welcome to my first ever ocean build on the map today we are here latitude 45.8 longitude 17 this stunning area boasts a shallow yet vibrant Coral wreath providing an ideal canvas for our construction Endeavors today with a picturesque waterfall setting the scene and abundant Land Resources nearby it's the perfect spot to craft a home for our water tame companions now to get started I'm going to show you a command that's going to really help you out with this build because currently if I go into the ocean jump in it's pretty low visibility down here I'm not going to be able to see a lot while I'm trying to build but if I press Tab and type in R do volume metric fog and it should come up VI so I'm going to just select that and then space zero that removes all of the fog in the world which enables you to see perfectly clear underwater which I think is this is what it was like in Arc survival evolved but for some reason they changed it in AR ascended to make it so murky down there you can see anything definitely utilize this to help you see underwater because otherwise it is very hard to build under here so I think I'm actually going to start right where I said I was at the beginning here 45.8 longitude 17 that is where I'm going to start and I'm going to start by just going down underwater here and placing a pillar now do I have a pillar on me I do okay let's start this so first pillar goes in and we're going to go up to about here that's kind of a perfect height I like that so from this pillar we want to put a ceiling tile to the right like so and we're going to do two this way and then we're going to do something that if you're familiar with my channel I've done before we're going to make a circle so I've gone one two then I'm going to do one two three so when you unable to place another ceiling tile all you need to do is put in your pillars going all the way down into the water like so and it should enable it so you can place another one look at that so we're going 1 2 three and then 1 2 and literally guys you're going to do the same pattern all the way around so 1 2 main ceiling tiles followed by 1 2 3 triangle ceiling tiles and then so on so four and then you go back to one two normal ceiling Towes and then you do triangles and you're going to make a circle this way so let's do that now so now you should have a nice round platform that looks something like this so the next stage is just to fill in the inside with your wood ceiling tiles so let's do that right now [Music] perfect and if you do run into the issue where it says you can't place it without Foundation support all you need to do is put another pillar going down into the ocean so this is going to be the main building and then I'm thinking we'll probably have another building going up and then a walkway that leads to some sort of water pen now obviously with the water pen it can't be in the shallow water which is here where we're building it will need to be on the edge here um so that you can put your water tames in and out easily in the Deep part of the ocean so that's kind of why I chose to build right on the edge of this Coral wreath here so next we're going to add the walls going up to do this I think I'm going to leave these two sections open here so this section and this section here I'm going to leave open on this corner I'm going to start from here with outside walls actually I've changed my mind just temporarily I'm going to put in some door frames these are going to disappear after I've gone up a little bit I think because I would like to have some nice dinosaur Gates here or just leave it nice and exposed so you can just walk in out very easily so from here we're going to do some inside walls along the top here and go [Music] up so in total I've gone up one two 3 four five walls in total from the bottom so because a lot of you are going to be building this in survival I would say the next stage rather than put the roof on we're going to do the decking out here so you've got more room to work with to do the decking is very simple all you have to do is where you've got Square ceiling Towes on the inside you'll put a square ceiling tile on the outside and when you got a triangle ceiling tile on the inside you'll put a triangle ceiling tile on the outside like this look at that and that's all you've got to do and it's expandable you just keep going out if you need to like so um so I'm going to do two layers for now and that just gives you a little bit of room to work with to be able to access the outside of this build [Music] okay there we go so I've actually gone out 1 two three from the building that's how far I want to go for now whether or not I go further later I'm not 100% sure we'll find out so now that we've got a bit of walking space around the build let's sort out the roof for the roof it's very simple again all you need to do is use your standard roof blocks followed by the triangle roof blocks and you repeat that all the way around and I'm also going to do an overhang coming down [Music] now for the top here I've just added some seiling tiles going around upside down ceiling tiles that is um but I'm thinking I want to do some sort of funky design on top of the roof here uh I could probably try and do like a little Archway at the top with our holes either side to let some smoke out let's give that a go I don't know how successful this is going to [Music] be I mean to be extra eccentric you could add some ramps like this if it lets you clip through that is if it doesn't let you clip through then I guess you can't do this I always you know it's you never know on official if it's going to let you what does that look like well now that that's kind of done if we come down here I know that I want my front door here on this side so I'm going to block this off now with some [Music] walls like so and then let's open this area up right here so let's remove those and these and these so that will be our front door right here now whether or not I put a dinosaur gate here is another question I think for now let's just add some nice pillars in [Music] so so now you should have pillars going around the entire build I did do mine pretty uniform just in each corner I placed them going up and down and then I did them going all the way around on the lower section and the upper section there for the windows here we go let's get rid of some walls here so 1 2 3 4 so we got a big old Gap there ready for a window and I think for the window rather than placing some Greenhouse glass in here I'm going to try and use the railings to come up with some sort of design and let's see let's go up diagonally like this can I do the same going down please let me it does okay and the other way it did let me now how can I improve this further let's see maybe we'll do railings at the bottom and railings at the top and I think that will be the window design quite a simple one I could go a bit crazy with it but let's keep it simple let's do the same thing on this side and maybe around the back as well okay windows are all in all I've done is where I did my last window I've skipped a whole section done another window skipped a section done a window skip SC a section done a window so there's Windows all the way around this build so we have our main structure here now I'm thinking of having another structure not as big as this one but pretty big and it could possibly come off of this building maybe like a little walkway coming to another building on stilts going all the way up okay so here's what I'm thinking I want to do from here I'm thinking from the main door here we're going to go one section two section the third section here I think I'm going to try and bring out some ceiling tiles one two 3 one two three yeah and then I'm thinking a building connected to this could be quite fun so let's see we're going to have to add some pillars in [Music] now and then from here I think we're going to go 1 2 3 4 and this is going to be the start of the building I think so these two tiles here will be the start which means I probably need more pillars sadly let's put these in perfect and then from here we're going to go out one triangle then two ceiling tows then we're going to need some more support so let's get this pillar back in then one triangle two ceiling Towes and we're going to do that all the way around so two ceiling toes one triangle two ceiling tiles one triangle until you've done a loop back to where you started and then you should have a little platform that looks like this so we're just going to fill in the inside with [Music] triangles uh amazing and now we're going to go up with the walls similar to what we done over here we're going to do outside walls at the bottom and inside walls going [Music] up [Music] okay so for the walls I've just gone up 1 2 3 four high so you want to go four high all the way around and then we're going to basically do the same roof from this one on this one [Music] so for the top of this roof I'm thinking of doing something very similar to what I've done here the only thing is the dimensions are completely different here so I really need to work out how I'm going to do it and I'm thinking I want want it similar to how I've done this the front uh of the build here with the door you have the opening here I want to do here so this is the door and we'll have the opening here now the only way I think I can do this is is if I use the triangle roving so let's give this a go now I have no idea what I'm doing here let's see if we put one in there maybe one in there maybe one there and here and here and here kind of like an eagle look at that let's see what this is going to look like I think it's going to look awful but you never know until you try am I [Music] right okay uh verdict is I don't like it verdict is I don't like it but I don't hate it so for now I'll keep it and yeah I'll come back to it whatever I do to that in the future I will let you know how I've done it um if I even touch it again so looking back here I'm wondering if actually would be nicer to have a little stairway going up rather than having a flat straight bridge going across here if we get rid of these bits and then actually keep the this bit here ooh we could use a ramp here going up on both bits that would mean that we need to delete the bit I just said put back in whoops let's delete that quickly that never happened I never said that I am making this up on the spot if you didn't realize already some of this so yeah uh this was going to happen I'm kind of Designing with you right now I don't hate that so I think with the pillars here now that we got got the pillar spot here I'm probably going to move the pillars to here now and these are going to have to go down through the water so we're going to have to go underwater here and then place your pillar all the way down to the floor and then on this side as well all the way down and then we should be able to pick this up like so I don't know what I'm creating right now but I'm creating I'm cooking let me cook so with the windows for this build we're going to do similar to this but the only difference I'm thinking is and I don't know how this is going to work so we're going to do this together now is we're going to get the quarter walls here put the quarter walls in across then we're going to delete these these two bits up here and put quarter walls across this as well there we go okay that's interesting and I might put a pillar going up to the top and yeah we'll probably have pillars on this side as well I'm just seeing what this is going to look [Music] like and we'll have pillars going around the base and maybe just like that and then maybe we can do some railings here so let's think about this so one two now do we keep the railings plain and simple just going up like this or do we do something a bit more exciting with them I think we'll just keep them plain Jane for now and then let's add some some quarter walls going along the middle and I like that I think that looks [Music] good and we'll do that all the way around so not we'll do one here one here one here wherever there's a double wall I I'll do it so yeah let's do that all the way around shall we oh okay as you can see all the pillars and windows are uniformly it all the way around and a little additional extra I did is just at the front door here so where the doors are I did add a window up here just by removing the wall putting some quarter walls 1 2 3 4 and then the railings again so yeah looking pretty nice there and honestly the roof is starting to grow on me this bit is starting to grow on me it still looks bizarre but uh I don't hate it as much as I did but I first put it in so that's a good sign you know I'm looking at this now thinking this roof looks funny rather than that roof what is wrong with me this is something I am going to revisit at the end I think uh so do be aware that that might change so maybe leave your top bits of your roofs for now if you want to copy my design now we really need to start thinking about the water pen and where that's going to go I'm thinking it's going to go under here I do have some animals down here waiting patiently for me to build this water pen for them so if I go up here let's think about this I think I want like a nice walkway coming out here and maybe that turns into a nice big semicircle which goes out into the open ocean a bit here so I can put a nice big fence around here in the ocean which is going to require a ton of stone or wood I'll probably use Stone because that's obviously more safe for the animals uh that makes a lot more sense so yeah like a nice semicircle here of wall or fence or something let's figure this out now so I think starting from this line here next to the doorway this is where we're going to bring our walkway [Music] out so I've just added in some pillar support either side the there and we're going to go out here by let's say two three let's say three we're going to put in a fourth and this is where I think I'm going to start to go around in a giant semicircle now I hope this is going to look good in my head I'm it's going to be like a giant cresant Moon uh so let's try this one two three four let's do five 1 2 3 4 5 okay okay so I've done 1 2 3 4 5 so I'm thinking we're going to just make sure that there's always five blocks on the outside so this is going to be the inside that's going to be the outside so let's see here do one two so we need to get the pillar in here Bam Bam Bam and then let's continue 1 two 3 four five so that's five 1 2 3 4 5 perfect that's exactly what we want another [Music] pillar then 1 2 3 four five so this is where it's going to probably start to be a bit more resource heavy because we're going to have to start taking the pillars into the deeper ocean here to get all the way to the floor so we have Foundation support so just be aware of that so what we've done here making sure there's five on the outside at all times we're just going to keep going all the way around until we have a nice semicircle so let's do that [Music] now [Music] [Music] and there is the semicircle look at that a Big C that's what we've made and in terms of the dino space in the water so what I was thinking is from this block all the way across to the other block on the opposite side would be a big wall going across which would give about this much room inside for a pen I could bring it out one more [Music] actually okay so yeah I've added one more on this side and one one more on that side just to be safe just to bring it out by one more and we'll bring pillars all the way down from [Music] here now that the semicircle is going all the way around we should be able to from this pillar to this pillar put in a wall that's going to be our little water pen really and we'll put a behemoth gate down here somewhere and some little Gates somewhere around here as well I think this could all work quite nicely I think we'll come back to that cuz that's going to be quite a big job putting all those walls in I think right now we're going to add in some cute little Huts coming off this semicircle I don't know if you've ever seen those holiday resorts in the moldes or some Caribbean islands where they've got these little hearts on stilts in the water but I'm thinking on the semicircle here we could add some little Huts going out for the you know tribe mates or guest bedrooms Etc I think that could be quite a fun idea so let's start on this one here so we've done five so that means we got a middle piece so on the third piece in if we go out by three and then put our pillars going down for support and then on the fourth one we can add in our little Hut so we'll just do a simple triangle square triangle all the way around to make a circle okay and let's build up the [Music] walls perfect so I've gone one two three WS high and then we're going to add the roof [Music] in now let's try out a funky roof design here I'm thinking using the ramps now do they clip into each other they can clip into each other I don't know if they can clip into each other on official so you you guys going to have to let me know if this is possible on official if it's not I'd recommend just doing a flat roof on top so next I'm just going to add some pillars all the way around the [Music] build and lastly we need some windows now I'm thinking of doing what I did here with the quarter walls perhaps let's see if I can get that to [Music] work lovely and I'm thinking here I might do a bigger window so let's try a bigger window on this side same method again with the quarter walls one on there one on [Music] there and then again on this side so delete that delete that quarter wool quarter wo and [Music] railings and the same at the [Music] back [Music] lovely and from that we've got this lovely little Hut now I actually prefer these windows to the windows I did at the front here so actually let me delete this and put in a quarter wool right up here at with the railing yeah that's going to be a bit nicer isn't it so let's do that on this side there we go and there we have it there's our first little Hut I love that actually so now guys what I need you to do is do the same heart on this platform this platform this platform and this platform so exactly the same again go for the middle so 1 2 3 so it would be this one on here so you'd go out here you'd go out one two three on here you'd go out three on here and lastly on here that isn't the right one okay not this one we're going to leave that one this one has six tiles in Total 1 2 3 4 5 6 yeah we'll leave that one we'll just do 1 2 3 4 that'll be plenty so yeah follow what you did here and do it here and I'll see you once I've done m just like that they're all in look at that looking fabulous and to be honest guys this design is turning out pretty modules meaning that you could literally take out any part of this design you don't like to save on resources if you don't have enough so maybe you just want to build this section or you want to do that building or you just don't include the huts and or the semicircle it's really up to you what you include or what you don't this is really going to just give you some good ideas if anything or you just follow along with me so now that those hearts are in let's turn our attention back to this roof and I do apologize that I'm changing my mind on this I know sometimes it's very frustrating when someone changes their mind in the middle of a tutorial but I don't have a lot planned today um so I'm just going to delete this top section and start this [Music] again so what I'm thinking is we're going to go up by one with the [Music] roof okay so the door's here so I'm going to go around to the side and I'm going to use the triangle roof but the reverse side and we're going to go bop bop bop maybe Bop again and then one out pop again one out do that on the opposite side who knows if this is going to look nice only one way to tell okay so those are in now I wonder if I use the ramp here to go across now do I want to use this side of the ramp or do I want to use the other side of the ramp I think I want to use the normal side of the ramp and this side what does this look like let's [Music] see uh okay I think that definitely feels like it's part of the same sort of design now as these I would say that is a winner I think that looks pretty good actually so yeah let's keep it like that okay so the build should look something like like this right now now I think it's a good time to go and get the main part of the water pen in and oh my God look at the amount of pillars under here it is quite pillar intensive in the Deep section of the water and you guys might want to use Stone pillars rather than wood pillars in this section just to make sure that you know any sharks that come up and try and bite it it lasts a bit longer I'm going to use wood though so now I'm going to add in a underwater Stone wool so I think the way I'm going to add this in is by let's see here we're just going to add it around the whole semicircle here now rather than starting at the top here sort of here I don't want to see that wall so I'm going to go with a quarter wall and I'm going to start it here if I start it here it's just below the water level and then dinosaurs won't be able to get in and out of there plus it will look more aesthetically pleasing this way so let's do quarter walls all the way across now when I get to this pillar here I can't place it on the pillar because the pillar is at a weird angle but what I think I can do if I'm not mistaken is place it up here first place one underneath that delete this one and hopefully because the pillar's there this wall stays in place and it has look at that it stayed in place so then we're able to go across to the next pillar and rinse and repeat all the way [Music] around [Music] so now you can see the perimeter of the enclosure this is going to be the entire enclosure and then it's going to be blocked off here by giant wo and Behemoth gate so that's my plan I've never made a water pen before and I hope I'm doing a good job I'm sure that I've seen most people do water pens uh as just Behemoth Gates everywhere just Behemoth gates in the water which you could do you've got enough room in this area here to just put Behemoth gates from side to side if you wanted that is the alternative if you want something a bit easier but I want to try and create my own design so this is what I'm going with so next I just need to fill in the walls here and I'm thinking in some places I'll probably try and add some dinosaur Gates but before I do that let's just get all that semicircle area covered in walls and to be a little bit quicker you can find in the crafting options a four high wool that you can craft and place it will be a lot faster and easier that way here it is Stone large wool that is what I want it will make this go a little bit faster for [Music] me [Music] okay the giant monstrosity of a wall is in God I mean it's not it's not the prettiest thing I've ever built but it's f functional and that's what matters so I'm thinking I'm going to put in some dinosaur Gates around somewhere so to get a dinosaur gate in the first thing that we're going to need to do is place down some side pillars like so we're going to delete a section of wool above that and then we can place in a gate it doesn't snap so you'll have to just guess and get it right so I'm thinking around here perfect and then we add a door in lovely and then we just fill in the Gap [Music] again lovely and then we've got a gate so that we can go in and out with ease let's see if it opens it does and we can get out look at that just with the smaller animals a Megalodon doesn't fit out of small Gates unfortunately so that's why we're going to need to put in a behemoth gate in a second let me close that door so with the gates it's really about putting them where you think it's going to be most convenient for you for me I think I'm going to put them out evenly across the wall so maybe one here where I put one maybe another one here possibly one over here I don't know if there's what's over here yeah probably one there as well so yeah we'll go across doing that and then some down at the bottom as well so once I've done that I'll come back to you okay so the dinosaur gates are in it kind of looks like Windows on a castle honestly so I kind of like that I think that works quite well and makes it look a little less ugly so now we need to completely close this off so obviously with the Behemoth gate I'm going to need to put it on some sort of pillar so we're going to have to bring a pillar going all the way across to this pillar here so I'm thinking the Behemoth gate goes around here somewhere where there's a lot of room rather than over here so it crashes into this that doesn't make sense so we'll put it here so I'm going to need to put a pillar in here going across like [Music] so [Music] perfect so we've got our pillars in honestly the Behemoth gate could have been a bit higher than I'm putting it I'm kind of putting it on the ground I don't know if that's such a good idea but hey we've started now let's see what it looks like I can always move it uh let's place it in what it fit you have to get it on top of the pillar there we go so need to go top of the pillar I can't really see what I'm doing I get it there ooh little Gap start again try again see I could have done it a little bit higher but in all honesty Let's test this out on the Megalodon let's see and let me get rid of that death message let me see how this is going to work let me out lovely swim on out very easy and then i' come in to the base and swim up like so hello everyone and I'd swim back down can I swim back down am I stuck I'm fine swim back down to the gate it would help if the gate was a bit higher up if I'm honest if I'm being honest with myself the gate being higher up would [Music] help so let's make it higher up why would we why would we settle for for anything less let's pick that up and get rid of [Music] that okay so that's what 1 2 3 four pillars higher than we had it is this this going to be too high now probably is if I'm honest let's just place it anywhere just to see uh is that no that's actually kind of perfect is that perfect is this perfect Mr Megalodon take me through the dinosaur gate that's actually a really nice yeah that's perfect yeah okay we'll see with that I'm going to go get that perfect now and then we'll fill in the rest of the wall [Music] here [Music] [Music] okay I finished the w with the gateways in here with the Behemoth gate as well and you would have just seen me do the most pointless thing in the world I added stairs underwater um why I don't have an explanation why it just happened and we're keeping it that's all I [Music] know [Music] I don't know if that makes it look any better so honestly I'm trying my best to make it look somewhat aesthetically pleasing and you know what it's it's good enough it is good enough let me get these pillars going down these are literally just extras uh that aren't needed these are just for looks um and a lot of people won't be able to see this because a lot of people won't have their folk turned off like I do right now so yeah completely up to you how many decorations you add to the underwater section no one's going to be able to see it other than you on your way in and out and especially if you've got your fog turned off so [Music] yeah I really don't like how the Behemoth gate only has a pillar this side a pillar big pillar that side but doesn't have a big pillar going across so I'm think thinking if we bring out a pillar a stone pillar coming out this way and go all the way across like this this is a bit extra right now I'm going a bit I'm losing the plot I'm losing the plot right now and then we add in some walls here like that it kind of lines it a little bit better I much prefer this actually then we'll just get some ceilings across the top yeah look at that it's so much better already and if we get the stone pillars going across here as well I think it will look even better Perfection add one there whoops that's outside of the water yeah look at that okay I like that now the big question is is how does it look like for people who have their fog turned on let's go ahead and turn on the fog and wow look at that can't see a thing so if we go up to oh my God how do people there's no way the devs think that this is playable underwater like how do you I don't even know where I am right now oh my goodness me is there something that gets rid of the fog in game like is there a dinosaur that can see better I can't see anything then you turn fog off bam and suddenly you can see everything yeah the devs need to change that definitely that like it is horrible underwater I don't mind it a little bit foggy but that is just insane and you can't even see all the work they put into like the coral reefs and stuff under here so what is the point of having all of this foliage Etc if you can't even see it at all yeah not a fan of that but anyway that's enough of me ranting so we also need a way to get out of the water when we obviously bring the dinos up say we have a dolphin we've got a load of resources we need to come up and we need to swim out there's no way oh I just fell I fell so hard wow there's no way for us to actually get out so we need to put some ramps [Music] in [Music] over here first I'm thinking in line with what we've done over there we put another little bit coming out here that's going to be for boats so I don't know how far it's going to let me go out probably about that far we'll be absolutely fine and then if I get rid of the railings we can have this area for boat docking if I put a little ramp in as well will it let me put the ramp in it will oh it won't oh no there we go we got our ramps in so we got a little boat dock here which is quite sweet and I might put in some pillars here as well why not and I'll do the same on the other side so it's symmetrical so over here all I think we need to do now is add in a few railings for details now for the details I'm thinking of just doing the under part of the roof here okay all of the houses now have that same roofing design so we're going to do very similar to over [Music] here okay this roof is looking a lot nicer now the only additional thing I've done up here is add some pillars going around the rim as you can see there that is all so let's do the same to this build here just doing the downward railings across the entire build perfect and while we're here we better as well add some railings to this little walkway while we're here amazing so this has really come together now I'm just thinking of additional things I can do to the exterior before I move on to the interior which I'll do most of the Interior off camera guys just to save a bit of time as I'm running a bit out of time at the moment think about this I'm thinking the platform could be a bit bigger on the outside so we could make this at least one more wide going [Music] out [Music] okay so that dock is in as well of course you can add docks wherever you want on this build it really up to you so I think that's it you know what would be really crazy now this is really crazy should I do this I could try and add a swimming pool in over here is that crazy should I do that I could add a swimming pool in never even done a swimming pool how would you do that I guess you kind of like lower the walls down all right let's give it a go I mean if it looks bad I can just remove it right there's no harm in [Music] trying [Music] h [Music] what well I think we successfully made a swimming pool whether or not it goes with the entire build or not I'm not 100% like sold on it just because everything else is in round like round circles and I've done this as a square which kind of makes it look out of place I wonder if I can better integrate [Music] this I mean it's something we're still cooking we're we're still cooking right now I'm thinking I want to make the pool bigger I think I can make this a bit bigger to make it a bit better we'll go out by one on each side maybe okay so I've just got rid of the quter walls down the side here and here and so obviously I had before I had the wood quarter W and then the stone quarter W but now I'm just going to have a stone quable rather than a wood to extend it by just a block so if I now add in the stone I keep calling them quarter walls I mean quarter ceilings I'm such an idiot I saw the uh video that I posted recently I get them calling the ceilings walls I I don't know what's wrong with me why do I call them WS they're obviously not WS they are [Music] ceilings [Music] look at that okay that is a oh my God so loud do you mind Mr bird for your crimes against my video you should die and that's what happens you know what guys I'll keep the pool I I don't even care I'm keeping the pool it's a great feature look at this you can get in you can have a little swim you can't get out for your life though you die in here you die in this pool if you're in this pool you die unless can I get out this way no we definitely need a ladder in here which I'll put back in now let's see will it let me and can I climb it I can't even climb it can I put it in here can I climb this no yeah if you come in this pool you die this is death or stairs even oh look maybe the I'm a genius I'm a genius why don't I think of that you can have stairs oh let's do it on this side as well yes yes yes yes yes yes oh yeah oh now look at it it's a bougie pool what a bougie pool this is oh oh yeah paddle all day in there I love that I love that there's a pool there that so cool I don't love this corner and I know I could have actually done a really good job of this all I needed to do is do everything in triangles here and it would have been fine um so if you're doing this and you want it a bit more rounder just do the whole thing in triangles so this would all be triangles on this side as well where the squares are um and you'd still be able to fit a square pool in but for me I am going to use clipping methods now to clip my way into this and try and make this all a bit [Music] prettier okay well there we go that's kind of the whole of the exterior done obviously I can add some Decor later um I will do a little bit of the inside for you now and then I'll go away and finish it all up off screen and we'll go through it all together at the end so you won't miss anything do not worry you just won't see me do everything and it will just be like little things like decco bedrooms Etc so right we've got this walkway coming down from this building up here so let's remove the wall and we need a way to get up to here so I'm thinking we'll have a little walkway here if I get a stair if I get a triangle here [Music] some stairs coming down would that [Music] work I mean that's one way to do it and then have some pillar support to make it look a bit more realistic there and there so up the stairs let's put some railings let's make sure health and safety standards are up toart in this [Music] Resort so I'm going to put the refining Forge down here and this room is literally going to be the main Hub so we're going to have everything you could possibly need in this room the fabricator vaults Etc so let's go into super fast build mode and do that [Music] now [Music] right that's all done if we go up to the next build so probably going to make a bar and restaurant in here you know I love to do it in every single build I've ever done on my channel I'm pretty sure there's like a restaurant or bar in every single one of them almost especially in the big ones maybe the smaller ones but let's put in some sort of bar and some seating for some food would be nice so yeah let's do that up [Music] here [Music] [Music] I think that's quite all right so yeah so everything else now I think I'm going to do off camera I'm going to put some bedrooms in the hearts uh I'll probably just do some exterior details in places maybe some plants Etc so I'm going to go away and do all of that now do not worry though cuz I will take you through every single thing that I do at the end I always do a nice big walk through at the end so do wait around for that so until then enjoy the Cinematic [Music] shots [Music] [Music] [Music] hello fellow survivors and welcome back to the resort which is basically what this has turned out to become I've made a resort unintentionally I didn't mean it's become a resort but now it's a resort so there you go so I'm going to now give you the grand tour I'll show you the little details that I've added in in places and yeah let's just have a good time so coming in from the port if we go to our right we probably have what ended up being the best part about the entire base which is the swimming pool the swimming pool which was just a last minute decision as you saw oh my God the birds are ping in the pool no ping in the pool allowed let me pick that up you can lay eggs in the pool that is absolutely fine as you can see we got our lovely swimming pool here it's a shame the water is not a bit higher that could have been fixed by me just lowering the whole entire build by a little bit but you know I there's a lot of work we got our lifeguard Steve here doing his job taking care care of the Doos at the resorts over here I just made some Umbrellas by putting a pillar down some triangle ceiling Towes going all the way around to make a little hexagon and then the triangle roof it's very simple that's how I made that and then we've got these Sun loues that I designed so with these Sun lounges I made them by just putting two benches together one two benches in there on free placing mode and I just put some Canvas even side and on the back very easy and simple to do as well I think they actually turned out pretty good these lounges and you can sit on them watch this let me just I'm sitting on the lounger look at that so I can sit down enjoy The View with my dodo companions what a lovely lovely Resort this has turned out to be over here we have one of the staff cooking for our guests there are no guests here at the moment but you're hard at work and I appreciate it Mr Penguin so along the decking here we've just got some savu and citronel plants along with a species X plant is it species X or species Z I can never remember the difference but this is easily the prettiest plant in Ark along with these two so that's why I use them so much in my builds over here we just got a little storage Zone that I've made with some pillars and some ceiling Towes coming out very simple and just put some boxes underneath just for Aesthetics probably wouldn't use that we got our professional drummer here doing a fantastic job keeping our guests entertained at the pool live music is very important of course in any Resort coming around to the main base so I did end up piting a dinosaur gate in as you know I think that does look a lot better with this in and inside here we've got something very familiar as it's just a main Hub area that I've done this design quite a few times now I think in my builds because it's so functional it's honestly the most functional thing you've got everything you need all the way around including industrial Forge here we've even got a chimney so that the smoke from the industrial Forge filters out of this build very practical so if we come on up these stairs here we end up coming to the ramp that leads us to the main Resort Restaurant now this restaurant oh I love this restaurant look at this we got little boobs along the side for people to come and eat their grub at their table we've also got some decco by adding some boss mounts to the mounts up there these are just the trophies that you get for killing the bosses of course they're quite hard to obtain so you can always put a alpha T-Rex head in these as a trophy as well and we've got our chefs and white staff behind the bar there cooking and feeding our guests obviously I made this room into a restaurant but there's so much opportunity in this room you can turn it into anything you want it's big enough and it's high enough you could have multiple stories as you can see we've got windows up there it's kind of begging for me to make a second story in here but I didn't coming on out of the main Hub we can go over to this little bridge over here that takes us to the main prominade I don't know actually know what this is would be called I think a prominade is a walkway by the ocean but uh walkway on the ocean I don't know what this would be called you guys let me know in the comments below what this would be called so we go along our walkway here and we come to our lovely Holiday Homes here each for a guest or tribe member with their own bed and living quarters looking fabulous I'll go inside them in a second let me just take you around to the main Pier here at the end of the prominade walkway decking thing I don't know what to call it the cresant moon okay we're going to call it the cresant moon walkway this is the cresant moon walkway so coming off the cresant moon walkway we get to the pier which is where you can get on your raft and go on your Merry Adventures and very easy to get back from your raft onto the ramp very simple design you know what it could do with some storage boxes or something here and some barrels perhaps that could work quite nicely to make it look like you're like stocking up on you know supplies on your little runs oh no oh do you know how long it took me to move all these Dam dinos into positions to make it look nice oh no oh well give me a second oh where oh what are they doing look oh no please why I've got to I've got to sort this out great oh there we go that was so painful I can't believe I did that right now I can see what I'm doing let's quickly just add some storage here make it look like we're offloading and unloading from the dock onto the raft Etc I think that's pretty cool so now if we come on round to my nicely organized Dino pen look at them all swimming around in their pen having a good time I will show you that in a second we go into our bedrooms now to be honest I didn't do a lot to these bedrooms I literally just put in the beds a little bench some bedside units in this one it's got a smithing table and some beer barrels uh so one thing I completely forgot about with the cry pods you can put them in these display cases and they're almost like little taxidermies you it shows the animal and you can pet them look at that cute oh who's a good stag you're a good stag pet oh yeah yeah you can pet them so it's kind of it's kind of fun so coming on out I'll show you a couple more but they're all very similar as you're about to see so this one I believe has yeah this one has a plant in it I put some canvases down as mats which works quite well you can place them on the floor we've got a little bookshelf a little cooking part again I used some display cases with the cryopods in it so we can see our dinosaurs and give them a little pet pet o good little dinosaur cute bit weird but that's Arc so if I come on out I'll show you one more of these houses let's go into this one now so in this one I believe I did very similar to the last one but I included a little ramp up to your bedded area and I've got these under bed storage so all I did here was put a ceiling up from the ground put in some triangle ceilings as well either side so it's flushed to the wall and then underneath put storage box under this side and that side and some railings and that made this cute little under bed storage area that you can access and get into very easily I quite like that I think that's that's cool to show you this next part I've had to get changed into my scuba gear because we're going underwat as I'm about to show you the water pen let's go so under here we have all of our water tames in their enclosure as you can see it is quite a big area you can fit quite a lot of water tames down here we got our megalodons how many I've got one two I think I've got three I don't know where the third one is look at that so big I don't even know where he is there he is all the way down here it's taller than it is wide and you know I think this is kind of the perfect water tame pen for like a mid tier base which is basically what we've made um we've got our manta rays and our Dolphins I've forgotten the name of these guys but these guys can go in and out of the normal dinosaur gate so that's why we got all of these normal dinosaur Gates going around the base so you can pick and choose where you bring them in and out and with the Megalodons they can only go in and out of the Behemoth Gates if we try to get them out of these there's no way they can't fit they're too big so let's take them out of here and I'll show you what the pen looks like from the outside so this is what the pen looks like from the outside it is a mammoth pen honestly it's very big but when you go inside it actually feels smaller than than it is mainly because of the giant rock in the way here but it you know it's a nice size pen and you can go all the way to the top and we can simply go off onto the ramp look at that so it works really well oh who's oh he's smiling are you okay buddy are you a good boy yeah you are we call this guy Bruce of course he's so happy I can't look at him so happy oh I want to give him a hug go go back underwater buddy let's put you back [Music] in there we go so well that's kind of the base I know it's not a lot it's not the biggest build and but it's a nice build right you got everything you need here you got your main Hub you've got your eating area and you've also got all your sleeping areas down there for each tribe mate so it works out really well and the best part is oh my God I didn't realize you can't run when you're in scuba gear you can't run oh look at that waterfall over there I forgot about that that is a very nice feature to have in the background of this Resort people pay premium for that here the pie to resistance is obviously the swimming pool here we love the swimming pool and the dodos do too look at this oh yes we can just do our little lengths in here occasionally get some exercise in I love this this might be my favorite base I've made so far it's just a lovely place to live I'm going to try and make this in my survival world because I think this is an awesome place to live and maybe I'd make it like a bridge going from here to the beach somehow with other little Huts along the way I'm not sure how I would get over here probably just with a raft what am I saying we got rafts we don't need Bridges we just need rafts and well guys that is the today's build over
