Post your base designs

[SPIB0X]

I'm curious to see what people have managed to build so far in ARK. If you have a base that you've spent time perfecting, designing and developing please share youtube video's or photos. Give us new guys ideas on what's possible and inspire others who haven't bought the game yet to do so.

I really hope they improve the base building stuff, so many annoying little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Like Fence foundations don't snap to the same hight as your floor foundations.

The Dino/Behmonth Gateway doesn't snap to anything. they are also slightly larger than a row of foundations thereby throwing some of your designs slightly off.

I can't seem to get pillers to work as stilts.

No easy key press to rotate a schematic that you want to place (for instance if you want to place a ceiling tile where the beams run 90 degrees to the direction it wants to snap to.

Ramps do not make good sloped roofs unlike their description.

Piping and Cabling being pretty ugly/crappy - really both are designed to work on flat ground. It be nice if cables would snap to the nearest wall/floor and worked if within proximity of the generator/inlet. A bore well would be nice too as a future engram (then we could hide some of the ugly plumping)

Problems with building walls/foundations right up to a cliffs/mountains edge without having to leave gaps due to collissions.

Crop plots don't snap on to each other.

Grass showing up through your floors.

Need some decent internals but of course that costs engrams and we don't have enough as is. Would be nice to have some better beds, table, counter, computer screens etc but that's pretty minor.

No railings/half height walls - would be kinds nice when you build a wall nearly the height of your dino gateway so you don't plunge off to your death if you run to fast.

No paving, dirt road/footpath, ability to clear the grass in an area.

They should look at The Forest's building when it comes to the Wood Platforms. When u place one, u can rotate and scale it's height before u decide, to make steps or avoid them going into the ground. ARK's buildings is WAY too restricted atm to build anything cool, the coolest thing i have built is a bridge on pillars high up above a waterfall, where i store Megalodons beneath,and a Pterodon birdhouse on pillars where i park those.

Me and my buddy built this:

It's not too big, but I think it's pretty awesome ^_^

Gotta build top-down and then not remove any placed supports. You can also put regular foundations against the pillars at the bottom and as long as they snap to the pillar they will also support ceilings above them connected to the same grid.

I'd be a little scared living in wood without a wall but nice use of the terrain. Looks cozy.

its single player so i can do that without fear ^^

You forgot rotating items and how fences refuse to snap properly.
