How to run WATER and IRRIGATION in Ark Survival Ascended 

CORRECTION: For crops you don't even need to set a tap near them they autofill from the intake. I think there was a slight delay in the connection when I was placing them down. But you don't need a tap for crops. The crop plot just needs to be in the range of your intake

I think we found that we didn't need to have the water tap on the crop plots so It might have just taken the UI a sec to update.. great guide though Crabby.. The lads and I were wondering about how to do water away from the water source without pipes..

Ngl I’m gonna miss having all those pipelines and cables going all throughout my base, makes it look cooler to me for some reason, but this is much easier so im not that sad about it. Although I wish there’ll be an option where you can turn needing to build those pipelines and cables

Now THIS is what I mean by straight to the point, helpful AND easily explained. Subscribed 🔥

I'm brand new to this game and have been having trouble finding videos like this one. Thank you. I see tons of Ark videos but all of them assume I've played all 100 previous versions of the game and have basic knowledge. I've been playing for a week and learning as I go. Having a great time with it. But quick, simple videos like this really help. I'll be reviewing your other videos.

thanks this will help a lot. Too bad ark doesn't have instruction tell how to play.

Thanks Crabby! I wondered if you could use mutliple to cover longer distances so thank you for the demonstration!

The greenhouses are looking ugly af. Idk what they were thinking when they made these you can't even use them as windows anymore

LOVE THIS!! I was wondering so much about the pipes that people were mentioning but not clarifying!!😁👍 edit: Does putting the tap on the primitive cookpot actually feed water into it?!

Im so glad they removed those terrible lines of pipes. It was such a pain honestly

Great guide Crabby. Learned a lot! Haven’t had a chance to mess around with water yet.

I do enjoy the quality of life this change has brought. But there was something immersive about having to figure out and plan how you are going to lead pipes back to base. Being forced to do tricks such as building a basement in your house to hide the pipes and electrical wires. Or hide the wires in between wall pieces so they blend in made us get creative in our base designs. It was a limitation that challenged us to design bases that got around it. I do think the game is better off without it though. All those pipes and wires, especially with a large base caused excessive lag. And only needing 2 engrams (the intake and the reservoir) made your crafting menu less cluttered and also allowed you to use those engram points for other things. Same with the changes they made for structures. Instead of needing 4 separate engrams for a wall, window and it's door variants. You only need the wall now and can cycle through them when you go to place it down.

Thanks for this guide! :)

It does not seem to make a lot of sense that the intake pipe has a radius... that absolutely does not matter for the water tank. You were still far away from the limits of the irrigation area when the tank's blue arrow disappeared. That doesn't compute for me. What's the logic in that ?

Thanks a lot for this video. I was wondering how to get water to the base, which is further away from the water. And thanks to you, I do. Thanks

Super simple guide and straightforward. Love it

This doest work for me, im in gen 2 map but when i place the intake in the water there is no blue "area of effect" also i can only place wells directly to irrigation pipes. Please help?!?

what a great guide, Thank you !

damn nice video,i had hard time setting this up because i like living near volcano on island so i had to use few tanks but thanks :D

So if I have a water tank and a crop plot within the range of the tank I don't need a tap OR an intake pipe. Although an intake will fill the tank up quicker I guess

I guess my game is bugged. I've never had a problem doing this before even on ASA but now my tanks won't irrigate even 5 ft. From a blue water Intake pipe of the same material. Idk

THANK YOU I have been losing my shit trying to figure out how to transport water to my base

Ah that's useful though I will miss the pipe system, I'm gonna need some water tanks then, does it matter what kind?

It's almost like I played the beta for Ark 2.. It was called Ark Survival Evolved.

So now my question is, why are there so many pipes if you don't even need/use them? What are they for?

For some reason my industrial cooker is powered and irrigated but it says 0/10000 🥲 any idea why ?

Thank you sm, i was so used to the old way. much appreciated

what will we do on the scorched lands, everyone will be a village next to the oases because the water supply will no longer last.

I am playing on the Island and can't see any stone irrigation pipes or any irrigation pipes at all.

Can't say I like this new system it's going to make it harder to find the break when someone messes with your water system

Very helpful! I'm glad they simplified the water mechanics. Can you use water wells in The Island? Or only Scorched Earth?

Oh good I was hoping you could still build away from water. I was getting very concerned for when Scorched Earth came out if we'd all be forced to live around the oases.

Ummm what? There are no stone irrigation pipes in asa?

hey what about beer barrels in a raft i cant make the thing work help

not a fan of this rework tbh, pipes are easier to hide than these big water tanks

i cant find the irrigation pipe even when searched for

I was so confused when I couldn't find connecting pipes

New to game but seems the remooved things that made since

Does this also transfer water to beer barrels?

Is there any way I can irrigate my crops on a raft?

Water in evolved is way better, just stick a vertical intake pipe into the ground anywhere and you'll have a supply, no need for long pipework these days or well/tanks everywhere

Thank you! Straight to the point, explained well! Appreciated! Subbed!

Thank you much. Been trying to figure out the new way to run water, since they removed pipes. The other couple of videos I found on the subject didn’t mention the arrow on the water tanks. I thought it was just the direction of the intake. Much obliged.

THANK YOU for the good and easy to follow guide, I’m new to ark and don’t have a lot of knowledge. Keep up the great work 🔥😁

I really dislike this change 😂 Thanks for the guide, working on it right now.. gotta get some cementing paste now

Thanks for the help Crabby ''Wolfang Tribe of Ravensclaw''

This vid helped me out so unbelievably much lol. Took me forever to get the materials (cementing paste) for the tanks though :(

I was wondering about this! Pipeless water and wireless electricity. Now I can build without making 100 pipes to get to my remote home.

And i was wondering what these blue arrows on the tank were for. Thank's, that was really helpful. :D

Great “how to”. Thanks!!

4 days... 4 FREAKING DAYS!!!!!! and you got my farm up and running in 4 min. Sub earned!

New player here. I love dinosaurs and just seeing a game like this really made me intrigued by it. I also appreciate how you got straight to the point on how this can be done so thank you

Very helpful thank you! I was like how can I move all the water with no pipes!

As a PVP player that is the base builder. This is a godsend. And ty for the easy vid.

How do I get water to a tree platform?

THANK YOU!!!

This was amazing! Thank you for getting straight to the point! New subscriber right here

Incredibly helpful! And thank you for being succinct!

Earned a sub thanks for the straight to the point! Good vid.

Thank you sooooo much for this! Quick and straight to the point. Subbed! :D

very interesting how they changed the way you irrigate, great guide though really helpful

holy this saved me from a brain aneurysm thank you so much lol

You made my grind so much easier! No more running away from raptors just to get by the river

Excellent concise and quick. Love this type video!!!

Thank you very much

Yay! No more crazy pipes running for a mile!

Is there a way to get water without having an intake pipe? Like with rain and water containers? Do the different water container tiers have different radii?

Thank u soooooo much 😊😊😊

Thanks for sharing !

What about a water well

Am i reading this right? 71K likes? Y'all better subscribe!!! Thanks for this Crabby, not me struggling not wanting to build right next to a river 😌

Thank you so much !

That’s awesome!

This new stuff just seems lazy and crappy it’s not a quality of life upgrade the pipes where a real aspect of the game now wtf do we have 😢

Thx crabby🤘

I can't find the stone irrigation pipe anywhere. Looked trough engrams. It's not there.

why did they get rid of pipes??
