Last night I had the perfect oppourtunity to get a good chunk of time in, I had to go over to my parent's house to watch their dog while they were gone for the night - wife free gaming! After work I get here, set up my box all guiddy to play....there was a windstorm (bad one) and it blew out the internet here.
Crap! I decide to not let it damper the night and hopped on single player Ext. For a bit. I managed to spawn near the terminals so I marked it on my map. I brought over a griff from my SP rag, just as I found the terminals and start to get some progress down the net comes back on !
I immidiatly hop off SP onto the server. As i spawn in (which I figured out where @AngrySaltire - "The Trench") I get together some mats, mine some metal, fortify my outpost and make some narcotics for my first tame. Theres a level 35 iguanadon around my outpost so i knocked it out and tamed it. Used the Iguana to get a bunch more narcs going then I decided im going to try to run to the terminals (since I marked them on SP - it was only 10 longitude away!!) I venture off for my shott journey to the terminals..
... Two hours later. This is when I find out im in "The Trench", they werent kidding. I finally make it to the terminals. On the way I found @AngrySaltire's city base and I set up not too far from it, close to the terminals.
I pulled out an imprinted rock drake, karkinos, doed, anky, roll rat (didnt have a spare beaver) one of my mutated ravagers, a breeding pair of therizinos and 4 dimorphodons. I had a few behemoth gates so i set up my small base inside some sort of psudo cave like spot near the terminals. After getting the tames safely inside I ventured out for a mats run to start building. Quite eventful, slayed a few enforcers and defence units. Mined a bunch of lampposts (seems weird to say) and built a small hut inside the cave with a upper floor to park my fliers and drake.
I head over to Ragnarok to grab a few tames (griff and argy) plus a bunch of mats. While im there I made up 10 behe gate sets to make an outer storage area for my base. After all sorted I popped back, placed my gates and spent a few hours exploring, farming and building
Now im back on and the plan is to expand my spot and fill it with all the goodies a base needs.
Damn you Ark, im back.
