  1. Yeah ... met too. That is actually an upgrade people from my tribe and other people from the server did while I was away. Guess they thought "After all that hard work, lets give him an upgrade".

    ARK Step Pyramid

    Well ... my initial goal was to build an Egyptian Pyramid, but since we didn't have any sloped roofs when I started, I went for an Inca style step pyramid. Started the whole thing in Wood and later upgraded to stone. Every step of the pyramid is a full floor which can be used for different things. The ground floor is the biggest step since I had to put in a Behemoth gate. This step of the pyramid is where I keep my dino's in some pens and some living / working quarters. Smithy, Refrigerators, Smelting forge, fabricator and other things are located here. Second floor is my 'Botanic Garden' ... only recently started that. It has a lot of crops so I can farm my own berries and vegetables. Top floor has a dino gate which allows me to fly in my birds and unload them. Ever step / floor has a ramp to access the next or previous floor on the inside, and there is a set of ramps on the outside too. Every step has of course it's own doors behind the ramps so I can enter and leave the building on any floor. Steps 3 to 5 are empty for now, but I have plenty of space there to do other stuff. During the winter event my Tribe and other people from the server joined together (while I was away) and put up a lot of artefacts and other things on the outside so it looked like a christmas tree :-) The top now also has some kind of 'Round Table' and war drums which can be used for meetings and other stuff. Biggest problem I had was collecting all the wood to build the structure. If I remember it correctly the ground floor is 29 x 29 blocks and 12 blocks high. Each subsequent flor is 4 blocks smaller and 3 high, top floor is 6 high to fit in the dino gate. Every floor is almost fully closed up with ceilings, except for the center which allows me to fly up and down the first 4 steps of the pyramid with a bird. Of course ... it didn't turn out completely the way I wanted. The base is large, but I don't mind that. Each subsequent step of the pyramid should have been 6 blocks high though and probably wider to look a bit more like a step pyramid. But hey ... even the egyptians didn't get it right the first time right :-P Might be building a new one soon ...

    Hole in ceilings

    From the album: ARK Step Pyramid

    I decided to leave the center part of each floor / ceiling between the different levels open so I could fly up and down with a bird. During the whole thing I started replacing some ceiling floors with foundations due to eggs falling through and big dino's getting stuck in it. As you can see ... that made some parts of the pyramid ceilings break. Repairs are in order :-)

    Decided to use the second floor to put down some Crop Plots and farm plants and berries there.
