Creative PVE Breeding Base Designs?

[FortexLortex]

I’ve been searching around the forums and reddit for an actually good breeding base design since I want to be breeding all sizes of dinos but in a nice looking base as opposed to a square box. Me and my friends are all on my own server so size isn’t a problem. Also if it helps my base is on the island. Thanks in advance 😃

Perhaps not the best pic of the breeding pens specifically as I was getting a wide shot of the courtyard, but here's the setup I currenly have in my Ragnarok base. Breeding area off on the right hand side:

Part of my mountaintop retreat I've taken to calling 'Fort Solitary'. Breeding area is in the back:

It's on top of an S+ large stone platform. The actual covered pens are used for hatching eggs, keeps all the babies together while I figure out which ones I want to keep. The area out front has a decent amount of space, and three S+ hitching posts, both for mating dinos and maturing young ones. It may not be quite what you're looking for, but I hope it gives you a bit of inspiration^^

Hi, check the videos by Aaron Longstaff on Youtube. Amazing ARK builder, with step-by-step tutorials. All his fantastic builds are totally vanilla, no mods required.

Not really sure how to post the pics but here is an older Vanilla design of mine. Breeding pens in the middle, left and right are stables with room for a utility room in the middle if you need it. Also plent of space to add a green house on top or to the sides.

That looks really great! I think from the responses I've gotten I can make a really good breeding base! Thanks guys! I'll let you know what it looks like when I've finished.

The towers ended up doubling as coups for the small fliers and non fliers. Place a thatch ceiling up one level and chuck them up there they will drop eggs down.

I mostly had bears, cats, horses and Yutys though.

a floating 20x20 glass pyramid with the 1 high floor under it full of ac units so you can toss eggs anywhere inside it? works for us
