I played a ton this past weekend ..... but I did come across one issue that frustrated me.

 

PS4 Single Player - Extinction ..... I was wearing Ghillie armor, and my bolas kept gltiching out. I would throw the bola, but it would instantly destroy itself, instead of flying towards the target.   Very frustrating, as I was trying to tame a 150 event colored taperjara in Bright yellow and Neon Green.   

 

I've never had this bola issue before, anyone know what is going on?

I thought i was being clever whilst doin a 25k vein i threw out my fav boss rex and immediatly threw out my derpy wild tamed 125 giga with like 120 melle yeah i know trash but its wahat i had, because the giga torpor drain disappears super fast and it gets up and stands even in cryo sickness....

 

Well it was still in cryo sickness while standing and this dinky little corrupt trike one shot it... And i lost it, threw out my other boss rez, it sat there instead of helping me and i lost the vein at wave 5 on top of my giga loss uhhh

 

Got my saddle back which was ascendant, it was a gift. My bum really hurts for how bad i fudged myself tho.

Well this weekend was  a big ARK weekend, once I got back from work.  I continued building out my base and collecting materials.....at the moment I am super bored with collecting materials. I need copious amounts of Iron so its a Pop across to The Island. Port to the bed in the Hidden Lake. Hop on Argy, collect Anky, fly to Mountain, Mine, bring metal back, drop in beacon, pop back to Rag, collect metal out of beacon, carry to base and smelt. I feel like I did that 100 MILLION times. However my base is looking amazing.

On one of the trips I spotted a Black 193 Griffin which I had to have. So I built a taming base in the one waterfall cave near to the Griffin spawn (the base has a fridge, generator, bed etc etc). Went and killed a gazillion sheep for Mutton. Got back and tamed said Griffin. Then back to Building the base. Oops there is a level 200 Alpha Rex below my base so, as you do, I tag teamed my 2 Argies and Griffin to kill it. When their health was low I took them back and swapped to the next one, 2 healing while one fights. That took a while but Rag is now minus one lvl 200 Alpha Rex........and you guessed it back to material gathering.

So tonight I might gather more or maybe gather more........

Far too much has happened to report here, but the short version is I got tired of my base location. It's desolate and highly uninspiring. So, I did the logical thing and scouted out a brand new location that made me want to build there. Staked my claim and am now moving in. All of my animals have been moved, including the 3 wyverns I raised over the weekend. Now I'm just doing a run or two each day to pick up heavier mats like ingots with my hauler argent while I work on setting up with new builds, etc.

Here is essentially everything I did last night:

ragnewbasepagoda.thumb.jpg.2db7e4acf05fee7dd54395ff38e7825b.jpg

Definitely need to paint the pagoda. I was going to put my birds there, but I think it'll be a lot nicer as a guest space. I'll put a transmitter and some basic amenities there, maybe even a cryopod fridge as a charging station, and a trade box. Side note it's been a long time since I did a "butterfly corner" ceiling and it took awhile to remember how to do it properly. If anyone remembers my old kibble pagoda, basically the same design. Would have done a hollow inner roof if I could figure out how without breaking everything. Well I guess I can always renovate it later.

The mod pieces are from eco's garden decor. This server only has 6 mods and they're all for building, plus the awesome spyglass which is indeed awesome and I highly recommend it over the older super spyglass. It shows way more information and can be used live to help with tames.

Not pictured: the utter dumpster fire that is my quick n dirty box build for just having somewhere to put stuff for now. Terrible. Put it right where my main build is going to be too, did not think that through at all...

PS4 - Ragnarok - Crazy Boosted German Server

 

Well the weekend came and went, and I was never raided, nor did I ever see that the server changed to PvP status even though the Server message says as much.

Honestly, I'm not going to complain, as I much prefer PvE. Real life is tough enough, let alone having to deal with online diloholes . So I'm fine in my safer PvE fantasy world.

So the event colored dinos are starting to spawn on the server.... obvious that there was no dino wipe, so I have just been killing the dinos I want to spawn until I get what I want.

Basically that has meant Wyverns and Griffins.  I built a killing air defense outpost up above the wyvern cave. Just a metal box with turrets on top and a dino gate to fly my Ptera inside.  I got a ASC Ptera Saddle BP last week in a drop, so I use that on my Pteras with the best HP, then we go and tease the wyverns, once they agro, we fly to the outpost, and into the gate, shut the door and we hide like little online trolls.  The turrets do all the work, and I collect the talons and sulfur.  Last night I finally saw some event colored dragons, but they were all Poison dinos.  I prefer the Fire Wyverns myself. so I'll keep trying.

Regarding the Griffins, I hadn't had much luck... I saw and tamed a couple level 40 event colored one, but I want top quality, so I have been killing all the Griffs I see hoping for a good RNG outcome.

Well after hours of no luck (including a finding bases built on top of 3 spawn points) I finally got rewarded. I purple and Blue level 280, which I escorted to my trap and tamed it up.

As I was flying it back to my base, I see another Griffin in the distance.... a perfect level 300 in yellow and Blue!  Rinse and repeat, I have two top level colored Griffins.

I'm still getting used to the fact that flyers cannot carry tames on this server. Last week I tamed a level 334 Tek Quetz that was all black wings, with Red and Blue Highlights.  I was having a heck of a time, as it kept trying to fly above Viking bay, and I was sure it would drop into the water. The other problem, is that Viking Bay is filled with 3 HUMUNGOUS bases, filled with dinos and gear. The Lag is so bad there, that I missed so many shots on the Quetz, with the stuttering start and stop due to the lag.

Finally, I got the Quetz heading towards the oil mountains and then a Yuty fear roared my dino, so I was lost for a moment.  I get my bearings, but I can't see the Quetz anymore. then right near the entrance to the ice cave, I see the Q, it is stuck between 2 trees.  I quickly land and place dino gates on it, locking it in. All the while, I can hear the the Yuty getting closer. So I go off to fight that, and lead it away. Being careful to dive in an out to avoid the roar, I finally kill it and his minions off.  I then return to the Quetz, start tranqing it out, and then I hear a Carno immediately followed by dire wolves howling. I see a Alpha carno chasing a moose right towards me.  my Griffin and I head it off, and we kill the a few wolves and are engaged with the carno, when ... "Server shutting down in 30 seconds ....."  Holy crap, not good. I try whistling my Griffin to neutral (it had been on passive) and I try to lead it away from the Quetz.

5 anxious minutes later, I am back on the server, and in the middle of a battle with the carno, I have an ASC sword with me, and I am flailing away at him, but my armor is breaking and I am near death, then my griffin appears next to me and I jump on, and we take off. I heal up and we finally finish off the Alpha. It was a level 280.

Now, with the area cleared, I begin to knock out the Quetz, but it is bloody from the earlier battle, so I had to take it slow to avoid killing it. Finally it gets knocked out, and as it stands up, I put a platform saddle on it. Within seconds, a whole pack of baddies come falling down the side of the mountain, and we get the heck out of dodge!

I take the Q back to base, and healed it up over the weekend, then last night I uploaded it to my single player game. 

I also tamed a handful of high to max level Argies/Pteras, and a Blue with pink feet Sloth. Also, while flying to do the desert drops, I came across a high level bright yellow Thyla.  So I just had to build a taming pen, and tame it up to.  Of course running it all the way all cross the map back to base took some time, but worth it.

I also came across some dinos in strange places, that were available for claiming. I found a Poison Wyvern flying in the shadows of a waterfall. No base with anywhere close to it. So I claimed it.

Then later I came across a Snow Owl that was hovering way above the water not near a base either. So after much failed attempts (I kept falling into the water) I finally claimed that one too.

I don't feel too bad about claiming those, as they were just out in the open far away from any base.

One of the last things I did last night was explore a little more of the map, and I visited a big base with a tek force field.  In a pen next to the force field area, was a lower lever all CYAN tek Quetz and the opposite sex of the one I had tamed previously.   The claiming time says available in less than 24 hours.   I am so tempted. Up until now, I haven't messed with anyone's bases .... but it this is sitting out in an open pen, I'm starting to wonder if I should go for it.  I mean if they really wanted it, why would they leave it in an open pen, instead of putting it inside the tek forcefield bubble?  What do you all think?  Would I be a total jerkball for claiming it if it is available tonight?

Anywho ... as I flew home drooling over the Cyan Tek Q, I flew over a new base under construction... I flew down to inspect it, when I noticed that there were actually two people in the base.  I didn't have a headset on, so I just did the wave emote, and took off. As I flew away, I realized that they did not appear to have any dinos. So when I got back to my base, I grabbed a high level non event colored Griffin, Argy, and Ptera, and flew the back to the new base.  But when I got there, no one was around. But there was one part of the base what was locked so perhaps they were logged off in there. Regardless, I left all three dinos there and unclaimed them. Hopefully they want/need the dinos.  I keep checking over the next few days to see if they claim them.

so oooookay (said in my "Office Space" voice)  I just typed up another novel for you all... sorry about that.

Havent made much progress last couple of nights, probably not much point in reporting this but I guess its good to give a progress update. It might even be in legible English. Continued my new waterfall outpost. Got the cliff platforms down on the cliffs looking out over the valley, taking heavy inspiration from a youtube video and tweaking the design slightly. Got the foundations down onto the two main cliffplatforms. One of these shall be a gatehouse/stable build and the other shall be the main build and crafting area. There isnt land access to this base so I had to put down a ramp on the side of the cliffs and built a bridge over part of the waterfall to connect the two main platforms. Also built stairs on the side of the cliff from the main platform to allow access to the upper cave entrance. Originally I was going to build to allow large dino to access (such as gigas) the top entrance point but I decided against it prefering to favour an aesthetic build. I shall use other base locations for that and use this one as mainly a flyer and smaller dino outpost. Started building on the main platform, it is currently a work in progress and a trial and error type build, again taking inspiration from youtube. Wasted alot of structures but the building is beginning to take shape. 

Annoying in terms of completing the build, I wont be on tommorow as I have plans (the things I do for fun...) or the night after as I will hopefully be at the cinema watching Endgame, buzzing for that

@Aushegun dude, that isnt half a novel ? I'll try reading it when I am not zonked out my skull. Zzzz

Sooo a non-productive evening for me.  LOTS of flying around achieving nothing. So I went back to the Island and mined 7000 stone. Chucked it in the beacon to pull out in Rag and then went to the Blue Ob mountain to mine Ore.  Of course my pick broke and I haven't finished the base up there so couldn't fix it. So back to Rag with the metal and stone. Started making Adobe roof tiles and ran out of Clay and Sand. Went to Viking Bay to collect sand......but was so so slow by hand. Read on the wiki that you an use a pick or hatchet.....so back to the base to get them and NO NO they don't work. So decided you could probably find it in the desert. Well after 2 hours of flying around and dying twice I never found any so gave up for the evening. Went back to base to work on my farm. Building on the hill proved to be a challenge but got it sorted out until I ran out of materials again. Was too lazy to go get more stone and wood so logged off and will try again today.

Pretty slow night last night, just working on my one upper perimeter wall. It's not a very large wall or anything but I am stacking foundations because I hate uneven walls, so it's just mass amounts of materials. I actually have a crazy amount of stone from clearing the area with my doed so I won't be running out any time soon, but wood and thatch run low annoyingly fast.

Also brought my generator and fridge over from my old base location. Boy was my bird not happy with me hauling that much weight in eggs but we made it.

I think I want to try taming snow owls this weekend. Haven't tamed a single Extinction exclusive creature yet.

My Easter event was spoiled due to a mountain biking accident with a tree - it literally came out of nowhere :(

Damaged my Medial Collateral ligament in my knee so have been resting up all week since Sunday... no nice tames for me :( 

I should get on this week at somepoint and will continue with hatching and breeding looking for those muts :)

You should get sand when you use a hatchet/pick on any of the rocks that kind of look like Rock Golems. (the orange/yellow rocks)   I get sand all the time when I harvest those, and my Doed harvests SO MUCH sand from those rocks. I then use a berry gatherer dino to get cactus sap, and I have clay for days!

Odd I was beating the rocks in the 80/20 region of Ragnarok and only got Stone, Metal and Flint. Will try more in the desert.

PS4 - Ragnarok - Crazy Boosted German Server

 

Got home last night, and the first thing I did was fly over to see if that Cyan Tek Quetz was available for claiming. After some internal debate, I took it. It was low level, but the colors were just too good.

Get back to base, and a Titano had spawned in the valley below my base.... freaking great ?  I hate those things. So I took out my high HP Ptera, and we did our best to kite it away from the base area.

Then I decided to fly around a bit and check the Griffin spawns again ... a bunch of vanilla high levels, but I'm looking for event high levels. So I commited more mass Griffincide.

Then as I flew over a neighbors base, I see that his rexs dropped a fertilized egg. I look around his base, but everything is locked, so I cannot put it in a fridge for him/her.  So I took it home with me.

I then decided to go do the ice cave drops and then hit the Redwoods looking for event Thylas. On my second day on this server, I built a secondary pretty hidden base in the Redwoods, and kept a Ptera there for emergencies.  I had fast traveled there a couple times since, to stock the food bin, but hadn't spent much time there. So after getting ASC stone hatchet and MC Cloth hat from the Ice Cave (lucky me!) I hit up the Redwoods and find a few Thylas, but no colors. I then stop by the base and I noticed that not too far away, someone has built a small base pretty close to mine.  I check out the new base, and see that it is the same person who has recently built a tiny base near by main base in Upper Hidana.  Now both of his bases are out in the open, not hidden . So I'm thinking just a coincidence?

With the forges stocked with metal and wood, and the mortars cranking out CM paste, narcotics, and gunpowder; I head off to see what the desert drops are. But before I even leave the Redwoods, I come across a Quetz flying just above ground in the middle of the Redwoods. IT was only a level 74, but since I had already uploaded the Cyan quetz, and previously transferred the 334 Tek Quetz I tamed last week, I didn't actually have a Quetz on this map.  Plus I can use this Q to tame another one.

So I fly up, and lock it in with some premade dino gates.  I then KO'd it. But now I need some Prime meat, as I don't have kibble with. I begin searching the area for a Stego, Paracer, anything to give me Prime. Quickly my search brings me into the snow area, and there I see another Quetz flying just above the snow ! And this one is a level 270! (like a level 135) It is all black, except for a a hint of dark green on the head. I swoop down with my Ptera, do the gate trick again, and KO this bad boy too. Then I start hearing howling of wolves, and see them attacking a Mammoth. I go over and clear them all out. Thank fully this Ptera is the battle one, and I am able to clear them out fairly easily. Still looking for prime, I finally see an argy, and I kill that, then back to the Quetz. I put up dino gates around him to protect him, and then leave to look after the first Q.  The low level one tames up soon after getting the prime meat, so I lead it back to the 270 area. After killing about a dozen more wolves and surviving a jump-scared the crap out pf me wolverine (purlovia) attack, I gather some more prime meat, and tame up the high level quetz.

At this point I realize I am not too far from where I had tamed a high level Yuty a few days earlier, when it attacked the Quetz I was trying to tame. So I lead the two Quetz towards the Yuty area, but not before getting ambushed by a neon green and blue Ice Wyvern. Thankfully it was very low level, and we take it out quickly. Arriving at the Yuty, I put the saddle I had left in the Ptera days earlier, and I ride the Yuty all the way back to the base with a Ptera and 2 Quetz following.  I did a fair amount of dodging bad dinos, and we got home with only a few skirmishes along the way.

I made up platform saddles for both Quetz, and on the low level then made a useable but pretty crappy ramp and platform on top. This will allow me to carry dinos tamed far away on it, since the flyers cannot carry any dinos.

oh yeah, while I was doing the platoform work I was incubating that neighbors Rex egg. Eventually my Tek Parasaur signaled the hatching and I went in to feed  the new green and white level 442 Rex baby. ( My top level, prefect tame rexs stood up at 434, so this baby obviously had multipe mutations in its bloodlines.) I continued to feed it while crafting up preserving salts and cooking meat. Eventually I loaded the Rex up with the salts, raw and cooked meat, and threw in a new prim saddle that I had colored to compliment the green and white.  I lead the juvenile rex onto the new Quetz carry platform, and fly it over to my neighbor's base. I then unload it on top of one of his buildings, and unclaim it.  I'm sure when he/she logs back in, they will be confused. (I did create a note and leave that in the rex too, explaining what I did.

Just as I was finishing this, I had a near disaster. I fell off his building roof, and was locked in, as all the gates were sealed. So I called the Quetz, but when it tried to circle around to me, it went outside the base, and then got stuck on the other side of the gate. Arrrrgghhh! :Jerbmad:

Eventually, after trying over and over, I found a spot where the Q could fly over the gates and I was rescued!

Back to base we went, and after taming up a nearby high level beautiful blue and yellow Argy, I took off again on my Ptera to resume my search for colored Thylas. 

Fast forward..... not one event thylas and now it was after 1am, and I need to get up at 5:45am ..... so bed time for this old man.?️

Got on last night and went straight to grinding. I was 87.8 now and wanted 89 for that cooker. Spent a lot of time between the toilet and grinder. Went to SE isle to look for some easter thyla while I was waiting, nabbed a 135 male regular one and tamed it.

Made the cooker as soon as I got 89 and set it up in our cooking area under the forge. Cryod a few tames and killed off my extra argy breeders, organized the tames a bit then logged.

Today when I get home im going to go get some sap and start making kibble. Going to start a proper egg farm soon - not sure where yet. To progress through my thyla line ill need the highest kibble, this half arsed taming of thyla isnt going great even with slightly boosted taming

NOTE TO SELF (Xbox One): When placing rotten meat, poop, organic polymer, or anything else that can make you sick or kill you, press the Left Bumper, NOT the Right Bumper.  Yes, I have done this repeatedly on all mentioned items at least once if not multiple times.  For those that do not have an Xbox One, pressing the Right Bumper will cause you to eat said item.

It was the most awaited day for me since today I finished my complete 200+ creature taxidermy museum on Extinction enclosed by full Tek tier base. It was on Extinction so getting lots of Element, polymer(Corrupt nodes) & Metal was no problem. From island to Aberration, I always wanted to do that extravagant thing, but never got a chance due to resources like Black Pearls/Element being rarer. So, when I started Extinction & then the homestead patch came up, I decided to make my dream a reality. This would be a fitting end, a worthy finale to probably my all time 2nd favorite video game & my favorite in past 16 yrs. (My fav game is from 2003)

All of Ark's 200+ creatures taxidermied, all 24 trophies & all 20 artifacts in one gigantic TEK base museum. Being a huge dino nerd & always wanting to be paleontologist when I was a kid, I had learnt a lot, really a lot about dinosaurs & prehistoric life.

SO, I decided to make a video of it where I look at a taxidermied creature & comment on facts & other general knowledge about it. Its also my 1st ever commentary video on any platform (not just youtube & fitting that it was for a great game like Ark). For example, Allosaurus(my profile pic here) had two subspecies, the common 9.7m Allosaurus fragilis & the gigantic 13m Allosaurus maximus (which is 1m longer than even a T-Rex). Or that Coelocanths lived from age of dinosaurs & are still alive. OR that the Aberration fantasy Roll Rat was taken from the real life Mole Rat which is blind & buries underground etc etc. Here's the video link.

PS: This is probably my best video. So, I know I'm promoting this here, but it would really make my day if you guys like it & subscribe. I am starting out on video making & all, so any help in any quantity is much appreciated. Thanks in advance :):)

Another build heavy day. I finished the basic form of my wall, including a built in large taming pen. Being right on the edge of the snow means it's actually not too hard to kite yutys into my pen for safe, easy taming. I know it works because I tamed two of them, a male and female pair. Junk levels, just need eggs.

Now I wonder if it's worth keeping kibble animals at all beyond the yutys and possibly rexes. The S+ nanny eliminates the need for imprint kibble and from what I read babies sometimes even accept higher tier kibble anyway. Luckily I don't have too many tamed for eggs if I decide to cull them later.

I also got two other new additions--a pair of snow owls, with a promised trade of yuty eggs whenever I get enough to bring over. I'm a little bit torn about getting them. On the one hand, they are very nice, bred and imprinted twins that will be very useful in the future. On the other, I was planning to go hunt down and breed some for myself and maybe introduce some new stats/colors to the cluster. I know it's a trade and all but I don't currently have any good animals to contribute to the trade economy so it just feels like a handout.

I know it's mainly impatience on my part. I've been on the cluster for less than a month, started on a different map and am in the process of moving my base. Of course I'm not going to have anything, I'm not set up yet. I'm just busy imagining what my base and bloodlines will be like in the future when I still have so much set up to do now.

Honestly my main priority besides the base right now is leveling up, still 2 shy of the cooker that I so desperately need. It is just so, so painful to manufacture kibble in any quantity without it and that means I have far fewer supplies for taming on hand. I also still want to do at least one more built in taming pen, possibly two--one for birds, as argents are nearby. And one for smaller animals. I think it's also worth my while to wall off the back of the area in case an animal somehow gets loose, it could run off the cliff and straight down into my base. Knowing my luck I'll lose everything except my ugly rex if that happened...

I finally logged on last night to be nicely surprised to see that the Easter event was still running. I didnt manage to do much as I was still quite sore and tired from hobbling around at work all day. I did manage to pop round and feed the base (Center) and get some eggs ready for incubation. I didnt bother with Ext, Ab or Rag as they are all practically in Cryo-shutdown.

I saw some Easter Pteras which I will hopefully pop on tonight and tame a few for the colours :)

Before the end of the week, I need to get myself a 190 Ice Wyvern and a 190 Lightning - doesnt have to be Easter colours, even though one would be nice. In my collection I have 2 x 190 Fires 100% imp to me, and 2 x 190 Posions 100% imp to me. My 190 Ice and 190 Lightnings were gifts so Id really like to get myself a pair of 100% imp to finish my little Wyvern Squad off nicely :)

Well it was back to grinding and base building and looking for sand last night. Quite an evening infact. I got home from work with a lovely bottle of 3 Monkeys whiskey and some ice. Chucked some food into the oven and poured a whiskey, sat down to play and decided that first things first we needed to solve the sand dilemma.  So hopped on Speedy (lvl 320 Ptera) in my Desert cloth and off to the Desert to find stone which contains Sand.  Find a likely spot, hop off Speedy and before I can swing my hatchet the rock moves and changes.......now I am thinking "This is ODD", "what is happening to my rock", "STUPID SERVER!!!".....pause OH NO, its a Rock Golem. Flee, flee, flee. Which I manage to do.  Ok sip drink, breath, relax, offer whiskey to Ptera but he is fine and dandy. Shew. Land near some new rocks and get flung off my Ptera......what hit me?!? see a dark large rat flying towards me and I am knocked off the ledge to my death. DARN IT! Respawn take Killer Argy (who's name is still Argentavis) to find my Ptera and body.....and I STILL haven't hit a rock. Sigh. More whiskey needed. Find my Ptera and body and get attacked by Hyenas  and a wolf which become Petra and Argy food.....idiots are just main course and dessert. Find sand. YAY! Gleefully smash rocks to get sand. Now I am cooking with gas.  Run out of rocks and go  to a new patch. Missed the darn Rock Golem that has wandered off there and I am flying off my Argy again. Get hit by a rock and am now on 5 health. Whistling like a madman to get my birds. No such luck as I cannot get them off Neutral to come to me. Finally get them to come to Daddy, who is cowering in a corner. As I jump on the Argy rock smashes into Speedy who is now renamed to Pulp'ie and resembles his name......Goodbye old Friend I hope the Golem slips on your body.

Sooooo back to base and there is a Alpha Raptor in my base. Time to work off my anger at losing Speedy. One dead Raptor who kindly gives me a Journeyman Stone hatchet as loot. Thanks so much!!!!!

Back to building and need wood. Head off to the beaver damns to get wood and paste. Round 2 as per story above. Rinse and repeat with Castorides.  An hour later I am back at base with the wood, all the birds (needed 3 in total to get my bodies back and rescue stranded birds)........and I am out of thatch. sigh. Tame a megloceras and proceed to get thatch. FINALLY something is going right. Back to the base collect the cooked Iron and complete the cooker (BOOM). Figure out my roof is too low so we start raising the roof. Suddenly there are 3 wild Argies attacking my dinos. Killed them and logged off as my nerves were shot.

Well this weekend was  a big ARK weekend, once I got back from work.  I continued building out my base and collecting materials.....at the moment I am super bored with collecting materials. I need copious amounts of Iron so its a Pop across to The Island. Port to the bed in the Hidden Lake. Hop on Argy, collect Anky, fly to Mountain, Mine, bring metal back, drop in beacon, pop back to Rag, collect metal out of beacon, carry to base and smelt. I feel like I did that 100 MILLION times. However my base is looking amazing.

On one of the trips I spotted a Black 193 Griffin which I had to have. So I built a taming base in the one waterfall cave near to the Griffin spawn (the base has a fridge, generator, bed etc etc). Went and killed a gazillion sheep for Mutton. Got back and tamed said Griffin. Then back to Building the base. Oops there is a level 200 Alpha Rex below my base so, as you do, I tag teamed my 2 Argies and Griffin to kill it. When their health was low I took them back and swapped to the next one, 2 healing while one fights. That took a while but Rag is now minus one lvl 200 Alpha Rex........and you guessed it back to material gathering.

So tonight I might gather more or maybe gather more........

If u have aberation expansion why not go there get a crab n just get metal there its way easy n faster and the metal waaaaaay more there
