UPDATE: It seems that the pathfinding has been changed since I made this video. The trap still works but it's much harder to get it in. Best advice I can give is don't go too far ahead of the trap, keep the rex close to you.
Can confirm this. Tried for about 20 minutes to get the Rex to go into the trap, but it just kept going around the trap instead. Tried different distances from the rex as well. Biting the feathers on my argies hind-end, and comfortably standing behind the trap waiting. Both ended with the rex going AROUND the trap.
I tried this one for the second time last night and was having trouble leading it in with the argy flying slow and close to the ground and even hovering over the trap waiting for him and it kept going around. What did finally work was having the argy walking him in. I had the argy sitting between the two little walls and the rex was chomping on my butt a few seconds and when he bumped me through he followed and got himself stuck. Both times I've used this trap it's worked perfectly once the rex is in it. Just takes a little fiddling around to get them in, but with how cheap and simple it is to set up I think that's a reasonable price to pay.
I mean I’ve been using “his” traps long before he uploaded them. “His” argy trap for ASA I came up with long before he even posted an argy trap at all in ark survival evolved
I watched the first stream you did, trying to figure out how to build a Rex trap, and I've gained a new level of appreciation for the work you do. There were soooo many solutions, but you rejected them all because they weren't simple enough, or had moving parts, or used too many different types of structures. Your commitment to simplicity and elegance is inspiring! ❤
I know this 1:44 here look short but its a long hours work and many ideas been deployed , tested. Really really appreciate your hard work. Keep it up .
Love how u strive for efficiency and convenience with your designs. Maybe it's weird to call it this but it's classy. No weird gimmicks, just pure efficiency.
I can't believe that works! I'm super impressed once again by the Fatdog genius, but in a sense I'm also disappointed that ASA hasn't given dinos a bit more realism in being able to step over a quarter wall. Doesn't mean I won't be using it though. Cheers big ears 😆🍻
Oh man, you’re the guy that invented the argy trap! I was trying to tame an argent for the longest time and got frustrated. (Not a lot of Dino’s and didn’t have any fliers.) I saw your vid and was like “no way that’ll work.” Holy shit, it’s amazing! I got my argent and didn’t have to make like an elaborate build to trap it. I love minimalist traps in ark, very nice. Thank you!
I remember subscribing to this dude because of his innovative simplistic traps in ark. And I dont play ark too. My pc cant run the old ark let alone this new asa. Good to see him still rocking new ideas to help ark community. New ark players go subscribe him, like his videos and share , help him out. 🙂
If you add 2 more quarter walls to the other two pillers, so all 4 face inwards and remove the 2 upper pillers.. you have the perfect Tickle Chicken trap.. even works for tamed ones.
captain fatdog strikes again with an incredibly simple Rex trap. I guess your traps will now be an essential for future ASA living with the new better dino pathfinding. 😁👍
geez thats brilliant, even simpler than your ase pillar trap,(that i tried to make in asa and failed) cant wait to go rex hunting again, thanks for all the work researchin these traps
amazing. saw your livestream and how you were struggling with the path finding system, now i wake up and you’ve managed to trap it using 6 pillars and some quarter walls. absolutely impressive
Aww man!!!! This is awesome... But it would have been super if I knew this magic yesterday when I spent the day farming up dino gates just to tame the 135 I found. Well, putting it aside for the future adventures!
Not sure if they changed the AI again yesterday (reverting some of the post release change they made a few days ago), but I could not lead the rex in with an argy hovering on the ground and going just high enough to clear the front two pillars. The rex would consistently walk around. I was about to give up and just start shooting it on foot (after double checking the video to make sure I built it right) when the thing lost interest in me and wandered over one side of the trap and trapped itself. Couldn't get the rex to budge from any direction once it was in the trap so the trap works flawlessly if you can get them in. I guess my advice to anyone trying and struggling is to just stick with it and hang around the trap and eventually it will wander in. I built it on the beach and it was on a slope with the front of the trap higher than the back and that didn't seem to alter its effectiveness. Happy hunting!
Trap still works! Doesn't take much effort to get the Rex's in. I use a tanky argie walking it in. Takes a few attempts, but worth it. Thank you for your content

soo um trap doesnt work anymore?@@PhantasmalChaos

@@Stephain Thanks for the feedback, it's a big help 👍
thanks @@Stephain
The man, the myth. captain fatdog you have single handedly changed how people tame. Your traps are legendary.
100000%♨
I mean I’ve been using “his” traps long before he uploaded them. “His” argy trap for ASA I came up with long before he even posted an argy trap at all in ark survival evolved
@@raynaldofchatillon7536ok
Wildcard: "Ha! We've fixed the pathing. Now their traps are worthless!"
Cpt Fatdog: "How many times do I have to teach you this lesson, old man!?"
Haha, I wish that were true, but I think they've actually reverted the pathfinding to the old system. I'm not sure if it's permanent or temporary.
Thanks for making our lives easier once again Cap your the GOAT!! I think I can speak for everyone and say we all appreciate you!
🥰
simply incredible, he always manages to surprise me with his ingenuity

Thank you very much!
Its almost like you work in IT. I see this in the best devs/engineers. Simplicity and elegance win the day@@captainfatdog
The fact that so little pieces works is astounding. Even more impressive is that you figured out this design.
My only words were, "That's ridiculous. It's so simple!" Beautiful job as always, Cap'n!
This is insane. I knew beams would be great for traps but this is just ridiculous. Great discovery by you as always!
It would be easier if the pillars snapped side-by-side like in ASE though 😆
I see pillars n walls but no beams. He used a beam system to space but picked em up.
@@captainfatdogIs there a chance that the rex glitches out?
@@whitehazegruntz250 That is just a pillar, hold down R to toggle to beam.
@@torstenunhger6609 It seems he should be able to walk right over those quarter walls with ease......but still Ark logic i guess
The mastermind of ARK is back at it again with the genius traps! 👌
I know this 1:44 here look short but its a long hours work and many ideas been deployed , tested. Really really appreciate your hard work. Keep it up .
Thank you very much!
Love how u strive for efficiency and convenience with your designs. Maybe it's weird to call it this but it's classy. No weird gimmicks, just pure efficiency.
Thanks. I used to be super focused on cost, but in more recent times I've learnt to balance that with efficiency. Glad you noticed.
Wow. So simple, yet so effective.
Now to find Rexy.
This man tamed Ark itself. Rumor has it,most creatures just go straight to sleep when he logs on.
😂
After watching the live Rex trap video, I didn't think it could be done! But you did it.... clean and simple! Great work...
You are the GOAT of traps , never seize to amaze me lol GG bro
6 pillars and 2 quarter walks 😮. Genius is found all over. Thank you sir
I can't believe that works! I'm super impressed once again by the Fatdog genius, but in a sense I'm also disappointed that ASA hasn't given dinos a bit more realism in being able to step over a quarter wall. Doesn't mean I won't be using it though. Cheers big ears 😆🍻
Got to see the early live stream of Rex trap testing. Love that you had a breakthrough!
Well they changed some things with the game since then which made it easier.
Cannot wait to see what else you come up with! Love your traps. Still need to see if the yuty trap still works or not.
I'll revisit Yuty soon
Oh man, you’re the guy that invented the argy trap! I was trying to tame an argent for the longest time and got frustrated. (Not a lot of Dino’s and didn’t have any fliers.)
I saw your vid and was like “no way that’ll work.”
Holy shit, it’s amazing! I got my argent and didn’t have to make like an elaborate build to trap it. I love minimalist traps in ark, very nice. Thank you!
thanks these are so helpful! its insane how you come up with them.
Can’t even play the game yet and I’m already sending my buddy into fits of rage with your traps. Excellent work as always 😂
Haha, thanks!
Don't buy Ascended, seriously.
Who would've guess CaptinFatDog would be the first few to figure out a Rex trap hahahaha. Gotta appreciate this man's dedication

Great stuff, looking forward to more cheap, easy but effective traps!
I have doubts in the non-flat area, but on the beach or green plain I have to admit, this is more than great!
What the hell lol.... you know... ive used sooooo many trap styles, then ultimately on foot, but... my god... so simple... you are amazing
This is next level. The amount of resources needed to build this is ridiculous compared to the 2x2 with a ramp. 👍👍👍
I was waiting for you to tell me it could be done! Excellent, as always.
If you add 2 more quarter walls to the other two pillers, so all 4 face inwards and remove the 2 upper pillers.. you have the perfect Tickle Chicken trap.. even works for tamed ones.
dude so hyped to see new content. i remember learning how to stack walls thanks to you!
my jaw dropped faster and harder than the rex did, very good job, thanks again for all these videos!
Alright now I can start my playthrough lol. Well done Cap!
Haha, thanks Chipzz
The captain strikes back! great work man, would love to see your trapping magic on a giga.
Captain Fatdog, The Ultimate Ark Survival Evolved and Ascended Trapper 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I seriously only come to this channel for traps , bros definitely goated
captain fatdog strikes again with an incredibly simple Rex trap. I guess your traps will now be an essential for future ASA living with the new better dino pathfinding. 😁👍
Capt. you are a legend and a mastermind.
Love your videos.
pure art, better than ever 🥰 next, spino please
geez thats brilliant, even simpler than your ase pillar trap,(that i tried to make in asa and failed) cant wait to go rex hunting again, thanks for all the work researchin these traps
I love how the new building system works and can’t to try it myself when I get ASA
You do make me laugh Cpt, you design such easy to make traps that work brilliantly.
Another masterpiece from the Master Trapper!
Simplicity is the highest form of perfection
Sick and cheap trap
Well done sir.
oh my god thank you, I've been taming rexes with metal bill boards with beartraps...this makes it so much easier
Captain is the man of everything Ark Traps Ggs brother
You are the best man. I never use any other traps than that of the mighty fatdog :)
Your thumbnails get me every time with the google eyes 😂🙌💗
amazing. saw your livestream and how you were struggling with the path finding system, now i wake up and you’ve managed to trap it using 6 pillars and some quarter walls. absolutely impressive
Well I didn't actually beat the system, they made some changes to the pathfinding. I'm not sure if it's just temporary though.
Quick to the point I like it, ur my go to for tame info now
Aww man!!!! This is awesome... But it would have been super if I knew this magic yesterday when I spent the day farming up dino gates just to tame the 135 I found. Well, putting it aside for the future adventures!
got a level 130 Rex in first try, thanks!! I didnt use a bird, I walked myself as close to the rex as possible and walked it in
Even the googly eyes look better in ascended.
You are absolutely incredible. Thank you.
Yes!!! Can’t wait for the rest of the tames.
You are loving the new pillar placements
Well it's the only way to snap pillars side by side now.
@@captainfatdog i am loving the new builds tho, keep up the good work
Genuinely can't wait until you do another rynio trap video
Cap doing the absolute best science
Omg you can rotate them sideways. Building is so op now. Really hope they get meshing under control
Im glad they fixed the ai because now they follow you to the trap instead of trying to walk around
Love the new rex trap ❤thank u for your time in working these out would love to see a hyena trap ❤
Cap is unstoppable with the traps.
Your trap is absolutely beautiful😭
This also work for theri’s you just need to add another column of pillars in the gaps at the side and back
you figured it out man awesome job!!!
Captain Fatdog? More like Traptain Fatdog, cause he is the master of traps. I challenge WC to make a dino he can't trap
Hahaha, thanks mate.
THAT'S WHY CAPTAIN FATDOG IS THE G.O.A.T!!! THE G.O.A.T!!!
Looking back at the ASE Rex trap, this looks INSANE! its so much simpler looking and easier to use 😂
Not sure if they changed the AI again yesterday (reverting some of the post release change they made a few days ago), but I could not lead the rex in with an argy hovering on the ground and going just high enough to clear the front two pillars.

Yeah, they did change it unfortunately.
The one above us!! You broke the matrix 😂😂😂
not even seen a rex in ASA yet. but good to see you breaking ark and saving the landscape from gate and drop traps again cap
ASA’s building is gonna make cap’s builds a lot easier lol
For traps yes, absolutely. For other stuff, it may be a bit more limiting in some ways, at least for now.
Going try this out, been needing some rexs
amazing work as always!!! please spino next!
Trap still works! Doesn't take much effort to get the Rex's in.
I use a tanky argie walking it in. Takes a few attempts, but worth it.
Thank you for your content
Love ASA's "improved dino AI"
Crazy that this is better than the ASE trap. I thought that one was the pinacle of trap building, guess i was wrong.
hot damn Captain Fatdog you've done it again!
Capt. Fatdog you genius!
The goat for traps🔥
looks so easy xD ... thank you for your traps they are a great help 👍😄
Well, that didn't take long. After your 2-hour stream the other day I know we'd have working traps before Thanksgiving for a bunch of stuff.
YAY The OGs are back 😊
The trap still works! It's more difficult to get the Rex in there but it still works! Currently taming a 75 Red and Black Male for base defense PVE
Got myself 8 rexes with this method, its kinda ridiculous how op this trap is
Awesome. You not had any issues with the pathfinding?
Beauty of simplicity 😊
Since gence posts seem to divert the path what about building some fence posts to direct them in?
It doesn't help, I've tried all that.
you are so brilliant man xD cant believe how this worked
worked for me but it was really hard to get the rex in line to enter the trap between pillars
Can’t wait for game to be released on Console simple, but effective trap. Water creatures next
Hell yeah, Cap!!
Knew you could do it bro!
The best traps in Ark tbh
Wait, rex cannot walk over 1 wall high walls??? o.0 What is the chance of this being a glitch? Absolutely Brilliant mate!
I think it's intentional, but I'm not sure.
Love you Captain Fatdog
Congrats on the 100K 🎉
Thanks!
insanely cheap , well done
그냥 이 사람은 테이밍 트랩의 신이다.
The god damn goat back at it again
CONGRATS ON 100K!
Thank you!!
