@@aos_thatsadub1311 yes, you can see it here in the code of conduct under "hacking exploiting" support.survivetheark.com/hc/en-us/articles/220278968-Code-of-Conduct It's not a big deal because if you just run pillars down and place a ceiling, it only costs 2 more pieces than the old floating foundation.
@@zacforrest3898 yea, I put 3 turrets now instead of 4, to save 1 piece. because using the pillar/ceiling costs 2 more pieces than the floating foundation
i have used this design over and over it is great! when on official i usually get to big to live in it but i make it work and usually turn the griffin pen into an indi forge and remove the door next to the generator. keep it up 😁
Yeas you can, but you need a way to water the plant species X if you are going to place them(irrigation pipes cant be placed on rafts). Auto turrets can be placed.
It's kind of expensive if you aren't Alpha or have protection. It can be destroyed pretty easily (As all rafts can) I used to hide most of mine a little north of the bottom left corner of the island, and top left corner, or next to one of our iceberg bases. They got found once and someone drained about 3000 bullets before giving up (not sure why they didn't just ram a c4 raft through it) But other than the one time being found, they were never found again or sunk. Keep in mind I was the Alpha at the time, so a lot fewer people would be searching for the boats in the first place.
Unfortunately, it seems the Ark mobile came with changes. I can´t place a stach ceilling under water. I place the pillars but then it tells me that it doesnt have snap points on it. Also, I had to work around, to get the floors at different levels. Also, it doesnt let you place the large crop plot on the sloped roof...
It could be mobile, it could just be ARK. They ruin this stuff all the time. I'll need to experiment with some raft building again to see if anything has been ruined on PC or not.
@@zacforrest3898 I just like it the way it is. The motorboat itself is strong enough that you don't really need to fully encase the raft as it is considered a metal structure.
Thanks man! Great video. I will def be using this boat. I have seen one in game with a Indy forge and elevator for raising Dino's. Ever think about a design like that?
You could try putting that last pillar down then demolishing the foundation underneath it, then placing the foundation at the lower snap. Though frankly, I've been testing this out today, and I seem to be getting foundation obstructed at the lower point no matter what I do, though I built a boat 3 days ago with no problem, so I'll need to mess around some more and check with some other people. If this is a new change to the boat building, I'll have to come up with a work around.
So it looks like this has been broken in the last patch. So for this particular boat design, I would place 5 foundations at the higher level, and leave the left spot with no foundation (Left when facing toward the front of the boat) You would still be able to access the boat at that point.
Yeah, it's not mobile as in phone, it's mobile in that it moves. My apologies on the confusion as ARK was not available on mobile when I originally made this video, and I never imagined it would be.
Do not build floating foundation! Is now against rules, build pillars down with a ceiling to defend against leeds.
Newbie4Hire really?

What do you mean build a pillar down with ceiling to protect? Do you still put turrets on it?

Awesome, I love when someone gets good value from one of the rafts. I haven't played ARK in a minute, so I'm not sure if any of them are still valid.
@@Newbie4Hire this one definitely its working km using it on official right now 😂
am*
Weve built 3 of these and i got to say. Works like a charm. Thanks to your design in keeping us safe(r)
I recommend you to put a few more turrets on the top but this design is still amazing
Has it been raided yet?
i cant seem to place foundation under ceiling now
Just get the angle right
I dont seem to be able to place the two ceilings at the front like you did at 2:34, does anyone know how to fix this?
I like this base thx
RANGOOS 1 same
i didnt think plant species grew on platforms anymore, did they change that back?
I don't know man, they are ruining all our fun these days, I'll have to double check it for you.
Yeas you can, but you need a way to water the plant species X if you are going to place them(irrigation pipes cant be placed on rafts). Auto turrets can be placed.
@@areus2016 the normal rain in the game will keep them watered. I've never had to water any of my plants on the rafts.
Can i also use This boat for living at A pvp server? And were do i have to put my boat when i’m going offline?

So ballista turrets shoot automatically for do I have to sit in it and shoot?
everytime i try to place a foundation under the thatch ceiling it disappears, is this normal?
Are you on mobile or PC? I can still do it on PC.
@@Newbie4Hire Ps4
Can this still be built in PS4 official servers?
Really good tutorial thanks
Can this be built on regular raft!
Nope
Only because motor boats can have more structures on it than normal rafts
Thanks for this vid
Yeah same I liked it
How does the underwater part with the turrets move along with the boat if the pillar isnt connected to the raft
It just does.

do you need the turrets on the bottom if you wanted to use this for pve?
Yeah, because the turrets underneath are to kill the Leedsichthys, otherwise they'll destroy your boat.
Newbie4Hire but according to arkpedia leed can’t damage metal, So can it?
I built a motor boat base and to my dismay the turrets would not place :(
how can i do that?
Are you trying to place heavy turrets? You can only place regular wimpy turrets on rafts.
@@Newbie4Hire still the same XD
How long have you played ark?
a year and a half and far too many hours.
Newbie4Hire lol same, What about exact playtime on steam/other platforms?
Amazing vid
Nice thanks really usefull
Can the bottom of the boat be damaged?
I always try to sink the foundations to where you can access the boat but they are all level. Is there any reason you didn't do it that way?

There aren't many motorboat how to's. You have a little niche here. Add keywords and stuff. It was somewhat difficult to find a how to
@@zacforrest3898 I had thought about one with an indy forge, I had never even thought about an elevator on a raft, very interesting.
Can this be built on a raft?
Negative ghost rider, it has too many structures to be built on a regular raft, it requires a motorboat.
This isn’t mobile
Why so many smithys???
Storage
Newbie4Hire yeah it has more space but it doesnt look pretty xD
I love it
when i tried this i couldn't get the foundations over the rudder to snap to the lower point
did you fix it?
press the cycle snap point button, which is q for me (I believe that is the default key for pc)
i tried using the snap point cycle on xbox but when i have the foundation set it doesnt place even though its green and not obstructed

fucking god ez building this when i get ma plack pearls
Can this work for rafts not motorboats
No, it takes too many pieces.
I don’t think this is mobile ..........
Yeah, it's not mobile as in phone, it's mobile in that it moves. My apologies on the confusion as ARK was not available on mobile when I originally made this video, and I never imagined it would be.
That’s not on mobile
?
mobile, as in the base moves.
Lol sorry
hehe, when I made this video they didn't even have the game on mobile, I never imagined they would.
