Building an Automatic Organic Polymer Farm - ARK Survival Ascended [E34]

[@Syntac]

next episode: Syntac singlehandedly crashes the server with penguins

[@tfoley455]

How do you Increase tame limit I tried to Just up the number on the server settings but it didn't work

[@parasite4201]

Your choice. You can still have landing pad entrances. But detailed penguin or argy base. Look at it from dif positions off the lake. But I can't stop seeing and argy face n beak for atleast the center building. And no I'm not on drugs. Maybe a tad delusional. But def not drugs.

[@gSzzz-z9t]

How much poly do you really need? If only you'd tweak harvest rates and stacking like you do your breeding rates, you'd be all set.

[@forgeflame]

Syntax you could put turrets upside down on the entrance of your base to keep them out that might look cool

[@thomassidebottom7923]

I just have to say it: Me when I build a base in Ark: "All my things fit on this square platform." Syntac when he builds a base in Ark: "The old gods shall be made proud once more!"

[@PouchyTheCanadianAlpaca]

Syntac: *builds a whole dang castle and is still making it bigger*

[@rainbow_skye1060]

The irony of Axes note while Syntac is breeding Penguins 🤣

[@AnatoleK]

I wish Syntac would join the pranks. For me it's half of the entertainment of having them in ther same server lol Like, he completely ignored the creepy dummy Axe left very near the new farm.

[@valkyriesmilk6697]

You should get a mochops, maybe even mutate the meele a bit and pump everything into polmer harvesting for the best results use the alt bite attack

[@borzoilover4156]

Yeah but they cant do it automatically

[@ogsassofrass5326]

Moschops gather more when not being ridden

[@AnatoleK]

@@borzoilover4156 I didn't try it yet (plan on doing it on the weekend), so I'm not sure, but I've read somewhere that you could leave a moschops on neutral and on wander, so it will harvest the penguins after they die of hunger.

[@-viscosity]

The KZbinr 'Doth' has a great video about polymer farms, and I believe he found the pelagornis to be the best way to harvest it. I don't think it was by much, but I know for a fact that the moschops wasn't the best

[@geminiproject704]

Moschops (and many other creatures) are having issues with harvesting small corpses while ridden. And moschops won’t do it automatically, as someone said earlier. If you’re doing a manual farm, using an oviraptor to collect up eggs and hatching them all at once it might work. But be mindful of that issue.

[@loganchristensen2253]

I love how he’s like “how are Argys flying in?” Considering the fact that his base is basically wide open. 😂😂😂😭😭

[@blackhat4206]

Well, the single turret has done good work in the past. Definitely poorly defended, but it certainly looks nice. Lol

[@obayalnajjar5224]

you can place turrets on walls or hang them down from the ceilings upside down. You can place them at the pointy ends hanging upside, they will be hardly noticeable and will cover everything that could fly into the base.

[@builder969channel6]

For some reason the baby penguins don't drop as much as their wild counterparts, however if you wait for them to become adolescent then they give a fair amount. This was an issue Raas was having in his playthrough.

[@justulistories5509]

But is this really worth it? I mean you have to get them through baby phase...you can use this time to hunt for wild ones

[@GPxGP]

I love what you did with the railings. It's great what they've allowed some structures to do.

[@FrigFrogGaming]

I love that you implement your style of building to EVERY building you create, tying your entire base together to look like some cool medieval dwarven fantasy type area and I just adore it 🤣 it's not my type of style but as you continue on with it and build more and more they start to become legit works of art. I'll never forget how breathtaking the community building you made in Calabasas was.

[@BlackCatsGamer]

Thanx for another awesome vid Syn , your a champ! Also Ask Axe what piece of clothing he may still be lacking from your colour set as a thank you for saving your Meg bro ...

[@Boo-pc7wp]

Syntac you can actually kill and harvest your own creatures in official pve now. Makes it a lot easier for us breeders (:

[@sillys-xv1ht]

How please teach me

[@ezriemora5315]

how??

[@katyalupochev9589]

Wait so you can kill unclaimed babies you’ve bred, even though they’re technically not yours yet unless claimed?

[@Boo-pc7wp]

mmmm they MIGHT have to be claimed because i shot my baby argy with a crossbow bolt and killed it LMAO @@katyalupochev9589

[@sophomorekid]

Syntac plays pvp

[@MrBishop077]

@31:00 you could use a few railings placed 90ish off the beams up top. Make a 4 or 5 point 'grate' to keep things out but still leave it open. also the Railings @28:30 look really cool but check and see if you can pass thru them. I made something similar (tho not nearly so artistic) and found i could walk thru the gap in the rails. Im going to make the pattern you are using and test to see because it looks very nice and i like wide open views .. but dont like it when critters can come in uninvited. @35:30 also remember you can paint the flame on torches with the paintbrush section 4 and 5 to change the color and glow. Mist= a bright electric white, Ice = a touch more blueish electric white. so then you can stuff the torches with sparkpowder and get the same visual effect for a much cheaper cost. keep up the hard work. =)

[@baconberries8097]

According to the trap master Captain Fatdog, both flyers and underwater creatures actually don't have any pathfinding. He has a whole video on it. Another thing from that vid is that apparently creatures really don't like walking over fence foundations.

[@andrebrown10101]

Lmfao Axe called it with the Dodo😂

[@Nob0dy1791]

axeman saved your megladon in his last video you might need to go check on and maybe both get together and make it safer to store them.

[@1EyeLewis88]

Putting in the work lately mate,fair play how you keep on top of three series and RL.👏🏻

[@diabloprops]

Could you tier the floating penguins to make a penguin chandelier?

[@MechaVivi]

Really really appreciate this video showing the build! You gave me some great new ideas to try on my base!

[@DurtyThirty]

32:38 that sunroof is amazing 🤩

[@s1ck_st3]

I would really like the one episode a day of this series to come back :(

[@hitavi4965]

Glad to see the ASA Island series is back, although I definitely won't complain about all the other awesome content we've been getting lately! (I really wasn't expecting to like farcry primal this much)

[@Highrider0]

From what I gathered the LvLs gained through taming are distributed randomly so taming all high lvls regardless of wild stats could be profitable

[@Shavice64]

Thanks for the videos I’m learning lots

[@deadeye4047]

Avatar talk: Just so you know, Avatar plays extremely similarly to Primal, but the stealth is kinda broken. Enemies will see you as soon as you're in their line of sight.

Yes lets gooo another syntac vid 👋👋👋 love the contet to so keep it upp🤟👍

won't use mods, but has crazy breeding rates so stuff like this works.

[@ROB_LAW98K]

Syntac, I started watching u during the Jurassic Park series and I’ve learned everything I know about Ark from u! Do u think you’ll try a JP series again if they added a mod for it on ASA??

Keep the videos coming Syntac, amazing content and quality!!

[@li1misschrissy473]

Use a high melee moschops and pump its skill into Organic Poly you'll get tons of Poly, Pelagornis is only good for wild penguins

Can you paint the flame of all torches like wall torches, standing torches, fire place, and campfire? Cause that could solve the angler gel issue if it works!

finally,it took 1 week for another island vid, pls do more,island is my favorite asa project, cant wait every day for another episode, much better than svartalfheim

[@axo736]

100 percent agreed.

[@SK-ij6ng]

yea, in ASA they need to grow a lil bit in order to drop a decent amount of polymer

[@snowsiegewolf494]

Unlike the wild kariuku (which the babies give the most polyer), tamed kariuku only give max amount of polymer when they are full grown.

[@parasite4201]

Can we all agree that syntac should just make his base visually look like an argentavis or a penguin from the front view. Because let's be honest. The shape is already there. It just needs the time and detail

[@PedroDMilla]

35:42 THE ONE PIECE, THE ONE PIECE IS REALLL! CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER, SOO HIGHERRR

Honestly the only thing (other than greenhouses) that I would change about the building would be the ability to put pillars on a slanted roof/stair/ramp. The railings sometimes just don’t work well enough

[@leriasblack]

Love the little farm huts idea

[@leeChMSI]

adolescent penguins give the most polymer. i personally use the oviraptor to harvest eggs and hatch them all at once and let them grow before harvesting with the pelagornis

[@reacreations]

true but its not an 'auto' farm then now is it? youre gonna get all you need either way and its not a huge difference in the amount but auto lets you do other things as well while gettin the poly passively in the bg

[@Syntac]

Even if I only had like 20 females, itll make enough polymer for whenever I need to craft something

[@leeChMSI]

OP spoils fast, and on a server and not SP it's gotta be minimal gains if you kill the babies@@reacreations

[@leeChMSI]

i was running 46 females (on solo) and getting like 250 OP with auto...on a server i'd imagine that'd be a good amount less with the OP timers...honestly i think 5 mins of work would make a huge difference with the oviraptor/adolescence route...whatever you do, i'll still be watching lol @@Syntac

[@reacreations]

@@leeChMSI its honestly not as major as youre tryin to make it out to be, unless youre on an official pvp server the difference you get between the two isnt big enough to matter and again i reiterate the idea here in particular is that he wanted an auto farm and as he already told you the auto farm will get him more then enough for whatever he needs it for

[@penutbutter22]

The building looks like the Jurassic Park visitor center

[@mahmoudelgendy2516]

I think the way to do it is to get the penguins on the ceiling and then use dino hitshing for all of them (idk if its in this game it was s+ thing) then you take the ceiling off that way they will float

Can you bring back Sky Mammoth please

[@Godfree515]

If you get it going with polymer you're probably going to want to have that ceiling closed off. If you're going to have the Pelagornis on aggressive I'd be more worried about it pathfinding out the top to attack something than something getting inside. If the plant species X dont kill stuff fast enough he might try taking a stroll around The Island! The idea to just hop in every once in a while and go on a purge might be the better option if they wind up needing time to grow for more polymer.

[@trainershade1937]

Alright, those secret doors to the generator and trough are actually really funny. Also when it comes to the farm, does anyone know if the Kairuku actually drop more polymer than Hesperornis? If it's about the same, it could be more valuable to use them for the farm instead, as any unfertilized eggs could be turned into oil AND you'd be able to throw some outside for Golden Eggs (assuming the lake has fish, though I recall that unfortunately not being the case).

Problem is hesperornis is annoying to tame While Penguin is just either get the baby or tranq it.
