- You have probably seen wall layering many times - surround your metal foundations with thatch ones, stick some fence foundations on top and slap metal walls on the 4 snap points. But I'm sure you will agree, that method is not too pretty - the walls aren't aligned well, the corners are left open and the door hinges are on 2 different sides.
Here's a method that will solve all those problems and on top of that, with a bit of tweaking will allow up to 6 stacked walls!

Great tutorial easy to follow Keep up the good work!!
Thanks dude :)
Hey
Hellow Aaron
i love this video, no unnecessary talking, no begging for subs and attention, just pure simple tutorial and clear understanding! saw one video and already subscribed, keep being great!
Thanks, glad you think that. And thanks for subscribing :)
It is insane that you don't have more subscribers because the amount of work and dedication that you put into your Videos is insane. Ps love your vid's!!❤️❤️
Thank you very much, I appreciate that :D
I just need to make more videos to get more subs, I only have like 9 or 10 videos.
That and everyone who watches is so dumbstruck that they forget that subbing is even an option.
Still works as of 2023, just that there's a bug going around that makes structures not snap to the highlighted area. Just found you recently after straight up absorbing all the info on building I could find the past week, and this is so much better than the fence method
Keep it up!
Thank you so much, I cant even begin to explain the amount of irritation that the uneven stacked walls gave me! Even the six stacked walls are very visually appealing. Your videos are great and cannot wait to see what you do in the future!
Thanks! It's nice to know there's other PvP'ers out there who care about things looking good, many don't seem to care!
I have seen a lot of building tutorial vids, and this by far has to be one of the best. A lot of folks who make building videos never mention the keys to move pieces. Well done sir and thank your for this video.
Thank you, that was a very nice comment to read! I'm glad you like it :)
*I am getting a lot of questions about stacking foundations and ceilings with this method. You should do both, I will be doing a video on it at some point. You probably already know how to stack foundations so I wont explain that (although there is a method to stack them closer together that I will show). To stack ceilings you can build temporary walls up from each foundation in the stack, snap a ceiling to the top of each. They will be vertically spaced out the same as your foundations.*
Thanks! I came back just to ask about the ceilings but you beat me to it - really looking forward to more videos. You have a very nice production, too bad there aren't more videos - quality over quantity I guess. Anyways keep up the good work! Really looking forward to learn how to 6 layer the ceilings!
Hehe, thank you! Yes, I must increase the quantity though. I've decided to stop playing for a few weeks to focus on videos so hopefully there should be an increase :)
I am having a hell of a time extending the walls and capping them with ceilings. I hope your new video will help with that.
Cilis Moniker I'll do a complete base build at some point, hopefully that will help.
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips can you stack them higer then just one
That’s very smart, so much to learn. After 4 years I finally found this method out 😂
Imagine trying to raid this like
Lol he has a double layer, ez and spending hours busting 4 walls and being like”right you can’t stack over 4” then seeing ANOTHER one.
No matter what uncanny specific thing I need in ark, you have a video for it.
Best layer-wall technique i have seen
Watch this space. This channel is going to blow up. Captain Fatdog these are incredible videos keep it up man.
I hope so 😝
Thanks James!
Your videos are very well made and easy to understand and you have already gone over some of the most problematic topics , if you would get a mic and do it as a voice over it may appeal to more people but either way you have my support from now on .
Thank you, I appreciate that very much :)
I think you are right, this video certainly would have benefited from a voice over. With some of my other videos I don't think it matters as much, some people have even said they prefer the subtitles. Either way, I can't afford a mic right now but it's certainly something I am considering for the future.
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips I actually didn't even notice there was no voice over and liked the video just fine the way it was. A lot of people can ramble on a lot about things I don't care about too, and that gets annoying to the point I will watch videos frequently in 1.5x to 2x speed. Your video was perfectly edited that I didn't feel like any time was wasted with anything pointless like most videos out there, and I felt no need to speed it up like I usually do. Very well done!
I remember when I would try for hours in frustration of trying to layer walls and I began to run out of hope but just when all was lost that's when I learned about the captain fatdog method! And since then no more frustration and now I'm a pro wall layerer!
Glad to hear it XD
This shit ain’t working
Nice one for the shout out my dude also this is a great video
No problem mate! Thanks 😉
;)
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips yo fool first off.....just messing thanks for the video all others are hard to follow due to the person not shutting up and adding an annoying voice that's impossible to pay attention to...yours is simple and straight to the point! appreciate it keep up the good and hard work!
Hehe, thanks Aaron, I know exactly what you mean!
@@captainfatdog all your guide is super great, lol i literally combine all of them together and make a base with all stations hidden, including smithy. lol i don't even need to add door its been there a year and still not raided
Well done, Captian! This is a great video for those of us who hated the messy building methods previously established. (sincere clapping).
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
Your video production skills are great! Really professional and well made, must have taken you ages. What software do you use to edit?
Thanks, yeah this one took a while to make. I use premiere pro and after effects.
I know this type of video is not easy to make but... MAKE MORE VIDEOS ( Sorry if I made some mistakes, I'm not English) You are my hero :')
I've been thinking recently about how i can make more content quicker, i'm going to do some base build videos and stuff I think, they would take less editing.
Your English was perfect by the way :)
Awesome! Keep it up!
Thanks mate :)
You should have way more subscribers. The quality of your videos are superb. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!!! Don't forget to tell your friends to sub then, hehe 😜
Amazing vid, sir. I love the directions and simple follow guide. Subscribed.
Thank you Michael :)
I've been waiting for ages for this video to arrive. :D
Now that i see it, it seems it's based on the layered wall trap, except choosing to stop at 3 each side of the "middle" to get a 6 layered wall in the end. Makes sense. :)
I also note your approach of this technique seems to keep the layered walls at same height, where the one i've seen for the trap had the height getting gradually lower, so yours is arguably superior.
Yes, I've seen the wall trap method used on a few videos but as far as I know, nobody has done a video showing this yet which actually surprises me, it's so simple to do! And like you say the walls are all perfectly level, they don't gradually get lower! I'm looking forward to seeing what others come up with using this.
Yeah, I think onewing was the one that came up with that method. Since then I have seen it used by Voxesto th-cam.com/video/iuOE0EfAxOE/w-d-xo.html and Seerower th-cam.com/video/KYOONq03kRU/w-d-xo.html
Nice vid man. I did a 20 walls thick video a while back and supported them. Video was more as a joke tho as 20 walls is a little expensive lol
Thanks! I saw your video, someone pointed it out to me already. I did 21 😜, have a look twitter.com/captain_fatdog/status/864981300880474112 You are right though, it sure is expensive and the corners are a bit of a problem. As you say, the advantage of going the full thickness of the foundation like that is that it is supported from the inside.
lol yeah you could go 100 thick if you had the patients with it 😂
Voxesto - Plays Games not if the stuff behind the walls is more expensive ... lol
Very nicely edited and made, with well demonstration. Thank you very much.
Cheers buddy ;)
Holy hell. That's awesome, fellow Cap'n! I suppose you could do 4 walls on either side of the foundation, which would give you a total of 8 exterior walls. The foundation would only be used for those walls, then your base foundations would be further in... I might test that, unless you wanna for me :)
Hehe! Yes, there are many possibilities with this. The only issue with doing walls on the outside is that the corners are left open, but go ahead and try it out, let me know what you come up with, you might be able to cover the corners with pillars or something :)
Damn I usually browse through crafting vids but I like the quality a LOT. The explanation is point on and the graphics used make it so much better. Take my like and sub
Glad you like it and thank you very much for the like and the sub :D
yeaaa finally another vid!!
make more☺☺
I will be making much more at a faster rate now that I've got that out of the way :)
great vid. fast and simple yet covers everything. I like how just by adding simple scaffolding there is no guessing and makes all the walls flush. Great Job and great vid.... Subbed 😀
Thanks! Yes, it's so simple, it's surprising that nobody did a video on it before me! And thanks for subbing 😊
I want this person in my tribe right now
This is EXTREMELY useful on PvP, I'm defonitely using this technique. I'm gonna sunscribe for this!
Glad you like it and thanks for subscribing ;)
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips Ey no probs!
You couldn’t of ended the video 1 second sooner tsk tsk tsk. Great video
i watch more pvp raid videos and dont put much effort into building but i still think you have the highest quality ark videos tbh.
Sexy Video, Sexy Technique. Your style of video and ark building skills are fantastic man. Keep this up your going to be big, I would like to suggest you try out a official building guides, something for the small to mid range players. That would be ground breaking, just did a stint on official and the building techniques on it are at least 6 months behind unofficial. Granted its a whole different approach to raiding on both official and unofficial.
Thanks man, means a lot coming from you :)
I've actually been considering doing something like that! You make a good point about doing something for small to mid range players, the game is unbalanced and it would be great to have a part in giving the small guys more chance. 👍
I added on to this Method and made 10 thick walls with 10 ceilings and it was perfectly squared and awesome! It’s a cool method and can get even thicker than 10
Nice! Can you make some PVE Tricks too?
Absolutely, and if you want anything specific, let me know :)
Maybe a base Wall tutorial or something like that ?
You mean like a castle wall with a walkway on top?
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips Exactly!
dude this is the first vid ive seen of urs and im subbing the quality is ridiculously good, i love it also the music choice fuckin props fatdog
Thanks, glad you like it! And thank you for subscribing ;)
Hey Captain, I don’t know if you already share this but I was having a hard time building a 2x2 inside a 4x4 base, each with 4 layers .
I wasn’t able to put the ceiling in the middle sections so I tried with a triangle roof and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for your guides Big Dog
I'm surprised to see other people use this method. I just started playing ark recently and saw videos of the normal method. I didn't like how it was uneven so I spent way too much time trying to figure something else out. I do basically the same thing as you. Definitely going to subscribe to your channel.
That's what I like to hear, someone else who doesn't settle for mediocre! Have you figured out a nice way to stack ceilings yet? I'm going to do a video on that too.
Thanks for the sub ;)
I'll show you how to stack up to 6 foundations, it will be in the same video as the ceilings one ;)
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips I just found a really nice way to stack ceilings yesterday. I will watch your video when it comes out and compare.
Ok, cool, maybe it will be the same, if not you will have to teach me it ;)
Sure thing
So glad I found this. I have been building out of metal just because of it being the strongest right now on PS4 and seeing this method I can make my cute homes even on pvp.
No probs Vanessa, glad it helped 😊
Only the second vid I've watched of yours, subbing. Very clean content.
Thanks for subscribing, much appreciated :D
Omg i really love the way you edit the video 👌 this video really helped me thx
Thanks, glad it could help :D
Thanks, Cap. I built a house with a stone exterior, metal middle piece and adobe interior. Very cool.
Nice, good work!
hey bro amazing video I have been doing it many other ways unlevel and it irritated me, amazing editing, I am a die hard ark PvP fan nearly 3k hours now and I will be using this very soon in a mega base build
i dont usually leave comments, especially tips for ARK, but good tutorial buddy, well done ;)
Thank you very much ;)
Nice quality content. You should make a video on how to best armor foundations so that the 6 layer walls dont have more hp than a tripple foundation. Also something that you might have not known is that if you continued adding walls all the way to 20 walls, the 18th, 19th, and 20th wall will support all of the center walls that got demolished in your video. So if the attacker demolished the outside 4 walls he would have to keep going until he demolished each of the 20 walls individually. However, the attacker would most likely go for the foundation and if the foundation was only a 3 or 4 layer foundation, then he could just demolish the 60k health of 4 foundations instead of the 200k health of 20 walls. I would really like to see a talented youtuber and ark specialist like yourself to make a video on how to make the thickest possible layer of foundations, and how to armor the outside to get maximum protection.
Thanks mate! You are right, 3 foundations aren't enough for 6 walls, I will be doing a video soon on how to stack up to 6 foundations (packed closer together than the traditional 3). Thanks for letting me know about going all the way to 20, I was already aware of it though. I actually made a 21 wall thick base when experimenting for this video, take a look: twitter.com/captain_fatdog/status/864981300880474112 I almost put it in this video but I thought I'd save that one for another day. The answer to the foundation problem in this scenario is not only stacking multiple foundations but also stacking ceilings straight on top of the foundations, ceilings can be stacked much closer together than foundations. You could have 14 ceilings sat on top of 4 foundations. The only problem holding me back from showing it in a video is what to do about the corners, they are another weak spot if the raider hits the walls in the right order. I have a few ideas for it but haven't had chance to test them yet.
Thanks again for your comment, I appreciate the support :)
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips Yeah no problem. Thanks for making a nice video. Whats your gamertag? You should add me and we can talk about it. My gamertag is: Johnnyfoxyblues
Yes for sure, mine is just: captain fatdog
dude you are making such good tutorials :D
keep up with your work bro
Thank you very much! I'm working on a new one right now ;)
you're the best ark builder in the world man keep up the good job 😀!!
Wow, thanks mate :D
Quickest I've ever subbed to anyone, good job.
Haha, thanks ;)
Thanks to this I experimented a bit and I’m pretty sure you can do up to 40 walls thick if you layer 1 full foundation outwards from your base and 1 full foundation inwards
Indeed you can, but don't forget about the foundations and ceilings!
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips yeah I still have yet to master those but these videos help a ton!
@@zackreytownsend2315 Good to hear, thanks!
This is so clear and well laid out! Thank you so much!
No probs, glad you like it ;)
Dude your a legend your vids are some of the best ark related vids in existence ples keep making more stuff you have a Patron ?
Thank you very much Ross, I have plenty more ideas yet :D
I don't have Patreon yet but I have been considering it. I'm just not sure what rewards I could offer.
Didn't know I could flip walls without moving my character, thankyou for the tip. Very helpful.
No problem, its different to the flipping that happens when you move your character though, this one offsets the wall slightly. Although there is a button to cycle through snap points too which does the same as moving your character.
the best explained building vid ever :)
Hehe, thank you ;)
If you place a fence foundation and build this out off the the fence foundation you can build a bigger exterior shell
DUde, this is fucking amazing. I'm so tired of crouching in my base. This also seems much more reliable. Thank you!
Thanks, glad you like it ;)
My man I so love this video so much that I watch it over and over again. I haven't been on in a while cauae a lot of stuff came up but was wondering if you will ever do Conan builds.
Hehe, thank you!
I don't have any plans to do any Conan, doesn't seem to have become a very popular game unfortunately.
Is so beautiful 😥( happy tears) now my OCD has been cured thank you Captain Fatdog!
Haha, glad to hear it!
lol this trick help me a lot. Now, i can hide smithy in foundations. Combining the method of hiding mortar and pestal, foundation rising, and unlimited wall stacking, hiding smithy is now possible.
I hid 10 smithys in a taming trap lol
This is amazing and also when doing 6x layering is that raiseing the thatch foundation
Thanks! Yes, but also offseting it horizontally.
NICE VIDEO i will definitely be using this method also i like how the video was straight and to the point no extra bs and was simply explained you get a sub from me. keep up the good work
Only just saw this comment, I didn't get a notification! Thank you very much :)
Legend 👍 I never knew the flip button
😉
You are so good bro, you deserve a lot more subs, I say you should have at least 900k or 1mil subs
Haha, thanks, that would be nice
Amazing bro, you make it easy to learn 10/10.
Thanks Miguel, much appreciated 😉
Awesome layering technique! I will use this even tho I play pve.. cus its estethically beautiful! GJ man!
Thanks! Never heard of anyone layering walls on PvE, that could be interesting :)
Thanks mate, can you do a video on showing how to make stacked ceilings? Your videos are easy to understand and well made, you got a new sub ;)
Thank you :)
Yes, I will be doing a video on stacked ceilings.
Thanks, no problem you make great content and i'll be looking forward to the new video. You should do a PVP series using all your building skills to your advantage :)
Yeah, I have loads of video ideas but its just a case of getting round to making them! Thanks for your support though, I appreciate it ;)
Yeah, just keep up the good work ;)
good stuff, love the editing.
Thank you :)
Thank you for showing wall flipping controls no one ever does ❤️❤️
;)
;)
;)
dude best tutorial I ever watched
wow, thanks pal ;)
Awesome video!!!
thanks Captain Fatdog!!!
Very well done video, thanks mate
Cheers dude ;)
Really nice quick vid thanks 🙏🏼
amazing new method sir, mega nice clean video also!
thank you!!
thank you sir 😎
Holy crap this is great. I'm have a primitive play character and this strategy will be used. assuming I won't have issues doing this in stone anyway.
I think it works, I will have to test that. The only thing is that the walls are inside out which is more noticeable with stone.
Nice video! I'll be using this on my base
this video got you a new sub. good job on this.
Thank you ;)
Omg thank you so much . I just built 1 and some guy tried raiding it . I literally watched him waste 6 rockets and like 10-15 c4 just to find an empty shell 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, that's hilarious, I wish I saw it!
This video got me back into ARK, thank you
Great work and we'll explained
Nice dude you did it again made an other great video👍
Thank you, glad you like it :D
Great video man, first time I've seen it done this way. Only problem I'm having is when I stack walls in corners it says they're obstructed
Thanks! You should be able to go 7 walls thick before they become obstructed.
Tanks god! I knew this tactic but didnt no how it works with the same high of the walls
lovely well edit video, great job.
Thank you :D
:)
You got yourself a new sub man I also will like.
Thank you very much :D
this tutorial was so well made!
Thanks
Nice methods mate. Might have to employ this in one of my PvP builds. How would you go about doing this with layered foundations? And can you easily stack multiple ceilings on them?
Thanks, hope it goes well for you :)
Just make sure you snap the walls to the top foundation in the stack. The method I suggest for stacking ceilings is to build temporary walls up from each foundation in the stack, then your stick ceilings on top of the walls. That way, the ceilings are spaced out the same as the foundations. I will be doing a video on all that at some point.
So thanks for this great video
Great Tutorial, simple and effective. +1 sub keep up the great work
Thank you! And thanks for subscribing :D
Very nice. Thank you.
you make it look like it's magic. P.s i love your videos
nice art style really cool
Thanks dude ;)
This is amazing!!! Now I can finally defend my poor base! XD
Thanks, hope it works out for you and you don't get raided ;)
Love the video it's helping my tribe a lot! Do you have any tips or could you create a video on how to later ceiling with this wall technique?
Thank you! There's a few tips for layering ceilings in the comments but I will be doing a video on it.
captain fatdog - ARK: Building Tips awesome! Looking forward to it!
Amazing video
Fantastic video great quiality usefull tips.
Use both sides of the foundation and you have a 12 wall thick buffer chamber
Best videos ever.
Really Nice Video!!!!!
Great vid works very well easy to do thank and keep it up
Thanks Ivan, glad you like it 😉
Nice! One thing though, you seem to have misspelled possible around the halfway mark. Too late to fix it, but be more aware next video! Love the content!!!!!
Oops, thats so annoying, I knew I should have spell checked!
Thanks :)
