How to build housing on Stilts

[How2doit]

I was wondering how to build things on stilts in ark, I have seen people build these houses over water and i would love to do that but i cannot figure out how to do so, I have tried snapping platforms on to wooden poles but it doesn't work i've tried to go from the beach into the deep water and I can't get far i've tried a combination of the first two methods still won't work, and i've looked it up no results can someone help?

One more thing i'm looking for metal i have mostly hide armour expect for chestplate that is chitin where should i go for metal?

You need hide, and at least one argo bird. fly to the tops of mountains and use a pickax on the shiney rocks. we have found that is the BEST place for metal. better than ocean. if you up the
weight you can get 200- 400 in one flight.

Look for mountains, like the Red Obelisk and th Volcano in the Center of the Island.

I always use 2 mounts 1 that can handle me fully loaded plus saddle and not be slowed to a crawl and one pack animal (flier).

Yeah. we usually try to keep several if not 5 argo birds as pack mules and just load them up in one go. you can get 2k ore and smelt it in a bunch of refinerys. However the argos suck at keeping long term. several spinos and a rex come along and eat them multiple times till we started building a mob of dinos...

anyone else have problems keeping their argos alive?

[How2doit]

I don't have argo birds can i do it with a trike and a ancalo and won't i be indanger of death?

[jexadox]

mountains and inland are supposed to be super dangerous.
its worth the ability to fly away.


mountains have a lot of saborcats, they often run in packs. also mamoths. that and the argos all naturally agro on you. so.... i wouldn't recomend it w/o at least something big to defend you. i prefer a rex when i going by land. lol.

[How2doit]

Well i'm playing single player so i can't get a rex very easily i'll find a Agro bird
where can i find one

[jexadox]

its easier to upgrade from dino to dino
so first: dilo or dodo
then: trike for easy berries, parasaur, turtle


then start going more dangerous: raptor, argentavis, ect.
or find a big dino stuck on a tree.

then move on to more dangerous stuff, like trex, mammoth, sabors, ect.



ways around this are to kite dangerous dinos and shoot them repeatedly, climb a rock they cant, shoot from above them (cliff or air).



also kibble makes a difference for taming time and lvls

[How2doit]

I have been doing that right now the most dangurus thing i have tamed is either the Argentavis. or trike, and i went a while ago aon a mission up the mountian and came back with about 400 metal ore

Question: has anyone tried this
such as bridge or scructure on a deep river, building the building above the serface of the water. you need foundation/pillars built to the floor.
has anyone tried building cieling tiles under the water along the floor under where the bridge will be (snapped together somewhere) but not pillers in the middle/top?


like this

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
= =
* = =
^^^ = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
^^^^^^^ = ^^^ = ^^^ =

_ celing
= support
^ groung


* Water lvl
(same design copied for other side of the river bank)



so there would be a lot of space in the middle but it still senses the pillers below water?

I know if you build a giant building w/4 walls the cieling has no problem stapping no matter how big it is, or at least i haven't had trouble at 7x7 or 8x8



Did i describe it good?

Yes that works

[jexadox]

awesome. I have pix on my profile for the one side. i'm gonna start putting the pillers just underwater, most bridges look like that anyway, supports more towards the banks and then a main one in the middle. i might even try to snap 2x2 pillers so its wider. but that would be difficult, they have such a far snapping point and "obstructed" field.

[How2doit]

I got it all figured out and my house is comming along swimmingly.

[jexadox]

put pix up soon!
