(Official, Valguero) Stopped feeding Generous (as in, no personal feeding, trough-only now) because I'm seriously swimming in obsidian now and don't need any more, won't need any more for a long time, in fact. So now only Schedraya gets food put directly in her inventory - metal is always useful, and I go through it pretty quickly. Bred them, just to see what resources the baby will make. Hope for something neat. Bred the velonasaurs, too, the baby is female. Will raise her later. Unpodded Frosty (the second owl) and still-nameless female tek rex to raise them, also, Deimos is an absolute monster of a meatrunner. Podded Diablo because I'm not doing any more giga breeding anytime soon so he doesn't have to occupy space and waste meat right now. Unpodded and killed all the 70% melee giga babies I accumulated. By the way, their hitboxes are kinda weird - I only managed to hit them about half the time despite standing right in front of them. That's all for now.

Gacha was born. Female, Obsidian/Congealed Gas Balls. Not cool enough. Killed it.
(Official, Extinction) Logged on to check on the dinos, looked at the tribe log, noticed that there isn't anything about that mana that floated off dying, so I made a saddle and grabbed a pod and went to check. And she was there! But I forgot the saddle in the smithy. Went back, then again to the mana, saddled her up, landed, Rose was unable to follow me because too fast, so rode the mana to The City, reched my base, podded mana, took Horus, went back for Rose, and then, finally, uploaded the mana.
(Official, Valguero) Retrieved the mana. Named her Luna. Pretty fun to ride, and it turns out my previous, confusing and extremely laggy, experience of riding a mana (when I was in the passenger seat, being brought back home after my first ever trade) wasn't representative of how it actually goes - a wild-tame with no points put in speed is actually pretty fun!

Read about manas a bit, saw that their breeding times are manageable, unlike those of some other species that give live birth, so they're actually suitable for me to breed with only minimal missed and starved babies and/or intentionally podded mothers because I just don't feel like that. I mean, 4 hours gestation? I can stay that long in the game with no problem! So I uploaded some kibble, mats for the saddle (don't feel like harvesting them on Ext), and a cryopod and logged off Valguero to instead log on with my side-survivor on...
...(Official, Extinction). I grabbed the stuff, made the saddle (didn't forget to actually take it with me this time!) and went to the ice dome. Spent quite some time searching for an alright level male that's stuck in the air. Killed a bunch of stuff, including inferior manas.
And I found him! Well, he was only level 85, but that's the best I found. Plus he was stuck high enough to be safe from anything non-aerial, but low enough to give me plenty of time to saddle him up once tamed. So I tranqed him, tamed him, saddled him up (first try! ), mounted him (5 or 6 tries. ), landed, podded, got on Rose's back , went to The City, uploaded him at the nearest terminal, returned to the base and logged off. Also, wrote down his base health, melee, stam and weight, because I didn't write down Luna's so those are extra-important for future breeding.
