Use stacked fridges and tilted foundations to efficiently utilize space in ARK bases.

Use Stacked Fridges for Storage Efficiency

Stacked fridges are a quick and simple way to make the most of your storage area in a compact base.

steps

  1. Place regular fridges on the ground as the base layer.
  2. Use beams, which are a variant of the pillar, to create alignment points above the bottom layer.
  3. Slide additional fridges onto the beams, ensuring they latch securely.

Tilted Foundations for Innovative Builds

Tilted foundations allow for angled build structures on uneven terrain, adding versatility and creativity to your base designs.

steps

  1. Place a spiked wall to anchor the foundation.
  2. Attach a fence foundation to the spiked wall to create a base for tilted placement.
  3. Build walls and additional structures while preserving the tilt angle from the foundation setup.

Cryo Fridge Flooring for Versatile Storage

Cryo fridges can be uniquely utilized as base flooring while still providing accessible storage options.

steps

  1. Arrange cryo fridges side-by-side on tables or platforms to create a level configuration.

Elevator Tracks for Dedicated Storage Solutions

Elevator tracks offer an excellent base for organizing storage in tight spaces.

steps

  1. Use elevator tracks as a foundation.
  2. Align dedicated storage boxes onto the tracks for a clean and organized result.
  3. Disable snapping if precise positioning is required for a seamless layout.

Air Conditioning Setups for Heat Control

In compact hatcheries, air conditioning units can be strategically placed for efficient temperature regulation, enabling egg hatching even in confined spaces.

steps

  1. Install air conditioners beneath the floor.
  2. Ensure a sufficient number of air conditioners to completely insulate the room.
  3. Use the setup to create a clean, effective nursery for eggs, even high-requirement ones like wyvern and rock drake eggs.

Building Bridges for Expanding Base Space

Expanding your base to utilize cliffs or uneven terrain can be achieved with simple yet sophisticated building techniques.

steps

  1. Place walls to support ceiling extensions from a foundation to stabilize the structure.
  2. Use the extended platforms to create functional bridges across cliffs or gaps.
