I have put together a guide on how to survive the Ark, in this guide i will be giving some tips and tricks about how to survive, build, kill, and try not to get killed. After a lot of research on the game and experience ive noticed people have a huge problem being raided most likely because your in someones so called "TERRITORY" i build near the watering hole to later discover their was someone living their who was more than op. I managed to get 5 dilos 2 raptors 1 trike and 1 perasaure collected many resources and lived inside a deep forest to then get on and see i was killed by a lv.200 trex and then find out he leveled my base to nothing. This was very upsetting considering the patch that came out last Friday erased all of my progress in every server ive been in including my levels. So that is why i want to create this guide to make any people new to the game "or want some extra tips" be able to survive better in this horrible environment.

First things first you have no neighbors what i mean by that is you cant trust anyone in ark especially your neighbors as soon as they have the materials to raid you "if they already haven't" they WILL. When entering the game the best thing you can do is gather a bunch of resources and build a thatch base in a very hidden area near nobody immediately start rushing to lv.10 by hunting and gathering lots of fiber wood and thatch. Once you have a lot of resources and are lv.10 get wooden foundation and spikes right away if your not comfortable with where you live now MOVE dont risk getting everything taking from you in early game it sucks...bad. Once you have a well built defended base "with spikes around it" make a chest and hide it somewhere to where you'll be able to find it but no one else can put things like hide or even extra meat in it, just in case you are found you'll still have some valuable things. I usually make my base 2x2 with a lot of doors in it so that it would take a lot of time for them to break all the doors to get to your bed and or sleeping bag.

As you advance more and extend your base DO NOT remove natural camo eg. rocks/trees around your base bad idea people on birds will see you trust me i know. By now you should be almost lv.15 or so now is the time to tame something, now everyone has a different opinion but i normally tame a perasaure as a berry gatherer "until you get a trike" so that you can get mejos and narcos to tame herbivores easier and faster. QUICK TIP:when taming make sure to starve the dino out as much as possible but dont let it wake up. My first preferred carno to tame would be a raptor, because come on their everywhere and they can be used as either fast transport or a good first hunter. By now your may be one of two people an "anti-social ill kill you if you even look at me" or "i could really use a tribe". Tribes are good bonus exp.
