Aaron Longstaff epic build man. Good stuff. Keep up the good work

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you Joshua!

[@cylongfoutty]

Cool build! Would you consider doing more boat builds? Maybe even a prison boat?

[@cooperbrosius7156]

Aaron Longstaff CAN YOU PLEASE DO A BIG Dino pen. I play On pve and I need a pen for my larger Dino’s such as my wyverns

[@LokiGodOfTime]

This is so cool! I’m gonna have to try this build in my single player! I love all of your builds and come to you for inspiration in my own builds. Actually built your 3-story house on a private server I’m on. Don’t stop!!

[@Veridigone]

To build this you need: Mats Mat Best Dino 12330 Stone Doedicurus 21169 Wood Castorides (Beaver) Therinzino is only slightly worse if you don't want to tame 4 things 8601 Thatch Megaloceros (Deer) 2786 Fiber Therinzino Your Welcome

is this accurate?

Veridigo use wyvern for thatch

[@DirtySouthGaming]

I host a PvP rag server on PS4 and these builds are popping up everywhere! Even though it's PvP we have structure resistance turned wayyyyy up. So basically you can build in whatever material (I know you like wood and stone mostly) and it's badass looking but functional. We still fight and kidnap each other but it's really a building server and so far I've spotted your treehouse and some of your pen builds. Personally I've done the large house and aviary in this world. I'd love to do a video tour showing what you can really get out of these structures when they're fully loaded and functional (generator placement, hidden storages, defenses, water/electric grids, etc) if thats cool with you.

[@AaronLongstaff]

yes of corse send me the link when its done!!!

[@ndz1541]

Yo what be ur server

[@blbuntin]

I’m pretty new to the game and only play on solo to pass the time. I’m battling lupus and focusing is difficult for me. Your tutorials have made everything so much easier. Out of all of the research I’ve done, your content is by far the best. Your tutorials are very well composed, visually dynamic, the text is clean and easy to read without other distractions. Either you’re a natural and self-taught or you have a formal education in composition. I do and not being able to make my own stuff is frustrating. You help make it fun. Keep rockin.

[@shakoorlateef8987]

Hope you get better!

[@KhloePotter-tq8jm]

Hey I have it to I do not know to do but I wish I can help you play the game and I wish I can help you get better

[@KhloePotter-tq8jm]

⁠hi

[@drakemyers4444]

I love this build so much. I used it on Genesis on an ocean platform and kind of did my own thing. Instead of 4 pens, I made a greenhouse, workshop, a single pen for resource collectors, and a breeding area. All while still having room on the platform to build a medium sized house which I also built from your videos😂.

[@Gwynesse3110]

I have officially completed Longstaffville lol I have built so many of your structures I think I can call it that by now. Thanks again for the hard work and the love you put in your work!

[@ETGAAD]

I did not expect this channel to be this good! Well done you did amazing!

[@user-nv8ih2tk3q]

What is this malarkey; likes to views 1 : 100?! Come on, folks! This man slaves away building all the different pens, egg farms etc. that you request; least you could do is tap the like button. Help get the word out. Show the man the love he deserves!

[@taxcollector165]

can i copy and paste this?

[@brownbabymedia5662]

👏

[@shakoorlateef8987]

Underrated comment! This guy is amazing and needed in the ark community

[@randomlamb6358]

I just built this on my base and OH MY GOD its absolutely gorgeous!! Not to mention ingenious! Thank you for making the video. 😍

[@ya.ghostie]

I just want to build everything you've built on my ARK. They're all so good!

[@awesward4454]

Sweet! You get the most positive feedback of any youtuber I have ever seen! Keep up the good work.

[@noahshort7671]

thank you! just built this up in my gen 2 play through!

[@pfannkuchenguru8178]

Your tutorials are so easy to understand and explained in such detail. It's really easy to replicate. I have never seen such a good guide! Really well explained thanks.

[@Genrevideos]

Oh ho ho ho! I got another idea you can try! Duplex Townhouse build. A Garage on the bottom floor (one for each townhouse condo), the living area on the second floor, a third floor and an attic! It's large but space efficient! perfect for PVE villages!

[@ShadedReaper]

Just got new headphones while watching, and the music was VIOLENTLY relaxing. (headphones were playing the chill music, Real loudly)

[@CaptainCretaceous91]

I love this pen. I use it as a home for my medium and small creatures and my shoulder mounts. I even added some lights and a feeding trough in it. I just keep my large creatures outside it.

[@shanemonica9703]

Nice work! Others should take notice of the professionalism of the editing and ease of understanding associated with your series. Kudos to you!

[@Uikira]

great Job, Aaron. As always this is one of my new favorite builds.

[@codylaforte9986]

Dude these builds are cool, my thoughts on a build would be a trophy/artifact storage or a bee hive house

[@joshua.w2445]

This is really cool,having a multi purpose Dino pen is easier than having loads of different pens for all my dinos

[@kalebworthington1002]

OMG THANK YOU he listed the amount of mats you need and everything ima just go ahead and sub

[@halo3ratofficial704]

I just tamed 2 tek parasaurs, this will be perfect for my tames! Keep making vids, man, theyre great!

[@VeryHammer]

I just started playing on SE and swapped adobe in place of stone and it still looks awesome. Great build dude.

[@janieerichardson]

Yay! Just the pen i was trying to create for my working dinos to keep near my workshop, this is perfect!

[@rainfall7588]

ty for always sharing these amazing builds, i know years later, this is gonna be a snimacrops and hawk pen xD

[@portillogp1010]

Absolutely LOVE this

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you it’s a very old build glad you still like it

[@chibidarknation9217]

editing the sides slightly, you can make this a modular pen, adding as many as you want to the sides and back and having them connect, i'm building a massive pen area using this technique and its coming out wonderfully

[@Morganlocomoco]

This is by far the best build video I have ever seen

[@sebaskaijen6099]

This is exactly what I neaded in my base ! You're so amazing Aaron keep it up!

[@zp1167]

Must study but I can't stop watching 🙈

[@AaronLongstaff]

Haha get back to studying you can watch this later!

[@zp1167]

Aaron Longstaff hehehe, I always say "just a few more minutes" but it turns into two hours 😂🙈

[@saphirafluck4982]

I love your videos because it have not so much Ark how to build videos!😃🔨

[@bobbyjones-uv5cn]

been waiting forever for this thanks & good job!

[@deviottalentz8965]

Tip - for a cleaner look use wooden stairs instead of ramps.place them on the lower snap point then switch them to ramps.creates a gentler sloping ramp that doesn't stick up through the foundations.

[@jackievarughese3945]

Your builds are just jaw dropping dude

[@lomax0018]

Love this build!! Just made it myself but changed a few things round and made it slightly bigger!! Thanks for the inspiration 😁👍

[@user-nv8ih2tk3q]

Another smash hit of a build, Aaron. Lots of options with this build; very adaptable to suit a host of players' needs. Was it my imagination or did the ceilings in the intro seem translucent? Anyway... Nice job; keep'em coming!! 👍👍

[@AaronLongstaff]

thanks buddy no your eyes were not deceiving you the lumber roofs look translucent from the inside

[@user-nv8ih2tk3q]

Huh ... what a weird affectation. I wonder if it was intentional or just a coding artefact 🤔

[@HeatherChandler17]

Are

[@HeatherChandler17]

Aaron Longstaff are lumber roofs a mod

[@HeatherChandler17]

Aaron Longstaff what other roof is best to use

[@simplyocto8407]

This guy really likes his pillars

I like your ideas & have put them to use myself & like the video clear on what to do & always with a good track to listen to keep it up dude

With all that you can make a titanosaur pen... love the build!

[@shaymorgan7359]

great build. Very easy to understand your instructions :)

[@N3Rd32]

This is why I only play pve with friends. I can build cities and have all my dinos and never have to worry about being raided. You really couldn't do stuff like this with any justification in PVP modes.

[@user-mo4pu4dq8l]

Same, chill gaming 💯

[@Eli-wc6et]

Im gunna turn the area's where the phioma's are into crafting area's and turn one of the rooms into a bedroom lol. Rest will be dino storage, This build is awesome! How's the egg farm goin?

[@Eli-wc6et]

I plan on making a town in that area near green ob

[@AaronLongstaff]

Great idea glad to see you already have ideas for mixing it up!!

[@ValosarX]

Small side pens don't allow most small dinos to walk into them, otherwise amazing functionality and obviously extremely beautiful!

[@whiteknight012]

Amazing. Keep up the great videos, Brother!

[@nancy5673]

Omg this is amazing I love your buildings they inspire me on building more

[@jamieg6432]

OMG THX FOR THE BEAVER AND DOED PART THEY ARE MY FAV DINOS! Edit: I know beavers aren’t Dino’s, I meant creatures

This is awesome creatures barn fantastic dude you made more creatures pen

Awesome work as usual!

[@KantMan]

Great build! I like it a lot For one of your next build could you do a Rex pen? The T.rex needs his royal enclosure!! :P

[@courtneyjoyner4076]

Love this build design how would you suggest tackling this if the ground isn’t completely flat? So frustrating with the way foundations work !

[@Mario-nt6kd]

thank you!

[@a.lj_72]

Where was this when I needed it lol

[@alatoot1690]

Wow. Just wow

[@alchemistgaming6691]

Thank you thank you thank you ! Now all my Dino’s have there own houses

[@serasgaming80]

The Music ist very cool.

[@mrmcbonkers9304]

HAA This is very close to a Ravager pen idea I was thinking about making. This is way bigger though!

[@sammccadams3620]

My friend hosts a server and we’re building your town hall and second breeding pen in this same area! May have to add this also!

[@jokerbvb0983]

Thx for sharing it. Rebuilding it was nice and successful^^

[@kride500]

Thanks for noting that you need P+. Didn't noticed it until I crafted everything from the list but the sloped lumbar roofs.

[@witchwriter9]

Great job! I love all your builds, was wondering if you do a build to house either reptiles or insects?

[@paulojnf3771]

This is amazing. But is there a way to store 20-ish Rexes and Gigas?? Asking for a friend :D

[@johnkatrinaharris885]

No

[@Alex-mb1ue]

Will you make a water tower?With reservoirs inside of it?

[@vampirejunky9137]

Besides ps4 being a butt and not finding the inner snap points for the outdoor pens great and easy build!

[@aaronyandell2929]

Thanks for the tip, Aaron.

[@gillesmacbain8454]

I did this in game and It was just brutal my game crashed multiple times my pc is like really bad and i lost my progress because it crashed and now it is 5 am in the night 😭 got it done now at least it looks nice and is usefull

[@aldocampero3881]

Como siempre un placer ver tus construcciones, si te compras el conan exiles me encantaría poder ver lo que podes lograr!!

[@puriin4756]

Yes! this was so easy

[@AaronLongstaff]

~Perfect glad you liked the tutorial!

[@daniellowe3317]

At some point would you possibly be able to make more PvP focused builds? I think you would be able to create some really interesting bases and other things.

[@sabo_yt2380]

This is amazing

[@emilygraham5356]

This helped a lot

[@jpbutler3973]

Was on the island but didn’t need as much space as this so just made one pen and used stone ceilings cuz on island you can’t get adobe but thanks!

[@xanderchurchwell9147]

Love it thanks a lot longstaff

The build is nice and cool and all but when he made this build he was thinking how many pillars can he place in one build

[@hueman6648]

Looks amazing

[@IGSabre]

Love it 😁

[@themadhousemachine8034]

could this building be tweaked to fit bigger Dinos like rex, spino and bronto possibly??

[@Spilatoo]

Amazing!🤯🔥😜
