I understand it's hard to find a balance naturally so you are helping them.

@Aushegun congrats on the banned thief finally you can breed without the drama.

Personally I live in a city so don't have massive open space but it's big enough for us and small wildlife. When I do get time over the next few years our garden will be planted to be very wildlife friendly. Our garden can't be touched at the moment as we have a nesting family of hedgehogs mother and 4 young hoglets they in the way of clearing it out. So we don't want to disturb them. Had to rescue a baby hedgehog from pond 2 doors away a few weeks back. 6 populated bees nests. So garden is a hazard to our 3 nosy cats. Yes each one of them has experienced a bee incident in the last 5 years. I'm spending time helping brother with his in return he will help us out with ours when it's time and the family of hedgehogs has moved on. But having read your post I think what you are doing for the deer is great. It's awful being in the sun all day and even with sunscreen I still manage to burn. I don't know about you. But the allergies ruin the day for me.

I couldn't agree more. They always make me laugh.

Trying to play ark sat resulted in countless deaths due to lack of concentration. I drowned twice not paying attention to oxygen. I fell to my death off my argy mid flight due to sausage fingers I caught the Y button. Plus so many more that are just stupid. Yesterday was ark free. I visited my brother in Garstang and rotavated half his garden while him and my hubby followed behind packing down soil putting down sand and laying paving for a patio. I cut down a small tree, replaced 4 fence panels and moved half his plants into new planters. All of this and entertaining a 6 year old girl who never stops talking. ?. Kudos to all parents out there who can manage this without going a little insane. Patio down and as they were laying the last flag it started raining followed closely by thunder and lightening. Time to drive home. Got home sunburnt and covered in grass, mud and eyes streaming due to hayfever. Took antihystamines, cleaned up got changed. Logged into ark. Trecked out for a thyla hunt. Couldn't find one so decided to go into redwoods on back of my allo pack for meat run. Killed everything to encourage new spawns. Except not much seems to be respawning. Trecked home no thyla. Still in ark, just felt the need to clarify, I got home built a barn made a load of stuff ready for later this evening. Died again. I accidentally ate poly trying to drop it I pressed the wrong trigger button. ? Wonder what tonight will bring.

Should have said I needed a male unicorn I had already got a female there day one of the map dropping. My hubby is trying to get me the t shirt for my birthday next week lol. ?

Not played for a few days life gets too much. On plus side I have a plan for my next Val play through. Providing Xbox sp issues are fixed soon. Resources are not respawning in single player have adjusted settings still not coming back. Dino's not respawning so complete areas are cleared out. Have also played with those settings nothing changed after Dino wipe. Also hardly any Dino's in ABB zone not worth the effort of playing the map.. Plan is go back to sp island and start ascension all over again on completely new play through. Next time I visit Val hopefully problems will be sorted for Xbox.

Tamed a bronto and I don't have a reason why.. but I did it.. 3 X rex tames 2 X allo tames, 2 Tek paras not sure why either. I think I went a little nuts.. 2 X jerboa.. And then I spent hours grinding for building mats and saddle mats. Went out looking for a unicorn. No unicorn.. am very sad. ?

Flew to around 40/50 on Val to throw out ravager clear fish spawns to get an otter. Landed for stam on top of a cliff/hill.. got attacked by a pack of terror birds who threw themselves down the cliff.. bird on passive as I'm pounced by a pack of raptors bird took off and flew around a bit. Bird playing hard to get as I'm whistling aggressive and follow and trying to jump on board before I get killed or pounced again. I then got nudged down the cliff by my own bird drew my sword as I fell followed down by raptor pack.. greeted at bottom by terror birds. Who didn't look that happy to see me considering they wanted to chew my face off. Took quite a bit of fall damage, so I'm at half health, my armours starting to break piece by piece, I'm being chewed on by the raptor pack, the terror birds and then I hear a roar. I nearly had a panic attack it happened that quick but suppressed the urge to panic and started swinging. Killed all 3 terror birds and 2 of the 3 raptors, their bodies falling further down the hill and gathering in a neat little pile. Bird got the other raptor and as I turn to look for it I see the rex feet from me but stuck unable to quite reach me. I drew my gun shot it in the face a few times and down it went adding another body to the pile, I then started my decent to the bird taking care with my last sliver of health.. and back to the mission. Got to water edge and threw out my ravager who's on passive was just about to cryo the bird and got snatched up and killed by a bary. Birds on aggressive so it killed bary, so I had to make my way back there to finish my mission. And yes I had a sleeping bag I just didn't get time to place it down. All was quiet when I returned got my ravager and cleared spawns, tamed an otter level 89 after tame. Not ideal level but meh couldn't spend more time looking, made it home with everyone in one piece. My first death on Val. I'm sure there will be many more yet.

This past 5 days I've not been on the cluster server we played on for a month. I had valguero weekend off for helping brother in law get started. Helping my husband out with the garden again. A job that never seems to end. Since then i have been hugely busy with work & had a massive problem with my email address being compromised. Closing accounts, changing to new email, all the verifications. Logged into Val so this morning to find husband had built a greenhouse so I can start making bug repellent for the taming of the bees. Can't find an otter for the life of me. Saw my Hub had started putting foundation markers down for the location of our buildings so it gives me a start for building the barn and hatchery. Challenging myself to breed Dino's I don't normally breed so on this map. I will have an allo pack and direwolf pack. It's only Wednesday and I need a day off.

@Aushegun can't the server admin do anything about the thief?

Xbox sp Val - I spent the afternoon moving us from behind green ob on Val to approx 50, 50 where other half wants us to have a base. Meh I wanted to live on a cliffside not on flat land, I like the building challenges. He has decided the two of us need a town ? so I helped out and spent 2-3 hours grinding out mats for building. Then an hour batch cooking narcotics because I'm sure he feeds them to every tame regardless of if they need them. Throws them about like sweets. Had a few strange incidents taming a 145 doed. It was trapped and was still up but not moving and it's damage numbers from tranq darts reduced. I went out of render needed more darts came back and it was curled up. Within seconds it was up again not moving but taking normal damage until it finally let me tame it. Just as I watched it eat it's last % its food filled but not the taming bar it ate twice more then it tamed. Not seen that before but I'm sure it's probably happened I just don't normally babysit tames. I leave that to other half. I knock em out he cares for them. I find next victim... I mean friend.. Because of this I have called her Glitch. I'm so original in my naming of Dino's.. ?

"May have been" indicates this was entirely true. Glad I can turn that off in sp on Xbox. I think your running out of Oz names now. Unless you decide to revive the names. Paint everyone orange and green and name them after the... orange and green small people.. shoot I forgot what they are called. That or time to find new inspiration. I sometimes struggle for names.. it becomes very obvious because I start with the swear words. Or just plain numbering them.

What happened? ?

What colour was the giga? I just realised I have never worked on gigas. That's sad I have over 5000 hours in ark most with thylas, otters, rexes and yutis. I need to explore other Dino breeding.

@Aushegun I can't answer your query as to right or wrong. I can only say what I would do. I don't want you to think I'm being rude I'm just sharing my thoughts. Personally I would have saved the eggs for them, would even build a pres bin in my base specifically theirs seeing them next online and letting them know, maybe they would say to keep it. Maybe not. But I'm guilt free. Either way it's a good deed and wouldn't result in Ill feelings if there was ever a chance to trade breeding with them. Or if it was ever discovered because you called it out in chat. Etc. I'm too honest for my own good. It's great you helped a new person get started I've seen so many posts where people just ignore, troll or do their damnedest to see them quit. Each to their own play style. I applaude your efforts to help this person. How is it you can teach someone online how to set up a trap? I'm in the same room as other half and he still can't understand me. Go me! Hope the map is up for you now. It's a very pretty map and it's up to you where to start etc but I can say green ob and the local area has everything you need to get started.

I can imagine. These posts have really cheered me up this last weekend.

Well I did say I wonder how Dorothy would depart this world. Now I know! ?

I love reading the escapades of the OZ gang. ? Beginning to wonder what demise will befall Dorothy.. ?

I spent time grinding for trap building stuff this morning.. gathered carrots from the farm near 50/50. Created an argy trap and a 2x2 drop trap for anky and doed. Got 2x 145 breeding pairs of anky and argy and a 135 doed. Tamed a parasaur to gather narco berries only because it was right there outside my base. A lystro because i love my little cheerleader. Flew around a lot of the map looking for my starter rexes and a nice pack of allo's. Found some great levels but didn't bring trap on scout mission. Found a cave I saw a reference to on a video a couple of days ago mentioning artifact locations. I think it was nooblets if anyone else wants to find artifacts and feels like checking it out. @d1nk do you want a list of cave co ords for your Val thread most of them are in the vid I saw I can note them all down for you if needed. There were no threats it has an an artifact at approx 33/50 and 3 loot drops a red, blue and yellow. For those who want some quick loot. Sorry I didn't have GPS with me I just remembered the location when I saw the surrounding area at entrance. I will be running it non stop tomorrow to hopefully get some great gear. Managed some pretty good gear so far from normal drops. Still yet to actually explore White cliffs, I've skirted the beach so far. I have seen loads of new Dino's around green ob and tundra area so not needed to explore that far yet. I'm surprised how many beavers are on this map. All in all I feel like today was productive.

Saturday - Played on valguero for a bit hubby settled us in a cave behind the green ob. Quite small but it's a start, was very surprised to see the new Dino living so close to green ob we grabbed 4x145 eggs so close to base. I'm just having fun exploring the map so far. There really is a lot to see. Feel bad for those who are still having issues with the launch of win10 servers, glad I chose to play single player for my initial exploration. Don't think I will be playing the map on servers for a long while as I intend to complete the island and move on to each map ascending each time. Spent a few hours teaching brother in law how to tame and build so now leaving him to it.

good luck with it.

We launched map after an hour setting up brother in law on non dedicated getting him used to crafting etc. I didn't want to play. Too tired.

The information I gave is what they WC stated on their page nothing I did. I just gave you their information which was requested. End of.

You asked a question you got an answer no need to be at all rude.
