peepholes as you call them is a dead giveaway to any raider you have stacked foundations or fake floors, its better to have the outside look like a normal building.
Instead of having to demolish a ceiling you can place a bed over a trapdoor. It's harder to open because you have to lie down but no one can see it. Only downside apart from slow opening is if someone destroys your bed to stop you spawning then they find your secret stash.
l when the game come out on xbox i got it and have always used the same storage boxes i just have them sitting under water in some sea weed filled with loot they only got found once because i was off line for months and someone built a big base on the water where i had it but i still had more boxes stashed so i didnt ever need a base
Genius early base build! That bunker idea is awesome. I'm gonna build some metal bunkers near my base, with beds and chests with sniper rifles, as front line fortifications. Thanks!
Your ideas are so creative. Even late game, I might use the beginning technique as deep storage and blast a hole in my own base with grenades to make it looks like it's been raided and abandoned.
Ramp or slope ceiling at the peep holes to get a range of angles to shoot through. Also, some peep holes at ground level to shoot from the prone or maybe on a second floor.
Couldn't one theoretically make murder holes with those peepholes? Arrow slits and such so they can shoot outside the base whilst under nearly total coverage?
The problem with those sniper slots is that they work both ways and there's no protection for the guy inside. They should be staggered so that you can shoot out but also have a "safe" area to heal or take refuge from return fire. I'd also recommend something on the outside so they can't just walk up the walls and look inside.
This is really cool and I'll definitely consider using it, but say I have some dinos that require a gate and garage (i have an allo and Rex and some other things), is there a well protected Dino garage that I can use or should I just wing it?
But by double-stacking those ceilings over the chests, instead of single stacking, I think that makes it MORE likely somebody's going to see your hidden area. The slightly-raised second level should be somewhat obvious to any good observer. But I'm thinking (and I haven't tried this yet, just basing it on what I saw in your video just now) that if you had just used one ceiling, the height was perfect with respect to the surrounding foundations, so they might not spot any difference and suspect anything.
I would say that better interior defense dinos would probably be Spiders, Bats and Dilo's, compies if you have enough but thats just my thought process, a Sabre would probably be too big and get stuck in a lot of places
For any of you out there who happen to be running Structures + ..... You can stick a storage box on the ground beneath a foundation and simply pick it back up to access the box. ;)
i really want to play online byt when im close to lvling up someone comes, picks me on their ptera and cages me.. :( any advise? im on xbox thats probs why :(
What i like to do is make a trapdoor but i put my dung beetle cage over it so when someone raids me they wont destroy the cage so they wont see the trapdoor
all you need is a rpg, and you can say bye bye. for me I think you should hide thatch, wood, and stone base. but what you did was great and I'm not a noob I just like watching these tutorial videos :^).
Couldn't they shoot you threw it too and see what's in your base ? It would be best to have an air lock then make the peep hole over the main door so they can't see what's inside
I've been a noob all my life. But now I can sprout my wings and turn into a beautiful pleb.
Unironic Memes lmao
aha is that the next level up?
H.O.D GAMING indeed it is
spicy memes
H.O.D GAMING I do enjoy some HOD gaming and some spicy memes
Let me know if you find this helpful and want more building tips!
you need the temp buildings mod on your server!
Amazing vid (as bloody usual) but I thought I would ask what you think of throwing Arthropleura in the outer layer?
I just started in a pvp server. very helpful
Amenhotep oh that would be amazing such a good idea!
Malcolm Holt good to hear :)
Don't tell people about this tactic, 5 mins later into the video, if you enjoyed the video please share with your friends xD
ahah it was a joke obviously :p
That plant in the middle of the base pissed me off.
Honestly love this series so far, this is extremely useful. Please don't end this series any time soon! :)
peepholes as you call them is a dead giveaway to any raider you have stacked foundations or fake floors, its better to have the outside look like a normal building.
Mark Stenger good point
Instead of having to demolish a ceiling you can place a bed over a trapdoor. It's harder to open because you have to lie down but no one can see it. Only downside apart from slow opening is if someone destroys your bed to stop you spawning then they find your secret stash.
Couldn't people use the peep holes to shoot IN?
i think i mentioned its a 4 by 4 and you need more than 12 foundations this was because 4 get deleted :P
l when the game come out on xbox i got it and have always used the same storage boxes i just have them sitting under water in some sea weed filled with loot they only got found once because i was off line for months and someone built a big base on the water where i had it but i still had more boxes stashed so i didnt ever need a base
Grammar Op, Its (How to not be a noob) Not ( How not to be a noob )
Protosszea lol How not to be a noob sounds better to me.
You are wrong both are right .
Beginner base with a fab sniper 😲
Genius early base build! That bunker idea is awesome. I'm gonna build some metal bunkers near my base, with beds and chests with sniper rifles, as front line fortifications. Thanks!
Such an awesome build. Great video to get you thinking about creative defense building!
Your ideas are so creative. Even late game, I might use the beginning technique as deep storage and blast a hole in my own base with grenades to make it looks like it's been raided and abandoned.
yeah deceit is the key :)
Would it be a possobility to put a bed in the hidden area, so that you could fast traval into it to check what you have?
Awesome video HOD keep up the great work man!!
I'm going to be looking out for that dip in the floor on every raid I do from now on, thanks HOD.
+Demendra Gaming aha np :)
H.O.D... those peep holes are screaming "I GOT DUBBLE FUNDATIONS" ... kinda of a big tell there might be some secret storage
Thanks for the helpful build idea! The pteranodon through the door trick is gold!!
Good little guide, as always. keep up the good work.
With this and a buffer layer + quad airlocks made from double doors and frames nobody is going to raid me again. Thanks for the nuke bro:)
Love the content , followed u since 10k subs
thanks man that is awesome good to see ya still here!
Great video bro. This should help. I'm definitely excited about this game on PS4
I swear this guy tells all of my secrets lmao
Yeah, works great when alpha comes and wipes it all including foundations.
Really well made the video and the base
under my foundations it has 10kcp and 3k metal ingots in my friends alpha server tribe
Does this still work
Hod I love this series!
(edit) sry I wrote this twice :O
This worked for a while, until the alpha tribe wiped my base...twice. :/
Can you do this with metal foundations yes?
Thank you I finally found a decent instructions for building i didn't know anything until i saw this video
Also the leveling up video keep it up buddy
Can i replace the stone base later to metal with the same sniping spots ??
For some reason I find the way you say "peepholes" very satisfying.
Ramp or slope ceiling at the peep holes to get a range of angles to shoot through. Also, some peep holes at ground level to shoot from the prone or maybe on a second floor.
yeah good idea! prob on second floor so you can still have Ptera bellow
Apparently i cant count lol
thank you ive been a noob all my life and now i can finally evolve into a know it all noob thanks so much
Couldn't one theoretically make murder holes with those peepholes? Arrow slits and such so they can shoot outside the base whilst under nearly total coverage?
H.O.D GAMING while you are making this you can bye it to camoflouge the base and maybe use the eco trees mod to cover it up :p pretty good idea hug?
huh?
+Master_of_ark The typos! Agggghhhh!
The problem with those sniper slots is that they work both ways and there's no protection for the guy inside. They should be staggered so that you can shoot out but also have a "safe" area to heal or take refuge from return fire. I'd also recommend something on the outside so they can't just walk up the walls and look inside.
top stuff mate looks great!!
Will be using this in the future, thx!
I would rather use mortars and pestles for storage, I believe they have the same amount of space as a small box?
Scribble the Pug yeah but they're just annoying and shit
awesome, keep giving us the dope.
bed with the hidden storage?
light Ice and a trap door ceiling on bottom, save materials
Hod can u do an Xbox 1 pvp server on center or island
Netralex Z how do I find center servers all I see is island servers
search center
Does things like rocks and trees respawn when you destroy them?
I have a question, if the base is all finished how do u access the base?
This is really cool and I'll definitely consider using it, but say I have some dinos that require a gate and garage (i have an allo and Rex and some other things), is there a well protected Dino garage that I can use or should I just wing it?
this is an amazing idea I think I'll try it
how do you get such depth of field in your game? or is that edited in?
I've used this method and got raided about 10 times and they never found my stuff... thanks hodo
The perverted peephole part won my like and follow :) Keep up the good jokes !!!
You can try fence foundations under there and putting mortars there instead of small storages. (On the fence foundations)
H.O.D, Thanks for the video!
thanks for the comment no worries!
Love your vids man
"Keep this a secret" *posts it on TH-cam* lol this is awesome
+Derian Basil :p
H.O.D GAMING Quick question, I want to play Ark on a gaming computer, but I have it on PS4. is it a better experience on PC?
+Derian Basil By far man! I'm not even trying to be a PC Elitest, but, It's an overall better experience on PC. If you're pc can handle it that is.
please do more ark raiders its my favorite thing about ur amazing chanel
Yessss
potato!
Can you do an updated version of this with protection from raiders who break in from the top?
What settings do you run on?
"Get out of my house you dirty pervert" Lol
H.o.d gameing i was wondering if I could join ur tribe and what's the server ur playing right now because I just got wiped and I'm really down
Mind. Was. Blown.
Fukin love you Hodo :)
ahah good to hear cheers man!
do u have to double foundations 4 peeps
"Keep this a secret..."
- 10k Views lter
I've already found at least two of these bases on a server.
gg...
ahah really? that is crazy
92k+ and counting lol
H.O.D GAMING 152k+
will planet x shoot through the peep holes in the corners ?
lmao it might try but the shots wouldn't fit before hitting the walls hit box
Do you have an Xbox server if not have you considered doing one?
Pfffft....
HAhAHA!!!11!
what level can i build this stuff?
Aphectz I think 20
Can Grenades fit through the peep holes?
Tera thing is something ive never seen before nice

Ah, I just now saw that you put walls around them all.
Brilliant Stuff!
I would say that better interior defense dinos would probably be Spiders, Bats and Dilo's, compies if you have enough but thats just my thought process, a Sabre would probably be too big and get stuck in a lot of places
how did you get that creative mode there in single player?
The Archdiocese its a mod
Great vid hodo
thanks man!
Will sotf ever come out for console
yeah i think it will
Apex Trigger L I hope so. You play on Xbox?
Sean Hourican yes sir
this is sick dude
can you shoot arrows through the peep holes?
yep you can
H.O.D GAMING what about grenades. Im curious about this because i use poison grenades
mm interesting i will have to test i think it should be possible
H.O.D GAMING ok and thnx this base'll do a lot for me, and btw you make great videos
Jeffrey Coble thanks heaps really appreciate it!
Why not use double hatch frame and hatch to cover it and put sleeping bags over top of the hatch
what mod r u using?????
great idea
For any of you out there who happen to be running Structures + .....
You can stick a storage box on the ground beneath a foundation and simply pick it back up to access the box.
;)
i really want to play online byt when im close to lvling up someone comes, picks me on their ptera and cages me.. :( any advise? im on xbox thats probs why :(
Dillpikle 31 build in hidden locations
zack martin yes?
Dillpikle 31 try playing server Lost Ark add that host and join
make a bola to bola his bird mod air then get a parachute
Mortar and pestles give you more storage space vs. resources-used-to-build-them than smithies... and you can still walk over them.
yes not a bad idea you could put them up top and jump up i guess
What map is this?
you play on xbox?
What i like to do is make a trapdoor but i put my dung beetle cage over it so when someone raids me they wont destroy the cage so they wont see the trapdoor
Aww almost first great video hodo
aha thanks man gg
all you need is a rpg, and you can say bye bye. for me I think you should hide thatch, wood, and stone base. but what you did was great and I'm not a noob I just like watching these tutorial videos :^).
nice video 😊❤
thanks!
Can you do a higher level example
you could put a hatch under the bed so u dont have to destroy the floor
whats you xb1 server ??
CK Shr3kx gaming wot
This is an early game build(Sniping through bunker cracks with a fabricated sniper rifle) LMAO HOD
+John Smith obviously that was just for example :p
I know just thought it was funny hahaha
I wish the trees were that color on Xbox is there a way?
Couldn't they shoot you threw it too and see what's in your base ? It would be best to have an air lock then make the peep hole over the main door so they can't see what's inside
Over 62,000 people now know your secret.
pretty cool
good to hear :)
+H.O.D GAMING when I get a new laptop I am going to join your server
where can I find this spot ?
You can have more mortar and pestles than storage chest but for the same storage amount
When is the full release of ark for Pc and xbox?
player 1 next year
player 1 april
Love it!
how do you spawn in stuf so easy
Oh man I remember doing this way back on 142 to hide loot from OddSquad
