Nice, 4:25 is where we built our base. We settled on the plateau above the smaller waterfall overlooking the pond. Gorgeous views, very safe, and smack in the middle of everything. Totally worth making trips out to the space biome for metal.

Started Genesis 2 with a new character. Share your love for waterfalls, but prefer looking at them, so my beginner base was at 41.1 / 62.7. Peaceful spot in a lagoon with some pearls underwater, ducks coming by (for polymer) and right next to one of the deep-see tunnels to grab some quick oil every once in a while.

Went looking for metal from there and built my multi-tiered industrial cliff-base at 35.3 / 75.4. That little ravine is filled with plenty of metal nodes and you can see evil volcano lair entrance towards the east and in the other direction alpha raptors spawn for quick tamed-dino leveling. Also got my 150 r-thyla, r-snow owl and 168 Tek Rex right around the corner towards the west. Lack of water and distance to space are sub-optimal though ;-)

Great video, thx!
18:02 I've built a refining base on that island and it's a great place. Ferox does spawn there as well as desert phoo's

28:33 "diplocaulus messed with me...yea he was a good diplocaulus" xD xD

[Quivirak]

The last one in the north quadrant is where I discovered and set up my base. It's a fantastic spot.

[leewarrenmusic]

You have been SOOOO helpful man. Thanks

[lameware]

Hey yo -- just wanted to say I appreciate your videos. Currently working my way through the arks as well, Solo. I'm binging through your Season 4 as I'm working through on mine as well. I'm currently on Aberration (just got my first rock drake last night) and your stuff has been incredibly helpful! I've never been this far into the game before despite playing since early access. I can't wait to get into the later content.

@Phlinger Phoo if you go to the under water ocean biome there is a under water base with air for breathing and glass windows. It also has two sided pools for tamed water dinos and to use as an entrance and exit.

The first spot in your video is where I built. That water spout is awesome for launching your Maewing so high you can cover most of the map. There is also a vent above it from the space area. You can be totally overburdened with resources and just drop down.

I probably woulda chosen the secret valcano base as mine, simply because of the star wars vibe i get when looking at it. Definitely would make it a space port or a hanger for hover skiffs and meks (and i mean a LOT of em) i want the imperial march to go off when you enter 🤣 love the vids, and the hard work you put into each of them really shows in the quality. Cant wait to see the next series of Ark ABCs.. it was that series, alone, that saved me from quitting this unforgiving game, so Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for that.

I built on top of one of the space portals, right next to a mission terminal. It's nestled back into the top left of the Eden biome, and it's nice except for water. I might end up building my greenhouse elsewhere, or further down at the base of the mountains. I have an amazing view though: snow owls and quetzals right outside the walls!

[barryaitchison]

the guys that done that map have done just an amazing job im loving genasis 2 myself

[bamaboyett]

Love your videos and channel. It’s crazy I built right in the middle of where those lord bridges connect. I love that spot

[InfernoRodan]

That spot you settled on for your base is one of the top spots I've been eyeing to build on too. The only thing stopping me is the waterfall noise is so freaking loud that I don't think I can handle it.

[nickhunt]

I built above the little waterfall across from you. Nice little area. It's just so far away from metal.

[sidp]

I'm gonna build on that waterfall under the space needle. The view is fantastic and it's close to the walkways in the space biome to cross over to rockwell's garden.

[funkyneto]

Loved the video! Not sure if you have done something similar for the other maps...if not, it would be cool having you fly around pointing out cool base locations.

[perceivedvelocity]

I normally like to build in the middle of the map. I'll probably end up building on the Eden side near to one of the bridges to the void. It's such a huge map. So many possibilities.

[TheJiroScope]

The vents to space are super cool spot for a base.

If you hold CTRL+Shift while over encumbered wearing tek armor, you can walk! Slowly, but better than nothing
