It looks good, but with the sides of the motor boat exposed this can be destroyed easily while bypassing all the armoring of the metal foundations by just aiming shots at the waterline or attacking from below. You would want to make the base three foundations across to completely enclose the boat as well as lower the foundations deep enough to clip through the bottom of the hull so the foundations take the damage rather than the boat. Lowering the foundations that far would also allow you to access the boat to drive it from inside the enclosed cabin, although this will also mean you'll need to add a ramp on your door as you can't access the boat from the outside to get yourself out of the water. To get the best coverage for a three-wide foundation platform, you'll want to be driving the boat and place a pillar down as far forward as you can in that box in the center of the bow (where the sail would be on a raft) then place a foundation snapped to that pillar as low as you can (with the new Ascended mechanics for foundation heights you shouldn't need to use the pillar-foundation-pillar-foundation trick to glitch down the height of the foundations to where you want anymore) a 3x3 grid should cover the entire boat and you can build up from there. And another thing, those ends of yours are definitely going for form over function, I was shuddering thinking of how many building pieces you were wasting with all those triangle ceilings. I'd also have centered the minigun turret, but that's just my sense of aesthetics rather than practicality on that score. So yeah, looks pretty but all it would take is a couple lucky rocket strikes or a couple c4s planted on the underside to blow this thing right out from under you. Should do fine for PvE, but PvP not so much.
wow. That’s a massive text wall of whining. It’s just a cool looking build. He’s so so obviously going for form over function otherwise you just build a box.
@@iCore7Gaming you’re all taking it far too seriously. He made a beach house out of wood and was making comments about having windows to shoot attackers out of. Not everyone is a sweaty pvp player that takes it all super seriously. (I’m not saying that’s bad, I mainly play pvp myself) tons of people RP ark and this boat would fit in there much more than an ugly box that is built for pure function. Plus as a pvp player you should know that a boat ain’t standing up to anyone who wants to get into it, just ride another raft up to it and open the door and place c4. . He’s crying about a couple of lucky rockets taking it out, which is dumb. It’s got 35k hp, plus when the rocket jump glitch is fixed the turrets would take the rockets out and if someone’s getting close enough to c4 it then they’re not wasting time taking out the boat, you’re popping a wall and walking in. Dedi bobs are hilarious.
Dude, hell yeah this is dope, I'm so stoked to keep seeing what build you come out with, loving this series, please don't stop these, also maybe small rathole or cave build ideas!!!?
So, unfortunately, on PS5, you CANNOT build this boat like he does. The game will not allow you to overlap pieces. I almost want to show people what I did because I think it looks good. I also understand why he made it the size he did. I tried to make it 3 wide so it covers the raft. It just won't work.
Thank you for posting this video 🎥🍿🥤. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 🎉 work. I play this on my tablet 📟🕹️. In my game I don’t have any triangles ceiling. But when I get an Xbox version. I’m sure I will have a better version 😃🤣😂🥲🙃🍕🍺..
Hiii!! I loved this design so I'm trying to build it, but is it modded or something? I play official, and can't find the way to snap overlapping the triangle roofs like you did on 4:08 :(
Wait so you don’t want to change the ini for platform build multiplier but you had to change the platform turret restriction to place auto turrets on boats… Also light sources don’t work on moving objects asides personal torches.
Hey not bad for an official settings warboat! It's always good to see another shipwright in Ark! Looking forward to seeing the big ship you're working on! Subbed!
Nice use of the new beams in ASA.. But he’s a PVE player for sure.. If you’re allowed to even add turrets on official, I would extend the beams at the bottom and place the turrets there. And instead of the mini gun add the rocket turret.
Awesome video, love the design. The way you just ploppeded down that mounted minigun all unaligned AND DIDNT BOTHER TO CORRECT IT was real hard to watch mate. You even did a slowmo-closeup shots of it glitching through the railing, this is 100% deliberate.
I like the design but if it's for PVP you need to protect the boat itself. If I was attacking it, I would fire rockets for the pontoon sides and just destroy the whole raft rather than try to raid it. Against dinos it would be fine but not other players so much. If you intend to use it for PVP you should test it to see if they still block C4 from being attached to the boat directly as this may have changed and the entire bottom is susceptible to have C4 placed if they didn't carry this through from ASE. Also, another way to destroy it completely is to make a raft with a protected corridor of wood with a seat. You have 1 guy sit in the seat loaded with C4 and drive him right through the wall of the enemy raft. He can hop off inside, place C4 on any stations inside and hop back in the seat and mesh back out. 1 Click and the boat is dead. With no LOS to the guy in the seat, the turrets won't even fire.
@@ArkLord001 Tactics like this are exactly why I don't build my boats on anarchy or official pvp servers. A good Ark boat battle needs to be slightly organized by both sides with some agreed-upon rules and an admin referee.
This is really cool. I think I'll copy it. But at the back instead of having it pointed, I'll have it sloped out but flat. That'll save about 8 pieces and keep the back a bit more different to the front.
I'm seeing you place the metal pillars sideways and it's just not working for me. Kinda bummed. However it has been a long time since I've played ark so I'm probably forgetting a mechanic to building.
I was always disappointed with the lack of upsidedown triangle walls in ASE. I think the only thing that gets me is my ocd wouldn't allow me to have turrets off centre. Other than that I love the design. Small, compact and functional. One question though. How does it cope with that blasted raft killer?
Unfortunately this build doesn't appear to work on official as structure collision prevents you from placing the metal triangle roofs at the front of the boat :(
Sadly was fixed in a recent patch but if you check my Bunker Base video, I show you how to still clip on official - ua-cam.com/video/J7_10L_2m18/v-deo.htmlsi=ePVj2Xt9U-bc96zk
This is awesome! One potential improvement: I think you can "hold Q" to stop the turrets from snapping to the middle of the foundations, which will allow you to put the minigun and the auto turrets in a better-centered location (especially the one on the back, you can place it near that gap to close it off). It's unfortunate about the z-fighting in a few areas, but I don't think that can be avoided.
In my opinion, it isn't worth it just yet, you can google the ini changes if you want to, but it will make the game highly unstable atm due to how many issues the game currently has with crashing, so use at your own risk.... But, it does allow for massive ships, as you saw in this video :D
I mean this looks sick but rafts are completely unusable in the current state of ASA and i don't see it being fixed because for 8 years ASE had the same problem. anyone can just mesh your raft with another raft and steal everything. They need to fix it but doubt it will be. These raft builds are the reason i bought the game but dissapointed that its still an issue.. to compensate for how useless rafts are they should triple the structure limit on rafts, theres no reason it needs to be so small you can hardly make anything good.
If i start playign ARK how long would it take me before i can start building these type of ships? before watching this i always thought ARK was some beast taming pvp game. didn't even know u could build in it.
Tinkering like this in ASE was what inspired the development of Atlas originally. And until they slowly ruined it, it was a far better game than Ark. Lots of fun. Someday hopefully there will be a successor to the pirate survival concept.
I came back online and my motorboat was half destroyed. Nothing there. In a save place. With turrets on. And was destroyed. Single player. Got mod for better metal and still damage. So I recommend the game metal. We’ll see
I have a raft design that is great for resource gathering and pvp or defense. Is a 3x7 layout. Using hatch frames on the roof to attach auto turrets to so that cover all blind spots well. I've used my design to take down the typical shadowmamain raiders. With effective results. If you glitch build foundations into the raft C4 can not be attached directly to the raft.
Your raft is cool. Not a great pvp raft. If you add hatch frames to the roof put your turrets on those. Now I'm not sure if hatch frames are still a thing in ASA if not then SUCKY
the biggest issues with these builts is that you can not really drive good. Because you can hardly see. what this game desperatly needs is a placeable steering console but of course they did not fix that - again.
Its always so fun to see the pve players bring their builds to pvp thinking its actually a viable build xD I do really love the build tho its super creative!

Nice video and boats dude! Can you say something about your experienceses about the Leedsichthys? Can those things deal damage on a motor boat?
Yeah they can destroy the boat
3 auto turrets? so your "warship" is not as powerful as a single heavy turret?
Build completly not suited for PVP. All you can raid with it, is offline thatch base. Although i think you'll be raided even before this.

U no the Leeds will destroy ur boat in 2 bites aye? U can’t live out at sea in a huge boat.
Only land dwellers think that way! :D
On the big ship you teased? What settings did you change to make it so large? Mine says that it's too far away from the platform.
I didn't even know this was possible in ARK

@@xSuperDooMx on friendly servers perhaps but the point of PVP is usually to raid others and take their loot (Or simply to wipe them off the map)
mine keeps being obstructed
How do i turn off structure collision, wouldn't let me build it like he did
Same here panel crossing does not work for me. Perhaps they changed it in an update
I'd love to see an early game stone/wood raft build. I tried this with stone on our server and ran out of structures at the back of the railings...
Built one for myself and the whole tribe wanted one each. They will be used and cherished well. Thanks for this
what happen if the whale catches you in the open sea? It can be destroy the boat?
I think yeah this Thing is beast
This is really cool. I think I'll copy it. But at the back instead of having it pointed, I'll have it sloped out but flat. That'll save about 8 pieces and keep the back a bit more different to the front.
The build limit on motorboats in ASE is 135 pieces without modification. Is the build limit in ASA the same as it was in ASE or has it been improved?
Love this build!!! Cant lie tho when you placed the big turret it made my OCD go haywire!! Great video!!!
Great pve base for water taming

Does th ini files thing only work for single player as i play a unofficial server and wouldn't mind trying this
I subbed for the warship teaser, I've never played ark but those boats look sick.
I have an even better design, but I can't make it in asa, because wildcard removed extending raft foundations in this 😊
I've built exactly how you did and I love it but I seem to not be able to get my auto turrets to snap
la verdad...no le veo ninguna diferencia con el ark comun, los graficos son iguales, es todo igual
this is terrible for pvp LOL.
They still can't fix Dino collision and clipping.....trash
great until they swim under, plant a c4, and bust your entire base without turret protecting
Someone has already come up with something to be hella annoying like in the last game with raft homes
cant place turrets on the boat in ascended i've noticed so idk how this is possible
How do you keep it from being destoryed though cant find a mod to not have your boat not be destroyed lol
How do you make it so you can like get pieces so they can clip with each other
Put the turrets UNDER the boat. Can u attach them under the boat and can they attack the Leeds?
And then it gets glitched into by a 2x2 wooden structure raft and raided
If I don't wanna use ceilings, can foundations still be used?
This is awesome!

It looks so good! Can you do a resource gathering one that looks good ?
I can and I will! Just for you Ryan! Goy my Tree House Village to do first though, which is dropping tomorrow ;)
hehe that looks amazing!
All you need to do now is find that Leedsithius… And hunt him down👍
Can this be built on official servers?
Sunk foundations with this idea would be good for PvP but look kool for pve for sure
It doesn't work in survival mode
I build this years ago to
Fight trolls.
does the leedsychtis fish still destroy motorboats?

I was kinda hoping to see it in action.
And has the official snap point number gone down? My build is roughly 116 snap items including 8 auto turrets and two X plants
NICE BUILD but ez to blast as the autos are very los from under i would recommend the sticking to the sides
Its always so fun to see the pve players bring their builds to pvp thinking its actually a viable build xD
I do really love the build tho its super creative!
Wont survive a Leedsichthys though. Stay away from the deep oceans. Just sayin'.
A Pocket Warship...
love it wanna try build my own version aswell. how hrs of solo farming for mats for do you redkin?^
New Following from me
Bro this is awesome you are a mad genius thank you droped you a sub and like keep the vids comming 100
My tribe and I use a central boat with everything equipped and two other square boats to defend the left and right.
In ark ase i built war boats that stretched to the sky ceiling with a huge swarm of megs all following some tame on it keeping it nice and safe
I had a cool idea while watching this. What if you added a tek force field in an unused spot on the ship? Think about it 🤯
Sent this to my boyfriend he wanted to build a metal ship and this looked so cool!
Someone make it on a pvp server !!
could you make a tutorial for how to change the server settings to allow the massive raft builds?
That is an awesome build dude.
Is this possible on official?
anyone have the raw resource cost for everything including building pieces on the motorboat?
Can you build this on console official? Or u need to activate overlapping
Could you completely dome off the whole thing and put cameras on the outside?
How well does metal motorboat base hold up against the moby dick water creature ?
I did this on a raft with wood and it came out perfect for a fishing base lol that and everyone wants one now lol
You have not been on many boats? the gap in the front deck railing is realistic.
What settings do I need to change on the .ini to get a bigger build? I can’t figure it out. pc steam
Nice build. If you used a hatch frame under the mini gun couldn't you access it from inside the boat?
On PC, it might let you, but consoles will not
In Evolved I built a gunboat and we hunted Leeds with it and even took out an Alpha Leeds
Ah this guy is a fan of Jeremy Clarksons Vietnam boat I see. 😂
I wish you could put air locks on the mosasaur platform...
Leedsichthys likes that...
