I love underwater bases. We had on on Lost Island. We had 4 ocean platforms connected by bridges and protected by ss glass walls that went deep down into the ocean. The thing was huge. Like 300 by 300 meters and 50 or more meters deep. We breed mosas, dunkleosteus, megalodons, pleisiosaurs and Tusotuthis there. Somehow eels always spawned inside our base, even though it was covered from all sides by walls or vacuum compartments. We had a underwater living compartment below the breeding area.
I took down an alpha Rex on day 7 with an imprinted pteranodon and a lot of patience. Using a 4x note I can now sit in my thatch hut basking in the glory of being level 91
Hiding the frame does make it look better, but once you get smithy's forges fabricators etc down there it will get noticed easily, still cool it doesn't need power tho :)
@@nathanrossiter122 it's not an ini, you need to open the console (same one as gamma) then put in the command, there are a bunch of others as well that you can put in to make the game look a lot like an INI without having an INI
This was how it worked in Structures Plus Mod. So I'm not surprised that they did it this way in ASA since the creator of S+ is the one whos in charge of structure development for ASA
I’ll never forget what they took from us replacing those gorgeous industrial sub bases from the artwork with the most ugly airtight cubes. If anybody wants an idea for a mod, create something like those OG art structures
Honestly I just learned this despite playing since launch. So cool. I’ve always wanted an underwater bases and not needing as much element is sick. I’m definitely doing this in Gen 1 or 2 maybe even at the lake in Aberration.
Back when ASE was still a thing, I used to build a huge underwater base and since I was on a rp server I made it like a Marine research base. Problem was, I wanted an Elevator going from the top of the ocean all the way down into the base. And everytime I tried it would just get flooded lol I'm gonna have to try and do another tek underwater base. Just gotta find the right location.
I did build a huge underwater base in ARK SE in a private server....it was fun, but looked messy, becuse you can't hide those hatchframes....was breeding rhinos, gigas, sharks, deinos, mantis, rock drakes...basically I was just breeding there, but looked cool....now it is insanely easy to build that :P
Already imagining a mod that allows you to remove all inner wall panels at once on the panel instead of one at a time lol Super cool cant wait to make a base with it 😅
I always loved building in underwater with the moonpools. I've actually been grinding away to hopefully unlock tek moonpools soon on the server I play on. It was easy to farm element on Fjordur so it made for creating moonpools simple later on. I love how they revamped this, and am looking forward more than ever to build another underwater base
Holy crap!! This is so nice!! I’m literally in an underwater cave at the bottom of the ocean. Like really deep! I feel like a mermaid. This would be really nice for my way of living.
I'm a PvE player... due to my work schedule being 13 hour days and not being able to devote the required time to PvP. This *definitely* piques my interest though... as it opens up a lot of beach areas that were hard to build on. Connecting them to the land to allow for easier access, for both your PC and tames, will be interesting though.
Ive lived in hard underwater for over a year in small tribes with 3 turret wall, moved to ice cave + easy underwater later and alos had it for over a year. No tek gen is nice , but beside that building underwater wasnt that bad. Do not put this randomly underwater unless you want to lose your loot. Build 1 of the 2 underwater cave or a pearl cave its muuuuuuuch safer
We had a massive breeding ground in 2018 in a server , had to , was forced underwater by mega clans who wanted blood and to just destroy us , they tried to raid us with squids but failed because we had higher tier squids and water takes
If you want to live underwater on a pvp server, be my guest. Hp stats are so unbelievably busted, basilios and tusos are hitting nearly 100k ez. Turtles are wild taming at 8k. Actual crazy stats. Old ark, 3 k was a good wild turtle.
I think the only question I have is at what level is each unlocked? I'm still somewhat of a newbie, but as I understand, Tek is more of a late game thing so needing a high level character or maybe defeating some bosses, but how early do these chambers unlock?
Build a Wood Base above it or Close, they see you go to it, but not swim down and think they found your base, they destroy or attack it and you have everything hid underwater,
That's awesome, anyone know if they have snap points for regular walls and structures to make rooms and door ways, I'm a pve builder so that would be awesome
Looks like they found a way to make the Shastasaurus saddle work & maybe it worked well, so they were able to implement this change into underwater tek base code 🤷
Can you also build inside it? Say if I wanted to make all the walls and ceilings invisible and build a stone structure inside it, would that be doable?
Needs more video about possibilitys and how to get there dino without cryos and if you can make the whole base invisible from outside or you still see it
Very late to the party here but U hope someone can still respond. But what are the super strong underwater raid tools he was talking about and how would you defend against it
I'm loving this! I always like building in the water and spending hours down there and this will be super handy for a base build. I'l be able to make my underwater castle like a fish tank concept.
I think this is a really cool feature , only question I have is , can someone else easily use that water like a ladder to get in your base , or is there a way to keep others out ?
Finally, they give underwater building some love.

@@miguelsalles7700 In ASE they didn't. In ASA they might. We'll see.

There are a lot of Structures Plus things that have been ported over
This is 1 of my most anticipated build as underwater bases are my specialty.

There gonna be some beautiful underwater bases with this change

Nice update, on ASE s+ modded onces ppl used to use these for shooting fabis/shotguns etc underwater, hope that will not happen with these
Thank you :)
OK, but you have to have Tek? I don't see those blocks in what I can do, so .... I guess this isn't an option for me yet.
I love this my last base was a vac base but good luck getting the black pearls to build a big base like that on the island 😂
O.O ooooo I love this! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😱😍
I think it is great!
@@TeachersGameToo yesss can build a giant underwater castle! 😍😭🤩
Holy crap!! This is so nice!! I’m literally in an underwater cave at the bottom of the ocean. Like really deep! I feel like a mermaid. This would be really nice for my way of living.
almost same as s+ vacuum compartment.
can make floating turret towers now maybe try that

Awesome vid, thanks for the info Teach
I look forward to testing these build ideas when I download the game next week
im new to ark and new to survival games in general. im so excited to try this when i get home with my gf and friends lol
Teach great vid thank you. You always cover the good stuff.
This is so cool, always wanted an underwater base

It would be cool if you could build houses in there with the other stuff like wood, stone, metal walls and junk
This is great information. Thank you for sharing with us.

Are you able to place these on the surface and flood them for a surface "fish tank"?
I hope so as that would even allow canals and locks/water elevators
Might do an underwater base. The reason I didn't before is you couldn't do rooms without those stupid pillar things being in the way
That’s super cool!
Question, can you use the vacuum compartments on dry land and flood them? Its something i really wanted from ASE but it sadly didn't work that way
You cannot
Missed opportunity :(
This will change a lot! Now... just gotta get to this level of equipment quickly.
after the game crash on me 2 times and i lost progress i didn't want to play but now i want to play again thank you :)
Yes!!! I can finally build a cool underwater base in vanilla ark!!
Hey Teach, been watching you for years. everything is looking awesome lately with what your doing in ASA! thank you
Really cool! But can you build walls on the inside? Like stone or wood
That's awesome, anyone know if they have snap points for regular walls and structures to make rooms and door ways, I'm a pve builder so that would be awesome
They kinda did in ase but it was a bit buggy getting things to snap right it should be better now tho
I wish I knew the levels and mats for the vac chamber
Tek
Soooo cool I love underwater builds ....
Everytime I watch these videos and your character all I picture is the shop teacher from Canada with the giant bobbies rofl 🤣🤣
Looks like they found a way to make the Shastasaurus saddle work & maybe it worked well, so they were able to implement this change into underwater tek base code 🤷
very cool, you give such good tips
You really went all out on that chest scaler when creating your charecter ehh?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Do you still have to unlock the engram in boss fights and/or craft in a tek replicator?
hello. What is your PC specifications? your graphics are so good.
How did I miss that, so cool
Can you also build inside it? Say if I wanted to make all the walls and ceilings invisible and build a stone structure inside it, would that be doable?
So where do you find these, this would be amazing for my under water build off of my castle
I wonder if they fixed forges inside of them. They turned off when player was away from underwater base
Wait! That character isnt horribly mutated and disfigured!
Fun fact you can fill compartments and place Dino’s in them
I was hoping for more building parts but a few questions, can i put other structures snap into the vacuum tubes
this is why im gonna have a huge underwater base now
Super for solo life ty for this Im on console so preparing now just got to solo the dragon beta
Wow this is amazing. I always thought building underwater was better and more fun than on land to be honest :D
Needs more video about possibilitys and how to get there dino without cryos and if you can make the whole base invisible from outside or you still see it
This would be so good for putting turrets underwater to
what happens if 1 wall is blown up? does the whole compartment flood? also how do you then get any large dinos out without cpods?
Tek teleporter
So they made the s+ version of the compartments the official version now that’s cool
I want to see you build a base underwater on the island.

Obviously you’ll be close to close before you log out. Put down turrets and such
Very cool! Can’t wait to unlock this in official lol
awesome changes
but you need the tek_?or how do you use that?
I'm hyped
also good to lego your way to some under wat pearl caves
theres a bug where if you're on a raft you cant see the light coming off of a campfire, standing torch, etc.
Can you place tek generators in the compartments because I cant
Is that a tek item? I haven’t seen it yet?
This is siiiiiick
Ima noob, is this out now or coming in a patch, I cant find it??
Sick!!!
This will be really useful when they finally give it to us console players 😢
Highly unlikely. The xbox will struggle with this
@rickrollrizal2747 what?
@@TravisTheSavage i have a 3060ti gaming desktop with 32gb ram and I have to play on low settings to get a decent game.
I like how they add literal underwater bases to the game but punish players for using a wooden raft by introducing leeds
So are all the tekgrams still locked behind boss fights? With all these changes I was wondering if they made it more accessible
Still locked Behind boss fight
Hello I play in official PvP I'm vacuum whatteer works with tek generator??
you still need the tekgram tho, right?
only cubes? no rounded, triangle?
What if that structure takes a missile? Does it all flood??
so basicly, they copied the s+ vacuum compartment and upgrade it a bit XD
i still like it tough
Can't wait to get me some tek
I'm gonna build Atlantis with this
It's all fun and games until you swim a fish into that air pocket. lol
Portable dive bell?
But its in Tech Tree so whats the deal with need no tech?
Ppl hate on the new ark but I think its going to be super legit
