ARK: Survival Ascended | Underwater Bunker Base | Build Tutorial

oh no oh there's so many hello hello and welcome back and in this video I'm going to show you how to build this underwater fortified bunker base now I just want to state that this isn't meant to be a pretty looking base like my previous builds it's more for practicality and is actually one small part of a much larger build that I'm working on however I will be building and showing you some aesthetic looking underwater bases soon so make sure you follow this series and also check out my other Arc videos if you're in need of some build inspiration however if you want to build a fortified underwater base that has plenty of space for you in your tribe then this build will sort you right out you can actually add more to this design as well if you want to build it bigger and it does scale up very nicely if that is something you'd like to do be sure to like And subscribe as it really does help out and I greatly appreciate it also I do have a Discord so come on my server and say hello maybe even share some screenshots of your builds so this is the material list for this base screenshot p a video now if you need to right I guess we should build this thing then hello hello hello and welcome back one and all so we're going to be building an underwater base in this video so this is Jeremy my Megalodon he's been protecting me so it's a cool bug with megalodons at the moment so if you ride it and get off it may take a couple of times so if I just get on him ride him a little bit let's move him around to get him out of the way of the base build that we're going to be doing and you jump off him you can then walk on the floor I discovered this by accident but yeah I thought that's pretty cool cool little bug if you want to uh use that on the official servers to your advantage anyways we're going to be building an underwater base and this is where we're building so this is my latitude and longitude ignore the last death that guy who died there's a muppet so I've placed some tech pillars down already we've placed five cuz that's how high we're going to be going and uh yeah this is obviously a bit of a late game base but you can do this with wood and stone and fatch if you really wanted to I don't know why you would want to so yeah bit of a late game base with the tech anyways right let's grab our vacuum comp apartment and we're going to build it just there no snap to the pillar there we go right so we're building just there so we're going to build three of these and then we're going to build a moonpool so we can get in and out cuz we're going to be covering this right so that's that so far we will be sorting out the uh the underside later on let's work on the roof for now so what you want to do grab another tech pillar and snap it right on top like so then get a tech triangle ceiling and snap it in now this will snap in all directions like that it's a bit finicky you'll have to play around with it like so there we go just like so it's uh yeah a bit finicky at times but it will do it I just need to do this one now come on you know you want to there we go oh I just had it I lost it there we go right so you got your nice little perfect Circle it's a star really and then you want to get a tech ceiling and snap it to all of these points we're going to build it out so we'll build a nice little circle base so just like so oh come on snap it's annoying when you have it and then you lose it there we go so yeah do this all the way around but uh yeah I'm glad you're all enjoying my art content it's uh it's good to see cuz uh obviously I was doing Starfield before and I still am doing St field content but I much prefer an arc as a game it's it's a lot better and I've got so many base builds that I've already done so I've got a cave build coming I've got a cliff build coming there's there's load so subscribe stay tuned and let me know in the comments what you think so far so there we go we have snapped all the ceilings or up the floor okay I know it's a ceiling but we'll just call it floor snap that and we got a perfect circle okay then we're going to extend this by one like so just like that on each of them don't worry about the gaps in between we're going to be sorting that out there we go all the way around lovely jubly and there we go look nice little Perfect Circle so it's a little base it's Diddy but it's it's actually quite big on the inside to be fair anyways go back to your triangle ceiling and we're going to snap them to each side of the floors that we've just put down just like so so it'll make a nice little star shape okay so do this all the way around and then what we're going to do is add some walls now because we've gone one out the walls will not clip through into the base obviously you won't be able to see out but while we're talking about that actually to be fair hang on let me just snap this right so to be fair this is this is my Graphics okay so you know this is this is what the game looks like but as soon as I go in here right and look how washed out it looks it just looks awful so if anyone's had this and fixed it let me know in the comments cuz I I don't want to be looking at this we're not going to be able to see out the windows of this base anyway so it defeats the point but still I'd like to know how to fix it anyways let's carry on building so you know rubbish Graphics into nice yeah whatever right so carry on with your triangles all the way around just like so now like I said you can do this with fatch stone wood or I just messed that one up we'll leave it there it shouldn't interfere yeah with a fatch stone wood but obviously you won't have the vacuum compartments to uh to float you know to to actually go inside and uh yeah I don't know why you would want to do it but you know you could build a little one in a safe Zone like this uh with wood and fatch I keep messing up these snap points what an idiot there we go right perfect so you got like if I go up you got like this little this little shape here okay now what we're going to do next is grab our tech walls now if they don't snap underneath just snap on top and then snap underneath then we're going to snap to all these angles here like so yeah like I said if uh if it has to snap up top first don't worry about it we will remove them later on so go around the entirety of the base add in these walls come on SLAP properly and this will crash the game apparently okay back in a minute the game's just crashed thanks Wild Card seriously wild card you need to sort this out man what are you doing it normally happens when I'm going through menus too quick but for whatever reason it's uh it just happened then so right and we got to start again so let me quickly build that again and we'll be back in a minute right so we are back we're going to save the game now that I've built that all so like I was saying grab your tech walls build all the way around if it doesn't want to snap snap it up top and place it underneath we can get rid of it later on so it's not an issue it's not the B1 end all all right so we'll do this all the way around now and if we crash again I will have my jimmies rustled okay so I'll not be happy I normally only get it when I'm going through the menus way too quickly um when I'm like grabbing stuff out uh from the craft menu or crafting uh way too fast I just yeah it's it's normally not an issue but to be fair the last couple of days I've actually had a lot of crashes um especially when I built that massive tree housee which if you haven't checked out um it's my previous video go and watch it it's awesome such a cool build and uh yeah that took hours to finish because I had this bug right where I was saving the game after like a big portion of the build and it would crash and the save just wouldn't wouldn't load at all it was just like yeah no you didn't save the game bro sorry peace out so yeah super annoying okay right now that should be all of it there we go let's have a look lovely jubly like I said we'll delete these top ones later on let's go down One More Level so just follow the path these should be easier to snap cuz you can look just underneath now you can snap them to the bottom so all good but yeah I had a had a very annoying bug with the uh the game not saving the other day and it it just took me hours to finish this build um my tree house but very cool build definitely check it out it's my previous video and uh upcoming videos I've built in a cave I've built Cliff base I've built a snow base well it's not a snow base but it's a base in the uh snow biome I've just got loads of videos coming I've like I said I've done a couple um I've done a couple that you guys had actually suggested but I'd already built it anyway so it didn't matter but uh if you well get out of the way Jeremy if you've got any suggestions or anything you'd like to see Chuck it my way cuz I am an eager beaver to uh to get building right that is underneath that's me in it lovely jubly right I'm going to grab the admin gun Just For Speed let's get rid of the top ones all right just get rid of the top tech walls easier than picking them up now I know what you're probably thinking Cur is save the game way ahead of you saved right there we go now that is looking pretty tidy if I do say so myself nice and uh nice and circular come on debris go away so right now it's time to build the roof so you can use Tech roofs if you want if you want a super steep uh roof or you can use ramps and ceilings or floors whatever you want to call them um to go up at like you know a steady incline which is what I'm going to do so whichever one you you want to use all right just grab it and then we're going to snap to this triangle this corner here okay so just look at that corner snap in go along like so and then this corner here the the bottom left of the ramp will overlap the far right of the next corner then if we grab our ramp again just look at the far right corner of the triangle oh messed that one up trying to look like I know what I'm doing here and it's not working yeah so just do it like that okay so on the triangle snap it to that one on the triangle so just do this all the way around and then we will either do one of two things go up on uh on a slight incline with just using the ramps or I might throw in some uh Tech ceilings just to have a bit of a flat roof and um bring the roof up slowly cuz I don't want a I don't want a steep roof it's uh that's not the look I'm going for with this base not at all right that will snap in like so lovely jubly and they give you this nice little shape look so I think it looks pretty cool it's like a like sort of triangle kind of shape now like I said you can go up again so if I just show you it probably just be easier if I show you right we go up with the ramps it will emphasize the uh the triangle shape there or you can use um Tech ceiling so if I just snap it like so come on go all the way around snap it in like that and then you just come back obviously you got to snap it to to each point here like you want to be snapping it there and there and then you'll just be building the ramp off of that as well just on the inside here you know what I think I'm going to ditch the steady incline idea because I think you only need three and it'll meet in the middle and I don't think it'll be that tall really in comparison yeah no we're going to we're going to use the tech roofs all right we're going to we're going to ignore the uh ceilings so just pick them up and crack on adding the ceilings we'll see how it looks if it looks awful okay we'll just we'll just take it away so you know no harm no foul so just go all the way around keep adding to your ceilings Each corner like so easy to just snap uh when you uh put your Crosshair just over the uh the top of the other ramp that's already there you might just need to press Q once cuz it normally wants to do that snap like an idiot ah this game sometimes right so I think three layers of this will look really cool like I said that do you know what it can stay there can't bother it um if it doesn't look cool we can uh put it up at a steady incline with some ceilings oh wow that does look really cool to be fair now H so do I go up a third layer or do I finish it with ceiling hard Choice I'll tell you what let's do a third layer ramp see how it looks it might end up looking like Overkill to be fair if it does we will uh we will fix no Dr armor so this is where it's going to get interes in trying to snap it cuz there's there's a lot there's a lot of different pieces going on here it'll probably give a cool shape at the top though so we'll check that out after let's just snap the last of these on but yeah like I was saying where do you want to see me build next and what would you like to see me build next I've built a boat that looks like a patrol boat from Vietnam I've built a cool Treehouse I've built a starter base okay that is the last one oh no it's not it's not not the last one done I lied I'm sorry I lied to you guys oh wow okay yeah that looks really cool let's just zoom out a minute though I want to see what yeah no that looks good I like that I do like that I think a steady incline would have looked really cool but I think this this does look cool anyways let's get underneath now so we're going to do the exact same thing we just done there with the ramps but we're going to be doing it on the inside now so just snap everything onto the inside like so this may be a little bit easier though so no dramas just go all the way around I say it's it might be easier it's it's it's a little bit easier it's not the easiest though snap these all the way around okay and we're not going to block these off completely cuz we need to be able to get into the uh the moon well which is right there okay or the moonpool not the moon well that's the world Warcraft talk coming out a game that I haven't played in years before anyone asks but I've heard it's pretty good now I've got a few friends that still play it and they're saying it's uh it's pretty decent these days may have to check it out one day who knows come on snap in right so there's the moon yeah we can still reach that that's cool way around like so so what other games apart from Arc do you guys play I'm really curious to know what else you guys are playing obviously you as you no I play Starfield I'm waiting for Elder Scroll 6 and GTA 6 that's going to be uh that's going to be amazing right that is looking good now right so now what you're going to want to do is grab your tech walls and we're going to snap it to all the bottom ends of the ramp so it's going to maintain that circular shape just uh resnap it if it doesn't want to snap properly we'll do two layers as well cuz we do want to maintain that uh like I said that circular shape so build on the inside first otherwise you won't be able to find the snap point on the outside and then do that nice and easy so go all the way around doing this guys we'll leave this pillar here for a minute cuz we'll put another pillar down that will be our foundation to uh hold the base up otherwise it's going to collapse and break and I'm not in the mood for building this again especially after the crashes we've had so just go all the way around get this done oh I messed that one up bear with me there we go now we are going to want to put a doorway down as well but we'll do that in a little bit we don't need to do it right now this should be the last one is it yep lovely jby right that's the last one cool so obviously you can put some windows in as well if you want but I I don't want any okay I'm going to just keep this very solid very confined because I don't need to be looking out especially when the graphics look awful so now what we're going to want to do is add a door now the reason is so that we can actually get in so it's up to you what you want to do you can have a uh a big open one like so or you can have that little one or a double door completely you're cool I think we're going to go double door you know just because we'll do it like this if we add two in like that it'll be a double Gateway in so we'll add some tech doors in a minute and that'll finish that bit off that way it keeps it uniform cuz if you just have one it's going to be at a dodgy angle once we start snapping walls around it's yeah it will just it will kill the shape so let's put two down then we will finish up I can select it properly with uh some more Tech wall so we'll just again go all the way around like so and that that way yeah the Wall's not going to clip through our our doorway there excellent so yeah once again go all the way around and complete the walls let's go around this base and let's add some tech pillars and this will support the base and just give it a nice bit of character on the outside all the way down and it will fill any gaps that we've got left right so there and there double whammy perfect amazing nice love it now do you want to add defenses to this base of course we do obviously we've got Jeremy Megalodon who's uh skulling around somewhere where are you Jeremy who where is he I've lost my Shark how do you lose a shark where is he I can't believe it I've actually lost my shark right so do you want to defend this base of course you do so you can obviously attach Tech turrets to the side of the walls they'll snap to most things look so I'm going to get my tech triangle here I'm going to try and snap it like so there we go and then on this part perfect cuz I just want to give the base a little bit more shape so we're going to do that all the way around now it's a lot easier for some reason to snap it to this part and then this part instead of the other way around I don't know why that it just it just don't want to snap properly so always do it the way that I'm doing it like so so always this part and then it will snap to this part don't know why just is what it is right and we're done excellent so that's giving it a little bit more shape and it looks really cool it's very foggy down there now I don't know if that's the weather from above water affecting it maybe there's a storm anyways what we're going to do on these triangles is place our Tech turrets like so now if we disable the snap in there we go and they should sit on nicely like so look at that it's almost like we planned it so just put these on all the triangles that we've done and this will give you a uh nice bit of protection for your base my FPS has dropped so they should still be coming there we go come and get your food boys oh there's so many are they going to make it through if one touches me the base the base is done okay that's the rule oh no oh there's so many thanks again for watching everyone and please give a moment silence for Jeremy I still can't believe I shot him with the admin rifle I'm such a muppet and on that note be sure to check out my other Arc videos too if you want more build inspiration and I'll see you in the next video [Music] bye-bye
