Well I finally got to play some last night. I have a now 3 month old baby in real-life so playing at all is some small miracle plus I play on my hubby's Xbox so I have to wait for him to be at work or asleep. I used to play almost nightly while I was pregnant.
Anyway.... I'm trying to build up enough dino friends to help me take on this Alpha Rex that is camped at the north end of the Western Coast just north of my current base. I really want to start building in an exploring the snow biome, but Mr. Glowy-Redbutt is in my way. I finally found a mate for Theo, my male theri, so I took them and my mobile-base bronto Baxter out to find some more dino bullies. I am an EXTREMELY casual player and I really don't like the guns or things like that in this game, so I took my trust crossbow and downed 2 rexes that ate the spinos I had set out to tame. Lucky for me both were male (I already have Roxie my beautiful green lady rex) and both are really pretty colored. Light green bellies with orange-y mid coloring and dark green on top. I have my taming speed boosted so it only took me about an hour and a half to starve those guys down and tame them up. Got to meet my first pylorvia while waiting around. Theo took care of that and the little army of troodons and microraptors. Maybe I shouldn't have been hunting in the river between the redwoods and the volcano. Found another spino further up river, so that's my mission next time I can get some play time in. Ark is by far the best way to entertain yourself while breastfeeding, ha.
