Dodge2134 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I was building a base the other day and I thought that it would be extremely useful if you could have a system that would allow you to copy the overall structure of your base (foundations, walls, windows, and doors) and then let you save it as a blueprint. You could use it to avoid snapping issues and/or terrain collision in later development of the base. You'd still have to craft all of the walls, foundations, and ceilings but instead of just placing them, you'd use the blueprint to craft a completed base, and place that instead.

Mangost Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 good idea, but it would likely end up really buggy, but this would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMaas Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Just wondering, why would you build the same base over and over again? As far as I can think of, this only caters to server hopping troll tribes or people selling bases to beginners. For bigger bases you will run in to clipping issues if not buildin on exactly the same terrain. Personaly I see the development of a system like this not worth the effort unless terraforming is part of the new game. Even then, I think the bugs or glitches of this system will not save you any time at all. More pre-fab modules is likely more efficient to implement and use, as well as lighten the cpu load.

Zayisha Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Nice Idea. Something else i would like to see: free building tiles. But just for planing a building. Build, click finish, everything goes into a ghost/schematic Mode. Then you have to fill in the Mats. Everything better then place, wrong snap, pick up/demolish, place, wrong snap... etc. And please, options to build proper fences and stuff like that. No stair mode or fences that are going to stupid hights (with fence supports). Let us follow the terrain seamlessy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Arkpocalypse servers. Terraforming would be nice, but only to a certain extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly they need to change from Unreal to Unity for that it seems. If only terrain clipping would be less riggid it would already be an improvement!

I was thinking that they could have it set so if you can see even a tiny portion of the corner on a build, then the rest could be in the terrain. And adding some of S+ features too (rather than items, maybe just the pickup gun). Or just making the pickup timer a bit longer, and have the ability to place pillars on corners.

If it would be all the edges above terrain it would be reasonable already or if that's too much to ask at least let us lower walls more in to the ground. That timer can be pretty hars indeed, combined with rubberbanding issues. Another thing that is suggested already many times is the double function of certain buttons on controlers, when in building mode those should be limitted to building. And snappoint cycling... And... Wonder if the game will ever be out of early acces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin998 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Yeah! For example, I have an idea where I have an outpost in every one of the biomes, so I can just copy one base blueprint and just use it in all the other areas. If only it was implemented in ARK 1...

Dodge2134 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 It's been a while since I've interacted with this post. But with all of the Ark II info we got in June, it makes me wonder; did they add the structure blueprint and blueprint sharing because of this post? Maybe, probably not though.

Now it comes down to if Wildcard will hold true to the 2023 release date lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you got a little lucky landing on something that was already fully in development long before the posting of this suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's likely very true. But as they say, "Great minds think alike." /j I would not surprised if they were already working on this stuff. They're pretty good ideas for a survival sandbox.

I'm sure they've been working on it for a long time. It's not the first game to do it. Fallout 76 does this as well for example. Has for a long time.

Of all the games I've played WC listen to the players more than any, not even close. Most of the game has come from suggestions or player pressure. WC are awesome in that way.

Maybe we're all just wrong, and WC is actually amazing at listening to their players. They have changed direction multiple times over the years, introduced certain things, dropped other things due to player feedback - I've been here since the beginning, I haven't always agreed with them bowing to player pressure but they definitely have. As someone who came from WoW, believe me they most definitely do listen and don't have that reputation at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I've heard oodles of other players complaining about WC not listening. I guess us ARK players have it easy, huh? To be fair, at least WC aren't like Mojang. They've got that one creature vote and a bugs forum, but I don't think they have anything like this. Cheers, good luck, and happy ARKing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
