Tetraeder Toolset

Tetraeder Creation Toolset These 2 "Tools" are all YOU need to create 70.5° Tetraeder's ANYWHERE! (4 sided "Pyramids" build from ONLY Triangles) - Just build a Triangle at whatever Size you want(up to around ~50,then you reach the max Height limit in ARK) - Use a small Wall (to guarantee snap Direction), glue the 70.5° Flipper to it & build the one Foundation, that has the "Floor" facing outward - Add some Triangle Ceilings to that Foundation & catch the Angle with a (thin)Pillar !!![make sure there is NOTHING above the Pillar on placing & it doesnt touch the Foundation, or you might end up with a "not-Foundation" Pillar]!!! - Add a (thin)Beam to the 70.5° Ceiling to glue the Floor & the Angle together (Pillars placed on the 70.5° Angle will be "invisible" and give you a smooth outer Wall without Bumps!) - Do that for all 3 Sides(or the 6 Corner Sides) and you got a Tetraeder! To add Floors use the "Tetraeder Floor-Creator" (up to 25 Floors Height... was limited by the Hammers reach!) - Choose any Side & add an Foundation "L" (or whatever) you need a "north-turned" Snappoint, so just add a small Pillar Beam to a Foundation & that will give you the "forward/North-turned Snap" ...the more distance you give this, the easier it is for the hammer to actually find the right snap... (see Screen) - Place normal Pillars on the Scaffolding until you reach the desired Height & add a small Wall, that will allow you to place Ceilings "Inside" - Use thin Pillars on the 70.5° Sides as Glue to hold the Floors (i would glue them into the Corners, but up to YOU ofc!) - Remove all Scaffolding Fill/close them however YOU like, just know, since its ONLY Triangle Ceilings, the Numbers add up QUICK! To close the Gap between the Ground and the Floor, you can snap ramps to the 70.5° and use "Triangle-Roof-Corners" to close this perfectly (like its made for This) I have one standing around my Well on Ragnarok for over a year now & its just n0ice, i think! Enjoy building YOUR own 70,5° Tetraeder's!

24 Ribbon Base Barebone

This creates a 24 sided Base-Ribbon from 2 foundations who build everything "clockwise" [2x 12sided circle plates] - remove thatch, THATS ALL u need to do It was Originally designed to be "placed deep" so that the last walls are sunken in and being purely held up by the normal foundations & therefor relies on the connection between the ring & foundations to stay up! That being said, i added pillars on the lowest ceilings end (8 overall), that can keep the loop standing alone (for 99.99%, if placed high enough ofc ... see screen) there are 2 pillars for each "circle side", on the sloped walls, who glue together 6 walls. if you want to skin a pillar or something, feel free to remove some walls to touch a pillar, just keep the "grid" intact! - if you want to "get foundations back" from an empty loop, do what i did: "pull down any of the circles sides to the ground & use my 'foundation flipper' to get them" - ceilings from the foundations will just regognize the 90° walls on the "left&right" as normal & connect with them, wich means they will hold this entire loop! (as long as we keep that connection alife) ... this also means we can replace a 90° wall witha normal one, for a door, or something! |Building examples: - all foundations & ceilings i placed are ONLY SUGGESTIONS! (and support, i guess) we can fill this loop however we like after all - if you want to "stay with it" just use a "24" sided circle or pill-shape inside as floor to make it part of the loop [as the template has] then you can provide extended support for the loop & make your floor tightly fit - another solid option is to just fill "both ends" with a 12er-plate & skin those with glass or water, to have a full closed interior & just use a ceiling-door to replace one of the lowest walls on the ring as entrance (see last screen) [the small "ears" outside cant be helped...but skinned!] PS: Greenhouse Walls will provide 300% i think thats all Enjoy!

new Stargate

The new Stargate This places a vertical 24sided small-Wall Ring with two Tek Cellar Doors "inside it" (-16 offset) to mimic a "true 9 Chevron Stargate" ! It only took me around 11 Month to get this right again & into an easy instant-build Template, after Wildcard made all "inner-Arches" illegal over the last Year... this one just doesnt use inner Arches at all now & works - just place it low enough that the 2 lowest Pillars in the Ring are ontop/above ground (those 2 will build the entire circle for YOU!) you could place it higher, but then the Gate would start to float, wich looks weird tbh - remove all Thatch get rid of the Ramps & the Scaffolding will just peel off ... the 3 small Foundations just force the Pillars for the CellarDoors & Stairs into existence! - finish the Ring by placing the missing lowest side (Wall, 2 Ceilings & a PillarBeam) these are missing, so this can only build itself correctly! - add a small Stair "in the Back" and cover the Ring's "floor" with 6 small Ceilings [see Screen], so no1 can fall into it & get stuck. Now place the missing Stairs & 2 more down the other Side - Fill the outer Rim with small Pillar Beams (cant leave them in, because of the 40-Piece limit...) - the Triangles on the Sides are only there to cover-up the lower Parts of the CellarDoors, replace them if you want to, or find a better cover-up, they are of no consequence for the circle! Thats it! PS: if you really want to, i guess it could be possible to integrate this into a ceiling floor & have it look like the "round Stone Portal" on ceilings ... its a bit tricky, but the foundation in the front & the stairs in the back, could be used to have this "inside a base", but its not designed for it! [the foundation is just positioned below the cellar door,like on all my gates so far, so the ceilings from the stairs are just "half a wall higher" inside the circle] Enjoy an ancient Alteran Marvel of Engineering in YOUR Base!

New Chapel Arch

The New Chapel's Arch This build replicates the "Front Arch" i build for my Chapel at the end of 2025, but they patched it impossible and i never released it, so now i made THIS one for you all! The Gate-Arch, Window-Ring & outer Arch are one Build The CellarDoors & "Wall"Ceiling Plates are offset by -16 "inside" Which makes this 3 "independent" Builds with separate Support! (this could be all fused into one, but it would require a whole pile of offsets & supports, which dont make sense to have really) - Place this like any foundation, or glue it into any 7-9 gap in a wall (leave the central (north turned) Foundation & snap this to it) - Make sure its placed low/high enough that the 8 essential Pillars see Ground (see Screen) , the 4 lower ones should be barely off the ground & the 4 higher ones will be created by the Thatch Foundations, but need to end up "low" enough so they become Foundations! this will also make sure that the Scaffolding "outside" is at the right Height! ...some small Pillars below the Cellar Doors will not auto-build, its "normal", thats why they have 4 - Remove all Thatch (disconnect the Ramps from the "Rings" first, leave the Scaffolding till last, just to be sure) - Fill the Ring & Arches on both sides with small Ceilings (and the 1 wall ontop of the window ring!) - Fill in the front & back "WallCelings" and the Windows - If you want to close/attach the normal Walls, you have to remove the outer small Walls on the big Arch (see Screen) & let the Walls "cut into" the Arches ceilings now replace the Arches small Walls - As with the other Gates, just use Foundations to cut through the Arches "Feet" - Fill the Arch/Ring/Gate with PillarBeams as much as u like & to close evtl Holes! Fully decked-out this Build can end up at around 650 Pieces PS: you could use the Arch itself as "Roof", but it would cost 14 small & 6 normal Walls just to have one Foundation length covered, that adds up quick!^^ Enjoy

48 sided Anywhere Circle

The 48 sided Anywhere Circle This allows us to create a 48 sided Circle ANYWHERE! And i mean anywhere!, any hillside/mountaintop/over canyons/underwater/wherever ... all this requires is around 3 foundations worth of space & any form of temporary support, large enough to let this ~15 diameter ring autobuild itself! - just place a foundation wherever you want this circle [looking in the direction, where you want the circles center] & snap this template to it (just make sure you have the extra space for the 3 thatch foundations/angles next to it) ...welll and the extended/temporary support build for the ring!... - i used 9x11 foundations on the screen, but you can support this however you like ofc! (it doesnt has to be pretty, its just "scaffolding" , as you can see on the "cliffside screen") - now pull down the walls & catch them with pillars or foundations - if you want it to be all one build, you need to add pillars on/or below each wall corner anyways, so all sides will be connected - pick up all thatch & the "dirrty support" you build for the ring - choose any of the four "triangle circles" as floor plate , just build a ceiling (with clean foundation/pillar support) over the entire ring & afterwards build the walls "through" the floor, that way you have a closed outer wall & a legit/standard floor (there are some ceiling corners visible outside, but its the best we can do without "getting fancy") - or just build a square plate of ceilings, i guess... - if you wanna be fancy, use my foundation stacker & lower your floorplate by -16 (so you can stack ceilings) then you can have a fully smooth outer rim/look & hide your floorplates pointy/uglyness inside, under a rim of small ceilings on your rings walls (like i do in my base & how the 48sided House-Template is designed to do) its also the exact same mechanic/stack i build by hand to create the "48 sided Round Ocean Platform Pool" ! [Four 12 sided triangle circle plates & i just place 1 central wall for each side] i honestly got tired of having to rebuild this whole thing, every time i wanted to build on an interesting spot, so i thought "ill do it ONE LAST TIME" & here we are! ...truly hope to see more rounded bases on the arks!... enjoy

Arched Ocean Platform Gate

> Experimental! < This places an flat Arched Gate onto any OceanPlatforms Pool-sides (with 16 heigh offset, so a normal cellar door can just be glued to the platform) - its designed to be glued to any inward(north) facing ceiling! - if you want to place it on "the other sides" , just add a ceiling & small pillar, it will give you the right orientation! (see screenshot) !!! weirdly enough, the platform seem to support this build, even tho its unconnected to the platform itself & only held up by 2 small foundations at the end of the arch!!! i tried it on official & it builds flawless, stays up & is fully supported! ... i have no explanation as to WHY, but it works & stays up, sooo here we are :) PS: this is kinda experimental & if it should crash on you/not work, so be it... i plan to do a "legit supported" version (wich is kinda a pain to archive on this one), but until then this seem to JUST WORK! sooo i guess, enjoy it while you can! ... if you wanna be cool, let me know, if it works, either here in the comments, or in discord!, feedback would be much appreciated on THIS one!

round Stone Portal + slim version

A round Stone Portal ...creative name , i know .... This places most sides of a 24sided small wall triangle circle, sunken into the ground to ...well, look fancy ;) >>> to my dismay i must admit, i didnt test this on official, because its such a simple build, BUT ofc official & its dumb "40 pieces in an area-rule" made this a "broken" template & since the game doesnt allow me to give you a fully done portal, i made a SLIM VERSION without pillars !<<< ...sry.... you can ofc snap this to existing foundations, but to get the best look, id say, place this by hand! & build your wall from there, otherwise you might have "holes & such" visible - to get the best result, place this low enough, so that the horizontal pillar-beams just barely dont touch the ground - if placed lower, some of the lowest walls/ceiling/pillars might not autobuild, but the scaffolding exist, so you will be able to build these "missing" pieces by hand, even if the hammer doesnt (the fully build one on the first screen does not use the lowest sides either btw! but, if wanted/placed high enough, you could) - remove all thatch - add the missing horizontal pillars on the ground & those on the outer small walls (if i leave those, the pillars in the circle are blocked for the hammer) [if you use the SLIM VERSION, you have to add all the pillar beams on the inner & outer rim, because wildcard has issues with more then 40+ pieces in an area...] feel free to choose if you want to have foundations in the pathway or not & you could also fill the circles floor itself with small foundations, by offsetting them with a small pillar by 1/4 (as you can see in the screenshot) hope YOU enjoy it

Arched Double Gate

The Arched Double Gate This Places 2 Cellar door Gates inside the Gate Arch (16 offset"inside" , since we can no longer fill the inner arch with walls (thx wildcard -.- ) just like the other "arched gate", - all you need is a "5 gap" in foundations, just leave a central foundation (turned north-outward) & snap this to it! place it like any foundation! just make sure its low enough, that the small pillars on the ends see ground & everything thatch can be placed - remove all thatch - now the foundations can just "cut through" the outer arch! - to fully close it and make it one with a wall, add some small walls & pillars on the sides, since the distances are not full walls the picture is from the original version, before wildcard decided to make the inner arch walls illegal, but its the same arch... PS: you can always replace the 2 gates on this one! just remove some foundations, so you can touch the pillar beams, holding the gates! enjoy your double gates

Wall Stacker

The Wall Stacker this creates 8 outward facing foundations, offset by 8 & 16, enabling free stacking of walls (by 16) & (re)connection of the offsets(by 8) its basically the wall-version of the foundation/ceiling stacker enjoy

Round 48 sided Ocean Platform Pool

This places a 48 sided Wall-Ring (+16height offset) over any Ocean Platforms Pool - add a [north turned]Ceiling in the "bottom right corner" (leave the corner itself open) and snap this Template to that ceiling - platforms are basically a giant foundation, so when you place one infront of you, its "north turned"! - the 4 extra foundations place a pillar & beam each (offset by 8 height & 8 distance). these interconnect the ring & the platform on all 4 sides! after removing all thatch, feel free to use the circle however you like! its fully supported/connected to the platform after all! PS: the lonely pillar in the center , only exists as "grab point" for the template (ignore it)! enjoy

24 small Vertical Ring Creator

This places a free standing vertical 24 sided small-wall (triangle) Ring i made this around a year ago & used it (or as basis) for every "arched" build i did so far! the underlying mechanic is scalable to any size (even to make the 96 sided circles, all use the same logic) - i recommend to snap this to a "north facing" foundation (same as you just doubleclick one into the world) or it will snap weird&sideways, because of small foundations!..... #arklife - just make sure its placed high enough, that the full ring is above ground & this will build! & then add the lowest missing wall to close the ring ( ! its missing, so this can only build itself the right way ! ) - the 2 foundations give you the option to have the ring either standing flush with the foundation grid, - or "16 offset" infront, so walls & "everything" can be build "overlapping" (any evtl gap between the ring & the wall can be closed by a rim of pillar beams & also makes it look better tbh) now u can remove all the thatch & for example turn it into a gate, by extending the vertical walls down, catch them with a (small) 90°pillar each & then removing the lower half of the ring (thats how i build the gate btw!) the foundation height is the same i used for the gate & stargate & co , its 3 walls(cellar gate) + small ceiling from the rings upper rim what you guys are doing with this is up to YOU ... PS: since this ring only needs the 2 lowest pillars to "see ground" to auto-build itself, its also possible to glue this to an off-angle foundation ofc^^ enjoy

arched Gate

Check Template 2965 , its a post-patch version! --------Wildcard in their infinite wisdom, patched it on aug13, so that the walls on the inner arch cant be placed anymore--------------! .... Stellar job, i must say,this worked for over 1.5 years! ...... the basic mechanic still works!, but cant be closed gap-free anymore now, it seems -.- The simplified Arched Gate all you need is a "5 gap" in foundations, just leave the central foundation (turned north-outward) & snap this to it! place it like any foundation! just make sure its low enough, that the small pillars on the ends see ground! open the gate & place the 2 walls on the outer rim , afterwards remove all thatch & place all the inner arch walls now the foundations can just "cut through" the outer arch! to fully close it, add some small walls & pillars on the sides, since the distances are not full walls the other option would be to remove the outer arch walls, place normal walls on the (gate or) foundations & then close it all again (if you prefer that look or want to fully integrade it into a "house" wall) PS: you can always replace the gate! just make sure the inner & outer walls on the gates corners are removed! (the 2 outside and around 6 on the inside arch should be enough) enjoy your gates
