ARK: Survival Ascended | Battleship Boat Base | Build Tutorial

welcome back to another Arc video now sadly this one is PC only as console players cannot access the any game files needed to build this so this video I'm going to show you how to build this awesome Battleship that you can build on your own PVE server obviously you're not going to be able to build this un official at all now there is a mod that will make this a lot easier which we'll discuss in a minute and I'll also show you how to change the any file settings so like I said before you don't need this mod however it makes it a lot easier by allowing ceilings to act as foundations so no more messing around with pillars and making a massive mess just to build further out and you know get support in Foundation Etc so you can find the any settings here and you'll need to go into your game user settings and search for platform and then you'll find these two settings that you need to change the platform multiplier lets you add more structures to a platform and the area bound multiplier lets you adjust the distance of how far you can build from the platform it's normally set to one but we set it to the number on the screen that you see now and it it just lets you build so far away from the platform it's great so let's get into the build right so we've moved our raft out to see because obviously this is going to be a big build and we don't want to be going into the ground over there what you're going to do is add a pillar like so right in the middle now raise it up just a tad it doesn't have to be too high or too low but this will affect how the foundations go down that looks about right I could be wrong have a look no that's o no that needs to be lower right so just to gauge where we're at let's put this here that's about the same height so this will help now so if we take this down obviously we're going to remove that don't worry we just zoom out a minute be a tad lower think about there yeah that looks okay right so remove that this this is all a bit of a guessing game you got to just try and get it just right and that is spot on that's absolutely perfect right so from here foundations will snap now we can remove this moove this and remove this obviously don't block up the uh where you'll steer the boat otherwise you'll have an issue you won't be able to turn it on you won't be able to to interact with it so you should only be able to place that many they won't snap anymore so it's nine in total I don't know I think there might be a way to get them to snap further but obviously I've not discovered that yet so there we go eight foundations all snapped in lovely jly so because we changed the any settings we can build at Great distances now from this platform without it saying you're too far from the platform and I dare say we could probably reach that Island over there and obviously with the help of this mod giving us Foundation ceilings we don't need to mess about with pillars and stuff anymore so it just makes the whole process a lot easier so let's go along eight now and what we'll do this for is just to show you just how far we can actually go right so that's eight look at that I mean that is that is long I think you could probably keep going I mean I haven't tested it I've upu the limit to a th000 so it's probably going to go all the way to that Island obviously I'm not going to do that cuz I don't want to build anything too ridiculous so we got eight at the front there so we'll just finish that off like so go along add in all our foundations we're going to add another row of ceilings either side so that the width of the boat is five blocks we want five blocks here it's got to be an odd number cuz we want the front end to come in at a nice point so we'll do this nice right so at the back here we're going to go back by five just fill in the gaps here oh no I've just placed one can I still access it oh I can okay I didn't mess that up too bad I normally when you cover this the uh the steering wheel it you can't interact with it and it's just an absolute nightmare that was a that was a happy accident ah lovely there we go no it still works fine excellent right let's turn that off though that is the size of the boat oh big boy that is a big boy so now we're going to build walls all along the bottom here because we don't want to leave a massive Gap underneath the boat that looks ugly so go along like so just do this all the way around the boat and then after that we're going to add some more ceilings just to cover the underneath so nothing can sneak in underneath on us now with the back end don't put walls down yet cuz we are going to build it back at a little bit of an angle so it's not just flat and looks boring we're going to we're going to give it some shape and character so oh wrong way around and we will be flipping the walls on the upper levels but for now just the outside will do and like I said once that's done let's just add some ceilings just to cover it don't want any fish or any dinos to get any smart ideas about trying to hide in here there we go that's looking good awesome right so now we're going to build the front of the ship and we're going to use metal triangle ceilings and we're going to build along like this at a nice angle until we get red where it says uh yeah there we go no Foundation support that's abs absolutely fine once we do that just add a foundation there like so and then keep going and we're going to do the same here now that's going to clip through so we'll get rid of that excellent right so now l a foundation there this should allow us to build here last one um amazing cool right so with that obviously as you can see that will clip in I do have cliping disabled by the way but it will clip in just like so it won't be obstructed this one will though that's completely obstructed so the annoying thing is here you got this Gap okay so underneath the ship here we're just going to block this off now there's no way around that because you can't you can't extend this unless you got like mods like s+ and stuff which as far as I'm Weare aren't available to AR Arch exended yet and and yeah so this is how we do it we'll just block it off underneath but up top it'll be absolutely fine so what we're going to do again is add more walls place the wrong wall down there lovely jubly now at the back here like I said we're only going to go at a slight angle we're not going to go too crazy so we're going to add three metal triangle foundations like so and then we'll build along like that because we're not going too far out they'll stay green so we got no issues there and then we'll just add some W and then obviously underneath just like we've been doing add our flooring we don't get any aquatic dinosaurs or fish living in our base underneath making all sorts of no noise while we're uh driving our boat underneath here because we're not going to be constrained cuz we got the foundations there we should just be able to build all the way i' say excellent excellent all right fantastic and there we go that's the shape of the ship looking good so now what we need to do is go around the top layer with walls and don't forget to put a doorway so I will likely be put my doorway right next to the steering wheel and I'll do it both ways like so and then what we need to do is just add walls all the way along but this time Inside Out There we go that is the first layer done got that starting to take shape now okay so we're going to block this part off now because we do not need to access it do that like so that essentially doesn't exist at the bottom so we can ignore that now you need to decide if you want to go two layers up or just stay at this level so basically you can go around and add another layer of walls this High essentially if you want to you know build up and have it like a really big boat and have more layers more levels like have a bigger base and then also at the back you can add a gate for your dinosaurs and have like uh you know a Staples at the back of the boat so this is all your preference I I'm not going to go too high cuz I I don't I don't really see the point I think one layer is is fine enough so from there we're just going to add metal ceilings again just like we did before and then we're going to add sealing foundations again just as we have before all the way along the boat now the reason I'm going one layer is because I don't need it to be a big ship cuz this is primarily just to show you how to build it with the shape so if you want to extend it go higher you absolutely can take it to the next level and you'll know what you're doing because OB obviously I'm showing you how to do it and I don't need too much for this base if I was going to build it to hold a load of dinosaurs though and like make it into a mega base I'd probably build it like an extra two to three walls higher have it like insanely huge and I might do that for another video build like a humongous Battleship astronomically gargantuan I may have to do that I think what do you guys think you think I should do it let me know in the comments right and then at the back here just as we did with the front couple of triangle ceilings and then Square ceilings and there we go oh where am I bouncing off to oh place the wall there as well and there we go look that is a nice looking shape looking good so far now we need to build some extra things so if we go into where our steering wheel is what we'll do here is decide how we're going to get up so where the doors are they're there we're going to have the stairs right here so we'll get rid of this one lovely jubly obviously you can decide which one you want to get rid of and then just add some stairs there we go lovely right that brings us up into here so now we need to build the upper level because we're going to have like a almost like a command deck built right here okay we're going to use like some windows and all sorts right so now that we've got the stairs leading up we're going to want to get to the front of the ship and obviously navigate the ship so we're going to build a doorway right in the middle there there it's going to be three blocks from the stairs above that we're going to place a metal ceiling Foundation place two just so we can see what we're doing then we're going to add a greenhouse roof we're going to do three of them like so now you can do cornered you know the angled uh you know triangle cornered Windows here but to be honest it's such a faf getting it into a nice little oval shape and yeah it's just more aggro than it needs to be and also we're going to want walk along the sides of the ship as well so for the sake of clarity and making things easier we're going to use a sloped wall either side and this will just keep the ship in a nice shape now we want to add two metal roofs either side of the window we're going to grab our metal sloped wall either side of this and here lastly here oh if it'll flip out and then all you need to do is decide how big you want this so I'm going to go along probably three blocks past the stairs again so if we just go along like so build this outwards and then by the stairs again going to add another doorway so we can get in and out we'll go free along from the door just like so we'll do the same this side go along like so obviously not adding a door here because the stairs are there going to be falling down but we can add one here that'll do just so we got multiple ways in and out right now we're at the end now grab your metal slope wall like so put them either side and then add roofs this will just give it a little bit more shape there we go excellent excellent now above here this is where you can decide whether you want to a oh not place a roof like that you can add a roof like that um let me just get rid of this so you can add a roof like that go up even higher and then flatten it off completely or or you can just completely flatten it from the get-go like that so it's it's your cool what you want to do it's completely your cool so me personally I'm just going to FL it I don't want anything too big I don't want anything too fancy I'll save that for my ginormous ship build that I'm going to be working on just go along so then we'll get our roofs cuz these are going to have to go up one more and they will all meet up lovely jly and just finish up with your metal slope roofs and then your normal walls this is where you can add Windows if you want I personally wouldn't you're not going to need them to be fair so there we go look at that looking cool looking cool now obviously we're going to need to get up to the bridge so what we'll do here we got these stairs we'll add our ceiling foundations inside and then we'll add some stairs to it just like so right by the door there and then all we need to do is add more ceilings lovely jubly let have a look at the shape now yeah that's looking pretty cool I like that I do like that so now what you're going to want to do is add metal railings all the way around the ship and there we go so that's the railings added looking good so far looking good looking good so when it comes to placing turrets on this boat as some of you may already know Tech turrets are not allowed and heavy turrets are not allowed they can't be built on saddles or platforms anymore so all we got access to is auto turrets so we'll Place one right here and you've got access to obviously your minigun turrets and your rocket turrets so I would build a ladder here have some rocket turrets up top so we place a rocket turret like so disable the uh the snapping so that we can actually put it somewhere decent like so it doesn't hang off the edges so to speak Place another one right there we got one looking either way i' probably even just put another auto turret up here as well just place as many as you want where you want now if you are going to have turrets up here and you're going to want to way up and down obviously use a ladder this is when I'd say you're going to need railings cuz you don't want to be falling on and off this platform cuz you could end up in the water in the heat of battle which you uh definitely don't want I just Place railings there like so you go down now obviously it doesn't prevent you from falling off into the water you still got to be careful but if we go on this move it around jump off yeah we should be okay and then obviously just make sure you're not sprinting off the roof otherwise you are uh going to go straight into the drink so I'm not going to lie the camera angle's pretty bad when driving this thing I mean look at it but it is a big ship so what do you expect so you may have to use the Freel look to uh navigate the sea so to speak but yeah I'm happy of that obviously I changed the turrets added some water tanks up the top and changed the turrets at the front and changed the design of the uh of the deck but yeah I'm happy with that I think it's a good build what do you guys think let me know in the comments thanks for watching guys as always don't forget to hit that subscribe button like and share also join my Discord let me know in the comments what you think about this build I'll see you on the next one bye-bye
