ARK: Survival Ascended Farm Templates
A farm build is judged on throughput per structure. Crop plot spacing, irrigation routing and how many Gachas you can service from one walkway decide whether a farm is worth its footprint on a server with a structure cap.
These templates place the grid for you, which is the tedious part. Snapping fifty crop plots by hand at consistent spacing takes longer than the rest of the base combined, and one misaligned row costs you the irrigation line.
Gacha setups have their own constraints — pen size, crystal collection paths and keeping the animals from pathing into each other. Read the build notes on each template before scaling one up.
Template pages publish official crafting costs with visible recipe coverage. Modded pieces and files still awaiting an exact breakdown remain clearly uncosted; their requirements are never estimated.
Production templates
Ultimate Gacha Farm
A three-part Gacha farm totalling 2,206 structures: the main production hall, a compact cubby section, and a centre support pillar so the whole thing snaps together on uneven ground. Built in metal and Tek for a PvE tribe running Gachas at scale. Each part imports separately, so you can place the hall first and extend later instead of committing to the full footprint on day one.
Large Farm
A 989-structure agricultural build in stone with extensive crop plot and utility space for sustained PvE production. The crop plots are what shape the footprint: they are spaced so irrigation and access lines do not fight each other, which is the usual failure of a hand-built farm. Requires Bob's Tall Tales.
Automated Medical Brew Farm
A 62-structure medical brew farm sized for volume rather than for fitting in a corner: fourteen Tek troughs feed three industrial cooking pots inside a metal shell. It is laid out so the harvesting tame does not wedge itself on the return path, which is the failure mode that makes hand-built brew farms stop producing overnight. Vanilla, and it needs a berry cart connected to run.
Common questions
Does a farm template include the crop plots themselves?
Yes, crop plots are structures, so they place with the build. What does not transfer is anything in inventory: no seeds, no fertiliser and no water in the pipes.
Do I need to run irrigation separately?
Pipes are structures and place with the template, but they still need a working water source connected at the intake. Check the build notes for where the template expects that connection.
How many Gachas can these setups hold?
It depends on the build — the description and structure counts on each template page state the intended capacity. Server tame limits usually bind before the pen does.
Will a large farm hit the server structure limit?
It can. The biggest farm here is near the 2,000-structure ceiling, so on capped servers place it on its own tile rather than inside an existing base.
