*Ammendment. Large crop plots produce the same crop yield as medium and smaller plots.
So what is the point in larger crop plots?
Also my plots say they're full of water but are not irrigated, do I just need more taps?
@@kieranmitchell5088 Larger crop plots can hold a max of more crops. A small crop plot can hold a max of 50, a medium can hold 100 and a large can hold 150
@Sopotat ah so it makes them at the same rate but holds more overall?
@@kieranmitchell5088 yea they both grow at the same speed but with the larger ones you have to harvest the crops to make room for more way less
And you can fit more fertilizer inside the bigger crop plots
Three more things for farming tutorial:
-the only reason you would tame phiomia is bc they can fill your base with shit in no time, you just have to hold E on the berries in their inventory (i think)
-iguanodon can transform all berries into their seeds
-dung beetle can be used for making fertilizer
If you're playing on PC, I use a Plateosaurus from the Additional Creatures 2: Wild Ark mod. It makes Narcotics automatically in it's inventory without the need for spoiled meat. Another nice addition for the farming squad. Also I enjoy a weight spec'd Therizinosaurus as a wood harvester (Power) & another for rare flowers/fiber (Delicate Harvest). I clear the trees with the Therizino as it does not harvest the plants. That way my berry collector(s)/Plant collector(s) can come in and harvest away without getting unnecessary thatch and wood weighing their inventory down.
very underrated, you’re a natural at the whole idea of a really good and experienced content creator.
Thank you for the kind words!
i agree !!
If you put your honey on a fishing rod it completely pauses the spoil timer. The only downside is that each fishing rod weighs 10.0, I just have a vault of fishing rods next to where i keep my hives.
When you go into your inventory, there’s buttons at the top (where you would find engrams) the second to last button is a taming tracker. If you can feed the bee at least once you can track her
You have the perfect voice and attitude for this you are very entertaining hope you keep making these for ASA im new to Ark and youve been a big help
i love this beginners series i play ark since this week and it helped me a lot greetings from belgium🔥
Greetings from the UK! So glad that the series is proving to be useful :)
Are you playing pvp, cause if you are you can join the server we are on and join our tribe (if you play pc)
Otters are great and their babies are so adorable 😍
This guide has helped me soooo much. Can't wait for the kibble episode cause honestly I'm tired of wasting so much time waiting around for a dino to finifh taming and the wiki isn't really straight forward like your videos.
Nice video! Thanks for helping!🥰🥰
easy to listen to. very rare quality. subscribed and hoping to see the ascended videos
This is my first time watching your videos. Very impressed..a new subscriber.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Great tutorial thanks!
This is great!
The game has a tame tracker once you first feed the bee you can see it with that.
Just subscribed. Nice video.
Love the video and I know I'm late (video came out 8 months ago lol)
Just an extra tip goodie, if you build the greenhouse 3 high you get the maximum effect from the greenhouse.
I'm a little late with this, but while I watched your stream for this videos grind work I wanted to say you can change the intensity of the lights, so they're not so bright! Walk up to them, hold down the on/off key (it's y for me on xbox) and you get an option wheel. High is the default, but you can change it to medium or low.
I didn't know that, thank you! I put a bit too many lights down so the base is too bright at night for sure
I bet it will be just right once you dim them down a bit 👍
I just want to iterate exactly how important the ghillie suit is... Don't even try without the suit because you will end up feeling defeated and it will take hours. trust fam!
100%! Something I forgot to add is the importance of wearing Ghillie whilst harvesting the honey from the hive (once domesticated) to avoid taking damage.
I also remember watching you tame a bee on Aberration for hours Ray 🤣
Your guides have been very helpful. One question: what's the benefit of putting a bee hive in a greenhouse? does it speed up honey production?
No benefit for production it's just an aesthetic thing for me 😊
More content please
Just a quick tips if you use a ladder to place the crop plots they will always be straight and in the centre of the foundations.
How do you mean? Place a ladder on the greenhouse wall, grab onto it and place a plot while standing on the ladder?
@@lennyadelaide4795 yes just make sure you have the crop plot out first if you’re on console. To make it easier only build two sides of the walls. The ladder will alway snap to the middle of a foundation.
So the bees will sting you even if you own the hive/the Queen? So
You have to have ghille armor and bug repellent every time you want to harvest?
It actually works in the aberration cave on valguero and you can also stack crop plots I think 4 high
Aberration is an expectation they made, I guess because it's impossible to live on the surface on that map XD
I really love your base, could you link the twitch stream it was made on?? I’d love to see it for inspo 😭

I'm streaming No Man's Sky and Starfield this week, but I'll be starting a brand new series from The Island map when Ark Survival Ascended comes out in October :)
@@MissVadams10 queen never gatekeeps 💛
Brilliant, I hadn't worked out bees - been wondering how to get honey for kilbbles!
I started out putting berries in crop plots, and I understand why you have prioritised veg, just wondering if you think it is useful to set up narcoberries quite quickly to help with making narcotics in bulk, or is it just quicker to use a dino?
Person ally, I think it's more efficient to use a Stego or Bronto for berry gathering compared with growing them
I always grow some 🤷♂️ but they're not hard to gather with a dino. Totally personal preference.
I know it's a bit late, but from what I have read. The only difference in crop plots is what they can grow, not how much they can grow. So you're better off with small berries, medium for veggies a d large for plant species x/y/z. I could be wrong.
I made an amendment a while back which is pinned to comments.
I usually build larger crop plots anyway for aesthetic purposes and in case I want to house plant species Z down the line :)
Omg I thought that crops were permanently placed in plots once seeded.
@@lennyadelaide4795you can remove the seed and it will come back if you don’t completely remove the crop, I think you can do that through the radial menu. I took one out by accident when I searched for the plant and then clicked remove all because the seed has the same name but it wouldn’t let me put the seed back because it was already fixing the problem.
Wow, if i was the 1 in the woods trying to get the queen, I would have had the whole Ark world coming down on me. 😂
How did you place the crop plots on the foundations. It just says they are obstructed.
Have you got object collision turned off on server settings? If it is on that might be the problem
I seriously thought Cryo pods worked like pokeballs and at first I tried to use them to catch wild dinosaurs… especially after watching my BF play Pal World 🤦♀️ thanks for the reference lol that was amusing.
Oh my goodness I hope you didn't get eaten too many times trying that 😆
@@MissVadams10 haha fortunately not, but I did learn that they don’t like that pretty quickly. Good learning experience for me, I play on private servers with creative mode on but I definitely will remember if I get that far on the mobile version of the game.
I really like your base could you link the twitch stream where you made it so that i could get some inspo please.
Sure, m.twitch.tv/missvadams :) I usually stream Ark once or twice a week alongside some other survival games
Is the steam still up? I would like to see how it was made
The toilet works better for fertilizer
When I'm first starting out I prefer the composter as it's a passive way to produce fertiliser, but the toilet is another option for sure. Once I'm in a position to go caving, I will switch dung beetles 😊
If you throw honey out at the Leedsichthys AKA the boat destroying whale it will leave you alone for 20 seconds for a safe getaway.
How could you place some of the large crop plots through the walls? Cause mine arnt doing that… reaaaaaally annoying
You will need to make sure that the clipping structures setting is turned on. You will only be able to do this if you are playing single player or are admin on an unofficial server
hi im a little late to this, but i love your base and was wondering how your foudnations all lines up with the ground so well? like why did your foundations to the greenhouse go inside the ground? Id like to achieve the same thing. great guides also!
I was able to achieve this by having clipping structures turned on, but it was quite fiddly and took some time :)
@@MissVadams10 thank you! Also I was trying to find your stream to see how you did it but I can’t seem to find it in your videos.. are these ark streams up for watching? :)
@@ivy_bond I stream over on Twitch at twitch.tv/MissVadams
I will be streaming Ark Survival Ascended over there in exactly 2.5 hours time :)
@@MissVadams10 good to know, I might swing by! ^^ but are these old ark streams still up for me to watch on twitch?
@@ivy_bond the old ones sadly not no, Twitch only lets me keep vods for 60 days
I heard you can play Ark with RTX, do you know anything about that? I was under the impression that there would be a setting on the game but it must be a mod or something. On the list of games with RTX, Ark was definitely on there though. I just came back to the game yesterday after a few years break.
What kind of graphics card do you have? I have an RTX 3080 and I'm able to launch Ark through steam with it using the graphics card if thats what you mean? You can also launch the GForce app on your PC and select ARK from within the app to launch the game.
Your guy will be well-placed in their self-sufficiency with a greenhouse. I’m curious as to why honey is the next go-to product, though. Do you have a giant Winnie the Pooh in your menagerie?
Well the bear I have does eat honey, but it's better used in making kibble, which is a Dino taming super food :)
Ah - Sid the cat would appreciate that development.
Honey is needed to make vegetable cake AND extraordinary kibble. Harvesting from a bee hive with a bear only gets you 15 honey, at most. Also it expires fairly quickly so it pays to have a good source nearby!
Where do you find citronal?
If you are on The Island, Citronal must been grown inside of crop plots from Citronal seeds that can be farmed from bushes. The only official map they can be found growing in the wild is Fjordur.
2:57 how do you put your foundation from high to low?
If you want to sink your foundations lower there is a few tricks you can try but here all I did was snap a foundation to another existing one which was holding the base wall up which makes the greenhouse foundations snap slightly lower in the ground. Snapping foundations to make the wall of my base required the use of clipping and using K mode to snap foundations underground.
@@MissVadams10 after a bit of messing around with pillars I got it to work but thanks anyway. but I'm still having problems with building in this way. also what's clipping and how do you use k mode. (pc) thanks so much for replying btw. your videos are amazing.
@@25siesta Thank you for the kind words! The pillar method is great, I use that to sink foundations into a raft.
If you're playing single player or running your own server make sure to have the 'clip structures' setting on. That will allow you to clip structures into each other and into the ground. If you hit 'K' on PC, it gives you a wider view which is really helpful for building. You can tilt your camera in certain instances allowing you to snap foundations underground, but it can be a bit fiddly.
@@MissVadams10 alright thanks so much for the help 🙏
How are your greenhouse windows so clear, mine are terrible and reflect as if Im floating and looking down a mountain.
I have no idea, sorry!
Large crop plots don't produce larger yields. And composter is the worst way to make fertilizer. Great video, though.
I always thought they produce a higher yield but you're right, it's the same as smaller plots, but the larger plots can house various plants that smaller ones can't. As for the composter, if you're just starting out in the game, this is the easiest way to get passive fertiliser production going until you tame a dung beetle (mentioned in the vid).
Really liked the video and learned a good bit
But man that Honey has such a short spoil time, or any at all, is really dumb
Yeah it spoils stupidly quick, especially considering irl honey lasts for thousands of years supposedly!
If you have learned the preserving salt engram from Scorched Earth, you can extend the timer on the honey, or popping it into a dinos inventory will extend it slightly too.
Iv only found that there is no queen when you collect the honey first but might just be my luck
Luckily with the remastered version (ASA) this isn't an issue anymore. Bees even spawn outside the hive sometimes making it a lot easier to get one
@@MissVadams10 that sounds even better 👍
Owl pellets are way better for fertilizer... so you don't have to have the nasty looking compost bin with flys lol😂
This guide was done on the Island in single player so no Snow Owls sadly. They are my favourite dino in the whole game though!
Does anyone know any good base build for this area
Check out Aron Longstaff's Tree House tutorial :)
What costs more resources slope or flat good video
Where can i find cristals without been eten by a rex...???
If you're just starting out and you have spawned in somewhere along the south beach, I would recommend heading to the small mountain at coordinates 75 47. Raptors and Dilos spawn here, but no Rex's :)
@@MissVadams10 i was close by the red obelisk where i found the rex, at 79,13...what about sleepingbags, every time i use one to go to a other one my stuff's gone...
See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
You wrote me a poem!?
@@MissVadams10 I Googled a poem or maybe it's a song. That still counts right?
100%
That casual alpha raptor sitting there gave me ptsd
I like to live life on the edge 😆
How rare is it to get a queen bee spawn i have cleared out the redwood forest two times and i still haven't found one im starting to think queen bees dont exist in ark 😭
They have become pretty rare sadly! It took me several hours of checking hives to find mine. If you're on single player or running your own server you could try a dino wipe (cheat destroywilddinos), which will also wipe the queen bees. This can be useful if you have exhausted all of the easy to reach hives.
@@MissVadams10 might be a bit late for the info but if you do a dino wipe also wipe the hives with "destroyall beehive_c 1" if not the empty beehives will just sit around the map never spawning an other queen. I suggest always wiping beehives if your gonna do a dinowipe as well
Ironic that the honey has such a short expiry time given that honey is a preservative
Yeah this annoys me a lot!
I cannot believe I have been wasting my medium and large poops in the compost bin. Thank you so much!!!
