Ermerus Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Personally I have to say that it was really interesting before the modification of the dossier but now it's simply... BEAUTIFUL, you can see that you put passion into the description, even if I saw some very small imperfections but who cares, not to mention the taming I see both really interesting and unique. The funny thing is that both of our creatures are familiar with sandstorms. Keep it up man!!!!👌😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xalkyrr Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 This is exactly what you need for traversing the desert safely. I love it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltaTM Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Love this idea! I also have a suggestion that would make this dinosaur more worthwhile: - WINDBREAKER: on standard conditions, the Moa is unable to fly and merely resorts to gliding in a way that resembles the terror-bird; however, amidst a sandstorm, it should be able to flow with the wind, in a similar way to what a rock drake does. This would make the Moa the king of the desert whenever climate is on its favour, he would be an absolute nightmare to fight in the sands of scorched earth.

ApocalypseGal Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I adore this idea. Its so fun and I would really like to see this in game, such a fun way to traverse and I really like the utility roles that it offers!! we need more utility and fun dinos like this. 🥰 I hope it makes it into the game 🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moas didn't even have any visible wings or arms. I don't even see the gliding suggestion like the terrorbird, more so lessening the fall with all that fluff. Would be funny though seeing a giant emu Iron Maning through the sandstorms of Scorched Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyGremlin Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I just love this idea for being simple, well thought out, and creative. Surprising how there's 3 unique weather events on Scorched Earth yet the only creature able to interact, somewhat, with them is the jerboa. It's one of those concepts I see having a very high chance for Wildcard just to copy and paste into the game, that is if the Moa wins.

katann77573 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) So glad to see that it has lots of votes now. This critter will be very helpful indeed. I love the taming of the Moa{except for the sandstorm part). Edited April 10, 2023 by katann77573 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they can fluff their feathers out to slow their fall, like a rubbish parachute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugi Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 personally i would recommend their feathers and strong legs greatly reduce fall damage instead of a glide it seems a bit more reasonable and would work as an interesting passive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkBait2021 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I absolutely love this idea. I'm tired of getting end game level creatures. Some of the earliest tames have so much more personality in em, and I see potential with this lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shemmings Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Please give us the giant moa!! Absolutely love the idea of its taming method! Every idea suggested for its utilities sound amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somes Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 The only issue I have with this submission is the added taming in sandstorm mechanic. It will make it forced to Scorched and well...its not my favorite map because of the storms. The idea is ok but I really will not find it "fun" to tame in a sandstorm...it will actually become annoying. I like difficulty but if its obnoxious than I usually pass on the tame. Also, if I wanted to add the code for it to spawn on other maps that do not have the sandstorms than I can not tame it. Not all of us can afford to run clustered servers. At the end of the day, I guess modders can change those things for those reasons but it could be said the other way around as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somes Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Going to work on making this an easier read and add/remove some stuff. Updated it a little with taming and breeding stuff in the current form now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katann77573 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I do hope you merge the two because I love both of these big birds and voted for both of them. I do like the helping the adults to claim the baby just not fan of doing it in a sandstorm. Humans take damage in the storm and I would be sad if I died in the middle of taming this cool critter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FentScifer Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I have suggestions for the abilities compare to the main submission. 1. I think the platform will be too much for a fast travel creature. Generally, a platform comes with a high weight stat. The Moa is better suited for medium weight as it uses weight reduction. Instead, a saddle that has a built-in tent (protection from weather) and act as a mortar and pestle will be more appropriate in my opinion. That will also avoid to manage several inventories for a transport tame. 2. The incubation is already well done by the incubator and affordable. The bonus of a creature that incubates will be the mobility. So I propose that the ability of the Moa will be to recover the egg health. It will still help the incubation process as it will allow mistakes with eggs. And the ability to travel fast will help to try different places for the incubation. And when the egg hatch, a procoptodon (present on SE) can take the baby back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelz Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 dear FATDOG I like your creature but... I think you are leaving it too easy to WILDCARD... I would like a much more difficult creature to make both visually and aesthetically... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why on my Elephant Bird version I made multi role saddles. Which is also great for RP. Updated my submission adding mounted combat.
