ARK: Survival Evolved - Advanced Building; Tips and Tricks

In this first episode of a probable series, I use one of the big builds I'm working on to share a few techniques I've learned for building in ARK. Today this includes:

How to extend ceilings more than two spaces beyond a pillar, wall, or foundations

How to lay ceilings on pillars without the pillars poking through

Using different view modes to precisely position objects

Using a mammoth and doedicurus efficiently to gather resources for building in stone and strategies for dealing with being overburdened

This season, most of my recorded game play is via Twitch.
To catch me streaming ARK you should probably either follow me at   / monkey_puzzle

I'm still on the IronMine server which is more active and populated than ever by cool survivors:
