  • Introducing the Basilosaurus!

    large.Dossier_Basilosaurus.jpg

    Common Name: Basilosaurus
    Species: Basilosaurus Solatiumfecit
    Time: Late Eocene
    Diet: Piscivore
    Temperament: Passive

    Wild

    One of the stranger creatures in the waters surrounding the island is Basilosaurus Solatiumfecit. It’s a powerful swimmer which has adapted to the shallows so remarkably well such that it rapidly recovers from injuries when near the water’s surface. Conversely, it’s vulnerable to deep water pressure, which slowly cause it harm.

    Basilosaurus is usually closely followed around by other predatory creatures, as its eating habits leave a large amount of scraps for other scavengers to consume. It's a gentle creature towards humans, and happily takes food directly from them. However, the creature which trail the ‘Basi’ tend to become dangerously enraged whenever this happens, as it leaves no leftovers for them.

    Domesticated

    Despite the hassle of engaging with its ornery followers, many tribes still attempt to tame the Basilosaurus, as its mammalian warm-blooded circulation provides a rider with perfect comfort from both heat and cold. Alternatively, Basilosaurus is hunted - perhaps too vigorously - for its special blubber, which can be refined into a far more efficient form of gasoline.

    Don't forget that the initial submission period for the mod contest changed and the new date for submissions ending period is the following:

    ·         Submission: April the 1st

    Better hurry Mod makers! ;)

    I am so happy. I only wish that xbox users were able to get the cool events like easter Christmas and thanksgiving updates...

    Eh, we probably will later on. It takes a lot of work to optimize everything for console, and I'm honestly impressed that we get the new creatures as often as the PC users do. We'll get there, just gotta be patient. (I'm super excited for SoTF gameplay, myself!)

    What they really need to do is fix the game.  It's my knewly favorite game but bullpoop to try to play online.  Fix the foundation building around enemies, it is a terrible exploit.  Big tribes have no fear when they take over the whole map like this.  And fix the damn crashing.  I don't even play online because I built a base got on next day then erased from existence.  But oh no it is impossible to damage someone else's.  This was on the Xbox one official server.  Soon as my pc is fix, back to it.

    gas is already efficient.  I wonder if it'll be used to craft anything else in addition.

    Man, as a guy who knows a lot about marine biology, I see the references with this thing.

    Also, that size, comparing it to the guy in the boat, that thing's the same size, if not bigger, than a Mosa. The depth thing is also a great way to nerf the possible power within that beast.

    Since gas is efficient enough already my theory is that tek tier/upcoming items will take lots of gas or consume it fast, the efficiency of gas will be nerfed, or gas will be harder to make

    Oh I agree with you. I only hope that the updates and the eventual events like the holiday events come to xbox at launch. It would be sad if the developers didn't add it in...including sotf

    Meh...We have a ton of generators and auto turrets spread between 4 different bases and never run short on gas.  Once you have a couple of beetles and an industrial forge fuel becomes a non-issue.

    Perhaps it could be a type of gas that you can use in other things.... Like torches and fireplaces. I know there's angler gell, but just thinking outside the box.

    @Jat

    So does this mean the final list of animals have been confirmed? If so, will we expect to see their dossier's once every Monday again?

    Why is that beauty Passive i want it hostile i want a reason to be afraid to step into the shallow water not a reason to go into the water.

    That said im gonna love riding on the back of that beauty and breeding them.

    Excitement for any new creature being added to the Ark :D!!! I am a fan of all the water creatures, just glad I don't have to listen to people screaming for confirmation that the Basi is coming out or that they want it in the game. It was getting old really fast.... That being said, I am really curious if the final additions have been decided, *fingers crossed* hoping we get another feline besides the Saber. Before it is brought up, the Thylacleo is not a feline, it is a marsupial so just basically a carnivorous four-legged Kangaroo that looks feline.

    More efficient gas? Wonder how that would work.

    Maybe we will need more efficient power sources for Tech tier. so a more efficient gas might be really good for the more advance structures since they might guzzle normal gas quicker.

    will we be able to build the canoe on the left?

    It's likely, considering they're adding more modes of transportation via water.

    It should be able to pull boats to make it move faster.

    While the Basilosaurus itself is passive, the unruly mob it picks up is anything but. The "tricky" part here would be keeping the fellow isolated long enough to complete the tame.
