How to Build Tek Dedicated Storage into Foundations and Ceilings in ARK: Survival Ascended!

My cheap Tek dedicated storage floor for ARK Survival Ascended just got better thanks to ‪@quaninho5890‬. In this building tutorial, I'll show you how to set two different foundation heights, so you can place Tek dedicated storage directly in foundations and below ceilings, so that they're completely flush, using low cost structures.

Good to see a KZbin shouting out people who help them.

[@toastbloke]

As always! It's only right to give credit when credit is due! ❤️

[@Manhu_human]

That first method was smooth AF really nice video

[@toastbloke]

Cheers! It’s a bit of a faff on, but the best I could find as of now with the new structures!

[@justinpassmore9723]

Glad to have you back releasing videos, hope your feeling better

[@toastbloke]

Cheers buddy! And I'm getting there, thankfully!

[@justinpassmore9723]

@@toastbloke Glad to hear it pal

[@jnpl95]

Awesome! Ty for making a video with quan's comment, it was hard for me to get it without the visuals you showed in this video, appreciate it!

[@toastbloke]

No problem! It’s class to hear you found it helpful! That comment fixed everything 🙌🏻

[@oS-FrAcTuReD76]

Yes..... Yes ! Just yes ! Watched many concepts on this, so far this combined the best of all I've seen yet, this is to me an immaculate tutorial. On Point !!

[@toastbloke]

Cheers my dude! That’s some crazy high prize. Appreciate it! I’m stoked we finally got there. Cheap, easy and bang tidy dedi floors!

[@JustinValenstein]

This is the video I've been searching for. Everything else uses elevator tracks and and not building near the ground. This is bloody brilliant.

[@toastbloke]

Thank you! Glad it’s what you were looking for! It’s not the simplest method, but I reckon the outcome is worth the extra effort!

[@evernight2135]

So i took your design and snapped pillars to the foundation to raise this up higher by using the staggered pillars (one from the fence snaps and one from the foundation). for PVE builds this is great since you can raise your dedi storage floor to be the roof of your build so when you anky farm etc you can just land on the roof drop the metal etc into your dedi's quickly and move on. this also makes doing this in tricky build pvp spots as well with enough pillar spam you can make the floor not worth breaking from that perspective. TY for the build method.

[@toastbloke]

No problem! Like I say, beef it up with as many pillars and walls as you like! Taking it higher is useful too! Go crazy! Farming is as hard as it's going to be on The Island, so little things like that to speed things up are great ideas. It's always good to hear how people are using these methods and implementing them into the game!

[@HW-ow9zp]

really beautiful and tidy! also the beauty of the internet to be able to collaborate and make an even better end product. solid channel take care

[@toastbloke]

Cheers! I'm glad you think so! And yes, it's great to be able to help each other out/learn, because it's pretty much guaranteed that despite the hours and hours of testing, I'll have overlooked something, somewhere at sometime! 😅

[@A2ronD]

Just stumbled onto your channel yesterday. Love the content. I used another one of your videos (The stacked fridges/preserving bins) and figured out it works to perfectly flush dedi storage at ceiling height. Produced almost the same result as you have in the ceiling version of this build but you can access the dedi storage from directly below. Keep up the content. Ill definitely be watching.

[@toastbloke]

Lovely stuff! Thanks for watching! I played about with a pillar edged dedicated floor for a bit, but the boxes still needed support if they weren't in the middle, so moved onto lowering a floor. Did you find a way to make that happen then, or do you have them around an edge? Would be so sick to have a floating floor back!

[@A2ronD]

You are correct. I did a 3x3 square of metal "beams" which allowed me to place a square of dedicated storage around the outside. No support for the middle. Nice for A compact crafting station though. If I do find a way, Ill let you know.@@toastbloke

[@toastbloke]

@@A2ronD Still a great use, yeah! Glad you got something you're happy with! I guess it's double up as access too. And likewise, would be amazing, but from testing it seems like they need solid support or just collapse. I guess it's to stop hidden sky storage and the likes, but it's a shame!

[@philsoldierX78]

Ooooooo I like this. I like this a lot. Definitely gotta take this concept and make a build with it. Maybe something simple like making a pattern into the base floor or something complicated. Love these videos for builders. Inspires me to experiment :) Hope you grow bigger. Saw BeyPlaysGames shouted you for your video on stacking structures with pillars and beams on his tips video. He showed the basics but you definitely went into more depth with that technique. Keep it up~

[@toastbloke]

Thank you! And I’m glad you do! 🙏🏻 I need to try this kind of stuff you’re talking about out. I come from PvP so relatively new to PvE. There’s no time for patterns and the likes there, so I’ve not even thought about that. Could be cool to have different heights and materials with different things in the floor! Might have to experiment! And Bey is a top fella! That’s super kind of him. Was great meeting him via Monarky!

[@StaK_1980]

Looks way cooler than it has any right to be. Nice guide!

[@toastbloke]

Cheers very much! Took me a few iterations to get it perfect, so chuffed you're liking the end result!

[@joshuamckenzie831]

You can use beams to top the quarter walls for aesthetic.

[@toastbloke]

That's a nice idea! I presumed clipping would stop that, but that's what I thought about the ceilings too! 😅 Does that cover up the gap?

[@CamwayGaming]

ToastBloke! Great video enjoying your build vids!

[@toastbloke]

Cheers my dude! Need to spend some more time faffing on with this stuff. It's good fun! There's just not enough time in the day!

[@PutRandomNameHere]

You can just lower a pillar and put a ceiling on top

[@toastbloke]

If that works for you, great stuff!

[@tope-oficial]

great video dude, can you investigate any room like this but for cryopod ? like ase cryopod floor, was so confortable and they are soon avaiable, great job again clear explained and smart desings

[@toastbloke]

Thank you! And I will! It’s on the job list! Just waiting until the official release incase anything from the beta changes! 💪🏻

[@mukicare1977]

great explanation!

[@toastbloke]

Appreciate it, cheers!

[@kasiabunny8708]

much better looking than previous option

[@kasiabunny8708]

hate building with pillars after some glitches from ASE so foundation option is great, and look more nice

[@toastbloke]

Appreciate it! Cheers! Glad your found it useful, even if it is a bit of a hassle. I guess we only have to do it the once though, so worth it for the end result. I care way too much about things looking nice though 😅

[@kasiabunny8708]

@@toastblokehave same, and it's perfect to base that i planned as advanced stage of gameplay

[@PickledT]

Great video and mad props for giving shout out to @quaninho5890 for the tip that led to the update.

[@toastbloke]

Had a few people complain it wasn’t flush, but only one explained how to do it. Props to them! 🔥

[@Red_Tithe]

Love the video, only issue is can this method be applied to an already existing structure?

[@toastbloke]

Thank you! It can, but can be difficult depending on the height of your initial foundations, as you may have to work upwards! 😬

[@timdelaney95]

Trying this at a flat area at 44.3 long 78.4 lat and I cannot get the foundations to snap to the fence foundations at all. Did an update change this?

[@toastbloke]

Not that I’m aware, but I’ll look into it. Have you put a wall or pillar on the fence foundation like in the video before trying to snap your foundation? The foundation technically snaps to the structure on the fence foundation, not the fence foundation itself. Let me know if that helps. Cheers! 💪🏻

[@timdelaney95]

@@toastbloke yeah, I was following it step by step. I ended up having to fiddle around and get the lower foundation down before the higher one, but I got there in the end!

[@ThinkTwice90]

Thx for that video rly great tutorial. I only have one question, it could be patched or i do something wrong. I use the first method but everytime i remove the pillar all the ceilings are picked up too. What am i doing wrong ?

[@toastbloke]

Thank you! I'm happy to try and help, I'm just a little confused, as the first method doesn't use ceilings? Do you mean the second, or are you placing ceilings instead of foundations? Cheers!

[@ThinkTwice90]

@@toastblokeOh man sry, i thought it were ceilings that are under the dedicated storage boxes. Thx again for that well made tutorial, now that i listened really, you even say foundations ^^ sry again and now it works perfectly

[@pickabeatcypher]

anyway you know how to get the dedis to show number's ? Console

[@toastbloke]

Usually they just show up when you put something into them, so I figured it would just be the same. Are you not seeing any when they have things in? Maybe it's a bug? Only other thing is, you can show/hide the visual from the top and bottom of the box in settings. That's not default setting, but maybe that's set to hide.

[@pickabeatcypher]

@@toastbloke I'm pretty sure it's a PlayStation bug

start time stamping please

[@toastbloke]

I'll take a look into it and see what I think. Not a feature I've got around to checking out yet, but always down to look into ways of improving. How would timestamps help you? Like, is there a particular way you'd like to see them implemented?
