KRONOSDOUBLE Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 What happens to my indy forge on raft if clipped into Giant rocks/walls Quick question lads! Was thinking about making an indy forge motorboat to go and collect/smelt metal with, but I want my stuff to be protected. If have a full indy forge of metal and its turned on to smelt the metal and I clip it into a rock wall to make my structures inaccessible, will the indy forge still smelt while its stuck in rock wall?

I never said that, was purely asking a hypothetical. Plus, games been that way for years. Its practically just an aspect of the game now lol. But really though, what happens? Does the metal continue to smelt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowingly admitting to cheating in the game on forums sounds like a bad idea lol. I don't cheat anyway though, which is probably why I stuck on the bottom of the food chain cause I didnt dupe when everyone else was ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the game in a so poopty way that every structures can enter the mesh, it works totally find you just cannot access it inventory by standards ways. So you can put your whole base on one side of the raft and clip everything in the mesh. If players destroy the raft they get no loot bags, everything is inacessible. I would recommand to do it for starters days only because of this aspect. Some players will report you for it, others will not, but wildcard will never do a thing to you so enjoy the poopty mechanics it will help you go through early game in Ark. When you will be ready go put a legit base somewhere else. Some guys will consider this cheating, just answer them "are we playing the same game ?" In code of conduct they say :"exploiting: Unintended building mechanics (such as floating structures, using the world barrier as a snap point) " so it's totally free from interpretation, in my own eyes : "i only put a normal indus forge in a normal foundation on a normal raft" Rq: im totally new to this forum so i dont really know if people here like or dislike wildcard but in reddit i would have been instant downvoted for talking badly about the divinity wc My opinion: people defend too much wc, if they dont want you to build something or act dirty then they just have to change the mechanic. Just don't allow structure to go inside mesh maybe (same as for dinos) ???? blame the game not the player (im not for meshing duping but is it really player fault ??)

Zapha Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The only problem with rafts is if you transport dinos on it. They can't "mesh" and will be pushed out of the raft while colliding with terrain. To prevent this it's good to have the dinos one story higher on the raft.

One of my fav tricks is the humble pleb raft parked on an isolated beach. From outward appearances it seems just like another blank/empty raft someone's made then left abandoned on a beach but little do they know that when you move it out to deeper waters that's its boxes of treasure become visible. It's the vertical version of steering it into a rock and far less obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so there is no missunderstanding in my part i did not make this post i play on a pve server and have no intention/interest to clip i just joined this post when i saw someone asking about the their industrial forge on a boat which made curious since i thought they removed placing industrial forge from all plattforms including the motorboat and you have clarified it for me that it works so thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenon45 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Real question is... How are you going to put an Indy forge on a raft/motorboat? Unless you are playing unofficial or Single player this is not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr0knik Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 it should continue to smelt and the chances of wildcard actually doing anything about it would be very little. enjoy your forge. althought you might have to just use normal forges, but same concept.

Unless you are playing unofficial or Single player this is not possible I play on official and its quite possible, you just need to know how to build on a raft. a forge only takes a 2.5x2.5 foundation area to be fully on a foundation. My forge boat has a ind. forge, a ac, 2 fridges, a geny, a chem bench, several smithys (higher storage then large storage), 2 beds and a ind. grill along with 6 plant species X for defense.

Unless you are playing unofficial or Single player this is not possible Don't tell anyone; you have to mesh inside the boat, place some extra foundations inside (they must be duped ones otherwise it won't work), and then it will place.
