Small tribes the center xbox one

Did our first flak run using beer through turrets and spiked walls into a metal base. Got inside, broken chest and leggings and a sliver of health remaining. Lots of bags on the floor and a vault in the corner. The vault was not pin locked. Not the best gear inside but a fair amount of goodies, silica pearls and electronics.

Unfortunately while I was head down in his vault it only took one or two pike shots to finish me off. Tried to get back in armed with bolas to grab what I could but turrets kept mowing me down. 

Congratulated the guy for defending and flew back to base naked. Good times.

Abberation Eu Official

Lonely productive night, spent most of the night as the only person on the server, no problem, I enjoy my solitude,  especially in Aberration.

Most of my time was spent in the kitchen, where I planned to make copious amounts of sweet veg cake, I say planned because I totally forgot about the sap I would be needing. I've been on this server roughly about 3 weeks, in this time I haven't seen my neighbours yet but I have noticed their sap taps, they have built some kind of ladder to reach the tap, however my crab has become quite adept and jumping and landing exactly on the tap,  im sure they wont mind me helping myself, will save me a bit of CP anyway ;) and Ill make sure to return it or offer them some cake if they do happen to log In.

Now Giant Bee Honey, im not sure if its a bug or new mechanic but I can seemingly take unlimited amounts of honey from wild hives, I can almost smell the cake cooking in the distance :)

Cakes complete and snails fed, but I notice snails don't produce as much polymer as they used too, I wonder if they have been nerfed or is it they just don't like my cooking.

 

Mundane tasks complete, time for a bit of excitement, off down to the blue, I come back with a couple of new additions to the family, A new Anky (pittytame) and a 3rd beetle to up the production a little (BeetleJuice)

 

I think tonights new addition will be a spino, there has been a 145 scoping my base, I will have enough Narcs tonight, wish me luck!!

Last night only got on for an hour or two. Been needing Megatherium for Brood soon so I hopped over to Rag and went Mega hunting.

I went all over the ice mountains, through psudo-redwoods and didnt see a single one! I usually have to refrain myself cause I see so many. Dropped down to get a Raptorclaus drop and right beside me, 140 green megatherium female. Got it tamed up and it popped with decent hp and melee (5.6k 349 respectivley)

 

Went out looking again, searched for 45 mins or so, found a female Roo, knocked that out for the island.. double imprints here we come! Finally stumbled across a Megatherium.. 140 male! The only two I saw that day.. both 140 mate boosted. Gotta love Rag sometimes ;) 

 

Uploaded them then went to bed. Another days' project to combine stats and hopefully work out the ugly green!

Xbox - Unofficial Nitrado Server - The Island 

After the disaster a few nights ago, tonight was spent breeding and regearing. Geared up again from supplies from my Ragnarok bases and I grabbed a few bary eggs from my breeders there. Jumped back to the Island. Bred up three barys and a few otters to make up what I lost. Fully imprinted the barys. One of the barys will be my main mount and the other two will be spares in the cryofridge incase of any other disasters. 

Also bred up some yutys and theris for the boss arena. Hatched 3 yutys and 3 theris. Imprinted 2 of of the theris up to 100% but missed the thirds final imprint by seconds. All three are now in cryo with the rest of the squad. Imprinted on all three yutys up to 94% and set one aside as the main boss yuty and put the other two yutys into the cryofridge for spares. Really pleased with my yuty breeding project, I am glad I went the extra effort to get the yutys in colours I love, think they came out really well and look awesome in a painted saddle !

If I got time this weekend want me to mindwipe and craft some BPs for you? (You can also do this, got 2 wipes in fridge specifically for this) Most of flak and such are darn cheap, only pain will be a longneck and or pump.

 

Do desert cloth improved BPs drop in Ragnarok desert drops? I know you love that stuff, might be worth hunting a few bps.

I wouldnt mind :) If I get time Ill try to do the same. 

I am unsure. I have never seen desert cloth bps at all on any map. I think I once got some premade primitive stuff out a drop on Ragnarok so theoreticaly I guess you could get bps. Just tried looking on the wiki but the wiki is a nightmare with a mobile. Got vaugue recolections of reading somewhere that it has to be cave loot in Scorched but unsure of that.

We had some on official a bit after scorched released so I would assume so out of the scorched caves. Maybe the cave on Rag has scorched loot?! Ill do a bit of googling

Got on for awhile tonight. Started off breeding Megatherium to try and get my tamed stats together, turns out both my males were similar and had bad stats. Ended up combining the stats into a few females and gave up after about 12 megatheriums, imprinted 2 females to 100% and also hatched a few Theriz eggs and got 90% on them, I think we pretty much have our boss theriz sorted, minus a few replacements (weve gotten hp and melee muts since) but were talking +500hp +12% melee.

 

Between a few mega breeder raises I went to the lava cave for redemption and revenge for @AngrySaltire. I brought a few building supplies with me and build a couple small bridges near artifact and over the 2 main trouble spots for later use. Got 4 artifacts and put one on display at base.

 

Over the course of 3-4h I have been getting kicked in base going from breeding area to main house, each time exactly as its loading the house. Upon login id get kicked 3 times before logging in. I decided it was probably the 7 artifacts we had on display, I took them down and the crashes got better. Still crashed (but loaded in 1st try) after, so I went on a cryo binge and sorted most of our breeders, tames etc in the fridges.

 

After I went and demolished most of the redwoods treehouse section across the river, instead opting for a smaller gated area just for safe bridge access, we can get way more sap from Gacha, and this will help me expand our base without running into further crash problems. I really need an Xbox 1X..

I havent played ARK for a while, because i have a lot of tests and i also have a job interview in one week. But today i will start again after a long time.

I will try to tame some high level Allos, one male and one female. Then i do some breeding for good stats. I want at least three good allos for boss fights and stuff. 

Still wondering if Allos alone or maybe with some daeodons and a Yuty are good for boss fights

Been getting worried about that. Havent had problems with crashing though. Thought that base was getting a bit crowded so started cryoing a few things too shall go around later an see what else i can do to help out.

The center xbox small tribes

Wife and I went cross server to rag 9 to raid some rich folk. People on rag are so much wealthier. Got some crazy loot such as mastercraft quetz and parade platform saddle bps and crazy weapon bps. Then unfortunately two loud mouth kids on manas killed us and the tames.

Oh well easy come easy go. Lost so much good gear in the last couple nights to failed raids. Might stick to farming and taming for a while.

First i did some grinding for my crossbow bp with 700 damage, then i went looking for some Allos. Got a level 80 female and level 108 (wild levels) male and did some breeding (only got one egg), but i didnt hatch it, because I found a lvl 84 Thylacoleo and tamed it. Then i had to do some reorganizing in my workshop, because i have too much weapons. So i built some large storage boxes for new weapons. Then i went looking for a Yuty and found a male and a female, seperated from each other. Unfortunately the male drowned and i killed the female accidently. But then i found a lvl96 Megatherium an tamed it. Then i turned of my console and did some studying for my math test on wednesday.

Xbox - Unofficial Nitrado Server - The Island 

Did a bit of organising about the base, repaired my ascendant chainsaw and did a bit of farming on obsidian mountain. Spotted a titanosaur near spino river so went back to base for my giga and walked to the titan. Killed the titan and harvested it up for hide. Later on I noticed a measly level 20 wild giga on the east side of obsidian mountain. Decided I could take it. Got on my giga, transfered my male giga from extinction for a mate boost and went out to take on the giga. Went well only lost about 10k health on my giga and I got the giga heart. 

Transfered across my snow owls across from extinction and continued my snow owl project. Combined 2 snow owl colours I had and got the colours I wanted into a male bird. Now I just need to breed the male with the female I have which has all the stats I need. At the same time I raised up an anky and fully imprinted on it. Been putting that off for ages but decided it was about time I had an imprited anky for farming.

Went back out to obsidian mountain and farmed up the metal and obsidian. Went well with my new anky, really should have done it sooner. Decided I should make a move on beginning to craft up some boss theri saddles so I filled up the replicator with enough resources to craft 4 ascendant theri saddles. Respeced fully into crafting skill and crafted up the saddles. Got 3 of the saddles with a 40% bonus which was great, the last one was barely boosted in armour. Only problem now is I now need to go back out and farm up all the resources again.

Snip

So it begins :) Tonight if I get on ill make a few more saddles. 

 

Forgot to add; Last night after I posted my story I fleshed out most of my boat to metal, nothing special but by accident figured out the old ceiling foundation extension trick while converting from Thatch to Metal. My next boat will be better designed with this in mind, the current one will work as a mobile taming pen / Gunship to clear out the rivers' extreme Ptera overpopulation. 

After that I combined all 60 element we had in dust form, then crafted up another Tek Gen for our water base teleporter, then a few Tek Bridges for giggles. Just one more teleporter to make, last I checked before I logged with the 3k ingots I farmed we still had enough poly and ingots to craft it. Just need more element!

 

Getting close to bosses. I know we have our 16-19 Theriz, were missing roughly 12 ascendant saddles though :P Probably beta brood / monkey (maybe Alpha monkey too) next weekend, depending on how much we can farm this week :)

I hope I left enough metal after I crafted the saddles. Left alot smelting up in the forge when I logged. Also nicked some poly in the fabby for the asc chainsaw but I am sure I replaced it later. Killed a few alpha raptor so theres some element dust.  So 4 saddles crafted 15 to go lol Thats alot of metal, hide, wood and fiber.

I always find this one of the most interesting posts to read. What did you do on *ARK* today?

I for one tamed a few scorpions, filled my troughs full of berries and meat and then decided to look into the possibility of taming a high lvl bear ready for a cave run (would be my first run so it may not go well).

I also put a Ballista on the back of a one of Dinos so that might be a laugh to go on later.

Other than that, Ill be hopping on later with some friends and will put a few hrs into just socialising and doing a few little chores.

Today i breeded again my gigas and tex rex in extinction :)

The goal last night: Make a few theri saddles and that 2nd Tek Teleport. Started off with a metal run, then took the mammoth & theri out and slotcapped the mammoth. Got back and filled the wood vault, took my anky and teleported to blue, got more metal and obsidian. While the metal was cooking went on a huge hide run. Came back to the base with 40k hide and started sorting everything before i mindwiped.

 

Turned on the replicator and made an extra cryofridge for breeding projects, about 40 cryoballs and a Tek teleporter! Got my ingots together and had enough for 3 saddles. Mindwipe, only one saddle came with good % i.e: 136 arm roughly 47% craft. Also made some spare flak, after a small hide run had enough for another theriz saddle and then some but didnt want to do another 2 metal runs so I crafted this asc spino saddle we got from swamp cave. Ridiculous thing..151 armour naturally like 19k hide 2k paste and 2k pearls. Got lucky and it came out 199.8 armour! 

I now have 4 saddled Boss theriz, with an extra saddle for my personal.

 

After speccing back I finished off my boat about 95% , threw some turrets and for the first time used a keypad, great for turning on/off lights and turrets! 

 

I was bored after my boats maiden voyage so I grabbed my ridiculous sword santa gifted me and went out on foot. Made it to green ob and back, had a blast, thanks to my pump shotgun! I was walking through the Redwood daring any thylo to pounce me. Not a single one this time!

 

Logged for the night. Might add something I probably forgot :P Need to go back to my list keeping

Got on quiet late, had a few things I had to do after work. Continued with the snow owl breeding project, need to combined colour with stats. Got a male and a female which I can breed togther to better my chances at a successful hatch of a full stats with my white/blue/cyan colours. Keep hoping for a nice feather mutation to go with the blue and cyan. Did get a green feather mut but it didnt suit the blue. Stockpilled a bunch of eggs from the new breeders for the next time I am on.

Did a metal run on obsidian mountain and a smaller run up redwood mountain and filled up the forage. Did a wood run on my theri not realising d1nk had already filled up the wood vault. Finished off by making a wee dent in the masses of chitin we have in a vault and crafted up a bunch of cementing paste.

Just got on for a short one today, took a bred megatherium and went to the swamp cave on my frog for some paste. About half way through I tossed out the mega for dps support (wow im doing this from now on!) While i lopped up a few flies for paste, then mounted the Mega for the rest. I got unlucky with the last drop, as I hopped off I got spat on by a ceiling Artho, lucky I have lots of HP ans carry custom food. 

On the very last crate got an Ascendant Rex saddle bp! 105 arm!!

Went home, threw the paste in the vaults and logged
