In what aspect was it hard to follow? A lot of these Ark videos were me still experimenting with the formula of how I structure videos. Even though I've pretty much got it down now (in my opinion) its still nice to know what things confused people with different formats. Thanks for the comment Gary :)
Nicely done. :-) A motorboat would alleviate the build limit issues; they have a 138 piece limit. My only grip with them is that for as expensive to build as they are, they should be stone tier and not take damage from normal dinos. They're awesome otherwise. :-)
Yep. In addition to that, they actually make sea travel viable again. Leeds can't catch a motorboat, and even if they did it would take 54 hits to destroy it.
Yeah, I haven't taken to the seas on a PvP server since they were introduced. I spent my first 3 months on Ark living on the sea, kinda sad how its now almost not viable with regular rafts
Pretty much already screwed if they're playing Ark, so many little things whilst building that just barely misalign. I'm not even OCD and it does my head in 😂
Thank you so much!!!! I managed to build it exactly like yours (Although I did have to restart halfway through because I got the first pillar placement wrong) in the end it really helped!
Awesome, well done man! I'm looking into doing some updated builds on the Motorboat, its structure capacity is much greater than the basic raft and I think some very interesting things could be done with it, so keep an eye on the channel ;)
@3:31 I see you had issue placing the roof to close off the dinogate, you skipped to finish the ceiling but I really would like to know how do you do it.
This is quite an old build now so I'm not sure if its changed, but at the time I believe I was right on the structure limit, I couldn't fit anything else into the raft, but it was in the limit
I assume you mean to extend the ceilings out from the main foundations of the raft? Rafts are very finnicky sometimes when it comes to building on them, make sure that you're a decent way away from the coast because that could be causing issues. Failing that, try to extend ceilings out around it and connect it that way. Raft building really is hugely trial and error I'm afraid, but it hasn't been removed as far as I'm aware
I have big build project I’m working on however, since it’s on a faraway part of the island I’ve had trouble efficiently carry resources and Dino’s. This will probably use as a temporary base.
I'm glad to hear it! Quetzals can be really finnicky for that sort of thing. A Motorboat base could work even better seeing as it has a larger carrying limit, I intend to try to make a build for one of those soon!
Hey man I hope you respond how did you make it where you can place more things I placed 2 storage boxes and a bed and it won’t let me place anything else
Someone else commented about this a few days ago. I've just checked, apparently the structure limit of the rafts are still 88 structures. Make sure there are no unnecessary structures placed on the raft
Eradicati0n ok thanks! I removed the window and corridor but what really sucks is that I tamed a anky for metal you know and so I tried getting him in the little Dino area he couldn’t lol so I tried moving the boat up and well let’s just say he slid in and will not move or get out lol so uh he’s stuck
@@ethanlott8246 You'll be able to get him out in time haha. Could be worse, I solo tamed a therizino just after release on official, only to have him glitch through my raft and drown 2 weeks later. I was NOT a happy chappy
Eradicati0n that sucks lol I should’ve listened to your advice at the beginning stating that it would not be the best thing ever in terms of base I’m looking for base locations now I’m prob gonna use it for Dino transport if I raise the roofs a tad bit more but it was a amazing build (even though it took a solid 5 or 6 hours cuz I’m on single player) ya gotcha yourself a new sub!
@@ethanlott8246 This is the raft me and a tribemate used to run in official alongside our house raft, though it was far from practical realistically. Thanks for subscribing! I don't really make Ark content anymore, but I do make Conan Exiles content
Hopefully you still answer to comments but I’ve been having a really hard time connecting those slopes to close off the gap in between the Dino gate and the ceiling. How did you do that!?
I do indeed still answer comments, however I cannot remember how I did that. I distinctly remember it being a pain, there was probably a good 15 minutes cut out whilst I struggled with it. At a glance, it looks like I probably removed the gate, placed the sloped sides, the roof slopes, and then replaced the gate? But I'm not 100% I'm afraid
Oh ok because I’ve been spending the last hour or so trying to figure it out. I’ve taken out the gate and tried but still nothing. I can only attach the left side witch is really weird and I know my build limit hasn’t reached yet
@@RezziV1 That is weird. I honestly have no idea, I'm just now back on Ark re-learning the building system lmao. Maybe try bringing the slope up one tile back and just levelling it out above the gate with ceilings?
Hi, i play solo on a private server on my Xbox One, and i cant do this anymore, it does not let me extend away from the raft main wood "floor", what do i do?
I've heard of this a couple of times but as far as I know, this method still works. Try to move your raft further away from the shore to ensure there is no dodgy clipping issues going on. Failing that, try to clip the floor elsewhere on the raft floor and build around like that. Finally, just remove all the foundations and start again, Ark's building is a bit glitchy at best.
I followed your steps and my raft looks exactly like yours in the video but it says there are too many structures on this platform after placing a bed and 3 large storage boxes. Can anyone help?
I'm not entirely sure to be honest with you. I don't think they changed the load capacity of rafts (as far as I've heard), my only suggestion would be to make sure you don't have any extra unnecessary items on the raft
I was gonna ask. How rare is it for a leed to destroy a boat. Like I wanna ride my boat out to sea but I’m afraid my 20+ hour build is gonna get 1 shot by a whale
I can't say how likely it is nowadays, but back after Leeds got added, even when they were super aggressive, my raft never got taken out. I guess you just have to be very unlucky
I did show how to build the raft? Unless you're talking about a certain part you don't think I explained well enough, in which case feel free to tell me & I can help you out :)
@@cerealeater7925 Ah yeah, I said "I cut away the single tile corridor next to the dinosaur gate" which basically means that rather than having that single tile corridor to the left of the gate, I instead just extended the house portion of the raft out by one tile to meet the front wall of build. I essentially removed 4 walls and replaced them with one to save on space. Hope that makes it a little bit clearer
A bit hard to follow at raft level. This would be easier if you were slightly above in God mode. The raft looks great though, I'm gonna give it my best shot.
Make sure you're not trying to lower the foundation in the middle of the raft, always do it on the edge. If you still can't get it to work, move the raft out from the shore a bit, as the shoreline itself may be stopping you. Let me know how it goes
Actually I need a high-speed mobile Dino den made of metal or Tek materials on like a brontosaurus or a flying dino with a platform saddle one where my dinos wont fall off and die i tried with my bronto and tried to transport a dodo and carbonemys with a bronto that moves fast thanks to me upping movement speed
Hey man :) Nope, this was built on a solo server with no augmentations in regards to regular build limits, so it is definitely under the 88 structure limit, though it is very close to that threshold, if I remember correctly :)
Good question. It might be able to seeing as they're long but not too tall, but I honestly couldn't tell you. I built this raft months before Griffins were released and I still have yet to play Ragnarok
With that many dinos I'd honestly say you're better with a land base. If you absolutely have to put them on a raft though, you could re-make this build on a motorboat, though if you're making a motorboat just to hold dinos, you'd still be better off with a land base. I'll be making a Motorboat build video soon :)
Yeah, land base it is I'm afraid. Brontos and other similar dinosaurs are just unfeasible to carry on a raft in any way, shape or form. I'd say just find a good position with your tribe for a land base, build it up, and your dinosaurs will be way more safe.
When I made this video, Whales weren't even in the game haha. I think they possibly could, though last time I checked spawn rates on Official servers were fairly low. Its the same type of danger as building a land base and being raided or having an angry Giga wipe it out, its just about being careful. Thanks for your comment :)
A bit difficult to follow along with the build progress because of the way you showed it but thanks anyways I'm gonna try and make this.

Thanks you for this video recently I’ve been loving raft building and have been looking for a good Dino transporter!
That pegomastax had me crying
Fuckin' Pegomastax man. Bane of my life, especially when I'm trying to build a nice little raft and its trying to tear my face off.
Eradicati0n also great video man this helped a lot with PvP
Ayy thanks man glad to hear it. Hope to see you around the channel some more!
The Gaming Fanatic lol
The day the pegomanstax learned to fly

Thank you for making this vid. I will make this as soon as I can
No problem man, happy to help!
seems like a cool idea better than the one i have on right now lol i'll give it a try and i could add or delete some stuff if it doesnt work
Just experiment, that's how I got better at building on rafts. Its surprising what you can do with the fairly low limit basic rafts offer
Wouldnt structure limit not allow you to build that much?
This is quite an old build now so I'm not sure if its changed, but at the time I believe I was right on the structure limit, I couldn't fit anything else into the raft, but it was in the limit
How do you build off the back of the raft? It doesn't let me
I assume you mean to extend the ceilings out from the main foundations of the raft? Rafts are very finnicky sometimes when it comes to building on them, make sure that you're a decent way away from the coast because that could be causing issues.

I’ll built this but fully metal and I’ll remove some ceilings so it can carry a Spino
this doesn't surpass the build limit in servers, right?
I know this is a while after this video was made but how do you put the walls down under neath the raft?
Nevermind, I figured it out
Only just seen this comment, I'm glad you worked it out because I've forgotten everything about building on Ark 😂
Loved that intro😀👍
Lmfao thanks man, I was pulling a mental blank for the longest time whilst trying to write one
Does this surpass the build limit in servers? I noticed in the past that I couldn't keep building on my raft, was wondering if this did it too?
Its been a long time since I built this, but I believe its just under or on the build limit
Hopefully you still answer to comments but I’ve been having a really hard time connecting those slopes to close off the gap in between the Dino gate and the ceiling. How did you do that!?

I just tried it and that won’t work either this is very difficult lol
Actually I think I found a way. I add the slopes on first then the gate THEN I attach the ceilings to the slopes
How much items needed
Thank you so much I wanna build it to tame so raptors and things like that
