ARK is love. ARK is life.

Caught a Tek Rex today. Giant cluster mess in the swamp. Set up a 4x3 trap, 3 high. Went to aggro it, and instead got 2 snakes, a croc with large back legs and a sarco. Ran circles around the trap until the adds were dead. I was about 95% sure those snakes were going to put me to sleep and I was going to be a rex dinner. Turned my attention back to the rex. She wouldn't go in the trap, so I said screw it and went in myself and just shot her from inside while she was outside. She finally went down, loaded her full of meat and narcs, though I didn't need to use any narcs. While she was sleeping, I cleared a path back to my hut removing trees and rocks. Went back and guarded her until she was tame and took her home to stand guard by my thatch hut.

(Official, Valguero) Pearl is fully grown now, so I podded Schedraya. Her place and her saddle are Pearl's now. For now Pearl is set to produce crystal, and I already got plenty from her. Demolished troughs I used to raise Pearl. Restacked meat in Phobos' troughs and put his saddle into his inventory, as he's only 10 hours from being fully grown. (Official, Extinction) Fed the dinos. (Official, Crystal Isles) Refreshed the base. (Official, Valguero again) Couldn't sleep, so logged on again. Spent a lot of time looking for a male doed with a nice spike color to breed to my female with nice everything else colors. And found one! Level 150, light green spikes, same as female's spot color. Rest of him is green and red, so I named him Festive (perfectly tamed on kibble, by the way). And now I'm watching Phobos' maturation percentage slowly climb to 100%, so that I'll be there to slap a saddle on him the moment he's grown... At least that was the plan until a disconnect happened at 99.9%. So unless it's a crash with a few minutes rollback, I'll miss the exact moment Phobos becomes a fully grown giga and instead will have to just log in to him being already adult which is cool, sure, but just doesn't feel as special. ... Took Phobos out for some leveling and generally testing what he's capable of. Found a level 55 alpha rex - easy! Would be easier if it stood still instead of running all over the place, but alpha rexes don't really do the whole "actually paying attention to the opponent and fighting properly" thing. Brontos - easy! No one-bite kills on them, but four bites for a level 20 is not bad in my opinion. Hyaenodons - whole pack with a single bite! Deimos can't do that, always need to chase some because he only one-bites the weakest, but Phobos eats them all in one go. Rock elementals - killed a level 85 and a level 20. Didn't count when fighting 85, but for level 20 it was 21 bite before it was dead. Also, doed gave birth, the baby is female, colors right except dark green spots instead of light green ones, but still looks good.
