I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but I destroyed a building I had because I wanted to build something better but now the game won't let me build anything wear that building was it just keeps telling me you can't place this on the floor even when it's foundations. Is there a cooldown time before you can build again in the same spot or has my game glitched or is there a cool down timer I need to adjust because it's starting to get annoying I can't build what I want to build. And there are no obstructions it's a flat surface ich or is there something I've done wrong.
I'm not sure if I'm glitching or what, but I can't seem make any of the foundations stick the way you are. Pillars only want to be in very center of a foundation, I can't seem find any other snap points for them. Is this advice for pure unmodded game or is there some building mods enabled for this?
@@FurlowT it's an unmodified single player game and thank you for your advice but it doesn't matter now my game got completely wiped and I had to start again. I don't know if it was my Xbox series s that crashed or the game that crashed or a server wipe but when I try to load up my last save it kicked me out to the Xbox menu and when I loaded up my game again and tried to go into my last save instead of starting me where I was last too it had put me right back to the beginning instead and had wiped all my progress.
@@vladangelus7530 Ouchies, that sucks... Doesn't seem like the game has any good way to save one's game, unless i'm looking right at it. But, oh well...
@@FurlowT no mods. When you place a foundation, in the direction you are facing you'll have 5 pillar snap points touching the foundation. 2 in the side that looks towards you, 1 in the middle and 1 in the back side. Make sure to practice that isolated from a build.
Here's an idea, the Ark devs should fix their crappy building system instead of everyone trying to find ways to work around it. Great vid and ideas all the same :)
Thanks! It was constantly in my thoughts while editing but I wanted to test this format. Anyone else feel the same as Marcelo? Like his comment or drop yours. Don't want to turn this into a popularity contest, just know if someone else share his feels about the vid so I can keep polishing my vids.
@@SefiroUltima I think something that might help is break it up into chapters. Then go chapter by chapter which comes with the added benefit of you can add chapters in the video description. Like something like this. 00:00 How foundations are checked 01:00 Using Fence foundations to expand 02:00 Using Pillars to expand 03:00 Different techniques to check snap points etc, It also helps increase retention as people know what to expect that is still coming with out being completely spoiled as maybe the first 20 seconds they already know but see something starting at 40 seconds that they don't, so they will keep watching to see the 40 seconds part.
@@NaturalCauzes Thanks. Will think about it tomorrow. Seems like a good way to index stuff so people can rewatch. The vid is indeed based on many tools combined together. I didn't felt like explaining the pillar sink once again for example, but I know there will be people needing that explanation. I maybe could have explained some stuff in a more step-by-step process like making a line of fence foundations toggling snap points instead of looking for them with sight. But I tend to be very concise while scripting and talking and I usually feel said stuff is enough. But I really want to test a combination of the youtube's common no-time-to-breath pace with jokes and showing what I'm telling while hoping ppl will be able to retain, rewatch and practice. i might be wrong tho. Let's see.
It was hard to keep up with this but I learned a lot, thank you. The main things I learned are that I should use ceilings as floors. Fence foundations as foundations. And that Ark's building system is terribly designed.
@@taylormay9938 They are creating snap points and connecting buildings to each other so it's considered one structure, allowing you to build above it more easily. Without them you would have gaps in where you can place stuff when doing "floating" structures.
@@taylormay9938 they are becoming the foundation support instead of using an actual foundation. You can use fence foundations to create shapes that are anything other than square or rectangular.
Loved the video. I realize there are console players out there, and this video is meant especially for vanilla players, but my preferred way to build is with clipping disabled and the S+ mod, which allows foundation stacking. Honestly, foundation stacking is all wild card needs to add to fix most of these problems.
Thats crazy man. Yeah I think people should build on uneven terrain because while it is more complicated and resource costly. Im confident to say every map has way more uneven terrain than flat land (which IK falls to the devs but we all know how they are and were all completely fine with it). Theres so much land that just doesnt get used and I think needing such perfectly flat land which on populated any type of servers is extremely rare and takes hours to find throws away so much of the map in a sense. But workarounds and videos like this sure do encourage such builds!
you are amazing, patient, and brilliant. I have struggled with that sudden change in terrain and had trouble understanding quite how to progress. Thank you.
I learned to click two roofs, then a piller (for support), and a doorframe under the end. You will need a ramp up to the next level after you destroy the roofs but it ends up looking like a fairly clean build albeit multilevel.
Awesome Guide :) Wish I had this when I was trying to build my base for my modded series xD Would have saved me a good few hours trying to figure out how to get my foundations lower!
im really dumb at the beggining, even think this is maybe not working anymore, but after a lot of tries, finally get it, this still working by this time 09/13/2023, incredible and really useful, thanks a lot for that
I pray to god the devs fix building in Ark 2! Like it has to be the most frustrating building sandbox I’ve ever played! Your lucky the Dino’s keep me coming back haha
the problem is if i build the floating structure and then i destroy the fence foundation exept the main one, if i try to destroy something later the whole structure or some of it is going to be deleted
Indeed. It creates an offset. But is useful af. Prolly should start using it more often. In my case, it may be a matter of hotbar space and commodity. I use circle mechanics a lot, so my hotbat almost always has pillars, fence foundations, square and triangle foundations and square and triangle ceilings. Admin gun or demo gun if using super structures for quick toggle with Q and rocket launcher and flamethrower for landscaping. A ladder comes in almost permanently when I start decorating or free handing stuff in the build.
Damn, fence foundations are nuts. I've recently started playing on a cluster pve server (less headache from having to stay up because of raids) and I have the freedom to finally build something I could enjoy. But I had the idea to have a lifted house inside my base, I was able to place ceilings on pillers but after two or three rows of them I couldn't because no foundation to snap to. I'm gonna try this when I get on again.
Thank you so much for the video but there one thing that not working and I don’t know why. I am trying to build up high and the fence foundation and pillars set up does not work I have to build so many pillars ever second foundation it’s driving me crazy. I am trying to build a bridge
hey i tried this upbuilding thing at 2:43 but sometimes it worked and sometimes not, is the any regulation the next ground high that i can place a fundation? if its ok for you i could send you some pictures
what im having trouble understanding is the stuff at the beginning. foundation support only allows you to build out so far before you need to place more foundations. the way you were just infinitely place ceilings with almost no support doesnt seem like its following the games mechanics.
****you can also just walk back wards as straight as possible to try and find a new snap point*** the foundation will be lower or higher.. make sure your far enough away so walls dont overlap.. try and angle the camera.. easy to build giant walls adding in litte slight turns with the rotation feature..
I give up. I’ve been trying this on console for the pass few days and can’t seem to make this work. Doesn’t help that I can’t understand the concept of what your trying to say and just registers as jumbled words to me, but that’s how a lot of things sound to me so it’s sadly the norm. I’ve been trying to recreate what you’ve been doing visually but that’s just not working. The ceiling trick doesn’t extend for me more then two blocks and the lower foundations I manage to place always end up halfway inside the previous foundation. Coordinates I’m trying to work at are 72.7, 35.0 on The Island map if that helps at all.
It's probabbly an issue with how youre placing the fence foundations. Gotta look at the snap point you want and toggle. Dont move mouse. Should also watch Captain Fatdog's video on floating structures.
This is a fantastic video! I've learned a lot from watching it. I am still having trouble trying to do one thing, though. I am using stone foundations and am having trouble getting my stone ceilings to attach so that the surface is level with the foundation next to it. For example, I place my stone foundation, sink a foundation next to it as you have shown, and then place my fence foundation and my ceiling, but the ceiling still sits higher than the first stone foundation. Is there a way to make them 100% even with each other?
It's too uneven. Can use whatever method to drop a foundation lower. I'd prolly use 2 catwalks snapped to the last foundation, pillars to every catwalk, pillars down and make sure to snap a foundation next to the last foundation. Then the fence foundation trick if it's not too high. Remember, that's just one of the tricks you cn use. You can still use the normal pillar ways of building or a row of fence foundations.
Any chance you know how to build off and down from an ocean platform? Building a bridge from it or building down the walls under the platform is a pain. Always says too far from platform.
I don't. But Captain Fatdog might know. He connected many ocean platforms to make an ocean base and he made a livestream about it. Dont have the link but can check his channel and his discord.
The only thing I wanted to know how to do you can't seem to find anywhere... How do you intersect stairs or make a ground L or corner shaped with 2 stairs or more... I'm referring to the stairs that can change into a ramp or back to stairs... Every video I came across only shows stairway or staircase tricks.... Nothing what I'm looking for.. basically I would like to curve my stairs. Sorry if I do not know the actual name of the stair shape...
Was this done on PC? I'm on PS4 and having trouble with going up a hill from a lower point. My stone foundation won't snap to the top pillar, only the bottom one. :( Is there a work around?
With unreal engine 5 coming out in August they’re implementing a structure lower or raising feature, we’ll never have to use pillars to lower foundations again!
@@SefiroUltima It’s absolutely incredible wdym you can EASILY build on uneven ground and even on official clipping is no longer a thing and lowering the foundations has never been more convenient
Very good video, can u pls make for triaangle foundation and cealings videos too, because i did make my base with triangle foundations and cealing and first everything was in stone than i wanted to replace in metal but when i replaced stone pilars with metal ones some part of my base is destroyed and on some part i cant build anymore because it said that i dont have foundation suport i dont understan why
I've been told that triangle ceilings snap to just 1 structure instead of snapping to everything around it. I haven't tested it but have had the same problem as you before.
I can't express how much frustration this game made me feel in only 15-20 hours of play time, im quitting. I was wondering why this game is 127GB, (on PC) now I get it, this is one of the least optimized games in humain history, its a miracle that they managed to make it work.
The only issue here is structure counts.not as big a deal on console but servers may still have caps to watch out for.mobile on the other hand is extremely limited and this isn't always viable
talk to fast and move forward to fast. are you saying using the foundation makes the ceiling snap to same height as the foundation instead of clipping unevenly with it?
@@SefiroUltima thats what I said. SLOW DOWN BUD! me slowing down the video doesnt make fast speech clearer. AND IM SIGHT IMPAIRED not hearing impaired. so what you say IS helpful.
With any structure. Have in mind that some structures have a smaller hit box than others. Thatch, wood and greenhouse structures have a "shorter" side which is useful for some situations. While building my spiral, sometimes fence foundations fell on the ceiling above the one I wanted to float. Changing the tek ceiling to thatch solved the issue. Then back to tek after the fence foundation float.
I would have loved to see how u managed to build this base 0:48 😍. I'm a huge fan of the design, but not speaking very good English it's sometimes difficult to understand... Too bad I couldn't redo this base... 😭
this what i think ark 2 should fix they should add somthing to make the ground level so that you can build a good bsae without doing things the foundations and pillars
Meanwhile on mobile absolutely every structure more then two blocks away from a foundation needs a pillar PER BLOCK for every single structure that tries to be three blocks away from the main building 💀
It kinda sucks cause stacking foundations makes everything easier, faster and you can use foundations as a design element. But in all honesty, I like having to figure foundation support and connecting foundations with other structures.

the problem is if i build the floating structure and then i destroy the fence foundation exept the main one, if i try to destroy something later the whole structure or some of it is going to be deleted
you can also snap stairs and then a foundation to the foundation (might not work on official but works for foundation supporting caves and stuff)
Indeed. It creates an offset. But is useful af. Prolly should start using it more often. In my case, it may be a matter of hotbar space and commodity. I use circle mechanics a lot, so my hotbat almost always has pillars, fence foundations, square and triangle foundations and square and triangle ceilings. Admin gun or demo gun if using super structures for quick toggle with Q and rocket launcher and flamethrower for landscaping. A ladder comes in almost permanently when I start decorating or free handing stuff in the build.
None of this works for me

How did u change the placement of the pillar ?
Does the fence foundation/pillar floating celling thing still work? I can't get it to work for the life of me.
Last time I tried it worked. Hit me on my discord to see if I can help you.
The roof over the fence foundation and pillars don’t work when I am trying to build up high

what im having trouble understanding is the stuff at the beginning. foundation support only allows you to build out so far before you need to place more foundations. the way you were just infinitely place ceilings with almost no support doesnt seem like its following the games mechanics.
0:35
It is. I am just connecting foundations at different heights to extend the range of the foundation support.
****you can also just walk back wards as straight as possible to try and find a new snap point*** the foundation will be lower or higher.. make sure your far enough away so walls dont overlap..
try and angle the camera.. easy to build giant walls adding in litte slight turns with the rotation feature..
I snap everything. I like to build stuff that belongs to a single foundation support system. Free-handing breaks that.
I give up. I’ve been trying this on console for the pass few days and can’t seem to make this work. Doesn’t help that I can’t understand the concept of what your trying to say and just registers as jumbled words to me, but that’s how a lot of things sound to me so it’s sadly the norm.

It's probabbly an issue with how youre placing the fence foundations. Gotta look at the snap point you want and toggle. Dont move mouse. Should also watch Captain Fatdog's video on floating structures.
The start made me laugh 😂
I feel like when they made the mechanics they couldn't imagine how people would use it to make such huge buildings sorry for my english
Yep. Pretty much. And nothing wrong with your english. You learned a second language. Most don't.
This is a fantastic video! I've learned a lot from watching it. I am still having trouble trying to do one thing, though. I am using stone foundations and am having trouble getting my stone ceilings to attach so that the surface is level with the foundation next to it. For example, I place my stone foundation, sink a foundation next to it as you have shown, and then place my fence foundation and my ceiling, but the ceiling still sits higher than the first stone foundation. Is there a way to make them 100% even with each other?
So why don't ppl just connect floor to the foundations isn't it the same amount to raid either way??
I’m on Xbox and it doesn’t work. I can’t get the 3rd pillar to snap to the ground.
It's too uneven. Can use whatever method to drop a foundation lower. I'd prolly use 2 catwalks snapped to the last foundation, pillars to every catwalk, pillars down and make sure to snap a foundation next to the last foundation.

Hey guy, i solved the problem of the foundations in official settings
The only issue here is structure counts.not as big a deal on console but servers may still have caps to watch out for.mobile on the other hand is extremely limited and this isn't always viable
I tried it and looked at it multiple times to see if I did it correctly and it didn’t work:(
Were you trying in ASE or ASA?
ASE
If your still on ark could u help me out on a build please I have a pretty unique spot I don't want to just build a box please help me
after 3 hours and this video i still have no home hanging over a cliff😢😢😢
talk to fast and move forward to fast. are you saying using the foundation makes the ceiling snap to same height as the foundation instead of clipping unevenly with it?
Ssssloooooowww iiiiiiit dooooooowwwwwnnnnnn!
@@SefiroUltima thats what I said. SLOW DOWN BUD! me slowing down the video doesnt make fast speech clearer. AND IM SIGHT IMPAIRED not hearing impaired. so what you say IS helpful.
Does it work with stone foundaitions ?stone ceilings?
With any structure. Have in mind that some structures have a smaller hit box than others. Thatch, wood and greenhouse structures have a "shorter" side which is useful for some situations. While building my spiral, sometimes fence foundations fell on the ceiling above the one I wanted to float. Changing the tek ceiling to thatch solved the issue. Then back to tek after the fence foundation float.
I would have loved to see how u managed to build this base 0:48 😍. I'm a huge fan of the design, but not speaking very good English it's sometimes difficult to understand... Too bad I couldn't redo this base... 😭
I didnt. It was Captain Fatdog
@@SefiroUltimaHa sorry ^^' , but thanks for the tips ! thank you very much for your videos, it helps me a lot
😍
@@atsinaoo3523 youre fine. Glad you like them. And thanks cor coming by. Make sure to check Cap too. Lots to learn from him indeed.
Hola, quería saber si estos trucos sirven para servidores no oficiales, que buenas construcciones haces genio.Saludos
Gracias. Sí, sirven en oficiales y no oficiales.
How do you enable clip?
Its a setting in your single player settings menu.
video of the structure minute 4:51 pleaseee:(
this what i think ark 2 should fix they should add somthing to make the ground level so that you can build a good bsae without doing things the foundations and pillars
Meanwhile on mobile absolutely every structure more then two blocks away from a foundation needs a pillar PER BLOCK for every single structure that tries to be three blocks away from the main building 💀
It's not flat though, the roof is raised just barely above the foundation
Use the green gun to check the height of both
@SefiroUltima playing on a public server
Doesn't work on official xbox
Wild card can't understand the concept of stacking foundations like Conan
It kinda sucks cause stacking foundations makes everything easier, faster and you can use foundations as a design element. But in all honesty, I like having to figure foundation support and connecting foundations with other structures.
Why is this not working right for me!? lol
just add a ceiling tile, then snap foundation under it
That only works in flat terrain unless youre using mods. Youre not snapping to the ceiling either. Youre snapping to the previous foundation.
Uhhh this work in mobile?
I dunno tbh.
