Made a roof on part of my dino pen, and then build a bird cage on top. But holy poop, its difficult to make something that is not a wooden box.. Could have probably build this twice if i did everything right the first time What you see at the ground lvl is the first dino pen i ever made. I learned some things from that3 points

PS4 - private server - Ragnarok After waiting a few hours for the download to finish, I jumped on for a short bit, to see if I could spot any of the new colors or the tek Stego. After about 10 minutes of flying around on my Fire Wyvern, I found a level 168 Tek Stego female. Wonderful green body with red. I grabbed her and dropped her off in one of my taming pens. I knocked her out, then flew over to one of my crop plots to grab some veggies as I don't have any sarco kibble on this server. Then I crafted up a saddle and painted in all black She stood up at 251, I rode her for a bit to collect berries and level up a bit, and then I dropped her off at the main base. Then I called it a night.3 points

CrossArkCluster1 - Ragnarok I finally managed to bring everything over from my tribe's main base on The Center to my new outpost on Ragnarok. Indy Forge, Chem Bench, Fab, Genny, turrets etc. My plan was to keep it all in a small and remote location until I sufficiently scouted out the server to see if my preferred building locations were uninhabited. Praise Talos, because my #1 preferred spot was the Castle, and it was empty! With the exception of a few random sleeping bags, campfires and spike walls that I had to clear out first ;). I talked to the Alpha's (in which i've conducted many trade deals with, and am personal friends of) and got full permission to build there. I only asked because they have a monstrous 3 behemoth-gate-high base within rendering distance of the Castle. Apparently it was an old Wyvern pen that got abandoned after the 100 turret limit. So far i'm REALLY digging the Castle though! Gives me a nice ES4 - Oblivion feel. And it's nice that they made the rubble farm-able for stone, so I don't have to have piles of junk lying around in my new home. I plan to throw down my crafting stations and secure a room with turrets so that I can start working to get this dirt mound looking proper. So many ideas! And there is a nice beaver spawn nearby for CP, as well as small Bee Nests near the base of the Castle for bears (my tribe loves bears). It's gonna be a nice project.2 points

A lot has happened since the last time I wrote here. I'll tell the more interesting one I think. I started playing more actively again on our Aberration server, but it was basically only me playing and I got bored of being alone (I blame my friends for introducing me to online multiplayer... I was fine sticking to my single player games, but now I want to play with others). Also, after watching some youtube videos, I got a craving to play on Ragnarok again, as the map wasn't finished when we played on it before. With this in mind, I went to check the server advertisement section of the forum and found an active, unofficial PvE cluster that sounded like a good fit for me. I've been playing on this cluster for a week and half now I think and I'm liking it so far. I started on Ragnarok, in one of the easy areas. Tamed a 140 lystro that was walking around in front of me and set off to build my starting shack. One thing I noticed immediately that separated the cluster from an official server, was the lack of 1x1 thatch huts littering the beaches. Instead you had either proper bases, or just a pristine beach (they have rules about cleaning up after yourself, which I like). I made my shack and tamed a bunch of animals (dodos, dilos, trikes) and had a good time puttering around, killing every dastardly seagull I could. My friends got curious and decided to join as well, so we now have a small tribe on the cluster. Of course, two of my said friends have pretty much stopped playing, so it's just me and S playing atm. At least now, if she also stops, I can join another tribe and don't have to feel all alone anymore. My plans on this cluster is to do things a bit differently. I want to tame things I haven't tamed before (like tuso) and use tames I haven't used as much such as wolves, sabers, raptors etc. Basically, I won't breed any rexes/theriz and instead buy fert eggs for boss fights. I also won't use said rexes/theriz other than for boss fights and instead stick to smaller tames with argents as the highest tiered tame. I haven't decided yet how to go about collecting wyvern eggs, because I want wyverns even if they'll only be base decoration. I might use a wyvern for it when I get one, but we'll see. Also, I want to do all the caves, bosses and ascension on all difficulty levels, which I still haven't done all of. Hopefully, it'll be fun to try and accomplish this. As of now, we only lack a fiber/thatch gatherer as we have all the other essential tames. I've started looking for dimorphodons for caving, but haven't had much luck so far. Tamed a 140 male, but he got hit so I lost some levels on him unfortunately. I'm going to breed the dimos I thought, mainly because I haven't before and because I can. I'll continue to look for more dimos today and also to keep an eye out for tek stegos and event coloured creatures. This is our small base, which I call small as dino gates are the largest gates that will be used in it: I just realized that the breeding building is not on any of the images, but oh well.2 points

My day is not so grand as Im still new to the game. I logged on quickly before I left for work this morning to check on my first baby dino. Alas, it had starved to death during the night, poor little thing. On a positive note, it now leaves me free to start my first ever raft voyage of exploration. I was going to head West and North from the Footpaw but was advised that an Easterly trip along the South would be safer. Im hoping to bag my first Raptor along the way. I have a saddle ready and plan to ride it home and then use a sleeping bag to return to my raft. Im looking forward to my trip immensely.2 points

Started today off doing a little pearl farming on SE. Then we decided we should hop over to the island and finally try to finish the wall around our base. We have been putting it off for weeks and it needs to get done. So we start out by gathering stone wood and thatch. While gathering my wife spots a 217 female bronto with a cool pattern on the beach so we decide to trap it and tame it While it was taming we continued work on the wall. I noticed a glowing bone pile so I picked it up and it had an ascendent bronto platform saddle bp...kind of cool to get since we were currently taming a bronto. So the bronto finishes taming and stands up with 20k hp. We manage to finish the back wall and half of a side before we had to go to work. Tomorrow we will continue work on the wall and also start organizing dinos. Its a complete mess now, its been a while since we put anything back, lol Heres the bronto2 points

Personally, I suggest getting well acquainted with the Redwood's and the ABUNDANCE of metal there. It usually takes me about 2 hours to fill 4 Industrial Forges with metal on Official in the Redwoods.1 point

Not much today. Quickly jumped on to check out the new update and to take my new fire wyvern out for a spin. Saw a drop dead gorgeous blue rex and a blue allo, just a pity they were such low levels. Might need to start hunting for otters again to get a nice blue one and maybe even strike lucky for the dream blue fire wyvern. Pity we only have a week of these colours.1 point

My wife usually watches myself and my brothers play Ark, but has recently become interested in actually playing. She watched me breed a few Rex's and really wanted to help with that and building, so I let her play for a few hours. She now loves the game, so I bought her an Xbox this morning. She joined my server and I went with her to explore both Ragnarok and the Island. Showed her some basics and put her to work breeding some Rex's. Happy I could get her hooked on this game (she's also shown an interest in State of Decay 2.) She's going to our Island server tomorrow to continue construction on our base there.1 point

I hopped on single player and continued construction on my velociraptor pen. I also tweaked the parking spot for my log cabin and started building an underwater research lab. You know, the usual. What about everyone else?1 point

Yes, that all black Allo is awesome! I've always wanted one myself. So last night I was flying around the map looking for my 2nd ever Tek Rex. After not having any luck, I farmed some beaver dams, and ground out some resources to make 3 shark saddles, using the new MC saddle BP i got. I needed 3, because a 135 female spawned near my water pen, and I decided to tame it, when it got stuck in the shallows. Then while swimming it back to the water pen, I noticed we were being followed by another shark. I wasn't worried, as I figured I would kite it to the pen, and let my other sharks and 150 pre-tame Mosa have a snack. Well it wasn't until I had already open the pen gates, that the red glow around the shark appeared! I don't know how I didn't notice the alpha glow earlier, but now I had a fight on my hands. Thankfully Quintessa was able to finish it off. But then I had some healing to do, so I took Ghost Pepper my fire wyvern out to farm up some meat to feed the pig, while he healed everyone. Well, I was nearly full with meat, when I decided to check over the next hill, to grab just a bit more meat. and there I saw it ....... a Tek Rex.... and a level 180! I did not know anything could get above 150 (besides Wyverns, and cave baddies) Luckily this Rex was very close to a base of mine, so I flew over, crafted up some dino gates, and built a trap. I then kited the Tek Rex right to the trap..... or so I thought. At the last second, the Rex veered off, and went around the trap, and started chomping on my Wyvern who was on passive. After about 5 shots, the Rex, turned around, and looked at me, just then a Gallimimus ran between us, and the rex went after it. I ran over to my Wyvern, and flew him to safety. Then I ran back and started shooting the rex again, as he was eating something. This time he came right at me, and I swear he was faster than a normal rex, but I managed to get him in the trap, with him only getting 1 bite into me. From there it was easy street. He stood up at level 269, and I named him Miracle. He has yellow tek highlights, so I made a black with yellow highlights saddle, and rode him to my closest gated base. I then flew back on a Ptera, and grabbed my wyvern, while the Ptera followed. then I called it a night. Saturday I played some more, and had some close calls, but I'll leave that to another posting.1 point

Had a busy day today. Jumped to the island right off to do some taming. Started out looking for a male megasloth in the snow biome and tamed 2 wolves in the process, a 142 male and 195 female. Continued searching and tamed a 180 male mammoth as well. We soon gave up on looking for sloths in the snow and headed to the redwoods. After about 20 minutes my wife spotted a 180 male. I had the trap so i caught up to her, we trapped it and tranqed it, then surrounded it with dino gates. On the way to it I spotted a 217 thylo on the shoreline. Went back to grab it and it was dead, it somehow drowned :(. So we left the megasloth to starve and we headed back to base to grab honey when we spotted a sheep on the way. Killed it for mutton instead. Got back to the sloth at dark and tamed it on mutton. Noticed a green drop nearby so we headed to it to upload the sloth. Got the the beacon which was in shallow water, took the saddle off the sloth and all heck broke loose. A carno comes up and starts chomping me. At the same time a pack of pirahnas starts attaking the sloth who was not on neutral. My wife was on her argent with mine following trying to help without hitting the water. I get to where I could stand and pump the carno full of lead. Then i run to the sloth, pop the saddle back on and kill the piranahs. Finally get him uploaded just as the drop finishes. Next I run to shore to hop on my bird and get attacked by dilos and troodons. Its pitch black, Im blinded so I start spinning around blasting my shotgun at everything while trying not to hit our argents and finally kill everything and somehow not get knocked out, hop on my bird and head home, lol We get back to base, i fix my armor, make more shells and we relax for a few minutes. Daylight breaks and we go on another hunt and come across a pack of allos, 1 being an all black 195 female. So we throw together a quick taming pen, kite them all in, snipe her 2 mates from afar and tranq her. Run back to base and had just enough diplo eggs to tame her. Get her tamed, bring her back to base. Then tame an event turtle before uploading the wolves and heading back to SE with the sloth too The rest of today we plan on breeding the wolves and sloths. Tomorrow we plan on hunting for more things to tame, my #1 goal is to find a high level male to breed with that all black allo, it looks so sweet.1 point

Last night we bred our sabres and got 1 male. No mutations but the biggest thing I wanted was the imprint. We will probably breed them again so my wife gets an imprinted one too. Todays main goal was building a chemistry bench, and after a run to the dunes for organic polly and chitin we were able to make it. Tomorrows main plan is to hope over to the island to do some taming, thezios, tek rex, allos, and whales are our top priority but we will also be on the lookout for any cool event dinos. We will also spend a little time on SE looking for a 200+ mate for our megasloth and a 200+ male wolf so we can start breeding them as well1 point

Today we started by doing a meat run to prepare for breeding our sabres tonight. Then we continued work on the wall on the cliff above us and got it about 75% complete. While working on it we noticed a lvl 90 argent nearby and decided to tame it. While the argent starved we did a little metal run. We are working towards building a chemistry bench and indy forge. After the argent tamed up I noticed our s+ plant x had finally finished growing. Took 2 or 3 real life days and that was with 300% greenhouse effect with s+ glass ceilings, i forgot crops take forever to grow on SE. So I removed the glass and set them to only target wild argents, wyvrens and vultures. Then I did a test run by kiting an argent over. They took it out fairly quick but I think a wyvren may get an attack or 2 in before getting taken out, so we planted 4 more s+ plant x. Before logging we did a crystal/obsidian run in the nearby crystal cave. So tonight we are going to breed the sabres and tomorrow we will work on the wall and continue gathering for the forge and chemistry bench. I think we are going to spend some time on the island this weekend taming event dinos and doing some housekeeping and maybe taming some thezios to slowly start getting ready for the dragon fight. I also really want to tame a few whales and start doing more ocean exploration1 point

I was trying to steal a wyvern egg on SE for the first time (I have around 700 hours on Ark but have never really gotten around to this) on classic flyers singleplayer, on and Argy that I had tamed at level 8 and gotten up to level 80 using explorer notes. 200%+ movement speed, around 1800 stamina, 900 HP... it was not enough. I got 4 wyverns (two poison, one lightning and one fire) to chase me out of the scar because there were like 40 in one spot. Then I flew over a small ruin in the Dunes to try to get them stuck and aggro the Arthropleura, Titanoboa, etc. And then, just because Ark hates me and the universe is all against me, an explorer note pops up in my face. I frantically try to press the X in the top right, but too late. The lightning wyvern shreds half the health off my Argy and the stupid dumb idiotic fire wyvern burns me. At this point I am squealing and my little brother is looking over while he's playing Fortnite. I must have been making quite a racket. My argent has a sliver of health when the 'Enflamed' HUD icon in the top right disappears. But then, just for lols, the burning just ticks once more and my argent falls to the floor, dead. I fall also and die of the fall damage. FML! I respawn at my base (at around 67, 50) and run into my house to check what I need for a kangaroo saddle. I had just tamed one but was desperate for a wyvern so i didn't get around to making a saddle. I needed 9 pelt and 500 hide. Hide is annoying to get around my base so I groaned. (Oh yeah for some reason I can get between 50 - 120 hide from a single Jerboa and around 60 - 80 hide from a Parasaur or Morellatops. Like, what?!) I went on a killing spree with my Raptor and eventually got enough hide for the kangaroo saddle. After an intense journey through the mountains and across the Dunes, I arrived at my dead Argy who died for me. I am twelve years old, and that almost makes me cry.0 points
