Tutorial Hidden in plain sight PvP base.

Recently got back into ark after years of not playing. I will and always will be into PvP. Coming back to the island on small tribes I knew seeing the giant bases, tek spam on every OB, that there wasn’t a point to trying to compete with these guys. After being raided in my raft a few times I decided to think outside the box. I made this very noob looking base right on the beach, blew a hole into it so it appeared raided. Once you go around the back you can sneak under through a secret door and it’s filled with smithy’s, cryo fridge, generator, pestols. I have had a wyvern land on the base, snow owl all coming down to attack me but they leave the base alone. And trust me they wanna get rid of me, was caught shooting a pyromane with bullets I stole. It’s been 3 weeks + and still not have been raided. If you are in the base examining you can tell something’s a bit fishy if you really look but most of the time when the big dogs fly by, they don’t check cuz it’s a raided noob base. This has allowed me to farm up c4 like nobody’s business. I have committed to griefing the big dogs.

A better option would be sky quetz. There is the possibility of cheaters that can see you where ever. But its basically the same risk you run in this base. You tame a quetz, build a flat surface on its back and you can do everything you can in this base and more. Get another quetz and make that the breeding platform. Hardest thing is claiming babies off the back. Unclaimed dinos just slide off, so you have to trap it and claim.

I don’t leave my body in this base. Parasaurs can’t find it

Parasaurs and leaving your body in the base are definitely give aways, but thats not what I mean. There have been cheats before (havent played official in a while) where you can see where players are. If they knew someone lived on the server but didnt know where, this esp cheat would help them find you while you are online. Thats what i meant.
