trains would be a cool concept for mobile survival. I imagine just a bunch of tracks placed down as if abandoned and then tribes living in train cars as they travel around the map, possibly running into other train tribes
I recently bought Bob's Tall Tales, my brother and I have been very curious about the train but haven't built any tracks yet due to the massive amount of metal ingots needed to build our tek replicator. I looked up a guide out of curiosity and found this video. Thank you for the guide, it has been immensely helpful!
My whole thing on ark is "industrializing" myself. Im a veteran and tend to play with new players or always end up just trading/being the crafter guy. Time for the return of J.P Morgan. Cause im gonna make the servers im in connected to the power of INDUSTRY
This is amasing, you can place gerators walls and placable structures on the rail carts, and in a pvp setting it only takes a crossbow and a grapple to completly derail a train and rob people
You can put crop plots on a train platform and plant xplant turrets BUT... when the turrets are full grown and you drive away the plants stay suspended in the air and are no longer on the platform. The crop plots stay on the platform but not the plants.
Dude this guy has some of the worst videos for ark. I constantly ask TH-cam not to recommend this channel but it still pops up. My favorites is where he says “imagine this is the condition, this will happen” instead of JUST SHOWING IT. Dude is useless
I started my train near the center on top of one of the cliffs. You can use pillars to keep extending over the cliff to the fround or another cliff. Sand hills aren't so bad if you use pillars.
Do dinos still hunt you on the train? Does the tracks or train make you invisible to them or will dinos still hunt you like if you pass a raptor will it try and chase you? Kinda worried my hard work would be destroyed with all the predators around, but at the same time wondering if you can make a train track going in and out the wyvern egg spot to make a crazy get a way lol
Ok I tested it. The track seems to have a no-build radius similar to a foundation. Apparently these would be a great way to do "pillar spam". You can use them creatively and offensively in PVP. Pretty neat. More resilient and easier to throw away mats than tames. Cool addition to game. WAY MORE HP THAN A FOUNDATION.
I'll just wait for the modding community to do a better job of this, A for effort i guess but theres things obv that need tweaking, and wildcards not one for fixing things in a timely manner
I think the materials for the track aren’t to cheap to try to avoid people going mad with it But I doubt many will as taming and boss prepping will be priority. Looks good fun tho
officials is a place people go to be miserable and play breeding simulator.. unofficals is wher eyou go to play many diff styles of the game. get off official. its not good. random rollbacks and eventually a full wipe will occur or shutdown
Watched the animated series and the broodmother fight played out like a teach game too walk through… casually complete it with plot armour and 2000% ascendent amour
In the reveal video they showed actual train cars (meaning with walls and such). I had thought that those might be specific engrams, but it seems not. Can you put walls and ceilings on the flatbeds?
Perhaps look closer before claiming something like that, it's simply painted Frontier structures on the train, I thought it was train cars too at first till I looked closer
Hey teach .. do you think the train will work inside vacuum cube? .. my server is building a train on the island and am wondering if a under water track would work and maybe transition from underwater to the island
It’s already happening right now. The few people that have made it onto the servers are already pillaring across the map to reserve lanes for their railroad. Even worse they are getting replaced by foundations in order to make the tracks. Wiping dino spawns along the way.
Whining about spawns and building spam. Like that hasn't been a problem since day one of Ark in general. lol. Ark Ascended seems more pve to me and that's fun af
@jaystirling8717 I don't personally see people wanting to waste that amount of resources on spamming tracks. Lol I see the usual pillars being spammed over this
Can you attach the rails to another clan? Who are not in alliance. 2 different tribes able to attach to each others rails. Or you think you have to be in an alliance
Don't do cheat fly it's unfixable. The train (with upcoming 2 way split) will ALWAYS default to the right track. Stairs and doors are a no go on the platform carts, use awesome elevators for multi floors. If you want junctions? Use a two way split and keep going straight using the right track. Use the left track as your alternative track as you will have to manually switch the tracks. Most of the time you can do what needs to be done in your train base while it's moving. But lag can glitch you off. No placing structures on the train during movement. And there is all the same restrictions as normal platforms but setting don't apply to the train... the Dino platform cart? Allows turrets and overbuilding due to settings. The train doesn't take these setting into account so for now you are forced to build within the restrictions of the train. Unlimited height but not enough structures fore three floors! (Unless you are careful with railings and doors). Avoid being on ground level until you have heavy turrets you can pickup and place since you need to build a base AROUND the train to defend it... no turrets allowed. But I can add windmills? I get I'm in pvp but I play solo lol Edit: the extendable track piece doesn't work at all. You HAVE to build in the air don't even bother looking for flat land. Build ur track as straight as possible you'll be thankful. The train stops after leaving render but continues whaler re entering render. Disconnecting cart 1 while having 5 carts (max) will disconnect all carts leaving you to have to reconnect all 5 bits separately which takes at least 2-3 minutes. Sorry if I missed anything I tried to give all relevant information
If i get this there will only be a single track that goes around the outer side of the maps, i can see these making a mess without admins restricting where they go
im trying too build with these things but after a bit it keeps saying i have no foundation support. Got rails to work except the connectors they keep despawning every time I try to use them and they make no sense
The same thing happens to me, I think it's because the train tracks have one direction and the connector tries to adjust to that direction, and does not give the option to change direction
i'm kinda hoping WC develops skins for this for other maps so that it fits in. Maybe a Monorail system for Aberration & Extinction? I don't really see steam locomotives fitting in too well on those maps. it'd still be useful, tho
Train engines have a costume spot in the inventory. I think that's a good indicator they are planning on doing something with it or at least if it gets forgotten about it wouldn't be crazy for someone to make a mod for it.
Really cool idea, but....I just don't see how something like this is viable on most multiplayer servers. I'd love to build a whole rail system across the map and ferry people, but....nobody's gonna leave the tracks alone in PVP, and I wouldn't be surprised if people do their best to abuse it on PVE
The track connecter is very hard to use at first it was working fine it connected my tracks perfectly even though they weren't lined up to good and now I'm trying to connect my track again and it's lined up nearly perfectly but not it won't connect and when it does it says out of range or to sharp even though it's not it's very frustrating since I've spent the last 7 hours building a track that lops around the map and it won't connect
There's no need. If it's the same as ASE, you can simply enter a server with all engrams unlocked or go on single player and unlock them yourself through Admin Cheats. That's how I had a canoe in my inventory even though I never bought Genesis

Im disappointed that so many people are buying this expensive mod. Wildcard selling expansions to an unfinished game is nothing new. All this video did was show that this isn't worth the money.
Only 2x ways i can see these trains being viable in pvp..... 1) inside BIG cave bases where the entrance (choke point) is far from the actual base. In this sense the track could slow progress of soakers like stegos while making resource transfer easier. Hell bigger tribes may even decide to build the track to nearby resource points if they dont care about remaining hidden And 2) as a mobile base on scorched earth, move location, pick up tracks, build walls and turrets AROUND the train as a makeshift train shed then pick up base and move again. It has potential,but not for solo players like myself Dx solos will be unable to keep the resources going or even manage the time needed to keep it safe Dx
I'd love to be in wild cars board meeting. We can either optimize the game and make it playable or add a buggy train that doesn't work very well. Hmmmmm. Train it is. Not to mention any1 remember the buggy from the first ark? Lol

Here's everything you need to know about it. Don't get it. We were supposed to have Ark 2 by now. That wasn't going to work so they made ASA which was going to be free. Wait, that's not going to work. Now it's going to cost money but you get Ark 2 when it comes out. No that's not going to work. It doesn't come with Ark 2 so now the price is actually more money for something that was going to be free to begin with. Ok ready to release ASA. 100% you are going to be able to host your own servers. Well, that's not going to work so no you cannot. Ok, fine we'll allow it after a lot of complaining. Ok so now you want ASA. Go to your favorite server hosting site and get online with your friends. Nope, we can't let them do that. They have to go to just one site. Nobody else has the rights. Ok, fine. I'll go there. I'll just get a 10-slot server. Nope, can't do that. They raised the minimum slot. Ok, but the price is going to be comparable since we've been screwed from the beginning right? Nope, it's going to cost a lot more money than your old hosting site. Ok, well I guess I'm stuck. I'll get this and be good to go. Nope, you can't buy any because they're all bought. The closest server to you is Mars. Would you like to spend way more money on a server not as good as your old server? Fine, I guess I will. Do you want more than 3 FPS? Well yeah, that would be nice. Nope, not gonna happen. Ok, that's the server issue they'll get it figured out. At least the game should be fun. I mean it's just going to a new engine. There shouldn't be many bugs. Oh, you wanted no bugs. Nope, that's not gonna happen. And then what do they do? Offer DLCs for a game with all the issues above before it's even finished. Quit supporting companies like this. Why will they ever stop if people keep handing over their money? An upgrade from UE4 to UE5 has happened on a lot of the games I own. This is the only one that charges for it. It's a train in a dino game. You don't need it. Make them lose money for this crap and maybe next time they won't treat the customer like crap.
@@deving3358 Hiding shit behind a paywall that costs $30 ain't it chief. Especially when in regards to tames. Just read the description for ABERRATION "Steampunk Ascent (Q4 2024): Climb above the subterranean depths of Aberration in your own mighty customizable airships! Gear up with retro-futuristic gadgets and unravel the mysteries of this enigmatic and lethal underworld." If you play PvP and don't buy it the pack, you're putting yourself at a significant disadvantage. They said no pay for DLC, and then came up with this cringe ass, clearly last minute attempt to make players pay for it anyhow. I hope people refuse to buy or play this garbage. They either need to realize the fanbase is sick of this shit and fix it, or go under.
@@deving3358 I'm so very confused lol. I'm not sure if you agree or not. ASA is not free. This might be the only game in the world that had DLCs in an Early Access game. The same goes for the first one and this one. I just checked out the price of the little train DLC. You can call it whatever you want but it's a DLC. It's $29.99. Are you serious? 60% of the base game. Not to mention the base game is priced as high as a game not in early access. It's a money-hungry company that gives 2 sh!ts about their customers.
I have noticed they actually fixed a lot of problems with this latest update however they still have nor fixed mesh deleting you in so many places on The Island.
Hi - great video as usual, thank you very much Sir! Just out of pure curiosity - when you build something on the cart and accidentially ram something like you did in he beginnig, everything gets destroyed as well I assume? Besides that... TRAAAAAAAAAINS!
@@TravisTheSavage i wont coz it would be pretty useless from what ive seen, and good luck joining a pve server where they just spam that all over the map
Most trash thing to build in ark cant even buils a train track because ground is not flat 💀 build up sure but cant build down at some point idk if its broken or just trash
Honestly! I would have preferred the Island map with the ASE bugs removed and an optimization pass over this (although you can't MTX an optimization pass...), or the Centre map instead. That track layering is seriously jank, but I understand the difficulty of letting the player have free reign on placement being the difficult part to integrate. If the tracks were static, a Generalist Houdini artist could have projected curves and built them everywhere and working correctly in a few weeks/couple of months. Here is a question, can you layer a track on foundations? Monorail anyone :p
Thanks great video, But i have to say thee outfits look horrendous so ill not be wasting money on them. The who train thing seems way to much of a carry on to bother with just hope the maps good otherwise ill be uninstalling the game again :)
TrAiNs?! We have finally arrived at the perfect representation of how ARK has never had, and never will posses any form of game design or vision. Its gone from a Jurassic survival game -> a train hobbyist literal sandbox.
i think it's supposedly the in between between current content and tek. also there is going to be heaps more ark content i think like thematic content n whatnot.. so prob more stuff like this maybe
Not part of the Scorched Earth content. Bob's tales pack is divided over 3 maps (Scorched Earth, Aberration & Extinction) and the buggy is part of the Extinction content, while other things like the airship is part of Aberration.
I don't really understand the point of making a tutorial video if you don't know what you're talking about? Half the video is you guessing why the tracks are or are not doing what you want
Haters going to hate. Everybody is happy scorched Earth is here now and released the map on the day the said they would. Even though there were slightly delays releasing on time but they did. Much much better than their past.
Did you really say "you cannot really steer" about driving a train? xD
It also takes a second to slow down…
Lola certainly notta train expert
Hey, it's teachers game too not teachers train too
trains would be a cool concept for mobile survival. I imagine just a bunch of tracks placed down as if abandoned and then tribes living in train cars as they travel around the map, possibly running into other train tribes
“When you’re driving the train there are some features to use, you can go forwards and backwards!” Thanks teach! 🤣
hey i found out that you have to treat the rails like ceiling tiles so you have to use a pillar on the 3 rail it helps alot
I recently bought Bob's Tall Tales, my brother and I have been very curious about the train but haven't built any tracks yet due to the massive amount of metal ingots needed to build our tek replicator. I looked up a guide out of curiosity and found this video. Thank you for the guide, it has been immensely helpful!
You can spawn them in I think using commands but it’s aight if you don’t want to
Why would they not allow turrets on the train and build a mini base on it.
turret rafts were once op
If they really allowed turrets on trains imagine how pro would be by now
So its not p2w
I can place turrets just fine I just had to place a ceiling tile first
My whole thing on ark is "industrializing" myself. Im a veteran and tend to play with new players or always end up just trading/being the crafter guy.

There's no thought process during a cluster duck
Its probably a good idea to build the track in the air using pillars, that way you can keep it straight.
You can put crop plots on a train platform and plant xplant turrets BUT... when the turrets are full grown and you drive away the plants stay suspended in the air and are no longer on the platform. The crop plots stay on the platform but not the plants.

Does not work on The Island Map, I just tried to spawn them in and some floating texts pops up that says its not allowed on that map.

Ok, but the price is going to be comparable since we've been screwed from the beginning right? Nope, it's going to cost a lot more money than your old hosting site. Ok, well I guess I'm stuck. I'll get this and be good to go. Nope, you can't buy any because they're all bought. The closest server to you is Mars. Would you like to spend way more money on a server not as good as your old server? Fine, I guess I will. Do you want more than 3 FPS? Well yeah, that would be nice. Nope, not gonna happen. Ok, that's the server issue they'll get it figured out. At least the game should be fun. I mean it's just going to a new engine. There shouldn't be many bugs. Oh, you wanted no bugs. Nope, that's not gonna happen.
And then what do they do? Offer DLCs for a game with all the issues above before it's even finished. Quit supporting companies like this. Why will they ever stop if people keep handing over their money? An upgrade from UE4 to UE5 has happened on a lot of the games I own. This is the only one that charges for it. It's a train in a dino game. You don't need it. Make them lose money for this crap and maybe next time they won't treat the customer like crap.
Asa is free and so are the dlc. Anything you pay for wasn't in the previous game. Just find a diffent game instead of doing whatever this is😭
@@deving3358 Hiding shit behind a paywall that costs $30 ain't it chief. Especially when in regards to tames.
Just read the description for ABERRATION "Steampunk Ascent (Q4 2024): Climb above the subterranean depths of Aberration in your own mighty customizable airships! Gear up with retro-futuristic gadgets and unravel the mysteries of this enigmatic and lethal underworld."
If you play PvP and don't buy it the pack, you're putting yourself at a significant disadvantage. They said no pay for DLC, and then came up with this cringe ass, clearly last minute attempt to make players pay for it anyhow.
I hope people refuse to buy or play this garbage. They either need to realize the fanbase is sick of this shit and fix it, or go under.
@@deving3358 I'm so very confused lol. I'm not sure if you agree or not. ASA is not free. This might be the only game in the world that had DLCs in an Early Access game. The same goes for the first one and this one. I just checked out the price of the little train DLC. You can call it whatever you want but it's a DLC. It's $29.99. Are you serious? 60% of the base game. Not to mention the base game is priced as high as a game not in early access. It's a money-hungry company that gives 2 sh!ts about their customers.
@@ScottM436 then stop playing
I have noticed they actually fixed a lot of problems with this latest update however they still have nor fixed mesh deleting you in so many places on The Island.
I jusr dont see the point of trains in ark like yeah it looks neat but i can never see myself really using them especially in pvp
Only thing i can think of using this for pvp wise, maybe building a track along your base perimeter and building a mobile velo wall
Ridiculous to pay an extra $40 for this when they said initially no one has to pay for new content.
I can’t even connect the rails haha
Hi - great video as usual, thank you very much Sir! Just out of pure curiosity - when you build something on the cart and accidentially ram something like you did in he beginnig, everything gets destroyed as well I assume? Besides that... TRAAAAAAAAAINS!
For the algorithm!
it takes practice. we had this on ase
side note the trains move in the direction of the arrow. you cant connect two arrows facing each other.
the train tracks will get spammed everywhere in PVE and in pvp is useless when ppl can just destroy them whats the point no point
So then don't use them in pvp.
@@TravisTheSavage i wont coz it would be pretty useless from what ive seen, and good luck joining a pve server where they just spam that all over the map
Private servers exist
@@SkaldHaven yeah and for that there are mods
Not seeing the argument here.
This will be way too expensive to build and way too easy to destroy.
Most trash thing to build in ark cant even buils a train track because ground is not flat 💀 build up sure but cant build down at some point idk if its broken or just trash
Why raiding we have war in the world and other problems so try pve and help much more fun
Going to be a shit show on official servers
Honestly! I would have preferred the Island map with the ASE bugs removed and an optimization pass over this (although you can't MTX an optimization pass...), or the Centre map instead. That track layering is seriously jank, but I understand the difficulty of letting the player have free reign on placement being the difficult part to integrate. If the tracks were static, a Generalist Houdini artist could have projected curves and built them everywhere and working correctly in a few weeks/couple of months.
Here is a question, can you layer a track on foundations? Monorail anyone :p
Yea you can working on a track that circles the island, so far have swamps all the way to carno island covered
Cant get the track connectors to work. I'm not too far, or too curved. It just doesnt want to work. It doesn't "just work". It's WC trash.
What is it used for?
Exactly
A new shiny way to block places to build
Thanks great video, But i have to say thee outfits look horrendous so ill not be wasting money on them. The who train thing seems way to much of a carry on to bother with just hope the maps good otherwise ill be uninstalling the game again :)
Just uninstall it already, what's with empty threats lol
ok thanks for your advice @@edg1226 🤡
This stuff is why I'm coming back.
@@edg1226their spoiled brats who think of they throw a tantrum they will get their way and keep the game unplayable
TrAiNs?! We have finally arrived at the perfect representation of how ARK has never had, and never will posses any form of game design or vision. Its gone from a Jurassic survival game -> a train hobbyist literal sandbox.
One word: primitive
i think it's supposedly the in between between current content and tek. also there is going to be heaps more ark content i think like thematic content n whatnot.. so prob more stuff like this maybe
These trains have absolutely no place being on official servers. Zero
I said single player only
At the moment I have got many problems with mobile bases, I love trains but I do not trust the developer, for now I will not buy the pack 😂😂
That's on you broke kid
Pointless in any mode when everything is pillered
Where’s doom boogie
Not part of the Scorched Earth content. Bob's tales pack is divided over 3 maps (Scorched Earth, Aberration & Extinction) and the buggy is part of the Extinction content, while other things like the airship is part of Aberration.
I don't really understand the point of making a tutorial video if you don't know what you're talking about? Half the video is you guessing why the tracks are or are not doing what you want
this seems so stupid for game like ark.....
at this point imo wildcard not even tryin to stay out of bankrupt. they just going head first
Haters going to hate. Everybody is happy scorched Earth is here now and released the map on the day the said they would. Even though there were slightly delays releasing on time but they did. Much much better than their past.
Everyone thinks their opinion matters smh
Can i put turrets on it lol
@LisaNormandin no way I could of commented before seeing that right?
@LisaNormandin what's normal?
You should have ended the video smashing one train into another!
Everybody talking about Griefin yall toxic asf
