How To Build an S+ Base Without S+ | ARK

[@freynlives]

The amount of effort and building tricks put into this is absurd. I really like the look of that 'half wall' too, the additional texture/colour break-up really improves it. Fantastic job!

[@captainfatdog]

Thank you Freyn!

[@hellotheregeneralkonobi4010]

Finally I can try to make a base on Console without having to listen to 50 million hard steps

[@VladsMadness]

There are very few that will take the time to mess around with these tricks like myself . But honestly knowing its possible without mods does separate the average builder from the more advanced . Awesome work Captain 😜

[@captainfatdog]

Cheers Vlad!

[@CapnMcRummy]

Absolutely amazing! A true masterclass in building. I sat there watching with my jaw on the ground the whole time. Cheers you mad genius 🍻

[@captainfatdog]

Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@LKD70]

Honestly seeing all these techniques used together is amazing man, love this.

[@LKD70]

The trick with the upside down/regular railings for the half-height walls is awesome

[@captainfatdog]

Took me so long to think of that 😆

[@Raasclark]

Dude this is an A class vid! Loved every second

[@Wolf_Star_84]

A++

[@captainfatdog]

Thank you mate! With all this info you are taking in, Aarons not gonna know what's hit him when you have your build off rematch!

[@pmh3147]

Oh CFD, GOAT builder! When even you say "it can be a lot of work to turn structures upside down..." you know it IS a *lot* of work; ditto if something is "more hassle than it's worth"! Dread's reaction "Duuuude! Who doooes that?!" makes it all worthwhile tho!

[@captainfatdog]

Haha. That reaction is probably my favourite part of the video 😆

[@kevlartqc5991]

i was thinking i was a good builder in ark but your video made me realise im far from your level of knowledge.your mastering the physic of the game at perfection.

[@teacher-deb]

The Captain works his magic. So much fun to watch. After SO much work for the upside-down parts and the round tower foundations, your lazy solution to the half wooden walls and the sneaky stairs in the roof had me in stitches, Cap! 😹 Also, kudos to @Dread Survives for the challenging original build!

[@captainfatdog]

Haha, the signs were lazy for sure, but I honestly tried on that roof, there was no other option 😄 Thank you!

[@excat]

It's amazing that you have put the time and effort into figuring out all these tricks to put into a build like this. It's sad that you have to do that though instead of them just fixing their jank building system for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for the awesome content Cap! Here's to Ark 1.5 and hopefully dejanked building!

[@captainfatdog]

Thanks. I love the building system with all it's jankiness, but for the average person it's probably not good.

[@excat]

@@captainfatdog I love it to, in part thanks to you and figuring out a lot of tricks and sharing them, but, I have to admit, it would be nice to just build what you want without having to run pillars down to a raft and back up? I tend to find playing the game more enjoyable than spending time working around stuff. Also, so much stuff isn't possible for one reason or another on official servers, if even just for build space. Take care Cap, and looking forward to the next one!

[@Wolf_Star_84]

You are literally the building master Cap, absolutely blown away that you even know how to do the things you do

[@tobimarulee]

It's amazing how much experience, knowledge and skill you need to have to be able to pull that off... it's ridiculous. Really reaaaaally well done!! :)

[@toriannesinger]

This was an absolute joy to watch. If I can say so, your windows were prettier plus the double railing balcony was chef's kiss. So beautiful. Just watching you try and explain as you go is mind boggling, you're like an arkitect genius

[@captainfatdog]

Thank you so much!!

[@doritochip19]

This was amazing. I would love to see you and dread do this again but with a tougher build

[@teacher-deb]

Treehouse, please! Maybe let Dread use Atlas structures mod, or Castles, Keeps, and Forts.

[@CeriusDeluge]

OK. First time visiting your channel even though I've been meaning to check It out for awhile, I subscribed. At first I just thought you were really good at ARK. But after seeing this and some of the things you have come up with on other people's videos (like the parachute slide from Raas Clark for example) I have come to one conclusion... Your mind is on a completely different level compared to everyone else on this planet. Keep up the good work and I look forward to you solving the crisis in the Middle East. Edit: grammar.

[@captainfatdog]

Haha, I got a good chuckle from this comment, thank you 😁

[@floopernutter8169]

I love this video! Really cool challenge idea, and I really enjoyed getting the walkthrough of your techniques. Masterful.

[@captainfatdog]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gustavheinrich5565]

Imagine WildCard putting as much effort into creating their building system as Fatdog does in working around its problems.

[@miguelalameda28]

CAPTAIN FATDOG never misses to keep us impressed.

[@toronoc6866]

My jaw is always on the floor when I see your builds. Incredible as always sir!

[@Drakii0069]

dude ive always admired your builds but this... this was just insane, my hats off to you sir absolutely amazing.

[@LowlyEidolon]

Dang that's a lovely house design aswell And gosh I learnt stuff today I didn't know before, you know a lot, thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@ana-alyciajuarez5958]

Captain!!! You are so amazing!!! I love your imagination and creativity. One of the best problem solvers in Ark easily

[@gregorbob5739]

This is something else, so impressed

[@_PR0FE5S0RX]

Cap you truly are a master builder 10/10

[@fatlizard_]

it is absolutely insane the hoops you have to jump through for an upside down sloped wall. massive props to you for figuring out how to do this but my GOD i would not have the patience lol. just give me console s+ any day

[@captainfatdog]

Yeah, I would never suggest that anyone does this unless its for a very good reason, haha. Thanks :)

[@darrellopez8818]

Captain fatdog you are the greatest builder I've seen the tricks you can do with these structures you are amazing bro,how long have you been playing around with those structures

[@captainfatdog]

Thanks. Not sure if you are asking how long the build took or how long I've been building in general so here's both: The build took me about 8 hours. I've been experimenting with building from about the middle of 2016.

[@jacoWhoCares]

This is just brilliantly done!!! Next challenge. Do all this whilst playing normally and not in creative mode🤣

[@Startinbloc]

That's why you're my favorite builder! No one equals your level! Incredible!!!

[@SongbirdGaming]

First! Can’t wait to see this!

[@ArkAddikt]

i couldnt build half of this in S+, SS or any other mod haha XD. Another great build!

[@lordragon_807]

Bro the fact that you made it look even better in the vanilla version its impressive, you really are a cap!

[@ryanhosch5754]

Absolute magician sir! Wow! Great work!

[@BEYPlaysGames]

Amazing job Cap! Love it! You are THE building god! 🔥🔥

[@captainfatdog]

Thanks Bey! 😁

[@lerozero9791]

you are the most impressive. Kudos on your knowledge of building, Sir!

[@dilshanpriyanga]

I also love to build in vanilla, specially in official servers! But unfortunately, they gone disappeared in August, so, miss those amazing days..... ❤❤❤💔💔💔 I really like and appreciate your building techniques Fatdog, and in fact, I always used your some smart techniques to build bases.... You have an amazingly creative mind about how to use vanilla objects in right way.... Good job mate! Love it! 😊❤❤❤👌👏👏👏🙏👍

[@captainfatdog]

Thank you very much 😊

[@overthegardenwall7143]

wow if you and aaron longstaff had a contest with some builders more used to S+ or SS, where you did this exact same thing, (modded vs vanilla), that would make for an epic contest!

[@captainfatdog]

That would be fun. Doesnt seem like there are many builder youtubers using s+ though really

[@seanson6401]

This guy is a real genius.

[@shotgunbettygaming]

[@injoy987]

Cap, you are amazing. deff getting a sub and I will be sharing this with s few people that are going to love this. Keep it up boss.

[@tauron4051]

Cap ! you're a mad man ! :) thx for the lesson sir !

[@matthewcampbell7318]

Love Ur videos I learnt how to build floating bases because of u

[@grumpyref]

As I posted on Dreads video, it is not the S+ part that worried me, it was the 'no collision'. But if anyone could pull it off, it you be you FatDog!

[@captainfatdog]

I'd say they each offered an equal amount of challenges. It just didn't seem like enough of a challenge to do it with clipping 😆

[@SerenPlaysPS5]

Amazing Cap ❤

[@TranquilityEden]

Haha you did a fantastic job!! How about trying vanilla pc vs mobile next! 😈

[@captainfatdog]

Thanks. That's an interesting idea. You mean me build vanilla or mobile?

[@TranquilityEden]

@@captainfatdog you build on mobile or you build on pc but with mobile structures and restricted mechanics (height and structure count limits imposed) basically ark prior to homestead so back to fence foundation circles hahah!

[@captainfatdog]

[@rl9217]

Hi Cap, good job on another nice building vid! I wanted to ask something unrelated to the topic at hand, but are you planning on submitting a creature for the current Ragnarok creature vote? I and a lot of other people really liked the moa suggestion from the last vote and was wondering if you were thinking of giving it or something else another try, or if you’re gonna sit this one out. Either choice is totally understandable, I was just curious given that a new one has started.

[@captainfatdog]

Thanks. I'm not submitting anything this time I'm afraid, due to being busy working on a Rhynio trap.

[@rl9217]

@@captainfatdog Ah okay then, maybe next time. Looking forward to watching the video on the trap and I hope that maybe for a future vote we get to see either the moa or another one of your ideas make it in. Thanks for answering my question!

Quick question, the trick with flipping ceilings upside down using a raft, would it work using a Skiff?

[@cookie856]

Yes

[@xenomorphan]

yes you can! ive tilted pilliars the same way using a skiff on official

[@captainfatdog]

Yes, I just used a raft because I was trying to keep it primitive for a primitive build.

Captain fatdog, can you come to the server I play on and do a couple builds for me?

[@marcpaulus6291]

So how long did it take dread to build his House and how long did you need to remake it? For many parts it takes dozen or hundreds of steps more to archive the same thing as in s+. Its cool that one can make equal things in vanilla, for me the time, effort and knowledge you need is too much. I hope WC will give us s+ building with ASA when it comes out in a few years XD

[@captainfatdog]

Dread took 3 hours, I took 8. So defo took me a lot longer.
