My drivable raft and motorboat building method for ARK Survival Ascended just got better thanks to ‪@intoxicatedmyself‬. In this building tutorial, I'll show you a cheap and simple way of lowering foundations to the lowest snap point on a raft or motorboat, so you can build on it and still drive it without using trapdoors, leaving gaps or missing foundations.

Glad to help! And glad to see the acknowledgement! And I actually didn't notice that the pillar only does that near the shore, so thank you in advance for pointing it out hahaha

It's class you've found it helpful! And yeah, when Xbox came out my original method wasn't working, and they noticed the icon. Crazy attention to detail that! Then they patched it on PC too, so I was so glad they did! Community making good things better!

Dude.. you deserve so many more subs! Love your stuff. and your game footage is absolutely CRISPY.. in the best way. Love your stuff. Ive been using a hatchway but this method looks so much better! Thanks for putting this out there!

@toastbloke 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Appreciate the proper canny message! I'm glad you find this helpful and can make good use of it. Still working on cracking some other raft tricks from the original game, but they building has been well and truly patched!

@OldGamerzNeverDie 9 месяцев назад

@@toastbloke agreed.. I used to be able to build pillars below the boat.. then snap a hatch frame to them, delete the pillars and the hatch frame would just float there like it was connected. Great place to put some turrets :) But alas, now when you delete the pillar, it all goes away... that, and, well.. no hatchframes anymore since its an all in one piece with the door.

@Justin90Sawyer 10 месяцев назад

Have you figured out how to extend foundations beyond the raft like in ASE. Wish they'd bring that back

@toastbloke 10 месяцев назад

I've been trying... but it's not looking possible. Had a few interesting things crop up, but foundations seem set to only place on a platform or ground, not to other structures, even when you think they should!

@joemezeraani 9 месяцев назад

you sir are an absolute legend! came from the last video where they patched it] thank you so much

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

No problem at all. They keep patching all the fun parts of the game, so I keep having to make updates to the same tricks! Not ideal! I’m glad this helped though 🙌🏻

@brotgutra7587 2 месяца назад

DUDE CLUTCH, really goood job! I know this is 7 months old, we delayed playing ASA until bugs were under control. Another thing that I cant figure out is adding doors to my walls when extended 3 ceiling tiles back from rudder foundation row? I can put walls/door frames up but no doors? Any ideas there? Ive tried ASR and placing foundations as far back as possible. Oh and why don't the pitfall traps work on some dinos anymore? Theri, trike etc. Thanks dude, great content.

@toastbloke 2 месяца назад

Cheers! Appreciate it! The new foundations in the game have really limited raft building, so there’s a few problems I’m still looking to solve regarding foundation support. If I ever crack them, I’ll be sure to share! With traps, the dinos have new pathfinding mechanics and ‘AI.’ I’m finding interesting things about how it works all the time, but I’ve got a trap series on my channel where I’ve designed traps that work despite the changes. I’ve got three more ready to drop too, so keep your eyes peeled! 🙌🏻

@rednnnno 10 месяцев назад

The reason they patched it is that prior, if you build on the raft (rather then on structures of the raft), essentially there was no structure checks: as long as your reticle was on the raft rather then a structure (and clipping disabled), the game would allow it. By placing your foundations "under" the raft you'd be able to use this trick... My original boat build was essentially all utility structures clipped into one another surrounded by walls :p

@toastbloke 10 месяцев назад

That makes complete sense! I figured it was getting confused between the two surfaces with the random red-boxing and having to re-render things to put it right, but that explains the clipping. It was almost if things dropped off the side of the raft at points and through the walls. I didn't try on the raft on it's own to realise this! Nice spot!

@jordoncrider3808 8 месяцев назад

Ah, they fixed glitching inside things, but have they fixed the issue where lights/fires don’t turn on?

@toastbloke 8 месяцев назад

Haven't tried in a while, but not last time I checked. You know how it is with WC. Obviously, the most important things to patch are the helpful tricks... not the actual broken things in the game... like cheaters or the lights 🫠

@BoinasHD 10 месяцев назад

enjoying raft stuff, make a video with more raft desins for pvp and if its possible, one to defend from Leedsichthys for who wants put raft in wall border! sorry my english :) PS: normaly u see away more stone rafts, so make builds in stone :)

@toastbloke 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Glad to hear it! I'd love to do some more designs and figure out some more tricks. Just had to catch up with all the patches they've made to the game. And yes, I only ever make stone or metal in PvP, but for examples and PvE builds, it's nice to use different materials sometimes. I'll see what I can do! 🙌

@leongt1954 9 месяцев назад

I did try the old way with a fence foundation and pillar BUT I could only lay doen 4 foundations and couldn't extend the raft anymore

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

You can get a 3x3 the old way, but the placement is a little different. It puts the foundations too high now though to drive the raft through them. That's why I had to come up with this. I'm just glad we can still get the old effect!

@chanceplace6057 9 месяцев назад

Can confrim this is not too precise to be done on controller, I did on on playstation rather easily

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

This is great to hear! 🔥

@wastedwatts 4 месяца назад

Damn, you did it again! How are you adjusting the height of the pillar? OK, I think I got it figured. Before I click to set the pillar, I click once and move the pillar up, or down by moving the mouse forward, or backward. Now that the pillar is figured, I cannot set the foundations as low as you did. The pillar only goes so low and the ceiling part then dictates how low, or high the foundations are placed. I will play with the quarter wall a bit more. Wow, not sure why it worked this time, but it did.

@toastbloke 4 месяца назад

Sorry for the late reply! I've had a mad few days! I'm glad you've got it figured out, but just to clarify, you raise/lower the pillar by looking up and down once you have clicked once to place. With the pillar placement, there are very narrow margins and you need to do it near the shore to get the pillar to drop below the raft, so you can raise the blue rotation icon to the perfect height. Just above the raft! Hope this helps!

@wastedwatts 4 месяца назад

@@toastbloke Nice! I didn't realize being near the shore was important, but I guess I got lucky and was in a good spot.

How do you lower the pillar on Xbox?

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

Once you click fire, which I believe is RT, once, use you right joystick to look up to raise it and down to lower it. Just be careful not to look left or right as it will rotate the pillar.

@PhilipHonor 9 месяцев назад

You click once to lock it in position and then make your character look up and down to adjust the height. Should be the right joystick! Let me know if that helps!

@paulodiaz5774 10 месяцев назад

The only disadvantage I encounter is that you cannot enter the raft from below the water since there're foundations that are blocking the raft from below and you need to put ramps or ladders to climb it, but I find it more realistic.

@toastbloke 10 месяцев назад

I get you completely. It's nice to be able to get out of the water quickly! I always value the added protection of the raft over the underwater access though. In the last game I had a method of getting both benefits, but it doesn't seem possible in this game, which is a shame!

@Drag0zard 9 месяцев назад

You can always pick up the middle foundation and replace it

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

It’s annoying to have to do all the time, but you’re right. 🫡

@leongt1954 9 месяцев назад

So you cannot use the fence foundation with a pillar anymore to sink the floor ?

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

You can use it, but it places the foundations above the raft and stops you from driving it, sadly. That's why I had to come up with another way.

@leongt1954 9 месяцев назад

Pity I normally use a raft to capture large dinos in evolved

@steevo8025 9 месяцев назад

how do you make the pillar drop and rise? its fixed for me on PC

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

Click 'fire' once to lock the position and then look up and down before clicking it again to place. This will only work when free placing the pillar though, so on the ground and platforms, otherwise it will just snap to another structure at a set position. Let me know if that helps!

@DraconisGold 4 месяца назад

This is an excellent video. Thank you! Just a note: when trying to get the height of the pillar correct, it was much easier for me to reduce the sensitivity of my mouse to it's lowest setting. Then I would pull back until the rotation circle snapped below the raft and then very carefully moved my mouse forward, clicking the moment the blue circle snapped above the raft. I had missed the location multiple times while trying to use the keyboard. Just an option. Cheers!

@toastbloke 4 месяца назад

@WilliamsTigner 5 месяцев назад

Still works. Great tip on the arrows being close to boat. I used mouse wheel to move it up and down. If you do not get it low enough it won't be drivable. Pick em up and try again. Its drivable once you get the right height.

@LCInfantry 3 месяца назад

You said the top isn’t protected? Does damaging the invisible sail also still damage the boat?

@toastbloke 3 месяца назад

The sail doesn’t take any damage as far as I’m aware. It’s just a visual if you choose to have it up. The top isn’t protected by the foundations as they sit just below it, but build walls and a roof over them and it’s protected by those structures 😎

@clintongriffith3247 9 месяцев назад

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

It doesn't put you in the centre, it just lines you up with the boat to make things a little easier. You don't even have to do that step thanks to full alignment mode. When you dismount it will put you on the join where the mark you need is to help find it, though. Hope this helps!

Finally gave up in disgust apart from the game crashing every so often I discovered after building my raft when I re-started the game parts of the raft were missing At first I thought it mite be because it was a mod raft so I went back to the original raft but it still kept on happening after that I just uninstalled the game and went back to Evolved instead untill they fix the bugs in Ascended

@toastbloke 9 месяцев назад

The game has a lot of problems that need addressing for sure. With the crashes, do you have DLSS on? Mine crashed all the time until I turned that off and it's worked for others since. With the raft structures, that is just a bug, unfortunately. The game hides them all, but if you mount and then dismount your raft it all comes back. Really strange! Enjoy ASE in the meantime, though. I hope they move quickly on fixing this instead of DLC!
