So what did you do in ARK today?

[NEKOISMYREALIFE]

Transfer over from crystal to genesis real quick to  get my first magmasaur egg and got a 150 135 90 50. Decided to go back to my main server but I choose the wrong server and try to head back to the original server but the timers on the egg keep resetting. Did some research and found out that you can only transfer fert eggs one time from the serv to got it and now I am stuck with this darn eggs on this server. So just gonna try to hatch it real quick and cryo it.

[MtnDrew]

Tamed a bunch of procomptodons.  I had forgotten how good of a mount they can be.

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Fed dinos. Bred gigas, rexes, allos, argies, gasbags, basilos, and mammoths.

Put eggs in the hatchery. Unpodded argies, gacha, yuties and wyverns for more raising.

Argy hatched - bad. Dad's colors, which are ugly. Killed. Allo hatched - full black (I mean, that's the only outcome, but he got mom's Actual Black back instead of dad's Black back, so he's the better kind of full black), mom's stats, male. So once he's grown I'll be able to REALLY start breeding allos.

Rexes hatched without new mutations. Wyvern hatched with mom's stats. So, killed.

Put on a chibi and went alpha hunting with Phobos, but saw an argent. 135. Female. Full event colors (Powder Blue main, Cyan wingtips, Light Pink underside. Head top and legs, unfortunately, cream, but that can be fixed with some breeding). Had to return to the base to grab the taming supplies. Tamed her, named her Sophani (because colors reminded me of Sophani's Offspring dragon from Dragon's Prophet).

Mammoth born, female, dad's stats, brown belly, but aside from that gray/near black, so that's good. Keeping her. Gasbags born, missed. Wasn't any good anyway, so no big loss. Basilos born - twins! Kept both.

Bred Sophani to Liam, and got an argy with her colors (at least most of them. Forgot to check wingtips) and health and his weight. Don't remember whether male or female, but either way, great for first try.

Also, the missing dimorphodons (except for one) returned. Great.

Podded most things (except for three oldest argies) and logged off. Pretty good day.

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Fed dinos. Bred rexes and argies.

(Official, Crystal Isles) Tried to get Devourer and Pack artifacts, but didn't find them.

(Official, Valguero) Claimed rexes and argies. Killed argies because all father's colors. Kept two rexes with father's stats, named both Biter.

And... You see where this is going, yes? The plan is to hatch, and keep, and raise with full imprint 17 more "Biters".

Because I realized that if I keep waiting for 400% melee, I'll never get to use my rexes at all. So, sure, I'll keep trying, but in the meantime I'll get an army of 372.8%-s. And I'll make saddles for them (16 already done). And I'll try to do gamma boss fight. 20 Birds In A Trenchcoat will have to be the yuty for it, I'll give her a good saddle, and as much imprint as I can, and I'll level her health a lot, to make sure that everything would at least have a chance of being alright.

Also, bred tropicals (female, mother's colors, kept). And a giga hatched (female, dad's melee, kept).

...

(Still Official, Valguero) Podded yuties, rexes, allo and the youngest wyvern. Argies left out because they'll be fine and older wyverns - because I'm curious if they'll be fine.

(Official, Crystal Isles) With a GPS (that I sent myself form Valguero, as CI base isn't equipped to craft that) and the artifact coords written down, I found them. I got them. I was flying to get them to a drop or an obelisk so that I can upload them. Server crashed.

Well, at least I now know where to look, so next time it'll be easier to get them. And I was flying high, so my wyvern probably won't try to land, and I'll be able to retrieve him later.

And that's enough ARK for today.

*Oops! Not enough ARK for today. Gotta check on (Official, Extinction). THEN It'll be "enough ARK for today".

...

(Official, Crystal Isles) Since I woke up anyway, decided to check how things are there. The rollback that made me and my wyvern end up low above one of the floating islands instead of high above Fire Swamp was expected - normal thing after a crash. The sound that greeted me in the moments before the loading screen turns into, well, whatever is actually happening in the game, however, was not.

It was the sound of wings.

Of a wyvern.

My wyvern.

On whose back I was standing.

I repeat: I logged on after a server crash that would have normally caused me to plummet to my death STANDING ON MY WYVERN'S BACK.

Awesome.

...

(Official, Valguero) Retrieved artifacts. So, I have saddles, I have tributes and artifacts, I have a set of armor I'll wear, and I have custom recipes for food I'll take with me. Just gotta hatch and raise my army, level it, and I'll be ready.

Speaking of army: bred rexes again - 2 more Biters.

Also: wyverns were fine. All grown. Bred wyverns, got a mutation! On a blood. Vermillion on main. But, unfortunately, oxygen, so killed. Out of the others I kept three with highest food stat, got them out of hatchery, and left them there to grow by themselves.

Oh, and argents! They grew, and I put them and the older ones in a neat little row. And I already bred them, but, unfortunately, all babies were female, and I don't need any more of that, so I kept one with Sophani's colors and killed the rest.

Did a metal run, and an obsidian run. Made a ton of cementing paste.

And that's all for now. Wow. it was a whole lot of ARK.

...

Oh! Forgot another thing: the last missing dimorph returned. So, my swarm is all there, all alive. Cool.

(new comment because the old one is pretty damn big as is)

(Official, Valguero) Went to look for a female spino. Didn't find any spinos at all. Decided to take a look at the wyvern trench. Just a look. A quick peek.

Things kinda escalated.

Accidentally did my first ever egg run (outside of singleplayer).

Have 2 ice wyvern eggs in the hatchery now.

Levels 20 and 95, but still.

Hope the colors are nice (by nice I mean, like, white or light blue, or something. I like wyvern colors to match their element).

Also, as I was flying away from the trench, spotted a very dark argent. Only level 50, but dark-dark-dark! Black and gray, mostly gray, but looks pretty much black. Tamed her. Named her Nightmare Shadow. She'll join the ranks of my breeder argies - can't wait to get some argies with her good looks and other argents' good stats!

...

Decided that since I'm adamant about doing (at least trying) bossfight as soon as I have enough rexes (though judging by soem videos of Valg gamma bossfight with rexes, mine will do fine as long as I'm not too much of an idiot), I'll need a way to get element in a way that doesn't involve bosses. So I overcame my fear of server transfers and hopped over to an Ext server for unstable elem engrams. And the rest of Ext engrams, because why not.

Things went fine. The Ext server lagged a bit while I was transferring out, scared the hell out of me, but I got back to Valg juuuuust fine. And since I'm not planning on using mindwipe tonic EVER again, I won't need to jump servers for engrams again.

Immediately made all full stacks in my dust vault into unstable element. Later will send one of my doeds to my (Official, Extinction) side-base so that I'll be able to get more dust from there.

...

Level 20 egg hatched. Female, WyvernBlue0 and WyvernPurple1, so, light, cold colors. Named her Aurora and will do my best to raise her.

...

95 hatched, also female, also light colored, but back is blue. Named Frozen Soul.

...

Decided to do a second egg run. Got a 150! But Aurora starved while I was away - turned out normal wyverns lose food a lot faster than crystal ones. Will have to watch Frozen Soul and whatever hatches form the 150 closely.

...

Did my first ever milk run (podded Frozen Soul and picked up the egg first: I don't need any more dead wyverns!). Went fine: there was a public wyvern trap with behemoth tek gates, so my crystal wyvern was able to fly through it just fine. First accidentally got a female and a male trapped, tried to kill the male and killed both, but on second try managed to get a level 25 female trapped.

Knocked her out quickly, got milk, went back to the base... 

And a disconnect happened.

Thankfully, I ended up alive, but I had to get to the base on foot because the wyvern was hovering too high up to whistle even with a spyglass.

And all the milk was on him.

Yeah.

But I managed to get him, and I unpodded and fed Frozen Soul, an made some preserving salt to keep the rest of milk longer.

I'm actually getting kinda tired now, but I want to hatch the 150 today.

Also! The oldest two "Biters" are fully imprinted, younger two are halfway there, and form the last batch of eggs hatched 4 (four!) rexes got the highest stats, so that's 4 more rexes for my army.

Things are going gooood.

...

150 hatched. Body and belly turquoise, back peach. Not the colors I'd want from an ice wyvern (it's more of a tropical coloration), but surprisingly good-looking. No stat below 20, highest - weight (28 points). Podded him, Frozen Soul, yuty and the younget 2 Biters. Older Biters and crystal wyverns are staying out. Picked up eggs. Logged off.

thanks again, this is an interesting thread....like someone’s diary.

[Penguin73]

Single Player, Scorched Earth

Looked for a female Yuty.  Found nothing good.

Did a couple caves, now have two of each artifact.

Found a red desert loot drop and got and ascendant scuba tank BP and an ascendant scuba mask BP.  Very nice but don't need them right now.  Put them in the vault for future use.

Took the wyvern to the trench and lured out other wyverns one by one and killed them for talons.  Killed a 180 fire and a 175 Poison in the process.  Looked for eggs by found nothing above level 60 in that section.  Which was disappointing with those high levels flying around.  I will go back soon and check a little further down the trench.  I'm thinking there has to be a good egg in there somewhere.

Hatched the 125 lightning egg I took from the trench last week.  It came out female with no stats to brag about.  Colors are a nice though.  white and a soft lavender-blue.  I put it in a pod.

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Bred rexes, argents and wyverns. Gonna breed gachas, too. Unpodded ice wyverns for more raising, did a milk run. Unpodded gacha to finish raising her because, well, it's a black pearl gacha. Better to have that ready.

Yesterdays argent eggs hatched - 1 mutation (but on food. And ugly), 1 male (but father's leg color, I don't need that).

Yuty fully imprinted now.

Installed a second baby fridge for biters specifically (well, and for current yuty and any future yuties). Unpodded and killed some babies that I'm definitely not gonna finish raising.

...

2 more Biters! That makes it 11 total, with 9 growing at the moment. Things are going great so far. Ice wyverns growing fine too, and the crystal ones are nearly adult.

...

Finally! A male argent with Sapphire's dark blue AND her dark gray legs. I'll raise him (later, though - right now I'm a bit busy with all the rexes, and the wyverns, and everything) and he'll replace Liam as my breeder male. Also, on a different argy happened another mutation: dark violet on underside (bleh) and, again, it's on food. Killed, of course.

...

Went to get more milk. Came home with milk and a 190 ice egg.

...

Wyvern hatched. Male. Colors nothing special: BigFoot4 on main, Dino Light Blue on belly, Dino Light Purple on back. Fits my preference for icy colors for ice wyverns, but more blue and no brown would have been better. But hey! Now that I realized that I'm fine doing egg runs and milk runs, I can just keep kidnapping wyverns until I get the colors I want for breeding. Stam pretty good: 897.8. Melee - 282.2. Health - 5560.5. Weight - 648. So, a nice usable wyvern. High food, enough that he'll be able to eat on is own. That's good.

Podded him, the 150 (named him Topaz Thorn) and Frozen Soul. Podded Biters except for two oldest. Podded gacha. Picked up eggs. Put saddles into the inventories of the oldest Biters.

Logged off.

...

Remembered that I bred gachas. Well, either I'll remember about it in an hour or so, or it'll be a dead gacha. But it probably wouldn't be a good one either way, so doesn't really matter.

...

Unpodded biters and wyverns, as well as the gacha and the future new argy breeder. Podded all crystal wyverns except for Dracula, Apocalypse and Lettuce - the ones I actually use. Raised youngest biters and the argy until they could survive without me constantly watching over them. Did a milk run because Frozen Soul demanded milk for imprint and I decided that rather than rerolling I should just get her what she wants (nearly lost Lettuce to a 170 male Ice - damn thing caught me with its breath, robing Lettuce of his only advantage: speed). Oldest biters nearly adult now. Second oldest fully imprinted.

...

Oldest two grew fully. Saddled both up. Leveled one partially by killing things, got her to over 25 thousand health and over 600% melee, just to see how good she (and by extension the rest of my biters) will be. Podded her and the other one then, to let them get more exp passively. Podded all biters ecept the two fully imprinted juvies. Podded wyverns (after feeding them the milk still in their inventories), Podded gacha. Refilled trough. Picked up giga eggs. Logged off.

Edited April 4, 2021 by AllOfTheAllos

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Crystal Isles) Refreshed base.

(Official, Valguero) Same as the last few days: unpodded things. Meatrun. Milk run. Imprinting. All biters juvi or above now. Frozen Soul fully imprinted. Giga eggs hatching soon. Bred rexes, but got distracted and missed eggs.

...

Topaz Thorn fully imprinted. Gigas hatched, nothing good. Bred two oldest Biters to my breeder male to get 2 more biters. hatched eggs, podded babies. Did another milk run, fed wyverns (yes, i do them too often. But those are my first non-crystal wyverns!). Podded everything except for oldest two biters, yuty, argent and gacha (3% until adult. Plenty of food in the trough. She'll be fine). Logged off.

...

(Singleplayer, Valguero) Removed all mods. Reset settings. Spawned 7 rexes with stats close to what my future army on (Official, Valguero) has, leveled them closely to what my rexes on official will have. Spawned a yuty and a daeo, also close as possible to what i have on official. Saddles for them all, again, just like what I have on off.

And did a test run. it went fine, but I forgot to disable creative mode, so I don't know how good I'm at keeping the yuty out of trouble, as it was invulnerable, so now I'll do a second run, now with creative mode off.

Second test run 1: not all rexes got into the circle. Daeo stayed out too. Died to a dimorpho. Things that DID get in there with me disappeared.

Second test run, proper one: spawned in some rexes, same level as others, so they'd be about right (but the number was still below 18), and a yuty, again, about same as what I have. Leveled yuty, but not the rexes. Went in. Lost some rexes to the dragon, but rest survived. Yuty fell asleep, but monkey was dead by then and manticore hovered, so I just mounted a rex (note to self: take some stimulant into the actual battle!!!). Aside form that - went fine.

And since it went fine like that, I think that what I'll have on official will be good enough to survive, maybe even with no deaths.

...

(Official, Valguero) Again. Unpodded. Meatrun. Imprints. Milk run. Gacha grew up, I even already got some crystals from her. 20 Birds In A Trenchcoat is nearly adult now, placed saddle in her inventory. 2 more Biters adult, bred them. At the moment I have 15 rexes, just need three more. Added them all to a group to make sure there's absolutely no problem with control during the battle. Argent adult, he'll be the breeder now, Liam leveled, saddled up and uploaded, I'll be using him on (Official, Extinction) - with 3000 weight he'll be a much better bird for dust runs - doed that I sent there earlier gets a lot of it and other resources, and while I know that after the event it'll be much less, still more weight will improve things greatly.

Once all eggs currently in the hatchery hatch, I'll pod whatever's good from them and everything that won't survive the night on its own, log onto (Official, Extinction) real quick to feed dinos and retrieve argent, and then that'll be all for today.

Edited April 5, 2021 by AllOfTheAllos

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Unpodded rexes and wyverns. Since 20 Birds is adult now, saddled her and went for some leveling: she now has 10000 health and a bit over 2000 stamina. Fed the black pearl gacha. Spent some time collecting crystals. Imprinted rexes. Bred gachas. Went for milk... And lost Lettuce to a pair of ice wyverns. The 185 male of the pair was smart, caught me from the side, and then they took turns freezing Lettuce, preventing our escape.

Sad, but I still needed milk (and my deathbag), so I unpodded Bat: the fully imprinted blood wyvern with 7000 health. I put points into her stats until 10000 health and around 1000 stam, and went back to the trench. Got my things, got my milk, and returned to the base. Bat will be my new milk-runner.

(Official, Extinction) Fed dinos, did a dust run and uploaded the dust.

(Official, Valguero) Retrieved dust. Did another milk run. Stole and ate (intentionally) a level 20 ice egg. Oldest biters nearly adult, put saddles into their inventories. Once they're grown, I'll saddle them up, pod them, refill troughs, and that'd be all for today.

Edited April 6, 2021 by AllOfTheAllos

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Frozen Soul is adult now. Leveled her a bit. Unpodded Topaz Thorn and Pale Shadow. Saddled up and podded 2 adult Biters, put saddles into the inventories of nearly adult ones, did a meatrun, and unpodded the adult Biters from the previous batches to level their health and heal them up. Once they're full, I'll pod them back up so that they can get more Exp for the melee.

So that's: 10 adult rexes (2 in the fridge, gaining Exp), 3 nearly grown, and 5 juvies.

...

Adult rexes: all healed and repodded. Wyverns: 20 hours worth of food, but only about 8 until adulthood. Juvi rexes: imprinted. Troughs: refilled.

Ammo for the shotgun: made, 200. Stimulants: ready. Food: made, in the fridge.

So, once the remaining rexes are grown, saddled, leveled, and healed to the max, I'll be ready to die to the bosses (or kill the bosses. It's like 50/50).

Edited April 7, 2021 by AllOfTheAllos

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Topaz Thorn is adult now. And beautiful. And strong, too!

Uploaded some kibble, narcotic and tranq darts.

(Official, Extinction) Retrieved narcotic, kibble, and tranq darts and went to tame a good gasbags, because seriously, my low-levels are cool, but 100+ would be MUCH cooler. Found a 140 male! Brown, but that doesn't matter.

So I shot him. And I killed corrupted dinos around him. And chased him. And shot him again. And killed corrupted dinos again. Finally, he dropped. A corrupted stego attacked, ruining effectiveness and leaving him with less than 200 health. So I stayed by him, protecting him from danger, waiting for him to get hungry enough. A corrupted ptera knocked him below 100.

But finally he was hungry enough, and I gave him kibble, and it turned out I was one piece short. Had to give him mejo to finish the tame.

I named him Muffin. His highest stat is, unfortunately, melee. He has 4500 weight. I podded him and uploaded him.

(Official, Valguero) Retrieved Muffin. Did a meatrun, put most of it into the rex troughs, and a bit into Pale Shadow's inventory, so that once he's adult he'll have something to eat - I realized  I don't like seeing a freshly grown up wyvern being hungry. Put a medium taxidermy base on the roof, and on it placed the drmis of the jerboa I wanted to tame but accidentally killed - it's cyan with blue belly.

Edited April 7, 2021 by AllOfTheAllos

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Leveled and healed the last batch of rexes, grabbed all the stuff needed, and did the gamma boss fight. Went grrreat! Manticore got clever, though: only did short landings after it realized how strong Biters are.

And wiki says I'm supposed to get 90 element and a head of each boss, but I got 50, and, for some reason, 2 manticore heads, no heads of either Megapithecus or Dragon. Managed to find a moment to get dragon's dermis, though. All rexes alive, yuty and pig too.

[d1nk]

Awe man allo looks like you're the only poster left

 

Props to keeping it alive dude 

 

[XGiga]

I grinded out for a grinder. Took me awhile to figure out how I would fit all the resources in the fabricator until I found out organic polymer(what I was using) was in smaller stacks than regular polymer. I went to the mountain FARTHEST from me for crystal for some reason. Finally found out how electricity works to power my chem bench. Also found out when you put organic polymer in a preserving bin it doesn't change the timer. Tamed a daeodon and a BEAUTIFUL tek parasaur.

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Altered the workshop so that I can have a tek replicator in there (well, on there. I made a place for it on the roof). Made some cryopods (10 too many),  uploaded the excess as well as some greenhouse ceilings and owl pellets. Bred gasbags (baby good enough, kept) and gachas (no dust. Killed).

(Official, Extinction) Retrieved pods, ceilings and pellets. Put 9 pods into the community fridge, and went with the last one, pellets and ceilings to Sunken Forest - to see if maybe I'll find a dust gacha in the wild.

A disconnect happened as I was above the forest. I survived, though.

Tried to build ladder tall enough that I'd be able to call my wyvern. Realized it won't work. Decided to make a box, put my things in, and jump off the ladder to respawn back home, but thanks to the lags I jumped off the ladder while I was climbing down to put my things in the box.

Took argent, went back for my things and my wyvern. Retrieved all. Took down the ladder. Found a gacha, started feeding it rocks and hide to see what it can make, and then server crashed. Not exactly what I would call "a great day".

...

The server got back. And had a rollback, so when I logged back on I was on a gate at the edge of Sunken Forest. And I missed some time, so my body decayed. Got my wyvern, destroyed the foundation with ladder again, led the argent home, made new armor, spyglass, water jar, and two metal hatchets, had to take one of the 9 pods I left in public fridge because I'm NOT going through the whole "Log off Ext, on to Valg, upload pod, log off Valg, on to Ext, download pod" again.

Went to Sunken forest. Tamed a gacha. No dust. killed. Tamed a gacha. No dust. Killed. Tamed, checked, killed. Like, 12 times at least. Got tired, so when the last one tamed, a 150 female, turned out to be a black pearl one, I sighed, podded her, and went to upload. Yeah, no dust. But at least also a rare resource, and with better base crafting skill than the one I have on Valg.

After that killed a 145 enforcer for its BP, did a dust run, uploaded dust and the enforcer, and logged off. just have to get all that stuff back on Valg, and that'll be all for today.

...

(Official, Valguero) As I was flying to green ob to retrieve all the uploaded stuff, I saw an abandoned base crumbling into nothing. After quickly checking that there's nobody around (because if there was someone, I'd let them have the loot instead), I went looking through bags. Found there several stacks of element and a mining drill. Took that. Then continued my way to the obelisk, downloaded the enforcer BP, podded gacha, and dust, and went home. There I did what any unreasonable player would: immediately crafted a mek.

I named it Slayer, painted it cyan and black, and took it for a bit of hunting.

I didn't give it a lot of element, though - just 10 pieces, and I didn't even spend all of it. Only, like, 4. It turned out to be good at harvesting meat. Pretty good at getting element dust out of tek dinos, too. And the ability to "fly" if fun. But all in all it's inferior to my gigas when it comes to damage and toughness, and doesn't quite have the mobility of managarmrs or wyverns. Plus it's expensive to keep. So, I podded it. I'll bring it out occasionally when I'm in the mood to ride a cool big battle robot, but that's all.

Mining drill, on the other hand, turned out to be quite a great thing. It really does get plenty of resources, especially crystal. I'll be using that.

Fed dinos, logged off.

[AdligerAdler]

Breeding theris, argys, basilos and castoroides. After about 50 attempts I finally got a color mutation on castoroides that's not brownish, grayish or not visible.

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Crystal Isles) Wanted to just refresh the base, but then went for an artifact run as well. Uploaded the artifacts. Headed home but saw a tropical wyvern. Only level 50, but very light in color (NearWhite with Glacial scales, DragonGreen3 fins and Dino Light Green highlights, as I learned after taming him and exporting his data to check with Smart Breeding). So I tamed him, despite having entirely too many crystal wyverns as it it, named him Silver, and uploaded him.

(Official, Valguero) Retrieved the artifacts and Silver. Hunted some brontos and the only pack of allos I found to start accuulating the tributes again. Filled troughs. Unpodded Hamish, fed him to full, repodded him. Unpodded 20 Birds In A Trenchcoat and all the Biters so that they'll regain their health and (in the case of 20 Birds) shed their torpor during the night. Placed them near troughs, of course - I want them full and happy when it's time to repod them.

And that's all for today.

[AllOfTheAllos]

(Official, Valguero) Went to the swamp to get skins and venom. Took longer than I wanted, because I intended to get at least 15 each, so I won't need more runs in the nearest future, and boas were mostly venomless.

Fed dinos (only carnivores for now). Put all my cementing paste and obsidian into the fabricator and started crafting polymer - I want tek behemoth gate for my base, maybe some time later for my water pen, too, and I'm all out of polymer.

Logged off for now.

...

Built and installed behemoth tek gate. Spent some time flying in and out of it (it's not my first time walking through a tek gate, but it feels different when the gate belongs to me). Gathered rest of the tributes. Did a bossfight. Had to only use 17 rexes because some piece of raptor dung left their jerboa at the obelisk.

Fight went fine, but loot was even worse than the first time: not only did I only get manticore's trophy again, but also only manticore's element. I mean, I still get something, 25 element is not bad! Just not nearly what I was supposed to get.

Fed herbivores. Took mek for a bit of hunting, to take out my anger at greedy bosses by killing tek dinos which can always be trusted to give the proper amount of dust.

Returned to the base, logged off.

Unfortunate that they died but good on you for prioritising real life over some pixels

Went on vacation for almost a week.  Got home last night and signed in to refresh base on PVE Island Official.  Found all the lights out and knew the generator ran out of gas.  I actually paused and debated if I should just let everything turn to dust.  Then I pulled my wyvern out of storage and flew up north to harvest oil. I then  read the community chat for a bit while I cooked up some gas and found people are still complaining about lag and DC on that server.   I sadly put the wyvern back in storage knowing my patience is all but used up and I will never play that server again.  I only log in to refresh the decay timer and make gas.  Two months have now passed without meaningful progress on this server.

Switched over to Single Player mode on Scorched Earth.  I didn't have much time so I fed dinos and then flew around and collected a few OSD and two red desert crates.  Found a nice ascendant BPs for ghillie and flak chest pieces.

Xbox SP, The Island

 

Its been many moons since my last post. I have a seasonal job in real life so once the season starts, I usually play sporadically whenever I can. Despite this, I finally have some news to report. 
 

My last post was about my struggle to find otters. I had no choice, after 6 logins worth of trying I couldn’t find ANY, so I dino wiped. I managed to find some low levels after that. I got a pair this time so I never EVER have to fish for otters again. Cool colours, too! Otters are like cannon fodder when I play so I plan to breed up a bunch of spares. 
 

After all the otter drama, it was time to finally attempt the snow cave. In typical me fashion, I was totally overprepared. I got Achilles, my imprinted and levelled Yuty and made two trips, one to clear out the first section of the cave where you can put a mini base and a second trip to bring more crap and actually run the rest of the cave. The house I made in that base is big and cozy enough to live in permanently 🤣 Oh well, I’ll be comfy when I go back to fish some of the huge salmon. 
 

I was massively surprised by how easy it was to run the cave on a yuty. I even brought some of those valentines day chocolates that fully heal your creature, but never had to use one. Very effective creature, I’m super happy I chose that mount. I did lose my otter, though. I didn’t know that if my character was in knee-deep water that the otter would take cold damage as well. Didn’t take long for it to die. 
 

Next up is boss army breeding and then actual boss fights! Wish me luck!

(Official, Extinction) Fed dinos. Did a dust run. Uploaded dust.

(Official, Valguero) Unpodded all the gachas I'm not using at the moment and bred them all (as well as the currently active one) to my only male gacha. Maybe with 4 gachas I would get a dust baby. Retrieved all the dust. Used 12 stacks to make a new, better enforcer, converted rest into element. Since replicator was on anyway, used it to make the shards I had into another piece of element.

Took chibi to go on an alpha hunt, but found no alphas and the server turned out to be very disconnect-y today, so I brought the chibi back home and decided to hunt tek dinos nearby instead, but another disconnect happened, and turned out to be a server crash instead. So now I'll just have to wait and hope that it's not 14 hours like that one time.

...

Server was only down for a short time, thankfully. After it came back up, did my tek dino hunt after all, made all the dust into shards, returned home, fed everything, unpodded Biters to get them all healed up (though I won't do a boss run too soon - no artifacts for now, and I'll need to make more basic kibble for Hamish for him to eat during the fight), waited for gacha babies, checked them and killed them because no dust again.

And that's all for today.

Worked on levelling rex army for a bit before work.  I hope to tackle the manticore at some point this weekend... but still looking for a yuty saddle.  Rexes all have MC saddles.  I don't plan to fight much with yuty, just directing traffic, so I might just roll with a primitive saddle and see what happens.

I've been trying (very unsuccessfully) to breed my vultures. I just let my game run half the time while I do other chores, and I swear I've gone through upwards of a hundred eggs yet not a single chick has inherited both its parents best stats. I'm being super anal about it mostly because I've regretted not being anal enough about stats in this game in the past, but good lord this is ridiculous. You'd think with the 70% chance for the higher stat I'd see more max level babies than min level babies, but no. I've seen two min level babies already but not hide nor hair (feather?) of a max level.

Meanwhile I started building my new base. I decided to try something a little different and build off a cliff this time. Every time I build on the ground I start running out of space or having to destroy the landscape, so making a clifftop house seems like the best option. So far it's much more spacious than anything else I've ever built, and ideally this time around I won't have the issue of struggling to find space for the large crafting machines. I built a nice balcony running along the edge that has enough room to land a flying mount with space to walk around. So far I only have one level to my house but I plan on adding a second when I revamp the place with CKFR materials. I used plain vanilla wood this time around because I didn't want to go on a lengthy gathering excursion while my vultures are breeding but the low ceilings and awkward tiling is getting to me.

 

Speaking of gathering, I did make some short trips out to grab some bunny dodos. I didn't want to miss out on the spoils of the spring event because I was spending all my time near my base, so I brought the dodos is to me. I managed to collect ten bunny dodos and put them on my balcony to pop out eggs for me to collect. I got enough to make several copies of each of the different skins, plus a bunch to crack open.

 

 

I got super lucky since I was looking for a chibi that I found aesthetically pleasing while also complementing my survivor, and after about two hundred eggs I scored a chibi managarmr with dark grey fur and pink scales. It decidedly exceeds my expectations. I was holding out for something like a wyvern, but the nice colors and visual effects on the mana are going to make it a very hard candidate to beat. I have no idea what to name it though, and since I'm really bad at naming things I think I'll leave it unnamed unless I think of something really nice.
