Bases on PvP: throw up a giant metal box in the most secluded place you can find and completely cover the thing in machine gun turrets and gross angry tentacle plants, if you're lucky it will still exist wen you wake up in the morning
Bases on PvE: just build a cozy looking cottage on the beach and chill
I have a resort on Herbie island. It’s the most relaxed you can get in ark. ❤️
@@themurrrr I've had some fun times on that island, one time I tried going there on a raft, but a leedsicthys broke it on the way there, so I actually got stranded and had to build a little base and craft metal tools for the trip back
@@thomasdevlin5825
I dunno if maybe things are different on Ark mobile or if I just got super lucky, but I have never been attacked by a Leed on a raft!
Stranded on Herbie island is definitely not such a bad thing. I still love visiting my little straw cabanas (the loveshacks for breeding big dodo’s)
@@themurrrr now build a bridge from herb island to death island THATS FUN lol
@@thomasdevlin5825 that’s accualy pretty cool
I've ascended 8 times on pvp and im here and enjoying these videos ngl subbed
yo that's actually super dope! Thank you for the support mate
I've done everything on pvp multiple times too and I watch these videos
8 times, daaaaaamn..... Not sure I will ever be good enough to ascend, but hey: I’ll enjoy trying 🤣
@@themurrrr its kinda just taming your first 2 high level rexes and breeding til 20 rexes +2 extra to breed and theres the bosses done basically
Not hard but ascending is just making ammo and looting supply drops til you get like 500%+ weapons is easy its more of time than skill
True that, even when you did everything you can possible can do in ARK multiple times. Just watch and see if you can learn something new, remind you of other stuff and overall just enjoy the content I would say.
Thatch is perfect for when you are playing around with a base design, testing out flat areas, high limitations, etc. You can build it and wait till the final design before collecting and committing to the final materials.
Or for creating that beachey feel when making some shacks on Herbivore island.
Yes..... I only do single player. Fuck raids and the slaughter of my babies.
Damn i feel that. Good use of thatch too!
pterafier
I even use it at my snow base, cuz when you paint it white, a thatch roof looks like a snow covered roof with icicles hanging from it.
The hostile environment is all the stress I can manage as a noob player, really. But that means I do have more freedom with my designs.
People who can handle PvP have steal cojones in my opinion.
@@themurrrr iii😅ibi chin jiniib chic b ibi😅iiibibbi😅😅 ibid ibibibibibi in i😅ibibibibi😅i
I like to do wood walls with thatch sloped roof for a beginner base, makes it look like a tropical hut
Tek might seem like endgame tier building blocks, but for me, metal is all the way. Tek buildings are especially weak aganist tek weaponry, and explosives might not do as much damage, but its not as expensive as metal structures.
Man it’s been yeears since I’ve seen the center map. Even in TH-cam videos
Consider making a moving base on a platform saddle
True
With the beds make sure you stack multiple in your base. And I’d recommend putting a bed somewhere close outside your base next to a tamed purlovia (however you spell the Dino) hidden underground to store a back up kit in case you die while being raided.
Great tip!
Honestly this is the best ark tips channel. Love how the survival handbook is a bunch of small, nicely edited videos that you can rewatch many times as opposed to one video with everything crammed in.. Keep doing what you're doing!
Did you know that?:
In Ark, you can make charcoal in bulk in the Industrial Forge by placing wood inside it at a rate 10x the rate of a campfire.
Now you know!
Thanks so much wow
@Savge Mxcn not me, but now I do!
Solid content. I'm a veteran and really appreciate what you're sharing!
Thank you! Glad to hear that, that's pretty dope lol
Last time I watched you, you were at 4K, I think your gonna blow up, keep up the great work dude 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)
I’m ready for ark to blow up and this man will be the supplier of knowledge
You forgot: you can also damage tek foudation or other house parts with titanosaur and tek rifle im not sure if you can dmg with railgun or sword
I’ve been searching for short vids like these because i play on pvp fibers and can’t stop getting raided! These are a great help. You have my sub!
Thank you!
I’m loving this game. Playing single player, started on the island. Died a lot, somehow tamed a spino that spawned near my base. Getting used to it all, did a lap around the island collecting oil and crystal from the snow regions. About to build my main base. Trying to get the story.
I’m a hardcore pvp player, so when I see stuff like this I love it. I love that people play the game like this and I hate that I’ve been playing pvp so long that I can’t play Pve anymore. So when I see stuff like this, I enjoy it so much. So thank you for this
Awesome to see how fast you are growing, you earned it man.
Thank you!
These vids are so helpful! Also your growth is insane!!! This community is amazing!!
Facts. Thanks for being here mate!
You are so underrated man! Keep up the good work
I didn't played ark for about 200 days and i think that your vids realy helped me out of moments of stupidness in a call with my friends
I’m so happy you got what you deserve you should get more subs (you grew so fast in the past week)
It feels like just the other day you had 150 subs and now you are at 4k !!! I always knew this channel was going places ! Good job man keep up the amazing work !!!!
Thanks for the kind words!

It's crazy to think these videos were already such high quality back when their creator was only at a few thousand subscribers.
You are growing so hard and you really deserve it. It is a shame that i can never watch you live :c. But again amazing video, i have been thinking about playing pvp more so these kind of vid's are great.
Yeah like these other people I have been playing ark for a very long time and your vids are still good to watch. Very professional and enjoyable
Congrats for this sudden channel growth! Your videos are really helpful, and genuinely entertaining!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy :)
im new to the game and quite enjoy yer playful attitude! keep up the great content!!
Found this series by accident, love your patient style of explaining the basics, subbed and liked.
Thank you! Welcome aboard :)
For what its worth, my first base was a raft w stone foundations. Perfect for learning, just avoid the water dino that attacks rafts and you've got a great first base that you can move as needed.
Your videos are great and very useful thank you! I also enjoy your streams I should watch them more often when I'm bored!
You're doing damn great my man. I wish I had a series like this for when I started playing PC Ark.
Thank you! Same lol but im glad youre enjoying :)

Amazing! Thank you thats super nice of you
Once again. Great info.
Just found this channel, love it and makes me want to play ark again.
Glad you enjoyed! Do it!
Someone mentioned that you can do charcoal in the indy forge. But You can also do gasoline in the forge. Not only that, you can actually do all 3 at the SAME time.
Love ur vids man you’ll grow in no time
Thanks! Glad you enjoy :)
Congratulations on 4k bro
Thank you!
U need a billion subs man your vids r so in depth Lov it kept it up
Thank you!
Nice video, ty, continue with the good work.
Thank you!
I find myself on your channel everyday, remember me in the future pt
Thanks for being here mate
I’ve never ascended on a PvP server and I’ve played this game from release. When I finish college this year that’s going to be my goal
Behind the curve and my buddy just got me hooked on ark about a month ago. Your videos have helped me be more knowledgeable about the game then him. Thanks man!!
Happy to help!
@@pterafier also think it's really cool that even tho this video is almost 10 months old you still took the time to reply to me! Not alot of content creators do that, not even close. Thanks again man, you're great!
i wish this video longer LOL, thanks a bunch Ptera
Glad you enjoyed sondi :)
Glad you enjoyed sondi :)
Another awesome video
Glad you enjoyed!
Thatch is amazing for building traps or other builds where you have to get distances right.
Nice video thanks for the help
Congratulations on 6k lmao your almost there anyway
You should make a video about dungeon, how to complete it, and what to bring, how not to die in it, and the loot you'll get after completing it
Hey man im a new subscriber. And i gurantee you that you will become a big youtuber. You lay out your videos well and have a great voice. Keep it up man just downloaded the game on xbox because of you
Yoooooo no way lol that's super dope! Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoy the game :)
@@pterafier thanks man will try my best im prepared to die a lot
Try and use a wired connection by the way consoles have a hard time running it but it's pretty playable with a Xbox 1 s and a great Wi-Fi connection plus next gen consoles are soon and should run it fine the only other problem is Xbox uses a pretty bad server hosting service atleast from what I've heard.
Yasss the next vidd!
Subscribed 👍🏻 your vids are great!
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed :)
Thatch bases are superior. Great vid. I was intermediate and had about 60 hours. The best I could do was acquire riot armor and that is where I peaked. These vids made me exponentially better at ark.
Thanks! Happy to help
4k!Your channel is growing super fast!
Facts! Thanks for watching :)
@@pterafier no problem.
@@pterafier you got 5k!Good job.
@@pterafier 6k!!
An interesting guide for new and advanced players. Something that would be interesting for every skill level of players is an indepth guide/look at waht kind of bases to make. With examples and seeing as you like to compare playstels and other stuff of Ark, this would fit right in with the rest of your vids. Just some bases from, like, small, medium and big and compare their layouts, uses and how to improve, what best to avoid when building and planning. How to find good locations, what to watch out in either PvP or PvE. Maybe examples. For example: I used to build multi floor buildings but later realized that keeping everything more compact, in one place and easy to reach from a central location fits my own playstyle way more than anything else. So, yeah, giving just food for thoughts because I know creating that 8 min video took hours. Keep it up, your voice is soothing and relaxing to listen to.
Yo this is extremely thoughtful. I really like this idea a lot! I screenshotted so I can make it happen lol thank you!
@@pterafier ARK has a big Building community out there. People who either did everything already and want to build something good looking for their dinos. Or people who just want to build and leave a mark on the landscape. There is the whole functionality vs beauty building too. When you look down on the big mountainrange on Ragnarok and look at the desert landscape with the mountains in the background and decide to build your base there, you could have such an amazing location. Too many to really count out there. ARK has some stunning views and alot of different locations that you can settle in and just create something unique. Always astonishes me that our community is diverse.
How do you manage your bases? And how many bases should you have (on the Island)?
I have about 6 bases now, 2 are deserted.
My 'main' base is just west of the vulcano on the grassy patch west of the small river. I have my industrial forge, chem bench and grinder there. But I also have a big base just at the entrance of Smugglers Pass, with a lvl 140something Therizino and more tames there.
Should I just pick one mane base where all my tames are, or should I just hop between the two?
And if, should I also built all the equipment in my second base?
Thanks!
man you growing crazy fast love the content keep it up!
Your videos me back into Ark thank you🙏
Glad to hear it!
Wow, last video you've had 2k, now 5k! Crazy how fast its going.
Duuuuude it's kinda nuts lol thanks for the support
Love you channel helps a lot
Happy to help! Thanks for watching :)
Keep the good work up you more helpfull then most of the bigger ark streamers
Yep definitely he is mainly for information but he is also entertaining no offense lol.
I remember a few years back i was on a official pvp server and a tribe had a community greenhouse that everyone could use. Thats the only way i see a greenhouse being useful on pvp
7:00 you can use an industrial forge to make charcoal it's much faster as well
You need way more subs man
You think so? Thanks! That's pretty cool of you to say lol
Outro gave me Goosebumps theme music vibes 🤙🏼
I wish I had these tips, when I first started on ark but we learn the hard ways
Faaaaaaacts lmao
Best time ever when you accidentally ate narcoberries and didn't know what was happening.
that base in the thumnail looked like the base my tribe had before we got raided
PVE/SP thatch = scaffolding equipment ... SP mode is great for players that enjoy building. You can put bases in key locations or specialty buildings/pens that require water or whatever... pretty much anywhere without pissing off other players or getting raided. You just have to manage your resources and spawns. I like towers since easy access for your flyers and spawns are interrupted by number of foundation/pillars and the multiplier. Building up instead of out, means fewer spawn interruptions. I keep most of my dinos and my greenhouse on a plateau in the south where it's safer for them and doesn't interrupt other dino spawns. But that's just me. SP Mode has a bad spawn glitch caused by the hibernation system. I find my system allows me to go longer between dino wipes and slow down the Ark despawn effect.
Smart!
they say the first thousand followers is the hardest! keep it up man!
Many thanks!
@@pterafier disappointed I missed the stream tonight 😔 😅
@@jfine1463 yo no worries! I'm not going anywhere lol
Love this series
I'm happy to hear that! Thanks for watching
Sssss
The size of that greenhouse... Hot damn.. Crystal is so scarce in Ragnarok that after I built my grinder and other electronics I just thought fk it, it's gonna be open air garden. On the hand, that greenhouse is in extinction, where you trip over crystals all the time :D
LMFAO i agree with literally everything in this comment 😂😂😂
True that, crystal is harder to get in the not desert places. This is why I made my base on the Desert Island with the oil nodes, right in the crescent moon bay. There is crystal right up that ledge and all around the Drake caves and further away on the desert coast. But generally they got more Crystal spawns in the desert areas that they made later on.
@@ShinForgotPassxXx There is a nice ledge with flat area in coords 61/51 where I built my base, overlooking the desert. Tons of resource all around me, and only dinos that come really close is pteranodons, so the place is pretty safe too. Following snow line to the west will lead me to crystals, as there are tons of them in around 50/48, big nodes here and there. First time I cleared them I got something like 1,5k crystals, but it took many days for them to respawn, which is super long considering I have time to play 4-5 hours a day.
I love that I found an ark you tuber who isn’t cringe/toxic your awesome
Thank you! That means a lot
It is kind of hard to be toxic during info vids but i can say i probably cussed .2 seconds after accidentally eating narcoberries as a beach bob.
Thank you this is the video I was waiting for also i love the series keep doing what your doing
Glad to hear that
If your on pvp become friends with the alpha it helps alotttt
T x I
On the topic of not using thatch structures, personally, I like to build a single thatch foundation, just so that I can place down my mortar and pestle and maybe also a forge.
Yeah. thatch is good for a temporary base to get yourself prepared for when you can start efficiently collecting stone and metal for stone and metal bases.
Epic vids and streams.
Thanks! Much love
Who watches these type of videos but already knows everything
I do
Same lol
Same
I'm still slightly learning stuff even though I've watched hundreds of ark videos.
Me too lol 😆
Nice vid you need more subs I’m gonna type the link to your channel in a random crowded ark server
Oh by the way I think you should recommend using cooking pots to make charcoal.. they have much bigger inventory and I think they burn at the same speed as a camp fire
Ooooo never thought about that. Smart!
When i play official pvp my base consists of a metal 2x1 with 2 floors and good environmental/tree coverage. I’d make another 2x1 for a fabricator close but not too close to the main base. I’ve found that if i can barely find my base then other survivors should have even more trouble finding it, i rely on coverage and prayers instead of turrets for defense
Anyone can tell me if it was a good idea to set up a metal base on some ice bridge thingy in the snow biome?
Congratulations You got 5k
Thanks! 😃
I can't imagine PvP will ever be for me, so I guess it's cozy thatched cottages all the way for me.
i make a wood base at the start because i might not have enough time to get to stone tier in one day and also you can get narcotics faster
I remember 150 subs, I’m in this for the long run. Arks getting kinda boring. Could you explain how to keep motivation to keep playing. I can’t find a group to play with on pvp, and too used to solo to make it not fun whatsoever. And pve got boring after a while. So could you help out with that? I want to continue to play but it’s just not fun. It’s only fun for about an hour or two then it gets boring . But I love the game and want tips to find new ways to make the game exiting.
My best suggestion is to tackle something new that you don't normally do. For me, it's been building. And not like, creative mode building lol just building the biggest and best thing I can make while still having to harvest resources. Other than that I'd recommend mods, there are some really cool ones out there.
@@pterafier for me it's between bosses and building. I'm still on the island after having the game for three years but 1 not playing alot until just this year and 2 not trying and just goofing around until this.year as well I have a tribe of 8 peopls and generally building and gathering artifacts is my main way of doing new stuff and having fun.
Just started playing ark with my friends and we keep dying so I searched up tips and found u you’ve helped a lot thanks
Dominate official PVP for 4+ years having never been raided once by having an underwater tech base that is super hidden. Use teleporter to get out of the tech base to transport you disposable resources bases.
Thank you
Thank YOU!
Obito that yoi?
Thank you for keeping promises
But what promise though?!
@@bookoverlook3180 It was on his stream I told him what the schedule was and he said he would post a video right after stream, and he did it.
Oh okay lol have a good night.
@@bookoverlook3180 No, you have a better night
I love your voice and your vids . I hope you will be my history teacher 😍🤣🤣
😂😂😂 gotchu lol
Stone is best for pve bc of how cheap it is and how few dinos can damage. But if your paranoid go metal. Only Dino I know is arthro and titanosaur that damage it
My question is water. How do you solve the problem of needing water, do you run pipes to your base? Do you place your base near water always? Just curious on how you typically deal with this
Typically I stay relatively close to water, close enough to where I can get there in a minute or 2. You can use irrigation pipelines and a tap to bring water to your base. I talk about irrigation pretty thoroughly in my farming guide if you want more info. There's a trick there that might help you
Me and my friend have a PvE world, lately a drop started to spawn within our base and we can no longer build within our base because of it and can’t disable it as we are on PS4, is there anything we can do?? We are on day 170 and really don’t wanna start again.
Love your channel btw so glad I found it even though I’m long past the early game your videos are just so addictive.
Oh snap, thats a pretty sticky situation. Does it let you collect the loot from the drop? If it does id just collect it and build when it's gone. That's awfully peculiar though and i cant say ive ever experienced that...
pterafier nah there’s a specific radius around the drop where we can’t build whether the drop is there or not. To make matters worse it’s only started dropping there recently, can drops change location?? Either way looks like our base is screwed.
