The amount of work you put into these vids are awesome
+Farmer Colin thank you it's worth it though my friend
@@AaronLongstaff i cant place the platform 😥😭😩😢 it says "Requires Nerby Foundation Support" but i cant put any foundation where i built it, so i used pillars and ceiling.
ANY HELP WITH THIS 🙏
the way you add text and arrows when you are building helps tenfold. If I'm in an environment where I can't listen to your instructions I can still read them and watch what is happening to get a good idea of it. Great job.
+Struggle Squad thank my friend glad you like the videos and thanks for watching
************PS4 & XBOX version controls have changed it is now (R1 PS4) and (RB Xbox) to cycle snap points******************
Hi my latest How To Build is this WatchTower it has an elevator for quick access to the main building, it has concealed cables and a power Generator, and there is plenty of room on the roof for Flyers!. There is also a separate room at the back ideal for an armoury or for storing valuable items. This can be used as a look out tower or just a base up high. if you want to add defences to it you could always add auto turrets on the corners of the roof.
Aaron Longstaff I love your build and is so interessing
Thank you so much Jeremy
Aaron Longstaff I love all your bases and I can't wait to add this one to my ark! Oh and p.s. Could you do a tree house build? Thanks!
Aaron Longstaff Could you make building tutorials for Conan Exiles once it comes out for console?
Yes I have been looking at this game for a while and no doubt If there is building on it I will be making videos!!
Your videos are so smooth and sleek and neat, plus informative. Good job! Keep up the work :)
+Kathryn Davis thank you 😊
Kathryn D IKR!!!😆😆
I already posted a comment but i love your video's and i think you need 100.000 subs love to you man
I hope you react 😁
Thank you Milan16 The channel has grown pretty quickly in the pst 2 months 20K would be a huge achievement. So glad you like the videos my friend!
these are potentially the best building tutorials, let alone for ARK. very well edited, and very thorough, whilst still being concise. the information, such as key binding, and placement methods are very helpful for building, and the designs give inspiration, for other works.
Hey mate! I have a request for a build! Or builds..
I was thinking like a new series? Like a fishing town series, so, you'd build one of the buildings one video, one in another, until its complete!
Then you'd have a proper town in ARK!
Thought that'd be cool
~Ben
Ben Webb This idea sounds really good but i think not for the serie "how to build", maybe do 2 separate series. :)
Boas v yeah I was thinking that too :)
First ever ark build video I've watched from start to finish, loved the step by step instructions with how many resources you'll need. gave me some awesome build ideas thanks!
+Alex Hennessey glad you like the tutorial my friend thank you!
How can there be dislikes? Great video bro. Gonna true this build for sure.
Robert Tiofilo exactly, ur not a true god if yo7 dislike
People dislike because they're either jealous, or they have a specific dislike for Aaron Longstaff.
1 of the best build explanations I've seen most tend to rush it but you show every detail this is great
i have used some of the techniques in this video to construct my lighthouse base on dead island. these videos helped me become really good at building, and i wanted to say thanks.
I've been trying my best to do the hex fence foundation but to no avail. You make it look so easy.
You are the best ARK builder ive ever seen
+DuckGamesNL/ DGNL thank you my friend
This guy has the creativity of a god
This tower looks awesome!
Keep up the good work :D
man, all of y'all asking for requests at least congratulate him for making this amazing build.
hah it's Ok Kb b I need to come up with a way of collecting all suggestions (online poll or something) as its getting hard to keep up with them. That way I could build the Top suggestions each week
You make the best building videos- actually going step-by-step
As a fellow arkian builder I absolutely love your videos.
Trying to make the octagon shape was the most complicated thing I have ever tried to do
It's impossible idk why ark just gets worse with each update when it comes to snap points
I figured out a better way to do the octagon. So because he’s in GCM mode, he can float about the ground, which means he can ignore the automatic snap points. If you have a tek jet pack or a sinnamacrop hover and that should take away the auto snaps. Another tip is start from the entrance instead of the side. That way you can make sure everything lines up evenly
I agree with you to many snapping points. I can snap the first three in. I just can't get it right
Beautifully edited!
your video editing so professional, i really enjoed this video.
Yeah I've been on it an hour now and it's just not happening
This was a fun one to try for myself. I built it in the Maw in a dried up river bed. I had to adjust the 5x5 foundations to the uneven ground but I managed it. I use it as a lighthouse to find my way home so I don't get massacred by a carnivore while staring at my map like a tunnel vision idiot.
+Rock Marcus great stuff I would love to see a pic my friend
Great vid and tutorial. Built this on my player dedi last night and it looks amazing!
Thanks
+Ray Hall thank you Ray s glad you enjoyed it
Doing the same on another player dedi PvP
I like how you started giving multiplatform instructions.
+Atanas Dinev thanks
We built an adobe version of your watch tower on Scorched Earth. Thanks for the video and the excellent presentation of construction steps!
Nice Build ... i'm trying my own version of it but the fence foundation octagon ... dude , this ones a pain in the ass . take me over an hour now to build it halfway . Is there a trick ???
Best build vid I have seen, gonna watch the rest of yours now. Thanks for the tips also. Cheers
+Sam Whitehead thank you so glad you like it
I used a Metal cliff platform on top of a large mountain pillar and made the main floor walls glass as well to look out onto the map from such a height. With the height the view looks amazing!!!
Amazing as always my friend. Truly epic!!! I always have trouble with elevators and never being even with the top floor. Always have to jump down or up. You make it look easy. Lol. Great job. Always smile when my phone alerts me of your new post.
+Kieran Byrne hey Kieran thanks my friend it's the first time I have used an elevator luck is what that was!!!! So glad you like the videos
Like...nah. Love, yes!!! :D
Hey there. So question. I am at the point of 12:15...building 2 towers like this to flank my walls for my castle design. I get the double pillars around to the last spot and only 1 pillar snaps - the 2nd comes up pink. Not understanding why as followed this design 100%...any thoughts or suggestions? Essentially get to where 1 pillar will not snap beside the last 1 of the set in the corners. :(
Thats exactly what I did on my own build used them as turret towers haha. are you using any mods like structures + if so they cause problems with my builds as I only use standard structures Vanilla
Ha, well great minds think alike. :) And nope, I am on an official server here, no building mods of any sort. I see now those pillars (1 on each tower is doing it) up top are just for accents...guess if I can't figure it out, I will just leave. Just weird that the other pairs snapped just fine. But on both towers, 1 lone pillar suddenly wants to snap partially inside the one next to it, thus is pink not green to me. :'(
Hi Aaron, never comment on vids ever but I I have to say being a player of ark and in my tribe I'm the builder, I'm always looking for new challenges. I can do complicated builds. But how you've set this out and made it look so simple is remarkable. I applaud you sir. I play on a player dedi server so I might steal this idea and make some personal changes to fit my tribe. I'm going to duplicate the tower so I have 4 and make a castle design to link them all together. Mine of course will be all metal but nowhere near as good in looks as this. Keep this up, subscribed and will definitely be watching more vids 👌🤙
Thank you my friend so glad you like the video and the channel. Thank you so much for subscribing also. I too love building complex structures in ark but I could never find any easy to follow tutorials so I set this channel up. It's sometimes tricky to dissect my builds once I made them for the tutorial but hey ho glad you like!!
10/10 Quality video, man. Not a single thing you coulda done to make it more smooth, informative or peaceful!! GG
The design like always - is magnificent. I question just how effective it is in actual "guarding" in PVP :)
I would build it entirely from metal - and add large hatch frames with turrets on. you already have a generator installed...
In a PvP server I used this, but a little shorter, to provide protection from enemy flyers. It has 16 auto turrets and a rocket turret on the top. It stopped us from getting raided twice when used in conjunction with pre-established base defense like X-plants to slow and blind, and more auto turrets to finish the job.
+yeah over is my preference hence all my builds are not very defensive 🤕🤕
How do people manage to get metal and turrets? I have been playing ark for a week straight and still use stone weapons and wood house..
Great build as always, I've literally done different renditions of your builds all across my base on the islands to make a huge city on my server. Did the mk ultra boat, multi purpose pins 1&2, and a few other's. Gonna try this watchtower in the morning, ironically yours in the video is located directly across from my base on the islands 😅. Thanks again for All your amazing build videos
Why should somebody dislike this? This is one of the most creatives ark buildings ive seen, aaron you should have more subs
Excellent! Best How to Build I have seen!
this is the best channel to learn building tips in arks super touchy building system. I like the fact that you don't drone on about subs n likes. all the videos promote the channel to the max. I type this while zooming on ur speed boat
+David Arnbrister thanks my friend! So glad you enjoy the videos builds your right ARK is a pain in the butt when it comes to building! To be honest I hate the whole "please like, subscribe,share my videos" that's all over RUclips I started these tutorials as I could not find any 'no nonsense' guides anyway so glad you like them
Back when you had 20k Subs and now youre more than 10x that. Awesome man. Great work
I just subbed! I think this is a great channel! The videos are good to follow, step by step.
+Dzjingle thank you my friend thanks for the sub
Im just addicted to your videos
+Bluuuubie thank you glad you like them my friend
I finished ur barn today on official server with some little changes, wondering how long it will last ^^
Very well put together video. It reminds me of step by step LEGO guides :)
Thank you Tim glad you like it
Hi when I first started watching your videos I thought they where great I looked at you subs and I thought these videos are so high quality he should have more than 19k subscribers I felt really bad for you as I know how much hard work you have to put into videos so I subscribed with all my three accounts and told all my friends and family about. I hope you get more subscribers and support, MasherSmith.
Hello look at the growth
Great build just built it in my server. Keep the builds coming man
Best Minecraft video ever xD it is very relaxing watching the builds I wonder how long it would take to build in an actual server. Well you got a new subscriber keep it up I'm I enjoy the music you choose for the videos especially the boat one I look forward to more ideas
+Luis Perez thank you so much glad you like them and thank you for subscribing to my channel
Thank you for that video it has helped me on all the server I have played on and I'm gonna use a lot of the other ones to
+Ethan Morrissey no problem my friend so glad you like it
I built watch tower long time ago and it was used to grow plants all glass what a woek of art
Loved this tutorial, great instructions and very easy to follow!
Crazy cool stuff, man! Lovin' it
+ChitterChatter Gaming why thank you my friend
You should Collab with Kviden.. Your exterior design skills, and his interior efficiency would create the most amazing self-sufficient base!
Awesome stuff, Aaron.
Make a PVP build next! :D
Man this thing is phenomenal!!!
+Joshua Gacusana why thank you Joshua glad you think so!
A++ on the video with instructions and the buttons for different platforms. I'm on Xbox and was looking for something to add on to my friends castle idea. I think I can make this in the center of the castle. Just waiting for Ragnorak.
Thank you so much for using my idea it turned out great like all your other builds
+Bacca Boy no problem my friend glad you liked it
Your videos are great and have helped me a lot with building cool houses and stuff :D
+Sky The Cat glad I could help sky cat 🐱
You make the best videos hands down! I always enjoy your material! I'm curious to see something like a perimeter wall on uneven terrain in the future. I can do them but you always find a way to simplify builds and make them look great in the process.
+Jeffrey DeLuca thanks my friend I will look into a large parameter wall on uneven ground at some point there are a few good methods out there. So glad you like the builds
Hi nice build good video
Have a question
I built this on offical pve server
All working apart from placing elevator platform keeps saying nearby foundation needed tried everything any ideas?
Another amazing build keep em coming please 👍😁
+ZOMBIEBLASTER57 thank you my friend I will try
You are awesome at building and I think it's time that I start to play ark again because your vids are Incoaurging me to do so ! keep up the great work

Very good tutorial Aaron
Jeez you're so good at ark tutorials some people are put this there that there this here add this
You should do videos of how to decorate your creations it would be awesome!!!!
BRAUCHINO21 yessss
BRAUCHINO21
Just built this. Ran into some issues tho playing primitive +. Had to substitute wood for metal and the elevator to a wooden one powered by an angry Gnome. It looks good tho up on top of my cliff platform. Tryed to gfi the metal in but couldn't place them. Nice video very easy to follow.
You just got my sub with the that video. really like how you did it, the build was great too.
+Steve Potgieter thank you my friend so glad you like it
Hallo Aaron, you make very impressive work ,i like your Style very much. Please don't stop making Buildings,you are my favorite Arkbuilder.
Best Whishes from Germany.
Thanks for the tutorial totally just finished this on a pvp server took a bit but got it.
Bro...you're epic. Great build, great video, nice BGM...you're gifted bro...truly.
+Experience Gaming thank you so much my friend so glad you like the videos thanks for the support
Best ark builder I've seen lol
+Victor Hayhurst why thank you my friend
Well explained by letting us know HOW many pillars and which snap point. Thank you.
I done it from tek ha absolute unbelievable build man keep up good work
Fantastic Job. I enjoy your How To Builds
Once again I'm blown away man. Your builds are simply amazing. It's awesome how fast your channel has grown. Nice work Aaron. Can I suggest a egg farm for your next build. Please and thanks.
+Longhaul80 thank you Longhaul80 glad you think so my friend it's nuts how quickly the channel has grown I'm not complaining though! Haha I have almost finished an egg farm design
Another great build as always. :)
I've been subcribed for a couple of days now and I really like your work it inspires me to build the building that you have made. All I got to say is keep up the good videos, and also love your videos 😂😂😁
+ArK DaMaGe thank you so much and I'm so glad you like the builds!! Thanks for subscribing
Love the tower built one out of all metal and put large metal hatch frames all around with turrets and made it more PvP this tower can hold lots of turrets I dnt know how to post a pic but genius build
You deserve so many more subs
I can't even come close to building this yet. but I'd like to say that its awesome you have the material list on the video before you even start the build! Just had a big hassel with someone elses video that made me waste over an hour with farming so this is very refreshing. Hope to build it soon!
Great detail subscribed . Thanks for the vid
Loved it I will try to build it on my map for my birds
+86Chook cool 😎
Hey Aaron
Thank you so much for such a great work
I inspired from you and recently started a channel for the same
The difference is I am building only in Mobile version.
Thanks again for inspiring me 😊
I always love your building videos, love the material list and how easy the steps are to follow. I was thinking could you build a kennels/cattery place thing for like dire wolves etc.(Kennels) and sabertooths (cattery), literally thought of this last night! Already built the Equus Stables and 3 Story House from your channel and both look great, keep up the good work
I love this Tower! Aaron, do you have any ideas in mind for building a base on a tree platform in the redwoods? I would love to see a building video for this from you!
+mary lala yeah I have been playing around with some designs it's tricky
Aaron Longstaff
oh thats great to hear! Hope you will find something cool to build. Think the plattform is sooo small to build a really great base on it.. but i think if someone can create something great on it, then it will be you!
wow awesome tower, I will probably build one later on :D
everything seems to be well thought.
Love the build and just about everything you've done, but quick question would the tower come crashing down if the foundations were blown.
+Andrew Rodriguez probably it's mainly for PVE you could always build the base with metal instead
Andrew Rodriguez yes
Two words ..... material list , that's what separates your build tutorials from the rest !! Good job keep em coming 😀😀😀😀
I've began a town of his builds it's got the breeding pen, equus stables and his beach hut.
I'm working on "Fort Longstaff" which will incorporate a majority of his builds into 1-3 mega-buildings.
Love this build buddy
Some reason I can’t get the fence foundations to snap in position for a even hexagon shape . It’s off center / won’t snap to angle . Frustrating . I’m doing something wrong but can’t find solution.
Realy awesome, I build a village with a view house that you have been created, it realy looking good on the pve server I build accectly the same tower as you did, however on the PVP server I changed the stone in metal , it realy looks good. I have build al youre structures on oure server. I realy like youre style
+Tom Langendijk thank you I'm glad you like the builds it's always good to hear how you change things up
Your awsome dude keep up the good work
Thanks Milan16 appreciate it!
Subbed!!!!! if you do every videos like this!!! perfect!!! nice tunes to go along with!
Thank you my friend hopefully you can see all my videos are very similar!
Placing the fence foundations is a NIGHTMARE. I'm surprised you did it so easily in your vid.
I learned that crouching directly over where you want to join a new foundation and going through snap points slowly works great.
I Know I'm really late to this but I'm REALLY struggling with the snap points when making the octagon shape. Nothing is connecting whatsoever. And the 'cycle snap point' controls for xbox are incorrect. That's the button that brings up the map...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh btw, the finished product looks awesome 👍
JamSarny yes the cycle snap points have changed. The new cycle is rb when trying to build 👍
Best build ever
Aaron, HOW DO YOU DO THIS?! You're just...SO GOOD at it! Loved the Water Base #2 and the Aviary, though I have not a lot of experience with building. 😂
+lastname ferrari thanks my friend it's a lot of trial and error to b honest so glad you like the builds
You should do pvp oriented builds. But definitely a great channel you just gained a subscriber.
+Diovael 79 thank you I will definitely look into PVP
I know I am late to the party but I am building this on my Ragnarok server with a few modification to fit my style. I post a link to a pic when it is done for anyone to view. Thanks for the content
