ARK INSANE BASES SHOWCASE PART 5 !! Ark Survival Evolved Base Build Showcase

The dutch accent is 👌🏻😁

This one. This is my favorite ark build ive EVER seen. dear lord.

This is amazing! i love it

These are really good!!!!

5 is insane amazing

For someone who is bad at ark these bases look likes something made with mods

How do you get those textures??? I played the game and u have ugly stone basic lol. This is fake.

We need a mod list on console, come on wildcard, if farming simulator can do it you can to

Kudos to the gamers who spent hours and days building these kind of bases. Like seriously building bases require accurate measurement and searching for that perfect location to build it. Took me many hours to build up a spacious metal base

crazy good. i wouldnt be able to build something like this even if my life depends on it

All I'm thinking is that he must have gotten very close with his doedic and anky

oh wow!! :O it's incredible!! i love it!!! <3 <3 <3

“So many rock rakes”

This is Awesome!! Is it possible to download this map save ? I would like to explore it on my own !

Cool

God I want to play this so bad if only pc parts didn't cost as much as my life's worth rn

Das lekker Nederlands 🤣

Omg NL

I is nise base whoes it is

This needs mod?

I I'm sorry I cant play that server my computer is crap

Which mods are you/they using?

RIP my FPS

Can someone tell me all the mods that they used for this build?

Would be nice with a mod list. Got a lot of building mods, but have not seen a mod with all those furniture things and stuff. Looks incredible. probably the most finished and detailed build I have seen.

Now this made all depressed sitting in my 4x4 cube thatch base and trying to hide from those Dilos....

But still that was a real wonder of a build, pretty much gave my eyes organism

Nunca vou achar uma base mais perfeita do que essa

Almost reminds me of Hogwarts if it had a castle too

Just a guess but are you Dutch because your accent sounds like a typical Dutch accent to me. This is just my opinion so please don't judge me if I'm wrong.

One of the most creative bases I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

I think my build is nice then i see this then I’m like"............................."..........................

..........I’m trash

The first base you showed was incredible. Gorgeous build and the finishing touches made it even more beautiful . I wish console players could use these building mods too <3 I'd get lost for days building and designing lol <3

It would be far more impressive if they didn't use mods to build.

You Are The King and ARK

ba makes me wish my computer can handle ark i did a lot of big builds in minecraft and 7 days to die

WOW!

This looks really beautiful! You guys did a really good job there, I love it. But isn’t a base as big as this giving some lag/freeze when you try to fly around the base? It still looks beautiful though, so it’s worth the problems

If you want to see a base with size, come to the pc server island 47.

Very nice! I'm sure that took a lot of effort & probably lots of frustration, lol.

Ok, for everybody who'd like a very plausible theory for Ark's lore, please stay and read carefully. It took me a long time to sort this out, so please try to read through everything with a great deal of attention:

With the recent Explorer Notes we received (written by '???'), we've learned a lot more about the nature of the ARK System and what its current status is. For all of those that didn't read it and want a quick resume:

'???' told us that the ARK System's ultimate goal is in favor of Earth's future. However, it also told us that we're approaching an ending. According to her, we, the players, will ultimately decide if there's gonna be something new after this ending, or not. This could potentially mean that we aren't in fact saving Earth or ourselves. Maybe we want to ensure our survival AFTER the events of an approaching extinction, for example by making sure our DNA or our best people survive such a catastrophe. '???' also quickly mentioned the ARK System's age. In fact, it's stated that the "System has existed for eons", meaning it must have been around for more than a billion years! It's not that we've just recently fucked up and the System is there to compensate for such rather spontaneous mistakes. Also, you remember Aberration, the malfunctioning ARK that has it's ascension path re-routed to an Obelisk? Well, there's a high chance that there are multiple ARKs out there that are somewhat comparable to Aberration. '???' compares it to a function that has a 0.001% chance of returning an error, however, that function is appearantly run a trillion times. If we assume that this is the real number of ARKs out there, we have a total of 10'000 Aberrations! Consider this: The whole ARK system has, technically, 10'000 points where it's "cut", 10'000 points where people aren't teleported to the next ARK, but instead, to Earth. So whatever the System's original purpose was, it's almost certain that we'll never get to know it, as we'll all get transported to Earth sooner or later. Maybe it doesn't even have a purpose, maybe it's more of a loop than a set of stairs.

And that's where it gets interesting: This theory of an unsolvable System (before the existance of any Aberration Ark), is actually sort of supported or even confirmed by the notes of '???'. She actually states that the System is an "unsolvable knot" and that we're playing by broken rules. Moreover, she supports the decision of re-routing the
teleportation process, hence creating a path to Earth and further destabilizing and interrupting the ARK cycle. To quote her: "When confronted with a knot that's impossible to undo, don't try to untie it - take out your sword and cut it. Those who came before you did just that, but instead of a sword, they used a gate."
However, these cuts also have a downside: As their are more 'leaks', the System will get more erratic and will start to introduce more dangerous creatures to usual environment to the ARKs. Or, to quote '???' once again: "As its purpose grows more unachievable and its errors pile up, the System grows more desperate. Its actions more erratic. In its death
throes, these islands in the sky will become pits of madness. The chaos lurking in those cavernous depths will be the rule, not the exception."

It appears as if the ARK System doesn't want us to leave it, or it wants to make it as difficult as possible. Also, '???' mentions that we have to stop this process of making it more and more difficult for survivors. This is logical, as if we didn't, the System would eventually make it too difficult for survivors to even build a thatch house, for example by spawning in Lvl 150 Rexes all over the map. Imagine a repairman that plugs a pipe instead of fixing the hole in order to stop a leak. According to '???', it's our (=the survivors) task to stop this very process. In a way, we have to stop the System from becoming pointless and broken. We have to stop the unsolvable knot from becoming truly unsolvable.
'???' also talks about the Obelisks on Earth (e.g. the one's Aberration survivors re-routed the teleportation process to) and that they are "flightless prototypes" of the ARK's in space. It may very well be that the creators of the whole ARK program intitially wanted to do everything on Earth itself, but later on, they might have run into some kinds of problems. Maybe the Titans forced them to move or maybe there were other difficulties they couldn't overcome.

Also, let's talk about '???' for a second. From now on, I'll refer to her as a female lifeform, as she seems to have more of a female than a male appearance in the graphics of the Extinction Chronicles: As of now, we don't know her role in this whole thing: She could be one of the creators of the ARKs, she could be an escapist or even just a bystander. However, the first option is pretty much refuted, as it's stated that her influence is indirect and her actions masked. She also refers to herself as "The One Who Waits" and not "The One Who Acts". It also seems as if she has something to do with our (=the survivors) very existence. Perhaps you ask yourself: "Is she a Homo Deus?". While I can't completely answer that with the information we have up until now, I think it's extremely plausible that she is in fact a Homo Deus. Like in the Hall Of History (the big area before you fight the Overseer), she shares more traits with a ghost/spirit than any other species we've found in the game so far, including us (Homo Sapiens). And what are we? Well, it may be harsh for you to hear, but the players in-game aren't that different from the Dodos we slaughter every day. According to the panels seen in the Hall Of History, both species (Dodo and Homo Sapiens) are extinct. I think it's fair to assume that both species are also recreated within the System. This essentially makes us clones: We're not naturally born, we may actually just come from code. However, according to the lore, the ARKs seem to give every human a backstory or history. For example, Mei Yin made the impression as if she was from a different time compared to the people who built the Aberration Gateway (read the notes, you'll see what I mean).

As of the creation of this theory, I've heard of a book called "Homo Deus" that was created the exact year Ark moved to Early Access: 2015. If I still found the person who told me that, I'd give them credit. I'm so confident that this might actually be the correct answer to all our questions, that I'm unsure whether I'm gonna put a spoiler warning here or not.
In this book, there are so many things that are exactly the same as in Ark. For example, one subject that is described is the so-called Dataism and that it might replace Humanism. If we look at '???'s notes, we can clearly see that she thinks exactly like the concept of Dataism describes it: She considers everything to be math and algorithms. To quote her: "After all, it’s just math." The book also describes Homo Deus: A human without any meaning in their life, endowed with abilities such as eternal life. This description fits '???' like a glove: Her only purpose, if you can call it that, is to wait. She denies having a name and she considers herself to be the sum, not the purpose of her actions. The books content resembles that: With the absence of humanism, people may stop looking for happiness or power. This would result in the replacement of Homo Sapiens with Homo Deus: An eternal being, adapted to survive in a technological environment. The book closes with the phrase: "What will happen to society, politics and daily life when non-conscious
but highly intelligent algorithms know us better than we know ourselves?".

From here on, everything is speculation. One theory I like goes as following: By definition, Homo Deus does not have a homocentric worldview or a conscious intelligence. Instead, it has a datacentric worldview and unconscious algorithms.
In the ARK's, Homo Sapien qualities are not only asked, but promoted. People that adapt to their environment using their intelligence and human thinking will ultimately escape the system (by having the guts to build a gateway to Earth) and survive. To ensure this constant demand for human, almost rebellious qualities, the System needs to adapt. Consider this: If you're trapped in a room that already has an open door (just like there are already thousands of gateways to Earth in the ARK System), and you're walking along the walls, what would take place first: You leaving the room by using the door or you getting too frustrated and constructing a door on your own? In essence, the System is adapting so that everyone who has a specific mindset will eventually get to the point of cutting the unsolvable knot themself, before noticing an already made cut. It promotes the kind of intelligence Homo Deus doesn't posess.

I could go on for hours, but I think this is a good point to end this brief text. In my opinion, ARK is an amazing, if not the best game ever. Not only in terms of gameplay, but also in terms of lore and story. Remember hunting Dodos in 2015 when we didn't know shit about the ARKs? And then, with the introduction of the Ascension process, we finally realized we were in space, and not on a simple island on Earth. It has been an amazing journey and I hope that I'm at least somewhere near to the answers that Wildcard is going to present to us on November 6th.

wait... if I subscribed in twitch will I be able to join your server?!

who watched before 500 views

I wish this mods come to xbox😋(not that I am creative)

I would love to raid that

Is the server just for your Patreon members? It looks nice. If you like decor and dinos. I have a mod called Exiles of the ARK that add's in new dino types (that are NOT recolors) and new structures. An update will be coming out hopefully in in the next few days to add even more fun decorative items.

Wooow! Those Details :D This base is so crazy nice

Kiel your thing and Dino for a long time
