Community Crunch Contests!

Hey everyone!

We're still collecting entries for both #ARKitect and #ARKArt contests this week! If you'd like to enter, be sure to share your screenshots here!

For those who aren't aware what these contests are all about, here's a snippet from one of our previous crunches:

Community Contests!

Every week for the foreseeable future we’ll be hosting two contests for our Community Crunch.

ARKitect

The first contest is for the #ARKitect award. This is a title given to the Survivor who has created, in our eyes, the best base for the week. Survivors will need to upload their screenshots to the Community Hub, both the Artwork or Screenshot section will suffice and then post them in the designated thread, it’s also possible that we’ll see the screenshots in the hub but posting them in the thread will ensure that they’ll be spotted!

We’ll be judging the bases not on the quality of the screenshot, but on the unique designs, functionality, and the use of in-game tools available to you! At the end of each week, the screenshot for the best base will be featured in our #ARKitect section of the Community Crunch and will be awarded a cash prize of 200$!

If you’re unable to take a high quality screenshot, do not fret! Just upload the screenshots you can take and your world savefile to google drive or an alternative site, post it on the thread, alongside the coordinates for the base and we’ll have a look ourselves :)! If you’ve made the base on an Official Server, just let me know the location and whichever server it is and I’ll go grab the shots for you.

You can find the world savefile in the following folder:

or below if it’s a local game

We don’t care where you build the base, whether it’s Official, Unofficial, or Local Play! We just want to see what our budding arkitects can come up with and for those wondering, the same survivor can be an arkitect more than once however we will slightly weigh our decision against repeat winners just to spread the fun around, though if it's overwhelmingly awesome for a repeat winner, we'll bow to it!

#ARKArt

The second contest which will take place is for the #ARKArt award! This is a title given to the Survivor who has created, in our eyes, the best piece of art for that week using our new Per-Pixel painting system! Similarly to #ARKitect, Survivors will need to upload their masterpiece to the Community Hub, both the Artwork or Screenshot section will suffice and then also post them in the designated thread, it’s also possible that we’ll see the screenshots in the hub but posting them in the thread will ensure that they’ll be spotted!

As always, the artwork is not being judged on the quality of the screenshot or the graphical settings used, but instead what you have managed to draw and produce using the new painting system. For this contest we will have to disqualify any work that uses another company’s IP and or those pieces which are generally considered to be offensive or obscene!

At the end of each week (This will run from Thursday to Thursday), a winner will be selected and featured in our Community Crunch and will be awarded a cash prize of 50$! If you’re unable to take a high quality screenshot for the feature, do not fret! Just upload the screenshots you can take and your world savefile to google drive or an alternative site, post it on the thread, alongside the coordinates for the artwork and we’ll have a look ourselves :)! If you’ve made the base on an Official Server, just let me know the location and whichever server it is and I’ll go grab the shots for you.

You can find the world savefile in the following folder:

or below if it’s a local game

Once again, we don’t mind where you create the artwork, just want to ensure that if you’re unable to showcase it, we can for you!

Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see what you've got to share :)

--

We'll also be accepting entries for the newly introduced: Warpaint images, human and dino tattoos/bodyart for the #ARKArt award as well as bases both on your Dinos and Rafts for #ARKitect! Can’t wait to see the platform bases, the ships and tattoos/bodyart! Would be awesome to see some new bases in the new biomes too :D!

Second attempt at CC with my base. The first time i rushed the pics and the base wasnt ready to be shown but i figured why not. I designed my base to be different than anything Ive seen so far in Ark. I really wanted to go wall less and make it feel more open and welcoming but the new Giganot forces me to put up a metal wall. So I built it in style. Each of the houses are a small base in each of there owne with crafting studios kitches sleeping quartes and storage. there are 4 dino pens for variouos creatures. The aviary for small flyers a barn for the small work dinos "anky and doeds mainly. A stable for wolves and elk. below that is a Hachery with AC's to breed all my new dinos. On the ledge below is the behemoth barn for the rexes and Spinos. They have access to the upper lvl by way of a duel lvl elevator system. Im still a little scared to bring my gigos down there " dont wanna accidentally fall. The garden is has 16 plots for growing various veggies and hopefully we get some new ones to grow soon.
The walls I think turned out great for being metal. PLacing a single pillar up and branching the ceilings out while dropping the other pillars kept it even. I ran Fence foundations along the bottom and raised the railings up to the top to get a nice see through wall that cant be harmed by the giganoto.
Security I run about 32 plant x turrets surrounding the base locations this keeps most wild dinos out and honest people honest. On patrol there are 2 Giagantopithicus with 4 Highly speced Dimo's all boosted with hp melee and speed. They shred anything that gets past the plants.

Our sourthern compound.

There are more buildings there but it was night time and I suck at flying. Have a tendancy to hit the "Eject" button at 2000 feet and forget i have a parachute. The Behemoth pen is just a big box at the moment and the dino storage pen took a hit from trees and needs severe reconstruction. I swear the reset of the forest literaly tore my place apart, lost half our dinos to oak trees. Treants are real and pay you back for all the charcoal you make.......

To the person above that said they had no chance on an official server with no mods, I have to point out that just last week someone won the prize with a simple wall of 50 or so wooden walls painted to look like the boy from Fallout.

I have been building on Herbivore Island for just about three months now and I am finally ready to share the progress. Yes I am on a private server, no PvP, 12 or so mods and I am an admin so no I am not farming mats, however, this contest isn't about size, it is about creativity and making use of what is available.

Server name is PVE Builder's ARK

So without more jibber-jabber, on to the pics.

That was me.
50? u better count again ;)

Anyways, i am glad devs finally seems to have an eye for creativity... instead of just let big baddass castles (mostly made with "cheatet" resources) win this over and over and over again.
If u ask me, we have seen enough castles for now.
