This is my latest how to build video it is a Wyvern pen. The idea was to build a pen that did not take up a huge area therefore it is build in a modular fashion so that you can stack the platforms as high or as wide as you need. Enjoy!!
Personaly I prefer when you talk Aaron, instead of written instructions (that's why I watch videos, so I don't have to read)😉 Love your videos by the way! I myself enjoy building in Ark.
Wow I love your building style so much!! I started to play this game a few days ago, and I don't understand nothing, but I know that I will do my house and pens with your videos!! A new subscriber ;)
This is awesome. I'm currently building on large desert ruins on rag. I think this will fit on the top of it. Im gonna use Adobe to blend with the ruins. Awesome work as always. Thank you!!
Seeing things like this really makes me wish i had the patience for this game again. After 1100 hours...I just can't bring myself to do it anymore. But i enjoy seeing structures like you have on your channel.
funny you say that i am actually building on a 2x2 metal ocean platform and i built the ocean platform one and right next to it i'm working on this but because of the platform i'm having to change things here in there, so far elevator doesn't work correctly so ditch that part
I don't know if a recent update did this, but the elevator track seems to snap on the foundations. Am I missing something or is it intended? EDIT: Turns out elevators can snap their bottom with the bottom of foundations, making them go through the foundation and thus burying the platform. To get the snap-free placement behavior, I had to move a bit farther and aim from afar, which lets the track be positioned in the intended way.
Thank you for this video! I really needed a pen building for my big mounts and now I can build it without using too much space. I hope, I have the same patience as you have xD
A big Pen You should see my Castle on Crystal Isles it is a Monster. I call it Castle Keep all built in Stone. It is 60x60 Corners are 12x12. Walls connecting Corners are 3x54. Corner rooms are 3 wider than the connecting walls. The height of Everything is 10 high. With the walls only 9 high where they connect to corners. Stairs lead up to top. There is a 10x10x10 Front Breeding Room. Centered up front. The build is diagonally built NE to SW. Inside Yard has loads of Room for Dinos. Power is Provided by 8 wind turbines 2 on each corner the front breeding pen has access by 3 behemoth Gates. One to Outside and two accessing the Inside Court Yard thru the wall. The only problem was the Crystals that are Unharvestable and some trees which also are Unharvestable. As with Aaron this was built on Single Player for spawning in Product. The actual build was done with a tamed Griffin and Loads of thatch Celings and Wood Ladders to go up and down on. Blood and Crystal Wyvern (1 each) Protect the Corners. A Simple but Awsome Build. Across from the build on the beach is a Mosulem honoring My Immediate family who have passed away from 1963 to 2009. Included is the First Love of My Life Paulette. I was with her a couple Days before she died of Cancer. My Wife did not like it but Tuff Stuff. I went to see her anyway. We were Friends since ages 7 and 9. I was two years older. We started dating when I was a senior. AND NO I Never slept with the Lady while we dated. I probably should have Married her but I didn't. Yes I am an old Fart and have been Gaming since Pong !!! I ARK mostly on PS4 but also on my 2 Laptops. I have been coding on PC forever. My Preferred is Assembly Language but also I program with Pascal.
This build looks wonderful, saves space designed well love it just one question, no disrespect intended I personally do see an entrance/exit for them how do they get in and out for usage I want to use this build solo I just don't understand how to get them in and out
If you're struggling with it, start from 12 foundations in the centre (6x2) then snap triangle foundation on any of the centre foundation. Keep snapping until you'll reach length roughly at plus 1 normal foundation, compared to the centre, and your last triangle foundation should be turned with sharp edge to the center. Then simply snap normal foundation on it - then repeat.
@@AaronLongstaff No problem man! I used this to build a Wyvern pen in my own server, and it works so well! I’m going to have to check out some of the other videos to complete my base :)))
Thank you for your videos! They are a big help! And really detailed! Would it be possible for you to make a bigger wyvern pen video? I have 24 wyvern (had to much fun taming them 😅) And I've got no Tech-stuff yet, so I am not sure if it is only beauty purpose or if it only goes with them. Anyway Thank you a lot 😊😊
You can make the same design with the combination of wood and stone stuff but you can use only one material if you want. I made a combination design on my pve and it looks amazing!
tried to build this but kept running into an issue the elevator platform wouldn't go on kept saying needs foundation support while sitting on a foundation How did you get around this
i can not get the elevator track to rotate the correct way. i just re-laid the entire foundation thinking it was something with how the foundation was rotated, but no dice. I am on PC
If you're server has "allow clipping/meshing" turned off you will not be able to do certain parts of this build. For example placing the stairs and turning them into ramps on the ceiling isn't possible due to it saying the stairs are obstructed no matter what you try.
Update: when placing the stairs under the roof if it keeps saying it is "obstructed" just follow his steps to place the stairs EXCEPT remove the 3 ceilings over where the stairs are being placed to place the stairs down then you can put the ceilings back afterwards. This is the work around I found.
I love his designs and I use the almost 4 years old breeding pen design as my base with some adjustments, but I often keep asking myself when watching these "what's he practical use for this?" "I can think of 439056396 problems with that" I really wish there was a better balancing of art and function with his designs, like buildings that are at least 70 years old
@HollaHolla DollaDolla I know, but even for PVE those are meant for form over functionality, for example, of you were to take off or land from the bottom 2 floors, can you visualize the hassle? I made the compact workshop in a PVE server, I like the fact that it is very compact, but having to unload everything by hand to a vault or storage is annoying when you have to walk around the furnace instead of stopping the dino next to it and unloading just by moving the camera, the hatchery design I mentioned can't raise dinos taller than 6 walls, so you still need an outside for them or raise in the ceiling, and each design has these functionality problems, some far more than others
This one is really hard cus I didn’t I understand where you were putting the cables down I tried lining them up as in the picture but mine didn’t show the two screws or the generator wasn’t facing the right way
Did you have an issue to where the wyverns on one side would start falling through the floor if you went away then came back? It’s only happening on the left side for me and can’t seem to fix it
Hey man! AWESOME builds!!! What mods do you use to get rugs and ornaments in your builds?! How do I get all that on Ark for Xbox??? Keep it up! I just built the treehouse on the Island in the redwood at the private Pond, and I'm building a modified (Larger) version of your greenhouse now! A++++
For the life of me I cannot get my elevator to go past the first trap door. I select open on the door. All the track says powered.... what am I doing wrong?
my elevator wouldnt work with the platforms even when i tried placing at a distance so i just took them out and it worked it looks a bit weird but i need it to work xD
What is Easier is for you to add another set of levels to the existing structure. And Then there would be your 12 in much less Space. I built something simular to this on Crystal Isles when the map 1st hit.

Plz make a managarmer pen and big fan bro
Are you excited for ark2
does it have to be tek
@@andrewreeves8360 no
Great thing about this build is that its stackable. Easy to add new layers
Yeah that was the plan almost like a multi story wyvern park
You'd have to stack this infinitely to go for mutations
Just completed this build 👌 8 hours total and several days of grinding for materials 😊 now to fill it up
U can uh use admin cmds
Why didnt you use s+ and stack mod xd
No commands were used and I had used Rex & Griffin for the higher parts and the serve I am on has a few stacked mods but nothing crazy
@@Leonalayja 'Cause it's cheating and it's not fun
I wished on this video you showed how to do the foundation as it’s very confusing for new players especially with the triangle foundations
So glad you went with the closed back end on the platforms. Looks so much better. Great build

Earned some respect with this build its very easily multipurposed.
I would love to see this build combined with his ocean platform base build!

I don't even play ark anymore and this build has me reconsidering that life choice
Absolutely love this build. You're a champion for it. Keep up the good work.
I'm definitely gonna do this but with stone
Nice. Now all i need is a Wyvern.
The Wyvern Trench is in the N E Area of Valguero.
I’m struggling snapping those stairs underneath the thatch ceilings can anyone help?
I don't know if a recent update did this, but the elevator track seems to snap on the foundations. Am I missing something or is it intended?

Thank you for this. I was having the same issue
Just want to leave a comment, so thank u
Thanks a lot Aaron. I've been wracking my brain on what to build in 1 of the ocean cubes on Genesis for a base design.
Love the vid man keep up the great work
Dang I wish I could build like this... Keep up the good work! 😸
Why can't you
Takes a lot of patience. I'll say a lot of my time is spent tweaking a base build. Trying to make it easier to use.
You can he just showed you
@@dravengiles4606 I know I'm just saying without his help. Like I can come up with ideas by myself

Hello there! I have a question regarding the triangle fountains in the first few mins 1:12 , and i cant get the triangles to turn
What system do you play on?
Thanks so much, this is a beautiful and very useful build, I love it
Nice build, love the modularity! :)
Gathering all the materials/structures took a while but its a great design!
This build looks wonderful, saves space designed well love it just one question, no disrespect intended I personally do see an entrance/exit for them how do they get in and out for usage I want to use this build solo I just don't understand how to get them in and out
you think you could add bit you placing the foundation? as cant see how its done

my goodness thank u so much!!! can u build a kitchen industrial cooker or like a tavern next???!
As always buddy, a thing of beauty.
Make a Megalocerus pen pls your videos are so cool
tried to build this but kept running into an issue
the elevator platform wouldn't go on kept saying needs foundation support while sitting on a foundation
How did you get around this
That sounds like the elevator track is not aligned correctly it happens quite a bit
i can not get the elevator track to rotate the correct way. i just re-laid the entire foundation thinking it was something with how the foundation was rotated, but no dice. I am on PC
YES!!! Thanks for this, Aaron!
Very good video Bro, you should make a pen for giganotos or a market would be cool
Nice build bro i love it 👍
Really do like the build but I cant seem to land the wyverns on the second floor or fly them out.

im thinking of building this in my base and i was wondering if it would viable for breeding as well
I can't see why not possibly change the middle part for that
can this be done on official server setting? doesn't look like the ceilings would be able to snap without more foundation support.
Yeah all official settings
@@AaronLongstaff Thank you
great build, but you actually need 12 greenhouse ceilings and 48 tek pillars
Thanks sorry it gets confusing remembering all the mats
This one is really hard cus I didn’t I understand where you were putting the cables down I tried lining them up as in the picture but mine didn’t show the two screws or the generator wasn’t facing the right way
Would it be possible to do it in stone instead of metal???
All building items use the same unit size. A metal wall is the same size as stone, wood, glass, etc. So, you can make it out of stone if you prefer.
got a design for 30. I'm on crystal isles
Just stack it higher and put 2 on either side
Did you have an issue to where the wyverns on one side would start falling through the floor if you went away then came back? It’s only happening on the left side for me and can’t seem to fix it
I built my own Wyvern area the other day and this happened to me too, it's really annoying.
@@izallskilfoo I think it has to do with the creatures rendering in before the structures.
@@mohsaic3489 that actually does make sense. Frustrating tho because how can you fix that?
Suggestion for the next build: A tree house hatchery/ base with a bridge to the ground and the next platform with the hatchery maybe?
Where’s the vid?
its up now!
Nice Video 👊🏽😎
Hopefully this'll work for the drakes as well
Looks amazing but how hard is it to get them in and out ?
Not as hard as you would think. All you have to do is get them on the platform and just line their heads up between the pillars
The pillars are there to stop them if you fly in from the back the pillars will line them up!
@@ReasonedEel exactly that did you watch the stream?
@@AaronLongstaff was there for the first half, outcome looks great!
I only have one wee question... How in the heck do you get them IN?
Cryo...😑
Good job !! It’s awesome 😍!! Can you do a parasaur pen
Great suggestion!

Hey man! AWESOME builds!!! What mods do you use to get rugs and ornaments in your builds?! How do I get all that on Ark for Xbox??? Keep it up! I just built the treehouse on the Island in the redwood at the private Pond, and I'm building a modified (Larger) version of your greenhouse now! A++++

Hey Aaron I have a big request. Could you make more aberration builds? Specifically a rock drake pen?
I was just gonna use this for my rock drakes on abberation
C’est quoi cette musique à 6:00 min svp
So you usw normal structures or ss or s+?
thank you so much
I just finish this :,) thanks
i wish you show us how you did the ground part -_-
The wyverns can fly between the pillars?
their wings can phase through em
I bet you could build two and incorporate a bridge to form a hangar for 12!
What is Easier is for you to add another set of levels to the existing structure.
And Then there would be your 12 in much less Space.
I built something simular to this on Crystal Isles when the map 1st hit.
Can you please please 🙏🏼 do this for ASA?
Would this work for quetz?
So will this work on Xbox? To build that high?
Yes I built it on Xbox
The elevator isn’t working can someone help
Building this on official ;)
Do Therizino one
Keep up the good work bruddah
Your list isn’t right, you need 12 greenhouse roofs but you say you need 10. Just a little tip
