    This is a good start to some of the basics skipped over or passed in detail by youtubers like Aaron Longstaff (fast builds), Sitharias (massive creative builds) and FirePumkin (interiors half walls with fence supports, painting and skumorphism with Primitive Plus). You can go really far with creative use of fence supports, thatch as nesting material and layering doorways.

    Biggest tip for pillars and ceilings. Do your first pillar as he showed. Then that first pillar will have a snap point for another pillar and that for another. So lay out your pillars first then your ceilings will just snap top the tops

    Good vid! Shame devs didnt introduce s+ pillars on the homestead update, those snap under the ceilings by default and also can be placed in corners w/o fence foundations. But your tips can do that very much 100% legit on vanilla
    Btw, circular vanilla buildings are also very cool :D

    One way to deal with the pillar sticking out is to place a pillar halfway through the actuall ceiling and place more until it reaches the bottom then demolish the halfway through. It may take a few try’s so dont get frusturated

    You actually don't need the pillars to touch the ceiling piece.
    If you keep them locked into line with the original pillar then it exstends the space by 2 without having to do all the extra.

    1 tip everyone forgets about is you can snap connect pillars to act as foundations, literally works 100x better. Vanilla it creates floating structures. All it requires is 1 pillar to connect to a structure, run it to the ground, then snap your pillars to the next one. You're welcome

    I've found that the pillars aren't actually needed once everything is built so I can just delete them and have a massive internal room with no supports anywhere. Not sure if this still works, haven't played in a couple of months.

    • @mamaw00lies
      @mamaw00lies 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it only works if you have a foundation under so you could build a second floor or ceiling without pillars. I can't say 100% for sure since I've always played with S+. I played in a server where they didn't make any modifications to S+ and once when i picked up the wrong structure, everything came crashing down. c:
      Now we use S+ in a private server and I modified the configuration so foundations or pillars are not needed. It allows pretty much all the freedom we want for building things without the frustration.

    • @omnomshibob
      @omnomshibob 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm on ps4, no S+, and I did lay foundations first then pillars and ceilings. Once all ceilings were attached to walls I deleted the pillars and everything stayed up. Room is approximately 20x20 square.

    i disliked the way you kept pointing the camera directly at the boom intensified sun turning the focus of the video into dark shadow (and blinding us, well me anyway), and only at the very end put your back to the sun
    Also i didnt understand why anyone wants uneven foundations yet time was spent showing us how to get them, then an obscure throwaway and unelaborated upon comment at the end hinted at "how to get them perfectly even"
    Im very new to Ark, so maybe i will work all this shit out for myself, but honestly, this wasnt very helpful for me, maybe its more helpful to people who have a thousand hours in the game, but then they probably know it already
