Yesterday I decided to leave my bases at the Volcano (for demo) and the blue Obelisk (for building) alone and fly a little through the ARK world with my Quetz to see, what I could find. I was not specifically up to something, just a random look around for possible new base locations or new tames or whatever. On my way over the swamp I came across one Titanosaurus and I decided to try and kill it. It tried to escape but then it got stuck at one rock, so I had the possibility to hover over it with the Quetz and kill it (gave me two levels up). I looked for a safe place to land after I looted the dead Titano and found a cliff with just few Dilos on it, so nothing to fear. While I was waiting for my Quetz to regain Stamina again I had a nice look around and found another Titano. So I tried the same again, unfortunately it escaped in the Redwood Forest and I did not follow it there (I always find it quite difficult to maneuvre with a Quetz in there). So I got on with my flying exploring and on foot of the Volcano I found another Titano, so the same thing again, but also this stupid (or actually intelligent) beast decided to look for shelter in the Redwood, so I gave up und continued to the North. And guess what, when I reached Death Island, you would never guess, what I found!?....Yes, another Titano. So next try and this time I was lucky because it jumped into the water and was so closed to the surface, that I could reach it with the metal arrows shot with my compound bow. So I followed it, while it was swimming around in the water and found a safe place to land in between to regain Stamina and finally I got it. Unfortunately looting it would have meant to commit suicide in these waters with at least five Megalodons and seven jelly fishs around the body, so I left it for good and was happy about another two levels gaining. So I headed back to our main base at the waterfalls on the West Coast and spent my new gained engram points in some saddles (Basilosaurus, Baryosaurus (or how this is called), Iguanosaurus (or so) and of course Thylacoleo) and crafted those saddles also and had a small ride on one of my Thylas to try (wow this cat can jump far). So most probably I will break my plans for not breeding anymore and will try to breed my couple of Thylas for a Baby Thyla, so I can explore with one of them and have still a pair for breeding left, I will see. This was my yesterday's action in ARK.

Here is my story from yesterday evening. After coming home and have a little rest, I decided to head on to my own official server. I was then still unsure what to do, but very quick I decided to visit all our bases to feed the animals there. So first I emptied little Rexi from his meat and fish from the day before and filled the troughs in the main base. And suddenly I discovered I was not alone anymore. One member of another tribe, a tribe I thought had abandoned the server completely popped in and intended to play again. So we had a little chat and then I took Rexi for a little funny walk. First direction was to the snow biome to our base there. It is not far from our main base at the waterfall of the West Coast, so it was a nice start. On the way there we passed several Rexes, Mammooths, Sabertooths, Wolfes and Rhinos. All of them obviously considered it as a good idea to fight with Rexi and had to figure out it was a really bad one for them. So I had enogh meat to feed the wolves, penguins and the bear in the ice and of course I have not forgotten the herbivores we parked there as I had around 600 berries in Rexi's inventory. So, those animals were fed, the prime meat was cooked and safely stored in the fridge and so I could continue my visiting of bases walk. The next base is located at the foot of the volcano, by the river, between swamp and forest, right at the end of the gorge coming from the waterfall of our main base. Going there was nothing special, some animals here and there, now and then, ready to be eaten by Rexi (at least he had a lot of fun), some ruins to be explored and notes found. So feeding all animals in that base and again a nice little chat with the other tribe and we figured out, that she (A) had a huge problem. All other tribemembers had abandoned the server and not make her admin of the tribe, so she could not do anything there. So I decided to help her out with some animals as we have enough of them and went to her. On the way there I passed by our Island base on Cragg's Island opposite of the red obelisk and then I headed further south to meet A. She wants to build a base on the peninsula with those stone columns, nice place to have a base. Close to our Island base, I passed by an abandoned base with a lot of animals still inside (I know for sure, that the player quit playing). I claimed a Rex and a Mammooth and intended to take them with me as a gift for A. Unfortunately the Rex fell totally in love with a jelly fish on the way to A. He was stunned by her beauty and not able to move again, so he decided to stay in the water with her, but obviously she did not reply his love and killed him instead. But at least he died with a happy face. The Mammooth on the other hand decided to follow me and Rexi and we reached savely A. She got some animals for a good new start from me and then I went back to my main base and logged off. This was my story from yesterday, not sure what to do today after work, we will see.
