Creative buildings

[raz]

Im really very uncreative everything i build is a cube and fill my dinos in it, or just a tiny house thats it. I like to build in ark but as i said im so uncreative. So i thought maybe people could show me their bases or parts of their base (screenshoot) and i would get some ideas.
Or maybe a good youtuber so i can watch them and get more building ideas. Any suggestions?

I like building, but sadly I've only recently started taking pics of my constructions. I do have a lot of saved games backed up with bases on them, so sometime I might go back and screenshot those. But for now, these are some of the more recent projects I've been working on:

My current solo base on Ragnarok, which I call 'Fort Solitary'. A few more pics of it in my gallery if anyone's interested. With Rag being a very fantasy type landscape I wanted to build a grand castle-like structure, and found a great spot for it on a mountain in the NW.

I'm also really into the idea of mobile bases - for some reason the thought of having everything with you and being able to travel anywhere on a whim really appeals to me. With that in view, I constructed a base on a paracer platform saddle on Aberration. I'm currently breeding dinos for boss fights, and when I've done that I'm gonna redesign and rebuild this in tek.

And speaking of mobile bases, the Advanced Rafts mod is one of my favs. It's kinda like the same thing S+ is to structures, but to rafts...it just makes them so much more usable and cool. The first pic here was mainly to show off the crop glitch, but you can kinda see the galleon build in the foreground. And the second one is a very early raft design that I may come back to someday.

Check out Aaron Longstaff on Youtube. Tons of beautiful speedbuilds. Also Syntac's older videos often show off his building skills.

Playing games like Rust actually helps a lot too with base building. The building system itself is quite similar. That's where I use a lot of my own structures that I like to build.

Not my creations but some I've taken pics of over the years:

One of my favorites is this one that a guy built mixing standard pieces and the mod Castle Keeps and Forts to make:

Is that the recently remastered or old version? But still, very nice

Youtube my friend, look up not only ARK but other games with building, maybe even some shows about real world architecture and house makeovers. You dont have to copy anything you see, but take inspiration from it. This way you can build your own style. Dont be discouraged if your first structures dont turn out right either, its part of building and you will get better with every structure you make.

This is the Castle Keeps Forts that allowed the 3 tiers of building structures(ie old one did not) if I am understanding your question. Keep in mind they build this over a long while back so if there have been other changes since then that prevent that(doubtful... its always been such a good mod) then something might be different.

There also might be a need of some settings such as clipping allowed etc that might need to be enabled as it was on a super boosted server years ago that let you do that.

I didnt show pics here of the interior but the interior was even more impressive and there are pics actually of that if you sift through my pictures on my profile page.
