The following is a plan for a large tribe. Its a draft, comments and constructive criticism are encouraged as well as hearing about your own plans. 

 

Things we can do:

Trike (~1h berry tame for low lvl)

Anky (~2h berry tame for low lvl) (6:30 for 150)

Argent (30 min mutton for low lvl, 2h meat)

Bronto (2h 30 min berry tame for low lvl)

Iguanadon (2h berry tame for 150)

Megatherium (2h mutton tame for 150)

Direbear (2h mutton tame for 150)

Moschops

Dodos → pteras (lvl 38) → quetz (Best possible time: ~3h)

Dodos → pteras (lvl 38) → giga (Best possible time: ~3h) (a 150 with mutton takes 3400 narcoberries over 3h time, which is very doable with a trike)

(note that since the hp is so high, the risk of someone ruining it’s taming efficiency or killing it is rather low, can be starvetamed with mutton)

Dilos                   

oil → Jerky         Kibbletamed anky (citronals is chokepoint, reasonable time: ~24h)

Citronals             

Xbows → megalosaurus → kibbletamed Theris (takes 39 megalo eggs, so chokepoint is RNG egg laying, roughly 3h active work, 2 days waiting)

Scorps → kibbletamed rex (33 eggs, so once again RNG, roughly 3 days?)

Mutton → direwolf (53 min tame with mutton)

Raptor → mammoth (54 eggs for a 150, so all about RNG egg laying)

dodos → Oviraptor (~124 eggs for a lvl 30) (or 1 giga egg if we rush giga)

 Pachy → Paracer (70 eggs for a 150, so RNG)

Fert. Dodo Eggs → Titanboa (No taming info now) → Thyla 

Mutton → Thyla (225 mutton for a 150, and 7h tame) (not worth)

Phiomia → Plant species X (level 36) - 100 stone, 80 wood, 60 fiber, 40 thatch each making it somewhat massproducable

Auto turrets (lvl 68) - 50 cp (beaver dams, 20 poly (penguins?), 210 metal & 210 pearls - expensive but essential in base defense - question is wether to farm for them right away or get a quetz first

Chitin armor (lvl 37) - 82 chitin per set makes it massproducable if we get a caveclearing dino (preferably a megatherium)

Flak armor (lvl 56) - 53 metal per set - massproducable once we get a quetz/anky - too expensive to do anything except defend base with before that

Resources:

Oil:

Central Rivers (47.5,57.5) - few nodes, earlygame

South & north snow - Good amount, midgame

SE/Rag - lategame

Silica pearls:

Central rivers - few clams, earlygame

Underworld - decent amount, hard to farm due to mantas

Ocean - lategame

Obsidian:

Skull island

Lava island

Tiny amount beneath floating island

Tiny amount in UW

Tiny amount on tropical south. 

XP for lvl 64:

(if we use toilet/xp potion/notes it’ll be even faster)

120 explorer notes without dying

240 explorer notes with deaths between each

3231 storage boxes

1286 wooden foundations

15k wooden signs

3-32 alpha raptors (depending on lvl) (x2 if on a dino)

2 - 19 alpha carnos  (depending on lvl) (x2 if on a dino)

1 - 10 alpha rexes   (depending on lvl) (x2 if on a dino)

4 deathworms (x2 if on a dino)

1 alpha deathworms (x2 if on a dino)

 

Once we have a grinder (lvl 64) we can grind wood for xp. 2 wood = 1xp so if we have a theri and quetz we’ll be able to boost a player to lvl 96 for platform saddle in no time.

lvl 96 = 2167076wood ~ 22k stacks = 73 slotcaps ← a LOT of farming, should have a team constantly farming wood, and only using the wood that’s not going into the forges for xp

possible starting spots:

Above/in jungle cave

http://imgur.com/a/1IOSd

+     Lots of resources (metal, crystal, beaver dams, obsidian, megalosaurus, scorpion)

+     Big area easily locked up with spikes at the few entrances

-       Not too easily defendable, especially against flyers and gigas

-       Close to a lot of beginner spawns

Above flyer entrance to uw:

http://imgur.com/a/nXDaD

+     Lots of resources (metal, crystal, beaver dams, obsidian)

+     possible dino storage in uw (can’t get them out without transmitter though)

+     Big area easily locked up with spikes at the only entrance

-       Not a skybase, but easier to defend than above jungle cave

Ruins near water entrance to uw:

http://imgur.com/a/qooka

+     Easy to defend, small entrances which denies attacks with large dinos such as gigas

+     Close to oil and silica pearls

-       Further from obsidian (Skull Island would be closest spot)

-       Might be a popular spot (close to a lot of beginner spawns)

Redwood

+     Far away from everyone

+     Possible skybase

+     Close to the best metal and crystal spawns

-       Far away from many important dino spawns

-       Extremely rough start, almost essential to get flyers first

Main objective

A large and defendable metal base with lots of turrets and a good stock of supplies

Secondary objectives

Kibble dinos

Farming outposts - wood/meat/fiber/berries, metal/crystal, obsidian, organic, flint, talons/element

Boss rexes

Start focused on rapid growth

+    Very fast progression, will allow for massfarming/taming within 2-3 days

-      Too much focus on making progress will cause the base to fall behind leaving it vulnerable for attacks during low hours first few days

Step 1

Main team tames 20+ dodos

Main team builds an outpost

Main team tames trike

 

Main team crafts medium crop plots and plants citronals (3+ since growth is RNG-based)

 

Step 2

Small team 1 goes to Rag and collects hundreds of Rockarrots

Main team starts collecting metal and craft tools, including tranq arrows.

Small team 2 takes metal picks and goes to collect oil in the rivers (also 85+ pearls for quetz saddle) ← for jerky

Small team 3 makes tranq arrows, bolas and knocks out high level pteras

 

Step 3

Main team starts stocking up on crossbows, arrows, bolas, parachutes, flak, clubs?,

Small team 1 and 3 crafts dodo kibble and tames the pteras

 

Step 4

Small team 1 and 3 continues to tame pteras

Medium team 2 starts leveling the first pteras in stamina while simultaneously wiping the Bobs, avoid major tribes but note their progress and location. If big threat discuss sending in main team to wipe them

Medium team 2 also collects CP from all the beaver dam locations (using bolas! no risking the pteras) <-- continually farm it every 30 min or so

Main team tames 20+ dilos (we need 32 dilo eggs once citronals are done by ~H12 depending on luck)

 

Step 5 (needs to test if taming quetzals with pteras is plausible)

Medium team 2 tames any quetz they find using the pteras <-- at least 5 man sitting at the quetz at all times

Small team goes to Rag and farms mutton when the quetzals are almost done starving

 

Step 6 (basically until citronals are done)

(Medium team 1 clears south jungle cave and tames any megalosauruses and dung beetles found)  IF main team big enough to produce the gear needed in time!

Main team tames important kibble dinos (priority: scorp > kairuku > pachys > turtles)

Tiny team tames lystro

Main team tames Oviraptor (IF enough dodo eggs)

Main team can use quetzal for taming IF supported by pteras for safety ← Requires one play over lvl 76 for saddle

Main team muttontames any quetzal and giga they find

Main team finds and starves high lvl anky

 

Step 7 (roughly 10-13h in depending on luck with citronal growth) (preferably have a player lvl 80+ by now)

Main team tames the anky and immediatelly starts farming metal with it and the best weightquetz (save flint)

Small team makes a small and hidden sap farm (optional, probably not important enough)

Small team collects more silica pearls

Small team farms organic poly

Main team uses metal from first few runs to craft turret boxes and make the base metal - (Charcoal -> woodfarming dino?)

Main team spams plant X around base

 

Step 8 (24h in)

We should now have:

Metal base with decent turret coverage

Kibbletamed anky

At least one quetzal

A kibble farm producing kibble for: Theris, rexes, brontos, paracers, turtles and anglers

I ain't giving my ideas for a PvP start lol

But good post, gives some info per example the XP.

I agree with you on this one, No one in their right mind would give out their plans for the PvP slaughter that is coming

But the long and short of it will be that the largest of tribes will pick their servers and KoS anyone not them for about the first 3 months. Good luck playing on the new servers.

^ I don't know why people are so excited, tribes of less than 20 members will never succes, because there will always be tribes with more members and allies.
