As a former Ark player, I can confirm I mix materials up and I even get feed back on my builds. I finished my first base in Conan a week ago. Nothing very grand,but definitely not a wooden box. I combined Norse architecture(If you have played Skyrim and seen Jorvaskkr(Companions HQ) then you know what that is)with Persian materials in the jungle,and I got to say as a noob I done well. There was one of those natural stone towers nearby,so I just slapped some Persian Foundations and two gate ways to make a sort of Reconstruction of a watch tower in the forgotten city. I might plan to make more structures and maybe a city in the server I’m in. And these build guides will help. Not in this video,but one tip I might find helpful later on is taking inspiration on real buildings. I feel like that tip was helpful. Anyway,keep build tips up as they are infinitely more useful then just telling us how to build a build.
I am still very new to Conan Exiles. Building is a sometimes very infuriating process, when you accidentally destroy a foundation tile that then suddenly doesn't want to go back there anymore because the game claims it is overlapping with something else. So I am very grateful for all the guides and tips you make. Thank you!
Hey there! Just in case no one mentioned it already, your build videos are (by a large margin) the best I've found for Conan Exiles. Extremely well presented, edited, and detailed. It is very easy to follow your builds in order to either replicate or be inspired. Many thanks from us unimaginative folks:) please keep it up!!
Hey Hadi, thanks for this comment. This sort of feedback really makes my day, I'm glad you enjoy the builds! I'll be keeping it up for sure, the feedback lately has been great, so there's no risk of stopping any time soon
I may be late to the party but I mix Aquilonian and Argossean building pieces quite often, sometimes even 2 wall designs on the same floor. Works pretty well.
I know I’m years late to this, but I’ve always loved building in games. ARK and Conan, however, are two games I’ve really struggled in. Especially with a lot of the roof pieces. Seeing how you’ve used these pieces so far has helped a lot.
Excelent point about mixing styles - I personaly love mixing Aquilonian buildings with Turanian roofs, making an impression of byzantine style ("bridge" between east and west). I only have a problem with Khitan and Yamatai, and so far, when I used one, I could only mix it with the other, maybe due to the fact that these styles are both from alternative far-eastern cultures, China and Japan, and I wasnt sure how they would look mixed with other pieces. But seeing your Yamatai and Black Ice, I must say it doesnt look bad at all
There are quite a few great combos to mix together, but yeah, some of them just don't work that well. I was personally surprised that Yamatai and Black Ice work that well together, but when thinking about it they're contrasting tones, so it sort of makes sense. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I recently finished a large citatel build (spread over mountains cobining Turanian, Stormglass and Khitan plus Arena for the more defensive parts of the structure. Works remarkably well. Couldn't find a good way to fit in Aquilonian though as the blue elements just clash with the Turanian/stormglass black.
Awnings are one of my favorite type of building items because it can really make the difference between a boring meh build and something that is pretty decent looking
In addition to the below comment, I would like to submit a request (I see you sometimes take into account build suggestions). I've been trying to come up with a "village build", as opposed to a single large structure with rooms dedicated to either crafting, sleeping, etc. A village build would have a "hut" or "shack" for the smelter, one for the blacksmith, one for the soldier guards (barracks) etc. That village would then be probably surrounded by a fortification wall of sorts... I would love to see what you come up with!! thank you for your builds:)
Have you looked at my Sentinel City Progress Logs? It's a part of my Colonizing Conan project that is aiming to colonize the entirity of The Exiled Lands according to faction control etc. That might provide something of what you're looking for. If instead you're looking for a much smaller village then I could definitely do that, let me know
@@remirez2k3 Hi Tina. I do already have a clan base build that could fit 3 - 4 players, but as for a dedicated village-style build, that could definitely be done. I'll add it to the list!
I keep trying to find info but I cant. How much foundation should you place for multi level, large, square buildings? Like I'm honestly at a lost with what to do...
It depends on how large you want to build. If you go too large you'll have to use pillars to support the ceilings for the next floor, and subsequent floors. Foundations and walls attached to foundations always have the same stability value, so its not too restrictive, its more down to how big you want to build
@@Eradicati0nn so I changed my plan and feel like my build is lacking (built offline mode) I made a 4 story 9x9 (15x15 top floor) and I was trying to go for an "Open" look. Is there anyway I can show you a pic or anything? Like a way to contact you? I wanna get better at building and have just started watching your vids. I have all the Dlc (save riddle of steel) and any and all help is appreciative. Once again the structure I made is pillar heavy, square, and feels very meh...
@@ninetailorochimaru Yeah sure man. Check the description, there's a link to the Discord. We have a help and a build channel and plenty of people to give feedback :)
is there a way to group build some objects? Like if you took 3 walls to make a shape, then group those walls together to build the same shape again, kinda like a copy and paste function?
Fantastic city. You're going to fill the server with cities and other buildings? How about building a small ghost town or a ruined castle like building.
In regards to the Colonizing Conan project, yeah we're filling the server with cities according to various different factions within the Age of Conquest mod. We already have locations planned for about 42 cities, but there will be little monuments elsewhere throughout the exiled lands. Castles, small villages, ruins etc
Eradicati0n awesome. I don’t know about the different mods and the factions within them. Maybe you could make a video about them. Look forward to seeing all your cities and your other buildings. Your videos and buildings are amazing. Can I make one suggestion though. Is it possible to make other styles of roofs instead of just pointy apexes?
@@learoynotjenkins5514 Yeah I can make some lore videos for the project itself, seeing as its something we're building up as we go. Yeah different roof styles are definitely on the list of variations for the different cities. We try to keep the architecture between the factions and cities consistent, but as we move towards the Elven cities, you can expect a lot more fancy looking structures
Its kinda difficult and really dependent on location from what I've built so far, but its something I could cover. I'm working on Building Tips 3 currently so I'll add it to the topic list
Probably a dumb question,but when or what scale do I need to stop the lag?I have this problem of wanting to go big and luxurious.but the skipping lag kills each of my builds.
Are you on PC or console? It might be the actual server you're on. If you're in singleplayer and on PC, try dropping your settings down a bit or even putting the game in windowed mode.
@@dread_doctor34beninnes82 I'm not sure about the lag, on singleplayer there really shouldn't be that many issues. I only play Conan on PC so I'm not sure what performance is like on Console
I been wanting to make a water/ocean type build for multi buildings. i tried the ocean in the jungle but loged on and everything is not showing up. any suggestions?
As in like building huts in the ocean? Or do you mean something else. You're better off joining our Discord and asking me there, its much easier to get an idea of what you're trying to build :)

This but with stormglass and turanian! They also go well together
This series is a year old and still one of the best guides for building in Conan.
I know I’m years late to this, but I’ve always loved building in games. ARK and Conan, however, are two games I’ve really struggled in. Especially with a lot of the roof pieces. Seeing how you’ve used these pieces so far has helped a lot.
wow, so glad i found you. finally builds that aren't just blocks for a safe pvp experience. inspirational
I would LOVE to see another building tips video. I watched the first one and now this one and I'm ready for more!
Just spent about 60 hours making a castle sorta thing, and now I want to start over!
Nice too see one of the coolest builders on Conan giveing me some great tips
Glad you found this video helpful man :)

Lol XD I can't imagine the grind for these houses 🤣🏘️
Ikr
Awnings are one of my favorite type of building items because it can really make the difference between a boring meh build and something that is pretty decent looking
Wish Funcom made more types of awnings tho, could really use an inverted Awning.
Pictish floors are the best, you can hide the foundations with foundation fences around them too
Very nice work i think this video will help me allot doing my buildings, thanks for another great video
No problem man, glad you enjoyed :)
Super helpful and very informative, will definitely be using some of these ideas in my next build, great video!!!
Thanks Ryan, glad you liked it!

I would like to build t treehouse but not to my standard
how did you guys get that floating POV when building?
I just fly whilst building in admin mode. It'll also be included in Creative Mode in Update 3.0
is there a way to group build some objects? Like if you took 3 walls to make a shape, then group those walls together to build the same shape again, kinda like a copy and paste function?
Nothing like that exists in the base game as far as I know. There might be a mod that adds it though

@@learoynotjenkins5514 No problem, plenty more are coming don't worry :)
How would you make a bath or pool? Seen a few speed builds but could never work it out myself?
Its kinda difficult and really dependent on location from what I've built so far, but its something I could cover. I'm working on Building Tips 3 currently so I'll add it to the topic list
@@Eradicati0nn thank you for responding!
@@MichaelWilliams-fd5ww No problem man!
What is the location of this area? It's so flat...
Its the plateau just to the west of The Unnamed City, on the western side of the map before Sepermeru
Age of Calamity or Emberlight?
None of these mods are used in this building tips video as far as I know.
But you can use both of them simultaneously if you like.
Probably a dumb question,but when or what scale do I need to stop the lag?I have this problem of wanting to go big and luxurious.but the skipping lag kills each of my builds.

I'm on PS4 console and in single player,as I'm still learning how to Conan. originally a COD player,so sandbox games are new to me.
@@dread_doctor34beninnes82 I'm not sure about the lag, on singleplayer there really shouldn't be that many issues. I only play Conan on PC so I'm not sure what performance is like on Console
