Cozy Snow Cabin | Building Tutorial | ARK Survival Ascended

craving a Serene winter Escape welcome to the ultimate snowy Retreat today we'll Venture into crafting this breathtaking cozy log cabin nestled in the wintry Landscapes imagine stepping to a world of warmth and comfort a space boasting a delightful Lobby a toasty kitchen a state-of-the-art laboratory a lush Greenhouse spacious bedrooms a kennel for your wolves and even a dedicated Haven for your dodo companions as we delve into today's build remember to drop a like if you enjoying the video share what you want me to build next in the comments below and hit that subscribe button it's free and you'll be helping me out a ton now without further Ado let's get on with the video hello ladies and jelly spoons and welcome back to another building guide with me LS at Lance just want to give a real quick shout out to my last video which was a steampunk Bild it took me a long long time so do consider watching it after this one now today we find ourselves in the beautiful snow biome on Ark the island I chose here because of a few reasons one being that it's in a good location to get to get all your stuff so you got a big mountain up there you got a big mountain up here uh you got a biome over here that's not the snow biome and the snow biome literally starts here so it's in quite a good location uh also there's the snow cave just over here if I fly around look snow cave right here so that's also very useful that' be this close to you all right just so everyone knows this is on the map where we are latitude 27.7 longitude 35.2 So the plan is today there is no plan I just pooped I just pooped okay well I say there's no plan but quite a lot of you in the comments in the last two videos asked for some sort of snow cabin build so that's what I'm going to build today it just I have no plan about how I'm actually going to build it so my thoughts are even though I don't have a plan I'm thinking maybe a decking here coming out on the cliff side because I think it' be nice to have a way to get from the cliff down to this walkway that takes you past the waterfall here and then up here there'll be like a nice walkway coming up to the cabin that's what I'm thinking and yeah I'm thinking a cabin and also a laboratory of some sort up on this rock perhaps okay so I'm going to start with the decking here on the edge of the cliff and the reason I'm starting here is because the Cliff's sloping upwards and I if I start with this section here then I'm going to be able to use ceiling tiles going out this way and it goes back up hill again so probably Foundation Towes over here again so in the middle here will probably be pillars and ceiling tiles we'll find out in a second oh my God it has it's white I did not expect that why is so in the snow biome it just automatically turns white oh my God okay what does the stone do the stone also turns right what if you put oh no this could be bad what if you put this around it does it still stay no h i don't know if I like this and a a roof still white see that wouldn't make sense does it melt if I put a fire in here interesting well I didn't know that guys that's a new feature should you know that let me know about [Music] [Music] here [Music] [Music] so I've laid out a giant platform here some of this is decking of course out here and some of it will be the house I'm not going to count it yet though I will count it in a minute for you guys I just need to work out how much of this is actually going to be the [Music] house [Music] now this is the shape and size I've gone for for the cabin so it's not too big it's it's not too small it's just kind of a good size so starting at the back we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight walls the long side should be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 walls the front knb coming out is 1 2 3 4 5 walls then going in from the knb one two three walls uh one two three walls coming out to the left and then finally 1 2 3 4 5 6 7even walls coming down the short side now I've put these two pillars here because I think I want a decking coming out from the second floor I have done the walls going the outside walls this time I think what I'm going to do is do outside walls on the lower level and inside walls on the upper [Music] level [Music] now I have to say this is very unusual for me cuz I'm just not a square person in in artc I don't like to do things too Square I like things to be sort of rectangles and offshoots and all kinds of things so yeah a bit different for me and I think that is maybe I'll come out by one [Music] more [Music] you know I feel like I've always gotten really lucky with the last four builds that I've done on YouTube that they've turned out looking good I really hope this one turns out looking okay CU at the moment I'm scared about what I'm creating I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing but we'll we'll just keep going with the [Music] flow okay so I've added the second part of a decking here because I'm feeling like maybe this is a good spot to get to the laboratory which will be just here or the observatory wherever it's going to end up being on the second floor here I do want to switch the wall around so we've got the this side of the wall I don't know if this is going to look any good but one can only try and just see what it looks like [Music] so I've just realized that I'm not going to be able to have the pointy roof like I was imagining in my head because you've got to have multiples of two for a pointed roof you can't have five or you can't have any odd numbers basically it has to be 2 4 6 8 Etc okay guys I'm really sorry that I am going to make this one shorter so the back W is actually going to be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 not eight so sorry about that this is what happens when you make it up as you go [Music] along [Music] okay and just doing that has allowed me to do a pointy roof look at that so I've got my point back so even though it's a tad smaller I'm thinking I'm going to have a first floor little offshoot out this way that's going to emulate like a little garage or something so yeah definitely going to do that [Music] here so yeah I'm thinking maybe something like this 1 2 3 four walls in length and two walls coming out we'll see you know I'm not going to say that's final we'll see if I keep that or not that could be like a nice area for some direwolves or something actually so yeah I like yeah yeah yeah yeah I like that going straight in with the roof now this is what as well I mean I'm not hating the white I'm not hating the snow look on the wood I think it's kind of [Music] cool [Music] so for these sections of roof that aren't connected properly there's a perfect roof tile you can use which is not this triangle of uh roof tile but the other triangle roof tile this one it's a wood roof corner it's called and it fits absolutely bang on look at that so the reason why this isn't working is pretty simp simple actually it's just it perfectly connecting to the second floor so I'm going to take it down by [Music] one so literally just the line of walls and then let's put in a corner and a wool perfect and then we'll have the roof going across this now for the top part of the ceiling here all I'm doing is flipping it so we've got the underside that's what I'm using for the roof on the top okay that's a bit better I'm not 100% with that I think I'll make it look better later now just going to completely fill this up even though I'm probably going to come back to this change it later by adding in Windows and stuff I personally just like to fill in the whole building thing and then from there I'll start to add in Windows pillars all the details Etc now what could be fun here at the front of the build is if this goes in by a [Music] wall and you can have a doorway here [Music] nice so that's gone in by one and then I wonder if as well would be funky just to mix it up even further is having another upstairs section there that comes back out again is that going to look [Music] cool crazy bananas mode I'm thinking I'm just testing this out putting this wall in again by [Music] one so my crazy bananas mode decision was to put this wo further in than this wo so the wo used to be right here guys just so everyone knows it used to be here so that's where the wo was and now this Wall's gone back by two and two levels higher this wall has gone back by exactly one don't think it's even that noticeable to be honest so I don't know if it was worth doing like this I can't tell from here here that that's further out than this I'm just trying to add more depth to the build while I can not too shabby not too shabby but I do think I'm going to change the top decking now probably going to get rid of this layer here and expand out the pillars by one yeah I think that's a lot better like [Music] that yeah so that's the front at the moment subject to [Music] change [Music] looking pretty nice so far okay so what I think I'm going to do now is add in some pillars and some [Music] windows [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] la [Music] a [Music] okay guys this is what we're looking like with all the pillars in right now uh I've done some pillars going across the roof here to make it look like there's nice wooden beams coming across the roof to hold everything in shape which I quite like at the moment and of course just putting them across the walls here for the wooden beams and framework for the house just brings everything nicely together and I just realized I've missed this spot here so on this side I'm also thinking of doing a [Music] [Applause] [Music] decking [Music] okay well it's starting to take shape this is what it's looking like at the moment unfortunately with the decking here when I was expanding it out this way e the floor is in the way right here so I've just had to work around that area so now the floor kind of merges in with the the floor there [Music] just adding some stone walls the bottom of the decking here along with some Stone pillars just to hide any ugliness that's going on underneath there and it will already looks a lot better just with that [Music] [Applause] added decided to go for stone railings across the decking here I think that looks a lot better I'm actually thinking I want to extend the decking out this way maybe put a little fence along the edge here I'm not sure if I maybe want an area for dinos up here and like little areas for green houses perhaps I'm still arming and aring if I want an observatory here I think I'll try it out I just all I'm thinking is the house is actually I've done the house a little bit too close to this rock if the house was say three blocks to the right it would be perfect and I would have an observatory here but as it stands the observator is going to be right in the way of the house so not 100% sure unless I make it part of the house if I extend the decking out this way I'm not sure I'm going to have to experiment with that I'll show you everything I do try out but um yeah it may not stay I'll try it if it doesn't work it doesn't work and it will go over here instead in this nice area so I think first of all I'm going to start with trying this out [Music] here so just a really quick tip guys if you're trying to make a nice circular shape the best way to do it is use a normal Foundation followed by a triangle Foundation followed by a normal foundation and repeat all the way around so next will be triangle then we'll be normal then triangle and normal triangle then normal then triangle what it go yeah and then normal and then triangle and to if I just get rid of the middle we have a perfect circle look at that um and if you want to go bigger all you've got to do is do one more normal Foundation this way then do one one triangle two triangle three triangle then two then three triangles so on so [Music] forth so I'm thinking if I add stone walls going down it will help blend it into the mountain a bit the only thing is I'm getting stuck here on the sections in the middle so I can do one wall there and then when I come to do this wall it won't snap but I'm thinking I'm hoping this works if I put a pillar in ah I don't think the pillars are going to work either hang on a minute okay I don't need pillars all you need to do is point at the top wall here and then press RB for the second snap and that goes down genius I know so so look at here Obby click look at here Obby Obby oh no this one's not working uh let's try again look at this Obby Obby or okay maybe that one won't have it okay that one doesn't have it let's just pretend that doesn't [Music] exist I think I can can make this better by having a decking perhaps that goes up to it I think that will improve [Music] this [Music] [Music] it's a lot better with the decking coming out to it so that you can access it so next up I need to work out what to do over here now I'm thinking of doing loads of little domes over here um which means I need to have decking coming out this way with loads of different circular areas for domes all in different sizes I think would be quite cool all while making sure that this area here is accessible because I think I want to put some direwolves in here uh that you can park up and then take out when you need them so I need to make sure this area is definitely easy [Music] access so that is the first Circle which is the same size is the one as we put up here now I'm going to do the second Circle which will be a lot bigger so this one I'm going to do two walls wide now I'm worried this is going to be too big actually H yeah one two walls wide then I'm going to do one two three triangles and one two ceilings followed by three triangles followed by two normal and three triangles so you can see how this works when it comes to making a circular shape is very easy when you know the pattern very simple now I wanted to do a third circle that's smaller than the big circle and bigger than the little circle but it turns out it's impossible I tried off camera can't do it so it's just going to have to be the same size as the smaller one sadly yeah sadly it would just have to be the same size I think I think this is unless anyone else knows a way to make a circle a bit bigger than this I can't work it out [Music] n [Music] he [Music] [Applause] I'm well aware that I really budged this up it's a bit of a budge up job the decking cuz there's just things overlapping everywhere so when it comes to overlapping I saw a few people in the comments struggling to overlap you can't overlap with foundations you can only overlap with ceilings so just remember that if you do need to over use ceilings rather than Foundation but other than that always use foundations when you [Music] [Applause] [Music] can [Applause] [Music] la all right the first dome is in and yeah it's looking all right I think once the other two domes are in it will look a lot better so I'm going to do that [Music] now [Music] okay I actually don't mind what I've done but this is a bit too close to that I think I want it around here somewhere [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music] I like it not so much from this angle this angle needs Improvement but the other angle over there looks good this also looks good the house on this angle looks a bit funny I think I need to do something with the roof here um but yeah this is coming along I'm going to add some Stone wool below the research pods let's call them research pods that's a fun name for them I just pop that in here here and of course we need a way to get up to here so I'm thinking maybe either stairs or a ramp [Music] here now that I've got a way to get up there just going to test how big this area actually is with a mammoth let's see well he's going to fit up here quite nicely I think so we can fit a few up here I that's a nice spot for [Music] him [Music] so now I think it's time to move on inside and get to decorating the [Music] house [Music] la okay the ceiling is in which is the first floor that and I left a little gap for the refining Forge that I just put diagonally in the corner there if I go on up here we have the first floor and up here will be the second floor outside here I did change the walls to Windows so you could see out and up the top here I changed the windows walls on either side these were windows before I think that looks a lot better like that so here I'm just adding a simple stairway going up all good stairways deserve some railings Safety First and a couple of pillars to complete the look so up on this first floor I need to work out how I'm going to break this up so I'm going to start to do that now [Music] I'm actually going to bring this ball out by one here so that it blocks up the stairs and maybe I can put like a little toilet in here or something need to work out where the doors are going I'm thinking one here for a bedroom would be nice maybe a door here so they have an on Suite that little room I just made another door here and another door here and then in here we need to split the rooms apart so some walls going up and that just breaks this room into two now up on the top floor here I just need to work out how to split this up into some [Music] [Applause] rooms [Music] now you guys can see how I work when I do the interior I'm just uming and arring all the time and trying to work stuff out there's no right and wrong though it's really you just play about until you're happy with it I'm happy enough with this okay I need to work out what the hell's going on down here what I usually do to give myself ideas is I just keep walking in and out of the front entrance I just think what would I want to see as I come in here and immediately I'm thinking dodo reception area which I do in every single build what is wrong with me is that bad do I should I have another one I just I can't help myself what is wrong with [Music] [Applause] [Music] me so this is our reception area here where you'll greet the dodos who will let you into the facility and I'm I'm thinking here we'll have like a nice chill out Lobby [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so I'm thinking that on this side we can make a kitchen I think that's going to be a good place for it here kind of sad about that there's no light coming into this room but that's fine that is fine there's a a bit of light coming [Music] in hello it's editing Lance here just thought I'd give you a fun fact I crashed five times trying to build this kitchen so I had to do the kitchen five times over and over again I just kept on forgetting to save the game so this is the fifth time you're watching the final time and each time I did it slightly differently and this one I think turned out to be the best [Music] [Music] so [Music] okay I'm back upstairs now and I've just noticed a problem some of the ceiling beams that we put in downstairs are now of course showing on the upstairs and this is going to stop the elevator moving up and down so I think I'm just going to have to get rid of some of them [Music] unfortunately it's a massive shame because it looks really good down here with the wooden beams so yeah losing a little bit especially across here that's a big loss but sometimes it's just how it goes now moving on up the stairs and into one of the bedrooms let's start with this one we're going to decorate this room so now because of the pillars we're left with a bit of an issue here but I think I have a solution I think we're going to put the bed up here and down here we could have a closet of some sort so if I put a pillar in the middle and then we can put maybe a bookshelf or wardrobe in here let's let's go wardrobe and if I stack them then we can fit more in and keep it quite practical I'm literally going to do this whole room in real time for you guys so that you can see everything I'm doing so that is looking okay now I don't know what to do with the left side is the only thing maybe a toilet yeah a toilet in here would be fun so if I put a door on this side using the wall block here now I'm thinking probably a double door cuz it's going to be like a closet so that will look nice and then on this side I'll put a wall in here ah that wardrobe is going to be in the way isn't it yeah let's just pick that one up don't need that that's fine and then we'll add in a normal doorway right here so if I just get the normal doorway there we go perfect the top here we're going to add in our beds so I'm going to put one bed in the corner here and the second bed right next to it like uh so um and then maybe a pillar just to go up to the ceiling as well I think yeah but then we need a way to actually get up here so maybe h H will the quter walls work here and if I craft a ladder without this thing crashing put it in here okay see you come up here and you've got your bed very good then we'll just put a door here and a door here which means this is your closet and this is your toilet get a bookshelf in and couple of cute chairs this is nice isn't it and then he's got a cute little area up here add a storage box there and maybe one here even here and there cuz I'm crazy and just like that it's pretty much done hope you enjoyed that real time tutorial I don't usually do those so with the next bedroom here I'm actually just going to do everything in super fast build mode now so sit back relax and watch me [Music] go [Music] so we are on the top floor now so everyone [Music] [Music] STS [Music] so lastly this building out here is going to be a laboratory so I need to work out how to do the inside of this so we're going to do that [Music] now [Music] [Music] e [Music] okay I feel like this part of the laboratory is done okay one last thing I completely forgot about is I said at the beginning of the video that I'd get a Stairway to come down to this walkway down here so that is something I need to quickly [Music] [Applause] do [Music] [Music] okay guys the stairway is in now what I'm going to do now is go away do some final touches cuz it's pretty much done anything I don't show on camera now you I'll show you everything at the end I'll walk you through it all we'll have a look at the inside the outside all of it so I'll see you after the [Music] Showcase [Music] oh [Music] okay everyone I am back and I'm ready to give you the grand tour of this winter Lodge now there's a few tiny things I did do off camera but nothing major I will take us through everything so do not worry starting off with the front of the house here nothing really changed other than I think I put some boxes in here and I put these flower beds in that are just made with quarter walls and quarter ceilings then you put your crop box on top so that's a nice little feature coming on in we have the dodo reception these guys manage all of the lodger admin and they greet the scientists when they come in from a long hard day at work so much needed here coming on around here we have the main lobby area for all the scientists to come and unwind after a long hard day at work they can sit down do more research with all the books they've got in the bookshelf over there and I found something really cool out from just playing about you can make the canvases look like chalkboards if you reverse them so all I did was put a storage box down then I put a canvas facing this way onto as you can see here there's the canvas here I pasted it this way on to the storage box and then you can just snap them all together and you can take the storage box away and they stay so they're just floating there right now over here we have our kitchen that has everything that you may need it's got your grill so you can cook whatever you need in the morning and night your fridges over here and your barrels over here the only thing I added additionally as extra decoration was some wool mounts up here I've got one there and one over here and I think one over here as well obviously I put some boss heads on them which isn't that easily obtainable but you can put T-Rex Bone Heads on there that you get from killing the alpha T-Rexes so do that instead for a bit of extra decoration coming on outside here another bit of additional work I did it was put down some benches out here and some grills and some barrels just so it's like a nice little cookout area you come enjoy some food if you would like with all your trib mates coming on up the stairs we have a nice open fireplace here to keep us warm we have our elevator that goes up to the next level and we have our bedroom so coming on into our first bedroom here we have quite a nice size bedroom it's got two storage boxes of book shelf you got a desk here a nice open fireplace a way to get up to your bed and I've also got some canvas on the wall just to make a nice little pattern as a decoration which works quite well this one also comes with its own on Suite toilet and sink coming on out of that room and into this room is the room we did together earlier today we've got this beautiful Closet in here where you can get all your clothes and get dressed in the morning and of course we've got our toilet and sink in here as well going on up the stairs here takes us to our bed so we can go to sleep when night time comes but we stay warm thanks to our fire coming on out into the hallway we can go through where there's a nice little seating area here with a bookshelf and we've got our multi- person room in here so multiple people can use this room it's got a couple of storage boxes big storage boxes here see not as cozy as the other rooms it could definitely do with a fire in here probably and these guys have no know where to go to the toilet so they just got to do it on the floor then coming out of that bedroom you can go straight to the decking out here that takes to the outside world where you can look down at the beautiful River below and that lovely waterfall and there's also a way to get back down to the first level look at that hello but I'm going to go back inside and I'm going to take us to the elevator here's the elevator I'm going to bring it down come on down here it comes okay we're going to get on the elevator very very good and we come up to this lovely area up here we've got our dragon on a wool Mount up there that was an additional feature I added afterwards I obviously put all the plants in as well we had the croop pots down but I just need to plant some plants so got some craile and some savaro here and then we got two bedrooms here we've got one on the right one on the left so coming into the one on the left here this one's like the nicest room room in my opinion it's a big space I put canvas on the floor to emulate a rug which works very well I gave them some little plants here got some I think Narco berries in there I'm not really sure what they are and this guy also has his own on Suite in here look at that and a lovely lovely window to look out of from his bed coming on out of here and into here we have the other bedroom this is a sing room it's got some nice storage boxes in here some planters and a bookshelf nothing too crazy in here it could do with more light in here so I'd be tempted to put some Greenhouse roing in just to get a bit more ligh in but this room has its own private decking look at this so you can come out and enjoy the view what a beautiful view look at that if we come back down the elevator now I'll take us to our second decking here so this decking has the greenhouse on it so remember I was saying that this is going to be a laboratory no it ended up being a greenhouse I have a nice little seating area here with a campfire to keep us nice and cozy our big fluffy bear here hello buddy and yeah this is a greenhouse so you can come in what's really cool actually is what I forgot to mention is these plants have snow on them now in the snow biome but they didn't do it for Sav or any of the other plants just species X bit odd if you're going to do it then do it to all of them I'd say and they also need to remove the snow off any wood that's inside I don't know if this is a bug right now but it's a bit annoying but I don't hate it honestly I don't mind the snow look inside it just means it's super cold everywhere so I did put a fireplace in here as well because the plants need to keep nice and warm cuz it's so cold and that I believe concludes the inside of the lodge thank you for your time Mr and Mrs dodo coming on out here we have the kennels on the right the kennels are a place you can store your dogs or any other small creatures they work really well you can literally just walk them out and walk them back in so it's a very useful place to store your animals so next up are the domes now you know what are in one of the domes the big one but you don't know what in the little ones they're mystery cuz I did them off camera so I'll quickly show you in here we've got a place to store all your pets in my case they're just dodos um we got some feeding troughs around here are you trying to escape hey mister get your ass back in here what do you think you're doing so I've got a far place to keep them warm a nice big plant and yeah they're feeding trops in here I think they're happy well that that one's not that one just tried to make the Great Escape how dare he oh God something's happening is there a bird what's that bird doing so the second Dome here I actually turned into an Armory I thought this would be a cool place where you build all your weapons so I've got some gun turrets down I've got a little chemistry bench and a fabricator here I've got three vaults to store all your weapons and armor in so I think this is really cool room coming on out of this Dome we can go straight into the main Dome here which is the laboratory now this laboratory has quite a nice few features it's got plants in it for biology reasons over here we got a little break area for lunchtime breaks we got our chemistry benches over here our storage our fridges our fabricator our industrial cooker and more chemistry benches and in the middle we've got some nice St storage as well we got four four big vaults yeah can't count four big vaults in the middle all in a nice Circle so it's quite a nice little Dome this coming on back out we've got the main decking area here where you can just keep all your animals so I mean I've only got three mammoths on here right now and a bear and some direwolves but look at all this look at all this rle estate here you got loads of places to put all your dinos so it's uh it's a nice big space so the stairs are quite an easy design I know I did these in like a super fast build mode so you might have not seen everything but they basically all you do is two stairs down then two ceiling tiles and two stairs down and two ceiling Towes two stairs down two ceiling Towes so on so forth until you get to the ground look at that and then pillar placement I tried to be quite neat with my pillar placement all four corners on some of them three corners on that one because it looked a bit weird with a pillar coming down here if I go up into the sky you can have a better view yeah having a fourth pillar on that one looks a bit odd so I kept that one off and yeah it looks like it's a really nice addition I almost completely forgot the only other additional thing I did was outside here so next to the kennels here all I've done is add a little railing in a pillar some quarter walls and some more railings and that just divides off a nice little section for you to do all your smithing out here so you got smithing tables storage and some furnaces out here as well so really nice little touch just to fill in some space okay guys I think that's the build for the day don't forget to comment below what you want me to build next smash the like button and also subscribe if you would like it's free and you'll be help me out out of time really appreciate you guys and love you guys to death I'll see you in the next [Music] video [Music] [Applause] [Music] n
