I like to use a feeding trough instead of preserving bin because it's a cheaper preserving option. Feeds your dinos, preserves, more slots, and no sparkpowder! :) Love the design. you did a great job of fitting everything in just right.
Arahli The Geek I used your raft design on a server I recently joined and it's working out great! I put the trough up by the bed and the mortar and pestle fit by the furnace and smithy in that small corner.
Rafts are amazing! Endless possibilities and fun! On the server i play on i am one of the alpha tribes. Even though i only live on a raft with a wooden box on it. Rafts are too op ! Funny thing is that people dont suspect small wooden rafts, so it has never been broken/raided before
+Cheb they are amazing man! I can't believe more people don't use them. I have a ridiculous little build I need to record that is great for surprising people.
I know it's been a few years since you've uploaded this but I gotta tell you of an ultra fast way to eliminate the floor dropping technique I just learned! Place a wooden fence foundation at the end of your raft aiming it so it's aiming straight down the center. Place a wooden pillar in the center of the raft, place three foundations along one side. Destroy the pillar and fence foundation then finish it off with the foundation of choice, wood, stone steel.
Nice job on the raft dude. I just started Ark a day ago and I wanted to do a raft base because it seems pretty cool. Thank you so much for showing me how to build a raft. Again, nice job on the raft, it looks great.
Just wanted to say this boat is awesome, changed the game for me. The highlight is taking down 2 Carnos and while taming them took down pack of 4 raptors and taming one of them.
Thanks man!! This is the reason I started making UA-cam videos. I wanted people to see that you could live completely on a raft. Stupid Leeds make it tough now though!!
Arahli The Geek I know It's ruins the idea of a raft ocean base but I'm in a pvp server and thinking of just having it patrol through the river where there's no Leeds and I can gather metal
+TheGamingScientists that is exactly how I started on a PvP server. I actually think I had three though. Two up front and one in the back off the roof.
Built this today! works amazing! I have everything but the fabricator, I just filled that side up with extra storage bins. Thanks for a great tutorial. Been watching a lot of your videos as well, love the positive attitude you have. Makes me want to keep watching. Just subscribed!
L00N47IK thanks for joining the channel! I'm glad you like the layout, this is my favorite way to get started on any server. PvP requires some modifications, but I still love this little boat.
Arahli The Geek I only play PVE right now (new to the game) and it's great for gathering resources if your base is in a secluded place like mine. Really appreciate the video though!
I only play PvE too. That's why I made the little mobile base. I love swinging up to the snow biome and filling up with oil to refine gas or collect organic polymer in huge quantities and know that I can log of whenever and be good to go.
Ladders are a good way to get perfectly straight. Place your cooking pot before your wall idk if it is affected by foundation or not . Will make for a nice gathering raft.
arahli you may be a geek but to me you're a hero cuz you always give the best tutorials not sayin other youtubers don't but you tutorials always explain why you shouldn't do this a that and tell us HOW exactly how to do it #KEEP IT UP
Will snapping the stone foundations underneath the thatch roof work on the tablet as well? I’ve tried and I haven’t succeeded it won’t let me place my stone foundation under the thatch roof at all
I couldn't find a better raft base than this one. It's amazing and really good for our little tribe of 5 players. I'm also thinking about to build Spike Metal Walls in the front and put the ramps in the back for those monsters that you face in the sea or near the beach
Great ideas man. I revamped the roof to be more user friendly and fit a few more birds a few videos after this, and really like the look. I'd love to see your tribes take on the raft, feel free to tweet me a pic "@ArahliTheGeek".
Nice video thanks for the ideas for me to build a new boat, only been playing this game for the last three weeks; and loving it!! Though only on Xbone I wonder this technique is still valid as there have been many patches to the game each week? But will give it a go.... cheers
+Jiraiya_Ero_Sannin welcome to ARK! The design still works today. I just built another one on a procedurally generated map to explore a bit. I did modify the top section a bit in a later video, definitely better for birds!
Love this design. Well thought out and practical. Good job !! Wanted to add that when I was placing the M&P's the game did not allow me to move them forward in K position as I would have had to walk back further but was unable to because of the walls behind me.
Glad you dig it! There are many more versions of the Nest in my videos. It's the framework for almost every first build I make on a server. Lots of different ways to use it.
Tame a flock of Megalodons, set them to follow the raft and attack your target. Two mate-boosted megs can kill a Leed of equal or lower level and 5 do the job even better.
I do the same thing when starting a server. My raft is a little bigger though. I go out one more row of foundations in the back. This is much easier with S+ though eh? I also do the the foundations that the walls sit on first, build my walls, then do the Trailer Park Girl foundations ( cause they go "round the outside" lol ). Makes it way easier to place the walls since there's only the one snap point. In case anyone who finds this is having problems with walls placing backward.
Great tip! Every time I say 'round the outside, that goes through my head. S+ is amazing for building. I really hope ARK picks up a lot of the ideas that have been used in that mod!
Caitlyn Johnson glad you like it. I Love this little raft. I've updated the design a few times mostly in small ways, so feel free to jump around my videos to see the changes made.
I definitely will. I used to play this on a server and a friend had a house boat but I was absolutely failing trying to remake it through memory so instead of wasting resources, I youtube searched and came across this one. I just want to add that your boat made their boat bite the dust. haha. Thanks for the detailed explanations. Subscribing :)
Hi Arahli, I havent had no trouble yet til the outside foundations, they do not want to snap under the thatched celeing tiles. Any ideas on what to do??? HELP!!! Want to try to build this!!
With my last raft build I found those damn birds would routinely destroy anything I left outside... do you run into that issue often with the external chests, campfire, and cooking pot?
+starwarsfreak99327 yep. My latest version of the Nest I take the building all the way back and ditch the wrap around foundation. Let's me put those things inside for protection.
Titus Foster this version is. However, there is enough space on the raft to finish filling in the foundations. I happen to like the look of the raft showing through, and on PvE I don't have to worry about attack. Just add a few more foundations and it is more secure.
YourMajesty100 Apparantly when you level the floor properly with the raft (I heard 10 pillars but haven't confirmed that count) the floor will then protect the raft itself, and you can then place floor where the driver rudder is and still be able to use it too. If the floor is not properly leveled, then the raft itself is vulnerable still.
The foundation trick with roof didn't work on Xbox. The foundation goes green and snaps but falls apart immediately (going back to the available, thank god). Spent ungodly amount of time yesterday and found workaround with pillars though spent x2 resources. Thanks for ideas anyway, a sweet layout. Interesting thing - I put window frames with reinforced windows instead of some walls and had them closed but that didn't stop Sarco from agroeing on me and sticking half his head through the wall. Any idea why?
+Christian Punceles double spawn point. Beds have a cool down, so if I die and come back and die again, I can still spawn back. Or if someone else is working with me and we both die, no wait for respawn.
thanks a lot for this inspiration :D I'll do a similar one on my server :D but I have to do one question, why do you place 2 beds there? and also I hope you don't mind, if I'm saying your speaking reminded me of Bob Ross "Snap in there buddy" :D greeting from Germany
+HowIndyAyer “HowIndyAyer” hahaha... "We don't make mistakes, just happy accidents!" I always place two beds because of respawn timers. If I was out with someone else and we both died to something stupid, two beds mean no waiting to get to work.
+Bryan Snow yessir. This build is made to fit into the official vanilla build limit with room for more pieces to be added. I know I once had some Plant Spieces X growing on there for some added defense from dinos and nosy players!
You may have pulled back just a bit too far when you placed your first foundations. The margin for error is pretty small. Also check to make sure you have your other foundations snapped in place already too. Makes a difference.
also if you choose to log out in the bed at sea be sure to put all your gear in a storage box as you have a good chance of glitching through the floor and drowning...
+Stuart Slaton yep, I just log out on one of the foundations, never had an issue that way. Also, rafts are the only platform you can grow plants on, so a few Plant Specie's X will give you a bit of defense. If used on PVP though I think your best defense is render distance. Park in the deep ocean!
I have glitched through foundations ..but i play on Xbone so i don't know if that makes a difference... Check out xONEWINGx's video about raft damage ... I can't remember the name you are right being hidden is the best thing about the boats
Can you list everything in the large storage box at the beginning? I paused and wrote down everything I could see just need a little more scrolling 🤑 keep up the 🔥 builds
They tend to show up in weird places on the map. I'm not sure how often ARK updates bed locations, but when you respawn, the bed may show up somewhere far from where you left the boat. Once you spawn back in, the boat will be where you left it.
Hello, I'm trying to build sort of the same raft but I can't seem to place/connect the foundations to the others. The first 3 foundations I did but when I place the thatch roof/ceiling at the end and then try to connect it doesn't work. Any help/suggestions? Thanks and have a great day. :)
+Iamme whoelse unfortunately, the latest patch by WildCard has broken that ability. Hopefully that will return, but currently the only way to build something like this is by using mods like Advanced Rafts or Structures Plus.
What about deep sea ? Can your raft get attacked by Mosasaurs etc? What if I get some tiny dinos inside and log out on the sea, can the raft+dinos get the aggro on some deep-sea dinos as well? Thanks !
The only thing that has ever attacked dinos on my boat is a sarco. Megaladons, plesis, and mosas have never tried, even with my dinos left outside. I leave dinos like trikes and beavers on the outside ring in the deep ocean all the time. They are left on passive though, so I know they won't venture in to the water at all. If you play on PVP, you should make sure to add a Plant Species X or two to the build. That should keep other players at bay for the most part. Thanks for watching!
Hey its hard to see the item numbers i was wondering if you had a list. If not thats cool ill figure it out it would just help with figuring out how much stuff i need =)
I built this on primitive plus. I used two steel vaults instead of the 45 slot box and made a double door system so I'm protected while driving. I have a ptera on the roof, a trike and phiomia on the sides and a dung beetle inside. I have a construction table where the fab goes and I plan to add two plant x and a ballista. I skipped the preserving bin and placed a apiary. I missed the ladders and the rail because I can jump off my trike or whistle my bird. I should have enough room to live on there.
+Ethan Cotton that is awesome! I noticed the preserving sheds are way to large to place in that spot on Primitive plus, but hadn't thought of the apiary! I'm going to borrow that idea from you. Great work making it your own.
+Arahli The Geek thanks man. The engram on xbox for bucket of clay is broke so I can't make the preserving shed anyway lol, I just put the food in my trike. Still boots spoil time.
Absolutely love the look of this build. Have been trying to get it build for about 4 total hours, and for some reason absolutely cannot get the back side foundations to be able to place. It is frustrating me immensely! Everything else goes well, but cannot get these foundations to place to save my life. Any advice? x[][][]x [][][][][] x won't place, R is rudder [][]R[][] [] []
If you are anywhere near the shore, pull out to sea. There is an odd issue with being to close to land stopping some foundations from placing. I'm glad liked the build! Let me know if that worked.
I had read about that in other comments, and have been building far out in deep water. Wish so badly I could figure out how to get it to work, I think your design is the most elegant, smartest build I've seen out of anyone's
Odd. So you can't even place the thatch roof when there are [B][F] and [D][J] are already placed? Honestly, if that's the case, I'd say tear it down, move a tad closer to the front of the platform and start again with all thatch to make it easy. Once that is all placed, you can easily replace the that with stone.
Yes, even with those adjacent ones placed, it's like I reached a distance limit or something because there's no reason it shouldn't snap. I'll keep trying, thank you for replying!
Server desync. Usually if you get out of render distance it'll be fine again. If all else fails, log out and back in. My quetz bases have done that too!
Wow, wasn't expecting such a quick respond. You are absolutely correct. I re-logged once right after and it did not work, I then got butt hurt and logged for 3 hours and when I came in a bit ago it was working as intended :)
Only motor boats can survive a hit it two from a whale. You can build this on a motorboat and usually you can out run them too. Another option is to watch the ocean with the orbital camera while you are on the water. You can toss honey into the water to distract them if they get close.
Not sure if its too late, but I believe it is; Stone: 2981 Wood: 2366 Fiber: 597 Thatch: 1571 HIde: 335 Flint: 16 Metal Ingots: 5 This excludes any of the material required to make need items (eg. Forge to make the metal for a smithy)
+World Of Tech I always use double beds for anything mobile. If I die and have to respawn, that first bed has a cool down timer. The double beds mean that if I die again right away, I can still spawn back on the boat. It's also useful if you are out with a tribe mate and you both die. Each of you has a bed to spawn back to.
+Albinacers haha! Heck yeah man! Once I have a permanent base up and running, this is a great mobile work station. Takes a bit to get where you are going, but not having to worry about weight limits is great.
Alex Reid thanks man! This little guys is how I start on pretty much any server I play on. The design has been tweaked a bit each time. Glad you like the design, and welcome to the channel!
Sorry for the delay, I had to recount the stuff on this version of the build. 7 pillars 16 stone foundations 14 thatch ceilings 12 stone walls 2 of each stone sloped wall 1 stone ceiling 2 wood ceilings 1 stone doorframe 1 reinforced door 1 wood railing 2 wood ramps The rest is basic stuff you would put inside (i.e. smithy, fabricator, storage)
+ApexAero hmm. There are other methods for that you could try. I think there is one that involves pillars and foundations. Been a while since I've done anything other then he trick I use. Are you placing the pillar at the snap point right next to the first pillar, then demolishing that first pillar before placing the next?
Spent 3-4 hours yesterday on this problem. I found that if you have the staring pillar in the raft where you started the build you can use roofs and pillars to get extra foundation to snap and stay in place. The pillars are a bit tricky to place as they tend to go through the roof so try to move around. Drove me crazy last night.
+KahnLol certainly possible. Those last few foundations could be added for protection in a PvP server. I play on PVE, and this is primarily a house boat!
nice video, but don't you think its smart to put down your settings a little bit? because it seems you are lagging a little which is quite annoying to look at ;)
Funny story - I hit a titanosaur so he'd chase away from my base (low level) Ran into the ocean, where he got caught on a rock. I'm like "problem solved" Fast forward, he's covered in blood...turns out he was "underwater" enough to drown. Harvested 1000's of hide and meat, and some prime. But this was like one of my first playthroughs, didn't know what to do with it all lol

What lv were u when u made this?
Arahli The Geek won't people just break the raft from the front
Everybody gangster till you’re playing online and someone steals your house
Hahahaha! So true....
I like to use a feeding trough instead of preserving bin because it's a cheaper preserving option. Feeds your dinos, preserves, more slots, and no sparkpowder! :)
Love the design. you did a great job of fitting everything in just right.
Great idea! I never thought of that!
Arahli The Geek I used your raft design on a server I recently joined and it's working out great! I put the trough up by the bed and the mortar and pestle fit by the furnace and smithy in that small corner.
Nice work! If you use Twitter at all, you should tweet me some pics. "@ArahliTheGeek" I'd love to see how the variation worked out!
No jerky
as a beach bob, and new player, I will use this build to get me off the beach. love the build
Thanks man! I still use this build when I start on a new server!
Rafts are amazing! Endless possibilities and fun!
On the server i play on i am one of the alpha tribes. Even though i only live on a raft with a wooden box on it. Rafts are too op !
Funny thing is that people dont suspect small wooden rafts, so it has never been broken/raided before
+Cheb they are amazing man! I can't believe more people don't use them. I have a ridiculous little build I need to record that is great for surprising people.
No offence but if ur in alpha tribe and ur base is wooden ur server is underdeveloped .again no offence
@@Crumblypanda100 well no offense, but on a PVE server, there is no point in making large metal bases.
Sean Campbell what PVE server has a alpha
@@seancampbell6292 you got it mixed up. PvE is where everyone builds huge bases that look nice. pvp is as small and compact as possible
I know it's been a few years since you've uploaded this but I gotta tell you of an ultra fast way to eliminate the floor dropping technique I just learned!

Great raft design! I'm going to utilize this in my world!
+John Chester awesome! Feel free to tweet me a pic if you want! "@ArahliTheGeek"
Always neat to see the Nest show up someplace else!
I love that design! I love making boats myself and pride myself on my designs, but your design is something I'd never have thought of.
+Trigan thank you! I really wanted some thing indiscrete, but really capable.
This is a genius design thanks for the walk through!!!
Thanks man!! This is the reason I started making UA-cam videos. I wanted people to see that you could live completely on a raft. Stupid Leeds make it tough now though!!

What do you think of putting two large crop plots on the front with species x in them?
+TheGamingScientists that is exactly how I started on a PvP server. I actually think I had three though. Two up front and one in the back off the roof.

Great job. I enjoyed building this compact raft base.
+Dakota Siouxx thank you. I really like making compact but fully usable base-things!
Great start, Arahli! I love raft bases and you've got a nifty design.
Thanks MP, I wanted to cram as much in there as I could!

zack ol lantern I'm glad you like the vids my man! I need to get back on the tutorial wagon soon.
Will snapping the stone foundations underneath the thatch roof work on the tablet as well? I’ve tried and I haven’t succeeded it won’t let me place my stone foundation under the thatch roof at all
I couldn't find a better raft base than this one. It's amazing and really good for our little tribe of 5 players.
I'm also thinking about to build Spike Metal Walls in the front and put the ramps in the back for those monsters that you face in the sea or near the beach
Great ideas man. I revamped the roof to be more user friendly and fit a few more birds a few videos after this, and really like the look.
I'd love to see your tribes take on the raft, feel free to tweet me a pic "@ArahliTheGeek".
I saw it and I take that roof idea too haha
Thanks for posting this, great intro to raft building
You should put rails on the outside of your float
Back to the game on PC after years away and this is still my first build!
Ha! Fantastic. Mine too!
This is an amazing build! I'm going to use it literally as soon as Im able to craft it :D
Thank you. I still build something like this almost every time I start up a new server.

Arahli The Geek 👍
Love that game I'm subscribing now awesome base by the way 😱😱
+Rally Racer appreciate the sub. I really like this little raft too!
Absolutely love this video!

I'll be checking them out! Thanks alot! Keep em coming! 👍 Plus one subscriber!
Love the boat man this is definitely going into my navy on the server I play on👍🏼
Nice! Pretty useful little boat. If you have seen the Builder Buddies episode, check it out. Roof deck gets a bit more usable.
I love you. Thank you so much for this lol it's awesome!
+Jesse Jarvis glad you like it! I build this little boat every time I start on a server.
defianatly building this raft it just looks really secure and symmetrical thanks so much
Thank you! You may want to check out the modified roof I made a bit later. Helps land flyers a little easier!
Arahli The Geek k I will thanks again
Arahli,
Great video. Love this raft, but now that Leeds are everywhere do you have suggestions?
Unfortunately, stick to the shallows while traveling. Glad you liked the video buddy.
Tame a flock of Megalodons, set them to follow the raft and attack your target. Two mate-boosted megs can kill a Leed of equal or lower level and 5 do the job even better.
Nice stuff! Love the intro music too!
+David Elliott thank you sir!
Ahh the glorious days before the Leedsichthys

Hi Arahli, I havent had no trouble yet til the outside foundations, they do not want to snap under the thatched celeing tiles. Any ideas on what to do??? HELP!!! Want to try to build this!!
Are they showing up green or red? And are you using vanilla pieces?
With my last raft build I found those damn birds would routinely destroy anything I left outside... do you run into that issue often with the external chests, campfire, and cooking pot?
+starwarsfreak99327 yep. My latest version of the Nest I take the building all the way back and ditch the wrap around foundation. Let's me put those things inside for protection.
Love your raft builds!!!
I'm a bit newer and i was wondering if the plain raft is still vunerable from attacks from the bottom since some parts dont have foundation?
Titus Foster this version is. However, there is enough space on the raft to finish filling in the foundations. I happen to like the look of the raft showing through, and on PvE I don't have to worry about attack. Just add a few more foundations and it is more secure.
Arahli The Geek how would i add more foundations to make it secure?
+YourMajesty100 you just need to snap in the foundations I left empty so I could see the raft.

Sarcos have a really odd hitbox. They still terrorize me to this day. Hopefully someday, dinos won't be able to stick their heads through walls...
cool built, but whats the reason for the 2 beds? thanks
+Christian Punceles double spawn point. Beds have a cool down, so if I die and come back and die again, I can still spawn back. Or if someone else is working with me and we both die, no wait for respawn.
didn't they take out the option to snap foundations under cealings? or was that only for platform saddles?
Viiz Venganza they actually added it back in after taking it away. It only works on rafts and platform saddles.
+Arahli The Geek did it ever work on anything else other than that
There was a short bit of time that you could use the trick on the ground to fill in problem foundations, but it wasn't reliable.
NICE BASE MAN!
+fifaplayer 2016 glad liked it! Thank you for checking it out.
thanks a lot for this inspiration :D I'll do a similar one on my server :D
but I have to do one question, why do you place 2 beds there?
and also I hope you don't mind, if I'm saying your speaking reminded me of Bob Ross
"Snap in there buddy" :D
greeting from Germany
+HowIndyAyer “HowIndyAyer” hahaha... "We don't make mistakes, just happy accidents!"
I always place two beds because of respawn timers. If I was out with someone else and we both died to something stupid, two beds mean no waiting to get to work.
Ah, okay ^.^ so did I ^^ Finished my raft today, with a mixture of stone and wood. Is pretty nice.
+HowIndyAyer “HowIndyAyer” nice work man! I'd love to see a pic. If you want to upload it to Twitter, tag me @ArahliTheGeek !
I'll do so tomorrow after finishing my nightshift ^.^ but for now I'll drop a follow if you don't mind :)
+HowIndyAyer “HowIndyAyer” sounds great man!
nice dude this worked for me and I don't get raided that much because I keep hiding/driving(I don't know the right word) away from them lol
+Alessandra Gaspar perfect! That was what I wanted to be able to do. A fully mobile base that can just disappear off the radar.
Alessandra Gaspar I feel you..... actually... I have a secret to tell you...... I found you're raft..... I also donated some rare stuff......
Can this be done in official pve with wood?
+Bryan Snow yessir. This build is made to fit into the official vanilla build limit with room for more pieces to be added. I know I once had some Plant Spieces X growing on there for some added defense from dinos and nosy players!
this raft is dope but the 2 back corner ceilings dont wok anymore i cant figure out why
You may have pulled back just a bit too far when you placed your first foundations. The margin for error is pretty small. Also check to make sure you have your other foundations snapped in place already too. Makes a difference.
also if you choose to log out in the bed at sea be sure to put all your gear in a storage box as you have a good chance of glitching through the floor and drowning...
+Stuart Slaton yep, I just log out on one of the foundations, never had an issue that way. Also, rafts are the only platform you can grow plants on, so a few Plant Specie's X will give you a bit of defense. If used on PVP though I think your best defense is render distance. Park in the deep ocean!
I have glitched through foundations ..but i play on Xbone so i don't know if that makes a difference... Check out xONEWINGx's video about raft damage ... I can't remember the name you are right being hidden is the best thing about the boats
Can you list everything in the large storage box at the beginning? I paused and wrote down everything I could see just need a little more scrolling 🤑 keep up the 🔥 builds
+Leonitis McGyver that is a good idea! I'll have to look at my notes and I'll update the description.
Thanks. I'm watching your chalico video now. Man you're hilarious
When I die the beds don't show up for me to spawn on
They tend to show up in weird places on the map. I'm not sure how often ARK updates bed locations, but when you respawn, the bed may show up somewhere far from where you left the boat. Once you spawn back in, the boat will be where you left it.
can u plz do some boat driving i would like to see it in action
+Jaheim The Gamer I haven't been on that server in a bit. Sounds like fun. I'll see what I can do for you.
How do you move the control for the boat??
+somewhataddicted you don't unfortunately, you can only steer from that rudder.
Arahli The Geek oh, thanks for replying
Did a fish fall from the sky at 3:20🤣
Justin Time99 haha! I had to watch that part again to see what it was. Debris from the demolished pillar!
You are my favorite geek mate
Awww, Thanks man!
Hello, I'm trying to build sort of the same raft but I can't seem to place/connect the foundations to the others.
The first 3 foundations I did but when I place the thatch roof/ceiling at the end and then try to connect it doesn't work.
Any help/suggestions?
Thanks and have a great day. :)
+Iamme whoelse unfortunately, the latest patch by WildCard has broken that ability. Hopefully that will return, but currently the only way to build something like this is by using mods like Advanced Rafts or Structures Plus.
Oh, ok thanks. I had a slight feeling, guess I was right. Thanks for the quick reply. Enjoy your day.
Iamme whoelse sorry buddy. I really hope WildCard changes it back.
Me again, I sort of found a solution, I just use stone ceilings. That seems to work.
What about deep sea ? Can your raft get attacked by Mosasaurs etc?
What if I get some tiny dinos inside and log out on the sea, can the raft+dinos get the aggro on some deep-sea dinos as well?
Thanks !
Oh and, great one :)
The only thing that has ever attacked dinos on my boat is a sarco. Megaladons, plesis, and mosas have never tried, even with my dinos left outside.
I leave dinos like trikes and beavers on the outside ring in the deep ocean all the time. They are left on passive though, so I know they won't venture in to the water at all. If you play on PVP, you should make sure to add a Plant Species X or two to the build. That should keep other players at bay for the most part.
Thanks for watching!
Alright thanks!
I copy all you made and what a beast that is a damm good looking fabrik and harvest machine ;) thanks a lot
On console there's a flag on the raft , any way to get rid of it ? New to this
+IAmDagton yep! In the radial menu for the raft should be an option to "Hide Sail"
I'm leaving a like
+Rally Racer thank you!
every thing needs to be perfect nice bro
+Jaheim The Gamer haha. It's annoying if stuff isn't straight!
Is a raft base via learning or do u get attacked alot by the megalodons
Its pretty rare that anything attacks.
I loved the video, but for me, I’m on Xbox, the ladders wouldn’t even snap to the outside. I was wondering if anyone knew why this was.
Awesome you get like and sub.
Thank you! There are a few variations on the Nest these days.
Hey its hard to see the item numbers i was wondering if you had a list. If not thats cool ill figure it out it would just help with figuring out how much stuff i need =)
could you make a more pvp like version of this? i mean i would try to just experiment, but im always lacking materials
Somehow I made a raft base and it has everything, a fabricator, smithy Dino storage with a gate and everything else
Hey, um could you list all of the things you used? It'd be a lot easier for everyone, and great build m8👍🏼
I built this on primitive plus. I used two steel vaults instead of the 45 slot box and made a double door system so I'm protected while driving. I have a ptera on the roof, a trike and phiomia on the sides and a dung beetle inside. I have a construction table where the fab goes and I plan to add two plant x and a ballista. I skipped the preserving bin and placed a apiary. I missed the ladders and the rail because I can jump off my trike or whistle my bird. I should have enough room to live on there.
+Ethan Cotton that is awesome! I noticed the preserving sheds are way to large to place in that spot on Primitive plus, but hadn't thought of the apiary! I'm going to borrow that idea from you. Great work making it your own.
+Arahli The Geek thanks man. The engram on xbox for bucket of clay is broke so I can't make the preserving shed anyway lol, I just put the food in my trike. Still boots spoil time.
+Arahli The Geek I also managed to fit the cement mixer and the primitive grill.
Ethan Cotton
Wait u can get fabricators in primitive +?
im gonna make this on a severver
Absolutely love the look of this build. Have been trying to get it build for about 4 total hours, and for some reason absolutely cannot get the back side foundations to be able to place. It is frustrating me immensely! Everything else goes well, but cannot get these foundations to place to save my life. Any advice?

[][][][][] x won't place, R is rudder

If you are anywhere near the shore, pull out to sea. There is an odd issue with being to close to land stopping some foundations from placing.
I'm glad liked the build! Let me know if that worked.
I had read about that in other comments, and have been building far out in deep water. Wish so badly I could figure out how to get it to work, I think your design is the most elegant, smartest build I've seen out of anyone's
hmm...Is it showing up red? Is it giving you any reason like "too far from platform" or anything like that?
Odd. So you can't even place the thatch roof when there are [B][F] and [D][J] are already placed? Honestly, if that's the case, I'd say tear it down, move a tad closer to the front of the platform and start again with all thatch to make it easy. Once that is all placed, you can easily replace the that with stone.
Yes, even with those adjacent ones placed, it's like I reached a distance limit or something because there's no reason it shouldn't snap. I'll keep trying, thank you for replying!
Camt add fondation if i add roof...
I did this and it worked for 1 ride. One the second voyage the raft pulled out from under the concrete platform.....not sure why.
Server desync. Usually if you get out of render distance it'll be fine again. If all else fails, log out and back in. My quetz bases have done that too!
Wow, wasn't expecting such a quick respond. You are absolutely correct. I re-logged once right after and it did not work, I then got butt hurt and logged for 3 hours and when I came in a bit ago it was working as intended :)
Does anyone know if this build can survive whale attacks?
Only motor boats can survive a hit it two from a whale. You can build this on a motorboat and usually you can out run them too.
Another option is to watch the ocean with the orbital camera while you are on the water. You can toss honey into the water to distract them if they get close.
@@ArahliTheGeek dude you're a legend. Thank you!
what da things u need?
How many units of each piece do I need
Do u think u could make a list of everything u need to make it?
Not sure if its too late, but I believe it is;
Stone: 2981
Wood: 2366
Fiber: 597
Thatch: 1571
HIde: 335
Flint: 16
Metal Ingots: 5
This excludes any of the material required to make need items (eg. Forge to make the metal for a smithy)
+Tom Lewis ah nice! I didn't know that's what people were looking for! Thanks Tom!!
Aralhi you can just get sniped while you are driving you should put another door in the front
+Nicholas Barra very true man. Luckily I play on PVE servers, so I'm safe.
Ok thx
The ceiling trick doesnt work anymore
why did u do double beds?, i didn't understand
+World Of Tech I always use double beds for anything mobile. If I die and have to respawn, that first bed has a cool down timer. The double beds mean that if I die again right away, I can still spawn back on the boat.
It's also useful if you are out with a tribe mate and you both die. Each of you has a bed to spawn back to.
Arahli The Geek ok
Nice nest, are you a birdman? 8-P
+Albinacers haha! Heck yeah man! Once I have a permanent base up and running, this is a great mobile work station. Takes a bit to get where you are going, but not having to worry about weight limits is great.
I have to say this is fucking beautiful you earned a sub
Alex Reid thanks man! This little guys is how I start on pretty much any server I play on. The design has been tweaked a bit each time. Glad you like the design, and welcome to the channel!
Arahli The Geek Thanks for having me glad to be here also boats helped me a lot also built a new base in redwood biome
Why doesnt the pillar trick work on mine
Are you using vanilla pillars?
Arahli The Geek
Uhhh what?
How much stuff do you need to make it?
Sorry for the delay, I had to recount the stuff on this version of the build.
7 pillars
16 stone foundations
14 thatch ceilings
12 stone walls
2 of each stone sloped wall
1 stone ceiling
2 wood ceilings
1 stone doorframe
1 reinforced door
1 wood railing
2 wood ramps
The rest is basic stuff you would put inside (i.e. smithy, fabricator, storage)
Why to beds?
+STEELZ I tend to die alot. So if I died and had to respawn, I'll probably die again getting my body!
Arahli The Geek oh thx
There is a respawn cooling time per bed so he can come back quickly again if needed.
A wale can destroy this is seconds right?
If you leave it out at sea, yep. Those pesky things weren't around when this video was released! Ah... the Golden Age of Rafts in ARK.
This doesn't work anymore on Xbox one ark, can someone help?
+ApexAero nothing should have changed in any recent patches. Are you using thatch ceilings?
Arahli The Geek yes, the pilllars just don't lower down.
+ApexAero hmm. There are other methods for that you could try. I think there is one that involves pillars and foundations. Been a while since I've done anything other then he trick I use. Are you placing the pillar at the snap point right next to the first pillar, then demolishing that first pillar before placing the next?
Arahli The Geek ok, ill try to find some other methods or try to retry ur method, thx
Spent 3-4 hours yesterday on this problem. I found that if you have the staring pillar in the raft where you started the build you can use roofs and pillars to get extra foundation to snap and stay in place.
The pillars are a bit tricky to place as they tend to go through the roof so try to move around. Drove me crazy last night.
how do u add third person on ps4 ark
+Nasir El there should be a server option for third person. I play on PC, so I'm not sure where it is.
does this still work
Does this still work?
Certainly does!
Great video! Can anybody confirm that this is possible on Xbox? I'm fairly new to the game and I don't know the limitations between PC and Xbox.
Thanks for checking out the vid Nick. It is 100% possible on Xbox!
Arahli The Geek Ok thank you!
Love it!
Be nice if you had a materials list. Good vid tho
the raft is exposed tho what if somone just attacks and kills the raft itself?
+KahnLol certainly possible. Those last few foundations could be added for protection in a PvP server. I play on PVE, and this is primarily a house boat!
nice video, but don't you think its smart to put down your settings a little bit? because it seems you are lagging a little which is quite annoying to look at ;)
Pascal De bondt that was all the recording software I was using at the time. I haven't heard any issues since I switched.
it doesn't seem to work. the last 2 foundations u placed just explode when i place it? wtf
Exploding even when there is thatch above it? Sometimes when that happens, I have to log out and back in. Give that a try.
yeah its working now cheers g
+Matt Gaston nice!
Funny story -
I hit a titanosaur so he'd chase away from my base (low level)
Ran into the ocean, where he got caught on a rock.
I'm like "problem solved"
Fast forward, he's covered in blood...turns out he was "underwater" enough to drown.
Harvested 1000's of hide and meat, and some prime. But this was like one of my first playthroughs, didn't know what to do with it all lol
That is awesome man! You need a heck of a lot of fires to cook all that meat!
Génial
