Recently switched one of my servers over to Genesis because the kids were interested in taming the new dinos. We agreed to use only what materials we had on us when we first transferred: everything else went into storage.
2 days ago, finally had material saved up to build an industrial forge so last night I set out to gather metal to fill that sucker. Shortly out from base I see something big moving ahead of me: an X-Spino
Pulled out my spyglass and he's level 130. Yeah, I am not prepared to fight that. But what if I tame it?
I throw together a quick trap, keeping an eye on the beast while I gather mats. Make a quick run back home to grab the prime meat from all the damn sarcos I've been fending off and tranq darts. Ride back on our raptor, lure the spino in and start tranq'ing. And tranq'ing. And my longneck rifle break because i forgot to repair it. Switch to crossbow and fire in a few shots. Spino asleep.
Run over to dump stuff in his inventory. Oh god, where are my narcotics! Harvest some narcos and give him a bump to make sure he stays down long enough for me to hop back home. Grab some narcotics out of storage and discover that someone has collected a few rex eggs. I have everything to make a few kibble so I do that real quick.
Back to the spino, dump the kibble give him so narcotics and wait. Took about an hour with our boosted tame rates. Now I just need a saddle
