Well pethradons escape

#

From the concept art I think AE lost control of the setuation and some concept art shows that dinosaurs either sneaked into some places and killed AE members or

#

Comparing ptera to irl ptera it seems less adapted for long distance flight. So maybe they purposely hampered their pterosaurs soaring abilities to keep em on the islands

#

So quetzal isn't gonna soar well. Because irl quetzal was able to head to Africa

#

I have a question: in future, dinosaurs (maybe female and I don’t think all of them), will somehow be able to carry or simply grab their little ones? I mean the babies of their family or nest.
In addition to being partly useful, in itself it is also normal for parents; especially for today’s crocodiles

Tribals/cannibals/gen 1 are synonymous though not to be confused with the eyeless or the echidna/neurotrenic mastermind/cannibal mother.

Everyone discussing the isles deep lore. Me downloading it cause I saw dinosaurs:

Is the context behind this referring to escaping predation say from a deinosuchus?

okaya 👍

#

I think it was mentioned in the Devblog or something that galli would run faster if they made a certain call or were in groups. Do you think that was something AE out in as maybe a hormone response to encourage Galli to herd up in large groups or to gather them together quickly?

"Screams that make you go faster" sounds like something very cartoonish

# strange shell "Screams that make you go faster" sounds like something very cartoonish

(Alright time for quick explanation for why I think this is a good idea, but this fits in #isle-discussion)
Right now, the game is very stagnant in terms of calls and what noises you make. Most people don't make more noise than group invites and mating calls. Honestly, just having more noises in the game makes it feel more alive.

Lore reason? Could be something like an adrenaline response to a certain frequency or so. Or just social conditioning.

honestly, i genuinely think any mechanic that makes the game less of a silent hell and guides you towards other players is a good one, cartoonish or not. Calls having functional use, especially on galli, an animal that spends most of its time sprinting around the open plains, encourages people to sacrifice stealth for speed and community, and that's kinda sick tbh.

I'd genuinely want every call to have a use, although not to the extent galli has, give the island a little bit more life and sound and remind you that you aren't alone on the island and that there are people you can go to

acoustic osprey
#

Rather than just "well, it is because it is"

modern rover
#

oh yea, for sure

#

you could even just describe it as social behaviours, or even a "follow the leader" mentality, where the herd leader will call to indicate to other gallis that they need to keep up as he's going to start moving faster

How do you think what may be role of aviary in gameplay?

fringe marsh
icy onyx
maiden raptor
acoustic osprey
#

They will likely have multiple purposes

#

Botany etc

maiden raptor
#

Yeah maybe certain types of plants or foods for diets will only be found there

acoustic osprey
#

Or not diets for playables

#

Maybe for Tribals? Depends on their gameplay use

#

Presuming that a good amount of these will be either in the Aviaries or the Hexadome

#

However, we know the Hexadome is a biodome
So it might be one of the hidden RnD sites

maiden sundial
#

It may be a gigantic biodome that is a temperate environment?

modern rover
#

I doubt and hope not.

maiden sundial
#

I more mean redwood

#

Since judging from the map the island is tropical

modern rover
#

Again, I still find the prospect of setting up these HUGE domes for essentially an air conditioned tree area fundamentally off

#

The domes are more than likely tied to storage, containment, research and observation

maiden sundial
#

It would make sense if you want to study wildlife of other climates you'd have an area made for it. Just my theory though

wicked brook
#

What if the entire isle is a bio dome in space?

maiden sundial
modern rover
modern rover
#

I’d imagine the bigger domes would be for containment and separating things from the main ecosystem, but to throw in the constant expenditure of cooling it down seems off.

maiden sundial
modern rover
#

I’d argue they place strains in these larger domes, integrate a select portion of the existing ecosystem and observe interactions between Strain and non-strain to see flaws in the strain’s core design, while not releasing it into a harder to control environment like the main island

bold crater
#

Okay I have silly theory for requiring a very cold environment.

modern rover
#

They can control the dome’s conditions, total population, exposure, environmental factors, so on, while having the main Island exist as the primary form of making new dinosaurs, allowing them to interact naturally and reproduce, creating new specimens without needing to constantly replicate them.

bold crater
#

Just a random idea TI_Hurr

#

🤷

modern rover
#

Would be very difficult to test, and would need a bio dome well beyond the climate of Redwoods

#

We’d need arctic levels of cold to test that properly

bold crater
#

I just popped in here so I may have missed previous context. Do we know if extreme temperature bio-domes aren't a thing?

modern rover
#

I don’t think they’ve been dismissed

bold crater
#

I remember Punch mentioning snow in one as a possibility 😮

modern rover
#

I mean, I’d personally see that as terrible in terms of gameplay but it could make sense in lore

bold crater
#

Well, just wanted to share that random theory TI_Hurr

#

Gameplay wise....I think I'd be indifferent to it. Like it's cool as a concept, but.....why would I go in other than "it's cool" pun intended

modern rover
#

Any feature that invalidates part of the roster from engaging with it, or creates scenarios where it would be fundamentally ridiculous, is bad to me

#

Mega and deino would either be forbidden from interacting with the cold biodome, or would waltz in and completely defy logic and reasoning.

bold crater
#

I can see that. My main issue with it is simply both the reasoning to even go in in the first place and it just....eeeeeh I don't dislike biodomes but they feel odd for Isle. Not bad, just odd.

But I've always been okay with the concept of "don't expect to do everything everywhere as anything" 😛

#

More tame biodomes though are fine

#

But even then, I still wonder....why?

#

Both game and lore wise, why a dome 😮

modern rover
#

I do think that the big dome will be almost like an arena, a chunk of the total island where specimens are dragged into to test R&D’s latest big breakthrough. Hypers, Neuros and Tissos released in these “mini-ecosystems” to observe behaviours, interactions, strengths and weaknesses. Main island acts as a way to ensure supply of new animals doesn’t run out, as they reproduce and sustain themselves

bold crater
#

So basically the dome is a stress test TI_TrollTI_TrollTI_Troll

#

I do like the idea of them being for testing stuff TI_dondiSmile

modern rover
#

They COULD use the replicator, but something tells me that isn’t cheap

bold crater
#

Do we know for sure if replicating entire environments is even a thing? I remember an old transmission implying it.

modern rover
#

For example, a wild Rex can be observed and documented having certain behaviours, then these can be compared with the mutated version to identify differences post-mutation

bold crater
#

Makes sense TI_dondiSmile

modern rover
#

I’d imagine these strains are all for the purpose of major medical progress in the field of genetic enhancement, but from what we can see, it’s nowhere near perfect, with each strain having unique flaws that make them unusable for commercial application

#

It’s why Gen 1 and Gen 2 were made, human tests, and based on the existence of the Echidna, Colossus and Reaper, there were tests done, but not with the intended results at all

bold crater
#

That makes me wonder though....aside from "why dinosaurs?" not that I have any issues with that, what would be the point in making such a large and diverse amount of creatures instead of just a handful? TI_Dilothink

#

I can understand the theory of "dino = no rights = free to do whatever with it" but why the ones we have? 😮

modern rover
bold crater
modern rover
#

Not to mention if you made the genetic code yourself, it’s a lot easier to know what to change to make something happen

#

Gen 1 and Omniraptor proves that they aren’t just cloning, they’re building from a template. Gen 1 was made to be like a human, but failed, if they could simply clone the human, they would’ve gotten another human, but instead they chose to try and make their own humans.

#

Omniraptor is built to be a raptor, but not based on anything actually real. It’s entirely unique and nothing like anything nature has ever made

bold crater
#

I am very interested in all the different generation stuff. I think Beip's glance sheet mentions it itself having generations

modern rover
#

They have the shape, behaviours and idea of a dinosaur from paleontological research, they then take this and build their own based on that template until they end up with a good enough replication of the real thing.

bold crater
#

That makes a lot of sense. But why all of the dinos we have though? Why not just stop at say Omniraptor? Are the things they're testing needing specific types of body mass n' such? TI_Dilothink

modern rover
#

If they were just cloning, we wouldn’t have specimens deviating so wildly from the actual animal, they’re quite literally building their own based on the IDEA of the animal

bold crater
#

"But Spino inaccurate"

acoustic osprey
#

As we know the Hexadome is the biggest dome and is a biodome

modern rover
# bold crater That makes a lot of sense. But why all of the dinos we have though? Why not just...

Full ecosystem allows for observation of natural behaviours, from which they can compare modified behaviours. Holding a regular omni and a type-H omni in a tiny cell will still have a socially maladjusted omni that is aggressive and wants out. Allowing the omni into the environment to hunt, eat, socialise and so on allows them to compare what happens when genetically altered via strain or other mutation

bold crater
#

True, true.

acoustic osprey
bold crater
#

I kinda get vibes of "ya know, Beip is cool so whatever let's use it"

#

Like you can't tell me not one person thought "okay but like it's just cool, c'mon guys"

acoustic osprey
#

The holding cells (?) that were in the phase three post a few weeks back most likely were/are medical bays and mechanic stations

modern rover
#

You can see how the mutations effect more than just physically, but mentally, behaviourally and emotionally too. From there you can identify key flaws that make it unsuitable for any form of commercial application

bold crater
#

I do very much like that these are still animals and not mindless drones or.....human minds. Eugh.

#

I know it's JW, but it makes me think of Wu in the second one arguing the Indo "needs a mother".

#

Gotta treat them like animals or else they function weird

acoustic osprey
#

Woah! Unlike every mutated Dino in Jurassic Park universe!

modern rover
#

Based on how the Colossus, Reaper and Echidna turned out, highly dangerous and difficult to contain specimens, I think they don’t want to go to human testing all too often

acoustic osprey
#

Depends on what Tartarus is used for as well

#

A holding pen? Facilities?

modern rover
#

And want things to be polished out on the animal side before pushing for human testing.

acoustic osprey
#

Not like it seemed human testing was that successful

modern rover
#

Exactly

acoustic osprey
#

in the short term

#

Long term? Big eye opener on the way they do things likely, looking at how different Gen 2s are compared to 1s

modern rover
#

I’d argue human strain testing was a disaster, based on the results. The specimens all were dangerous and hostile, and far gone from anything still human

acoustic osprey
modern rover
#

The end result would more have likely put an immediate halt on any future experiments. Colossus would’ve been a destructive menace, Reaper would’ve been impossible to contain down and an extreme threat to human workers, and Echidna… well, we know she’s one of AE’s greatest problems

acoustic osprey
#

Depends on how sophisticated Gen 2s were

modern rover
#

I still think the reason Gen 1 even exists is because AE doesn’t use cloning, but rather builds from scratch based on the rough concept of their desired outcome specimen. Gen 1 was one of their first “successful” attempts at a human, but obviously was still nowhere near an actual human.

#

It could, y’know, SURVIVE, as well as learn, use tools and have a level of human-like sophistication, but it’s still not a human

#

I still don’t know, was the Colossus, Echidna and Reaper the result of Gen 1 or Gen 2 testing

bold crater
#

Oh no, the Reaper is running at me with his backwards blades. 😱 I am glad he is getting a redesign

I wanna know if the Replicator is making these things herself or if she's being told to make them. Or both.

#

Like if it's the classic case of "robot gone haywire and gained awareness"

#

Or if it's the somewhat more scary case of it just doing what it was made to do

#

If that makes sense ;><;

modern rover
# bold crater Oh no, the Reaper is running at me with his backwards blades. 😱 ~~I am glad he ...

I think how the replicator works is very explicit. You feed it a "blueprint" of a specimen and it generates it to those genetic parameters. It probably also remembers the genetic makeup so it can make more later if need be, meaning it can make more whenever needed. How it gained sentience, however, is more curious.

It clearly likes Gen 1 and actively engages with them and creates them, to the point they treat it like a God, and it clearly is capable of some level of free will, but the question is why give it free will and agency? What does it achieve? Or was it something brought on later?

#

In other words, you give it a blueprint, it replicates it and can continue replicating it forever

bold crater
#

Hmmm

#

On the sentience part, I can see it being just it being too smart and becoming self aware eventually.

Either that, or perhaps the level of intelligent computer power stuff that they needed for it to do it's job simply could not be done without sentience happening.

#

That level of processing power would basically guarantee self awareness

I love how I feel I know everything about isle lore except what is known about the replicator which then makes me feel that I actually know nothing

@acoustic osprey lore question

#

what's AE 001?

acoustic osprey
#

Supposed to be very lore heavy

#

Think Gateway but for Legacy

acoustic osprey
#

Thanks Dash

#

I've now gone on a useless rabbit hole of useless information that'll likely be invalidated through Gateway/Dondi

#

ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!! @rustic urchin
I hope you enjoy

#

So, I've been going around using spec cam around The Isle

#

(I'm doing the video suggestion, 12 hours late, because I was bored)

#

I spawn in a server and realise I next to a human building. The solar panel one near the tri rock thing

#

noted down two things

It's tiny camera is named:
CAM
AE - 771

(Taking note on how AE labels things, especially things like cameras, which occur multiple times)

#

But also, on the top left of the device

#

"Apollo Timit"

#

sadly, can't decipher what is on the bottom in the second image (near the large green screen)

#

Nothing in Greek Mythos and the English language as far as I know for timit

#

it could also be "TI(i or l/L)mit"

#

like "The Isle - mit?"

#

however, it would be more obvious through the use of a "- or space"

#

too hard to really tell

#

Also had a look at AE's love for rubbing alcohol

#

oh sorry, wrong image!

#

Basically AE only, at the moment (I'm presuming this wont be the case in the future lol) loves this stuff

#

This is called Isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol)

#

These are their general uses:

Disinfectant: Isopropyl alcohol is commonly used as a disinfectant to kill germs on surfaces and skin. It is often used in hospitals and other medical settings to sterilize equipment and surfaces.

Cleaning agent: Isopropyl alcohol is an effective cleaning agent that can be used to remove dirt, grease, and other types of grime from surfaces.

Solvent: Isopropyl alcohol is a good solvent for a wide range of substances, including oils, resins, and gums. It can be used to dissolve and remove unwanted substances.

Antiseptic: Isopropyl alcohol can be used as an antiseptic to disinfect minor cuts and scrapes.

Cooling agent: Isopropyl alcohol has a cooling effect and can be used as a coolant in various industrial processes.

I can't always "Earth (?), so worldbuilding backbones of real life "lore/subtext" can't be applied
but
UN no.
Practically means, in the world of chemicals, means "United Nations Number"

is a four-digit number assigned to hazardous substances and articles by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.

This cuts out as every Isopropyl canister have the same UN no, alongside with it being 4 digits
However, The UN number for isopropyl alcohol is UN 1219.

I thought, being the smartest guy in the world (clearly), oh this might be Dondi hiding ||in plain sight|| something larger! Maybe there is some dangerous/toxic/rare chemical running The Isle's power/or something akin to such thing- even if we didn't know what it could possibly run/power, we could have some hint

If you thought so, you are almost likely wrong and overthinking it
3314 is Hybrid lithium-ion battery with a mixture of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium metal cells or batteries
It would be very unwise, unorthodox and dangerous to do so

Especially keeping them outside.
Lithium-ion batteries should be stored at a moderate temperature, typically between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit), in a dry and well-ventilated area.
Spiro, being much more tropical, would typically have high temperatures and high humidity levels. The temperature in tropical regions typically ranges from 25 to 35 degrees Celsius (77 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit) year-round.

Sure, they could've just left them out there due to "the incident"
But on that large of a scale? Practically every container has them (they SHOULD be constantly ventilated and air-conditioned, it being on a Tropical Island)

Then you look at the CAS number
Ok.
What does that mean?

CAS No. stands for Chemical Abstracts Service Number. It is a unique identifier assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) to identify a specific chemical substance. CAS numbers are assigned to chemicals and chemical compounds, including organic and inorganic substances, polymers, and alloys.

Which would make sense for something like this again, like the UN number.

Surprise surprise
CAS number 12-23 is not a valid CAS number.

CAS numbers have a specific format of three groups of numbers separated by hyphens, with the first group containing up to six digits, the second group containing two digits, and the third group containing a single digit as a check digit.

Where The CAS number for isopropyl alcohol is 67-63-0.

#

on a happier note, completely forgot this exists

#

and some other tiny guys

#

I know this is possibly the most useless tangent about small minor aspects on Spiro
Which will likely be fixed

#

and/or more things will come and these old things will be removed

#

Knowing that text stuff on Gateway weren't even final (most/some)
like the Afterthought easter egg in the lockers

#

in the end, I find sad enjoyment from this

#

not to mention AE Class Water/EE-Class Plastic
does not exist

#

Alas, that is all of what I can contribute and input about this

practically just went on a minor shopping spree on looking at minor things on Spiro (again)

acoustic osprey
#

oh?

shell badger
#

Yeah it’s a human mechanic theories and how they might work

acoustic osprey
#

Well I will comment on what I read

#

I think it's good to take note
That the human playables wont be mercenaries, but are humans made by AE
And that Strains are also made by AE

shell badger
#

Here fine I’ll put it back up

acoustic osprey
#

yay

shell badger
#

Im thinking humans did research on the island—continue many many years after escape—>mercury goes on an exploration mission to capture assets for research and warfare—-mercs meet humans that have been hear(tribals/cannibals)which may or may not be aggressive to the mercury some also may have dinosaurs with them—-> mercury mission would be retrieve assets for a set goal—-tribals mission would be to survive in a hostile world by adapting to it

Gameplay wise I think tribals will be able to talk to dinosaurs over and over agian until the dinosaurs understand them only a bit like key words or phases they might be able to mount dinosaurs and use something to lead them or nudge them in a direction which the dinosaurs could resist and even kick off the rider

On the mercury side I believe they will have to scavenge for material to build broken down vehicle, power up different stations and bases and use weapons to bring down Dino’s or capture them to send out for testing or some sort of reward

Dino side of things would be that if they help the tribals they may get to survive safer with more protection as well as food would be a great start as a youngling without parents
But if the mercs captured you young most likely you would be tested on to become a type h,t or n once you survive with a new diet and look as a child til growth while being captured bigger would have higher chance of side effects and/or low dance of death(since the mutant are op as is also mutant herbis :3)
And dinosaurs don’t even need to interact with humans if they don’t wish too but the humans always can interact with the dinosaurs at a risk of their own death

Note if they add a human “nesting system” they should do it for tribal only wouldn’t make sense for mercs to do it and the “nesting” should just be them building a hutt and where u can’t see inside and once the baby is born they just stay in there until a certain older age
But that’s my take on what I think of the lore it’s simple

acoustic osprey

Also, what is mercury?

I see

modern rover
#

Gen 1 are still tribals, but they can also be referred to as cannibals

acoustic osprey
#

Maybe Gen1s? We do not know

#

I'd assume Gen2 "Nesting" is more so just an invite system to your base

shell badger
#

So will the tribal be force to eat other human?

acoustic osprey
#

well, Tribals are cannibals, so yeah

acoustic osprey
#

in lore? Maybe

#

I’m not eating other humans ew

Likely not proper "cloning"
more so just synthesising humans

With enough effort and also not trying carnis

Man carnis do nothing but kill herbis are so nice to humies

Lol

#

I am I’ll take the gateway base and keep my Dino’s safe feed them grow them…….farm them?

#

I’ll prolly get 2-3 generations before they suspect a thing :3

#

I still think, though, if you keep speaking to a dinosaur, they would least understand the key phrase, or some words

#

Like how other animals with enough time they can sort of understand what we try to tell them

#

Like dogs with sit or that one elephant that paints

acoustic osprey
#

But yeah, you make a good point

#

Although, I don't believe 291 shows us on how to find the deactivated olympus
Just depends on on the route he went to get from Olympus to Hades Entry

#

Do we lack a lot of information explicitly on 291, I believe we wont get anymore specific knowledge on 291's case
but likely have references down the line, hopefully.

#

but yeah, either LLLRFL was a code or literal directions

lethal moat
#

Think this has something to do with neuros or tribals?

#

It mentions no listening to voices, and there should be an echo, which leads me to think neuro telepathy.

#

I'm interested in the destination (Sibb.....) in keeping with greek names, it could be Sibyl, (prophet) which makes me think neuros even more

#

From what I understand Zeus is hypo quetz, hades is type M T-rex, and poseiden I don't remember, sibyl could be code name for neuro stuff

#

What if the maps we have right now in Evrima are all islands of one big map

acoustic osprey
tough rock
#

Ohh neat

#

I also mean Spiro and gateway too

acoustic osprey
#

it could be connected to an island chain

sand thistle
#

What if Isla Spiro is actually Isla Nublar, many years after dominion? (like 100+ years) And people have long forgotten Isla Nublar?

acoustic osprey
#

but inspired by other things like JP/JW? 100%

sand thistle
#

Yes but the aviary's from JW are in dominion and they appear to be abandoned, and the static when you approach it, it could be linked somehow.

acoustic osprey
sand thistle
#

True. but JP didnt really have a dock

chrome acorn
#

aviary’s were invented by Jurassic park

sand thistle
#

Which JW and Domionion does

#

And isla spiro has that dock

chrome acorn
#

Docks too

acoustic osprey
#

JP had a dock

sand thistle
#

it did?

chrome acorn
#

Also invented by Jurassic park

#

Jurassic park actually invented jeep too

acoustic osprey
# sand thistle it did?

Yeah, the dockmaster/ship captain was calling from there, and was where Dennis was supposed to go

sand thistle
#

"The East Dock was the shipping port for Jurassic Park and later for Jurassic World on Isla Nublar. The dock was first mentioned in the first Jurassic Park novel. It's first appearance is in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom."

acoustic osprey
#

before dying to the Dilo

sand thistle
#

Yes but that was at san Diego

chrome acorn
#

Sand Diego is owned by the Jurassic park franchise

acoustic osprey
#

only through a computer screen

#

when Dennis is on call

sand thistle
#

hm yes

#

that sign that he flipped

#

That makes sence

acoustic osprey
#

but no, I don't believe (and I know that it wont anyways) that The Isle be interlocked with Jurassic Park

sand thistle
#

wasnt JP also on isla nublar?

acoustic osprey
#

yeah, everything happened on Nublar

sand thistle
#

And all the abandoned structures could then be like 50 to 100+ years old from JP and JW, so it is a high possiblility that the 2 franchises are linked to The Isle.

sand thistle
#

So we cant relate the isle lore to JW / JP?

acoustic osprey
#

Sorry about that crushing thought
It would be cool to see a cross over

#

But, as a story teller, it would not be fun lol

sand thistle
#

Sad, JP and JW is a huge inspiration to The Isle

acoustic osprey
#

Yeah, I don't imagine Don will stop being inspired by any aspect of JP though

#

and other IPs

So all stuff when they had a deal with primal carnage is null and void now right?

All stuff connected to PC, not necessarily everything from that time period

Basically scrub PC from any lore

lethal moat
#

Ight

keen belfry
#

Why did they even try and connect pc to the isle

#

Never understood that tbh

#

They have an official trailer for Evrima with a pc reference and like what’s the point if it’s not even in the game

modern rover
#

Because the two games used to be closely linked, Dondi was once a part of PC's development to an extent I'm unaware of

#

The whole reasons magnas ever existed was due to PC iirc

#

Which is great because they're confirmed gone because PC is confirmed gone

modern rover
#

I can only hope the magna replacement is infinitely cooler than magna, because magna bleh

#

Type-O or whatever it was

acoustic osprey
modern rover

Magnas aren't true "strains"
They're more so "perfected variants"

I agree with this, in the night vision troodon-hunting-teno video they just posted, a troodon brushes against the tree or something similar that the camera is sitting on and rattles the camera a bit

Although it's a very slim and basically something that's just speculation

Whoa that ne glance sheet has some havy info on the lore in it

#

We got confirmation that
1.The humans were actively interacting with the dinos
2.They were trying to make a functioning ecosystem
3.They could move the dinos around as needed, and apparently didn't want them to kill each other too much
4.Generations and different variants are still a thing lore-wise

acoustic osprey
#

4 was hinted in from Hope.
But Hope... Was yeah

But now it's confirmed

acoustic osprey

And one was already presumed

#

Hopefully the massive lore drop that we'll be getting in June will give us more info

modern rover
acoustic osprey
#

And learning more of the intent of AE

acoustic osprey
#

Really excited they're keeping the "Industrial" look

Rather than just AE being "We're making dinosaurs!"
it feels more of a business.

Now to wait and see if we're still getting the "weathered" feel for these buildings
And if not, what lore implications it could mean

Although I believe you can see rust on the top of the dome

humans tryed to make a park with the dinos they made them up with dna they found a island and tryed to make buldings for faciltys yet thats why there are bases and the dinos got out to start life in south, north and even the sw and nw

@acoustic osprey Omni Glance Sheet is coming along nicely.

#

I feel like the cannibals would have similar origins to the hypos in the legacy isle

I think they have a closer connection to the neurotenic strain due to those also lacking eyes/ echidna being called the neurotentic mastermind

# rapid chasm B-0.2

A.B is a combination, but it could still be in direct reference to a Batch number.

However, there would probably be a lot more Batches than just a single clutch per generation.

#

And it would be a hard sell that Cera and Beipi had a near perfect version on the first Batch

rapid chasm

Could be the batch was used to study the behavior of the species

Not exactly lore related tho

cunning tapir
#

Heya I noticed in the render vs the lap sketch of galli that the hands are in different position. I had the idea that this could be of like science of the time period. Drawing out the animal with "correct" hands rather than what the clone has. Not sure how to explain it but yeah

acoustic osprey
cunning tapir
#

So in the 90s we didn't know dinos hands didn't pronate

#

So this drawing could be a render of the animal based on outdated knowledge and could perhaps put a date on the isle

acoustic osprey
#

Do not be confused, we don't know when this all happened

#

90s is a rough guess.
It can also be the 2170s

cunning tapir
#

Interesting

#

What if the intentional creation of the isle was the 90s and what we are playing now is the 2170s? Hrm well idk if the buildings are in bad enough condition for that

maiden sundial
#

Psittacosaurus for one

cunning tapir
#

This is a taco tho so I'm not sure if that applies here. This is more about pointing out that perhaps there are more things we can learn about the lore by the depiction of the dinosaur sketch itself?

acoustic osprey
#

As we know the original documents seemed to have been made in 2172

cunning tapir
#

Oh I see!

acoustic osprey
#

Although, that is an alternative universe

cunning tapir
#

I didn't know that my bad.

acoustic osprey

Their 2172 can be our 1990s

#

Galli does seems like one of those types u glance at

Lol

cunning tapir
#

The way it curls up reminds me so much of jp galli I think the previous gen thing might be right

acoustic osprey
#

Maybe aye

cunning tapir
#

I wonder how and why the animals edited. What animal did it start with? How far did it go? Was is to help prevent sickness? To stabilize the ecosystem? Or because they thought the ones cloned look "incorrect"?

Gateway is apart of Ecuador

First of all, Brazil Nuts exist in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, Gateway was previously names Isla Velada, "Isla" being Spanish therefore this knocks Brazil out of the question for it is a former Portuguese colony with Portuguese speaking inhabitants. Secondly, Peruvian Islands, the Chincha Islands aren't something Gateway would be found, next is Colombia, whose islands are found in the Caribbean and are far too small with the largest of its Island territories being far too mountainous and lack lustre of trees which brings us to Ecuador, in which owns the Galapagos and boy oh boy would Gateway be a good fictional island to be apart of the Galapagos Archipelago therefore I reach the conclusion that Gateway is an Ecuadorian island.

Here is pretty much the basics

AE (Apollo Engineering) is a bio-engineering company
AE made dinosaurs. AE also made mutated (strained) dinosaurs.
This took place all around the 90s (approximate)

AE also made mutated humans
- When? Who knows, but we can presume during AE's "Prime" in the 90s (?)
- These humans are known as "Tribals"/Cannibals/Generation One

Tribals slowly went crazy and mad per cycle

Sometime later, around current modern times, AE makes Generation Two
- Generation Two are also known as "Mercs" ||just to clarify, they aren't mercenaries any longer||/Humans
There is soo much more. But some of it is speculative canon and some of it is unconfirmed canon (lore from Legacy that we don't know will be in Evrima)

What do you think they'll do with the Matriarch and Colossus?

maiden sundial
#

They are doing echidna iirc

spare bloom
#

oh

#

But in the lore echidna's status is missing. do you think phoenix corporation took it?

#

Also the Colossus files were erased. could Phoenix Corporation did corporate espionage?

#

Also is neuro spino still canon?

maiden sundial
spare bloom
#

oh

maiden sundial
#

Though echidna? She may have just done it herself

spare bloom
#

that sounds like a good theory

#

Because the Neuro strain contains telepathy, intellegence, and regeneration so maybe she broke out

maiden sundial
spare bloom
#

Do you think matriarch will break out? because shes highly defensive of her babies

spare bloom
#

i dont remember the strain

maiden sundial

If it's the matriarch of the neuros

Maybe it was Tissoplasic?

acoustic osprey

#

oh

acoustic osprey
#

Aye

spare bloom
#

So is project Alphonse and Throne-Breaker still canon?

#

Because in the old lore Apollo Engineering stole assets from Phoenix Corporation the assets being The Magnatyrannus and The Quetzalcoatlus

#

The assets stolen from Atrium B and Atrium C

modern rover
maiden sundial

#

the only strain now no longer canon is all magnas

modern rover
#

She's smart as hell, so she more than likely broke out herself and is hiding somewhere away from AE's view

maiden sundial
modern rover
#

It's interesting to consider if she is planned to only be a lore entity or an actual playable creature, along with the eyeless, colossus and such

maiden sundial
#

Or rather not a boss. More just an entity

#

Let's you reach her habitat. You cant attack her because of her abilities

Could be like the G-Man where in the distance, you see her watching before she disappears TI_Troll

a lot of legacy-era lore can easily be dropped too

pretty sure the "regular human turning into eyeless" thing has been hard retconned for example

If the island kinda went haywire during the 1990s, 1953 kinda makes sense

it might be plausible
However, in the end, it's hard to tell
As basically everything in The Isle's Human assets are very "weird"

#

4K CRT monitor with a modern PC Tower

#

(although, Don said that the words aren't final, iirc)

#

interesting to note that there are two 3-pin female connectors on the towers (yes, the CRTs shouldn't have a tower)
This is interesting, they wouldn't be used for power, but for audio (XLR) ||As they have an AC female connector anyways||

Would be cool to see XLR input in The Isle 🙂 (Fake MIDI)

acoustic osprey
# topaz lance What would be cooler is that If you can play as this abominations but there can ...

I'm not really a fan of the idea
Although, yes, it's certainly cool and makes it more of a limited world event (albeit, more of a "first to become a strain wins!", which I'm iffy on- would be cool to see for unofficials to test and trial)

But the idea of sacrificing your something is a cool idea, and has been talked about before
Although, it's slightly altered.

As far as we know, Tribals (Cannibals) will be sacrificing things onto an altar for The Replicator to be rewarded by her
Maybe a more POV Altar? But, I can imagine having one/a few POV Altars would denote to camping
To which I wonder if that might allow us to play as The Eyeless.

I do find it interesting that the strain "reference" in the elder description was removed last year.
Either they didn't want to publicly discuss it, as it might still be in a 50/50 not sure how to do it yet stage
or that Strains will have a completely new way to be obtained, rather than just an alternative reward for some playables when they finish the elder stage
Unless "But dying in any other fashion..." has a completely different meaning, rather than just ||to how I read it|| "if you die from anything other than forfeiting, you wont get your reward"

Alas, who knows.
Have to wait and see what they have planned for Strains

modern rover
#

i'd be interested in the idea of the human strains being playable, even echidna, but obviously they'd have to be SUPER tough

acoustic osprey
#

Honestly, if it was just Eyeless, I'd be fine

#

thats fair

#

if the eyeless' whole gimmick was seeing through sound and echolocation, i'm sold

I'm looking forward to the idea of humans as glass cannons, but hoiw powerful are bullets going to be? two shot an omni? One shot head shot?

modern rover
rapid chasm
#

Meaning something like a hypsi would get blown to bits if shot at by a 9mm about 5ish times.

#

A shotgun with slugs would be most effective against raptors, and pretty much everything, but its restricted to close range.

#

A polar bear goes down with around four well placed shots if your shooting a shotgun loaded with slugs.

maiden sundial
#

Imagine a 10 gauge. Or even a 6 gauge

lyric marsh
#

Kid named 4 gauge KS-23

#

The lower the gauge: the more unpleasant it is to be shot

Well I mean ig it depends on if the weapons carried are military contractors or privately owned by Æ

#

There is a big difference than anti personal and game

knotty jolt
#

Ngl I really hope strains are handled well in game, I feel after a couple days release you would see them running around everywhere, as most if not every game has some kind of power creep like that. Hopefully they go to the length of making the requirements or whatever very volatile or changing them every certain timeframe so it stays uncommon

hoary scroll
#

Can someone give me a rundown of cannibals/tribals

maiden sundial
#

@acoustic osprey I have an idea for what O strain means

#

Overwatch.

#

Since overwatch is the process of watching from a high position another group of soldiers who are involved in a military activity and giving them support if necessary.

rapid chasm
acoustic osprey
#

But Overwatch would make sense, if Drone Quetz was "O-Variant"

acoustic osprey
#

Sure, they are faster.
But they will die, they are timed (and hopefully a rough "set time" before you cannot stop your death ||as a hyper||)

#

Excluding you can just hide
There are a large amount of easy to hide in plants thick enough- just look at plains/centre in Spiro

too big? Might have to opportunity to just hear them

#

And that Hypers, at least how Don seems to want it, are supposed to be both rare, hard to get and more of a LTM

strange shell
#

Potentially as a hyper you'd gradually grow larger and your hunger drain would increase as well

#

So at some point it becomes impossible to manage and you die

acoustic osprey
muted hill
#

maybe the longer one lives the greater the hunger increase

acoustic osprey
#

But if you just grow into a Hyper, I wouldn't mind it being something akin to Elders

You have a "peak" moment, but then you slowly die off

but, not too sure about that.
Depends on it's balance

strange shell
acoustic osprey
#

Although, I don't want an affinity-esque Hyper
It'd be a bit goofy seeing a Hyper-Omni/Utah grow into the size of a Brachi/Rex

#

but basically growing to the extent where it cannot literally support itself

#

Like, in-grown body parts (horns, etc)
etc, etc

Y'know?

strange shell
#

Like becoming more physically extreme instead of larger ?

acoustic osprey
#

Monstrous

#

Basically from old to ugly to "horror-game" monster (plus larger, to a realistic extent)

strange shell
#

Yeah there could be a "young hyper" morph and "old hyper" morph that is more monstrous
But I think it should also be larger and stronge,r but with some ridiculous hunger drain

#

Like at the moment you become hyper you have like 30 minutes hunger drain and by the time your hyper omni reaches the size of allo you have like a 1 minute hunger drain before you starve

#

(So you basically can't survive to this point because it takes longer to fill up than to empty your stomach)

acoustic osprey
# hoary scroll Can someone give me a rundown of cannibals/tribals

Rundown?
No

General broad idea?
Sure

Tribals/Cannibals are known as "Generation One" (in-lore) and are the first version of AE's "Human project" ||not to say there aren't any other human projects, there might just be... looking at Colossus/Echidna/Reaper||
That's it

They also sacrifice things to The Replicator, but not themselves, for rewards
They are also, likely, still connected with Echidna- she likely still being their "Adopted Mother"

acoustic osprey
#

I don't mind it growing larger
just nothing crazy and unrealistic for the creature

strange shell
#

Hm
Some sizes are already crazy and unrealistic for the creature

#

Like old H-Rex

I get what you mean
We don't want things like BoB

Aye

#

I don't mind a Hyper Omni growing into the size of an Allo/elder Allo
(albeit, not too sure on the sizes of an Allo)

but something fitting for the creature
on the realistic sci-fi level

#

Also I heard something about herbs not being able to become hypers, if so then gameplay wise wouldn't it just give less incentive to play herbs lmao, sure neuro and tisso exist but hyper is basically the poster child for the strains and it seems like herbs would just be a bit more lacking in the "endgame"

nocturne cosmos
#

herbis cant become any strains

knotty jolt
#

Ok but if that's true then what Is the point of playing herb lmao, players being players will flock to the strain compatible dinos because "big stronk" and your not really gonna see much of anything else

Hypers aren't an "endgame"

Not everyone is gonna become a hyper at some point

#

however, how would you make sense of it?

acoustic osprey
#

It's also that, unless otherwise mentioned, that only a few select carnis will have the opportunity to become a Hyper/other strains

#

I'm still curious as to how Neurotenics and Tissoplastics will be limited, especially since it was solidified relatively recently by Kissen that all strains aren't meant to be permanent. With Hypers, sure, their metabolism eventually gets too much for them to handle.....but what about the others? Having it be the same thing just a different stat (like Neuros lose water super fast) sounds cheap....so hopefully nothing like that.

#

Though I do very much like the ideas of Neuros' brains just "overloading" in some manner and Tissos having like lactic acid buildup melt them from within (though the latter only works with the original concept for them)

#

I also hope the limitations kinda scale with the respective strain's power. So like Hypers make sense dying off so quickly since their power is tremendous, whereas Neuros are jellyfish wizards and are all squishy, so they last a bit longer.

acoustic osprey
#

Thought so anyways
All strains should be limited, in their own way

bold crater
#

Some time ago, yeah. She mentioned briefly that strains aren't meant to be a permanent presence.

acoustic osprey
#

Good

#

Hopefully it's not the same route as Hypers though

gentle vessel
#

I’d have neuros be a self wear down thing

#

The more you use the powers the strain grants, the more you wear down

#

Less health, less stam, etc

modern rover

#

I would love if each strain has to target a specific faction to stay alive longer
Hypers have fast hunger drain>they need to eat dinos
Neuros may need to steal specific chemical agents from human bases
And tissos... Would definitely try to take something from the tribals they can't get from mercs and dinos, but idk what

stone crater
#

Yeah, personally I don’t find strains particularly appealing— I’m happy with the juvi-adult-elder-repeat gameplay loop as long as it’s engaging. Unlockable patterns and nesting/perks, now THAT’s good stuff

#

Thought we had no idea what tissos even WERE at this point??

icy onyx

It just seems like an unneeded and overly complicated to balance system that turns the game from a survival game to a race to the top

#

Wondering if AE had attack helicopters to deter larger assets such ad hypers

modern rover
#

more than likely they used the hyper gun, whatever that is

#

seems a little weird for a medical company to buy that much top-of-the-line military equipment tbh, probably would start raising a lot of red flags and attract a good few government agencies

#

A apache which uses dummy rounds works great

acoustic osprey
#

If there is no other solution to stop Hypers and/or other strains that are on a rampage, such thing would need to exist

#

*even then, such gun might not even be able to properly "kill" a Hyper; It might just stop/temporarily immobilise the creature

gentle vessel
#

Also as light said, even if it’s your work, you don’t want that work going rampant and causing more damage and set backs

#

At that point best to restart and start over clean

Can someone explain to me what these “strains” are? I haven’t been able to find much online?

maiden sundial
#

The neurotenic I don't know much about. Same with the tissplastic

acoustic osprey
#

Magnas were the true "variants"
Strains were more so "Boosted and enhanced of the original animal"

#

might be the same case if we still are able to grow from Elder to strain

#

Hyperendocrin's have an overly excessive activity of hormones in the endocrine system; Meaning faster metabolism, increased appetite, etc
It also likely touches (almost obviously) growth hormones, which means Hypers likely have acromegaly or something akin to it

acoustic osprey
#

if tisso = tissue

#

And the same with Neurotenic
Which could refer to "something" used upon a subject (Neuro-goo) that relates to the brain/nervous system

#

However, I'm still wondering if they're still being linked with weather? Which was always a bit of a weird aspect in Legacy lore

#

and felt like a bit of a cheap way to give Neuro's an ability.

I would rather spino makes it like, foggy

Or makes the illusion of rain, less actual rain

Honestly hell. Let neuros predict weather, less change it on command,
Like sensing changes in atmosphere and the like

#

So they can use it in their kunnin plans

maiden sundial

But ye, giving neuros a kind of weather detection thing would be neat, so they can go

“ok I want to kill this merc base, but if they see me they will shred me, so I will come back in 2 days when it’s raining at night for maximum cover”

I feel like neuro’s should just change weather if they’re to compete with hypers

Like a hyper can tank 50 cals, being able to make it rain ain’t too much to ask for

Troodon venom is probably more or less necrotic and paralytic

At long range you're still not dealing maximum damage though? And based on the fact that humans are less geared for the "kill everything" playstyle and much more on the "survive insurmountable odds" playstyle, I'm doubting there'll be many sitautions that let you go around blasting pachies

acoustic osprey

It'd be weird that AE product has to kill other AE product, especially if they're not a strain

Of course, if X animal is trying to kill you
What can you do?

for rex's and carnos

nah, carnos easily dying is also lame

#

thats a 2 hour growtime, it should at least be able to survive humans consistently

icy onyx
#

I mean obviously not a instant or fast kill but a carno should be punished for running straight into a human base if they are armed

modern rover
#

into a human base, obviously, but out in the plains, carno should have the vast advantage

Hold on wouldn't a hyper increased endocrine system basically have every hormone that a species produces go into overdrive?

acoustic osprey

Considering the thymus is both endocrine and immune system

#

They'd make excellent subjects for seeing how the immune system is affected

acoustic osprey
#

just being a hyper anything just means everything else has to be on your level to survive

#

But, then it wouldn't really be a hyper if everything else was sustainable for it survive
As everything else, theoretically, would be a hyper/equivalent for both a hyper to survive and for them (everything else) to sustainably survive in an ecosystem

Genetic manipulation is the cause for hyperendocrins metabolism. As for the reason, I think it rather has something to do with curing deadly illnesses, regeneration or even immortality. Of course it didn't work as intended.

acoustic osprey
#

having a "hyper" "endocrine system" would entail a faster metabolism
As anything related to hormones would be, basically being boosted/increased to an excessive extent

Why?
Medical reasons

#

A bit strange
But yes, apparently, it's all/mostly (at least to public knowledge) it's medical

icy onyx
#

Harvest hormones

#

Also there’s a Type H animal that could fictionally get away with being sustainable

Which is Deinosuchus

#

As it’s ectothermic

hello I had an idea for humans later so I explain to you they are the right a base he captures dinosaurs like in jurassic world a raptor land you have to feed them all his and the raptor kills he must escape trying to eat humans or create if humans way who is trained to do a tranquilizer arrow hole or kill after it is just an idea

The lore is part of the reason jurassic park happened and the people made monsters along with the dinosaurs

strange shell
icy onyx
#

I know

#

i just saying they both brought dinosaurs to life again

modern rover
#

AE's methods and InGen's methods are quite different

icy onyx
modern rover
#

InGen clones the dinosaur using DNA from mosquitos trapped in amber, using DNA from modern day animals to fill in the gaps, or change the animal to fit a specific purpose

AE builds from the ground up, using the dinosaur's skeleton and known physioligy as reference, but not actually cloning the dinosaur itself

#

That's why they have version numbers for the animals, and the entire reason Gen 1 exists, because they aren't perfect the first time

#

With the galli doc, this is referenced. Feathered gallis were an earlier version that got "updated" to the current galli, which displayed new behaviours.

#

JP = take the dinosaur itself and remake it, fill in the gaps where necessary

The Isle = use the organism as a reference for your creation, make a creature based on that reference, then update dependent on what the outcome is, and what you want the outcome to be

#

The paleo-inaccuracies in The Isle are quite literally canon, because if AE wants the animal to be a certain way, they can make it that way, the actual dinosaur is nothing more than a reference sheet. JP has less of an excuse because they claim to be cloning the whole animal based on its DNA
