Now that I'm really getting into ARK again and wanting to build some stuff that actually looks good, and with me being a terrible builder myself, your videos are an absolute blessing. Huge respect to you for coming up with these amazing builds, they all look absolutely stunning!

Can you build this for me ? Ill pay 😅

[@SkullAndPwns]

The step by step instructions, how many of each piece to use, and what button to press on every platform makes this one of the build videos I’ve ever watched. Two thumbs up👍🏼👍🏼

[@MsN3wN3wbi3]

For step 24:23 if you all are having trouble placing the catwalks sideways like that, I placed metal walls under the ceilings in the front then I was able to place the catwalks sideways and was able to pickup the walls without them breaking. Hope it helps! I am also playing on XBX

[@halgrindlodbrok]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Thank you, helped me out at 46:00 for the catwalks along the backside

Just got done building this one and I love it. I've built so many of your builds and you are my absolute favorite ark builder! I recommend you to everyone I know that plays Ark!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Ah thank you so much I’m so happy you like the tutorials!!

[@gpubinbred8897]

Did your build on mobile. Lake near redwoods had enough space for 3 revival plats aligned and a 20x16 so i just shortened the main house by 2 but also added a gate with stairs in the back. Your build is dope - your mind is intriguing. Thank you for this. Next: treehouse ❤

[@FirePumpkin]

I love this build Aaron, great job!!!

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you as always for your help!

[@karleengoodwill2667]

Amazing build! Now I just need a good shot of the building materials list :D I'm excited to build this one.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you so much glad you like it and good luck!!

[@spicychai69]

I'm definitely going to do this! But possibly replace the metal with either Villager or Settler since the server is medieval themed. But I think it will be awesome to build!

[@zayda5gaming]

This is by far the best thing I've seen in a long time

[@johannaroland5565]

Love this build, I have recreated on my server. I've made all the parts in S+, but best is building this with vanilla items, as S+ snaps different in certain parts.

[@MRN555]

Thak you. The part with the bumped out floor on the left side had us all frustrated trying to get the ss celiling to snap.

[@LawfulNerdy]

Your comment just saved me tons of frustration, i got to the corner where you place the wood ceiling, thatch wall, then stone wall underneath and was using S+ materilas, switched to vanilla and it worked just like shown. Thank you!

[@AidenCorvas]

Wow. So detailed and great instructions. Kudos to you on a a,axing video. Cheers

[@Enkis_rage]

Exquisite build! I would love to see your take on an aviary, I have tried so many times to build one and I never like the end results always just looks like a cube of pillars 😆.

It won’t let me add the stone walls onto “the front” in 4:15, it keeps saying it’s obstructed what should I do

[@King_HarIequin]

Been building your stuff for years now. Really love them. Do you have a Build for a PvE Base with Tek Stuff (Generator, Boxes and Replicator) with easy access to Forge ect.? Or could you do one please? Going to Build your 22.02.19 Workshop now and place Replicator at that small Pen Area and some tek boxes where are Vaults =)

[@yesimy587]

thank u

[@haydonhawkins4729]

How do you get the small storage boxes to stack so neatly???? Please a little tutorial on things like that maybe? Tip vid?

[@carlosrodriguezsanchez7645]

Me encanta tu arquitectura en Ark. He podido hacer unas cuantas en oficial. Gracias a ti.🙂👌🇵🇦

[@MrNeVaDiTTo]

Pues esta lamentablemente en oficial no te va a dejar así de fácil. El centro no te deja cerrarlo más ancho de 3 techos por cada lado, y ahí se ve que hace una tira justo en l medio. O está en server modificado, o ha puesto cimientos debajo de la plataforma, cosa que lleva mucho tiempo y recursos, ya que deben ser de metal si no quieres conectarte un dìa y descubrir que un megalodón o cualquier otro bicho te ha hundido todo. Pero ojo, bonito le ha quedado mucho.

[@MrNeVaDiTTo]

The base is very nice and very well thought out... but in official servers, it doesn't allow you to build the central line of roofs that you see in the video. As soon as you try it will show you the message "needs a foundation nearby". The only way to do it in official would be to lay foundations on the seabed, which is not difficult, but it significantly increases the cost of materials, since to be calm and not connect one day to discover that a megalodon has sunk what you so much work has cost you, they should be metal.

[@buttersmtgandmore8130]

Isn't the platform metal tho?

[@MrNeVaDiTTo]

@@buttersmtgandmore8130 yes, it is, but there are alpha megalodons that break your metal, and not only that. My first oceanic platform in the oficial server where i play, for breaking a metal roof over the platform, everything fell down, the platform and all the structures that were on it. This is Ark and there are bugs and weird things everywhere my friend 😂

[@janiczastrow9768]

I have Problems at 4:35 i cant Rotate the Thatch wall any help?

[@MrJeepy01]

Hi, thank you, it's a very good tutorial, and very well detailed! I would like to know if the whole METAL side. Can I replace it with other things like wood? not being a fan of the metal aspect. Thanks in advance.

[@youngchainzzz2212]

4:45 i can't get the snap right it doesn't work for me

[@karlnichols1850]

Do you got vids on how you decorated it really like your layout and I want it exactly like yours

[@AaronLongstaff]

The decoration video was done by fire pumpkin there is a link to it in the description

[@Peaky456]

Super bro

[@xxratchet23xx11]

I can not get the walls to line up evenly after putting the thatch sloped walls down. so frustrating.

[@TheHeartlessHero]

I wish the floating baze foundation could reach the seabed. I'd love to have the walls go all the way down. Having it just float there drives me nuts.

[@LordWaterFarts]

Tysm tho I jus alternated the builds with mostly tek stuff

[@kylesilk]

My stone wall won’t snap to bottom of the fence foundation for some reason but it shows up green

[@Saviorborn]

would love some more smaller homes more early game solo/small stuff

[@bl41rw1tch]

after I started building, I realized that there were problems using s+ structures. I'm stuck at 12'08 of the video, "structure too far from the platform". It seems that replacing the S+ stone ceilings with vanilla ones works... so I can start all over again :(

[@missnuriko8118]

What creature is in the left part of the pen? I've been searching for it and can't find it.

[@michels7203]

Another great video! Any chance you could drop a link to the music somewhere? I'd love to hear more.

[@AaronLongstaff]

Thank you the music is linked in the description it’s Harris heller stream beats

[@anatrofin6036]

Hi! I'm on switch and I reached the middle of the video, but I'm stuck...because I have a 1632 structure limit... Can anyone help me with this problem please?

[@khadayuki8820]

I was trying to build it today but, ive seen that the S+ version of the ocean plattform is smaller than the one in the video. And since the server i'm playing on has only S+ structures i'm questioning what i can do. I can snap multiple plattforms together but i don't really know how big the one in the video is, would be great if you could help me out. I realised mine is smaller because i could place only 6 stone ceillings in the middle instead of 14 like in the video.

[@nighty83]

I have the same problem.. to solve it.. use the "normal" Version of the ocean platform. thats the correct Size :)

[@chrisphelan502]

Theres just one side of the inner ocean platform that says obstructed(the walls around the 4minute mark)??? Ive played ark for years and cant figure it out, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@AaronLongstaff]

If you watch the video I show the technique of moving the stone walls out using thatch ceilings and walls that should fix it

[@lixiaolongli2191]

Recently, the computer is too stuck. Do you recommend it? I don't know much about it. My cousin helped me before!

[@calebpatterson4844]

idk why but at 13:00 i could not get the walls to place right they were all uneven and i sat there for 5 hours trying to fix this wall

Hello, very nice ocean base! Good job ! I try to reproduce, but I encounter a problem with the platform, on your video at 2'04 you indicate 7 ceilings for the interior of the platform and 20 ceilings for the exterior but at home I have 6 ceilings respectively inside and 10 outside, any idea why?

[@bl41rw1tch]

Ok, i used s+ ocean platform but it's 10 x 10 and vanilla 20 x 20 ^^
