you can still vault drop just need to shoot out the ceiling not demo it

The overlapping turret range is gonna make the fight for coverage so much more fun

Thank god for structural alignment because I could never line my vaults or storages crates without them clipping through the wall

It's great to see them incorporate some of the most popular mods like S+ into the base game. Almost all of these (besides the updated physics changes) are straight from S+ and it makes me a lot less hesitant to wait for mods before building a serious base. The biggest non S+ change was putting all the various wall pieces into one blueprint and craft which was massive, to whoever designed that, than you.

No way transmitter boss fights are huge now thats a good change

Keeping the tradition of the best ark testing vids👍🏼

They should add optional hatchframes and change the model of the water intake (it looks like it should be connected to something), other than that the changes look great!

So... S+ basically, good to know, I actually loved that mod

The building looks great in ASA and the qol with building was much needed really its even comparable to conan now

Honestly vacuum compartments going to be the move I think. I was exploring the underwater for like 15mins and found a few quasi-caves and ratholes. Just have a Dino pen and teleporters on land

Wow i see such positive changes it will make the game so much better

This quality of life upgrades makes me salivate as a builder

You can have floating turrets using tek cellar doors and leaving them open

You can daisy chain the water storage. One intake to a storage to a storage to a storage. Can keep going infinitely in one direction across entire map if you wanted.

Everyone who says ASA is the same as ASE but with UE5 never played ASA.

There's plenty of QOL changes like tames won't get knocked off boats from rocks anymore

loving some of these new tricks thanks for posting :)

Great video ty just 1 think that bothers me, Im not sure what to think water pipes tho ... some maps water can be far away and having just decent passive range intake could not be enough, also looks funny when there is random intake sticking from the lake xD

You should test to see if you can float turrets on open vac compartments like ase

As a console player I appreciate this so now I have a rough idea of what to do once I can play

THE BEST CHANNEL TO ARK TIPS AND INFORMATION SO FAR

If you can powered gen close to enemy you should check if you place replicator can do you use enemys resources xd nice video ❤

YO first time seeing the partial alignment showcased. Yay, I actually get my perfect corner snaps

Thx for the video but u can vault drop if u destroy the wall that hold the ceiling where the up vault is with a weapon like tek rifle

this is just a list of great updates. glad they listened to the community about some things

Bossfight in transmitter sound so nice

gotta say. i was skeptical but these all seem pretty cool. now to get the game running more optimized.

Kinda hope pipes return in the future, if only to enhance the range of irrigation

Wow, game seems to be shaping up to be great.

You can stack beds just need to remove snapping

All the things that frustrated me about ASE have been near perfectly fixed or improved. I’m loving this so much!

Great video! Very informative!

Still can’t believe they haven’t implemented a damned right triangle foundation or ceiling piece.

I can't play this game till I update my GPU, but holy shit am I excited to get into some building. As a base bitch this is going to make my life so much easier and more enjoyable experimenting with base designs.

Wow, I really hate the generators. I got wiring and pipes down to the point where one intake and one generator would power my whole base and weren’t a mess at all. This doesn’t make any sense. Now I have to have multiple generators with multiple stacks of gasoline to power it all? Fun

The optimization and qol for building alone makes me want to try this game again, gone are the days of ladder aligning for the ocd base builders

More please. Excellent video.

Most of these are pretty dope but those spiral stairs look scuffed af

i cannot like your channel enough :)

you can stack the beds into eachother using Q

Hey Everyone. Console player here. Can’t wait too play. Just wanted to ask everyone. Enjoying the game? And Does the elevator still have a weight limit?

Fyi you can drop vaults, you just have to break the support with a tek rifle instead of how we used to do it

Kinda surprised they don't have cryo, it was an efficient way to keep dino's safe and not tax the server

Using dedi resources. What a great idea! Just worried about that 1 special tribemate crafting all on some bs.

Love the new Ark, why better, feels better.

Thanks for making this! Well done!

legit, pull direct from dedi's, no pipes, no cables thanks for the testing

As always, good information accompanied by good music.

Thank you fine sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman

I wish they could at least turn the pipes and cables into a toggle-able feature

Can we please make, that we don’t have pillars when building in vacuum compartments like why do we still see them

Do elevators snap and elevate properly though

you can still put beds inside eachother, just gotta disable snapping

Bethesda needs to take a look at structure building in ark, both ASE and ASA, and use that to help them with Starfield Outpost!!

Honestly this is a good and what needed to be

It's gonna be a very good single player game. Since no one's gonna be able to host a server. Affordably or reliably.

Can't wait to see what people build

Moonpool isnt removed its in a alternative to Vacuum press R

No flame arrows, at least until scorched Earth. ;)

You can still stack beds, idk why it wasnt letting you.

Ayooo industrial grill looks like bbq time xD

As someone who plays Singleplayer managing cables in ark always felt like a chore so im glad that was removed. But removing water pipes feels like a mistake. Creating a giant network of ziplines in aberration to build pipes to my base was one of my favourite projects. Having to build water pipes to your base came with risks of being attacked, cable management didnt it feels like a core part of arks survival gameplay has been oversimplified to me

I already have an Idea for Turret tower builds

You can put beds in each other, I’ve been doing it, you have to toggle it to no snapping mode (ASE)

Thank you this is very interesting! 💯👍

if youre laying down and crawl off an edge and fall. you still will be in the prone position. ASE forced stand up. And the new vault have a spot on top you can hide a four man tribe in (possibly) idk if your safe from damage or can shoot out of it tho

You can actually drop vaults still. You’re just doing it wrong. Pick up the wall that’s supporting that ceiling and the vault will drop

these changes alone will pull players from ark survival evolved. im just waiting for the game to be more stable and for gportal servers once the excusivity deal is done

good vid as always bro

These updates were way better than I expected. Thank you Wildcard. Also, snail games still trash btw, that will never be forgiven

Im a day one game preview player on xbox this looks amazing i love the way the building parts can now sink in with the surroundings like on dedicated. im goin to build a james bond cliff/sea base hurry up and get console launch date,

Ark: Building Explained

I cait wait to see how turrets walls will look

great video! Can you test drops next?

ASA:what the game should’ve been from the start

the goat

Quick question as I don't have the game yet, is there a way to get water from a water source to your base IF your base is too far from the source besides the water tanks?

S+ seems much better integrated now than it was for ASE. One thing I'd wish it was also added is the resources pull. I hate to grab stuff from all over my base every time I want to craft something from my inventory.

Great video 🙂🙂🙂

thank you so much

Screenshots in photo mode can be used as paintings

So I have to pay another $60 for a game I already owned and for them to actually fix all the issues that should have been in the original game? Hell no!

They still screwed us all with the new structure cap of 5500 which may be permanent due to the crossplay we never asked for or wanted.

the turrets made me go "oh-oh-hohoho no....."

Bro for rafts and platform saddles is the structure limit the same as ase?

The generator limit is stupid though. You should make a video about that.

If u place regular generator and fill it and turn it on, then place another generator on the edge of the 1st ones range but leave it empty, can you power the empty generator and get a boost to the range?

Elevator 😂 gonna be useful for deliver stego to tank high position base

Without pipes though, how does one move water long distances? Can intakes be daisy chained? Or are all large farms limited to being near natural map sources of water?

ASA building = ASE building + S+ + some other mods.

Here’s my problem, these are all QOL changes they should have added into ark years ago, but instead they bundled them all into a” New game “ just to make money

Some of these are just balance changes. Can't the server admin tweak them anyway? Like the turret range or saddle structure limit? The rest are QOL changes like the remaining time on a generator which should have been there since the start or just S+ features. I'll say this, Wildcard are better than Starfield devs. Aside from that, at least it looks better but in a pvp server you will crank that shit down for performance anyway. Imagine raiding a megatribe.

Dino hatch without a frame looks goofy. Breaks the immersion. Do foundations themselves actually stack?

All this and they still haven’t figured out what a gable is Also I am so mad you can’t stack foundations anymore Btw to stack beds inside each other disable snapping with q

Great video. Just a quick question. Do cannons still do damage to structures? Also i believe giant metal hatchframes came with scorched, or so ive seen in other comments sections

Can you please do a test on the armored walls

How do water containers work now? Do you have to chain them together to an irrigated pipe like a range extender? Do they fill up over time like in ASE? Do they fill up with rain?

what's the music at the start of the vid??

Spawn command for the small teleporter? Only seems to be spawning in the large one.

sooo can you just not grow crops now unless you are right next to water or have water tanks nearby that have access to rain? wtf are people going to do when SE comes out? or extinction?
