How to Build Drivable Rafts and Motorboats with Foundations in ARK: Survival Ascended!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2023
- My drivable raft and motorboat building method for ARK Survival Ascended just got better thanks to @intoxicatedmyself. In this building tutorial, I'll show you a cheap and simple way of lowering foundations to the lowest snap point on a raft or motorboat, so you can build on it and still drive it without using trapdoors, leaving gaps or missing foundations.

Glad to help! And glad to see the acknowledgement! And I actually didn't notice that the pillar only does that near the shore, so thank you in advance for pointing it out hahaha
You cracked the code, so you get the credit! Amazing spot that! The amount of times I did that method and never noticed that happening! 😅
Amazing work to both of u guys thanks
Took me forever to try and figure this out before the trick, thank you for figuring it out, got it first try
Ok this works so much better than the old method, actually got it working on the first try instead of failing multiple times.
Excellent! Glad you got sorted! This method is a nice little improvement and got around a patch, so I’d just ignore my previous one 😅
Oh thanks for this update, no doubt not being close enough to the shore had me scratching my head about the process when I tried to make myself a taming raft :D
No matter what they do, ARK will forever be janky. It would be nice if we didn’t need to confuse the game to get the expected results! 😂
well done mate this tutorial was really easy to follow and makes the raft much cleaner and easier to build nicely on 👍
Thank you! I'm glad you've found it useful. Enjoy building!
Dude...that is so much nicer looking and easier than the way I did it, lol. Now I am gonna change mine around to this. Thanks bunches to you and Intoxicated.
It's class you've found it helpful! And yeah, when Xbox came out my original method wasn't working, and they noticed the icon. Crazy attention to detail that! Then they patched it on PC too, so I was so glad they did! Community making good things better!
Great update! Nice work Toast.
Thank you! It's been fun figuring these things out and improving them with the community! Excited to try and find some new things now though!
Dude.. you deserve so many more subs! Love your stuff. and your game footage is absolutely CRISPY.. in the best way. Love your stuff. Ive been using a hatchway but this method looks so much better! Thanks for putting this out there!
Thanks! Appreciate the proper canny message! I'm glad you find this helpful and can make good use of it. Still working on cracking some other raft tricks from the original game, but they building has been well and truly patched!
@@toastbloke agreed.. I used to be able to build pillars below the boat.. then snap a hatch frame to them, delete the pillars and the hatch frame would just float there like it was connected. Great place to put some turrets :) But alas, now when you delete the pillar, it all goes away... that, and, well.. no hatchframes anymore since its an all in one piece with the door.
This is an excellent video. Thank you! Just a note: when trying to get the height of the pillar correct, it was much easier for me to reduce the sensitivity of my mouse to it's lowest setting. Then I would pull back until the rotation circle snapped below the raft and then very carefully moved my mouse forward, clicking the moment the blue circle snapped above the raft. I had missed the location multiple times while trying to use the keyboard. Just an option. Cheers!
Thank you! I'm glad to hear it helped, and you found a way to do it that worked for you. There's no margin for error with this, so it's definitely not the easiest trick out there!
Nice one, even better way. Thanks. Nearly 2k mate.
Thank you! We’re getting close! Crazy stuff! Can’t believe it me like 🤯
Great video as always.
Thanks! Glad I'm up to date on the fixes and patches. Time for new things now.
Still works. Great tip on the arrows being close to boat. I used mouse wheel to move it up and down. If you do not get it low enough it won't be drivable. Pick em up and try again. Its drivable once you get the right height.
Class! Glad it's treat you well! And indeed, a great little fix found by the community there! Teamwork makes the dream work!
100% works 👍 fantastic workaround, boat life is saved
Glad it helped! Boat life ftw! 🙌🏻
Awesome quick explanation
Cheers! Hope it helped 🔥
you sir are an absolute legend!
came from the last video where they patched it]
thank you so much
No problem at all. They keep patching all the fun parts of the game, so I keep having to make updates to the same tricks! Not ideal! I’m glad this helped though 🙌🏻
Have you figured out how to extend foundations beyond the raft like in ASE. Wish they'd bring that back
I've been trying... but it's not looking possible. Had a few interesting things crop up, but foundations seem set to only place on a platform or ground, not to other structures, even when you think they should!
Damn, you did it again! How are you adjusting the height of the pillar? OK, I think I got it figured. Before I click to set the pillar, I click once and move the pillar up, or down by moving the mouse forward, or backward. Now that the pillar is figured, I cannot set the foundations as low as you did. The pillar only goes so low and the ceiling part then dictates how low, or high the foundations are placed. I will play with the quarter wall a bit more. Wow, not sure why it worked this time, but it did.
Sorry for the late reply! I've had a mad few days! I'm glad you've got it figured out, but just to clarify, you raise/lower the pillar by looking up and down once you have clicked once to place. With the pillar placement, there are very narrow margins and you need to do it near the shore to get the pillar to drop below the raft, so you can raise the blue rotation icon to the perfect height. Just above the raft! Hope this helps!
@@toastbloke Nice! I didn't realize being near the shore was important, but I guess I got lucky and was in a good spot.
DUDE CLUTCH, really goood job! I know this is 7 months old, we delayed playing ASA until bugs were under control. Another thing that I cant figure out is adding doors to my walls when extended 3 ceiling tiles back from rudder foundation row? I can put walls/door frames up but no doors? Any ideas there? Ive tried ASR and placing foundations as far back as possible. Oh and why don't the pitfall traps work on some dinos anymore? Theri, trike etc. Thanks dude, great content.
Cheers! Appreciate it! The new foundations in the game have really limited raft building, so there’s a few problems I’m still looking to solve regarding foundation support. If I ever crack them, I’ll be sure to share!
With traps, the dinos have new pathfinding mechanics and ‘AI.’ I’m finding interesting things about how it works all the time, but I’ve got a trap series on my channel where I’ve designed traps that work despite the changes. I’ve got three more ready to drop too, so keep your eyes peeled! 🙌🏻
I did try the old way with a fence foundation and pillar BUT I could only lay doen 4 foundations and couldn't extend the raft anymore
You can get a 3x3 the old way, but the placement is a little different. It puts the foundations too high now though to drive the raft through them. That's why I had to come up with this. I'm just glad we can still get the old effect!
enjoying raft stuff, make a video with more raft desins for pvp and if its possible, one to defend from Leedsichthys for who wants put raft in wall border! sorry my english :) PS: normaly u see away more stone rafts, so make builds in stone :)
Thanks! Glad to hear it! I'd love to do some more designs and figure out some more tricks. Just had to catch up with all the patches they've made to the game. And yes, I only ever make stone or metal in PvP, but for examples and PvE builds, it's nice to use different materials sometimes. I'll see what I can do! 🙌
Best one yet.
Cheers! Glad it's helped!
@toastbloke I do have a question. Can u research if leeds do damage to this build if you use ad9be?
I haven't even tried. I might just hop into a fiber craft and check but... if u r still pumping out content might be worth a short vid
You said the top isn’t protected? Does damaging the invisible sail also still damage the boat?
The sail doesn’t take any damage as far as I’m aware. It’s just a visual if you choose to have it up. The top isn’t protected by the foundations as they sit just below it, but build walls and a roof over them and it’s protected by those structures 😎
Great video! I like your accent
Cheers a million. Hopefully it wasn't to hard to decipher what I was saying! 😂
How would you add another row of Fondation around?
I couldn’t find a way, sadly. I need to try again at some point, but I spent ages on it, and it wasn’t looking possible with the new structures!
Very easy, very working 😅😁
Very thanks, very nice! 🙏🏻
The only disadvantage I encounter is that you cannot enter the raft from below the water since there're foundations that are blocking the raft from below and you need to put ramps or ladders to climb it, but I find it more realistic.
I get you completely. It's nice to be able to get out of the water quickly! I always value the added protection of the raft over the underwater access though. In the last game I had a method of getting both benefits, but it doesn't seem possible in this game, which is a shame!
You can always pick up the middle foundation and replace it
It’s annoying to have to do all the time, but you’re right. 🫡
Quick, call the captain!
CAPTAIN!!! ⚓️
So you cannot use the fence foundation with a pillar anymore to sink the floor ?
You can use it, but it places the foundations above the raft and stops you from driving it, sadly. That's why I had to come up with another way.
Pity I normally use a raft to capture large dinos in evolved
How do you get you camera to do that? My doesn’t snap to the middle when I jump on my raft
Somebody else had this problem the other day. It should happen automatically. Are you on console or PC?
@@toastbloke Did you ever figure this out? I am on PC same issue.
The reason they patched it is that prior, if you build on the raft (rather then on structures of the raft), essentially there was no structure checks: as long as your reticle was on the raft rather then a structure (and clipping disabled), the game would allow it.
By placing your foundations "under" the raft you'd be able to use this trick...
My original boat build was essentially all utility structures clipped into one another surrounded by walls :p
That makes complete sense! I figured it was getting confused between the two surfaces with the random red-boxing and having to re-render things to put it right, but that explains the clipping. It was almost if things dropped off the side of the raft at points and through the walls. I didn't try on the raft on it's own to realise this! Nice spot!
how do you make the pillar drop and rise? its fixed for me on PC
Click 'fire' once to lock the position and then look up and down before clicking it again to place. This will only work when free placing the pillar though, so on the ground and platforms, otherwise it will just snap to another structure at a set position. Let me know if that helps!
@@toastbloke Excellent thanks!!!
I have no icon for rotation the piller, guessing this ha sbeen patched
Just jumped on to test and it still works, icon and all, exactly like in the video. You couldn't rotate pillars on the old game, but it's a feature of Ascended. What is happening when you set the pillar position?
As of December 9 2023 this method is working, make SURE you are using quarter wall, I was having the same problem as others but now I’m good 🎉🎉
Great stuff!
Was trying this as of last night. on offical small tribes. The foundation would only snap to the top of the quarter wall and not the bottom not allowing me to sink them. I thought i was following the process to the T. Any ideas?
PS your vids are amazing.!
playing on pc, the the planks on my raft dont have the same markings sadly even with textures maxed
i managed to get a perfect line up useing the hole in the front of the raft with the sail removed. you want the piller just barely clipping through the wooden bar going across the deck
On Ascended? That's very strange. They look the same on mine with ever low graphics. Wonder what that might be!
Great stuff in regards to your other comment too! As long as you've got the method to work, that's all that matters! Spot on!
How do you lower the pillar in Xbox?
You click once to lock it in position and then make your character look up and down to adjust the height. Should be the right joystick! Let me know if that helps!
PLEASE NOTE : This works when building near to the shore in shallow water - trying to do the same thing in deeper water and the snap of the foundation does not work correctly
Indeed! I point this out in the video and explain why, so I can't say you're wrong! 🙌
Thankyou so much It helped me in a great way!
How do you lower the pillar on Xbox?
Once you click fire, which I believe is RT, once, use you right joystick to look up to raise it and down to lower it. Just be careful not to look left or right as it will rotate the pillar.
I have the rockwell raft in my inventory but cant place it in game. Any ideas?
I might be a big BOB for asking, but what do you mean by Rockwell raft?
@@toastbloke I dunno, thats the name of the item I crafted.
Have you installed mods? I wonder if that's a mod as there's only a raft and motorboat in the base game as far as I'm aware. @@seanmillette4323
@toastbloke possibly. I'm new, playing on a friend's server, so I have no idea what mods are on there, but it makes sense that's what it is.
Great tips !! Thanks dude !
Not a problem. Appreciate you, cheers!
Ah, they fixed glitching inside things, but have they fixed the issue where lights/fires don’t turn on?
Haven't tried in a while, but not last time I checked. You know how it is with WC. Obviously, the most important things to patch are the helpful tricks... not the actual broken things in the game... like cheaters or the lights 🫠
Use orbitcam to center the piller
You can if you want to, yeah. I did for the motorboat, just wasn't needed for the raft.
Helll yeeeaahhh
Works on ps5 official as of 14 dec must of been in one of the recent updates because ive been trying since this video came out lol
On console, it's a lot harder to get the perfect height due to using a controller, so if you've got the sweet spot, well done! I'm glad you've got it working!
@toastbloke yeah it's been very strange we had weird collision issues also and the snap points were really weird works amazing now though and it looks best In metal 👍
Not letting me build inside the raft after a while
As in you can't place any structures after a period of time, or are you hitting the games structure limit?
@toastbloke sorry I just realised it was a cryofridge apparently they don't work on boats 😂
No Tek foundations?
All foundations work, yeah. They look fine too, just wouldn't usually build them on a raft or motorboat. They need to introduce something stronger. Would love an actual Tek tier raft or something, if they ever fix the exploits!
When i getvon my boat it doesn't center
It doesn't put you in the centre, it just lines you up with the boat to make things a little easier. You don't even have to do that step thanks to full alignment mode. When you dismount it will put you on the join where the mark you need is to help find it, though. Hope this helps!
@toastbloke thats what mean sorry it wont line up with boat. When i mount whatever direction im looking stays the same
@@toastbloke im on ps5 is probably the problem
Does this work on ps5?
Yes! It can be trickier to not rotate due to controller, but this currently works on all platforms. 🫡
Has this been pitched? Can do it on console.
It can be done on all platforms on official settings. Which part are you struggling with?
I do everything up to putting quarter wall down. But it does not snap on button on the wall. It keeps snapping against the ceiling or the pillar.
@@stingchargerSame happens to me as well.
Nvm, I was using the sloped wall, not the quarter. It works now.
Usually that means the pillar is too low, or maybe you’re too close to shore and a rock is getting in the way. Have another go and let me know if any of that helps.
My 1/4 walls wont go that way they just extend the ceiling in the middle 😢 lol
Could you be using the quarter ceiling by mistake? There’s both a quarter wall and ceiling piece in the game.
@toastbloke ya, I already facepalmed 2 mins after I posted the comment, lmao. It works perfectly! U rock!
@youmadxd8801 It happens! All these new pieces all grouped together can get confusing! It’s nicely done, but still not natural to me yet! 😅 Glad you got sorted 💪🏻
This isnt working on ps5
Which part are you getting stuck at?
just redid my raft using this. works amazing thank you!
Spot on! Great to hear you found it useful!
Can confrim this is not too precise to be done on controller, I did on on playstation rather easily
This is great to hear! 🔥
Patched...I can't even get a pillar to snap anymore =(
It hasn't been patched and is still working correctly.
@@toastbloke This is crazy, I made a raft and couldn't even get the pillar to turn green. Even made a video. Your response inspired me to try again and no issues the second go around. I'll delete the comment in a bit. I was hoping to cover the raft in metal foundations so a leeds couldn't destroy the raft, but it was still 2 shot when I found one.
@CantankerousOB Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. I’m happy to help when I can. I’d rather know if there is an issue so it can be fixed and comments help push the video out to more people too. ASA is so broken at the moment that weird things are happening all the time! Hard to know if it’s a glitch, patch or error. Glad it’s working now 🔥
@@toastbloke My issue was building near a no build zone. Of course I couldn't place a pillar on it lol
Are you a geordie?
I am indeed! How did you know? 😜
Not working
At what point are you getting stuck? If you let me know I'll try and help you out. It 100% still works. Just checked to make sure.
@@toastbloke sorry was my bad my pillar was wrong
@Darto_1 Not a problem! These tricks have fine margins and getting used to the new building system is tricky. Glad you worked it out 💪🏻
This doesnt work for me
What part isn’t working?
Sorry I was messing the whole pillar phase up 😅
Doesn't work no more
It does. Promise. Just got to be precise!
Finally gave up in disgust apart from the game crashing every so often I discovered after building my raft when I re-started the game parts of the raft were missing At first I thought it mite be because it was a mod raft so I went back to the original raft but it still kept on happening after that I just uninstalled the game and went back to Evolved instead untill they fix the bugs in Ascended
The game has a lot of problems that need addressing for sure. With the crashes, do you have DLSS on? Mine crashed all the time until I turned that off and it's worked for others since. With the raft structures, that is just a bug, unfortunately. The game hides them all, but if you mount and then dismount your raft it all comes back. Really strange! Enjoy ASE in the meantime, though. I hope they move quickly on fixing this instead of DLC!
I think I'll just wait untill they fix the bugs and play Evolved instead
My foundations dont sink
Do you mean on the final step they won’t place?
@@toastbloke its all good i made a human error lol
@scottishtitan3501 No problem. I’m glad you got it working! 😎
Doesnt work
It does work. I did it last night. Where are you having difficulty?
@@toastbloke Having the same issue. I have used this before without issue, but now it does not. Does not allow you to drive. Tried both regular & ASR Stone foundations. Are there any specific server settings that need to be set?
Disregard - in case anyone sees this, use the new method of watching for the blue circle to move. It's MUCH more effective for getting it right.
This get patched ? Mine picks everything up
It should work still. At what point is everything getting picked up?
