Yo Bey, just a heads up. Pipes are no longer needed, you place an intake in the water and it gives you a radius, then place a water tank inside the radius and this too gives a radius, using this you can place 3 or 4 tanks and have water transported anywhere, taps work if inside the radius without pipes. Electricity is the same
Damn that is crazy! I guess they have taken some notes from mods afterall haha, thanks for letting me know! I guess that makes some of my spots even better XD
I just built where my ASE base is. I almost didn't recognize it besides the redwood tunnel. It only started to look like ASE when I cleared the resource. The dense foliage alone really changes things.
Stellar showcase mate! The fact that you make the effort of removing some vegetation and placing foundations makes all the difference for us newbies. Thank you!
Funny how all these Top Base Location videos actually find different places. Also funny to hear you criticize the lighting, which is supposed to be one of the BEST things about UE5. LOL Thank you, Bey. Well done, as always. You've helped me find a new place to build!
Cheers mate! :D. Glad it was helpful! Yeah tbh, lighting looks alot better on my new PC, sucks because you do really need a high spec PC to enjoy the visuals with this game :(
I’m personally going to build in number 13 specifically the under cave part building greenhouse walls for those openings and a metal or stone foundation to cover the water and provide space to put things so many ideas
I would base it on whether or not you plan on taming a lot of water creatures because #18 you can't really use that base for any water tames as there's no cryos right now :(...I love how close #18i s to rare resources and Carno Island though, ofcourse you could just set up a water pen away from base anyway!
Nice Tutorial. I can't believe how good Ark Survival actually is. "Ascended" is my first foray into the Ark series of games, so yes I'm a noob, but loving it just the same. 😂 ✌️
What specs does it take to get an always 60FPS at medium-high settings at 1440p with DLSS at either quality or balanced? (No frame Gen). What graphics settings and specs has he got?
Mine's nothing special mate, I'm currently running this on low to medium settings because my PC sounds like it's going to blow up when I try high or epic settings haha! The Unreal engine must still make it look half decent because If I played ASE on these settings it would look ass :D
@@BEYPlaysGames Yeah. But I think it got to a point where most ppl have to use the lowest settings and it’s looks worse than ark SE defeating the main purpose of a remaster. I could play the last game at high and this game has to be at all low.
@@BEYPlaysGames it’s sucks that the 4080 is literally double the price a 3080 was. Just crazy. 1080 was cheaper than the 3080. Just been going up and up.
Sadly not, I couldn't believe it to be honest, no idea why they decided to put those on the ground! I usually just have to build ceilings over it when I built there, bit of a pain really but I do still love the location!
#9 and #10 were some of my first bases in Ark! Can’t wait to go back. We built a house on the rock you can see at 5:16 and made a series of gates to turn the whole cove into a big water pen.. Good times man.
@@BEYPlaysGameshey BEY I was going to ask if 9’s box you used to demonstrate how much you can build could be expanded or is that the only space you could build a decently sized home ?
Hey! It could definitely be much bigger, I just did a rough rectangle and in that case the foundations were too high on one side to keep building out but I hadn't lowered the foundation at all so could definitely get bigger if lowering the foundations on the flatter areas to be able to snap more foundations where the ground begins to slope down :)@@KaFullah
Have you played on the Svartalfheim map? Its the only other map available for ASA currently, but it would be nice to see some good base location ideas for it like this one.
@@Kkronoz42069 I've got an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060, 12th Gen Intel Core 17-12700K and 32gb ram, honestly my PC is struggling and i'm currently recording these with low to medium settings so i'm probably going to have to upgrade my PC to properly enjoy this game :(
@@BEYPlaysGames sadly the game is so poorly optimised that at 1080p max settings not even a 4080 can run it at 60fps... You will need to use upscaling and a mix of high and medium for best settings on any GPU
As I started I've build just a few steps away from the second spot but I need waaay more space now for a huge building and space for my 187 dinos + I hate this fu swamps. I will definitley have to check some of the base spots out. I know this video is pretty old but do you maby remember which one of them has the biggest building area? as flat as possible.
1, 6 and 19 are the the largest :) 19 apparently can't be build at on official servers though, it worked for me on an unofficial server and is honestly my favourite spot due to the flatness and location of it!
Unfortunately not, it's crazy we are not able to use cryopods! I have noticed they have made some of the cave entrances wider, for example hard snow cave had a tiny gap for an entrance before where I don't think even a Direwolf could fit through, you can probably fit a Theri or something through that now! Going to take us abit of adjusting playing without cryos i'm sure XD
@@BEYPlaysGameswell for pvp I like that they got rid of cryopods. It made the game too easy and made raiding too easy. Now that it’s harder to raid maybe my base won’t get wiped every damn weekend 💀 I’d like to have a pvp base that lasts longer than 2 weeks 💀😭 altho I would’ve appreciated a option to have it for PVE I’d like cryos in my single player world once it comes to console but I like they got rid of it for pvp. Plus we got mods now so surely someone will make a cryo mod or a soul ball mod like on pc ther will prolly be some unofficial pvp servers using them too so there’s that to think ab if you just rlly want the cryos back for pvp 🤷🏼♂️ just gotta find the right server
Honestly fully agree, LOVE that we are back to not having cryos! Yeah it's definitely a massive change for PVE, not really any plus to not having them there!@@DiamondSquidy
@@BEYPlaysGames yeah I felt like cryos were just OP I mean the cool down timer was long so you couldn’t spam it but if you got a whole buffed up stego line and 3+ ppl you don’t need to spam. And the fact that they’re changing crouch caves and stuff to compensate for the changes rlly helps balance the game better than it ever was imo. Bc the only counter to crouch caves that Ik of is cryos so obviously if you get rid of one gotta get rid of the other 🤷🏼♂️
Sadly some of these locations are not ideal on official PVE servers, since there is no longer offline damage prevention like ASE, so unless you ruin the appearance of the location with behemoth gates or pray that a titan doesn't spawn inside your fence, you can be raided / wiped by other players looking to cause grief. If they removed titans or gave us back odp like ASE had, then yes lots of these locations would make wonderful PvE bases~
Damn, that is a shame! Can't believe people actually play like that on PVE! It's meant to be the non-toxic side of ARK haha! Hopefully the offline raid protection makes a come back!
Location 9 is very good place to build, im going to do my base there. But i think there is an carno near cuz when i went there i saw something big moving on the forest. Im not 100% sure but it can be a carno. Anyways thank you!
Yeah to be honest, most of the locations on the video I would expect it but i'm very surprised you saw an alpha there, I don't think I've ever seen one in that area, just Raptors really! Must have gotten really unlucky :(...it's nowhere near as hard as most of the spots!@@killernator25
Noone shows the top of the redwoods mountain love! Theres easy to control choke points, metal, crystal, and obsidian nodes! Nothin much worse than an argie or some raptos usually spawn as well
Its crazy ive never seen my base on any of these vid but its a fantastic spot by red obelisk its the peninsula across from the island on the west end of the footpaw
Thanks! I have been using it which definitely does improve fps but do you not think it makes the colours really painful to look at? haha, it hurts my eyes playing the game, super frustrating that the game is so badly optimized!
@@BEYPlaysGames Seems volumetric clouds are bugged atm, they glitch and cause framedrops. A future patch might fix this. Can't really agree with you saying the lighting and shadows are bad though. If you run them at 'High' or above everything looks great. With clouds still enabled you sometimes get awesome lightray effects through the trees in the mist. With some more optimisation it will truly be a next gen game imo.
I do agree and I love the look of the shadows at high settings but I do find it very hard to see like a dinosaur that bum rushes you out the bushes for example :D@@ArbaLestos
@@inugamiguru3874 creature ai? I press x to doubt. they only updated the ai pathfinding. which was needed because it is a new terrain type (wouldn't want them to try and pathfind through objects that weren't there before). But it is not like their actual behaviour (the ai) has changed.
It's more for the building opportunity and it has some great starter metal and creatures to tame (i'm actually pretty certain it is the only friendly area that an Ankylo will spawn on the map as they normally spawn on mountains, or the snow which are both very hostile areas) I find the gap from the mainland is a pretty short distance, by the time it aggros you're almost at the island XD...Can't say i've ever lost my raft going back and forth, I usually always check before sailing though!

What I genuinely love about this game, is that I continue to not recognize like 90% of these locations now.

can’t wait for ASA to drop on PS5, debating whether to build at #4 or #18 🤔

Haha loads to do in PVE dude :P might be a little restricted with one map though!
There are no pipes or cables guys. It's all wireless and the water res just send water to near by things!!

#18 is the best spot. I’ll take #9 if that is taken when I get started on Xbox.

In stonehenge/oval pool, that river north of it is fulllllll of spinos, carnos and rexs so it would make a good tame trap
