ARK: Survival Ascended | Tree House Village Base | Build Tutorial

welcome back welcome back and in this video I'm going to show you how to build this treehouse village now I just want to state if you're going to build this unofficial servers you really should build this using metal as wood will get blown right out the tree by enemy players but if you're PVE or private server with friends then wood will be just fine it's all preference really so be sure to like and share this video as well as hitting that subscribe button and the notification Bell as it really does help our little Community grow and I massively appreciate all the help and support you all give this Bas is more suited for a tribe on official servers or a private server with a good bunch of friends so the main building is absolutely huge and it's got lots of room inside for all your needs then across the small Bridge is a little building and it is built exactly the same way as the main house just on a smaller scale then on the last platform is where our flying dinos will be living and again built using the same design as the first house just slightly smaller scale yet taller it has no balcony walkways instead I just built straight up with flat walls and then added Dino Gates and some Factory roof so that your dinos can land on and get in so I'll be showing you how to build the first house and the bridges and with that design I'll leave platform two and three in your capable hands as it's literally just a copy and paste of the main house with minor changes and this way you'll be able to add your own flare to the base so before we get into the build this is the material list for the main building and the bridges so all you want to do is Times Free the materials as this will give you everything you need to complete this build so let's go so this is where we're going to be building using these Three Trees right here and this is our latitude and longitude I don't know who had their last St there some Muppet just just ignore that but I would recommend if you're going to build in the Redwood biome unless you're a high level with good Weaponry a lot easier to use a flying tame and to place your tree platform cuz all you got to do is get close and it will go green so this is the easiest way okay now obviously I'm going to be building this in Creative cuz it's just a lot easier to demonstrate and show you what I'm building and how to do it okay so like I said before this is where we're building and the goal here is to get this tree platform on this tree to line up with this one it's a bit finicky it'll take you a couple of attempts but I'm sure you can do it so let's grab our tree platform I'm using a wooden one you can use metal if you want it's your cool now like I said this may take a couple of attempts so let's just PL this here that looks okay let's have a look yeah that's looking pretty good now you don't have to line it up with this one cuz we're going to be doing something different but if you can line it up as best you can awesome so let's come to this tree here so that is where that is let's get a better view there we go this this can be a bit finicky guys all right now that is looking good let's have a look ah perfect yeah nice right so that is lined up nicely like I said it's not perfect but it's yeah it's good it's good okay excellent so that's that one done now this one like I said try and match them and line them up with the other two not a problem if you can't no we do this I'd say that's pretty good yeah that's pretty good that one matches for that one this one not so much but it's not the B Endor so do not worry but there's our tree platforms looking good so far isn't it yeah very pretty love this game beautiful okay so the next step is to grab a wooden ramp and you're going to go around the outside and we're going to go up by two so go all the way around like so and you'll get a nice little shape in the corners like that but pretty cool so do this to all three so this is what it should look like now you got your two layers of ramps on these two over here I actually flipped some of them just to give it a bit more variation and a bit more character this one I flipped completely so it breaks it up a little bit so it's not all Sam Samy but it's looking good so far you can even use wooden triangle ruls if you want to give your base a bit more variation obviously just make sure to flip it or even use the outside if you want up to you okay so now what you're going to want to do is let's get some wood flooring or wooden ceiling pick aide Place six down like so we are going to be extending this by the way but this is just to get the foundations right and then on the side next to it you just want to place three so don't clip them in just yet this is going to help us build the walls a lot easier when you place the flooring all the way down and it's all clipping through the the walls can just start getting funny and it gets a little bit more difficult to build so again we'll Place six more like so and then another three and you want to do this all the way around so six fre 63 63 now that you've done that grab your wooden flooring again and just keep adding to the layer that we put six on until they touch Corners with each other so like so just like that now like I said we are going to cover this it's just it makes building the walls and snapping things so much easier so just do this all the way around and this is what the final result should look like so far far so you've got 12 and then three we just broke it up into two sections just cuz it makes it a little bit easier and we will be covering these gaps looking good so far now we're going to actually start building the base I've placed these down so far just to give you like a visual of what we're going to be doing okay so on these ones get a door flip it so the inside is out cuz it looks a lot better grab your wall flip those again and snap them in like so we're only going one deep here okay so you don't need to go all the way along but we are going too high just add these in like so now it's your choice what door you want to use you can obviously use like a massive uh the massive doorway or you can use the smaller ones it's completely up to you so just to show you again let's do a different doorway let's use this one here so we'll snap that outside grab your normal walls flip these lay here we're only going one deep two high just like so and do that on all of the platforms with 12 ceilings on so just do that all the way around oh I missed one here yeah do that all the way around and you'll have something that looks like this nice little boxes now the base is going to start taking shape okay so next we're going to be building this so it's the roof the upper level and then these two ramps just to give the base a little bit more more character so I've done this all the way around but obviously apart from these two here so I'll show you what we do so you grab your wooden roof like so snap these there and then you want to flip it like that so it's poking outwards lovely jly then get a fch slope roof face it inwards you may need to flip it because we flip these uh these walls like so so and we'll do the same here there we go and then we'll add some more ramps yeah come on Snap there we go and that's that done amazing now you get your wooden ceiling just for your flooring put these bad boys in like so tree keeps getting in the way the leaves it does look really good it's good for the base bit of scenery but it's getting on my nerves now and then on the gaps here where we haven't done the uh the ramps you want to grab your fatch roof just plon these all the way along just like so and there we go and that's given your base a little bit more shape a bit more character and it just looks really cool now obviously like I've said before you don't have to build this out of wood if you're doing this for like a PVP tribe on the official servers definitely go metal and fortify underneath and stuff as well cuz obviously couple of tribes coming in with rockets and stuff they'll blow this out of the trees so just pointing that out okay so now we're actually going to build the roof and the upper level so this is what it's going to look like this is the final result looking very nice if I do say so myself I think it looks very pretty right so to start things off what you're going to want to do is come to this F roof here and grab a wooden triangle now snap it to the inside like so so and then you're going to want to go along to the very edges oh messed that one up get that a sec there go to the very edges like so so it's got that nice little angle then grab your wood ceiling and connect it to the other one and again grab a wood ceiling connect it to this side so it's literally two wood ceilings five triangles two wood ceilings five triangles two wood ceilings all the way around nice and easy okay then what you're going to want to do right here is grab your wall and then we're going to have a two doorways leading out just on the inside here so if it wants to snap the triangles can make it funny so do that and that then grab the wood doorway with no roof or no beam across the top and then place it on the triangle snap points like so and this just gives it a bit of a cool walkway don't have to do this part but I just think it looks really cool okay so do that then again on this part here what we're going to do is Place some windows like so and then go back to the normal doorway oh come on slap in there we go normal doorway and then back to Windows obviously this is your preference here so just place in whatever walls you want you can even use solid walls you're cool we'll go back to the the doorway without the wooden Beam at the top do that come on there we go lovely jubly right excellent so that's looking good so far so this is the shape all right now underneath on this level what you want to do is go for the wood double doorway I'm flipping it again to the outside's in just like so and you want to snap it to this wooden ceiling not down the bottom cuz it will clip through and it won't in properly as you can see so clip it to this one just like so come on there we go lovely leaves get out the way there we go that's what it's looking like it's looking nice next what we'll do is grab some wooden railings just place them along the top here and then on the sloped fatch roof just like so come on okay all the way along block this bit off as well so we don't fall off if your characters had a little bit too much to drink one night you and your tribe having a party and you slip off the roof and die that wouldn't be fun would it now if you want to you can actually add this all the way along here like so but what I would do and what I am going to do instead of having it like that is have it like this just on the corner there I think it just looks a lot better and it just gives it a little bit more shaping character I think it looks pretty cool right so that's that bit done now we'll come back to that what you want to do is grab a wood triangle ceiling flip it place it above these doorways here now again this is a step you do not have to do but I just think it makes the base look a a lot cooler so that's that bit done okay now you want to grab your normal fatch roof and start right here just snap it and flip it and then all we're going to do is go all the way along and this is going to go up two to three layers till it meets the tree now what you can do here is just like I've done with this layer this uh this floor you can actually build another one starting here if you want an extra bit to your base I I don't want that think we've got enough room on the inside so now I'm just going to complete the roof call it a job done so snap these in make sure to look at the uh the wooden beam bit here for the snapping point this is going to give it a bit of a cool shape come on go come up here just blend it right into the tree oh messed that one up messed it up that's it end of the video so blend that in lovely jubly now just check around the top make sure you've not left any out and I don't believe we have and that's blended into the tree lovely and that is what it's going to look like I think it just looks really really cool it's got such a nice shape now these solid walls here just uh for the record what you can do is you can actually add Windows if you want it doesn't just have to be solid wall it was just for the purpose of this video right now before we finish up the roof or before we call it finished just like my hidden base I'm going to snap railings onto these snap points get this really cool shape come on snap it okay go all the way around doing this okay and if you've done that you should have a base that's looking a little something like this how cool does that look I love it I think it looks amazing now obviously like I said add some variation in add different doorways here you can add um Windows instead of solid walls all the way around which I am going to do however the roof is not done it's completed if you like it as is like so but if you want to take it to the next level which I always love doing right at this point where the second layer of f roof starts what you want to do just here Place Another wooden railing and then Place one like so and it'll give you that shape okay now skip it here because it will just clip through like that okay we'll come back to that bit so what you want to do go on this part and then this part so every other one it just makes snapping these so much easier every other one just like so come on Snap On there excellent now you want to go back round doing this okay snapping it to that point this doing it this way makes it so much easier otherwise it can get very finicky very quickly go way around oh that's bright that's no it's not the last one this is the last one there we go lovely jubly that looks really cool now you can do the same up here as well so I am going to be doing this there we go and that is the roof being taken to the next level in my opinion and I think it just sets it off lovely and that is the that is the base done the shape now like I said at these points here add some windows add some different doors all that good stuff stuff right now what we want to do is grab our wood ceilings and then we're going to complete the flooring right here so just add that and we'll snap this one in just so it completes that kind of shape we don't want it looking odd basically so add these in just like so now we are going failed that massively we are going to be putting railings around the outside but I've got to show you how to build the bridge first okay so we'll be doing the railings here a little bit later on so the outside's not 100% finished but it's pretty much 90% there there we go so like I said that's the outside pretty much 90% done looking fantastic so let's go on the inside now and let's start doing the flooring okay so now that we're in here get your wooden flooring what you want to do go all the way around a meter in the middle now there'll be parts that won't clip to the tree that's not an issue we can cover that up with uh storage boxes or whatever else you want to add into this base okay so it's not to worry just go around finish this part first cool now snap in any gaps that we can around the tree like I said you might not be able to get all of them if you can amazing if you can't don't worry about it but it looks like we're going to be able to Fantastic excellent right so this part here you want to snap the wooden ceilings to the ramps okay don't want them poking out underneath the ramps sticking out so just do that all the way around amazing right so look here you've got so much room so much room for activities in this place so it's absolutely huge this should suit you if you've got a big tribe even on a PVE server and you're playing by yourself or with a couple of friends like this should suit you down to a te okay so we're only interested in going up to this second level and this third level so it's up to you how you want to do the stairs so if we just go up here what we're going to want to do grab our triangle ceiling do what we did on the outside okay just like so and then add a ceiling across then if we grab our wooden ceiling again just like so build this all the way around and this will give us a nice shape to work with now in terms of getting up here I'm going to use the spiral staircase but I'll leave it down to you how you want to do that and you can have multiples you don't have to have just one staircase you can have a couple completely all cool but there is so much room in this base for you and your tribe okay lots of room and like I've stressed before just cuz I'm making out wood I'm doing this for the Aesthetics okay just for the video but if this was to be built on an official server I would definitely recommend building this out on metal and fortify it there's much as you possibly can cuz this will just get rocketed right out of the tree so join these all up excellent cool right so we've put some Rogue Triangles around where I've uh messed up so what you want to do here is grab your stairs face it outwards like so let's just fly up so I can see a bit better there we go attach that light so excellent so come here go all the way up now you're on this level now just to complete the stairs I would recommend placing some wooden pillars just so it looks like it's got a bit of support lovely jubly that's looking good now and another thing you can do is if you want uh different stairs is you can build like stairs leading up like so you know just grab your normal stairs just build all the way up until it meets it I prefer the spiral staircase just cuz it gives it saves a bit of room well actually it saves quite a lot of room if we're being honest so let's face this one out so let's come in there now you can aim it both ways so you can go up like so nice and easy and we got multiple ways up okay now how open you want this is completely your cool I'm actually going to build it into the tree because I the open space is nice but I feel like building it into the tree is a bit of a better idea so I'll leave that in your case able hands with whatever you want to do but we go up to the top here now that we're up here we're going to obviously have to build out so we got stairs leading to the next level now we're going to be using triangles again up here because it's just so much easier to get a uh circular kind of uh shape on the upstairs so where the doors are place your wooden triangles just add these bad boys in like so and we are done nice now grab your wooden flooring and just meet them all up in the middle just like so lovely right finish is that it no two more right we're done cool right now from here maybe even a bit further in so if we go here Gra grab your stairs grab the normal stairs flip them the right way come on if it wants to there we go right flip that up right so that get rid of that and then what we'll do here place our wooden flooring like so that will clip through it's not going to stick out at the bottom here lovely then grab a wooden ceiling just snap that in like so and then again here that will not block the stairs it won't block it it will just make sure it finishes off the shape so you haven't got a gap here that's how I would do it again this is completely your cool and then definitely at the top we are putting um wooden flooring all the way around till it meets the uh tree 100% and this will give us more room to place materials at that snap up whatever this will give us more room room at the top to place our crafting things you know like your Smithy your forges any power generators you want like hidden out the way up at the top level or even storage it's up to you what you want to do with it now again you can have multiple stairs leading up your preference all right now this bit here where we meet up again I'll just go for a triangle triangle and come on triangle and then now that'll block it so maybe a triangle here yeah that works so there we go we can get up and down lovely job it feels a little bit claustrophobic now if I'm being honest but yeah so do you know what thinking about it I might have this layer like so I might just keep it open I might not meet uh level three into the tree cuz the top here feels a little bit claustrophobic so with these gaps here that we haven't done yet grab your wood flooring look at the bottom of the ramp snap these in that way you won't get any clipping on the outside that finishes that up do you know what I wish this game had roofs with Windows how cool would that be I think it' be awesome I think it would give us way more to work with as well with uh Base building I think I think Wild Card need to add that hopefully it will come with a mod eventually or wild card will add it but who knows so now that we got the stairs that's looking a little out of play so if I were you place some wooden pillars down just so it looks like it's being held up and supported like so lovely now what we need to do is grab some more railings and we're going to go around all of the inside like so and we're going to do underneath here just to give it a bit more shape now obviously another thing you can do is flip it so it looks like that completely all cool your preference but we are going to do this all the way around the inside including here and underneath this part as well so get cracking and then once you're at the top here obviously oh if I can get up there once we're at the top here you don't need to do it but I would add a wooden railing onto the stairs here and then these parts gaps like so just so it's blocked off nicely there we go lovely nice so get cracking add it all the way around and once you're done you'll have something that looks a little something like this where railings all the way around and then obviously we got our top level right here and then if we come out like I said Place some wooden railings around the outside as well of the base and then that will finish that off completely however where this part joins up to that part or lines up don't Place railings cuz we're going to be building a bridge now one thing to note before building these Bridges is take away the railings leading to the platforms so obviously this is going to lead over to that one away first cuz if you don't this glitch has a habit of if you was to build that first and then you put the railing all the way around and you take this railing out that will probably break I don't know why I cannot explain it but this thing will break at any given moment over the slightest thing especially when it comes to the outside structures okay it's absolutely solid once it's down so just make sure you take away the railings leading to the other platforms first okay so do that and now I'm going to show you how to build this bridge right now now it's time for the fun part the bridge to grab two wooden pillars place that on the Gap that we've left so it joins the wooden railings there okay grab a wooden railing we're going to place this on top we're going to flip it like so and then at the sides here we're going to snap this railing like so so it joins that part and this part so just snap it on the edge till we get the that bit the one that's most angled okay so that gives us a little bit you know cool looking little Gateway leading to the uh leading to the bridge and get two wooden floorings or wooden ceilings place that like so okay now before we start building the bridge get some more railings put them like that into the triangle so it goes through and joins the pillar and then come to these bits here and snap it till it angles right up now this bit is a bit there we go I think it needs to there right there snap it higher there we go look at that so it looks like it's connected now to this part of the building and then we will put some more railings down we will finish this all off and I'm going to show you exactly what to do now one thing I want to stress is when you build this bridge I'm going to show you how to cuz obviously you can't build straight across I'm going to show you how you place foundations underneath and we can build across you have to complete the bridge before you destroy these foundations okay like there's there's no way around that if you don't you will not be able to edit it you can put torches on and stuff but you won't be able to edit it any further so get your wood stairs and we're going to go for the third variant the sharpest point or the the one of the most angle here place that like so and then switch to the second variant the ramp just snap that in we're going to put two of these down there we go now place a wood floor now if it's red you might get away with being able to do one but if it's red like so this is what we need to do get a wood pillar connect it to the ramp build it all the way down keep going all the way down till you reach the grounds like so there we go excellent then get a wooden wall or any wall Place Three Wooden walls and then our foundation Place another three walls and then a foundation let's look up now keep going and all we're going to do is get as close to this one as possible so we'll do another two and then a foundation we will be deleting these later by the way so don't worry and once we're up here we're going to place four wooden floor now you can see you can build lovely jubly so once you've placed four wooden floors there's two things you can do here firstly get your wood ramp build two of them then get your wooden stairs and build two now you can plonk this right here with a wooden ceiling and that's it done okay you can have it connecting right here because what you can do here is actually add railings leading to it which looks really cool however if you want it to have that low hanging Bridge type of effect what we need to do is add another set of stairs a wooden ceiling if it wants to snap to it excellent and then grab a wooden ramp just like so and snap it in lovely jly now I would still keep the ratings cuz I think they look really cool oh why does that snap like that supposed to snap at an angle all right hopefully it snaps properly this time there we go and there we go now in order to cover these parts pretty easy you can have um I would go for this variant of the door way just cuz it looks really cool looks like two little pillars add that both sides add some ridings as well don't forget to do that try and angle these [Music] down perfect we're going to be adding railings All Along The Bridge just like so so snap these in and definitely snap them on the outside as well just to give it a much better effect now like I said once you delete these found these pillars the foundations underneath you can't edit this bridge anymore okay you can't build anything on it so make sure you are 100% happy with the bridge you've got everything on it that you want and uh then you can delete them now you can add torches and stuff that's that's not an issue but any any other like structure like a wall or placing uh I don't know if you want crafting stuff on the bridge for example that that will not work at all so now that that bridge is done we're 100% happy let's have a look at it yeah that's looking so cool right so now what we want to do is we'll get rid of this wooden pillar I'll delete all of them down here now just for Speed I'm going to grab the admin gun and we'll just delete all these parts just like so PK that away and the bridge remains so it is a bit of a glitch does work on Console or at least it did on Arc survival evolved on Xbox I can't see it not working on Console when um ASA releases on the 14th so this should work for console I want to say don't quote me because there's a chance it might not now just to make me look like an idiot but I'm I'm like 99% confident this will work because it's just the way that the foundations work so yes this can be done on Console if that's a question that you want to ask but there we go then all you want to do is add some torches to it and uh you know bit of uh bit more scenery stuff couple of torches some decorations and yeah look at that lovely jubly okay so the bridge leading from this platform to these two what I'm going to do here is the same as what we did there with the wall because it's quite long obviously when it's not too much of a distance you can actually build from platform to platform but we're probably going to need to do what we just done there with this one but the way I'm going to do this one is going to get some around I was going to say some stairs then we are going to use stairs going to get a ramp then I'm going to get stairs and we're going to go up by two like so and then I'm going to join this shouldn't work yeah now it's red so we're going to have to add a um the glitch like what we've done with the big bridge and then I'm going to add some flooring like so and then it will lead into there but we'll come back to that in a minute okay so the game crashed and my camera's just decided to bail on me while I was building this so where where we were all you do is you grab some wood ceilings and because the distance isn't that great you can snap it all the way across okay you don't need to worry about um doing the glitch like you did with the the big bridge underneath this one it will snap right in and then as you meet across here just add some ramps just to give it a bit more shape so it's not just floating there add some uh wooden railings and then we're going to add two pillars like so we'll add one right here just on this corner and right come on snap in there place a wooden pillow underneath each as well now grab your wooden railing and then plunk one on here like so and then we're going to make it look like a little Archway that's cool lovely jubly now you can add double if you want just to give it a bit more character we're not going to be adding any more to the sides here okay it's just not needed now underneath this is where you need to be careful okay if you place the wrong wooden railing or place it down in a way you don't like you can kiss that bridge goodbye I don't know why I don't know why this happens but it happens okay so we just need to just be very careful when you're adding in wooden railings as a matter of fact actually I'm going to save the game now before it crashes again so add your railings like so if you make a mistake just accept it accept your fate okay so angle that one down and we'll angle come on Snap here why you not snapping there why do it not want us there we go I just had it then there we go right so snap that in and then we will snap another one in so it looks like it's there we go holding it in place all about the Aesthetics guys come on there we go now we can do the same this side lovely jubly and there and then we'll just add it there like so oh that one's poking out that don't look like it's going in properly let's just fix that cool right now if you want to add a bit more character to this bridge you absolutely can just like so so we go here instead so just like so these in you can even add a bit that connects up like when it wants to snap like that now you may have noticed I've placed the flooring down on this one just cuz this I I just quickly got it done so cuz I'll be able to build with this it's not an issue so these two platforms here okay and this is completely your choice but I will be imitating this base build over here but I'm going to make make it a little bit smaller so I'm going to leave this completely up to you with what you want to do next so I'm going to make it smaller here however on this one we're going to copy it but what we'll do I just grab my admin gun out so I got my Crosshair is we're going to copy it just the first layer like so then we're going to put some Behemoth Gates and some fatch roof in and that's where offline dinosaurs are going to live okay so they're all going to look very different now you can copy this on all threee if you want it's completely your choice or you can do some different designs now I'm going to show you the different designs and I'll give you an interior tour and everything else so I'm going to quickly build it and I'll show you exactly what I mean okay so this is the little house like I said I built it exactly the same way I built that just on a much smaller scale and then on the inside is uh nice and big get a lot of crafting stuff in there or storage completely your choice and added some wooden pillars more railings of course and this little Bridge Oh wow was well foggy this little Bridge leading up to the uh flying Dino Nest so again the same way I built that house just instead of having walkway balconies I just went straight up with the uh with the wooden walls and as you go in here added a little hatch for a ladder so we'll climb up there and there's lots of space down there there's lots of space here as well to be fair for all sorts of stuff obviously it's a bit of a different design like this with the ramps and then I couldn't get this ladder to go all the way down for whatever reason it just refused to snap so a little Stairway to another ladder and then in we are that should be fatch ignore that so this is uh fatch fatch ceiling just to make it look more like a nest then your flying dinos obviously you can come in and out loads of big Gates here but your flying dinos would land here cuz they will be able to just go in and open the door lovely jubly and then this massive inside messed up a couple of the roofs here when I was building it but yeah this is it and again the same style as the roof as the first house so literally carbon copy just instead of a uh walkway flat roofs nice and easy but obviously do your own take on it add your own flare you can actually have just three of these and then at the top don't build that just build some massive gates for your flying dinos cuz you don't really want a rope ladder going all the way down here preferably but let me know in the comments what you think about this base guys I hope you got some value out of it and I hope you enjoyed it be sure to like And subscribe and also share the video and I'll see you on the next one and speaking of the next one we're going
