You should update this video to incorporate all the changes and homestead structures. We've done some raft build that has rafts locked into 1 empty space and storage on the raft just below the main floor of our workspace. This allows you to move your storage near your fab, smithy etc, so you can worry less about weight limits and going back and forth. Builds such as this would be interesting to see you go over.
I'm only a week or two in playing "Ark" and seeing this blew my mind. The potential in this game is just so endless. It's like a much more interesting and adult version of "Minecraft" but with Dinosaurs. Definitely one of the best games I've played to this day.
@@Beanpolr no i read it right i was just making a joke on how it *could* be read a different way XD... guess the joke didn't translate right... oh wells
I never comment on anything but this guide was outstanding. Comprehensible, organized, straight to the point, and best of all, he isn't one of those garbage disposal "HEY, WHATS UP GUYS (insert topic)" youtubers. Thanks man.
Since Cyro pods have been introduced; there's no reason for huge bases anymore. Rafts are the way to go these days and small unique areas under trees that are out of view of flyers and so dense that you cannot access by large dinos.
This is without question the *best* tutorial I've seen on youtube yet and I am 46 years old. No loud music, very easy to follow instructions, well-spoken. Very pro. I hope I see more of this in your library, xONEWINGx! Very cool!! And TYVM!!! I was soooo lost.
One of the best boat building instructional vid ever. Great Vid. Would so love to see how you build each of these magnificent ships in a step by step vid.
Fantastic vid. I can't believe you got all that comprehensive and well organized info in 23 minutes. I just did a boat tut and only got a fraction of that info in the same length. Your boats are very inventive, utilitarian, and inspiring. Subbed.
Wow, holy shit. I was questioning if the breaching boat could be used to clip through base/avoid turrets so you can drive up, place c4, then back up and explode it. Then you fucking 1 up me with the bangalore boat. Fucking hell. Best raft video I've ever seen and you don't even seem to be an ark content maker.
I have to say that for a person such as I that likes to play by myself, finding this video was the best thing ever. I have been trying to find ways to tame without dying to hardcore. Now I can trap them and tame them on the fly. Thank you so much! I have to save this video for later.
You are a freaking legend, dude. I was wondering how to build even just the foundation on the raft while still being able to drive the raft. Thank you!
4 and a half years later and so much of this is still relevant. i play on a heavily populated rag server and spent much of my time here using boats as dry land is prime real estate. i even have a tek rep boat, inspired by the work here.
This was very very helpful. I'm a relatively new Ark player. I really struggled on my first character, building your expedition raft first has been a huge win on my second character. Could you post a tutorial on your trapper raft? I'm trying to build it on what I see in this video but am having problems finding the snap point for the dinosaur gate. Did you have to build the outer walls first then manually place the dinosaur gate? Did you use slopped roofs or ramps for the dino ramps?
Yeh I keep meaning to get to that tutorial but it can be done any number of ways, I used sloped ceilings in this video for the ramp. You should be able to just slap the gates down no trick involved.
xONEWINGx Thanks, you have been a great help. That's the direction I'm building but as a new character playing local I'm gathering resources for every piece I place. The dino gate just doesn't seem to snap. I'm going to try to build the rest of the pen and see if it just lets me manually place it.
xONEWINGx Thanks, I did manage to manually place one once, but it was off center. Now I know their manual like storage boxes I'll build the rest of the cage and try to center it.
I watched this video nearly nine months ago and it was enough, by itself, to persuade me to buy Ark. I've just started playing 1.5 weeks ago and only now am making my first raft. Excellent video, well edited, and extremely informative. Thanks for this, you've earned more than a sub - this is legacy stuff.
Thank you for making this effort, this was a great watch. I just survived a sarco attack on my first raft ever (it got all of my storage during my escape). I had seen other rafts which were all built up, but had no idea how to do it. Now I have the knowledge to make a well-defended raft :)
Came back here to ask the same. I tried for about a week now. Gone through a ton of ressources, but I cant make it work. So even, if thwis question is 4 years old, and the video even older: Could you please make a Tutorial on the Trapper?
I'm sure it's been stated in previous comments but I would most definitely prefer a shark cage tutorial. I've grown very interested in these boat tutorials and enjoy making these boats very much. I'd make the shark cage myself but I like watching your tutorials to make sure I know my limitations with the block limit and especially because of the special attention you provide to certain areas of the boat that I may not think of by myself.
Better edited and more informative than any other Ark video I've seen. Useful too, but your designs are WAY more ambitious than anything I was looking for. I mainly just want to build a boat I can park my trikes on XD
Very thorough. Speaks to a curious mind, answered every question that came to mind, and was well organized. Keep it up man. Also seconded the discovery channel narration comment.
I was having trouble with the sloped roof as well, I was able to determine which way it would face depending on the way I faced the wall I was putting it on. So the sloped roof will always face away from the interior of the wall, so you wave to make sure the inner wall (the side of the stone wall with the slab of wood) is facing the direction you want your roof to come down.
Narration 10/10 Boat Building Skills Epic/10. You Sir should be voicing movies, training videos and ARK tutorials ! Thank you very much for the boat building tips, Gonna build me a Ocean boat house to live in :D
Many thanks for your video. It made me start again with Ark. As I got raided and raped brutally in my last round I decided, that living on the water would be a smart solution. The enthusiasm I got from your vids was soon shared by my old colleagues who restartet with me now aswell. So we are 3 people at the moment, living in the open sea as pirates... actually as non-violent pirates :) MY QUESTION: You seem to have loads of experience on living in the water. Have you built a "Water World" once yourself? If yes, what should I consider? How could I defend against Battle-Quetzals. So far, it was very peaceful at my spot, but I think this can change very soon. As defense - appart from Plant-X and upcomming turrets - I want to tame as many water-creatures swimming below our city as possible. Also - inspired by your vids - I was thinking of getting some dimorphodons set to neutral (I hope that they would fly up to a quetzal/air unit when our rafts are under Fire). --> You or any of the readers/viewers have any suggestions for me appart from giving up that stupid idea???? Here is an Overview-Pic on our little city after a bit more than a week of "work": abload.de/img/img_6678jeui9.jpg We have: - Your Plant-Boat (great design, absolutely perfect, also for landrats) - 2 Carriers/Pens for medium sized Dinos (we got a Trike and an Ankylo so far) - 3 Expeditionboats (currently our homes) - 1 Underwater Pen (currently 2 Ichtys and 1 Turtle), also the top is our dilo-"pen" - 1 Dodo-Space, acts as village square aswell - 1 Pier for easy docking/connecting - 1 Pier-Adition with a Fabricator and some Cooking-Stuff
Wow. amazed with all these base designs. I just wanna say i appreciate all the effort you put into this! very helpful. You know you found a good tutorial when you get all the information you need from just one video. Very well organized and i love that you give possible uses for all the designs. Thank you! Gonna share this with my tribe :)
4 years later and this video is still relevant. Subbed and liked. cheers friend. thanks! Wanted to make my raft foundations flush for a few days now and didn't know how
So I've been playing this game since early stages when it was practically unplayable and the beach was loaded with friendly players and thatch huts. It's come a long way since then, and so have I with my abilities in the game to mass produce monster size bases to deal with higher level raiders. And despite all that I know I still learned from this video. Kudos! Great video!
You're pretty clever, you make boat building in ARK look as inventive as engineers in WWI. You've got a boat for everything, and they are pretty cool looking too. Any tribe would be proud to have you design their raids.
+xONEWINGx please do a tutorial on the boats I wish to build them all as I live on an island so it would help me greatly, some of the boats look so damn good and you are very informative. please do a tutorial on how to build every boat
+xONEWINGx Yes this video is fantastic! You have created some great boat designs. I love the expedition and carrier boats! Fantastic job! Would love to see the carrier boar tutorial as well. This video has been extremely helpful! Thanks!
The trapper raft is amazing! Made taming strong carnivors/herbivors easy. Just have to go to carnivor/herbivor island with a raft and an argent and aggro & lure one dino in each cage (or several scorps/ankylos in a single cage for instance). Since I need about 10 minutes to go back to my base with the raft I usually narco them before travelling back in order to make them hungry before I start the tame. Being a solo player on PvE, this build is a huge time-saver. Thanks a lot!
Your technique for lowering Foundations is not the best, I lower my foundations to the same effect much more simply: a) Place a central pillar b) Snap a foundation off to the side of the pillar c) delete pillar from a) d) snap new pillar inside of foundation from b) e) delete foundation b) - now repeat from step B) and you will only use 1 pillar and 1 foundation for each lowering step. Other than that, please stop telling everyone about the Bangalore boat ;-) - that shits OP
I tried alternate method and worked great. The problem I have is it won't let me set that last foundation below raft deck so I can't access control. Anyone have advice on how to get the foundation down one more level. It tells me it is obstructed.
luke ross I mean effectively. Does inventory space play a roll? And could I essentially have a floating base? ( I heard your body remains in game unprotected when logged out)
Just go crazy crafting Narcotics once you unlock it, gives ton of XP. the plant eaters parasaurs are easy to tame with berries, their attacks on bushes give you a TON of berries. Itll click as you play dont worry if you dont understand right now.
I was searching around ark maps and found some amazing boats. So I tried to copy, but was lost on how to sink the foundation. This video was a ton of help. I was playing around with the build and built a wood pirate boat just to see what I could do. The length and height is limited. But looks good considering. Good job and thanks for the tips.
Normally I don't mind long videos, especially if it's because they're detailed and thorough (like yours), but sometimes I need information quick. This is why I'm super thankful you bookmark differnt sections of the video. You take a lot of care and deserve more subscriptions. Personally I think you should step away from boats/techniques that exploit design flaws of the game, like the catapult and C4 that clips through the enemy boat. I'm of the opinion that they're all overpowered, because you can completely bypass defenses while remaining invulnerable yourself. Unfortunately more people will use these exploits if they see your video :| @ 2 minutes and ~5 seconds, you say "make sure it snaps to bottom of pillar instead of foundation" (paraphrase), couldn't you just demolish the foundation to insure it snaps to the pillar? You demolish it right after anyways. Also, I'm wondering, if you only lowered it 4 times, instead of 5 times like you did, so that the foundations weren't in that half clipped stage that looks weird, would it still be protected from below?
Definitely works on XBOX. I do it on every server. Sometimes I have trouble with certain building types but I use thatch and replace it. it works everytime
You are a raft genius. I've never played on a pvp lobby before, but I guess being on one for a long time would induce ideas that would seem idiotic but prove useful.
My apologies, I should have been more specific. Centering the raft build. There is no snap points on the PS4 version. Both myself and a friend have tried this method for over 30 minutes without any success.
The Slipernator Bro I just built this it works. On ps4 on official pvp server, want me to help you build it bro? Just reply with ur gamertag and ill add you.
I've made wood and stone based expedition boats, that have a crows nest, so I can tame from up there. You just have to repair your walls after taming. I've built something modeled after an aircraft carrier, 2x6 long for the landing area on a 3 block wide boat. The side lane is for having a raised platform and a door in and out of the flight deck. I love the trapper with double pens, that's a Genius design. Very well done sir.
Any chance you would be able to do a tutorial video on the Trapper Boat? (15:15) I'm having trouble using the pillar + foundation method to get the height of the foundations as low as you seem to have gotten them in your video.
Excellent video, i was an idiot when it came to getting the first piece to align correctly, would always eye ball it and it never worked, now i know how to center it, thanks to you
i just started getting into ark and this is amazing. I come from Fallout 4 building settlements and the building processes on this game are incredible and way more fun!
This vid is brilliant, I can't think of any question unanswered when it comes to raft building. Admittedly these are predominantly pvp style boats but I've taken bits from this vid another of his and put the together to build a taming, carrier and mini base all in one. Thanks mate!
This was extremely helpful! Your always directly to the point and demonstrate perfectly! These ideas are really gunna help alot! The expedition and the dino trapper have to be my favorite two!

Very thorough. Speaks to a curious mind, answered every question that came to mind, and was well organized. Keep it up man. Also seconded the discovery channel narration comment.
im having a hard time getting the ramps to snap in the correct way on the trapper boat
There is no ramps its sloped ceiling.
xONEWINGx
Yes, but i was having issues with them
xONEWINGx
Its because i wasnt putting angled walls
Kevin Smith Theres a difference between sloped roofs and ramps. Sloped Roofs require angled walls, ramps do not.
I was having trouble with the sloped roof as well, I was able to determine which way it would face depending on the way I faced the wall I was putting it on. So the sloped roof will always face away from the interior of the wall, so you wave to make sure the inner wall (the side of the stone wall with the slab of wood) is facing the direction you want your roof to come down.

do you have step by step video for the shark cage?
LeftySwag not yet, but will.
awesome i like the trapper and shark catcher
i also love the shark catcher and the trapper could you do a tutorial on both thanks steve
Finally built an exact Match of the trapper boat. Works perfectly. Lots of ways to lay this boat out. Thanks bro
wild card watched this video no doubt
what makes you say that
How so? All this still works.
Mikee Remastered i cant get it to work on xbox
Definitely works on XBOX. I do it on every server. Sometimes I have trouble with certain building types but I use thatch and replace it. it works everytime
Doesn't seem to work any more
you may not be the most energetic UA-camr but the builds are amazing!!!!
Does anyone know what the item rotate button is for PS4?
Vincent Lee Latham Its Traingle.
Vincent Lee Latham how do u chat in game lol I can't find the option to write
Harambe Uchiha Hold L1 and press the touchpad
You are a raft genius. I've never played on a pvp lobby before, but I guess being on one for a long time would induce ideas that would seem idiotic but prove useful.
Sinking the foundations doesn't work anymore.
Probably one of the more helpful videos I've come across. Thanks! my boat game just went up quite a few levels!
PS4: I've been trying this for the past 30+ minutes, it will not snap into place anywhere. I've tried all angles and standing positions.
What isn't working? people you have to be specific there's a lot of things in the video all of which are working as of yesterday.
My apologies, I should have been more specific.
Centering the raft build. There is no snap points on the PS4 version.
Both myself and a friend have tried this method for over 30 minutes without any success.
There was a patch that effected that, can't you grab the rudder then pull the pillar back over the mast? watch my latest vid if you want an example.
The Slipernator Bro I just built this it works. On ps4 on official pvp server, want me to help you build it bro? Just reply with ur gamertag and ill add you.
OK I've finally found out what the issue is. When holding the "pillar" make sure to bring up the circular menu and choose "drive"
I've made wood and stone based expedition boats, that have a crows nest, so I can tame from up there. You just have to repair your walls after taming. I've built something modeled after an aircraft carrier, 2x6 long for the landing area on a 3 block wide boat. The side lane is for having a raised platform and a door in and out of the flight deck. I love the trapper with double pens, that's a Genius design. Very well done sir.
I sure hope the Bangalore boat was patched after you showed it ... that is messed up ...Maybe you should have kept that one to yourself lol
You are a great teacher mate, your techniques were so helpful for me.
15:17 best boat by far well done sir and will be sure to use this soon
You sir are a raft building MONSTER! Great video. Can't wait to build a couple of these designs.
that was fantastic. real innovation there. my ambitions for a flotilla were much lower until now
wow.. was a little difficult to make the taming raft just from the vid.. but worked out GREAT my tribe were very impressed cheers mate!
Dude this video is awesome. I had no idea how much you could actually do with a raft
Any chance you would be able to do a tutorial video on the Trapper Boat? (15:15)
I'm having trouble using the pillar + foundation method to get the height of the foundations as low as you seem to have gotten them in your video.
Excellent video, i was an idiot when it came to getting the first piece to align correctly, would always eye ball it and it never worked, now i know how to center it, thanks to you
You sound like Landis from subnautica and I love it
i just started getting into ark and this is amazing. I come from Fallout 4 building settlements and the building processes on this game are incredible and way more fun!
Thank you for the breach boat idea !!! Just raided a metal boat base with turrets and got some nice loot thanks to that little strategy
This vid is brilliant, I can't think of any question unanswered when it comes to raft building. Admittedly these are predominantly pvp style boats but I've taken bits from this vid another of his and put the together to build a taming, carrier and mini base all in one. Thanks mate!
THANK YOU for showing what it looks like when you drive the boat. I've been wanting to build one but didnt know if it would hinder my vision at all.
This was early on, it has been changed the visibility is much better now then when this video was made.
Loved watching this entire video while using the toilet most of my bases are boats or underwater so this has been some good insights
This is great information, not only for raft building, but for all types of construction. Thank you so much for the info.
I don't play pvp only pve and I still found this very interesting and useful - thanks for sharing
This video took my gameplay to a whole new level!
I know this video is dated back a couple years but wow. Still awesome boats. I love the taming boat the most. Brilliant.
thanks for putting in the hours to make this video, this was very helpful.
This was extremely helpful! Your always directly to the point and demonstrate perfectly! These ideas are really gunna help alot! The expedition and the dino trapper have to be my favorite two!
