Ideas for Village buildings
Hello there, I am Raikan Aideron from the ravensnest tribe on Official-EU-PVE-260.

Currently i am building Village at 16/22 in the snow. My plan was to create a good looking village (not just a "base", i dont like this word in ark). And i wanted to ask the comunity for some ideas which buildings i could add. We have a smithyhouse, a storage with dino unload Windows, a farming house and a tavern with about 10 rooms for guests, if someone needs a warm place over night or need to log out quick and dont have time to return to there own base.

Planned buildings are:
Harbor for rafts and water creatures (protected by the "Wall of live") with an elevator (nearly finished)
Dino pen ( sorted by species, to gather eggs or rent dinos.)
A few clean foundations for player owned houses, i just build the foundations like 4x6 foundations and the player who wants to have his house there can start building on this foundations.
Main street, a big "street" to travel through the village(enough space for 2 brontos and 2 mammoths)

Someone got an idea which type of building would be cool?

A big mansion at the end of the street, where you guys live!

Btw, I would love if they actually add some types of roads which would give you speed boosts :D

You talk about something like a tribe headquarter? And yeah streets would be cool. Dont blocking ressource spawns only where they are. With no block radius. Would be awesome.

Another good idea is to have a landing platform. I used to build these all the time, think of it either as a helipad, or landing strip for airplanes.

In the case of a landing strip, how I usually build it is 4 pillars of 1x1 walls in a corner of a square, while everything in between is covered in foundations so you cna actually build ceilings. Then you build the pillars up and add a ceiling.

You could also build a lighthouse, and towers around the village, behind walls. (You can build even walls by using pillars, the attatching a ceiling on top, and walls down. If the walls clip and cant go through the ground at certain spots, you fill in with wall foundations)

The helipad maybe as an bird cage with a short start and landing ramp. Good idea. Thanks. And the light house maybe a few metres in front if the Harbor. Yeah why not.

A dino brothel for breeding and hatching eggs?

Is in the dino pens included a medium sized building with 3 incubation chambers sorrounded with 14 AC each chamber and a stone dino gate (not the behemoth version) so the babies can stay inside and walk Outside at maybe 75% mature. And at one side there will be the..."happy room" for two medium sized dinos. Like stego or trike. Large dino happy room need a bit more plan. I dont want just a wall. Better looking is more important than the usefullness.

New added: Hunting cabin. Stayed nearly at the end of the village inside the wall. To hunting prey and gsthering meat.

In that case you must have one glass wall and some small rooms with a single chair each on the other side. =P
