The base itself is located on Extinction at coordinates 49.8, 60.0. Please ignore the paint in the pictures, as those colors were simply markers I used while creating the templates.
If you have yet to complete Ring 1, go there and do that before starting here.
RING 2
Step 10: TEC Ring 2 x2 Bridge Entryways
This one is fairly self-explanatory. However, because ARK is ARK, you'll need to manually place all the floor ceilings and some of the roof pieces.
Step 11: Ring 2 Bottom Ceilings
Again, pretty self-explanatory! You'll need to place the floor ceilings manually, just like you did for Ring 1.
Step 12: TEC Ring 2 x2 Landing Zone A
This is one of the flier landing zones for Ring 2.
Landing Zone A connects to the second landing zone and a bridge entryway.
Step 13: TEC Ring 2 x2 Landing Zone B
This is the second flier landing zone for Ring 2. It connects to the bridge entryway.
Once Ring 2 is finished, you can move on to Ring 3 if you're a madman who somehow enjoys grinds like this.
RING 3
Step 14: TEC Ring 3 x2 Bridge Entryways
Pretty self-explanatory! Place the two bridge entryway sections.
Step 15: Ring 3 Bottom Ceilings
Because the game can't handle most these templates properly, you'll probably need to place the bottom "foundation" ceilings manually, just as you did for Rings 1 and 2.
Step 16: TEC Ring 3 x2 Hallways
Also fairly self-explanatory! Place these hallway sections between the two bridge entryways to connect them.

The Eden Citadel is a base originally built on my cluster, The Veridian Isles PVE, by a player who has since quit the game. They gave me permission to turn the build into a template for others to use!
With OVER 7,000 structures, this build is really only for ARK grinders who enjoy a bit of pain... and admins. 😂
This is my first time using the Template Hammer to EXPORT and SHARE a build, so bear with me! The build is split into MULTIPLE parts because, for some reason, I couldn't select foundations beyond a certain range. And, of course, we're dealing with 7,000+ structures using a Template Hammer with a 2,000-structure limit. lol
Due to the sheer number of structures and how the Template Hammer works, you'll need to snap certain pieces together manually. Unfortunately, getting everything to snap correctly can be a real pain with builds this large.
The base itself is located on Extinction at coordinates 49.8, 60.0. Please ignore the paint in the pictures, as those colors were simply markers I used while creating the templates.
A quick note about the parts:
There are A LOT of them!
Ring 1: 9 parts
Ring 2: 4 parts
Ring 3: 3 parts
All parts are labeled with names beginning with "TEC..." to help you identify them.
I'll add links to the additional parts in the comments or the description if I run out of room here. If you only want to build Ring 1, I'll include a separate link for that as well!
MY RECOMMENDED BUILD ORDER
RING 1
Step 1: Build the Foundations
Start with the outer foundations, followed by the inner foundations for Ring 1.
I ran into MANY snapping issues when trying to place templates before the foundations were in place. Honestly, save yourself the headache and build the foundations first!
For the triangle foundations, you can either:
Build 21 triangle foundations away from the first regular foundation.
OR build 7 regular foundations from the first triangle foundation.
Alternatively, follow my advice above and complete both the inner and outer foundation rings before placing any templates.
Step 2: TEC Main Building Ring 1
Start with the main building, or begin with TEC Ring 1 Elevator+EleShaft if you prefer. Personally, I found it easiest to start with the main building and work outward from there.
Step 3: TEC Right Hall (Inner Circle Right)
When standing inside Ring 1 and looking toward the main building, place this section on the RIGHT side.
You may need to place an extra row of foundations to help everything snap correctly.
Step 4: TEC Left Hall (Inner Circle Left)
When standing inside Ring 1 and looking toward the main building, place this section on the LEFT side.
As with the right hall, you may need an extra row of foundations to help with snapping.
Step 5: TEC Ring 1 Elevator Entry+EleShaft
This section connects Ring 1 and provides the platforms and bridges leading to Rings 2 and 3.
WARNING: This template REALLY likes to fight you when it comes to snapping.
My best advice:
Starting from the outermost triangle foundation (the outer ring, NOT the inner ring), count six regular foundations away.
On the seventh foundation position, build a row of foundations leading inward toward the ring.
Remove the six foundations behind that row from the outer ring.
Try placing the template again until you find a position that it will cooperate with.
If you're only building Ring 1, you can skip this step for now and use the Ring 1-only entryway in Step 9 instead.
Step 6: TEC Ring 1 Gate Hall Left (Inner Circle Left)
Place this section to the LEFT of where the gate opposite the main building will be.
Step 7: TEC Ring 1 Gate Hall Right (Inner Circle Right)
Place this section to the RIGHT of where the gate opposite the main building will be.
Step 8: TEC Ring 1 Gate Opposite Side of Main
As the name suggests, place this section directly opposite the main building on Ring 1.
Step 9: TEC Ring 1 Large Entryway (Right of TEC Right Hall)
My best advice:
Starting from the outermost triangle foundation (the outer ring, NOT the inner ring), count six regular foundations away.
On the seventh foundation position, build a row of foundations leading inward toward the ring.
Remove the six foundations behind that row from the outer ring.
Try placing the template again until you find a position that it will cooperate with.
Connect The above section(Step 9) to TEC Right Hall (Inner Circle Right).
Important: Steps 3–9 may require additional foundations to help the templates snap into place. If you're having trouble, don't fight with the templates for hours. Go back to Step 1 and make sure your inner and outer foundations are in place first!
You can also “Skip” 6-8 because I do have a gate+hall version that combines the three, its just harder to snap.
Once Ring 1 is complete, you can stop here if that's all you wanted to build. Otherwise, move on to Ring 2.
