ARK: Survival Ascended | Warship Boat Base | Build Tutorial 

Dude, hell yeah this is dope, I'm so stoked to keep seeing what build you come out with, loving this series, please don't stop these, also maybe small rathole or cave build ideas!!!?

Built one for myself and the whole tribe wanted one each. They will be used and cherished well. Thanks for this

As a rafter in ASA Loving this take on its utilization. Beautiful!

This is awesome! One potential improvement: I think you can "hold Q" to stop the turrets from snapping to the middle of the foundations, which will allow you to put the minigun and the auto turrets in a better-centered location (especially the one on the back, you can place it near that gap to close it off). It's unfortunate about the z-fighting in a few areas, but I don't think that can be avoided.

Just built this today, the tutorial was perfect! Thanks for such a cool little simple design!

Hey not bad for an official settings warboat! It's always good to see another shipwright in Ark! Looking forward to seeing the big ship you're working on! Subbed!

Love this build!!! Cant lie tho when you placed the big turret it made my OCD go haywire!! Great video!!!

Very cool! Thanks for showing us this!

That is an awesome build dude.

Awesome video, love the design. The way you just ploppeded down that mounted minigun all unaligned AND DIDNT BOTHER TO CORRECT IT was real hard to watch mate. You even did a slowmo-closeup shots of it glitching through the railing, this is 100% deliberate.

I subbed for the warship teaser, I've never played ark but those boats look sick.

Looks awesome definitely will be using this when I get asa,I took love building ships in ark and asa offers way more abilities

This is really cool. I think I'll copy it. But at the back instead of having it pointed, I'll have it sloped out but flat. That'll save about 8 pieces and keep the back a bit more different to the front.

It looks like really good i play Warship and WOT too..and Ark naturally....nice Job;) thx for Video👋💯😄

Reminds me of my old boat the HMS Dragonslayer. It was an enclosed metal warship i built on Ragnarok to sail into the wyvern cave. With 4 auto turrets on top and a keypad inside to turn them on and off. I would then cryopod my own wyvern in there and go egg hunting and pull any wyverns that chased me back to my boats guns

hehe that looks amazing!

Nice video and boats dude! Can you say something about your experienceses about the Leedsichthys? Can those things deal damage on a motor boat?

This is sick. Loving these videos man, proper Arkitecht

Bro this is awesome you are a mad genius thank you droped you a sub and like keep the vids comming 100

I want this... No... I NEED this! 😍

I love it!

Its works perfectly im subscribe

So awesome

i just built this and its so wicked

I'd love to see an early game stone/wood raft build. I tried this with stone on our server and ran out of structures at the back of the railings...

Sent this to my boyfriend he wanted to build a metal ship and this looked so cool!

Looks good ive just built this is metal and another in wood

It looks good, but with the sides of the motor boat exposed this can be destroyed easily while bypassing all the armoring of the metal foundations by just aiming shots at the waterline or attacking from below. You would want to make the base three foundations across to completely enclose the boat as well as lower the foundations deep enough to clip through the bottom of the hull so the foundations take the damage rather than the boat. Lowering the foundations that far would also allow you to access the boat to drive it from inside the enclosed cabin, although this will also mean you'll need to add a ramp on your door as you can't access the boat from the outside to get yourself out of the water. To get the best coverage for a three-wide foundation platform, you'll want to be driving the boat and place a pillar down as far forward as you can in that box in the center of the bow (where the sail would be on a raft) then place a foundation snapped to that pillar as low as you can (with the new Ascended mechanics for foundation heights you shouldn't need to use the pillar-foundation-pillar-foundation trick to glitch down the height of the foundations to where you want anymore) a 3x3 grid should cover the entire boat and you can build up from there. And another thing, those ends of yours are definitely going for form over function, I was shuddering thinking of how many building pieces you were wasting with all those triangle ceilings. I'd also have centered the minigun turret, but that's just my sense of aesthetics rather than practicality on that score. So yeah, looks pretty but all it would take is a couple lucky rocket strikes or a couple c4s planted on the underside to blow this thing right out from under you. Should do fine for PvE, but PvP not so much.

Great pve base for water taming

Reminds me of those boats in avatar 2!! 😮

Nice..new sub bro

I have a raft design that is great for resource gathering and pvp or defense. Is a 3x7 layout. Using hatch frames on the roof to attach auto turrets to so that cover all blind spots well. I've used my design to take down the typical shadowmamain raiders. With effective results. If you glitch build foundations into the raft C4 can not be attached directly to the raft.

I did this on a raft with wood and it came out perfect for a fishing base lol that and everyone wants one now lol

class

it is great

Its always so fun to see the pve players bring their builds to pvp thinking its actually a viable build xD I do really love the build tho its super creative!

Very cool. I would be intrested in this ini file you spoke of. I had a much bigger raft on ASE and I do want that back :D

On PC, how do you raise and lower the height of the pillar on the initial placement? Awesome build!

It looks so good! Can you do a resource gathering one that looks good ?

Thank you for posting this video 🎥🍿🥤. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 🎉 work. I play this on my tablet 📟🕹️. In my game I don’t have any triangles ceiling. But when I get an Xbox version. I’m sure I will have a better version 😃🤣😂🥲🙃🍕🍺..

Nice use of the new beams in ASA.. But he’s a PVE player for sure.. If you’re allowed to even add turrets on official, I would extend the beams at the bottom and place the turrets there. And instead of the mini gun add the rocket turret.

Sunk foundations with this idea would be good for PvP but look kool for pve for sure

Can we see the giant air craft carrier at 1:26 but a tutorial, keep up the amazing content

If you actually want to raid with it you have to change that minigun turret for a (or a bunch of) rocket turret, and protect the sides.

NICE BUILD but ez to blast as the autos are very los from under i would recommend the sticking to the sides

In ark ase i built war boats that stretched to the sky ceiling with a huge swarm of megs all following some tame on it keeping it nice and safe

My tribe and I use a central boat with everything equipped and two other square boats to defend the left and right.

Trap door on back bottom so you can get in and out threw the bottom as well

On the big ship you teased? What settings did you change to make it so large? Mine says that it's too far away from the platform.

I was kinda hoping to see it in action.

I had a cool idea while watching this. What if you added a tek force field in an unused spot on the ship? Think about it 🤯

"Lovely Jubbly" haha

Very nice. I'm still on ASE on a private server so I can't do all of that but I'll def try it. Thanks!

This is fkn cool I’m gonna make this and put a cannon on it and name it Yamato 👍 😂

could you make a tutorial for how to change the server settings to allow the massive raft builds?

Hii Can you say me how did you do the smooth camera mod ? :) Nice boat !!

I didn't even know this was possible in ARK

Catch me live on Twitch - www.twitch.tv/curtisbuilds

Looks good but I would want 12 turrets minium and underwear ones

you can place a giant hatch frame and/or as roof , you will save 2 structures

Nice build. If you used a hatch frame under the mini gun couldn't you access it from inside the boat?

The build limit on motorboats in ASE is 135 pieces without modification. Is the build limit in ASA the same as it was in ASE or has it been improved?

I’m going to take this through the swamp and turn on Sympathy for the Devil or Fortunate Son. Huge BO1 vibes.

Leedsichthys likes that...

Great build and great walkthrough video! :D I assume the limitation on how much you can build on top of the base raft is to avoid lag on larger servers? Or other performance related issues? If I am only playing with around 4-5ish friends on a server, would it likely be safe to disable that limit?

imagine having one for every tribe member. A Grand fleet

Do more raft builds

In Evolved I built a gunboat and we hunted Leeds with it and even took out an Alpha Leeds

"lovely" When it drops for console im going to rival your noob looking boat

Replace every bit of railing for more autos

Personally I wouldve left the front open with the railings. Because on my actual boat, that gap is where my anchor sits.

I was always disappointed with the lack of upsidedown triangle walls in ASE. I think the only thing that gets me is my ocd wouldn't allow me to have turrets off centre. Other than that I love the design. Small, compact and functional. One question though. How does it cope with that blasted raft killer?

love it wanna try build my own version aswell. how hrs of solo farming for mats for do you redkin?^ New Following from me

What PC setup are you running? CPU and GPU?

Hiii!! I loved this design so I'm trying to build it, but is it modded or something? I play official, and can't find the way to snap overlapping the triangle roofs like you did on 4:08 :(

What settings do I need to change on the .ini to get a bigger build? I can’t figure it out. pc steam

should put a hatch on the roof 😊

Does th ini files thing only work for single player as i play a unofficial server and wouldn't mind trying this

If I don't wanna use ceilings, can foundations still be used?

Could you completely dome off the whole thing and put cameras on the outside?

lol you even got a neighbour there beside you?

I wish you could put air locks on the mosasaur platform...

Can you build this on console official? Or u need to activate overlapping

You have not been on many boats? the gap in the front deck railing is realistic.

Ah this guy is a fan of Jeremy Clarksons Vietnam boat I see. 😂

All you need to do now is find that Leedsithius… And hunt him down👍

Wait so you don’t want to change the ini for platform build multiplier but you had to change the platform turret restriction to place auto turrets on boats… Also light sources don’t work on moving objects asides personal torches.

Tinkering like this in ASE was what inspired the development of Atlas originally. And until they slowly ruined it, it was a far better game than Ark. Lots of fun. Someday hopefully there will be a successor to the pirate survival concept.

does the leedsychtis fish still destroy motorboats?

Can you still glitch c4 through enemy boat walls?

If i start playign ARK how long would it take me before i can start building these type of ships? before watching this i always thought ARK was some beast taming pvp game. didn't even know u could build in it.

How do you keep it from being destoryed though cant find a mod to not have your boat not be destroyed lol

How do i turn off structure collision, wouldn't let me build it like he did

And has the official snap point number gone down? My build is roughly 116 snap items including 8 auto turrets and two X plants

Put the turrets UNDER the boat. Can u attach them under the boat and can they attack the Leeds?

How can you see a dam thing while sailing

anyone have the raw resource cost for everything including building pieces on the motorboat?

4:13 I can't get the last slope to slot it only gloss red always tried many times, hmm seems I can't overlap any parts a this build

I'm seeing you place the metal pillars sideways and it's just not working for me. Kinda bummed. However it has been a long time since I've played ark so I'm probably forgetting a mechanic to building.

Next a sub :-p
