Like so many other commenters, I salute You tutorials for being on the point and no BS. It seems 99% of ARK RU-vidrs feel the need to make hour long videos to explain something that could be done in 2 minutes. You are the best!

I love your tutorials, very detailed and to the point. You've advanced my Ark lifestyle from a primitive caveman to an advanced architect. Keep making the tuts man, you're the best!

nice one mate very good idea!

THE BEST DESIGN EVER STILL WORKING

This is a lifesaver! I play on a The Center server and one of the islands were completely de-populated. Naturally, me and my buddy set up camp! "Naah, no-one lives there." they said. "That's where all gigas spawn. It's crazy." Making a few of these armored plants in metal will make us very very happy campers. Thanks for the tip!! I think I'm gonna go make one of them now and blow my buddys mind :-)

Thanks for doing the test at the end of the video, it was good to see what are the potential weaknesses of the build!

i have been watching all your building videos and i must say i have over 5000 hours in ark and i can say with certainty you are one of the very best strategic builders i have seen and there is not much i havent seen in ark at this point but you have definitely opened my eyes to some building ideas thanks and good luck with your channel

You're the "evolved" in "ARK: Survival Evolved", seriously. I am so glad I found your channel and subscribed! These tutorials are just epic! Thanks bunches for sharing your knowledge (which already has made me the 'queen of metal' on my server ;)) I will subscribe to your other channel for the sake of support, even if the outback is around 20.000 km away :( , but I do hope your channels will grow much more! You definetely deserve it! Thanks again and keep up these great videos!

This gold information still works! On another note, It was a treat to see "old school" Ark in this vid again.

Your tutorials are spectacular. Very crisp, informative, and professional. Keep up the good work.

another awesome video! I'm a predominantly a raft guy and have incorporated a most of your findings in my builds. the expedition raft is a great tool for collecting pearls on the center map. Set the plant x for all dinos and clear out those pesky piranhas:)

This is a fantastic little trick you've figured out. Well done on adding some new weapons to the Ark arsenal.

You should do a tutorial on how to make that house, it looks awesome. im sure after an hour or so of fucking around i could figure it out, but an updated tutorial might be good, to see if it all still works or not.

Bloody brilliant mate, solved the problem of my gigs munching my species while attacking wild stuff that flies into my base. Works like a treat. Subbed and shared you champion!

I just wanted to tell you that you are an ark God. lol. I just started playing a month ago and your videos helped the learning curve so much. I never comment videos but you deserved the thanks.

Hi OneWing, So, I've made a bunch of these armored plants and did some testing by kicking a tribe member and having them run around them, plus I've just experienced my first base raid and they killed all my dinos. I've discovered some interesting things. First thing, the plants can't see over the railing when they are in an elevated position looking down. I installed them atop a cliff and until I removed the front railing they just couldn't shoot a player down below, but when a Rex came the Rex was tall enough to get shot. Second, putting the wooden ramp for access is a death sentence for the plant. Just as the wild bronto killed the plant during a raid a Rex killed the plant as well, either that or a rocket did, Armour was fully intact plus the Ramp but the plant was dead with fertilizer in the the crop plot.

Yes, it still works with minor changes.Plant X require a large crop plot, so you must step it down 3x instead of 2x to be protected by the hatch. It will still receive water and sun, and will grow. To actually access the plot inventory later you will need to remove a railing and access it from the side or use an auto-fertilizer spreading item. Once grown, you can click on the plant itself to edit targeting/range.

Great video xONEWINGx, I will definitely be incorporating some of these techniques on the outside perimeter of our base. Really great tip and glad to see it prevents Giga attacks well, just tamed a high level Giga ourselves on our server.

Another wonderful guide. The community thanks you.

You dont have to add the thatch ceilings. The hatch frame will snap to the first higher foundation, and the railings will snap to the bottom foundation. I tend to build these in clusters of 4.

Best, most useful ARK video i've seen! Great job!

I use this design, however on PC you cannot access the plot inventory when opening the trapdoor. Sometimes if you angle your view up close on the plant/trapdoor you might get lucky with being able to access the inventory. Testing in single-player mode, flame arrows can take out the plants.

The pillar method still works. xONEWINGx great video! The species X can still be damaged with Ptero's doing barrel roll and if a Rex gets up on top it can also damage it fyi everyone.

Your voice puts me to sleep but you are a genius lol

for the foundation one you can also put ramps on teh bottom maken it a little harder to get to the foundation of it and you can also put a intake at the bottom corner with a tap if its at the beach - along with giant metal hatch frames around it so people cant run up to c4 it just slightly blocks them

pure genius i have watch so many of your vids

Hey FPSOutback love your slowmo rimfire comparisons, I didnt realise you have a gaming channel also

wow man, you have the best tuts

One, Another great video! I've started watching your trapping vids as well.

That is some "D day" looking base defences. Would love to see them in action

Nice work dude, I enjoy your videos. Kudos to you. :-D

This guy in a war wouldn’t fight. That’s for the weaklings. He would roll up in 1 bronto with heavy modifications like this and just shred the base with different building types.

dude love your videos keep up the good work!

LOVE it. Keep them coming!

Very nice video. Being in the desert makes it harder for irrigation. I know I can use water skins but what a hassle. And I can irrigate them but I like to have single ones spread out and that creates alot of annoying piping. Guess I can make a few of these armored ones that could manage 10 or more. And then only have a few stretches of piping

If i place the trap doors i can't access the crop plots

Amazing video and setup, pity i keep fudging it. Got the general gist but trying to do it on uneven terrain is freaking difficult. Base feels pretty secure except I'm not sure my plants always work, dunno if that's cos i've the railings on the wrong snap or something else... Keep these tasty vids coming!

Another nice tutorial thanks man

I love everything you do

i cant start out on any servers right now, because of turkey trials and when i set up something, a super turkey comes.

Thank you for this and all your tutorials! My gameplay has been enhanced by this build. I have an issue concerning the armored crop plot. I am unable to access the plot’s inventory with trapdoor attached, even with door open, I cannot access plot inventory. I have to demolish the trapdoor to gain access. The option to add fertilizer and set plant’s aggression is available, even with trapdoor closed. Is there something I didn’t place quite right? Also, how protected is the plant from flame arrows?

So there is a few problems with this. Early on, yes, armored plant x is a very good idea but def not a mid-late game plan. Maybe maybe a few armored plant x infront of your x plant lines to protect their growth but dont depend on it. Cost per unit makes it far more expensive to make per efficiency. Quetz and argies can easily destroy the plant x inside with little to no problem.

Made these on a ramp and out of stone and it don't work. You have to delete the trapdoor to get in to the plants inventory

You should read bed time stories for one video. Your voice is so soothing and crisp, that it relaxes my insomniatic wife.

the stealing o nly works on small bases with almost non protection, if you got plenty of plant x standing next to each other then you cant steel it without dying.

nice thnk u so much helps a lot on prim plus

Keep doing what your doing

wow, thanks so much, this is awesome.

Excellent trick! I've already started implementing them in my base. I'm just curious how they hold up against quetzal attacks though. I play on a primitive server and right now the bred quetz can't be beat.

your a legend mate

this is *GENIUS*

the hatch and trapdoor dont work any more so i went with giant hatchways

They said I could be anything, so I became a unicorn- giga

Works great thanks, ive built a pilar one, problem is. its impossible to access it without a bird, to feed it fertilizer etc.

great vid thank you

could we get a video on how to secure a base against rocket attacks?

you are awesome dude ! Like and fav

Quick Tip: Stone is shit it only takes one C4 to destroy. What I'd do is make a wood base for C4 and coat it with stone walls for dinos.

awesome thanks man

The giga turned into a unigiga

cool vid seriously I kindly thank Xbox to have the chance to hear you but why don't you by a PC and play with the controller ?

something went wrong on one of mine the 4rth side would not accept the rail but i was able to close the seam by using a second stone foundation snapped to the problem side and sealed the seam with 2 fence foundations, i also have other failed ones that i go ahead and use because finding the access seam is not very easily done, and the planter looks legit so they maybe assume there is no error with it instead of checking for access

dude your the best

Still working? I didn’t this a year or so back and sometimes when it would fully grow it would break upon becoming max size. What did I do wrong

Is it possible that this method isn’t working on the PC? I tried this method with around 30 large crop plots. The stone railings are placed correctly too. Unfortunately, the plant takes direct damage when it gets attacked, even though the trapdoor is closed?! And I have always the same problem: I cannot access the crop plot when a trapdoor is added to the hatchframe. I always have to remove the trapdoor when I want to plant some seeds. It only works trough the hatchframe with no trapdoor on it. Any help is LARGELY appreciated 🙈😊 Awesome video!

Can't place last stone railing, it is obscured, it can be placed only on the hatchframe

on pc it wont let me access the crop plot inventory. the hatch door has the option to open and close but I can't get past that!

hatch frame always breaks when I remove the foundation So I just left one metal foundation still in place holding the hatch frame pointing away from area of attack and works just as well just with lil armor in the back now lol

For the house, I built it, but can not place items on the first level. Thinking about making a tower up in the center with another room.

I managed to damage the foundation crop plot while crouching and hitting with a sword in between the gaps. Did something change, will this still work against dinos? It was made of stone. Love your videos btw.

I wonder... what's the point of reinforcing plant X? if it is just down for a rocket launcher?

why do you want the railings on the ceilings? preferred or necessary? great videos!

Great vid

The lowering of foundations only works for one level (patch 244.7)

please do a tut on the house! that would be sweet

Great ! Ty !

Great vid just one question whats the view range on those plants it seems like they would be blocked. I dont think it was covered in there.

thanks for this vid.

I had issues with the last placement (my tip crouch and try different positions slowly)

hey onewing for the building on an existing base method could you place a pillar on top of the roof then thatch roof on top of that and ceiling to the side and pillar under and do it the 2nd method you showed in this video? that way you dont have a pillar protruding inside of your base?

Can you make a video about the trapper boat?

wouldn't just having more plantx be better than all that time and mat spent on fortifying only a few?

6:09 is cool

did this get changed or something in an update because I tried building this exactly how it says to in the video and it's not working

U should do an update

Good tutorial, but how do you play the game at 20 fps?

Thanks

Does this still work ? I just made one and it was done exactly like the video by the time the plant fully grows the crop plot is accessible without opening hatch frame. When there is no plant you cant access fertilizer . However once plant reaches midling you can access the fertilizer!!!!!!! Help Anyone , or is ark just being finicky ?

is that armored to survive flame arrows???

I raided a guy who has this design on the intro screen I walked right up I ran over and took the fert out and they couldn't even hit me

yeah, there seems to be a glitch where the shields are invisible, hopefully it gets patched...

does this still work ? wasn't working 4 me no nub. at allll

I'm trying to play game of war but the one player keeps kicking my ass!

Please do a video on how to put turrets on a quetzal ? I've seen quetzals with turrets on them, also do you know a weight glitch for quetzals ?

I suddenly realized that for the two such protected plant turrets I made this morning and this evening... the railings are on the metal foundations, instead of the (no-longer-there) thatch ceilings. What's the impact of doing it this way? My hatch frame did not fall apart.

Hey xONEWingx! : ) So I've made quite a few pillar armored x plants. I turned them on to kill a wild Bronto level 44 knocking down all the trees giving my place camouflage. Well..... the wild Bronto took the plants out easily. I only went through a single fertilizer on three plants by the time I took it down, helping manually with my tamed Trike. I'm not sure what has occurred here. The Armor is intact, I have a wooden ramp on one side but the Bronto didn't destroy the ramp so the plant should have been protected. Do you think this might be a "wild vs tamed" attack thing?

Stop making good videos xD I have a billion tabs open now! :) How do you find out about this stuff

all crop plots are now locked by default
