Sorry for this video going for so long, I hope the regulars know that I have to cover everything every time or I'm asked the same questions every time.
This video is perfect. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Your videos are excellent. I appreciate how you don't follow the trend. Which is to say, you don't start the video off with 15 minutes of yammering, making the viewer wade through several minutes of forced, fake, annoying "shenanigans" and pretending what you're doing is far more fun/interesting than it is while also pretending to be having more fun than you actually are. No. You, Sir, offer straight up, no nonsense tutorials and spotlight/opinion pieces while managing to be charming and well spoken. I appreciate you and your videos very much. I'm also beginning to watch your videos from the other channel you use. I know a lot of hunters and outdoorsman. I will be recommending your other channel. Thank you. As a side note, it gave me a smile when I sorted out why you call yourself xONEWINGx. Clever and admirable. You're a mad cunt.
Kimiko Tanaka omg dude I was thinking the complete same thing. All the other you tubers would act like "WHATS UP WE ARE BAAAACK OMG LOOK AT THIS SUPER COOL ALPHA REX HUNTING BOAT WOOOOOOOOOO" which annoys me so much because it's clear that they fake it. I agree with you
funny thing is, the videos actually are fun... and probably ASMR bait, lmao. But seriously, I could watch his tuts all day, just for the sheer joy of watching him put stuff together while speaking somewhere between crocodile dundee's and bob ross' teaching style...
my first alpha kill story was me and a few friends cruising around on our raft about a week after the game launched on xbox ... none of us had seen an alpha rex yet. but there it was off the shore , we shot at it with bows and couldnt kill it , losing many men. so we retreated to our boat. the alpha gave chase. we were just barely outrunning him on our boat! but eventually he drowned and we claimed our victory over the beast. was like a scene from jaws!
Why can't everyone follow your example when making videos?! Simple, no screaming like a wedding DJ, no obnoxious music... you're like the Bob Ross of TH-cam ARK Tutorials. Subscribed!
I don't know if stone works for alpha rex anymore. The USS Hunter had to be honorably discharged because an alpha rex ate it.... Worked wonders up till that point I made a flat version and put your secret compartments along with it. It was absolutely packed with loot and nobody even gave it a second glance. So thanks for your amazing tutorials!
I wish I would have found your videos sooner, you would have saved me a lot of hassle. I didnt even know you could do all those tricks with pillars and foundations. Thanks a million!
Thank you very much for making these videos. I have learned so much usefull things from you. I like the short, no nonsense, to the point way you deliver information. I absolutely do not mind that you repeat things from earlier videos, as those things need to be in, to make the video complete. I was happy to see you show how to use pillars alone, for sinking the foundations as I have been using that method myself, but still learned som new things about that. cheers
Can confirm that the boat still works for raptors and carnos at 2 deep. However even at five deep it no longer works for alpha trex, whilst they can not climb up the back it still works in that sense that they get stuck but they are not immobilised, they will now be higher elevated and their head is now way above the foundations instead of the head pretty much inside the foundations. Because of this they will now sit at the back eating up all the foundations. I managed to kill one but my boat was wrecked at the back. I'd love to hear any ideas for altering it, even if motorboat extra item limit is needed.
Thanks. Built it like a charm. Only thing I learned the hard way, was the floating foundations at the back can't be replaced. They need to be torn down and re-placed with the roof method. Also, I found out that if you're at limit and you want to replace a stone foundation with a metal one, it won't let you. It thinks it's adding another piece instead of replacing it.Otherwise, I'm out to find some alphas later!
As of 253.31, this works, though it's *very* important to get the initial 3x3 foundation placement right. I made one where I didn't put the pillar as far back from the mast as I could, and that didn't work. Alphas would like get lodged in the barricade and I couldn't damage them. After rebuilding it, following the video much more closely, it works. So just know before you start, absolutely get the placement of the first pillar exactly as described in the video, as that shifts the barricade's distance away from the rudder and apparently matters a great deal.
if you want to water plants without having to wait for the rain though ( say your on a tight schedule) you can remote use water skins and jugs in the plot to add irrigation value. unless this changed sometime recently i remember that working. only ever really saves you half an hour to an hour though

So, being a noob i got fooled by these 'build tutorials' at first, not knowing they are mostly done with mods i started thinking building an epic HQ would be quick and easy. instead, what came quick was a lack of storage space, and resources. And how much weight one could carry became a huge problem. I've learned my lesson, start small and renovate often.
One improvement I would make is to put the door of the boat to one of the sides that way if anyone lands or swims up and starts hitting the door with a hatchet they will be in direct line of fire of one of the plant. The way the door is now it looks like they can just run up to the door crouch and hatchet away safely. Also I would remove the door in the back completely.
Thank You Mr Onewing ,your Alpha Hunter Raft Vid saved me and my tames we were being terrorized by a Alpha Carno and he killed me numerous times but I took the time to build a basic version and it worked perfectly I deaded him in about 30 seconds with a pike. P.S. I'm on ps4 and this was Xmas Day so it definitley works still and works on PS4. thx again Happy Holidays!!
I play on PS4 and have the same problem with the walls freaking out when I try and place them. not sure if it works on Xbox but on ps4 if you are standing on the floor you want the wall to snap too and look almost straight down where you can only barely see the wall it will snap to the floor you want it to without the freaking out. love your raft builds I built myself the expedition and will definitely build this one!
I love your builds i use your build style to build more bouts and bases thank u so much i have subed to your channel u have a very soothing voice for builds i have probably addad 20 vids to your build videos because i use them as guides
When I do the line of 3 thatched roofs at the back of the rudder at 2:50 the middle one wont stay up so I am unable to place the foundation underneath it
Love your designs! I've made a few of them now, and used the ideas as the basis of a few of my own builds. I made a metal version of this based on a motorboat, added two extra plant X wings on each side and a "flying bridge" with plant X on a 2 high pillar at the front. One question, I made one of these using your design. I wanted to replace the stone with metal, and it worked until I got to the rear sloped ceilings. They seem to snap lower then the stone, you have to crouch to get passed the tiller. Any suggestions?
I love your builds and have been watching every one you make. you've made my game much better! one suggestion, I wish you'd put a suggested parts list on the description. "you'll need 100 walls, 10 doors, 10 ramps, etc" I'll watch the video over and over and draw it on graph paper so I can budget my build time, but if you left a "recipe" it would save me time :) otherwise, keep up the amazing work.
awesome videos thanks man. seen your design on my world and went looking on TH-cam and found you. currently building your expedition and transport raft.
i think i did something slightly off. when i put the row of three sloped ceilings on there is a slight gap for two out of the three and i cant for the love of me figure out what happened. i had to dissect my boat and use fly/ghost but i still cant figure out what went wrong to cause that gap.
I think one problem with this would be sharks wandering around and interrupting your operation. But it seems luring Alpha's of any kind into the sea is probably the best tactic for an easy kill.
Great build. probably bit of a hassle,but could be nice if you wrote in at the beginning or end how many foundations,walls etc. goes into it or in the descrition even.
Rocket turret is impractical. The ammo is not the kind of thing you waste to kill alpha dinos. If you try to kill an alpha rex using that rocket turret you will eventually blow up the front part of the raft. Even on the endgame raft, ballista is a better option, because it wont cause collateral damage, and you can reuse the ammo.
Used your guide to build a stone boat, works great. I recently built a metal one, and noticed you can see the raft base through the metal foundations. Any danger to apparently exposing the raft with metal foundations?
Came across this and loved the design. replicated it and had issues snapping the balista in place, gave up after to re-attempts but it worked. only issue I have now is I can't get the bed and smithy down as it said I reached my building limit. but unsure how. any ideas?
I just built the carrier boat and it's awesome. I used stone for the foundation and did all the rest in metal. How would you recommend modifying that boat if I want to add a generator and turrets?
Just finished building this and I'm 3 pieces short somehow , couldn't place ind.grill, mortar and pestil or preserving bin , did total number of pieces change with patch that allowed us to snap foundations under thatch roofs? Also wanted to say thank you , your raft guides are very helpful and easy to follow.
Yeah I probably did , I ended up changing an entry way around a bit to make it work. Plan on making another out of metal anyhow , I'll remember to do plants at the end. Thanks again .
Confirmed working in summer 2020. There are easier ways to lower the foundations, but the concept of the boat is up to date. I got rid of two annoying alpha Raptors while still being low level and fairly new to the game.
also i was wondering if you could design a mobile house boat thats livable and midly defendable i have my own designs based off yours but curious on your ideas
Love the video, built mine exactly like it. I was able to walk under the ceiling above the back door no problem, but once I installed the ballista turret I have to crouch to get under it. Any thoughts as to how to fix this?
Great video as always one wing, you found it hard to put that bed straight because you were in the way psst. If you want something straight but your in the way for you to place it press a on xbox and rotate it using your thumbsticks
i stop playing as well when my base got raided im still new. hard to wrap my head around this game im lvl 4ish on xb1 sever 11ukofficial. been robbed. raided twice rebuilt then raided.
+sylence Lvl 426, 1000 hours put into a base, had around 15 lvl 300 Giga's, couple dragons and a few Gods. Raided by the biggest tribe on the map, ended in about 25 minutes :/
Great videos! Question for everyone, I'm on survival+ and attempting to build down but I'm getting an obstruction message. The foundation is snapping but won't place. I'm using cement foundations if that helps at all? Also I've put an extra pillar up and down twice but no change (and I'm in deep water). Thanks in advance!
when I place the hatchframe it just goes into the ceiling rather than replacing it. So I just end up with a ceiling and a hatchframe in the same spot, but the ceiling is untargetable and I can only demolish the hatchframe or the balista.
It holds the dinos at the back and stops the alphas from swimming underneath the boat biting up through it. For alpha raptor and carno you only need the back 2 foundations high, but for alpha rex its 5.
Any chance you can show how to build that underwater compartment? I've tried a few ways and it either ends up much lower or too close to the raft. I'm playing on an official primitive server and it would be a great addition to my carrier I use as my base. Your hidden cashes video has also been a great help, I'm using several ideas from that one. Thanks.
You mentioned obstruction while moving through your boat. I'm experiencing that now on my second expedition boat and I have to crouh to move around, but I didn't have that issue last summer. I used the old method of lowering the foundation, is that the issue?
Onewing have you noticed that on our p+ server that the redwoods are completely dead? almost no animals at are spawning there. I wonder if this is just a p+ glitch or what.
I don't really know, there has been a lot of building going on in that server. We don't really do anything there anymore, I log in every now and then to refresh things but that is all.
Wow I built that big fancy taming pin just across black beach and then the spawns got nerfed. I have not seen a dire bears in the redwoods in over 3 weeks.
Just tried this today and it does not work. The part after you put the pillar down to extend the bottom the raft using foundations, it wont let you says its obstructed. I tried on both sides with wood and stone pillars, tried concrete and stone foundation.
I figured out the problem, if you use concrete foundations for the top you wont be able to snap other foundations to the bottom, it has to be all done in stone for that part of the raft.
Carnos and raptors are super easy! Step 1 get a bunch of bio toxins and narcos. Step 2 get a high level pteranodon. Make sure it has good damage. Step 3 find an alpha and start chip its health off. wont take long if your pteranodon does dmg 60 dmg and above recommended. Step 4 make sure your pteranodon does not kill it or else your pteranodon will get exp. Except if your max and you want to up it. Explanation pteranodon is very small agile and a pretty good attack speed It has bad health so i recommend bringing some meat for force feed It will only take 10s of minutes to kill it, depending on lvl, the carno i killed was lvl 90 and only do this trick if you cant find a high and safe spot to shoot it. Or the raft trick
That's how low it must be to stop alpha rex from going under the boat and biting up through it, it also has the added bonus of preventing the leeds from attacking the moving boat.
I've only recently started playing Ark and man these video's you have made have been extremely helpful. One question though. With the addition of the whales...can they destroy metal boats?
Yes they can but it will take a long time and the motor boat can easily outrun it. Don't park it in deep water though and fixing it is expensive if it does get hit.
Xonewing, some videos I would like to see are weapons comparison, most DPS etc; and DLC content! thnx and love all the strategic videos for ark survival, can videos be more often?

Alpha dinos cant drown
they can, one got stuck under iceburg and drowned for me
Is it really claiming victory if you didn't kill it? Sounds like you were robbed
Help! What do I do I have two alpha raptors coming out of the Forrest metres from my base. I don’t know what to do...
Zach you’re probably dead, but you could lead them away with a flyer

omg i just managed to finish making this by looking at ur design over and over again from the xp video and u uploaded the tutorial XD

Also can you use a dino door as the back barricade(metal or reinforced) under water instead of the 6 foundations?
Thanks. Built it like a charm. Only thing I learned the hard way, was the floating foundations at the back can't be replaced. They need to be torn down and re-placed with the roof method.

The best raft in the game! Seriously that creation on the raft is the best I've seen. Also great video :)

GREAT tutorial video!!! Can you do a tutorial video on the trapping boat?
love your boat builds and use then where ever I go..I will try this..thank you man..keep the videos coming I'm happy to see new ones!
Can't attach under the thatch ceiling on mobile. Am I doing it wrong?
Dude, love the raft builds. keep em coming!
Cool was wanting to make a shark cage. Trying to figure out how to lower it.
So, being a noob i got fooled by these 'build tutorials' at first, not knowing they are mostly done with mods i started thinking building an epic HQ would be quick and easy. instead, what came quick was a lack of storage space, and resources. And how much weight one could carry became a huge problem. I've learned my lesson, start small and renovate often.

Can you find a way to higher a foundation. then you can use your old methood for quick placement of foundation under the boat then higher it up.
You are a literal genius, this games building is so fucked up I hate building in it but you make it so fun and interesting:D
I love your builds i use your build style to build more bouts and bases thank u so much i have subed to your channel u have a very soothing voice for builds i have probably addad 20 vids to your build videos because i use them as guides
I like this kind of tutorials :D
Im not english, ty btw hahaha
Please make a design for a war raft with automatic turrets, this raft would be used for stationary base defense protecting an island base
you cant put autoturrets on anything mobile anymore. not platform saddles or rafts.
clayton mcmullen you can on rafts, i have a raft with active autoturrets on an official server
oh, i guess its only platform saddles.
clayton mcmullen yeah only platform saddles
camron Crosby thanks.
Is it known why only thatch ceilings allow placing foundations under them and not other ceilings?
How do you do the floating foundation in your original design pal? Top vid again
When I do the line of 3 thatched roofs at the back of the rudder at 2:50 the middle one wont stay up so I am unable to place the foundation underneath it
Can you show how to do the floating barrier featured in the other vid that saves pieces?
Love your designs! I've made a few of them now, and used the ideas as the basis of a few of my own builds. I made a metal version of this based on a motorboat, added two extra plant X wings on each side and a "flying bridge" with plant X on a 2 high pillar at the front.
One question, I made one of these using your design. I wanted to replace the stone with metal, and it worked until I got to the rear sloped ceilings. They seem to snap lower then the stone, you have to crouch to get passed the tiller. Any suggestions?
Great video, yo. I'm using your double taming boat raft design for my base, works super well. Changed a few things on it, but otherwise 10/10.
I just built this boat and couldn't fin any alphas, great tutorial, keep up the good work,
Could you use a dinosaur gate to close them in and keep them from running away? Like the raptor did..
I love your builds and have been watching every one you make. you've made my game much better! one suggestion, I wish you'd put a suggested parts list on the description. "you'll need 100 walls, 10 doors, 10 ramps, etc" I'll watch the video over and over and draw it on graph paper so I can budget my build time, but if you left a "recipe" it would save me time :) otherwise, keep up the amazing work.
awesome videos thanks man. seen your design on my world and went looking on TH-cam and found you. currently building your expedition and transport raft.
i think i did something slightly off. when i put the row of three sloped ceilings on there is a slight gap for two out of the three and i cant for the love of me figure out what happened. i had to dissect my boat and use fly/ghost but i still cant figure out what went wrong to cause that gap.
@xONEWINGx I dont know if i missed it, but why's the foundation of the boat not completely level with the raft?
cant get the foundation just under the rudder so I can drive the raft, it snaps just a bit higher
I think one problem with this would be sharks wandering around and interrupting your operation. But it seems luring Alpha's of any kind into the sea is probably the best tactic for an easy kill.
How about a alpha Leedsichthys killing boat?
Does this still work? With stacking the foundations and such? Or was it patched
Great build.
probably bit of a hassle,but could be nice if you wrote in at the beginning or end how many foundations,walls etc. goes into it or in the descrition even.
I cant get the stone foundation to place under the thatch roof. what may i be doing wrong?
Rocket turret is impractical. The ammo is not the kind of thing you waste to kill alpha dinos. If you try to kill an alpha rex using that rocket turret you will eventually blow up the front part of the raft. Even on the endgame raft, ballista is a better option, because it wont cause collateral damage, and you can reuse the ammo.
This is true, although miniguns kill wild dinos now (at one time they didn't) so you could go that route.
Used your guide to build a stone boat, works great.
I recently built a metal one, and noticed you can see the raft base through the metal foundations.
Any danger to apparently exposing the raft with metal foundations?
Thomas Hewitt no the gaps in the base act as solid.
Wonderful! Hello, endgame!
Came across this and loved the design. replicated it and had issues snapping the balista in place, gave up after to re-attempts but it worked. only issue I have now is I can't get the bed and smithy down as it said I reached my building limit. but unsure how. any ideas?
I just built the carrier boat and it's awesome. I used stone for the foundation and did all the rest in metal. How would you recommend modifying that boat if I want to add a generator and turrets?
Just finished building this and I'm 3 pieces short somehow , couldn't place ind.grill, mortar and pestil or preserving bin , did total number of pieces change with patch that allowed us to snap foundations under thatch roofs? Also wanted to say thank you , your raft guides are very helpful and easy to follow.
It the same as far as I'm aware. Did you grow the plants before placing the final items?
Yeah I probably did , I ended up changing an entry way around a bit to make it work. Plan on making another out of metal anyhow , I'll remember to do plants at the end. Thanks again .
I kinda understand why the Rocket Turrets are placed on end-game stuff, but isn't the Minigun much more effective against creatures?
Confirmed working in summer 2020.
There are easier ways to lower the foundations, but the concept of the boat is up to date.
I got rid of two annoying alpha Raptors while still being low level and fairly new to the game.
xbox just updated to 749.3 yesterday, looks like you cant stack the foundations anymore with pillars :(
Yeh, still working for me today.
also i was wondering if you could design a mobile house boat thats livable and midly defendable i have my own designs based off yours but curious on your ideas
in the description can u put a list of the total materials used
Love the video, built mine exactly like it. I was able to walk under the ceiling above the back door no problem, but once I installed the ballista turret I have to crouch to get under it. Any thoughts as to how to fix this?
can you do a video with quetz platform? I have a hell of a time lowering on dino platforms
Great video as always one wing, you found it hard to put that bed straight because you were in the way
psst. If you want something straight but your in the way for you to place it press a on xbox and rotate it using your thumbsticks
Subbed, nice video. That voice could make a wolverine purr.
your videos have been extremely helpfull to a new player thanks dude
I had to stop playing ark, but I still love your videos :) Merry Christmas man!
Merry Christmas to you too mate.
i stop playing as well when my base got raided im still new. hard to wrap my head around this game im lvl 4ish on xb1 sever 11ukofficial. been robbed. raided twice rebuilt then raided.
+sylence Lvl 426, 1000 hours put into a base, had around 15 lvl 300 Giga's, couple dragons and a few Gods.
Raided by the biggest tribe on the map, ended in about 25 minutes :/
Great videos! Question for everyone, I'm on survival+ and attempting to build down but I'm getting an obstruction message. The foundation is snapping but won't place. I'm using cement foundations if that helps at all? Also I've put an extra pillar up and down twice but no change (and I'm in deep water). Thanks in advance!
Finally got it. Had to make sure the roof was snapped to the back piece and not the walkway piece.
Would a design like this work against a Giga or is their bite distance too long? I have one I need to get rid of . . .
your tutorials are so awesome, thank you very much!
You're insane. In a good way! I'll make sure to utilize this in the future.
when I place the hatchframe it just goes into the ceiling rather than replacing it. So I just end up with a ceiling and a hatchframe in the same spot, but the ceiling is untargetable and I can only demolish the hatchframe or the balista.
It'll be possible, you just need to find the same snap point you used when placing the ceiling, replace the ceiling on the side and try again.
how did you put the smithy under the flat top boat at the end?
was something changed because alpha rex seems to attack the foundations
So on carno island for me it's just hundreds of raptors and like 2 carnos at most no alpha anything? Any ideas
hey ive been missing your vids, would like to see your stuff more often if its at all possible :D
I love your ark vids! you've changed my gameplay and my building in a lot of games. please keep it up! do you have plans on any other games?
Excellent tutorial. :D But what was the point of extending the back end down like 3 or 4 blocks? What does that do?
It holds the dinos at the back and stops the alphas from swimming underneath the boat biting up through it. For alpha raptor and carno you only need the back 2 foundations high, but for alpha rex its 5.
Do you have a video for killing alpha squids with a raft?
Awesome build I'm getting ready to try it out myself. Any idea how well it would work against a giga?
awesome video, been waiting for this one
Does it have to be stone for the starting pillar and ground? Could i use wood
Any chance you can show how to build that underwater compartment? I've tried a few ways and it either ends up much lower or too close to the raft. I'm playing on an official primitive server and it would be a great addition to my carrier I use as my base. Your hidden cashes video has also been a great help, I'm using several ideas from that one. Thanks.
Yeh I'll try do it tonight
xONEWINGx thank you very much.
stuff like this is why I still have love for vanilla walls and foundations. It's really hard to build any of this with the S+ stuff :D
Eto Hige Gamer Culture y?
b/c S+ stuff is made to not be able to do any of this on purpose.
You mentioned obstruction while moving through your boat. I'm experiencing that now on my second expedition boat and I have to crouh to move around, but I didn't have that issue last summer. I used the old method of lowering the foundation, is that the issue?
What material? The obstruction I mentioned was only under the ballista.
I think at the beginning of the video you should put the materials required. Like 4 stone walls 3 stone doorframes and etc.
why cant i find the lowest snap point over the rudder...???
could you please do an alpha mossasaur killing raft if its possible ?
Onewing have you noticed that on our p+ server that the redwoods are completely dead? almost no animals at are spawning there. I wonder if this is just a p+ glitch or what.
I don't really know, there has been a lot of building going on in that server. We don't really do anything there anymore, I log in every now and then to refresh things but that is all.
Wow I built that big fancy taming pin just across black beach and then the spawns got nerfed. I have not seen a dire bears in the redwoods in over 3 weeks.
Just tried this today and it does not work. The part after you put the pillar down to extend the bottom the raft using foundations, it wont let you says its obstructed. I tried on both sides with wood and stone pillars, tried concrete and stone foundation.
I figured out the problem, if you use concrete foundations for the top you wont be able to snap other foundations to the bottom, it has to be all done in stone for that part of the raft.
It won't let me do the back part underwater, any advice?
Carnos and raptors are super easy!
Step 1 get a bunch of bio toxins and narcos.
Step 2 get a high level pteranodon. Make sure it has good damage.
Step 3 find an alpha and start chip its health off. wont take long if your pteranodon does dmg 60 dmg and above recommended.
Step 4 make sure your pteranodon does not kill it or else your pteranodon will get exp. Except if your max and you want to up it.
Explanation pteranodon is very small agile and a pretty good attack speed
It has bad health so i recommend bringing some meat for force feed
It will only take 10s of minutes to kill it, depending on lvl, the carno i killed was lvl 90 and only do this trick if you cant find a high and safe spot to shoot it. Or the raft trick
Forgot this tame a lvl 100+ ptera or else it will die and has 200+ melee and speed and atleast 1k hp and stamina!
Can you make a video about building a raiding raft for raiding on high multiplier and one for raiding on low multiplier server?
I've put some in the "all about raft building" video already, th-cam.com/video/CdeDZLtg8FA/w-d-xo.html but I have another attack boat coming up.
Could you do a tutorial over all your boats build plz
On the metal boat what is holding those turrets it's not a ceiling? What is it
catwalks
So what's the significance of extending the tail foundation downward so far?
That's how low it must be to stop alpha rex from going under the boat and biting up through it, it also has the added bonus of preventing the leeds from attacking the moving boat.
I've only recently started playing Ark and man these video's you have made have been extremely helpful. One question though. With the addition of the whales...can they destroy metal boats?
Yes they can but it will take a long time and the motor boat can easily outrun it. Don't park it in deep water though and fixing it is expensive if it does get hit.
If you meant wood rafts with metal foundation then they are damaged the same as a bare raft.
I can't use my raft if i have trapdoor... any Tip ?
Xonewing, some videos I would like to see are weapons comparison, most DPS etc; and DLC content! thnx and love all the strategic videos for ark survival, can videos be more often?
