ARK: Survival Ascended FOB Templates
A FOB is not a base you live in. It is a turret box and a bed you can place next to somebody else's base, hold for the length of a raid, and lose without caring. That makes structure count the whole design: anything you cannot place from one Argentavis of materials is the wrong build.
These are the small PvP builds in the library — turret posts, vault blocks and soak boxes. Each one lists its exact piece breakdown, so you can pack the materials before you fly rather than guessing and coming up two ceilings short.
Check the requirements block before wipe day. A FOB that silently needs a mod you do not run places nothing, and the whole point of a template here is that the import is not the part that fails.

Common questions
What makes a good FOB?
Turret coverage per structure and speed of placement. You want the fewest pieces that still hold turrets at useful angles, because you are placing it under fire and expecting to lose it.
How many structures should a FOB be?
Small enough to carry in one trip — most of these sit well under two hundred pieces. Sort by smallest and read the piece breakdown against your carry weight.
Do FOBs work on official servers?
The vanilla ones do. Anything listing mods or official content packs only places if you are running that content, which is why the requirements block on each page is validated against the file itself.
Can I place a FOB inside enemy turret range?
Only outside their tower coverage, and only where the server allows building. Template Hammer places the whole build at once, so the placement preview is where you find out — check it before you commit the materials.
