Our storage capacity in the actual base building is a bit limited at the moment. Might see if I can make a ring of vaults with a smithy and fab in the middle, where you can access vaults and crafting without having to move. When you’ve gathered everything you need, it’s time to start building your base.
Building Materials
I want to build an ultimate base in single player, but I don't want to build things and then later say "ah shit, I should have built X next to Y." I've not played around with the keypad thing yet but I gather that can open multiple doors at once which may help a little. Deploy the smaller dangerous dinos in the center, like guard dogs. If the enemy gets to the center, your watchdogs can do their job. The center should be tighter confines anyway, which is where these critters should shine (assuming their pathing doesn't suck).
Tree House
Unfortunately, tall buildings are a safety risk, if the enemy can destroy the supporting structures. Obviously, metal is mostly impervious, but it's just a matter of time before something comes out to defeat metal. So if an angry rex comes along and sticks his head through the wall all he sees is a void and another wall. I like using double doors like this (see vid below) for a bit of extra safety in PvE. When you have single doors there is always that risk that you might sleepily head out the front gate without looking outside first and an Alpha could be stood right outside and charge into your base and cause havoc.

The earliest available building Engrams come from the Thatch tier of structures, with the Thatch Foundation and Doorframe unlocking at Level 2, and the Thatch Door, Walls and Ceiling unlocking at Level 3. For more Ark Survival Evolved advice, check out our beginner's tips, island guide, resource, recipe, and crafting guide, and Ark taming guide. I also recommend GG Fizz; his designs are less practical, but he teaches a lot of great building techniques and it's easy to draw inspiration from them. You should be able to get everything listed here through average foraging and some light mining. You’ll also need to have spent the Engram Points to unlock the stone crafting supplies.
Ark: Survival Evolved Best Tiny Starter Base Design Guide For Beginners
At our mining base, the furnance is behind a dino door with a landing pad, so it is easy to load/unload the furnace from/to a Queztal. Keep the big dinos away from the "center" where the important stuff is. If you have a bronto sleeping next to your house, when somebody makes it cranky in an attack, it's going to hurt your stuff as much as it hurts the enemy. We're not talking stone/metal stuff, we're talking tables, chairs, ornamental stuff you made with wood because you were tired of all metal construction lameness. Also, at all of my bases I have done, I put an industrial cooker, and a box of gas, on the outside. That way, I can ride/land an animal with Prime right at the cooker, grab a can of gas, light it, and then move the the prime 12 at a time from the animal to the cooker. Once I get a good cadence down, I usually can do a Transfer All, then a second or two later, take off the 12 cooked prime, and while the next 12 are cooking, repeat the process.

Our ones have been tested with Raptors and Carnos just fine. The double door system helps you avoid that (even if a dino does run into the airlock, it'll be trapped in there for you to kill), and it also doubles up as a taming pen. You can bird-drop dinos in there to tame, and even easily kite bigger dinos into it such as Rexes (we've already done this a few times with the design below). Of course, the other major function your base serves is as a paddock/hatchery/amazing zoo for all the creatures that you’ve tamed.

Forest Titan Treehouse Mansion
Regardless of the material you’re using, you’ll always want to lay down a foundation first. You can snap up to four wall pieces to each foundation (or three walls, a doorframe and a door, if you prefer), and a roof piece then rests on your walls. Roof pieces will function as floors if you decide to build further levels above, and these in turn will support more walls. Thatch roofs are the exception here, however, and won’t support a second story.
If I'm not inspired by where my base is, my builds always come out dull and lifeless, no character to them at all. I usually try to incorporate the environment into my designs; for example the last time I built on Cragg's Island on The Island, my base design was very open and mainly wood and thatch, had a dock, etc. My current build up by carno point is mostly stone with some wood and glass. My main base build that I did ages ago was entirely metal, but that was before Tek tier and I plan to recreate the design in Tek someday. With your tiny insulated cube in place, you’ve successfully created your first base. However, it probably isn’t very secure; before doing anything else, ensure that all doors leading into your home are locked or pinned to stop intruders from simply waltzing on in.
Making enough space for moving big animals through (and turning around), parking all the animals. As well as whether to put buildings/functions closer together. Having the warehousing near the crafting helps, given that's the point of getting supplies.
To fertilise a Crop Plot, meanwhile, you can place collected feces inside - human feces will last around 10 minutes, while Large Animal Feces can fertilise your crops for around two and a half hours. It’s better, however, to use Fertiliser, which is created by leaving any three Feces and 50 Thatch in a Compost Bin for around 50 minutes. If you’re struggling to find a regular supply of Feces, you can force-feed Stimberries to a tamed Phiomia, making it poop dramatically. Additionally, you should attempt to establish your starter base close to a source of water, such as a river or stream.
Later, however, you can add variously-sized gateway and gate pieces to your perimeter fence, enabling you to move larger creatures in and out of your compound. The first of these - the Dinosaur Gate and Dinosaur Gateway - unlocks at Level 15. Due to the game’s currently wonky collision detection, most predators can attack through walls. As such, don’t assume that leaving your body in your hut will be enough to protect you from outside forces whenever you log off. To be truly safe, you’ll want to consider building a perimeter fence around your base.
Rainfall will water Crop Plots, or you can water them manually using a Waterskin, Water Jar or Canteen. If you plan to do a lot of farming, however, you might want to set up a permanent irrigation system using pipes that draw water from the ocean, river or a man-made Water Tank; pipes will turn blue if they are correctly drawing water. On page two, how to defend your base from attack, furnish your base with useful items, and how to farm food. Incidentally, if you ever want to flip an item that you’re trying to place, simply press “E”.
He then used Wood Ceilings as the floor and used Wood Walls and Windows, but he put the outside in for a better look. The rest is pretty self-explanatory with a Wooden Roof and Wooden Rails to make the exterior walkways. If on official or unofficial you'll want an enclosed hatchery, if you're on single player or not worried about eggs being jacked an outdoor hatchery gives you a lot more room.
