Aylana314159 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 If you are new to Ark, spend some time learning to play in single player mode. For official servers you are going to have to travel to more difficult areas to find land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aylana314159 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Then you just have to be patient. Watch decay timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can build with pillars and ceilings on a cliff face. You have a few tools at your disposale: Cliff Platform (made on Aberration, you probably cant get one unless you trade for it) or you can find a nice cliff spot you like, find a spot where you can put a few foundations and make sure to have one overhanging the edge as much as you can. Then you just snap ceilings out, when you get two out throw a pillar into it and send the pillar to the ground. From there you can work out, a small ..glitch.. in the building system is to snap single pillars (MUST BE SNAPPED) all along the whole bottom area (snapped off the single pillar up to ceiling) and it will act as you have puy every pillar straight to the ground then you make your top area as big as you want with much much less building. (tip: doing this you can also lower your foundation height by slightly putting it down the cliff edge a bit then subsequent foundations into the cliff face will be lower) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruvas78 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 No maps are safe. If anything, the Island is safer due to the lower levels of dino that tend to spawn. Giving in and leaving the map after a set back won't help. Just keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about this glitch you speak of. Can you elaborate on what you mean by bottom area? Are you saying take one pillar from the ceiling down the ground below, and then snap pillars around it from the ground below? Or from the ceiling all around the pillar that goes to the ground?

DeHammer Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I'm fortunate to have started on private PVE server. If you ever get to the point where you love the game, but don't care for the issues related to overcrowded public servers, I can tell you that a private server is the way to go. Especially if you have a few friends playing with you. Its pretty cheap to rent a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenakedbob Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 U snap pillars on top of each other over and over i did it at stone hedge when i found the pool area free just make sure ur above the water cuz i couldn't place things even though i was above it claims is underwater so maybe go 1 pillar above and u can build on the rock side at stone hedge pool so can attach em both if u wanna try it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You snap single pillars to the pillar you sent down to the ground, like this: ----------------- ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! If that helps (- ceiling ! Pillar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pillars in a row are snapped to the bottom of the pillar coming down from the ceiling above, snapped along the ground. The pillars must be snapped (foundations work too, just snap found off the pillar then work founds out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
