Always a pleasure! Thanks for putting up with my incessant laughing... it just means I'm having a good time! 😃
It was a fun adventure! Thanks so much for coming along!
Thyla’s are cave beasts ! Your coming build style sounds awesome
Thanks, Jen_Zen! They’re the Best in Scorched Earth! There was some foreshadowing about something coming up with her in a future video. I am so looking forward to getting the new build video out! I think it’s the best thing I’ve built in ASA!
33:11 nooooo! Mircoraptors are the worst man 😭
The Worst!!! lol
Hi is the server still on?
It sure is. It's a server cluster with multiple maps going at the same time. If you are interrested in joining, there is a simple vetting process via the ARK n' ART discord. discord.gg/8hdhBcfhzu Be sure to read the rules before starting the vetting process. Thanks again for watching!
very good video !!
Thanks so much!
Better than my scorched earth starts.
lol Wait until you see the next couple episodes. :-) I cut out sooooo many deaths. Darby was falling left and right. Thanks so much for watching! I’ll be back on the Island soon, and we can all get together for a cave run or something!
Man, I appreciate how exhaustive you are with the details. Though I'm tired today while watching, I'm learning a lot and getting excited to turn my "box build" into something a little more lively and aesthetic. I'm getting excited for enjoying my base more thanks to your help. Thank you.
Thanks! I really appreciate your kind words. Let me know if there is anything you'd like me to go over, and be sure to share your builds too!
Awesome build. Glad I found your channel. Subscribed!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
Just found your channel, love your creative take to builds man!
Thanks so much! If you have ideas of what I should build on Scorched Earth, let me know!
Join the ARK n’ ART Discord: discord.gg/8hdhBcfhzu If you want, you can also and contact CrystalDisc to apply to join the ARK n’ ART server cluster! We have a couple spots open!
Great video! You're really good at making tutorials!
Thanks! I love how tight the editing on your videos is!
@@DarbyTopknot thank you man! Believe me, it takes sososo long to edit my videos 😭
LOL - I get it! But it's really worth the efffort!
Love the build and all your videos.
Thank You! I really appreciate the kind words! :-)
Unreal content, this is the first video of yours that I have watched due to it coming up on my recommended and this build is absolutely gorgeous. I try to be as creative with building on ASA but I genuinely struggle to come up with crazy stuff like this. Definitely going to keep up with your content man
Thanks so much for the kind words! I think creating in ARK just comes down to playing around with the pieces we have in front of us. With ASA, there seems to always be a new trick that leads to something cool. I really appreciate the comment! 🦦
i like the natural coloured beams tbh, I think they make a really nice contract. Loved the video and the build Darby
Thanks so much! I agree - they chose a good base color. Thanks also for the kind words about the build. I’ve been loving your “was it real” series!
thats a scary looking trex
No kidding! Why are they so weak, though? Lol
I thought it was a Scorchy Earth thing but it definitely sounds like WC bugged out the thyla - I was starting to enjoy travelling on them because they did jump forward (until a few weeks go). Also your toon is so buff! It's all the lifting of building blocks and paintbrushes isn't it? :D
Thanks for watching! I hope they fix the thyla soon - it hurts everytime he runs over a small rock and screeches to a halt! lol ...and yes - all of the building is apparently good exercise. :-)
I have to agree, I’ve been loving the mini games they’re doing with the new creatures
100% - knockout tames are a challenge sometimes (my next video demonstrates that), but more variety is so much cooler! Thanks for watching!
Nice video dude. I enjoyed this. congrats on the artefact run.
Thanks! The caves on ASA are so much better!
Nice video, they have done a great job with the caves 😊
Thx! Yeah - I think it’s one of the best parts of the update.
You got such a good looking Gigantoraptor those colours are so nice
Thx. It seems like most of them are pretty colorful. It cool that it matches the color scheme, though. 😁
You’re so underrated man! And you’re so close to 100 congrats bro 🎉
Thanks so much! We have something cool planned if we get to 100! 😁
Epic video Darby! I think I'll just stick to terror birds or normal raptors if that is what it takes to get one of those gigantoraptors...
Thx JL! The whole process took about an hour. lol. I think I may have made it harder than it needs to be. 🤣
great video, love the build. 🦕
Thx so much! There’s so much more to build before the village is done. 🤣
Another epic build by Darby! Nice one, now you got to put a boat or two in the dock (like the fully built rafts with all the stuff and things, maybe a cannon or ballista).
Thx! I think I might need to ask ButterMan how to make one of those! lol
Great video!
Thx! Let me know if you have any suggestions for other buildings to add to the village!
What a team! Was so much fun to finally get together brother!
You bet! There are a lot more caves! lol 😂 I saw your vid. So cool to see another view of the cave run.
Epic video Darby! Great to see you and the other Ark n' Art members, you got to collab with them more often! ASA caves seem to be bit more juiced up compared to the old ASE ones.
Thx JL! I hope to do many more collabs. The peeps on ANA are amazing. And, yes! These caves are bathed in HGH! I remember charging through the ASE caves at top speed - not so much on ASA! 😂
Loved the video, keep up the great work, can't wait to see where the village is going.
Thanks! If you have ideas for other builds the village needs, let me know!
Awesome builds Darby! They look great, your tutorials are really helpful. Also I think you need to make the dock soon, that would be a cool one to see now that the town is coming together!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and you taking the time to comment!
Are...are they named RCMP? 😅 I say 30s into the video ...also yes Boomstick has a series of Underdog Boss Battles & one features beavers. I can't recall how they did - smaller tames sometimes can't land their hits but in Dragon fight they get on Dragon's toes & do okay.
Yep - RCMP - The Mounties! lol Thanks for the info - I'm looking forward to seeing how well they do against the brood mother. Thanks so much for watching!
I was hoping they would change the fishing in ASA, ark fishing is rough
lol. I cut out about an hour of fishing. It was so painful! 🤣
Another great one Darby! Ark fishing always has sucked...they should do something about it.
Totally agree!
This army is awesome!
Thanks, Dom! BTW - I borrowed your taming pen for the thyla. :-)
Hehe, Beavers!
Thanks for watching! I’ll try to drop by for one of your streams.
Love the army🩷🩷
Thanks! They’ll be back in another episode soon!
Awesome beaver army Darby!
Thx JL! I can’t wait to do the brood mother with them! 🤣
🐝🐝🐝
We’ll tell little Love you said hi!
I forgot how good a Bary is for underwater shenanigans before a basilo!
The stun attack makes all the difference! 😁
Another great video Darby! Crazy how that bee was right there for the taking
I didn’t know they did that! lol
Love the tavern. Looks amazing. Must be the architect 😂 🦦
He is a very talented otter!
Epic tavern Darby! Looks awesome, Benjamin is a great architect! Also cool rexes, will be helpful for the bosses later on
Thanks, JL! I'll let Benjamin know you said so! Those rexes sure will come in handy... :-)
the industrial cooker is so nice for making boatloads of kibble
It's such a relief! The eggs were really backing up there for a while. lol
Nice new Tape Jar Darby! Looking forward to seeing the tavern!!
Thanks! I think you'll like the next episode - the tavern project kept growing as I built it. :-)
Awesome greenhouse, the different floor heights look real good in there
Thanks! I'm glad they changed the building mechanics in this version! lol
Epic greenhouse Darby! Now make some tranq darts and go after a Yuty!
Thanks - coming up - stay tuned! :-)
fantastic fan art and fantastic video, let's go Darby!
