There's speculation it could affect the development of the game, up to stopping it from being sold. This is not something I'm used to seeing when it comes to game development.
The crawlspace under our castle looks like an insane rats nest of piping so that our cooker and our barrel will be sitting where we want them in the kitchen.
Also it's where I keep my Araneo. Because there are always spiders in the crawlspace under your house.

AH! I should built a crawl space!
Shit..... now I have to demo.
Other options, a wet wall, like in house/apartment construction. A 1-tile wide room just for pipes and wires, running the length of one of your walls.

I wonder if the eggs will be filled with loots like Raptor Claus!

In a way that's good, as I would need to blow off responsibilities to hunt that many eggs.
But on the other hand, damn you for getting my hopes up.

ARK Survivors can now experience the one-week-only "Eggcellent Adventure" Event! During this limited-time event, players can collect special "Bunny Eggs" across the ARK, which they can paint or use in special recipes to craft bunny-themed items such as Bunny Ears, or even a Bunny Costume for the Procoptodon! Though Survivors should beware the ferocious Bunny-Dodorex that will roam the ARK throughout the week!
Patch 237 also introduces the much anticipated challenging new Swamp and Snow Caves, which are heavily-geared towards High Level Survivors, containing high-end loot, advanced artifacts, and more clues towards the mysterious Origins of the ARK!
Be warned though survivors, these caves are no easy feat and keep an eye out for those Yetis!
Goddamit, the Dodorex again.
I wonder if we have the means to kill it now.

Also Mudd, I'm almost done breeding your perfect Ptera line into something lovely, and when it's finished will have a mint base and wings with emerald stripes flyer. I insist you take one, because while your lines stats are great, what's the point of a riding a dino if you can't look good doing it?

So I spent about three hours grappling about 10 bunny dodos and 2 bunny oviraptors of both genders and bringing them home, locking them in a safe area with a natural stone floor so they couldn't fall through anything.
Then I go to the store, come back, and they're all gone. Yay! And while I did have them, they lay about 5 eggs between all of them, out of the 20 you need for the lowest level reward, or the 200 you need for the Roo costume.
So I think the 'Eggcellent Adventure' can go suck eggs.

Hmm, rather than running pipes over from the ocean. I wonder if it'd be better to just setup a series of metal reservoirs and let the rain handle my water needs. I could hook up four or so to the kitchen area for the beer barrel and cooker, and then just one at other locations I need. Then I wouldn't need an elaborate irrigation network.
So, I've been playing this on an off again since the last sale. All single player, mainly because between life and Warframe any persistence would probably mean coming back to see my pets starved or eaten and my beach home destroyed by a rampaging Spinosaur in a PvE only server.
Anyway, I'm level 8, got a small thatch home on the beach and a breeding pair of dodos (named Dodude and Dodette) that I'm hoping will give me a steady stream of eggs that I can eat instead of cooked meat so I can use the raw meat for taming pursuits. Right now I'm just sticking to the beach, harvesting rocks and trees and bushes, killing the occasional dodo or dilo, building up non-perishable supplies until I unlock the engrams to use them. It seems early game solo, the EVE Online mantra (Never go out with anything you can't afford to lose) applies; died once and lost almost everything because my old body was eaten by the dilos that killed me before I could get back to it, now I got enough materials to remake my tools and clothing once I respawn.
Next big step is taming one of those dilos for myself, just need to gather enough raw meat and find one before it spoils. Tried it once, but couldn't find enough nearby dodos and other things I could kill with spears before it ate all the raw meat I had at the time. Still trying to figure out all the options I can adjust on my single player game, might be something I can use to speed up the early game until I can venture into the island without (as much) constant terror.
Heh, in the 20 minutes since I've written that last post, my dodos, my house, and myself were all destroyed by a wild Sarco, so I'm back to square one on just about everything.
Not sure if you can further edit the settings in a singleplayer game but there are numerous console commands you can use to take care of any variety of stuff.
If you are playing totally solo and don't have a lot of dinos yet, I suggest building somewhere with natural defenses. Cliffs, rocks. Stuff that keeps the wild critters from your actual house, hopefully.
Eventually you can move to a more open area once you have dinos to guard stuff.

You can. It gives you the settings page every time you try to start single-player, so you can tweak them as you go.
South west corner of the island is probably the safest place to setup. Far from the swamps and rivers that have spinos.
I ended up resettling in one of the western spawn points (northernmost one) and made a new thatch home on this nice hill that will give me able time to see and run like fucking hell if something should show up (or better yet, lead them towards something even bigger to kill it, like a Bronto)... which might be sooner than I hope, because that's also the spawn point closest to the mountains, and I've already had to fight of a couple of sabertooths and have seen what I believe are nastier things further off. Got a nice little pond nearby that spawns coels (and the occasional piranah) though, so I can fish for meat without having to worry about something bigger in the water showing up.
As for tweaking the "server", doubled XP gain and taming speed so far. Might make myself hardier with some of the player options, and shorten nightime until I get some pets that can protect me during late-night gathering.
Also, Note to Self: do not steal a trike egg unless you are willing to fight the mother, because she will probably chase you across the entire goddamn island if she notices it.
Thatch makes for good planning material, to make sure you have the structure down. Or as a scaffold.

Making a 1 foundation thatch room to store early shit, and surrounding that with a ring of 1 foundation around that (9x9 total) can work to give you a place to respawn and plop down a box, and nothing small will try to get you.

My experience is outdated, but probably at least still partially relevant.
In the early game when your defenses are only strong as wishful thinking, build two shelters. One shelter is where you sleep and the other is purely item storage.
The big dinos generally don't care about breaking and entering if there aren't any tasty morsels inside to attract their attention, so pure storage should be safe from destruction via collateral damage.
Back when I still played, dinos wouldn't try to attack structures unless they were actively trying to kill something beyond that structure. I don't know if that is still true. So a sufficiently large perimeter wall of thatch would prevent mobs from randomly wandering next to your house, and if your perimeter was large enough then they wouldn't be able to get close enough to notice you.
It's not a GOOD defense by any means, but it was better than nothing and placing thatch walls gave me a good bit of XP back then. It's something that you can throw up easily by hand at a low level, while assembling wooden or stone perimeters is much harder without the assistance of specialized dinos to harvest materials and do the heavy lifting for you.
Current Version: v237.1
* Tripled Easter Egg drop rate
* Prevented building in front of new caves on PvE
* Made Flyers able to go into caves by default on custom maps, and also you can force Flyer into caves via server commandline "-ForceAllowCaveFlyers"
* Fixed spectator crash
* Improved new cave lighting
* Fixed new cave entrance holes on Mac/Linux
* Summoned DodoRex is now autotamed and doesn't run forward forever

Speaking of dinos - which is the first one to tame? Are turtles any good at gathering or just pack mules?
Turtles are mainly for defense, and they have a huge possible HP pool, even early on. They aren't going to easily survive, say, a swarm of dinos all at once, but I've seen a pack of 2-3 wild turtles easily defend themselves against raptors and carnos with no or minimal casualties.
Dodos, Dilos, Penguins, Turtles, Paras, and maybe something I'm forgetting are all not really harvesters. Trikes are usually the first harvesters folks get for berries and possibly slightly more thatch than a stone pick. Raptors or even carnos can be good meat gatherers, though by one's self, raptors are the more likely tame.
