Bases on PvP: throw up a giant metal box in the most secluded place you can find and completely cover the thing in machine gun turrets and gross angry tentacle plants, if you're lucky it will still exist wen you wake up in the morning Bases on PvE: just build a cozy looking cottage on the beach and chill

Thatch is perfect for when you are playing around with a base design, testing out flat areas, high limitations, etc. You can build it and wait till the final design before collecting and committing to the final materials. Or for creating that beachey feel when making some shacks on Herbivore island. Yes..... I only do single player. Fuck raids and the slaughter of my babies.

I've ascended 8 times on pvp and im here and enjoying these videos ngl subbed

Tek might seem like endgame tier building blocks, but for me, metal is all the way. Tek buildings are especially weak aganist tek weaponry, and explosives might not do as much damage, but its not as expensive as metal structures.

Man it’s been yeears since I’ve seen the center map. Even in KZfaq videos

Consider making a moving base on a platform saddle

With the beds make sure you stack multiple in your base. And I’d recommend putting a bed somewhere close outside your base next to a tamed purlovia (however you spell the Dino) hidden underground to store a back up kit in case you die while being raided.

Honestly this is the best ark tips channel. Love how the survival handbook is a bunch of small, nicely edited videos that you can rewatch many times as opposed to one video with everything crammed in.. Keep doing what you're doing!

Did you know that?: In Ark, you can make charcoal in bulk in the Industrial Forge by placing wood inside it at a rate 10x the rate of a campfire. Now you know!

You forgot: you can also damage tek foudation or other house parts with titanosaur and tek rifle im not sure if you can dmg with railgun or sword

Last time I watched you, you were at 4K, I think your gonna blow up, keep up the great work dude 👍

I’m ready for ark to blow up and this man will be the supplier of knowledge

Solid content. I'm a veteran and really appreciate what you're sharing!

I’m a hardcore pvp player, so when I see stuff like this I love it. I love that people play the game like this and I hate that I’ve been playing pvp so long that I can’t play Pve anymore. So when I see stuff like this, I enjoy it so much. So thank you for this

I’m loving this game. Playing single player, started on the island. Died a lot, somehow tamed a spino that spawned near my base. Getting used to it all, did a lap around the island collecting oil and crystal from the snow regions. About to build my main base. Trying to get the story.

Awesome to see how fast you are growing, you earned it man.

I’ve been searching for short vids like these because i play on pvp fibers and can’t stop getting raided! These are a great help. You have my sub!

I didn't played ark for about 200 days and i think that your vids realy helped me out of moments of stupidness in a call with my friends

For what its worth, my first base was a raft w stone foundations. Perfect for learning, just avoid the water dino that attacks rafts and you've got a great first base that you can move as needed.

These vids are so helpful! Also your growth is insane!!! This community is amazing!!

It feels like just the other day you had 150 subs and now you are at 4k !!! I always knew this channel was going places ! Good job man keep up the amazing work !!!!

You are so underrated man! Keep up the good work

You are growing so hard and you really deserve it. It is a shame that i can never watch you live :c. But again amazing video, i have been thinking about playing pvp more so these kind of vid's are great.

Yeah like these other people I have been playing ark for a very long time and your vids are still good to watch. Very professional and enjoyable

Someone mentioned that you can do charcoal in the indy forge. But You can also do gasoline in the forge. Not only that, you can actually do all 3 at the SAME time.

im new to the game and quite enjoy yer playful attitude! keep up the great content!!

I’m so happy you got what you deserve you should get more subs (you grew so fast in the past week)

Congrats for this sudden channel growth! Your videos are really helpful, and genuinely entertaining!

Your videos are great and very useful thank you! I also enjoy your streams I should watch them more often when I'm bored!

holy shit, you have 4k!? that’s amazing man!! you deserve it. your videos are so professionally made and informative!! keep up the good work !!

You’ve doubled in size over the past week, that’s crazy! You’ve made me want to play ark again lol

I’ve never ascended on a PvP server and I’ve played this game from release. When I finish college this year that’s going to be my goal

Found this series by accident, love your patient style of explaining the basics, subbed and liked.

Nice video, ty, continue with the good work.

If you keep making vids I’ll keep watching em, as for subs, you just have to keep doing your thing

Congrats on 5k :D ur the best

This video was awesome man I really needed it! Keep up the great work 👍

Solid advice I wish I had early on, hope this helps new players!

Behind the curve and my buddy just got me hooked on ark about a month ago. Your videos have helped me be more knowledgeable about the game then him. Thanks man!!

You're doing damn great my man. I wish I had a series like this for when I started playing PC Ark.

Keep up the good work! I’m really enjoying the videos.

Just found ur channel and am so happy to see you uploaded, keep up the work, I love ur stuff so far.

I remember a few years back i was on a official pvp server and a tribe had a community greenhouse that everyone could use. Thats the only way i see a greenhouse being useful on pvp

I love these guides thx 🙏

You should make a video about dungeon, how to complete it, and what to bring, how not to die in it, and the loot you'll get after completing it

I find myself on your channel everyday, remember me in the future pt

Thatch is amazing for building traps or other builds where you have to get distances right.

Congratulations on 4k bro

Just found this channel, love it and makes me want to play ark again.

Your one of my favourite ark content creators and you only started not to long ago great job man

Nice video thanks for the help

Once again. Great info.

Thatch bases are superior. Great vid. I was intermediate and had about 60 hours. The best I could do was acquire riot armor and that is where I peaked. These vids made me exponentially better at ark.

Love ur vids man you’ll grow in no time

U need a billion subs man your vids r so in depth Lov it kept it up

Subscribed 👍🏻 your vids are great!

Hey man im a new subscriber. And i gurantee you that you will become a big youtuber. You lay out your videos well and have a great voice. Keep it up man just downloaded the game on xbox because of you

Another awesome video

An interesting guide for new and advanced players. Something that would be interesting for every skill level of players is an indepth guide/look at waht kind of bases to make. With examples and seeing as you like to compare playstels and other stuff of Ark, this would fit right in with the rest of your vids. Just some bases from, like, small, medium and big and compare their layouts, uses and how to improve, what best to avoid when building and planning. How to find good locations, what to watch out in either PvP or PvE. Maybe examples. For example: I used to build multi floor buildings but later realized that keeping everything more compact, in one place and easy to reach from a central location fits my own playstyle way more than anything else. So, yeah, giving just food for thoughts because I know creating that 8 min video took hours. Keep it up, your voice is soothing and relaxing to listen to.

On the topic of not using thatch structures, personally, I like to build a single thatch foundation, just so that I can place down my mortar and pestle and maybe also a forge.

Congratulations on 6k lmao your almost there anyway

When i play official pvp my base consists of a metal 2x1 with 2 floors and good environmental/tree coverage. I’d make another 2x1 for a fabricator close but not too close to the main base. I’ve found that if i can barely find my base then other survivors should have even more trouble finding it, i rely on coverage and prayers instead of turrets for defense

How do you manage your bases? And how many bases should you have (on the Island)? I have about 6 bases now, 2 are deserted. My 'main' base is just west of the vulcano on the grassy patch west of the small river. I have my industrial forge, chem bench and grinder there. But I also have a big base just at the entrance of Smugglers Pass, with a lvl 140something Therizino and more tames there. Should I just pick one mane base where all my tames are, or should I just hop between the two? And if, should I also built all the equipment in my second base? Thanks!

7:00 you can use an industrial forge to make charcoal it's much faster as well

i wish this video longer LOL, thanks a bunch Ptera

Yasss the next vidd!

The size of that greenhouse... Hot damn.. Crystal is so scarce in Ragnarok that after I built my grinder and other electronics I just thought fk it, it's gonna be open air garden. On the hand, that greenhouse is in extinction, where you trip over crystals all the time :D

PVE/SP thatch = scaffolding equipment ... SP mode is great for players that enjoy building. You can put bases in key locations or specialty buildings/pens that require water or whatever... pretty much anywhere without pissing off other players or getting raided. You just have to manage your resources and spawns. I like towers since easy access for your flyers and spawns are interrupted by number of foundation/pillars and the multiplier. Building up instead of out, means fewer spawn interruptions. I keep most of my dinos and my greenhouse on a plateau in the south where it's safer for them and doesn't interrupt other dino spawns. But that's just me. SP Mode has a bad spawn glitch caused by the hibernation system. I find my system allows me to go longer between dino wipes and slow down the Ark despawn effect.

i make a wood base at the start because i might not have enough time to get to stone tier in one day and also you can get narcotics faster

Love you channel helps a lot

4k!Your channel is growing super fast!

Your videos me back into Ark thank you🙏

that base in the thumnail looked like the base my tribe had before we got raided

Nice vid you need more subs I’m gonna type the link to your channel in a random crowded ark server

Oh by the way I think you should recommend using cooking pots to make charcoal.. they have much bigger inventory and I think they burn at the same speed as a camp fire

Anyone can tell me if it was a good idea to set up a metal base on some ice bridge thingy in the snow biome?

Wow, last video you've had 2k, now 5k! Crazy how fast its going.

I love that I found an ark you tuber who isn’t cringe/toxic your awesome

I can't imagine PvP will ever be for me, so I guess it's cozy thatched cottages all the way for me.

Outro gave me Goosebumps theme music vibes 🤙🏼

You need way more subs man

Who watches these type of videos but already knows everything

I wish I had these tips, when I first started on ark but we learn the hard ways

My question is water. How do you solve the problem of needing water, do you run pipes to your base? Do you place your base near water always? Just curious on how you typically deal with this

Dominate official PVP for 4+ years having never been raided once by having an underwater tech base that is super hidden. Use teleporter to get out of the tech base to transport you disposable resources bases.

So funny that you were celebrating 2k three days ago. You're growing a lot and you deserve it! Nice job!

Stone is best for pve bc of how cheap it is and how few dinos can damage. But if your paranoid go metal. Only Dino I know is arthro and titanosaur that damage it

I remember 150 subs, I’m in this for the long run. Arks getting kinda boring. Could you explain how to keep motivation to keep playing. I can’t find a group to play with on pvp, and too used to solo to make it not fun whatsoever. And pve got boring after a while. So could you help out with that? I want to continue to play but it’s just not fun. It’s only fun for about an hour or two then it gets boring . But I love the game and want tips to find new ways to make the game exiting.

Meanwhile, I'm midgame and my second base is still just a stone foundation with no walls and a bunch of boxes. I'm too busy collecting pretty argies to be bothered with walls. Or a roof. Or really anything I need

If your on pvp become friends with the alpha it helps alotttt

i make a thach base then i put in stone stuff in the same way as i did thatch as a structure

I was attacked yesterday (My first day in ark) by a Giganotosaurus, I think it's bigger than a t-rex I saw and I want to tame it. I just don't know how because I tamed a Dilo (The annoying spitty things) and I nearly died from it.

man you growing crazy fast love the content keep it up!

they say the first thousand followers is the hardest! keep it up man!

Love this series

Epic vids and streams.

Tek is also damaged by a magmasaur projectile.

I'm near loads of oil Pearl's metal but I do have to go a ways away to get crystal

The base-ics joke got me dieing 😂

Congratulations You got 5k
