Base Building Guide for Ark Survival Ascended! Tips/Tricks for a Better Base in ASA!!

yo guys what is up it's teach here coming at you again with another video over on Ark survival ascended and I wanted to show you some Base building tips and tricks that you can use in order to build an epic base inside of Ark survival ascended now I'm I'm going to talk to you about everything from the very Basics to Advanced Techniques that you can use to kind of simplify and make things run better for your base now why should I be someone that you trust for this I've got over 12,000 hours in Arc survival evolved and I've already basically played I'd say at least 300 hours inside of Arc survival ascended kind of sad but you know I love it um so I'm going to go and show you all kinds of new things little tricks tips to use all of the new building features now there's a lot so I'm going to go in quick as I can but it's going to be a longer video so sit down and hopefully you enjoy this now this again I if you don't mind smack that like button leave a comment below for the algorithm and consider subbing to the channel because I'm getting close to 100K and that's kind of been my dream all along so we're going to start with the building basics right now they've changed some core things about this so when it comes to foundations walls and all that kind of stuff let's start with the basics if you're building you want to start out in a flat area because flat areas allow you to get better overall everything right because you're going to have more simplistic things you're going to be able to not have to mess with too much so we're starting over on herbivore Island if you haven't been here before it's an awesome place to start first off with foundations now if you click once you can actually move them up and down and rotate what you actually want to do is find the nearest ledge or the area of incline and you want to raise that Foundation to that point and kind of line it up with the edge the reason we're going to do that is because we're actually going to gain space that we can use see that kind of leans over the edge a little bit um and and I did that for a reason I'll show you in a second but we want to gain that edge because the more space we can utilize the better off we are because we want to build a nice big base with the opportunity to expand if we absolutely want to right so the big thing you want to aim for is you want to make your your base a total of five wide five wide is a very important number and I'll show you in just a second and once you make it five wide you're going to want to make it a total of six across now 5x6 is actually the perfect base size inside of Arc because it allows you to fit everything that you need inside of the game now go ahead and show you how to fix that issue that I had right over there in just a second and you're going to place all of your foundations down first because you want to be able to make sure you have a nice flat area now if you don't have a flat area like I've just experienced right here I even though this can be a flat area if you aim towards the top it'll actually raise your foundation up to meet the edge um in some cases maybe that's a little too low but you can see how this one's not perfectly flat now what you can do inside of Arc in order to compensate carry a couple of ceilings on you and ceilings actually perfectly line up you can see it right there with foundations now so you can make that perfectly flat area for OCD Builders like myself now again you can see that we've made our nice little 5x6 structure next next thing we want to move on to is walls now I'm going to move on to the walls and there's basically going to do something special for each corner but we're going to go ahead and put walls the entire way around our base um and the difference between walls in this act why am I not able to place that's frustrating um and basically the difference between walls in this mode is that you can actually Place walls and actually have control over the types of walls that they are I'm going to go and place my first layer down so you can kind of see what I'm talking about um but yeah it's kind of frustrating because sometimes it the clipping is great but unfortunately it does this where it occasionally places a wall a big update that they added in Arc survival ascended is you can now pick up a wall at any point in time it does not matter so what you can actually do at any point pick up your wall and then if you go ahead and use the r command you can change what that wall becomes anything from a short doorway double doorway uh window walls and then secret doorway my favorite thing that they added is the secret doorway and you can literally go ahead and place this right here um and you can actually pick up your wall going to go and show you and then anytime just pick up that wall and add a new one and it's going to allow you to escape through that wall I like to place one at each of my Corners inside of a base because in case I need to get out of that door for any particular reason I can just go ahead and use that to open the door and you'll see that it actually looks like metal wall it just adds the ability to go and hit e on it in order to open close it that's the only difference between this wall and this wall super useful feature now now that you understand you can put the corners on the last thing that I would do if you're in an area that's a little more dangerous I would go ahead and add yourself in a window like this right here because being able to shoot out of this but nothing can get into it is a huge Advantage but you don't have to do that if you're more of someone that's like me that just likes how things look like that go and leave it like that now the next thing that we're going to do the reason that we left a two opening right now is because doorways and walls snap and we're going to go and place a metal gate down this allows us to get any creature of good good size inside of our base and it just gives us an easy access point if we don't feel like using a door just for ourselves right now the cool thing about a gate in this mode is it actually lines up to be exactly three tall see how it l lines up perfectly and that's exactly how tall we're going to make our base conveniently right so we're going to go ahead and make this I'm just going to go and go around in a circle here and the reason that we're doing this like this is because we want to make sure that it's all nice and set up for when we want to do this now inevitably you're probably going to build that in the very beginning and that's okay because you just want to get your shell and then eventually upgrade to metal because metal is just better overall it can take more hits and it's just a better overall structure now we've got our giant little building right here right so now what we want to do is actually kind of a cheeky little thing we're going to go ahead and build our ceiling just like this come on now thank you and we're going to go ahead and build a layer of ceilings across just this first little section now the reason that we're we're only doing it for this first section right here why is it so difficult sometimes to line up ceilings it bothers me sometimes but you know it is what it is so as long as you point your arrow at it it should actually link up there we go so the reason that we want to add it like this is because we're going to go ahead and leave this as an area that we can use for height and we're going to go ahead and use uh Greenhouse ceilings on the rest of this build now the reason that we're going to do that is we're actually going to have a integrated um Greenhouse inside of our base and that's a huge Advantage inside of Arc I love doing Greenhouse builds um because we're going to be able to actually add a bunch of functionality to our base and what why did that place down there whatever and it's it's just going to in the long run this is our goal right so you can put ceilings for the short term here but in the long run you're going to want to add green houses now the last thing we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and add a mini box is what I call it um and you're going to have three walls and we're going to have a basic ceiling on top of this and this is just going to give us the ability to get on top of the roof using a set of metal stairs now other than adding an awesome Ambiance you can see that we've got the generic core structure of any base build down we've got all of our place nice and secured and then you've got two options you can either use a ladder or you can use stairs in order to get up to that I'm going to go and show you why I prefer stairs but this is up to you you can see it adds uh shallow metal that's actually not what I wanted I want the ASR stuff trying to show you this right now metal ramp roof and stairs now you can see that I can actually change the type of stuff that I'm using in order to kind of move around this and you can see how this is kind of cool you can build these like ramp ways and stuff I'm just going to make it nice and simple for myself I like to use metal stairs and then you can go ahead and hit Z in order to rotate around the actual points in which you can use and I like to set it up like either this corner right here so you can kind of just run up like this and you get up to your roof but you know you can do however you want so now you want to kind of keep it on one side because we're going to use all of this space up here now now the reason that I have this here is we're going to go and place some more ceilings right here and you can use all of this just like you see me doing right here in order to place our Greenhouse in the future so we've got all of our basic building techniques down right and we're going to go ahead and just show you what it looks like even though I haven't even gone into placing the actual structures yet this kind of base is a very oh my goodness I keep placing things down wrong um but it's a very good generic base build so we've got ourselves a nice little inner area this is where we're going to have all of our crop plots up here with the greenhouse effect up on top it's going to give us a huge advantage and then we're just going to be able to place everything there now on the base floor right we've got everything that we need in our inventory but obviously you're not going to be able to get all this endgame stuff right off the bat but you can essentially just build it and then destroy it and add the endgame stuff in place so what we're going to go ahead and do is we're going to go ahead and use this front door as our example whenever you enter this gate you want to leave this first 2x two kind of un with nothing there because you want to be able to quickly get inside left right straight whatever you need to do and kind of just have an open space it's a lot easier that way but directly next to where you're at what I like to do is I like to place a feeding trough because a lot of times you're just going to have a random crap that you have in your inventory that you can quickly throw into a feeding tro and uh what you're going to be able to do is just toss it in there let your dinos eat real quick that are nearby and it's a huge huge Advantage right you can see why that would be effective it's just a nice little dump place if you want to in it that way now the next thing you want to do is have a vault nearby what I like to do is you can either have it in the corner like I have see how this like snaps to the wall right here quite conveniently I like to place it just outside of that 2x two box that I was talking about but it doesn't matter as long as it's somewhat close to the entrance so you can kind of have like a junk box junk drawer and you just toss it inside nice and convenient and you just put everything you need right there all right next up industrial Forge very large structure right you can see how this would cause a problem I don't like putting this inside of the Bas base because it just wastes a whole bunch of space so what we do is we build a nice little flat area on the outside of Base we're going to go and open these close those essentially when they close all of a sudden we can place this down and we build a nice little Landing Pad right now I like to build this um you can do this however you want I like to do a two wide structure and then with this last Corner over here I end up usually doing this right here 1 2 3 4 by three now you don't have to build any of this you can technically fit it on the inside I just just like to so do this as you wish but it'll snap quite nicely to this right here right you can see this right here now what you can do a secret little trick pick up that metal wall that thing does a good job of blocking the entire thing you now have access to a industrial Forge inside and outside of your base you can technically slide it a little closer and get cheeky with it by removing snap points I'm going to go ahead and do that real quick where was my there is industrial Forge and I'm going to go ahead and disable snapping by holding Z and then you can kind of of place this right about move a little bit closer right there all right so now you can see I definitely can't get inside this area I can kind of Crouch my way in if I needed to but it's going to give me access to that metal industrial Forge inside and outside of my base which is a huge advantage and because of that I'm going to use a generator that's the next thing we're going to place down and we're going to go and enable snapping on this guy I like to place this right next to my stairs CU you see it all the time so you can actually see how much uh element or whatever you have to be functioning on is inside of it if you are running off of gas that is totally fine by the way you just want to make sure you see how it says fuel in there you want it somewhere that you can easily see it so I like placing it next to the stairs cuz I go up and down the stairs a lot all right so once you have generator you can turn on your actual industrial Forge and that's a huge Advantage now next to your industrial Forge right we're going to go and place all of our other important stuff we're going to go and unsnap this guy and you can actually see how I'm going to place it here we're going to move a little bit closer and and we're going to place this right there now the reason we're going to place this like this we want a little bit of room to run behind it is because this allows us to look on both sides of this and access and just be able to push things in and out of the fabricator without having to try very hard now the next thing we're going to do is we're going to place the Smithy on the other side now where's my Smithy did I not make one there it is we're going to go ahead and do the exact same thing but it on this side so now I've got a Smithy on one side of my industrial Forge my fabricator on the other and you've got easy access to a nice little pad of being able to access things without any effort at all you don't have to go ahead and move around you can do your metal runs outside of your base and then if you really wanted to get tricky with this you can actually place this wall um and use it as this right here a kind of window and you can access it through the window that's up to you if you want to do something like that if you want to make your base look nice and pretty like that that's a fun thing to do all right so now that we've got that right what we're going to go and go to next is we're going to move into the other things that are of importance and industrial cooker you can do this downstairs but because all of our stuff that we're going to be using for the industrial cooker is going to be upstairs I like to go ahead and place this against a wall easy to access upstairs now this is where we're going to place all of our crop plots so we can essentially just place our crop plots next to that so there's your industrial cooker we're in the shortterm non-industrial cooker based stuff so next thing industrial grill right now this is another one of those things you want to place near the front door because we have access to our trough right there I'm going to go and place it near our that area go and turn it on because when we walk into the base I want to be able to have quick access to cooking the meat and all that kind of stuff now we've got everything that's Basics there are some other nice things that are to have access to right industrial grinder very large object guess what we built that nice little pad outside for this reason exactly now what you can do you don't have to put it here I like to place this thing on the outside of my base now if you're playing a PVP server duh don't place it on the outside I tend to place it somewhere near one of these Corners because they are so massive they take up so much wasted space inside of a build the other thing you can do if you want to get cheeky is you can technically put a layer just like I am right now on thank you and you can go ahead and place your actual structure of that industrial grinder up on top of this layer so you can still access it and put it inside of your base right because now it's nice flat area I can place this up on top of my stuff and we should be good to go now cool thing you can jump and reach this thing and you're good to go now if you want to build a Stairway up to it you can but that's entirely up to you notice how it kind of makes a lot of noise so I tend to turn it off so this is a very compact build this is not our breeding facility but this is all the basics that you need now you can obviously upgrade to your uh Tech trough or you have your Tech Rey you see how massive this structure is this is one of those things that you're going to want to place outside your base or build a much bigger base in general it's up to you if you want to I and I usually on my single playthroughs don't actually even get to a uh Tech reppy but you can place this right on the outside right there I just don't like doing it I'm I never make it that far in my actual modes um so we've got all of our Basics right here right so you've got all the endgame stuff we've got vaults and what I like to do we're going to go to enable snapping and with that we're going to go ahead and see how I can place all of these and it's going to fit four right there you have one of your dropboxes you got one for armor Saddles whatever you need you got four massive storage locations and you've got everything else that's accessible now the reason that we're kind of building like this is because everything is nice and clean you can easily upgrad you can easily change things around and you can easily access things with the important areas that you need to access them now the last thing that I'll tell you right you are eventually going to get to a point where you want to have access to a tech replicator if you're on a PVE e server put it out in front of your base it wastes so much space and it's just I mean eventually you just want to have a giant grind pad is what they're called and you basically just build this giant structure out in front of your base and you put all of your Tech Rey and your important stuff right out in the front of your base I'm going to get rid of this because I don't actually need it technically I will typically place this un snaap please thank you um and you can place this right on the outside just like you see me doing right here and I'm going to move it a little further back you want to basically move it so it doesn't block your way into base so move it as far as you can down this area really thank you should be pretty good right there so now we've got access to a tech tech reppy if you want to go one more further back you could but that's entirely up to you all right so now we've got all of our basic builds right we've got all of this done this is your base you have everything placed in here that you could possibly need vaults reies everything I'm going to remove the Rey because I just don't care about it the last thing and the last kind of big thing that you hit inside of Arc is your you see it right in front of me right here this is your Chemistry bench the reason that we've got this built like this is with your Smithy you want to waste a minimal amount of space so we go ahead and place the chemistry bench right in in line with that Smithy and you suddenly have a perfect solo player base it's very easy to use and it's just a lot of it's just a lot of fun right very simple all of these builds you got plenty of space everything that you could need could fit inside of this next thing that we're going to do and kind of like the last thing before we go into like a a building pen um if you want to uh yeah this is going to go ahead and have your crop plots these are going to be right here you can use by the way large is only useful for the like a plant species mediums and Smalls are your best friend and what you do is you essentially do not use your snapping early you snap them after you place one down um and then you can kind of like place them like this and show you that and then you turn on snapping after you've placed one down because they will actually snap uh snap up to six tall and that's perfect that's what we want to do his snapping six tall will allow you to reach all of them without actually jumping and then you kind of I don't know why this one's not letting me fin angle it but you should be able to fin angle it pretty easily into this middle one I may have messed up a little bit but six tall will allow you to access all of them without actually jumping and inside of the small ones you're going to place your berries all of those types of berries and stack those up nice and high and inside of your mediums you're going to place your other things you can stack them or make them look like this it depends on what you prefer for like your ocp inside of Arc and again stack these six tall as well um I think I actually stacked them five let's go to six right there boom and everything that we need is now inside of this base nice and easy to access it super easy right everything's up here and then all you have to do is go over to your industrial cooker once you inevitably want to use that now you've also got a nice little area where you can drop down and this is not too tall where you're going to take damage from dropping big benefit right Too Tall don't take damage so everything that we need is inside of this base build right so cool what else can I teach you tips and tricks wise so we've talked about the basic structure of what you need inside of Arc tips and tricks if you're playing on a PVE server move everything on a grind pad outside so you don't waste space inside of your base that means placing things like your Chemistry bench Fabricators and smiies outside next to your industrial Forge turning off snapping will enable you to place things right next to each other to waste as little space as possible just like this right here right um placing things like your industrial cooker next to this guy right here your Chemistry bench is a very nice thing in the end game because you want to play structures that often use each other next to each other that's why you want the Smithy next to your getting over to it your fabricator because this one will use bullet bullets from this guy and you kind of can go back and forth without actually moving to place like structures next to each other smiy and fabricator should always place nearby the chemistry bench should always Place somewhat nearby this guy up here but it's not a big waste right as long as you have your industrial cooker and your Smithy or your um chemistry bench somewhat near each other because things are pretty light in those that's your best bet last thing place all of these guys next to this always because you don't want to have to run very far so those are your first lay layer very simple tricks right next thing you can do for every structure inside of your base you can use this concept sorry I had to cough right there but you can use that door concept so you can actually just open the door in order to access the backside of those structures so I can just access the industrial Grill and then close the door like it never happen and then go inside my base right if I want to access these vaults I can do the exact same thing and build a metal wall behind those vaults that will actually allow me to access those and that's like a layer two intermediate trip like a little trick that you can use right now you want to maximize the space you have inside of Arc so the closer you can get things together the better off you are and what you can actually do we can use quarter walls right so if you haven't seen the quarter walls quarter walls are pretty awesome wow q u a r wow I can't spell at all I'm going to go and use actually I'm going use Stone so you can kind of see the difference between the actual walls and regular walls using quarter walls like this is going to be something that you are technically can Crouch into just like this but it's a half of those walls so it's even though it says quarter wall it just takes up a quarter of that wall but it's half the height now with half the height you can place a Smithy on top of another Smithy save yourself some excuse me save yourself some room I'm going to goe and place some of these quarter walls down and use my these to my advantage right why can't I it's not going to snap over here what that's what I'm looking for so you can technically place a quarter wall down just like this I'm I'm not going to make it look pretty this time but I can place one of those down and then in that little half space I can also fit structures now as long as that structure can fit inside of that zone it'll light up green you can kind of see how this lights up green no it's not very pretty but you can stack things on top of each other just like you're seeing me do here with quarter walls and you can do this at any point inside of your base to use quarter walls to kind of St things like that now you can do that in order to maximize your space as well you can kind of Stack chemistry benches half off set with each other using quarter walls and then you could stack smiies on top because they they're nice and small so there's how you Half Stack things now you've got all of this in your nice little base the other things that you want to know right you're eventually going to get to the point where you're exclusively using Tech to build because a tech replicator will essentially replace everything inside of your base you can see how it literally will make everything for for you right everything can be crafted inside of a tech reppy so you don't technically need anything else but those Tech reppies just so you can see are three and 1 half tall so you actually need to make a four tall base to fit a Rey inside of your base um but you don't have to just keep that in mind and they run off of your electric generator so just have this somewhere in the middle of your base your Tech generator in order to power everything in your base now all of that being said you can do whatever you want I'm going to give you a couple more tips and tricks just quick ones cuz I know we're getting to a pretty long video at this point in time with your base right utilize your roof because this is one of the most underused things in like a PVE base you can technically Place anything up here reppy beehives whatever you want to place up here can be placed up here you can place plant species X for defense purposes you can put them on your Corners in order to make sure that nothing can get near your base you can put anything up here if you want to have a landing pad for where you like you land your argentavis or your birds on top of your base have them right here and then run inside of your nice little zone right here in order to access your base utilizing your roof is kind of like an endgame thing that people forget that they can do even as simple as having a vault a drop Vault on top for when you inevitably need one just on the corner right because you're going to run into your base you're going to want to toss stuff in and out of it and then have that so having a drop vault is a super important thing now next thing I'm going to show you last thing and I'm going to kind of like this is an organization thing Tech uh dedicated storage it's kind of one of the best things that you can use in r and one of the things that people kind of forget that you can do with it you can actually use this thing enable snapping in order to actually place it inside of the floor so it will kind of snap nice and peacefully if we can get it to work see how it kind of like goes like that there we go you can actually snap these on top of itself and make these your floor inside of AR now fortunately I'm not going to be able to snap for some reason because it's not going to let me but you can place anything as as a floor and I'm going to go and move this and it'll snap to the side oh wow it snapped to that whoopsies but you can you got you saw what I was trying to do right so you can actually Place those um in your floor and make Tech foundations and Tech um dedicat towards your actual floor inside of our so this is a ton I know it's a 25 minute video and this is all your basic level stuff we can go into much more advanced depth building but this will give you everything you need to know to have a very functional base for your first few bases and give you some just hopefully even those of you that have watched this are a little more advanced Builder some Advanced Techniques of actually staggering things in order to make sure that they work inside of your base that's all I got I don't want to make this too much longer I'll do an advanced tips video as well let me know what else you'd like to see inside of the comments below and uh outside of that [Music] teach [Music] a
