Youre doing a good Job! 👍 I allready build a few Things from youre Videos! Keep going on whit it! 😊👍

[@juliaendline5355]

Thank you Aaron Longstaff I've been building this house on my ark world on Ragnarok and it's going good so far I made a little oopsy but I'm fixing it.

[@jeremynachtman4626]

I would absolutely love a video on how to build on slightly uneven ground, ya know, when your foundations stop snapping when it looks like they should just fine. This is what I need more than anything. Nobody else's videos have done a great job explaining and I'm sure yours would.

[@harrydupuis3102]

I had this problem too, and found that if you snap a staircase on the side of the foundation where it stops snapping other foundations, you can snap a foundation under the staircase and it will line up. Then you can throw a wall and ceiling to cover the hole and square it back up

[@last9up]

Thank you!!

[@militarybrat9734]

I don't even 'play' Ark anymore. I've beat it on single player and on private PVE server. I just build now, and you Sir, are my inspiration.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Ah glad to hear!

[@whiteknight012]

Love the build, Buddy! As far as I'm concerned, you can keep doing Medieval stuff forever!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so much

[@Krazzymonkey]

amazing build! im copying it over now and i noticed a step you forgot, between 10:30 and 10:40 you never mentioned anything about adding another layer of walls to make it flush with the railings, obviously its not hard to figure out but in case you didnt know. just thought id mention it.

[@JD33322]

I just finished your Viking Town hall earlier on my PVE “ The Lost Island “ and it was well worth the 2 days to build on the back of my snow owl ( Artemis ) 😂😅 This would go nice along side 👍🏼 Love your work mate .

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so glad you like the builds!

[@montikore]

Aaron, this is so rad. Thanks for your in depth tutorials, they're so helpful. I followed this build on the dual islands on Fjordur(coords roughly 67,62) tucked up against some trees and it's just works so well. Appreciate ya piiiiiiiimp!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you glad you like the builds!!

[@zombiesandcaffeine]

What an amazing build! You have so much dedication, it is truly inspiring. I learned a ton just from the first watch.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you

[@kelanduo5448]

search for a lot of base building tut, always came back to your channel. the design, the detail, your way of presenting the build and everything, that is the result of talent + effort. Love those love those love those. thank u

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so much that means a lot glad you like the builds

[@darklink431]

Always loved your builds and especially loving your medieval series!! Question, any chances you'd be making a bronto platform base eventually? Planning on a fully nomad run of the island soon and love taking inspiration from your videos :)

[@wulfrik2987]

I like that idea

[@Bayloof]

Tysm for this guide, super easy to follow and end result looks amazing

[@DeKuGoGaming]

Amazing build as always! Truly inspiring! Thank you so much!

[@b1gherc750]

Your videos always have the best soundtracks, I sometimes listen to these videos just for the ambient music, while I'm at work.

[@redditor_on_youtube9849]

Hello, I have been loving these builds and am currently working on q treehouse you made about 3 years back! I am really blown away by these builds, and would love, as I cannot find any that you did that wasn't a speed build, a paracer platform saddle build! Thank you for reading if this doesn't occur, have a good day!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so much the reason I have not made a parser build is because the build limit is not big enough on official settings

[@SefiroUltima]

Good as always buddy. I love the shape. You manage to break symmetry with ease. Thanks for sharing.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Cheers Sefiro! It hurts me to break symmetry with my OCD!

[@SefiroUltima]

@@AaronLongstaff It works for me if I purpossedly choose and stick to an asymmetric foundation shape. Or if i join symmetric shapes in odd ways

[@surfninja3402]

Man your builds are Awesome.so informative for materials.I'm just novice engineer Grinder.as of 2021, just started in Ark in fall, joined a Pve cluster and now I'm building like crazy since I built that pirate ship you built. So inspiring .Thank Much Appreciated from Atlantic Coast Canada.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Ah thank you so much glad you like the videos and the builds! What do you play on? Console PC? I have a great cluster that’s free to play on with a great community!

[@JHawke12]

Such an amazing build guide, thank you!!!

[@The2004STi]

Not meaning to criticize at all, easy to figure out but at 10:37, when you say to add a stone wall in the middle (immediately after the addition of the doors and windows) there is a third row of walls matching the height of the railings but there was no step to add that third row. Easily sorted and wonderful build, currently building it now, just thought I'd mention.

[@samanthazwickel]

I came here to say this. I figured it out when the ceiling going across didn't hit at the same height. Watched back to see if I missed something, but no, that step is missed in the video.

[@quietartist4281]

I just finished building this in my own survival world. Thank you for the video it helped a lot.🎉

[@melissasmith6849]

I'm building a medieval village on my pve server on lost island. I've used 2 of your builds so far. I can't wait for you to make your other how to video on your other medieval builds so I can put them in my village. I think your builds are great and I have used quite a few of them. Thank you.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you and you are more than welcome

[@KellyDeRijke]

Wow Aaron this looks amazing! as always🤗

Thank you so much

[@mikecoyne802]

Yes!! Now I just need the other medieval builds for me and my buddy in our LI server!!

[@last9up]

Don't know how you come up with these but they are always amazing.

[@thewarriorcotp4509]

Awesome build brother

[@ryanchristensen4449]

I would love if you did some cliff platform bases, there’s a cool pillar area on lost island at 20 35 perhaps you could build there? It’s got more open areas and some more tight areas but it would look amazing with cliff platforms and especially in your style

[@centryyl1318]

After you placed the rails on the front above the first wood walls, it jumps ahead and you had placed another row of stone walls on the main building before adding the 2 wood door frames.

[@jdthornton1761]

Nice build

[@SongbirdGaming]

Amazing build! Thanks so much! Btw, the discord link in the description has expired. Might want to set one up that doesn’t expire.

[@Tbag659]

Thanks for all the hard work you do on these designs.

[@alsitte]

Brilliant design

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you!

[@rajihachannel4140]

Damnnn looks soooo niceee, also very nice choice on the environment. I wanna live here and play ARK

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you it actually took me longer to find the right spot than it did to design it haha

[@ovitorbernardes]

Wow, nice!

Thanks!

[@cryohunter7321]

How in the world did you get that thatch ceiling to overlap at 13 minutes?? I'm trying to follow the build and can't get that snap point?

[@gunner37]

Keep ti up 🌹

[@xX_Zieva_Xx]

Hi Aaron (or anyone else that can help). At 31:37 when climbing the ladder at the end you stand on the top of the ladder. How do you do that? When I climb the ladder at the top, even if I just inch up little by little, it always jumps me OVER the ladder and not on top, so I'm having a hard time getting that fence support lined up correctly :(

[@eliteslayer66]

How do you find flat spots to build on? do you reuses the same spots pretty often?

[@gloriab3319]

Loving all of your medieval builds!!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you!

[@davidschaller5652]

Just a question. I'm stuck at 16:35. I don't know why but can't build the roof. I'm pretty sure I did all fine before that

[@localshowershitter1264]

Amazing builds! I have built so many! Is there any chance you could do like an armory for every set of armor in the game? That would be so cool!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you and I really like this suggestion!

[@localshowershitter1264]

@@AaronLongstaff thanks for reading my suggestion! Keep up the great work man!

[@soonerborn2378]

How do I make my walls not break the railings? I’m on Xbox don’t know if that changes anything

[@aR0y2810]

Ayy this one gets a tutorial! Will all the medieval builds get tutorials?

[@AaronLongstaff]

Yes that is the idea!

[@nhotchiimarvs]

for some reason i cant snap the wooden fence supports, any idea why?

[@Cyril03999]

you are amazing at construction! i have a question, how do you build foundation into another foundation or earth wall? when i build and something gets in the way it wont let me place a picture wall or foundation.

[@AaronLongstaff]

It is difficult without no clip enabled I have to spend a while finding flat areas to build if you want to play on a server that has no clip enabled you should join my Discord and play on my servers they are free

[@eliteslayer66]

at 20:55 you place pillars through walls, can you do that normally? I feel like you cant do that on official servers. I cant check since im out of town.

[@johnnypatterson77]

My pillars don't seem to be the same as the ones on your video have they changed them since you made this video?

[@johnmccall4528]

I noticed that you added Crenellations to the top in some sections. I wonder if it would even be possible to put machicolations on top of the walls? Machicolations are like crenellations but they stick out from the top of the walls allowing defenders to shoot attackers at the base of the wall.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Oh I like that just had to google what they were lol I will try this in another video

[@thundergod2107]

What color did you paint the roof

[@hunteryt7819]

Would it be possible for you to make a jungle home tutorial for the jungle in lost island? I feel like everyone would love that. But if you could make it unmodded so We console players could build it that would be great

[@AaronLongstaff]

I like that idea I will add this to my list!

[@schehl82]

at 13:40 you snap to the back ramp.. how do you know you have it there without taking out the other ramp on xbox?

[@nickthorn8843]

I can't get the stone doorframe at 22:52 to rotate to the wall correctly. Any suggestions on what I need to check for?

[@AaronLongstaff]

It sounds like the fence foundation may not be snapped correctly it shard to tell without seeing it I would practice it somewhere else just build a small wall somewhere and see if you can get it to work or send me a video or pic in my Discord

[@supacivify]

Ok, at 10:35 is it just me, or did you miss a step of adding a row of stone walls to the back room, before putting the wooden double doorframe layer? I'm building this rn and it's not lining up with the rest of the build...

[@surfninja3402]

Thinking of signing up as member of your channel. Not sure quite how it works as a person to your channel

[@kalleighward953]

Can you explain how you're getting the fence supports to snap to things? It's not doing it for me. Please and thank you!!😁

[@AaronLongstaff]

As long as there is a fence foundation the fence supports will snap to them
