I heard that Aaron's "Long-Staff" really impresses the witches.

Finally someone that shows the controls in every system. Your channel is great, keep going!

I can't the only one that loves how he shows the controls for console and PC. Even how he speaks is calming and makes me want to build. And I hate building in Ark.

@TheeDwarfika 5 years ago

You blow my mind with these little tricks that you never see with most big Ark you tubers. Keep them coming cause you’re taking my building skills to places that I’m loving :D

@atomicastronaut2456 5 years ago

Okay. All of these were new to me and I gotta tell ya. I have been trying for so long to get walls in the middle of my foundations!! Thank you so much for this video!!!!!

@twatmunro9563 5 years ago

Man, I've only been playing for a couple of weeks or so, but my three houses are really just ugly box cabins with big gaps everywhere (and furniture poking through the walls.) Not only are these builds beautiful, but they really make me think I can build something kind of pretty for myself as well.

You are truly the architect of Ark.

@supermendi0078 5 years ago

So freaking useful, we need more videos like this, Ark building is a real puzzle sometimes.

@FirePumpkin 5 years ago

I liked the pipe fences! Great tips!

@TknoelTellsStories 5 years ago

I am so excited to see you continue this series! Watching these vids has really challenged me to get more creative with my own builds and not settle with what’s easy. Looking forward to experimenting with these and seeing what you give us next!

You are the best teacher for building in ark bro. Thank you so much for your tips about building bases. Worth subscribing you sir.

@GreenGrasshoppa 5 years ago

Love the wooden beam effect with the thatch ceilings! Gonna change my barns over to this look.

@Daethbane 4 years ago

That fence design with the pipes is genius man!

@reigngreyson4046 5 years ago

Just started up a new server, this is going to be my Bible going forward.

@sinisterfire6641 4 years ago

Dude, you've spent a lot of time and effort learning these tricks. Thank you so much

You are the Grian of Ark.

@Guitarpch1 2 years ago

You’re the man. Can’t say how much your building videos have demystified building for me. Just got ark on PS4 and I was pulling my hair out. I’m late to the party but glad to be dancing now!
