(Official, Valguero) Fed dinos, bred sinos, gigas, spinos and rexes. One spino egg stays (good stats inherited, male, stam mut with color matching the previous mut, but on a different region).
That's all, probably for today, and not just for now.
...
So. Felt better (less like a sleepy/hungry bag o' snot, more like a human), so played more. And here's what I did:
(Official, Fjordur) First I fed the dinos. Owlmazing was hungry as hell - owls are flying gigas when it comes to consuming ungodly amounts of meat! Then I added a second floor to my house, a tiny one, just big enough for a generator. And crafted a generator. And a refrigerator. And some lampposts, too.
Then I went to the volcano island the name of which I can't remember (you know the one. There's only one) for oil.
Made a few stacks of gasoline, powered the gen.
Then spent, like, an hour nearly bleeding my poor character dry, storing the blood in the fridge, healing with the owl and repeating the process.
Did that until I had enough for a max level desmodus (on current rates) plus a bit extra.
Made a saddle. Left it in the smithy in case things go wrong.
Man, am I glad I did that! Sometimes I do smart things.
So I went to that cave I mentioned in the last SP post.
One I deemed perfect.
Yeah, not perfect at all.
When I tested in SP I was in creative mode, nothing could touch me.
When I went there on server it turned out oops! The cave is A POISONOUS HELLHOLE.
And a laghole, 1 FPS whenever I approached.
So, yeah. I mounted m ptera and left.
Did some googling, found out about another cave. Quite far, but no poison and nothing but the right kind of bats in there.
I went there. On owl, because FAST.
So I enter, some piece of medium animal feces left pillars outside near the entrance so no sleeping bags for poor little me.
Literally nothing could go right at this point.
But I aggro a bat anyway.
It's an okay level, it's a male, that's good. It's accompanied by a higher level female, that's bad.
No, I didn't get all my blood bags pointlessly shared by two bats.
No, I didn't get killed (that happened later).
It's just...
Don't tame bats indoors, people. Lure them outside. Anti-mesh doesn't care that it's a wild animal you have no control of shoving you into the wall or under the floor.
As I said, didn't get killed. Just forcibly teleported back home.
So I took my ptera and went back.
And made the same mistake: let the bat grab me indoors. Also, my owl got killed, but I was able to loot the saddle and store it in the ptera for safety.
So I got teleported again. Took my trike, teleported as close as I could to the cave (not an easy task, I didn't remember which of the teleport spots is the right one. I never do). Got there, had to sacrifice the trike, leaving it to terror birds and saberteeth.
This time bats were outside. High-level ones gone, presumably killed - I saw a player nearby.
But there were two low-levels, 20 and 15. Both female.
I went to them and tamed the 15.
Unfortunately, I forgot parachutes so she dropped me to my death.
I tried to get back there on foot, but had no luck.
Then I tamed a ptera, but died while searching for something to kill for chitin/keratin.
Then I finally got enough mats, made the saddle, teleported to the approximate location of the new ptera (only took two tries), saddled it up, retrieved old ptera and the bad, and returned home. Put the saddle on the bat, named her Betty.
Betty will be staying on the sidebase, since hunting dodos is much more fun (and much faster) than draining my own blood. So, yeah. She'll be a sidebase bat, and something more decent (hopefully a pair of somethings) will be later tamed and sent to the main one.
And that's all for today.
