​@Osatrolls you think you're entitled to content? 🤣 the dude can post literally whenever and whatever he feels like, or not at all, and you have no entitlement to or control over that.

[@Magnum.Bloodstone]

TIP: Feeding Trough can be configured to only allow specific dinos (like Achatinas) so you could put cake in the trough and not be concerned other dinos will eat it.

[@begobagobae1437]

I've played ark a little so I know some but aren't cakes expensive

[@FeuerToifel]

if i remember correct, the feeding cooldown will still apply in the trough. so, once 1 snail ate a cake from it, it will have the 30 sec cooldown and only after that another snail can eat. with good level/high food snails that should not become an issue tho.

[@FranksBellyGod]

taking a brake is good don't feel bad for doing so. it helps keep you grounded and reduces burnout. i use to work multiple jobs that took all my time and had a complete brake down. so take brakes often. i also noticed that i was more motivated and my brain worked better after a long rest. i just recently came across your videos and started watching your old ones along side the other guys. you guys drown out the silence when i work from home. so thanks for that. so ya take brakes often helps you make better content.

[@badiiman]

I think your concept of "Quality" is waaay higher than what your fans actually want. Quality for me is the fact you can play the game with amazing graphics, that you can play without boosted settings and mods cause you have this job. And on the cherry on top, you are a really fun dude!!!

[@full8497]

Also if you store your unused organic polymer in snails, it triples the spoil timer

[@lezestykiwi909]

I’ve been binging this entire series for the past 2 weeks and now I have to WAIT to each episode? I’ve been so spoiled up until now haha love the videos

Syntac: don’t trust snails they plotting Also syntac: I’m taming snails

[@loganskiwyse7823]

Snail farm tips and tricks. (sorry, this is very late). Snails can be on follow and wander at the same time and still produce. This means snails do not have to be caged like before and once they settle around their guide they stop moving! Making collecting even large numbers of snails organized and easy. Snails have no oxy stat, one way to keep them safe is shallow water on follow to a water dino. Few water creatures attack them outside the swamp making this a very safe no wall space to keep them. Once you get food stat over 10K (you can do this even with mid-level snails) they only really have to be feed weekly or every 10 days. Still, I like to just make cakes daily once setup. Veggie cakes and Theri combo for boss fights makes keeping up on the cakes worthwhile.

[@EquisetumGaming]

I love how the inside roof of the achatina farm reflects the texture of the snail shells. Very appropriate build!

[@arrank07]

Don’t wanna be that guy syntac but is there anyway you can bring some awareness to wild card about the single player issues cos a lot of people can’t play cos it isn’t saving anything and they don’t listen to anyone unless they have a following

[@joshuamckenzie831]

Have you tried the console command saveworld

[@Elionuf]

I'm on xbox and it doesn't make me save, it saves automatically. Haven't had any issues

[@arrank07]

@@Elionuf every time I leave my game it sets me back about 4 hours it’s really frustrating and I’ve tried everything

[@germanspacepug6373]

I've had a few issues but after using the save world command then exiting to the main menu then closing the application, I've had no issues on ps5. Don't get me wrong, they need to fix it, but that's been a solution that works for me until they reintroduce the save button

[@Ironstar27]

I know the issue you’re facing. There is a solution. The problem is there is an assist overflow at coordinates 50 50. I don’t know why this is, but a dinowipe will fix it. It’s only a temp fix, but it is better than nothing.

I have my snails on top of my kibble farm and they're constantly falling through the ceiling. I'm glad to see I can fix it so easily by just weighing them down. As always, cool build and great video!

[@Cameronkolls]

@Syntac. If you plan on keeping the snails weighed down, then try and put them in a line so you can just go down the line.

[@amandaburns5429]

I'm glad your back on ARK. Syntac

[@boombox9720]

Honestly dude I just like seeing your progression and really appreciate your grind and I do understand asa is kinda just dry so I do understand the diversity in videos

[@1EyeLewis88]

That build after you made the changes to entrance was so nice. The wood over the Stone roof looks so good might have to play with that idea.👌🏻

[@edmorris9519]

Great content as usual. The snails are also good for storing organic poly.

[@giovannijoseph5173]

They should have the Prego picking up stuff off the ground would, since it likes stealing so much😂

[@GamingwithJael]

9:01 love your Ark videos though

[@lucasmcpeak1102]

Syntac shitting on his videos is a vibe

[@thebluestig2654]

There was a cave in the mod map Caballus in ASE that had "Cave Level" Achatinas all around level 350 that could actually be tamed. Those things could make THOUSANDS of Achatina Paste per day.

[@Dani.335]

GOD THANK YOU! you didn't abandoned Ark💖I was worried with the new game palword you will switch to that game

[@riverransom]

if you want to get rid of the stone, the cages still work. i keep a snail, oviraptor, and dungbeetle in them and havent had them escape once

I like the pointy structure/ It looks really nice. I've got to say it's good to have you back and I look forward to what your new design for a greenhouse will be.

[@leelu2274]

Was the farmer and item collector strictly s+?

[@philiprobbins]

Stick a Pachy in the middle of them and put them all on long distance follow.

[@evil-robot]

The snails seem to fall through the floor when bumping into each other. I've found that separating each snail into a walled off quarter square allows them to be on wander without having to overload them with stone. One advantage of this is that you can then use them to store surplus organic polymer.

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

The building reminds me of the Achatina shell so its appropriate. Anyway your contents amazing so its definitely worth the longer wait for videos.

[@hitavi4965]

Syntac snail will haunt my nightmares from now on

[@lindafrugtedevries731]

If you place a snail in a wooden cage and have the cages 1 foundation apart they will not mate. Also they have a harder time escaping the cages.

[@leakproof3992]

you can spay/neuter them

[@T0X1X_CAMPER]

Bringing a frog into the redwood cave gets about 4k+ cementing paste per cave reset

[@elvennations]

If you want to just put out videos whenever they're ready, I think that's gonna be great. As much as I enjoy having a new video every day, there's plenty of other daily stuff to watch and it gets hard to keep up with it all. As for Sossage Party, Green Hell is a really interesting game. Can't wait until you guys start making stuff with mud. Also, great build. I'm definitely gonna adapt one of my current buildings with this design. And the little monkey would be a great option for something to put with the snails to pick up the paste.

[@JamesForde-nb1us]

Bro do whatever upload schedule and uploads you want to bro , don't entertain for views , do what makes you happy bro

[@KemoHay]

Tip for taming snails next time Syntac. You can grab the snail in a beak of your argy by C key. That way when you dismount your argy it is still holding the snail for you to shoot it.

[@MercuryAlphaInc]

Syn, if you want to take things slower and maybe vary the games you play then do that, bud. We're here for *you* and your personality that entertains us. No need to burn yourself out. In fact, like the saying goes, "absence makes the heart grow fonder" and it's true really. I know I get more hyped for a vid of yours if it's been a couple of days, cause then I know you've been cooking up something especially awesome, even though every vid you put out is awesome in and of itself.😂 Keep up the good work, bud!

Finally an ark video after 2 weeks

[@brettsonnier4175]

Ik it went from a video every single day to like 1 every week or so. And there’s not like a recognizable pattern. Sometimes he posts one in 5 days and sometimes it’s like. This time jt was 2 weeks. Does anyone know if there’s a reason he isn’t uploading often anymore? Bc as far as I can tell there is no explanation. It make me wonder if there’s something going on in his personal life or if he just isn’t interested in the game anymore.

[@brettsonnier4175]

Of corse as soon as I post this comment I get to the part in the video where he explains 😂

[@grumpyhouse]

Pego would be a perfect candidate for picking up drops. Bonus if you could assign it to storage for drop-off.

[@DeoxTew]

21:00 I know, I hate the new greenhouse glass. It looks like TAA Ghosting, and that's why I always turn of TAA.

[@scath_mac_tire2735]

Tip: Do not use wooden railings - they do get like "meshed" in the gap and go under, you can use stone railings, those work for us. Question: will you add superstructures mod? basickly S+ migrated into ASA Fun tip: The snails can wear ghillie helmet - makes it look like wandering bush XD

[@1EyeLewis88]

Man, the snail point would be amazing. I'm not sure how they would do it, but a dino that picks up paste is needed.

[@bmxdavid656]

Putting snails in cages works great! 👍

[@VishalDave-y8r]

Sorry. Late to the party. Anyone know where I can find the breeding settings Syntac uses for his ASA server? I was watching one of Axeman’s videos where he got 100% imprint with one care on this server and I would love to have that for my single player game on Xbox.

[@FourDigits]

I believe Achatinas can eat normal crops and berries once tamed. I think that the only benefit to feeding them veggie cakes past taming is that it boosts paste production (don’t quote me on that though).

[@funkyfro4]

Syn, take as many breaks as you want man. Any video you put out is a click from us anyway, and believe me when I say that we all enjoy them the way they are already. But mental health comes first always. Put out videos when you can, but just know I’d end up watching just so I can hear something as silly as “snorgy”. Keep it up man.

[@Amu-chanVT]

best thing is the mask on the snail 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Laura_milne100]

i love the ark christmas music

[@mistamcmarx]

Loving the new content with your wife! In terms of the avatar footage, just release it. It doesn’t need to be good because most of us aren’t here for the actual games, we’re here for you. I was just enjoying it because it was a new game that you’re exploring and even if it’s not “exciting” I’ll still have it playing while I eat😂

[@skittleman5630]

you could put a corridor between the cementing paste farm and the polymer farm

[@Mochaman2164]

Not sure if the settings on the server I play on or if you’ve figured it out after this video was made but you can change the alter the greenhouse to look normal like on ASE. Hope this helps

[@theboringhermit]

As far as I know, that’s a mod. A server I’m on and my own server both have it. I haven’t noticed that they’ve done anything in the base game like it.

[@draconicwolf6499]

Why am I not surprised to hear that WC messed up the christmas update mod. Generally whenever you remove a mod, it removes all related stuff for that mod. If structures added by the mod are removed, stands to reason skins would be as well. For structures and players. There's no way those guys would get it set up correctly right away.

[@drake713]

Buildings despawn before dinos so they fall through. If you teleport to or from your water pen you'll kill your fish too

[@andersondevon44]

Picking up the paste would be a great job for the little thief creature. Pego I think it’s called? Everybody already hates that thing. But it would give it a use to tame.

[@javiermorin1474]

Syntac you think you could let us know your pc specs cuz your ark runs hella nice compared to mine. Thank you and awesome video as always

[@WatchingCrow]

Nb4 all the comments saying “So no more Palworld??” 😂😂

[@hastewolf4535]

Syn probably already knows about the frog meta

[@Keiken0]

They really need to give Mesopithecus the ability to picl up items. And I also think Gigantopithecus should be able to access Inventories and put things from a creature Inventory into a vault. Automating the gathering of basic resources like Wood and Stone needs to be a thing (there is a reason why Automated Ark is one of the most downloaded mods and also why Palworld is so popular)
