Sideways Building That is Consistently Straight - Ark Survival Ascended Building Tips

[@Oberon621]

is this patched already? I go pixel by pixel and the spike never turns the full 90 degrees

[@sush3893]

love how unbelievably jank this game is, thank you so much for this follow-up vid, was tearing my hair out tryna figure this out

[@froggygoblin6514]

Anyone else having issues on abb getting the vertical one (im facing north) it lets me place but not vertical its still in normal orientation

[@LaSangreDeDragon]

Despite the ladder, it is slightly offset to the right in my case - it has to be parallel to the existing foundations

[@Kriztian10290]

Hi did you manage to work out how to fix this? I'm having the same issue

[@DadHD]

Nice update! I’ve been playing with it in aberration. Wonky steampunk towers look cool. You mentioned ASR, they have curved ceilings now which I think gives you a bunch of angles to play with while Stijl staying on the horizontal plane! Having loads of fun with the ASR stuff.

[@patriklang2519]

Do you play in singleplayer or on a server? When on a server, is it official, or unofficial and if unofficial can you tell me the provider? Because I can get this to be working on Aberration only in singleplayer

[@JohnSmith-qm5xu]

Excellent find!!! Decode the jank sir!!

[@alyssonj]

North or south, really thank you man, I love you

[@VANGUARD6G]

I am able to get on the ladder for the second placement spike wall and it wants to put it either on the triangle ceiling right in my face or on top of the vertical ramp but no place able spots on the face of the vertical ramp any pointers?

[@karohe]

I no longer play ark, but when building using ladders I used to go to k-mode, jump off the ladder and move around using the keyboard only to move around or look up and down (using arrow keys). It would be nice if someone can check that method

[@Andrew49864]

I got a challenge for ya since I can't seem to find any good videos for this topic. Make a viable Scorched Earth pvp base that doesnt cook you alive inside? I bet you can make some creative combination of adobe interior and metal skeleton outside.

[@xenomorphan]

i need to have the snap point connect to an existing building but its miss aligned by a few degrees. Is the only way to fix it is eyeball it? ive been attempting to add the 3x3 door to my base for the past 2 hours 😭

[@Kriztian10290]

Trying to build from a stucture, but it will not center! Its slightly off to the left

[@bradenmckinzien577]

Ok, i am asking this because i k8nda have too much time when building a base, im thinking of making a base over in the hidden valley, where the pond is at, and there is a ledge there, and i think it isnt point north or south, but should i worry about that if im just being very patient with this trick? Also i do also hate how the dino gates are as well so yea i dont wanna use them lol

[@Chrome9009]

Is there any way to put the vertical hatchframe on an existing structure?

[@geekygage9038]

I tried this in every cardinal direction and still couldnt get the 90° to work... Wildcard, just add in s+ dynamic gates!

[@xSuperDooMx]

Not a new trick, was shown first by Vlad's Madness. Also this trick is nearly impossible to align properly into a pre-existing base. It always comes out slightly crooked.

[@briancastillo8643]

Where are the vids???

[@dropdeadfred7321]

So move past it? Janky Got it. :) ty love the videos

[@thegreatsluggo5116]

I can't get this to work anymore, can anyone tell me if this is patched? i've followed the guide to the T.

[@patriklang2519]

Well, unfortunetaly on Aberration I don't get it to work for a 90° angled foundation even when I am facing north or south on an uneven terrain (where uneven means a little bit off like a beach). I am trying to build on the big ledge in the blue zone (coordinates: 36, 65). The problem is, that I do not get a 90° snappoint for the spikes. When I build on a flat surface like one of these metal structures (concrete the big one at the fertile lake), then it works. Is there any other alternative that works "better" or more reliable? Does anybody has a tipp?

[@Kviden]

What system are you playing on? I've only test it on PC so idk about consoles. Do you have structure collision turned on? I've noticed that if you have it turned off in the settings this doesn't work as well. And do you have snapping disabled when placing the spikes? Because it's not actually a snap point, its just you place it freely and it will go 90 on the ramp, but I use the ladder to make it straight.

[@patriklang2519]

@@Kviden Hey, thanks for the response. I play on PC master race on an unofficial Server. I also have already read about the collision preventing this technique. So I turned the setting OFF which means that the collision is ON. But with that I can't even place the necessary things to get the 45° angle because the structure placement turns red. The weird thing is, that in my singleplayer test I haven't had to turn off the snapping (holding Q while placing). I will try this on the server as soon as the setting for the collision is ON again (meaning collision is OFF). That's my last hope.

[@patriklang2519]

@@Kviden I have now tested it with the disabled collision settings ON which means collision is OFF. But even with snapping disabled I cant get the Spikes to be placed on the vertical roof. Why is ARK so shitty?

[@ryanrios80]

I'm on PS5 unofficial on the center in the underworld and have tried everything possible and can't get it to do the 90 I've been trying for hours lol

[@etw4life970]

I can confirm that I wasn't able to do it because I was looking East

[@tylerdude8177]

Mew is under the truck just keep looking

[@Lucifer-Advocate]

I got it to work on official 10/13/2024

[@JayManner]

Ya knooo I do believe I was trying from the right as well

[@protectXsndXserve]

So can the foundations keep stacking to make a wall ?

[@Kviden]

Not vertically nah, they still need to be touching the ground. But you can put snap ceilings and hatch frames on them to build up vertically some.

[@oS-FrAcTuReD76]

Jank approved

[@Lucifer-Advocate]

This works on official? Can someone confirm

[@TheReal.Hornet]

It's just janky building, default ark stuff. So 90% yes

[@Kviden]

Yeah I tested it on official and it worked, at least on the pve server my friend plays on

[@Springbock4]

Doesn't work either. I felt so stupid now because I was looking south anyway. I then went into single player and it worked there... sadly this meants it doesn't work on the unofficial server where I'm playing on

[@Kviden]

Weird, I've tested it on the unofficial server I'm playing on and official servers and it worked on both of those o.0 are you trying to build with modded pieces or something? Or do you have structure collision turned off? I've noticed that does seem to make it more difficult to do

[@Springbock4]

@@Kviden Im not sure about that because its not my server. It has mods but im building with vanilla structures. I'm confused because whether it's on or off, both work in single player as you say. I tested it there to get a feel for it. Normaly I can place struktures half in a wall but but in the case of this spikes they always get placed on the top on the ramp or normally on the floor. The weirdest thing is on the server it doesn't matter with direction you look. The spikes get always places upright and swap (by the 90 degree angle) to the ground then XD

[@Gedanox]

Cannot replicate it anymore :/
