The second snap point for pillars I did not know you could do this! Thank you! I'm very glad, because I was building a massive base and did not want the entire floor to look ugly.
Just the video I was looking for. I'm an admin on a primitive plus roleplay server, and I'm working on a colosseum, and the pillars were annoying to me if I was seeing myself as a guest to a show. This video helped a ton. Thank you!!
thank you. that was helpfull. solution 2:10 min. snap pillar halfway, snap one below a bit lower than it wants to, keep putting pillars down till u reach the bottom, remove the halfway-top one.
You sir, are my hero. MAN do I hate those freaking pillars poking on top the floors. Thank you, you have earned yourself a sub just for your clean pillar trick!
There can be a problem when placing a pillar on the cornor and after placing the pillar all the way into the ground and removing the ceiling, the pillar can be destroyed :/ At the time making this video I haven't seen that before, that's why I don't havwe a solution for that in this video. I did have encountered that for the first time when I was building my bridge. Here is the link and specific time of the video where I show a solution for that: th-cam.com/video/V3kkFpTGxIw/w-d-xo.htmlm49s I hope this will help you!!
Good stuff! I'm hoping this will help me tonight... we all know it's best to start at the lowest point and work the way up slope and not try to go down because it doesn't work... but that's just what I need now. I started down the hill and built upward, a ton of stuff built now, and jsut decided I'm out of space and want to extend down the hill a bit more. Pretty sure I'm going to need this hack, wish me luck :-) Thanks
It's amazing what people find out on games I find all your building tips and tricks really useful I'd love to actually try and watch only them but other you tubers pop up... it's really annoying trying to watch your helpful step by step with others coming up lol
Another great tutorial. I love these tricks you're sharing. I'm currently playing on a friend's server but I am going to do some testing on single player to learn your tricks as well as figure out what I want to design. I notice in your videos you are carrying a lot of structure pieces. Are you using a console command to carry extra weight or did you level up a lot and put the points into weight?
+Travis D Awesome :D Share the tricks with your friends as well ;) Indeed, best to test things out in single player and later do it in multiplayer. Thats what I always do :) For thos building videos, I have few lvls in movement speed and all the rest I put in weight, so I can carry a lot. I dont need the other stats in singleplayer ;)
Been playing ark for about 3 yrs now and ive just always dealt with the pillar sticking thru the ceiling. Now i dont have to and my bases will look alot cleaner.
Having trouble with S+ Pillars in Viking Bay, trying to build across the broken arches. Any suggestions? First I am widening the plateaus sufficient enough to use Keep Behemoth Gates as walls with Rounded Keep Towers on the corners, then building across. Some pillars will not snap to the Sea bottom.
Any tips on building a bridge that will allow rafts to pass under safely? Using ceilings as measurement, foundations/pillars only allow up to 13 ceilings (in a diamond shape) before requiring additional foundation support. Is there a method that will allow me to build without this limitation?
modded or non-modded? you can also build a bridge like I build with a Patreon in my The Center series, have the middle part lower, so rafts can go over. We use mods, but you can do that also without mods, pillars are pillars and a ramp will work also on vanilla.
This is on an official xbox server, so non-modded. I only ask because it is very difficult and messy trying to get dinos across the water using only rafts, and almost impossible for our larger tames. We are also under pressure by the server alpha tribe to make sure their rafts can pass under the bridge without knocking off tames or tribe members.
ill watch that.... i am just having trouble making a flat on a slope... but the pillars will look good too... just keep running out of wood on the new map
I also have a video for building on sloped terrain that might help or if you want to close gaps you can check the fence foundation tips and tricks video
Fresonis I will!! The gap is ugly. I am trying now to obsorb the pillar thing. I have not been to sleep in to long due to my taming problems lol. So my mind will no longer focus. Currently have 4 pillars with the top poking out. Need more wood though. Which means inbred a new game to get wood faster. Uug
*The pillar in the corner trick of this video doesn't work anymore, check here for the updated trick!* th-cam.com/video/IUVmmNnWuzw/w-d-xo.html
The second snap point for pillars I did not know you could do this! Thank you! I'm very glad, because I was building a massive base and did not want the entire floor to look ugly.
yea so annoying that the game can make building hard and ugly. but awesome the trick can help you! :)
Definitely one of the clearer videos on TH-cam explaining this technique. Thank you for the concise, and informative vid!
you're welcome :)
thank you. new to ark and building over water was beginning to frustrate me, now I can do it with ease. subbed
Even though this is old , it was still helpful , thanks !
Older now and still helping 💀😂😂
@@juanbasurto6684 haha
Your videos are still useful 6 years later. Thank you!
Awesome that these old videos can still help. Sadly also means Ark never fixed the building technique issues :p
Have fun building!
@@Fresonis ha yeah it's still very frustrating. I this game out daily!🤣🤣
@@Fresonis i think they’ve fixed now haha, i just tried the ceiling and pillar technique and when i broke the ceiling, the pillar broke too
@@spencerpaine9084 that sucks if they delete this trick
Awesome stuff. I've been struggling to get pillars to "behave" for so long. Thank you!
Glad it helps you out!! :D
Just the video I was looking for. I'm an admin on a primitive plus roleplay server, and I'm working on a colosseum, and the pillars were annoying to me if I was seeing myself as a guest to a show. This video helped a ton. Thank you!!
I love when I find old video that is still relevant AND helpful. :) no amount of thanking can convey how grateful I am :) ... but Thank you :D
You're welcome 😉 nice that the video can help you and indeed many of the old problems are still a thing today
Thank you so much. I was having issues putting pillars in corners for a house build but now I got it.
Awesome
That second half is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much!
Awesome! Good luck and have fun building :)
thank you. that was helpfull. solution 2:10 min. snap pillar halfway, snap one below a bit lower than it wants to, keep putting pillars down till u reach the bottom, remove the halfway-top one.
Awesome!
Wouldn't it be nice if the default placement of these building pieces didn't look like shit right off the bat
Good video, thanks for that. I've seen so many people build stuff with pillars as decoration and I've never known how.
Thanks Fresonis..that was an excellent video. I will definitely be using those techniques going forward.
Awesome!
You sir, are my hero. MAN do I hate those freaking pillars poking on top the floors. Thank you, you have earned yourself a sub just for your clean pillar trick!

Thanks dude. That pillar wall looks sweet. Never would have thought of that.
Thnx David !! There are so many things you can do with pillars :)
I've built plenty of bridges with them that's for sure haha
+David Carnes hehe yea. you can use them for actual building but also for decoration

You just helped me so much,
Nice that I could help you, remember the pillar in the corner trick is updated in another video
ill watch that.... i am just having trouble making a flat on a slope... but the pillars will look good too... just keep running out of wood on the new map
I also have a video for building on sloped terrain that might help or if you want to close gaps you can check the fence foundation tips and tricks video

also take your rest ;)
