Nice design you've got, thanks for sharing. I just wanted to mention that you don't have to do the old ASE pillar and fence foundation to lower foundations anymore. With the new ASA build mechanics you can use the cursor keys to raise them up and down after the first click when placing them (same time as when you can rotate the structure). Saves some time and resources and it's also very handy for base building on slightly bumpy ground to minimise having to split your foundations over two levels.
@Fynixmech8 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yeah I found out this way shortly after making this vid. The only thing I don't like it you kind of have to eyeball it more to try to line the foundation up straight. I can see where it would be useful though for sure.😄
@michaelpatrick69849 ай бұрын
You could put a door on the back so you could use it as a dino trap. The dino chases you inside then you exit the door, run around and close the gate. You could put the door on the back and then build a small sidewalk around to the gate door.

That could work! I have a bunch of ideas for some builds!
@isty44919 ай бұрын
Add ceilings to the tops of dino gates, add "doorway walls" all around those new ceilings and you got a taming cage on top to drop wild dinos into Youll also need somewhere to stand to tranq them from, so either make the pen itself a bit smaller, or add extra ceiling etc, do it to suit you Personally i would use Pillars not gates, and build the cages out to the side, and remember you can build out about 5 tiles from your original foundations now, and go relatively high Only real limit is when it comes to navigating trees, rocks, canyon walls etc Always find your own personal balance of Form vs Function Great design though, and thanks for sharing, hit the LIKE people, it is the LEAST you can do for YTers Ooh and dont forget Tuso deterarets like Turrets or Plant Species X maybe on the sloped bits I dont play official settings, so YMMV, but i havent tweaked raft restrictions AFAIK

Fantastic tutorial. This is the first one I’ve ever seen that made me actually want to give it a try. I had to make one slight adjustment with the fence foundation placement but it turned out the same as yours. The field of view isn’t the best, but I can’t see many designs being better. All in all, I’m pleased with my new boat. It was big enough to tote my raptor around, as well as picking up a carby, two iguanodons, and a dilo. I think I’m going to adapt this into a cargo ship for bringing back, more/larger tames as well

I was looking for something to build to safely transport my dinos. Looks like this is it! In the rear section I made it one more tile wide and long to fit more dinos in it. The only thing I might have to play with is adding a roof in the rear to protect from the air; although so far it's only been Ichthyornis that have attacked. In "K" mode I can zoom out farther to see better and see underwater, though I can't steer in that mode. I tried putting wall torches on the inside vertical walls to light it up and even a campfire but they don't seem to provide any light, only my handheld torch does. If curious, I put two storage cabinets on the inside walls, four more smaller storage boxes on each side, and still fit three Raptors, two Lystros, and an Ichythornis, then just me and my trusty shouldered Dimorphodon at the helm. In the back: two Stegos, two Sabertooths, an Argentavis, and a Perasaur. I would like to fit my other dinos in there too but I might just take two trips.
@Fynixmech7 ай бұрын
Yeah, I feel like this build is good for a specific dino/dinos with a specific purpose or task you're going to do. If you're trying to move a whole base worth of dinos there's other designs that would be a little bit better at it. That's pretty great how many dinos you are able to fit in there though!
@jookm7 ай бұрын
@Fynixmech I ended up adding a ceiling using hatch openings for light one level below gate height except for one tile in the center closest to the oar so that I could see where I was going. Then added a small door to one side of the gate to get out of since it's all enclosed now. Worked great! This build reminds me of armored boats from the Civil War era.

I've always wanted to raft around some areas but my main issue is I play ASE on console (I know this is ASA but that's not on console yet so I've no idea if it'll have the same issue) and as far as I know on console there's no way to zoom the camera out, even in orbital. So if I build too much, I frankly, can't see shit, and can't drive LOL. This can be someone mitigated on plat saddles due to first person riding, though not ideal. Other than that, certain dinos are EXTREMELY prone to slipping off. Great tutorial, I just wish the platform didn't keep me from trying it properly!
