Hey guys,
it's been a while, but I've accomplished a few things. I took on a daily routine to check the swamp where I had last seen a Dimet, since I really need one to do any breeding. It's simply too hot in my area and temperature is sometimes a bit random (i.e. jumping up or down rather than changing). And electricity is still a far way to go. So it's got to be a Dimet. Those guys unfortunately don't live in the friendliest environments and they aren't the most frequent, either. First attempt failed, as I had told you the other day. Well... seeing that place regularly did help and eventually I found one of those guys. Not a high-level one, but I don't think that's very critical since it's only got to sit and adjust the temperature. They can't do anything else, really This time I managed to swoop in with my argy and grab it. I was so happy - it feels like I'm hunting the 3-D forever without success (Doedi, Dimet and Daeodon) and finally things started to change. I dropped it off at my taming pen and tamed it up easily. And finally I have an option to breed. I still need to build a lot to really get into it, but at least my eggs aren't spoiling any more. So that was the other day.
This time I had to gather resources first. Took forever, but I restocked some important resources. There's always a tough grind around the corner with this game. I've noticed quite happily that changing my trikes from almost low-level to high level did have a nice impact on farming thatch and berries, berries now coming in in hundreds and I have to unload them every couple of seconds. Nice. Well, after that was done I pondered to call it a day or do something more fun than just grinding. I went for the fun part and decided to take my air-force towards the snow-biome in the hope of finding a Daeodon. I don't think you find them anywhere else on the map. So another long journey, but with a few nice sights in between. I was passing the volcano and witnessed a Rex taking an Anky apart. Poor thing. I was inclined to join the battle in defense of the anky, but I couldn't see anything through my spyglass, since my two accompanying flyers kept moving into the line of sight. So I hesitated and the fight was over in a matter of moments. I don't think I could have changed anything and I haven't taken on any Rex, yet, so it would have been a very dangerous mission. Better safe than sorry. Not far from that scene I came upon a Doedi being harrassed by a Scorpio. Now that could be changed. The Scorpio fell to my air force within seconds and the Doedi was free to roam the volcano again. Well... not quite. I decided to take him with me and give him the best care I could afford. No more dangerous Carnivores around him. Just those nice grey stone it delights to play with. So cool. Another "to-do" that stuck with me forever finally accomplished. Yeah. I'm happy. No desasters this time and some major accomplishments.
Hope you're having fun, too!
Eleusius.
