Love your builds, currently using your workshop build (converted it to a house) and your breeding pen design to breed the new ape dino, my friends are jealous of how nice it looks!
i found 2 trees that the platform was at the same height and managed to make the treehouse v2 build twice for an even bigger base. Took forever tho lol
Syntac, I was playing this map since it launched and today I finally found a Amargasaurus saddle blueprint in a drop. So they definitely are available in drops
Now that I no longer game, I told myself that in 2022, I would give up watching gameplay videos. However, I cannot resist a building episode from Syntac. The creative side of me is satisfied. 😀
I honestly love your videos so much! I hadn’t played Ark for 2 years and started watching your channel again a month ago after having a break from the game and now I’ve spent 100+ hours playing it in that time hahaha. Keep up the amazing videos! 👍🏼
I played a good bit on the lost island, long enough for me to forget about the sinomocrops on my back allowing me to fly a little. A few days ago I was playing on abberation and stupid me thinking that I still had the sinomocrops jumped off a cliff to avoid a pack of Ravagers. I avoided the ravagers at least, but I did not fly lol. So when you were talking about how much the sinomocrops had helped you with your base I had a little laugh at myself.
I am totally digging that base design. ♥ I love building videos, would love to see a guide for how you built it or just more building segments but I understand it's not a lot of peoples' favorite thing. Keep up the good work, loving the series. ^.^
I dont like when people think that people put effort to their videos while in reality they kinda not except those that work hard for his/her fans. Syntac is one of the creators that actually does a lot for his fans. Building stuff on Ark is not easy compared to minecraft or other games. It could take hours or days or even months. Syntac earns my respect
Idk how other people feel but I love long Syntac videos. I usually play ark while I watch because I'm kinda new. And I hadn't played Ark for about 5 months So watching you play lost island while I play lost island really Keeps me going
Cool to see. This is where my tribe and I are built on official. Your Sino is scaring the bats that’s why they don’t attack in the caves. Loving the series.
Hey little tip, if u need stone, go to the castle at around 30 30 with ur doedec, there are like hundrets of Little stone rocks scattered around the place that I thought couldn’t be mined but turns out each Little Rock gives you tons of stone and u can just sit in one place with the Doedec and spam click. U can easily get 100k stone there
@@trainrek5204 oh, yeah it's super hard, but it's like an enjoyable difficult. I've wanted to get a game like this for a while and I'm glad I have it now.
Hey syntac, I have a video idea. I think you should do an ark nuzlocke. It should be something like "I attempted an ark nuzlocke" and the rules go: you pick a map probably the island because its the standard map and you can only tame one dino of each species so one dodo one rex if they die they die. So thus means that breeding is also not allowed which I know kinda sucks but it is what it is. Now your objective could be to beat up the broodmother the megamonkey or the dragon on alpha/beta/gamma depending on what you think. You could also increase the max level of dinos on your server to make it a bit easier or think of something else. Love your vids!
Hey Syntac Buddy!! almost missed this one. OH!! by the way, the Absolute BEST place for black pearls is in the tiny lake at the bottom of the "crescent mountain" near the volcanoes south side, but in the transition area from grass/volcano/snow areas. I get over 500 each haul :)
Syntac make battlements on the walkway by snapping ceilings to pillars to be off centre so their is a overhang Next use doors and half walls snapped into each other for a battlements look
New base is looking good. I’ve always had crazy ideas for building. And then when it came to the actual building, they always ended up basic squares. I never had imagination to make my ideas reality.
If you are still having problems with the bushes or you have trouble in the future the maewing slam or belly flop is really good for clearing them and collecting berry
Tip for Equis taming eat a rare flower run through a 1 by 11 tunnel and block off both ends really quickly then remove the top roofs and then you have it traped
Hey Syntac, they fixed the taxidermy things and fixed the dermises for the X and R creatures. They show properly now. They fixed the unicorn, but left off the horn... XD
I love this series and your videos. I have to say I haven't watched the video yet and is already commenting, but I really want you to know I LOVE the entertaining content you give. Today in our school a student was positive and were in quarantine, my teacher is also positive (on covid) (and they're also all vaccinated..) And I've been feeling a bit sick for the last couple of hours. I hope I didnt get the virus.
There is black pearls in the lake just south of the volcano area and east of the snow area, when I got them there wasn't any dangerous dinos there either so if you need more I recommend checking it out
You can tell the difference between an owl and an argy because of their wing movements. An owl’s go up and down while the argy’s go up forward down and back.
Very cool Build. Unfortunately I am not on PC, but on X-Box. I wish there was an update that included the S-Building that allows some of the cool stuff. I'll still try to utilize some of the cool features you showed on my own Builds. Again, very cool Build.
About the tower thing you could make one of them a bit taller then the rest and put a few balista or something on it(or landing platfrom for favorite flyer?). No roof ofcourse it would still work asthetic wise i think.
Would have been cool if you had the CKF mod on & made the castle with their stuff, they have some amazing stuff. However as someone who has made one properly with the CKF mod, I know how expensive it is due to the metal cost. Totally worth it though. You did an awesome job either way Syntac.
@@TyTyTheFryGuy I get you are just explaining it to them and all, but try and tone it down a bit so you sound less like an asshole and more like somebody who is trying to inform people. They probably didn't watch the video, and put this comment here BEFORE doing so. A lot of people comment before watching.
@@TyTyTheFryGuy no i just think he spawns stuff in. if u look at his previous play throughs his bases are insane and i couldn’t imagine farming all the stuff
@@reecewheeler6696 It's really not that hard, I've built basses like that before. It all comes down to commitment and focus. I suppose it would seem impossible if you're thinking of official settings, but Syntac doesn't use those settings either.
Hey, loving the videos, don't know if you want them or not, but the far eastern part of the map is where the griffins spawn, I almost died to them walking around a corner
FYI, there is an even easier place to get lots of black pearls. Check the bottom of the small round lake by the geysers. Its all black pearls and there is nothing in that lake.
Found a great cave for crystal and oil in the snow biome. Big open mouthed cave, up from a lake. Can't remember exact CoOrds but there's a river running towards it.
Btw Syntac idk if youll see this but at coords 37 63 there is a lake with nothing around it that has a bunch of black pearls it has not jellyfish or megalodons and you dont have to fight any bats or spiders
The caves aren't bugged. Your sino scares bats away. And the last one you were in with the monkey wasn't bugged either. The monkeys just don't aggro much.
Very awesome looking new base, I really like the way it's looking bud and I also enjoy watching your content. Thanks for the entertainment and ideas, keep being awesome man.
Hi Syntac, thanks for the excellent video. At 10:43 in the video you have what appears to be criss-crossed bars on the gate & windows. How are those made? Thank you.
So, I was playing earlier today, during a swamp expedition I got leeched, as soon as I did I was swarmed by like 10 sinomacrops and killed. Just found it interesting that sinomacrops attack you when leeched
Do you ever think about taming some non traditional utility tames? I'd love seeing you go around on a Rock Elemental havesting wood and stone (they're really good at wood). A mantis would be really cool too.
Next major large building bit or gathering bit like this you should do a timelapse, btw love the videos. Also what happens when you use a syno and parachute at the same time?
You could also find a looooot of black pearls on the lake at red woods, near the volcano lat 40 lon 64, somewhere near there, I don't remember exactly the coordinates. Edit: forgot to say, they are superrr easy to get, there's no enemy in the lake.
Yeah, about using an alpha rex to tame an amarg. People seem to think the "easiest" way and the "best" way are the same thing. Using an alpha may be the best way, but it's not the easiest lol
Funny how I built my base next to him on the other side of his little Island or whatever it is. Its just a base up very high and literally next to me there are a lot of metal nodes in a little cave. I always use the maewing to move up there or move down. Its my favorite tame basically since it makes the map Look small even though its massive. Being on the North side and riding on one of those to go south is the best thing. You literally need like 1 Minute to be there
please educate me: I'm still kinda nooby at this game so i really don't know... what's the purpose of putting all those foundations down like seen at around the 2:45 area? is it to keep the plants from growing back while you're working on the building? I've only played single player on ps4 since i got the game part way through 2021
If I were to make my own custom structure it would not take direct damage from explosives without penetration. You would have to for example damage it with a pike or pickaxe before a grenade or c4 will do damage, and it would require 55 hits to begin doing any damage, and only after that will each strike do damage. If you do not do all 55 strikes and then leave it alone for too long the counter goes down to 0 again.
@@Syntac Of all my stupid comments on the web, I get called out on this one. 😂 I yield. I just love watching you slide Duckbill McGee through things. ❤️ Edit: And before I forget - thank you for your work on these videos, you are amazing, and I appreciate the effort you put in.
