This video will show you 10 Basic Tips & Tricks to help you improve your building in Ark!.

[laggy]

the fact that you have the controls for EVERY system means a lot.

[CiannaDuringer]

Just started playing Ark a week ago and this is SO helpful!!! Thank you for showing playstation controls too - you're the only one who does and it helps so much!

[MsBirdynam]

Yesss, dunno how much trouble I’ve had with lowering and the pillars 😂🙈 Thank you a thousand times for this very helpful video ☺️🌺

[PartialDemon]

5:06 if you use the "K" cam on PC it locks your movement to left, right, forward, backwards and uses the mouse for camera angle and rotation letting you place items squared to the ladder and you can manipulate the camera to make sure the items are perfectly flush with walls.

[FinalTRiumphify]

An addition to tip 8; I open the orbit camera before I get off the ladder. This way items stay aligned as I look around and place them much better.

[dedubsplays...]

This should definitely be series. I'm always more interested in the techniques and principles that I can apply to my own ideas than the builds themselves (although your builds look awesome).

[justinswannie]

When attempting to hide pillars in ceilings, I’ve always found it best to remove the first pillar immediately after snapping the second one, that way you know you snapped it correctly before placing more pillars. Sometimes that second snap point doesn’t register even though you can see it!

[Lotuswalker]

7:40 Why are you asking this question ? Isnt't it super obvious what 101% of the people answer ? Every video of yours is helping so many people to make beautiful and convenient builds. So please continue with this series !! UwU

[Psych_Queen]

I love how straight to the point the tips are!

[armokil]

Even as someone who has been building for a long time these are awesome. I thyought i knew all of the tricks, but you have the whole building thing nailed

[SmoothAlf]

Thx man! Just started playing with some players new to ARK. I want them to have fun playing, but also to play efficiently. This will be great help for them.

[petehale]

Thank you sir. Another great video, but I almost thought I'd clicked on the wrong video when I heard a voice narrating. But it was you after all. 😂

[kurtengel]

Thanks to you I stopped living in a literal box while my dinos live in a walled off clearing

can you also do furnishing and interior design videos? I desperately need this as I've finally finished building your Rex Pen design, but having trouble recreating your furnishings from just a few seconds worth of showcasing

[SypherSam]

You would think most of this would be super obvious but i've had alot of people ask me how to flip structures, cycle snap points, place pillars on corners ect. This video is very helpful for those players, i will definately be recommending this. A nicely done video!

[loveletterhive]

Thank you so much! I was confused about why you were doing the things you were while following a couple of builds. This explained it out and now the steps make more sense. Love your videos and builds!!!

[GreenGrasshoppa]

Thanks for this Aaron! Sharing this to a couple of friends as well.

[hisakotakeshi]

This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. Usually I watch a few videos to get a feel if I like a YouTuber but I love the format of your video. You got a new subscriber

[duskstardragon]

Please do continue. I love your builds and often use them in creating my bases on the Official servers. But knowing these kinds of tips and tricks will help me be more creative with my own designs.

[Cortaxify]

Been playing this game since early access on pc but always nice to pick up some new tricks and tips for building as there always seems to be some new things to learn in various videos like this one. Didn't know about either the fence outside walls nor the double wall so looking forward to use it on future builds.
