ARK: Survival Ascended | Cozy Log Cabin | Build Tutorial

hello there and welcome back to another Arc survival ascended build tutorial today we're going to be building this little cozy wooden cabin in the snow it's quite small so you can definitely use it as a starter base as well but probably you don't want to build it in the snow cuz it's a little bit more of a dangerous area of course it's got everything you need from a little place to store a dyo to a front porch with a forge to all the necessi and of course the Cozy Vibes on the inside so I'll be taking you through how to build this yourself and at the end of course we'll do a little walk through of how cozy the inside really is okay so let's get started with the foundation now you want to build a [Music] 2x3 Foundation of course you can pick whatever location you want to build in if you want to build in this location at the end in the a little walk through I will show you the exact coordinates of the little Rune here and where I built my log cabin so this should be the foundation nice and easy then we're going to extend it in the front with two ceilings for a little porch area um but yeah that's basically the simple starting shape then of course we're going to decide where all walls doors and windows are going to be uh we're going to have a door right here here make sure it faces the right way then we're going to go and look at where the windows are going to be we going to have a window right here going to have a window right there and we're going to have a window right there we can enjoy this view we can enjoy that view and we can check out whatever is happening in front of our door rest of the walls will'll just keep to normal ones again as usually if you really want to change this around uh feel free to do whatever ever you need for your build this is just the best way um I have found that this little cabin works then we're going to go on with some quarter walls we'll place them like so and then we'll switch to the next one so the alternative side so we can fit it in with the slop walls we'll be using and then we'll fit some sloped walls to the side we do this so that we can have a little overhang for the roof yeah so the next one we want to play right here now I've been getting a lot of comments on my previous builds that this apparently um doesn't work on uh like official servers so that is very unfortunate I guess technically you could also just make the like the normal shape without the overlapping uh the only thing would be that you wouldn't have the roof sticking out but for the rest you could still follow along with the build it would just look a little bit different and a little less nice cuz the next bid you probably can can't do as well so you'll probably have to go for a more simple roof unfortunately okay so next what we want to do is we want to build a little platform here which is going to be a helping guiding snap point for what we're going to do next and then underneath we basically want to have a wall uh I like to make sure that these walls are facing the same way just looks nicer in my opinion and especially later on when we connect them all up um I just think it looks a little bit better that way uh then we're going to take another sloped wall and we're going to flip through the snap points until we get this one that's the one we'll take and then we'll connect one underneath like that so we'll do it again on this side again make sure at least for me for my preference to face to make the sure the the same side faces this way um and we'll place that as well and then what we want to do for the rest to just incorporated into the build is we want to finish this wall so we don't see this weird structure sticking out and we want to make sure it goes one Higher as well because we will need that snap point for the rest of the roof now let's do the roof now we're already doing the details so you want to get that snap point and then you can just go across like that and then for the next one you want to get this snap point and move across like so same deal on the other side so we want to get this snap point and move along the side so I think this is a really nice looking roof we can add some details with some railings I at least would suggest doing these I think this just looks very nice um this is also an option if you're building on official but I'll show you more examples a little bit later um you could add more details if you want I've chosen for this build not to do it but of course if you want to add more like this or you want to add some like this feel free to but I think for now we'll leave it at this for the roof the only thing we'll add is some pillars on the end just to make it a little bit more stand out and then we'll continue with doing some pillars for the rest of the build so let's make sure we have some pillars on the side make sure to connect them at the bottom as well uh we'll have some some beams going across like so and then we'll connect this up make sure you get the right snap point so it doesn't stick out on the top either let's do the same here so we'll Place pillars like this we'll Place some beams here and we'll get the right snap Point as well then we'll Place beams along here do don't place any beams in the entrance just go along the bottom like so and then we basically have everything that we need now we want to place a little bit of guides here so that we can get the right snap points um we want to place pillars here and have some pillars like that as well Place one there as well because we're going to have have uh some stairs leading from here now we can take away these and we can place in some fence to finish this porch and on here we want to connect some stairs like so and then we have the little front porch done so we are quite far with our design right now now what we want to do of course is want to make sure sure that we have some doors personal preference what way you want to face these doesn't really matter too much for the design of course and then the door is going to go right there uh let's open these for a little bit of light later on we got some company right there um so yeah this is basically the standard cabin done but we're going to have one little addition on the side right here we're going to place some quarter ceilings here we want to have uh four like this and then Place another one you could also do big ceilings but I just like the look this gives us uh then we're going to place some supports but if we want to place some pillars right away it won't really let us only here it will so we'll place that support but on the other side if it won't so what you do is you place some quarter walls on top cuz for some reason now it does know to find these snap points we'll connect the pillars all the way until we have a shape like this and then we can take away these supports and for some reason um or pillars don't disappear so we have something like this and then we can make some more details here so we'll do the fence flip it around flip it around again to make this kind of pattern along the sides which looks nice and also make sure that whatever you put here will stay inside uh and then we'll put a feeding trough here in the middle so this is all little addition so you can park a dino here maybe a nice d wol uh whatever you want so yeah that is what you can do and then of course will need to do some interior but first let me show how you could make this work on official so on official of course you can't do the overlapping so what you would do is just go for the normal shape uh unfortunately you probably won't be able to do the overlap I think if you can um I I'm not unofficial so I can't really try it you can't build the guides here so you probably can't get the overlap what you could do is Place one here if it does let you get this snap Point that's good because then you'll have at least the overlap at the front and at the back of the house if it doesn't you can just go for the normal roof it will just be slightly less detailed now you probably can't get the bit sticking out like that so instead you'll probably have to go for some details with just the railings I think but at least you'll be able to make the roof work and I think you you should also be able to uh to get the little overlap like this so at least that can make your uh roof look like it's overlapping on the side as well so that is what you do if you're an official you can just go for something like this okay so let's start on the interior or at least the decorating um first thing is actually going to be outside so you want to place a forge right here so that we have that going on for us and then we'll actually move on to the inside now first things first very important we want to have our fireplace because you can't have a cozy cabin like this without doing that now you also need to fill in this all the way along the top so that we don't see any gaps anymore so you just take some quar walls and you go along both sides so that it's completely closed off because of course it needs to be cozy so we can't have all the heat Escape we'll place our Smithy right there uh we'll place a bed right here so that we have that going on um here we'll place a table we'll do this we'll place a chair like so so it's already starting to get cozy uh you want to make sure that you have free placing mode with this cuz then you can get it nice and close to the fireplace uh without any problems and then what we want to do is add in some more storage um so the first one probably right there and then we can just place two more next to it without too many problems so it's already getting quite cozy in here now that I like to also add a bench in here so you can actually enjoy the fire and it makes for an even Cozier interior and then you're pretty much done with the interior I think I've got everything uh I might have done a little bit more interior on my actual server but we'll see that right in a second okay let's check out the little cabin over there uh there also these runes right next to it with an explor note if you want to check it out U these are the cords if you want to build on the exact same spot as I did uh but yeah this is what it will look like once you're done and I really love this spot with like the waterfall behind it you got the nice like blue water with some eye shots in it of course when it does get very cloudy and Misty it can be very different atmosphere but it's still a beautiful place to live in now we've got this little cabin here which I think looks nice and cozy but of course first let's put on all the lights because that is what we need to make it really cozy have the little clouds puff going up but yeah it's it's a nice and simple design definitely would also just work as a starter house if you're not building it in the snow but of course just for the coziness it feels a little bit better here here on the side we have a feeding trough so you could park some dinos here um if you want you could make a pen out out of it or something a little bit safer but I just like the look of this little um addition to the Hut basically where you can have uh a Dyno just you know as a little stable area and then we have the front porch with the forge on it which I think looks really nice as well plus it just gives you basically everything that you need in a house then when we go inside it's nice and cozy as you can see so the supports that we build for you know getting the roof in the right spot we're also using as some extra storage so we have some extra boxes up there hidden uh we got some uh storage here as well I tried to make it like um a real survival base and I think this is plenty of storage to last you a little bit we got the uh Smithy right here so you can work here and you can probably also access it from out here so you can quickly transfer your metal if you need to I thought that would be quite handy as well we got the little fireplace of course can't go missing in a cozy uh house like this got the cooking pot here as well if you want to cook up some colors or whatever but it just also looks kind of nice and and cozy and we've got the little uh seat here as well so that you can actually enjoy the fire and just you know sit and relax a little bit also adds a little bit bit more to making this place extra cozy because now there's less space to go by uh we got a window here of course uh looking out over the bed so you always will wake up to some nice views hopefully uh and then we got another uh place here where you can sit at the table motor vessel so basically you got everything you need or almost everything you need I think to you know just start surviving out here and it also just makes the little house look super cozy I a real nice uh Log Cabin I would say I really love how it turned out and um and even though it might be in a quite a dangerous location it does look very peaceful like [Music] this [Music]
