WHAT IS THE BEST BASE BUILDING GAME? RAFT+ ASTRONEER (fixed an audio issue from a previous upload, enjoy!!!)
Now correct the Valhiem spelling error. 😂, just kidding.
I eat up list videos like this, Thanks for giving it a try! You did really well! I like having the segments on the playback bar so I can skip a game I know everything about already. If you could do that in the future I think that would be a cool feature. If not, no worries. Love your work, thank you.
Not sure if it fits into what you're looking for, but Going Medieval is a favourite of mine, along with Foundation and Surviving the Aftermath.
Can't believe you never played Rimworld. What other game lets you eat babies? I'm not condoning eating babies... but I like options!
Terraria?
I didnt see anyone mention Icarus. The base building and items you can craft is insane. The Forrest, Valheim, and Stranded Deep are on my top list.
Probably not something most would agree with, but I would put ARK and Conan in this list too. While not solely base building games, per se, they are survival building games with lots of depth. My two cents.
The reason ark isn’t on the list is because every time you place something down your game lags and you fall through the floor and your computer fucking explodes
@Matthew V me too, think his system just sucks and he one of them bobs who always cry it's lagging it's 255 ping yet it's just bobs leveling up 😂
@@conorpearson4597 lol my game runs just about every other game fine. Get a fuckin job idiot 💀
@Matthew V I was exaggerating a bit but the game was just not well optimized. Many framerate issues and sometimes it would just crash. But my computer is fine
@@vik8596 Incorrect. Largest based ever built outside of Minecraft are in Ark. Including underwater. Honestly ark is probably the most in depth base building in existence. Add multiplayer raids to that and Ark is truly amazing.
Love the Top 10. Mine is pretty much the same as yours a couple different: adding incase someone is looking for something to try. In no particular order my favs are: Stranded Deep, The Forest, Sons of the Forest, 7 Days to Die, Medieval Dynasty, Planet Crafter, Subnautica, Subnautica Below Zero, Raft, Green Hell.
Great list! Thank you for sharing. Some others for readers: 1st person: Minecraft (not on Steam), Space Engineers, No Man's Sky, Raft Top Down: Dwarf Fortress, Going Medieval, Songs of Syx, War for the Overworld
Some other good base building/survival games: - Conan Exiles -> Extremely good base building (with a enormous variety of buildingpieces) and a lot of fun, using thralls to bring your base to life - Raft -> really nice raftbuilding survival, a loooot of building options and decorations - Grounded -> a good amount of building pieces and it makes really fun to explore the garden :) - ARK Survival Evolved -> one of my most loved games (over 4000 hours playtime)
have yet to play a better base building/survival PVP better than Conan Exiles.
i live grounded
Great list! I love a small solo dev game like subsistence getting some recognition. I will shout The Infected as the building is incredible and the pregame options you get are awesome for creating the game you want to play.
When I think of base building, I think of ARK Survival Evolved and No Man's Sky. ARK has some great building mods like Castles, Forts & Keeps. No Man's Sky allows you to build bases on planets and you even get your own freighter to deck out as your mobile space base.
Great list. I would put medieval dynasty in my list for being a cross between city builder / survival because It almost felt like having a first person survival view of banished.
Do you know of any other games similar to Medieval Dynasty that are not too hard core with the killing?
Great list! I would have added oxygen not included, especially given the sandbox aspect to it. The amount of things you have to keep track of just to keep your duplicants alive and happy really sucks you in for hours of gameplay with high replay value as you explore more challenges. Plus the art style is really cute.
Nothing better than DayZ with mods. Every server is different, it's awesome!
I love this "top ten" from you Raptor. It felt so you and I love how you added in your own passion and love of gaming and playing these games even adding some of your "dad" humor in. 👌Since this is your first "top ten" (and a strong one at that). I can't wait to see all the other ones you do going forward. 23 minutes well spent, dude. Thanks.
Grounded, & Empyrion - Galactic Survival two fave's of mine.
In my top 10 base builder games, I definitely have Ark: Survival Evolved for all the base building possibilities plus the background it has. A classic, at this point. But I agree with almost all the titles you bring to light.
Very bad graphic. Delete it after 1 hour .
finally... thank you raptor... a list of games that are chill... im getting tired of people obsessing over battle type games and a new mmo every 3 months
Serious Question, why is Conan Exiles never mentioned in these Lists ? I think it’s by far one of the best OWSBBG Esp compared to half this list. (No offense) it has PVP, PVE, even PVE-C, plenty of updates and DLC content. 1000’s of Weapons and plenty of lure Just wondering why it goes so unnoticed on the gamers radar. 🤔 someone please fill me in …
It was the exact question I wanted to ask after that vidéo. I played a lot of survival games. And I always come back to Conan.
Maybe because if you buy the entire game, dlc included it's pretty expensive, like 150.00
Conan has amazing building, probably one of the best game for base building. Yes it can be expensive with all the dlcs but geez they are selling games 70$ that don't even have building in them!!!
I made a crazy build in this game.. saved and reloaded no problem. Went to another area somewhat close by, me and my buddy started building an Asian inspired build, came on the next day and it had disappeared but not the original build I made. So I started rebuilding.. came off for the night, loaded back up and it was gone.. apart from that one issue, the vuilding is super fun, the packs have some really cool designs and I agree it should have been on this list for sure 🤞
Conan exiles end game is kinda meh even with AoC and such, once you get there all there is to do really is build and one of the bigger issues is optimisation, shit still takes years to load in a small castle etc let alone anything massive, yeah it can be done but you will run around your own base with like 30fps or less with huge builds, Conan has got better over the years but these issues are still here. Seeing as this video is about base building then i would say that alone should put conan in the list. I have 4000 hour in conan i have some knowledge :)
Raptor, this is a useful format, but what would make it even more useful in the "real world" is having a super-short list of pros and cons about a particular game (the strong and the weak aspects of it). That would give a better idea for a viewer about whether the game is for him/her. Otherwise the game mention becomes more of an ad, rather than an actual advice from someone who has played it (which is much more useful).
good point just needs a bit more work put in the video
1_Icarus, 2_Green Hell, 3_Subsistence,4_Stranded Deep, 5_The Forest, 6_Medieval Dynasty ,7_Ark, 8_Mist Survival, 9_escape the pacific, 10_The Infected. Now that's a proper line-up XD
Good list!
Raptor doing Top Tens? YES PLEASE Edit: YAY Project Zomboid!
Dwarf Fortress for Pros not as much for newbies but the steam version helps it a lot.
Great first top ten sir! Good job branching out and trying something new. Thanks for the awesome content as ALWAYS! Wish I could sub again!
A builder game without monsters or zombies would be nice, just plain old PVE thank you very much.
My favorites are Valhiem and Medieval Dynasty, but will try The Forest next.
oh you definitely will not be disappointed 😁
I would like to add to this list: Ark: Survival Evolved Conan Exiles Icarus Especially in Ark and Conan you have soo many options, in Conan exiles via DLC and mods, all different building styles and in Ark also via mods...
I would mention here Conan Exiles and Grounded too, They are both great when it's about base building and crafting.
Green Hell got me into the genre. Been a good way to teach my kid about the importance of paying attention to the things around you too. Would love to see them do other games in other biomes or settings. I still find myself taking a break from other games i love just to do base building and survival.
- Stranded Deep is such a great game to come home to after a hard day at work. It's just so nice and relaxing! - Green Hell is also a fantastic game, and I'm currently playing through SoA with a friend. - I tried as hard as I could to enjoy Valheim, but I really just couldn't get into it. - Played a bit of The Forest, and I enjoyed it, but never completed it. Looking forward to the sequel though. - Subnautica was another good game, but another one I couldn't get into as much as I should have. - Project Zomboid - another one I enjoyed playing briefly, but other games got in the way. - Subsistence - haven't tried that one. - Rimworld is so much fun! It's incredibly difficult to get into initially, but once you know what you're doing, the stories that come out of it are brilliant! Probably one of my favourite games I've played in recent years. - Haven't played any of the last two on the list, but I do want to give Foundation a try. A couple I'd add to the list would be Icarus and Medieval Dynasty - I see others have already beaten me to those in the comments, but they are two I really enjoyed.
Maybe I was playing Stranded Deep wrong, but I couldn't stand it. It seemed so slow going... Played for a couple days and moved on.
@@randystache78 Fair enough. It's not for everyone.
Rust should also be on this list, even though your base wipes without choice it's still one of the best base building games. PvE servers offer the ability to really build some wild stuff too.
Grounded is for sure in my Top 3 in Terms of Base-Building.
How about some space games with crafting and trade like Astrox Imperium?
Stranded Deep was my favourite. The setting was beautiful and chill. Shame the devs left it the way they did as had so much more going for it.
Agreed. I started playing this at the beginning of early access for PC. Was going ok until they switched their focus to consoles, and left PC in the dust.
its not on ios
Conan Exiles is phenomenal. Base building is insane and with all the different mods you can pretty much do anything.
The updated base building mechanics is awesome. Though have to say the game does suffer from grind and having too many crafting stations
Totally agree, Conan Exiles is insane
I really actually love green hell, have about 200+ hours in it. but ive always kinda felt its base building is quite simple and difficult to really do anything other than anything than a little cube home. to choose that and not have ark or conan in this list is crazy. yeah ark and conan have their issues, but their base building is really good ( compared to green hell and stranded deep. i really enjoy both of these) but thats crazy
Well done! This was a pleasant and enjoyable shift in your normal format. I have been subscribed for some time, and while I enjoy your other content formats this was a welcome addition to your library. I look forward to future content following the same format.
I want to try to get into RimWorld but I tried it once and immediately hated the limitations. You have to pick characters that have certain skills while lacking in almost everything else. I immediately felt the desire for well rounded characters and modded the game so that I could get them. Then I dropped off bc I didn’t have the energy for the learning curve. I’ll revisit some day
Same experience for me
I like most Medieval Dynasty (which is not on this video, surprisingly) and Valheim, but all are good.
If all you want to do is creative building, there is no better title than Rising world.
Love the video bro. Great start! Keep up the good work.
if only valheim doesnt have the desync problem because of their netcode it would be the best atm, but once you have more than 5+ players on a server, it goes to nuts
Subnautica is beautiful and awesome. But it's scary as hell 😂
I can't believe 7 days to die didn't make this list!
for a beginner that is just starting survival games I would recommend either rust because thiers helpful players (sometimes) or among trees for a peaceful survival experience
In rust u need to be online 24/7 or u will be raided
7 days to die is still one of the best in my opinion.
i spent like 2 days on it and concluded that i hated it... what am i doing wrong? i feel like the map is too big to do what it asks of me and the survival aspect is too tedious...
like i reeeeeeally wanted to like that game, i LOVED The Forest (still playing it), Starsand is pretty good, and Subnautica was phenominal
@@83KJack if you don't know what you are doing it can suck. Check out glock9 or gunsnerdsandsteel on KZhead for some better ideas on gameplay. I'm also game to play a bit with you if you wanted help getting to know the game. It's a ton to take in if you are new.
what abot 7 days to die.... the last update brought lots more to building
Astroneer is pretty good. So is Grounded, No Man's Sky and My Time at Portia.
Thank you for sharing this video. Unfortunately most didn’t show up in my PSN search as this is for pc I’m guessing? Funny when you specifically type in PS4/PS5 games only and nothing shows lol 😂 thank you anyway
My favorites for building a base are Stardew Valley, 7 Days to Die, Fallout 4 and Raft (EDIT: also Rust)
I will never understand how people like games like project zomboid. Clicking to move turns my brain to mush.
Universim and Oxygen not included are 2 great base builders
Enshrouded is definitely the best now
Some of my favourites, that I think you should check out. Most are Indie games. Animallica, Ark Survival Evolved, Conan Exiles, Core Keeper, Cryofall, Dawn of Man, Deadcraft, Deadly Flare, both of the Don't Starve games, Dysmantle, Force of Nature 1 and 2, Frostpunk, Green Project, The Infected, Junkpunk. There are many, many more. As you can see, i only got up to the J's in my Survival/Crafting games folder lol
Now i need the rest of your list...lol...k-Z
@@MindvsMe lol, if you really want it, I can list it for you
@@danag6756 I would love to see the rest of your list! I am compiling a list of games to check out!
@@wild_child677 @MindvsMe Some of my irl friends wanted my list of survival games too, so I made a google doc for them. Here it is, if you want to check it out docs.google.com/document/d/1SnktYdn9kWqp9tNoBH-ungpNpQu2w_W7dcK7uMIXem8/edit?usp=sharing
@@MindvsMe See comment above. Sorry for the long wait.
I thought the first subnautica was better than the sequal. Indeed the story was better. But I missed the usefulness of farming in part 2. And also the progression to reach larger depths was way better in the first.
I would say the top base builders you missed were: Empyrion Galactic Survival 7 Days to Die Raft Conan Exiles
we need a 3rd person rts base builder kind of like bannerlord but with more base building and rts. sort of so i can be king of my city builder with my armys.
i thought the name of the game Planetary Annihilation Titans sounded familiar. I looked it up on steam and it turns out i have owned the game for over 4 years and had never even istalled it yet. Thats what happens when you have a gaming addiction.
Valheim is the most impressive if you play the Roleplaying server. Adds a lot more features (mods) and adds an eco system that encourages trade and community towns. Incredible experiences. I usually get paid by others (in-game gold or trade) for interior design, farming, mercenary work, or delivering goods with your boat. You can trade more with a bigger boat of course. They also have ways to prevent people from greifing your builds to prevent loss of items and stuff. Joining a village makes it more immersive and it always has active players on 24/7. Sometimes up to 100 players on the server all working together (or fighting eachother). So much to do tbh, and every season on the RP server is different. Requiring people to have a background and roleplay their unique character helps with immersion. Every player picks different roles before joining (smithing, farming, cooking, fletchery, etc.....) Not to forget, they have proximity voice chat!
Wow interesting list but I like valheim, Conan exiles and space engineers best
Shame you couldn't get recent video of Project Zomboid, the animation update makes the graphics and gameplay so much better. You also didn't mention the amazing mod support it has.
The infected and Against the storm.
Against the Storm is excellent
Satisfactory should be top of this list as should No mans sky.
Have a look at Rising World too.
Idk if it's in the list yet. But my favorite building type of game is Last Island Of Survival. Games awesome besides all the hackers lol.
ark survivor evolved best building especially in single player mod
Ark: Survival Evolved, Empyrion, Galactic Survival and Conan Exiles are conspicuous in their absence. I'd put these ahead of at least half of the titles on this list.
I am surprised that you did not mention Minecraft, No Man's Sky and Fallout 4.
😲 No Grounded..? My Lily Pad Mushroom Brick, 5 Story Castle With its Central Web Elevator and Pond Spanning Mushroom Brick Suspension Bridge is a Build I may very well enter into the aforementioned competition.. I only play for the building aspect. Loads of new stuff was added. Definitely worthy of a mention.. Grounded that is.. Not my base. LOL Cheers TTFN
Add list of games to description.
This guy could probably do a great jeff goldblum impression
If you play Rimworld, you may never be able to quit.
In subnautica are you the only person that can live in your base? Are there other npcs that can be with you or are you all alone?
My favorite would be Grounded, sadly it's not in this list.
LONG LIVE THE WYVERN KING Thick 44
Only person I truly trust to give me good city building games
Dawn of Man. Diplomacy is Not an Option. Is "The Last Spell" a base building game? It's certainly a base defence game. Very, very, very good game.
Seeing Planetary Annihalation in this list is kind of a surprise. This is an RTS and not actual base building. But nice list anyway 🙂
Great games, how long does it take to try them all? Oh, it's a pity there are not 60 hours in a day (. In addition to any reviews, I'm still looking for games on Steam, and purely by chance I stumbled upon Primal Menace, I was very interested, but there is not much information about this game, has anyone heard anything about it?
I searched for a long time but didn't find anything about this game other than a video on Steam. let me know if you find anything about her.
@@Eleonora_16p ha i thought i was the only one in this world looking for this game
No 7 days to die wow
Oxygen not included?
The comment's odd without context.
Lol this is so meta, clever
People who don’t know the game: 👁️ 👄 👁️
it's really hard for me to find a game comparable to valheim, i already tried stranded deep and ark
Can you recruit npc in valheim like conan exiles?
subsistence is one of the most hated games on steam =x
"ja guire"...🤣
No mention of Rust lol? I know it's far more difficult and cut throat, but it's really the ultimate base-building game.
Is there a game like The Forest,but instead of cannibals you have to fight off animals instead?
an update to the forest came out called sons of the forest bassically the upgraded and better version off teh forest
Stranded alien dawn and No man s sky too
I love Subsistence but the graphics are terrible and I wish it had controller compatibility. I only play single player though
What about 7 days to die?
How about free games? with high quality?
Green Hill is extremely buggy me and my nephew literally got halfway through the story and the game stopped saving and then crashed and we went back into our save it was corrupted we are under the map never played that game again😊
which game can you turn off combat and doesn't involve religion? Looking for a new base building game. Love your videos :)
Just fyi, stranded deep multiplayer is buggy. Hopefully an update will fix some of those issues. Same with green hell.
Those building games on mobile should come to console like family guy game
I played Subnautica and enjoyed it thoroughly but I didn't see the point of building some underwater city when you're there to escape , not live out your life... when the first opportunity came to get the hell out of there I was gone. Same thing with Stranded Deep,,,in this latter case, it makes absolutely no sense to bust your butt trying to build some elaborate base, when no matter how comfortable your character has it on the island, the minute you board that single engine plane to leave, your fate is sealed. Been gaming since the industry started in the 70s,,,one thing that I've realized is that the only reason to ever start a game is to finish it and move on to the next. I appreciate the desire to indulge one's creativeness in games like these, but, ultimately, they become an obsessive time sink...for me, settlement building in Fallout 4 was my guilty pleasure...there is always another great game out there waiting to be played, but you never get to them with this approach. Even today, I've got games that I've had for years that I paid full price for and still haven't cracked the plastic,,,so many titles, so little time!!!
7 days to die. Can't wait for the console to have the newest update!!
I agree with a lot of the mentions, but imo Subsistence is not worth mentioning. On paper it sounds interesting, but the gameplay is extremely grindy and bland. Also do play Rimworld!
While I love Foundation, I do not think it really qualifies as a base builder. Still a great game though.
plz someone enlighten me, what do the valheim bosses share with the shadow of colossus bosses? I see zero similarities except they are bossmonster(even tho i wouldnt call the soc giants a monster, they didnt do anything wrong)
I was wondering the same. They aren't nearly as big and combat isn't similar at all. Who knows why he thinks they are similar lol.
@Raptor Check Out No One Survived Awesome Building
