META skeleton cage - minimal line off sight turret tower

[@evilredbeerd13]

I built this tower. I beefed it up quite a bit but I love this layout. My least favorite things are the snap points of those fing railings

[@smarft]

fuck yea thats so .... pissing me off too XD

[@SBChaevok]

As a solo player, newer to these huge tribe types of buildings, these instructions are unclear. Looks cool though!

[@smarft]

I recommend my new video, its better and easier

honestly so far the best youtube tower video on here. covers lot of things i do still but there are some better improvements, i need to make a video on my design.

[@smarft]

Yea this is pretty much the basics Shown only in the Thumbnail I also added railings all over the bottom of the tower for example ^^

[@jeffdoesstuff9134]

This has been build style for asa and all my tribe keeps asking is "how do you fill the ammo while you are under attack. Without a teksuit" we have been scratching our heads at the idea of a turret tower that is possible to fill on foot and has good line of site.

[@smarft]

Well I see the problem. But there’s gonna be no solution for that There has also never been one on ase. To make all turrets accessible from food you’d need stairs or walk ways but that’s gonna end up in massive LOS The method I know and use to refill is grappling hooks and a good speed. Defending your base should anyways be: your dinos and players in front of the towers & the turrets just give you backup If defended properly at the frontline your people should have time to refill in between pushes from the enemies

[@smarft]

Or use a tek force field to temporarily have cove from being shoot

[@jeffdoesstuff9134]

The difference is that in ase we had giant hatchframes which made it possible to walk from one turret to the next for all the turrets at that level, you might still need to grapple to It or tek suit. But with ASA building style, you would need to grapple to each turret individually

I have 2 questions, why are the outer railings placed upside down? and the other question will the thin pillars work the same at reducing LOS?

[@smarft]

I’ve not tested the slim pillars yes This is actually the old tower I recommend my new video with improved techniques Also the railings upside down do block all tames bigger then a terror bird but human chars can walk through them

Thanks for the vid I subscribed keep it up

[@smarft]

I do recommend my new update vide wich just dropped a few days ago

[@gamerzch9250]

Bro I cannot get those top rails to interlock in the grid pattern 😭 help!?!?

[@smarft]

If you’re talking about the snappoints. Consider using a tapejara

[@smarft]

It’s a struggle I know

[@smarft]

It’s needed to stay straight and not move around to find the snaps. If you’re moving just slightly it’s almost impossible

[@gamerzch9250]

@@smarftyes I have tek chest and it’s still so annoying

[@smarft]

@@gamerzch9250 yea bc the tek chest is not static in the air, you’re always moving a little bit and that makes the game change the snappoints

[@Coldfront-sg3tt]

Its always Europeans that sweat this game

[@smarft]

lmao haha ^^

[@smarft]

bet you´dlike my void tower, go and check out the Video, it has almost 0 LOS hehe

[@RonaldMcDonald6969]

you dont happen to have a build list for this do you?

[@smarft]

the amount of structures ? depends on the size you want to build 10x10 foundation and 12 high 100 foundations ~550 walls ~60 pillars ~200 quater walls (including a railing spam at the bottom of the tower, which is not shown in the video) then you probably want to add a sky tower and spam , the amount of that depends on you tho

[@inkslingerdrew]

in a pearl cave, lookn for underwater builds this was a sick find

[@smarft]

Well underwater build’s, go check out my recent video ^^

[@xbrokenxboardsx1357]

Smarf video hypeeee

[@Rvbcaboose714]

No ground turrets? What kinda meta again? Lol

[@smarft]

🤦this is the basic layout , obviously add ground turrets, turrets on the cage , a sky tower spam etc. I‘ve also made an updated version which has that explained in the comments already ;)
