAME! still in a 10x10 box-like metal base in single player......but for me it doesnt matter what kind of house u r in....its enough to protect us from wild dinos or weather.. but ya know, I'm smth of an engineer myself imagining fancy house builds but too damn lazy to build

[@MAR19980]

lol more than 4000 woods

[@MAR19980]

but it's really beautiful worth the time

[@SKRWdFaLife90]

Lol right.

[@Texas-iv5us]

Lmfao! This is literally me, that was a funny ass comment

[@ismailnaha5440]

Lol

[@fanarkboy8543]

This will be added to my Ark building playlist. Nice little cozy starter house.

[@jonathanboxwell6521]

Great guide and some beautiful work!! Enjoy your playthrough (no mods -- especially since I'm just starting on PS4 version 😁) and these type of guides are an excellent starting point for my builds. You give great hints along the way, like I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get rid of the tops of pillars sticking out (now I have to undo an hour of work, lmao... The OCD in me as well). Keep it up!!

[@777CyberX]

If you hit 'Q' while you have something snapping in, you can swap its snap position if you can hit it at your angle. Helped me fix some walls I attempted to put up snap correctly together without the gaps. Great video btw!

[@CompleteGamesWithJames]

I will give it a try next time cheers :)

[@wesleymcgaugh7943]

I was just about to say that when I saw this comment nicely done

Nice man! Like an actual home not just a box like I'm guessing a lot of us are living in atm lol keep the content coming! Great channel for ark players 👌🏻

[@CompleteGamesWithJames]

Thank-you and it seems that a few people have enjoyed this so I'm working on another build for a raft this week as the complete series has mainly had me focussed on gathering hide and metal so I can't really show much progress on that playthrough.

[@raymondcarire5918]

Great vid and build. I love the simple yet cozy look and the location in awesome.

[@CompleteGamesWithJames]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@e_rice3525]

I’m having trouble at 19:58 where the thing keeps saying that the sloped roofs are “obstructed” when I followed everything step by step, no matter what I do it just does not work, can you tell me what I did wrong?

[@Radio6890]

Thank soooooooooooo much

[@adalewilson2408]

it was amazing

[@kakaosmagergodt]

"starter" home xD nice build dude ! next can you build a advanced home ? :D

[@rehandbd001]

Woo so beautiful house I build this house

[@KetsuekiRose]

is there a functional reason to have all the ceiling tiles going the same way?

[@soulshinobi]

9:56 You can hold a torch and build at the same time.

[@rickwebb769]

Can you show us how to ascend (map hopp) to other maps on xbox .. So far ever vid i have tried has failed or doesnt really show it well

[@graemepaton3024]

Love this wee shack, I would rather live in this than a square box like I'm used to on pvp 😂

[@WorstArkPlayer]

Graeme Paton yeah I was getting tired of a box too lol, mine always resembled a cargo container

[@graemepaton3024]

😂😂 Thanks to cryo pods you don't need a massive area for dinos either

[@laurenlumsden28]

Haha me too

[@1ordtyrannus886]

Nice dude!

[@CompleteGamesWithJames]

Thanks as always @indifference

[@joe_mama2353]

One part of the build won't work its we're the thatch roof goes over the balcony when I remove the wall it brakes how do I fix that

[@garethgoodwin6470]

I love all your videos are you doing to go back to the island on ark James

[@alanhuynh2000]

i like how you didn't use mods, cheats and actually showed the real life struggles of how normal players build. Weather, encumbrance angles etc.

[@adamski9952]

Hey can you even say what is the build button...

[@NorseValkyrin]

Will this work with stairs?

[@lux7991]

Thanks

[@emmaguin5112]

Thannkkkss

[@vexingcat9813]

I love this sort of thing. :-)

[@CompleteGamesWithJames]

Cheers @vexing cat I build in bits but thought I would give it a try and seems that people like it. Just experimenting with different ideas for the channel.

[@Red_Void]

Tysm

[@garethgoodwin3824]

How do I get the thunder on Ark pls can you help

[@zotthefirstjs]

The fence foundation is why you clip upstairs

[@chloehumphreys8808]

For the people wondering why their thatch roofs break over the balcony its probably because youre using the S+ version, I had to use the Vanilla ones just for that part :)

[@bilalbinabdullah5517]

Can you made easy and best home because this house is harder

[@laynethebreadlord7373]

My beginner house was a really long wooden box

[@mateogutierrez5338]

Same

[@novatic7222]

Not bad

[@solimay7966]

Wow

[@woahitsnotmeatymarley]

24:32 is when he stops talking about stuff other then the building

[@BlazeMrdr]

what happens if you dont add those wooden pillars for your balcony? Seem like game still lets you build that out

[@cursedtoilet8035]

its for decoration it makes it look better

[@ethanbrock2739]

How’s it going

[@garethgoodwin3824]

How do you get the thunder and lightning on Ark can you help

[@CompleteGamesWithJames]

it's on the center map which has its own weather and Scorched earth also has thunder and lightning which turns off electricity in a storm so its down to the map you play on

[@memelordthanis2240]

*doesn't show a requirement for stone foundations* *immediately starts with stone foundation*

[@memelordthanis2240]

it's a lovely base though, just wish I had a warning that I needed stone foundation cause I'm building this in the blue zone of Aberration

[@rickwebb769]

Would have been great to see .. command (SetTimeOfDay 07:00:00) Boom instant new day.. and we can see

[@supersaiyenkirby3320]

1:12

[@berenthebear1313]

Can you design a starter home raft to help new players join the old pve servers with a million pillars blocking you from building in the starter areas. Even a guide on how to join any PVE server and bare essentials needed to quickly build a raft base.

[@CompleteGamesWithJames]

I did a lev 1/25 guide and in that, I did a starter raft build but will definitely do a guide on building a raft.

[@CaptainSteen]

"Beginners Guide"? How did you make the walls and parts etc? How did you get all that in your inventory?

[@AnthonyRodriguez-sx5su]

Begginers guide into building the home, not acquiring the resources.

[@carlantonio31]

read the description comrade as well as the title comrade, it says beginner house, this aint a video on how to craft walls or some shiz, (no offense my guy, my words are light)

It's The center

[@lovs2build2]

Nice video, thanks for sharing, however you have wood foundations and not stone in your list @1:14

[@hamzab.4341]

oml, he's just showing what you need, not what he has, his point is you don't need stone foundations, wood can do
