Still working on it, I'm just very focused and don't play the game much these days. Here's a few shots of the first cave (not 100% finished)

Dunno about your thoughts on how well it swims, that's gonna be a 'let's see' for me, but as for water, there's plenty of water we can see at the bottom of the trench, which by my guess, is pretty big. Not to mention, they're giving us the canoe, and specifically said when they revealed it that 'they wouldn't give us the canoe if we weren't going to be able to use it' (or something like that), which heavily implies the existence of a water biome. Something doesn't need a reason to evolve. 'Evolution' is simply the process of natural selection, and that happens all on its own, ahem, naturally. It spread normally already, and once it spread enough, it got a name. And, for the record, we don't know the origin of Element or Corruption. For all we know, Corruption may be a creature from another planet and element was its method of reproduction. It shot Element into space and some of it ended up here and began to grow. After a certain point, there was enough of it for Corruption to take form here. On the other hand, Element could just be a thing that exists, and Corruption could be a freak occurrence on Earth. We don't know which came first or how it 'evolved', all we can do at this point is guess on that. As for why normal element is effective against it... Why are normal bombs effective against nuclear bombs? Or bombs from another country? Why are firewalls, one type of program, effective against viruses, another program? It's all about how it's used. Normal element doesn't have any kind of repulsive effect against Corruption, the only time we see anything like that is when the Arks start purging Earth of Corruption, and with it, all Element too. Even this is just one specific occurrence, so I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to ask with that. What do you mean melting it made it Corrupted? The only time I can remember anything similar was Rockwell melting down the Element gathered by Santiago's team and removing the impurities, but in this case it was just him melting it down to make it easier to remove those impurities and get a pure, raw Element, instead of the refined stuff that the tribe had in storage. Why did it call to Rockwell... Still not a bad question. Rockwell is the only person that Element has seemingly called out to like that. Maybe it was something about Rockwell himself, maybe he could just tell by looking at if and the pulses it gave that it truly was an incredible material. Or maybe it is all connected. Element certainly has the ability to connect to other pieces of element over vast distances (see: Corrupted hivemind) so it's not out of the question that every piece of Element is connected to every other piece. Or maybe refined Element has an entirely separate 'network' from Corruption, who knows. But, if something was calling out to Rockwell, it would have to be because that something recognized Rockwell to be a highly intelligent person and wanted Rockwell on its side, possibly to regroup or help the Corruption on Earth? No one knows right now, maybe he'll talk to us some more in Gen2 or the Chronicles to explain a bit on how that was. And finally... It's not that these forums suck, they're well moderated and people (at least in this thread) are fairly polite and don't just call eachother names over disagreements. The reason people see appeal in other platforms such as discord is that forums in general are not a good place for fast-paced discussions, when compared to other options. It's simply easier to have a back-and-forth conversation with someone through messages than it is in forum posts. This is both a good and a bad thing. Forums, as a result of not being terribly well suited to very fast back-and-forths, typically lead to bigger, more thought out answers and responses, which can also be seen publicly and get more decent, thought out posts from anyone else who wants to respond. In addition to this, any questions asked, such as the ones above, can be answered for everyone at once, who can easily review the posts here whenever. So that's an answer for both groups of, 'why use a different platform' and 'why use the forums at all then'

Im here, what's up?

Is this Darkholis' map? I tried to tag him forever wasn't working ..

Woke up today to a wind storm and flickering power at the house. Didn't want to take any risks. Logged in, fed dinos, set the therizinos to mate and collected a pair of eggs. Put eggs in fridge then I DC'ed when the power flickered again. That was my exciting day. lol.

First, I went on a meat run to replenish the refrigerators. Then, I hatched two therizino eggs today from the surprise guest stud that was brought over yesterday from a friend. Got one M and one F. Colors were mixed and the babies got the lower stats of the mother in health and melee. I was a little bummed but that is okay. They will still have a place in the army. Right now I'm not too picky about having the PERFECT stats on every tame. I put them in pods and will raise them with the other soldiers later. The two males that are maturing were at 99% when I had to leave for work. I am always nervous about leaving babies out when I log off so I played it somewhat safe and podded one. The M stats are identical anyway and since I only need 1 for breeding, it's okay to just roll the dice with the other. Anyway, I should be able to start breeding very soon and I am really excited. I spent a little time looking for a good otter and a second baryonyx today. No luck.

I tamed two female sarcos, a lvl 65, and a lvl 160. Got two raptors, mating them now. Got a basilo and a level 201 ichthyosaurus. Also got a lvl 5 manta. I am getting ready to get a spino. And I also killed a leeds with my Ichthy. It didn't even attack or try to get away. I live on the southern coast island and I play on mobile.

finished building our second base on a different island. lots of chopping wood and collecting fiber. when i log back in later, i'm going to scope out the area, i think.

Haven’t posted on here awhile so I’ve got a rather large one... Ive started on a new mod map called Glacius... It’s not filled with new content or anything, but, it is super difficult to survive. You spawn in a region called fall hills, it’s basicly a bunch of orange red green brown trees. First 10 minuets was me respawning and trying to build campfires and torches enough to keep me warm. Then I started to lay out the basics, a Para, stone tools, a foundation, mortar and pestle, a Jerboa(there are weather events) and hide clothing, by now, I was watching a Allo pack slowly inch closer, wandering over from the ice area. They soon found my small little camp, and decided it was yummy, I escaped, but soon perished to the “Freezing” debuff. I soon came back as the allos wandered away, and rebuilt what I had before, and started making some spike walls towards the snow biome. I realized what pets I had weren’t very effective against anything but harvesting nodes, so I grabbed a bow, 50 tanq arrows, 10 bolas and lots of meat. My first two prey were a lone dire wolf(level 85) and a saber(15) I promptly rode them back. Then I finally built up to a smithy, and had everything I needed for fur armor except.... pelt. Soon it was to the frezing arctic again to bola kill some wolves, which I some how did with a pack.. and then another till I had enough. I made fur armor, and when combined with a torch, I could have no cold debuff at night as long as there were no weather events active. I soon tamed 3 more wolves. Lvls 10 and two more around 85. I went out to get a few dinos(turtles, trikes and such) to guard the base, when I came back, I saw a pack of allos ambushing my little base. I ran in, and defeated the pack, with the loss of the saber and almost the level 10. Soon I built more spike walls and dino gates, and set my paras on detect. Then I tamed a few peligornus as I was approaching saddle level. (No Ptdons on the map and no argys in the area according to dev) on another pelt run to repair my armor, the level ten wolf died in the hunt. I soon decided it might be a good idea to breed them. My female and male were the highest levels after all. I missed the imprint by 1 secound, so it was just another wolf, but it was still strong, and me not settings my settings right, have to wait like 10 hours for it to reset. (This is SP) now armered with metal tools, 2 crossbows,, full fur armor, and like 1999 tranq arrows and some sleeping bags, I head out for A lake far away. On the way I hope to tame a mix of Doeds, beavers, otters, and carnos. I’m also taking my wolves and not the flyer cus it’s low stam. I soon find a pretty colored raptor(named toffee cuz that’s what it looks like) , two carnos, and a beaver. Which I tame. I also find like 4 doeds, and an otter, the doed at some point curled up, and the otter seamed to disappear soon as I had a fish, and I had to give up after the cold water was killing me. Then I made it back home.

Thanks! I decided that since I have long since lost the allo on my previous one, it would be better to make an avatar with an allo I actually have (the new one is Midnight - even blacker than the first, wild-tame full black I had that was wearing this name, thanks to having Actual Black as the spine color instead of regular black, and a lot more powerful too, as she's fully imprinted and with better stats to begin with).

I got up early and matured the boy therizinos up to 95%. Small problem. I am about 90 minutes away from next imprint but there won't be enough time to get the final imprint after that since imprints are 8 hours apart. It will be fully mature in about 5 hours or so. Not the worst thing to happen but it is annoying since I have been on top of things and have never delayed any imprint/care. Almost no time wasted in the process but...... Oh well, there are bigger things to complain about. Did another metal run. Made more ammo. Made tranq darts. The morning was rather humbug until I contacted one of the server veterans' (the one that I bought the girl therizinos from), and let her know I will be breeding soon. Previously, I offered her one of the future babies with good stats... and I was just letting her know she might have one by the weekend. She seemed excited and said she had a surprise for me... so she brought over one of her own Theri studs to breed with the girls... and left me the eggs saying I won't be disappointed. 🙃 Not sure what I did to deserve this but I won't argue. I didn't have time today to hatch the eggs before work but that is definitely something to look forward to tomorrow. We then chatted for awhile about other tames and she is getting ready to breed basilos...offering me one of the babies to boot....but she had a bunch of work to do and meat to gather first. Her tribemates are gone right now, so with me feeling chivalrous and more that slightly indebted, I quickly offered to help with her grunt work of gathering meat in the time I had left before work. I left her with 180 stacks of meat before I departed. A good morning. The stars aligned for a few ark moments today. I'm not sure I have the words to express my joy at all this. lol.

Well, be real for a sec, its Ark right, and its wildcard right, now think again why I would say what I said...

I have different problem ....... first the drop was in the coldest part of the map and i died after picking up 2 presents if thats not bad enough i went back to my body to collect my stuff but as i went to open inventory my body despawned along with all the un-collected drops so not only did I lose the presents i lost everything i was carrying including my mana chibi some rare armor and weapons and cryo'd tames so i am not happy😡
