TRAINS Guide for Ark Survival Ascended! HOW TO USE TRAINS and Everything You NEED to KNOW!!! 

Did you really say "you cannot really steer" about driving a train? xD

The short version. He hardly knows what he’s doing here.

Why would they not allow turrets on the train and build a mini base on it.

“When you’re driving the train there are some features to use, you can go forwards and backwards!” Thanks teach! 🤣

hey i found out that you have to treat the rails like ceiling tiles so you have to use a pillar on the 3 rail it helps alot

My whole thing on ark is "industrializing" myself. Im a veteran and tend to play with new players or always end up just trading/being the crafter guy. Time for the return of J.P Morgan. Cause im gonna make the servers im in connected to the power of INDUSTRY

This is great. Who cares what pvp no lifers think.

Im disappointed that so many people are buying this expensive mod. Wildcard selling expansions to an unfinished game is nothing new. All this video did was show that this isn't worth the money.

trains would be a cool concept for mobile survival. I imagine just a bunch of tracks placed down as if abandoned and then tribes living in train cars as they travel around the map, possibly running into other train tribes

Why raiding we have war in the world and other problems so try pve and help much more fun

A new way to grief people 😂

I would love to see the game analytics. I bet you no one is using these. Lol buggy and expensive

The track building is absolutely terrible! Who ever programed it needs sacking!!!

lol train tracks and pillars and cryofridge shacks spam everywhere now 😂 sweet lol.

I recently bought Bob's Tall Tales, my brother and I have been very curious about the train but haven't built any tracks yet due to the massive amount of metal ingots needed to build our tek replicator. I looked up a guide out of curiosity and found this video. Thank you for the guide, it has been immensely helpful!

Finally i can ship from my plantations in ARK 😎😎 cotton trade gonna go wild on officials

Instead of pillars we'll have tracks everywhere

do tracks block spawns on dinos and stop builing for other players

Does not work on The Island Map, I just tried to spawn them in and some floating texts pops up that says its not allowed on that map.

You can place pillars on train cars

15000 health. Bumps into something. Rekt

This is amasing, you can place gerators walls and placable structures on the rail carts, and in a pvp setting it only takes a crossbow and a grapple to completly derail a train and rob people

What is the point of the train? In pillar world its not possible to have a train

You can put turrets on it you just have to build a platform

Has anyone tried adding a water storage on the train?

Going to be a shit show on official servers

Most trash thing to build in ark cant even buils a train track because ground is not flat 💀 build up sure but cant build down at some point idk if its broken or just trash

I'll just wait for the modding community to do a better job of this, A for effort i guess but theres things obv that need tweaking, and wildcards not one for fixing things in a timely manner

My save got corrupted 💀 4 in day corrupted

Do dinos still hunt you on the train? Does the tracks or train make you invisible to them or will dinos still hunt you like if you pass a raptor will it try and chase you? Kinda worried my hard work would be destroyed with all the predators around, but at the same time wondering if you can make a train track going in and out the wyvern egg spot to make a crazy get a way lol

Its probably a good idea to build the track in the air using pillars, that way you can keep it straight.

They could of made run on steam water plus fire with old fashioned water stations and turntables

I’m lost on why they would do this. How does this not go against building guidelines of taking up too much space?

If WildCard thinks I'm going to give them more money they are on something.

I think the materials for the track aren’t to cheap to try to avoid people going mad with it But I doubt many will as taming and boss prepping will be priority. Looks good fun tho

this seems so stupid for game like ark..... at this point imo wildcard not even tryin to stay out of bankrupt. they just going head first

No way in hell after buying every DlC am I spending more money after spending more to this upgrade of the same game.

Cant get the track connectors to work. I'm not too far, or too curved. It just doesnt want to work. It doesn't "just work". It's WC trash.

So I didn't notice that they haven't put any train on ark for PS4 at the moment wondering why😅

All i want to know is do train tracks cause resources to not respawn, and does it block building?

Here's everything you need to know about it. Don't get it. We were supposed to have Ark 2 by now. That wasn't going to work so they made ASA which was going to be free. Wait, that's not going to work. Now it's going to cost money but you get Ark 2 when it comes out. No that's not going to work. It doesn't come with Ark 2 so now the price is actually more money for something that was going to be free to begin with. Ok ready to release ASA. 100% you are going to be able to host your own servers. Well, that's not going to work so no you cannot. Ok, fine we'll allow it after a lot of complaining. Ok so now you want ASA. Go to your favorite server hosting site and get online with your friends. Nope, we can't let them do that. They have to go to just one site. Nobody else has the rights. Ok, fine. I'll go there. I'll just get a 10-slot server. Nope, can't do that. They raised the minimum slot. Ok, but the price is going to be comparable since we've been screwed from the beginning right? Nope, it's going to cost a lot more money than your old hosting site. Ok, well I guess I'm stuck. I'll get this and be good to go. Nope, you can't buy any because they're all bought. The closest server to you is Mars. Would you like to spend way more money on a server not as good as your old server? Fine, I guess I will. Do you want more than 3 FPS? Well yeah, that would be nice. Nope, not gonna happen. Ok, that's the server issue they'll get it figured out. At least the game should be fun. I mean it's just going to a new engine. There shouldn't be many bugs. Oh, you wanted no bugs. Nope, that's not gonna happen. And then what do they do? Offer DLCs for a game with all the issues above before it's even finished. Quit supporting companies like this. Why will they ever stop if people keep handing over their money? An upgrade from UE4 to UE5 has happened on a lot of the games I own. This is the only one that charges for it. It's a train in a dino game. You don't need it. Make them lose money for this crap and maybe next time they won't treat the customer like crap.

I didn't quite understand, what is the train for, to travel around the map?

After unlocking the engrams can this be built on the island?

You didn't even show how to use the connector it was a waste watching your video

These Wild West assets look like bones of another aborted Wildcard game like the pirate-themed ATLAS which were thrown onto Ark SA, because hey, if they're going to go bankrupt anyway, why not?

soo how do you stop it?? like how to stop the train without going into reverse

Roll rat mega ramp ! Let's go... Will Bridges be possible over water?

You should have ended the video smashing one train into another!

Can you use them in other maps once unlocked?

Pointless in any mode when everything is pillered

Ok I tested it. The track seems to have a no-build radius similar to a foundation. Apparently these would be a great way to do "pillar spam". You can use them creatively and offensively in PVP. Pretty neat. More resilient and easier to throw away mats than tames. Cool addition to game. WAY MORE HP THAN A FOUNDATION.

Don't do cheat fly it's unfixable. The train (with upcoming 2 way split) will ALWAYS default to the right track. Stairs and doors are a no go on the platform carts, use awesome elevators for multi floors. If you want junctions? Use a two way split and keep going straight using the right track. Use the left track as your alternative track as you will have to manually switch the tracks. Most of the time you can do what needs to be done in your train base while it's moving. But lag can glitch you off. No placing structures on the train during movement. And there is all the same restrictions as normal platforms but setting don't apply to the train... the Dino platform cart? Allows turrets and overbuilding due to settings. The train doesn't take these setting into account so for now you are forced to build within the restrictions of the train. Unlimited height but not enough structures fore three floors! (Unless you are careful with railings and doors). Avoid being on ground level until you have heavy turrets you can pickup and place since you need to build a base AROUND the train to defend it... no turrets allowed. But I can add windmills? I get I'm in pvp but I play solo lol Edit: the extendable track piece doesn't work at all. You HAVE to build in the air don't even bother looking for flat land. Build ur track as straight as possible you'll be thankful. The train stops after leaving render but continues whaler re entering render. Disconnecting cart 1 while having 5 carts (max) will disconnect all carts leaving you to have to reconnect all 5 bits separately which takes at least 2-3 minutes. Sorry if I missed anything I tried to give all relevant information

I'd love to be in wild cars board meeting. We can either optimize the game and make it playable or add a buggy train that doesn't work very well. Hmmmmm. Train it is. Not to mention any1 remember the buggy from the first ark? Lol

I wish folks understood more content is not greater than better and more efficient content.

This will be way too expensive to build and way too easy to destroy.

Where is the Horn? what a useless train!

Thanks great video, But i have to say thee outfits look horrendous so ill not be wasting money on them. The who train thing seems way to much of a carry on to bother with just hope the maps good otherwise ill be uninstalling the game again :)

I don't really understand the point of making a tutorial video if you don't know what you're talking about? Half the video is you guessing why the tracks are or are not doing what you want

You can put crop plots on a train platform and plant xplant turrets BUT... when the turrets are full grown and you drive away the plants stay suspended in the air and are no longer on the platform. The crop plots stay on the platform but not the plants.

How much does it cost to make tracks?

Watched the animated series and the broodmother fight played out like a teach game too walk through… casually complete it with plot armour and 2000% ascendent amour

How many carts can a train hold?

Hey teach .. do you think the train will work inside vacuum cube? .. my server is building a train on the island and am wondering if a under water track would work and maybe transition from underwater to the island

In the reveal video they showed actual train cars (meaning with walls and such). I had thought that those might be specific engrams, but it seems not. Can you put walls and ceilings on the flatbeds?

I don't see why people are so upset about this, i think it's awesome!

Ridiculous to pay an extra $40 for this when they said initially no one has to pay for new content.

I jusr dont see the point of trains in ark like yeah it looks neat but i can never see myself really using them especially in pvp

If i get this there will only be a single track that goes around the outer side of the maps, i can see these making a mess without admins restricting where they go

Pressing Q when placing or E you can change the snap/angle though can't you?

Only thing you showed is the trains look glitchy and don't work.

For the algorithm!

Everybody talking about Griefin yall toxic asf

Can you attach the rails to another clan? Who are not in alliance. 2 different tribes able to attach to each others rails. Or you think you have to be in an alliance

Pretty pointless

Only 2x ways i can see these trains being viable in pvp..... 1) inside BIG cave bases where the entrance (choke point) is far from the actual base. In this sense the track could slow progress of soakers like stegos while making resource transfer easier. Hell bigger tribes may even decide to build the track to nearby resource points if they dont care about remaining hidden And 2) as a mobile base on scorched earth, move location, pick up tracks, build walls and turrets AROUND the train as a makeshift train shed then pick up base and move again. It has potential,but not for solo players like myself Dx solos will be unable to keep the resources going or even manage the time needed to keep it safe Dx

Can you allow non tribe members to ride the tracks ?

i'm kinda hoping WC develops skins for this for other maps so that it fits in. Maybe a Monorail system for Aberration & Extinction? I don't really see steam locomotives fitting in too well on those maps. it'd still be useful, tho

These trains can be a little mini base.

I started my train near the center on top of one of the cliffs. You can use pillars to keep extending over the cliff to the fround or another cliff. Sand hills aren't so bad if you use pillars.

These trains have absolutely no place being on official servers. Zero

At the moment I have got many problems with mobile bases, I love trains but I do not trust the developer, for now I will not buy the pack 😂😂

Can u no longer place foundation on the sides?

How can I make a turnaround I can't seen to get it to connect back to the other track

love the video.. Any word if there is settting so we can make community use tracks on our server?

Add some in front of ur base with turrets

I can’t even connect the rails haha

How are you going to lay track with killers everywhere

im trying too build with these things but after a bit it keeps saying i have no foundation support. Got rails to work except the connectors they keep despawning every time I try to use them and they make no sense

Can i put turrets on it lol

I can never get the bloody connector to work

Its like the steam punk team who were deving Atlas, were kept on - and inserted this into ark. like. wtf.

No turrets is kind of a bummer cant build structures on them so your just runnin along completely open i can see this working well for an rp server but otherwise its just a waste of time

Only thing i can think of using this for pvp wise, maybe building a track along your base perimeter and building a mobile velo wall

42 ;)

Honestly! I would have preferred the Island map with the ASE bugs removed and an optimization pass over this (although you can't MTX an optimization pass...), or the Centre map instead. That track layering is seriously jank, but I understand the difficulty of letting the player have free reign on placement being the difficult part to integrate. If the tracks were static, a Generalist Houdini artist could have projected curves and built them everywhere and working correctly in a few weeks/couple of months. Here is a question, can you layer a track on foundations? Monorail anyone :p

anybody have a clue why whenever i try to access my engrams my game crashes on playstation. it never did this before scorched earth release

it takes practice. we had this on ase

TrAiNs?! We have finally arrived at the perfect representation of how ARK has never had, and never will posses any form of game design or vision. Its gone from a Jurassic survival game -> a train hobbyist literal sandbox.
