butthead Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Admittedly, I have been wanting to play as an early human on Ark and as a result I ended up role-playing as a Homo Erectus. I removed many engrams except for the few primitive ones to simulate the daily struggle for survival with nothing but wooden sticks, a fire and thatch shelters. I have also reduced the XP multiplier setting to 0.25 to make mundane achievements more rewarding. This thread is all about sharing the role-playing idea so other people can take on the Homo Erectus challenge! Are you up for it? With limited engrams available, can you climb your way to the top of the food chain? :::YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO USE THE FOLLOWING ENGRAMS::: Level 1= Stone Pick, Torch Level 2= Campfire, Stone Hatchet, Spear Level 4= Hide Sleeping Bag, Thatch Foundation, Thatch Doorframe, Thatch Ceiling, Thatch Wall Level 5= Sloped Thatch Wall Left, Sloped Thatch Wall Right, Sloped Thatch Roof Level 7= Simple Bed, Standing Torch Level 8= Wooden Club Level 9= Bola Level 13= Wooden Spike Wall Level 16= Rope Ladder, Wooden Raft XP MULTIPLIER SETTING= 0.1 to 0.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueberryJackal Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Not even a bow and arrows? Thats a bit lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butthead Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 There isn't enough sufficient evidence that archery was used when Homo Erectus lived, although if they did have bows and arrows they would have decomposed pretty fast so its possible that Homo Erectus did invent archery multiple times and only remained as a small-scale technology. You can have bows and arrows if you'd like, is what I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covenantgrunt Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Bow and arrow were a strictly H. Sapiens invention. Even Neanderthals did not have them. So it would be grossly inaccurate to make the engrams available in H. Erectus roleplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d1nk Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Interesting. What would be the goal besides RP? Most self imposed rulesets have a common endgame goal: Get to bosses / industrial tier / good blueprint stage without (for eg. No fliers, only mammals, etc) Obviously there's none of that here.. would you do a set goal or ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacira Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I've been to Mardi Gras a couple of times, I'm all about that homo erectus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it would be a good idea to change settings other than XP multiplier to make the game harder, otherwise I cannot think of any goal in particular other than personal goals like killing and taming large dinosaurs, building a fleet of rafts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
