Dilo x Neuro ?
I think Dilo may have some Neuro DNA in it (the current Dilo that got released) because certain elements of its hallucinogenics don’t make sense to me.
Dilos venom is obviously a form of hallucinogen that specifically targets the visual cortex of the brain and it also attacks the auditorial cortex, so yeah it’s venom causing these affects is not „impossible“ but It IS rather extreme (the affect it causes). I mean causing harm to its prey through hallucinations ?
Ok assuming the dinosaurs feel some form of phantom pain, after the venom subsides any kind of injury should immediately vanish and be healed (since they weren’t really damaged in the first case) so what if it can through its Neuro powers cause some actual damage ?
Interesting theory, could be possible, my bet is just weird genetic mutation, could be possible, I just doubt it
It would be a great teaser though slowly implementing animals that have a fraction of the strains power
FNAF at freddy's
Thought: What if islandwalker is getting retconned to a particularly massive crustacean
i love that the spino looks so confused
Wha
bro gets spat on by a dilo and just goes "welp... guess that just happened"
Did he just eat a glow stick?
the venom could also just cause real damage and the affected animal hallucinates the cause of the damage to be the dilos
That’s my assumption, it’s just venom, but there is always potential
Yeah that might be true (do hallucinations cause bleed dmg ?)
No, its damage based hunter now, rather than bleeding
Hmm yeah ok than the Neuro thing may be a stretch
That seems juvenile and unnecessary
?
Anyway, this channel is for lore, back to pondering giant crustaceans and island walkers and matriarchs
isopod playable
Islandwalkers let’s chat
NO
Why no
Wonder if it transferred over to Evrima
They silly
Because it’s cool
But the name is scary and I love it
Like islandwalker that’s just freaky it’s out of where it’s supposed to be
So cool
Wait so with the crustaceans don confirmed that climate change is an issue
I still like my super tentative theory that Tartarus is originally made by an islandwalker and then AE took over
Made by an islandwalker?
Like, a giant burrow or nest under the island maybe, idk, I just like the thought
Where you watching the stream when don gave that lore
What lore specifically? It’s just a wild theory that I came up with
No the crustacean thing
This
He mentioned megaflora in the oceans in an attempt to slow/reverse climate change and a containment leak led to giant crustaceans
Damn that definitely is far fetched
Would they be native to earth or something?
Yes so he did imply that climate change most likely has a part in lore large or small
Dunno, it’s just one of those shotgun theories
Mhm
I think it’s one of the steps between agriculture and dinosaurs, possibly the one where they switched from megaflora to megafauna
They probably use the same engineering they use on plants for growth, becoming fully grown in a matter of hours or with bigger creatures, days
Possibly
You're stinky. Now go play the isle and enjoy the new update 
Howdy Anth
Damn never thought I’d see you in here anth
will do🫡
I didn’t think he would respond lol
that just made my day lol
Getting called stinky 🔥
Iirc he was pretty big into legacy stuff
That’s true, I just didn’t think he’d come in here especially for a reason like that 
this is why i love anth
Stinky is a grave offense
goated youtuber
He wasn’t gonna let it slide
His old lore related stuff was one of the things that got me in 
Let’s go, lore podcast has 40 plays per episode, information is slowly spreading
What do you see in the orb? We need lore predictions
Sometimes the lore theorizes you
Ok what if they are trying to do something unlike ever before seen
Basically the entirety of this game tbf
Well you see that’s where you are wrong they accidentally made stuff !
“Please let this be a normal server”
“With the lore team? NO WAY”
Impossible
Basically the second half of the paragraph
I don't think it's the top part to tell you the truth
I don't think it's ready for such
More so Meatylock
With the isle? No way
Why would there be dinosaurs and other creatures if it wasn’t done being constructed
Maybe it’s an unfinished project, but your guys are right, probably for maintenance
I miss meatylock
I looked in the comments of his latest video he was talking about how his internet is really bad where he lives there wasn’t much to cover and didn’t have time for it
that's fair
it's certainly why I want to try and do akin to what MeatyLock did
but, for Evrima
and make it mine
Havent checked on the lore in while what's up with the humans role/objectives
from what we know and have been told
Ignore everything you know about Mercenaries and what mercenaries are
where it seems like Humans are going less to be Hunters, by default, and more so going around and surviving via fixing up the map/buildings
to what extent? no idea
I feel like there's gotta be some pretty important stuff on their minds to put up with surviving the islands lol
They might not have a choice, but we’ll see
Humans have eyes about 9ft from the back of their heads
I like the work casual zookeeper drip they have
Ew why is there third person
and it feels weird to work as well
I will be genuinely upset if they implement third person on official servers
or just in-general
Humans should always be first person
Agreed but I will be slightly less upset if it was just for community servers
^
still
they should only be in First Person in my opinion
if you want to distrupt the true intended playstyle, make it a mod
No I agree first person in almost all cases
how are you playing humans
I’m afraid to bring up mods and how they will work
some unofficials have them on
😮
I can see Gen 1 being third person, though I would prefer first
You have the lore accent for it I bet you could pull it off
lore accent!!
You got the knowledge in ur noggin
You sound like this guy who explains Elden ring lore
hahaha
i suppose we should rename the Lore Podcast to the Lore Teaparty then
Whenever we do open discussion all call the episode that
hahaha

Low service!
He doesn’t know
I didn’t know if I was doxing him but he’s got his steam page public so it doesn’t matter
just because I lived in England for a tiny doesn't mean I'm British 🍵
Some one put the “British people when they wake up and realize they have to do the accent all day” meme
I don't mind Rump.
I'm Aussie from Malta with some Scottish heritage
That’s what they all say
It’s wild what some British tea can do to a man
completely changes a man
NO!!!!!
Anywhomst next topic for podcast is ERRANT-291, or we could do lore tea party between that one
Errant-291 is pretty interesting
Cardiac arrest is weird
I say, ERRANT-291 and maybe Augustus
Alongside potential theories for the next video (the diablo)
Neuro ability maybe
The people have spoken
oooo
Ahhh
wait, how do I vote!
Augustus and Errant are good ones to talk about together though, if we end up not spending an hour on Errant, we can to Augustus
lol
Somewhere where you find the podcast I guess? Idk I just make stuff and see the results
mmm
Errant is up next and because of how much it connects to, it’ll be a doozy
It was open for like 4 days after the podcast was posted you vote under the podcast description
Really? Does this podcast include the map he was holding
Yeah, that’s probably what we’ll spend the most time on, you can do a schpeal on the botany r/d if you like
Wait, that’s Jolly’s thing, my bad
R/d?
NO I’m stealing plant strains topic from him it’s mine all mine
yeah!!
Do we even know what it means like if it’s not a map what is jt
Is it showing relationship?
Not a map, it’s an abstract guide, so it shows us pretty much everything at one site designation, most likely gateway
if you want to be very simple, it's a map of sort
like the london tube map is a map
however, the technical term is more so a "Network Graph"
unlike a map, which is supposed to be a, more or less, accurate and scaled guide
network graphs are more abstract
and utilise features, not scale, to show you where to go
for example, this
Shows what is connected to what, but not the path or how it’s connected, we just know it’s GUTS tunnels, though the different patterns could be different types of tunnels
and seeing as the map refers to GUTS
It seems to be connected somehow
more or less a very lose and inaccurate drawing of the path
As going to "X" to "Y" is a lot more than a straight line
Exactly
HOWEVER
I will note.
From my original theories, I do think what the map is supposed to be has changed
from this rather minute section of the map
https://gyazo.com/a207cf394dd5ffdaa48f983cd06ac82a
I think, rather less that it being THE GUTS map
It's a location in which is accessed through GUTS
Right
I think this is supposed to be Perimeter
Could just be the entirety of Gateway, the island being the site
i think so less
it refers to Site designation
rather than island / map
in which is accessed through GUTS
I doubt GUTS is also externally connected, besides a plane or boat
as they're all supposed to be underground
Right, what I’m saying is
All of those connections are within one site, which is the island, since it says site designation applying over the entirety of the page rather than just as the one section of the page
I, more or less, relatively doubt this know.
As per my reference to GUTS- in which I doubted Gateway being accessed through GUTS. As we know GUTS are supposed to be the GUTS of Gateway, rather than an internationally linked spiderweb underground tunnel system
In which I could still very much see Perimeter holding all of these facets within.
The whole dome is large enough and is basically within the midpoint of the map, making it perfect to connect to.
Being a nice hub for everything
I can very much see Zeus Entry being part of if not is the large cylinder tube in the middle of Perimeter
Hades Entry being the tunnel near the bottom of Perim.
and Poseidon the tube from the lake
It could very likely still be wrong.
But the top left text just allude, to be, the possibility this isn't the whole map
but a single site itself.
I will take note in the wording of "Site"
I would much rather be on the side of this being the whole map if it weren't for both reference of "Sites"
- One with "SITE DESIGNATION"
- And the other being "General Site Designations"
If simple areas (locations/places) such as a Botany area is referred to a site but also the whole map itself having a "Site Designation", why would (If it is Gateway) Gateway be called a site? Rather than location/island/facility
I will note that Legacy lore islands were, relatively, referred to as "Site"
eg. Site AE-12 (OLYMPUS)
but to the extent of what it was, whether an actual island or just general area, was pretty unexplored
Especially simple things on the map
Such as Viewing Platform (H) or Lodge/Rec. (G) feels like a minor section that you'd install in all, or at least a small rec. or platform section in all, buildings/outposts in every island
As it seems like, at least from the buildings in Gateway, some buildings do have small sections for rest.
It would certainly be a bit strange or a bit weird not to include close by resting stations, especially within a job that could be very dangerous. So having the ability to rest up close to the site that you're working at would make sense
You make an excellent point, it could very well just be the perimeter base
Hadn’t really considered the implications of the Viewing platform
But I could still definitely be very wrong
This is all just after it being a year since that was posted. And now looking back at it again I've come to see that there are some areas in which we could be wrong or that we could be wrong
I don't mean to say that you are wrong. Because who knows heck could just be another island


Hopefully we ll see another document
But dondi did say that it is a bit hard to do anyways
But hey something may exist soon who knows
Christmas lore drop, I beg
Or maybe something in game
Anyway time for work, keep doing god’s work Mr Lightclaw

does anyone know as to why no servers poping up
Ask in #isle-discussion
is this game more cpu or gpu
wrong channel
but typically it's quite balanced
why all server are not working?
i u mean the game need more gpu or cpu then its need more gpu than cpu
wrong channel, better to ask in #isle-discussion
Average Lore enjoyer !
turkiye refernace?
Yogurt very güzel
I got excited and thought people were interested in the lore for a second 
I will comment here, though, what I have put on Vulnona about the "supposed" H4
Originally, I told Islemaps that this area WAS H4.
Due to the lack of information provided by Devs, I have been researching by using the Augustus video and going in-game AND also trying to make a coordinate system of the map (K15, I12, etc).
I have come to the conclusion that this place is LIKELY* not H4.
Aka. GW-H4
However, I humbly await more information for confirmation.
It is, more so, likely to be GW-E10 (or potentially D10).
HOWEVER, there is a chance of it being H10* (note the asterisk). But not, almost certainly, H4
I have made a grid system, using the data we have from K15, I12, Jungle I sect. & Highlands J Sect. as a basis of X and Y coords.
Which makes "Site-H4" turn out to be more so on the "E" y-axis.
However, (the * part), is that the "sects." go by biomes- but the numbers, the X-Axis, stays the same.
Making "Site-H4" still as "10" but potentially still as "H" or any letter close to I, J, K,
both are quite raw but show what need to be shown
I still could very much wish and hope for a better understanding of the actual grid system(s) ||knowing that I have to put a plural here is a killer|| that AE and, especially, within Gateway, that are used
I’m just imagining some poor soul strolling down to lore theories for the first time and seeing nothing but numbers and letters
Getting a full grid map of gateway would be sick, maybe in another report like ERRANT 291
HONESTLY
something like a glance sheet-style map OR blue-edgy UI (from the trello + Augustus)-style map proper Apollo Engineering Gateway map would be INSANE
Maybe a picture of the tracking chip system 
mmmm
Like anything would be cool
not really the exact same (or similar) artstyle of the Jurassic Park image
but something akin to it in nature
would be great.
I wouldn't mind not seeing the chip tracking system if we can get a proper view of the in-lore way Gateway was graphed
not a simple and basic, but unrealistic, overhead in-game shot from a spec cam
I feel like it would be an incredibly valuable resource for gen 2
but an actual artistic and fitting rendition of Gateway itself
oh, well, yeah. I suppose.
I can just see it more being a way to increase Dino Hunting
"this is someone's location, have fun"
i know this is not, nor ever, the intention.
But a tracking chip system just reminds me of Trapping systems
fun on paper, and on singleplayer scenarios, but can truly be painful and quite OP for a singular party. And only a singular party
usually for the worse
you could always do a fortnite and have a rough bounty system
"They are roughly in this area"
basically mimicking scent, but with a bit more extra steps
which is more than fine.
but it's still a bit 50/50
You know that terminal thing inside the Perimiter office complex? I can see it being mounted, so the Dino can move between location and travel to said location
it's a system that indirectly tells people to go and kill
oh the big black one in the Server room?
Yep
honestly it reminds me of a less advanced and more clunky version of a Blackmagic colour grading and editing station
Lol
but, no, yeah I can see it being related to or is the system that tracks
I still wouldn't have it accurately pin point a players location though
If it’s mounted, I can see it being used more defensively, like: hey a carno is getting to close to the base, here’s three bullets, go scare it off
especially in this AFK day and age

I'd certainly have it where
less "Carno is at xx,yy"
and more "Carno is in location radius, direction North approx. 0 degrees"
keep players on their toes
Or margin of error: 2 coordinates latitude, 3 coordinates longitude
anything that makes me feel like i'm on the Wall in the Nightswatch
and waiting for Carno to arrive any minute now
because it's close
but, how far or exactly close? Who knows
Raise bayonets
I'd prefer systems in-game that still make us, Gen2s, have to guess and hope. Horror over ease
Something to ease the struggle, but not eliminate it, because (I really hope) Gen 2 is extremely difficult but very rewarding
i've been getting into a lot more Napoleonic warfare recently.
WISH we had more movies and games for such
such a weird and very "chess-coordinated"-type warfare
in contrast to fast and wacky modern warefare
fast, crazy, hectic. Not for me most the time
I mean when the guns take a minute to reload, the battle will definitely be slower
but I know Gen2s will be hectic.
There's a better joy from horrorfilled insanity
Crazy, fast, hectic. And at the same time calculated, coordinated, and extremely efficient
of course
Are Gen 2s able to survive a single bite from a dilo?
Maybe, dunno about the venom tho
Second kills
and not for me.
Movies don't do it justice, neither games nor any general entertainment media
Anything beyond the 40s is not for me with warfare content
Imagine being evacuated after a dilo attack, and you’re sitting in the barracks, then you hear a laugh from outside and now there’s one sitting on your mate’s bed

Oh yeah, they definitely need to keep to this.
In which makes me hope they remove 3rd person
I believe only gen2 and MAYBE (hopefully) gen 1 will have FP
i certainly want to see more of what Gen1s will do and feel like
i know it's supposed to be, at least, less horror-based than Gen2s
I’m hoping Gen 1 is first person, would make survival a bit more stressful
more so, you're doing the horror
i always imagine the telltale jp game with troodons, but instead, i replace them with the isle dilos
but if Gen1s, in-lore, have been on the island(s) for quite some time
I can very much imagine them being 3rd person.
just depends on how the devs want them to work
i know in Legacy, at least, they were almost always in 3rd person
My idea for them being able to switch inbetween
2nd person!!
I feel like crafting would be less immersive in third person
If you wanna look around you can switch to third and look around, but if you wanna SEE the thing your killing up close and personal. You can go first person.
It works well for 1v1 too
The exception being the eyeless. Which I hope with echolocation it kinda works like an X-ray
The Batman echolocation thingy
I do hope they can actually see.
And not completely blind
More so using sound to light up their world
Yes
Constant state of excellent nv
a fusion on echolocation and heat signatures
you're not seeing heat
but sound creates a heat (sound) signature profile
the louder and, theoretically, more closer things are become more detailed and more brighter
I wouldn't dare say blindingly bright
I would honestly rather have a monofocal for thermal vision rather than bifocals because completely turning vision to thermal seems like a bad idea. It smudges stuff
And the fast that you wouldn’t be able to see vegetation movement because of the lack of depth perception
If they were to to for a blind thing, I'd hope they use something like the dilo fog
But in that they can see perfectly
Day or night
But using echolocation they get rid of the fog in an area of like 100 feet.
But sounds (like rushing water or roars) are highlighted blue outside of the fog
Make a clicking noise for temporary extended vision.
Mhm, but they actively can see sounds (stomps highlight the animal in blue)
Having certain tissos have a Deadly Nadder (HTTYD) tail attack would be interesting, give a strain a sort of ranged ability
Man what's going on? Game launches on a black screen and then closes.
Wrong chat, looks like you crashed
Oops yeah wrong chat
I'd imagine less smoke fog
and more harsher and thick
not airy
you better have a good theory moonaloo
They’ve been cooking for awhile god damn
OK so I have this borderline insane and dumb but potentaily geinius theorie, So this could be horible and also be contradicted very easily but bear with me. Ok so y'know how ya press tab and u get a hole report on ur dino right like its health, age, and location so what if we the PLAYERs are just a bunch of rich people that are trying to get more money by "owning" a dino and basicaly using said dino to gamble like the older the dino gets the more valuble and ofc the stronger the dino the more value like a buyin a rex is a huge gamble as its first off expencive to even aquire and then difficult to grow and gain value but that mf when grown will be worth some big $$$. in the same sence that like a herrara or omni is overal low risk as in low cost entrie but low reward as the dino is not as difficult or powerfull as well an apex for compairison but the small dino has a mutch hirer chance of growing to its full potential. this could also play into humans as certain millionair is getin there dinos masacured by some other millionairs dino, so inturn the millionair places a hit on said dino sending in merks but this is also against the rulse so the merks gotta be discreat about it and can only kill said dino with the hit other wise big bad things happen to both the millionair that placed the hit and the merks of course.
this part is some how a lil more bad shxt crazy but the millionairs control the dinos and stuff by sending simple comands to a device in the dino that releases cemicals that will provide the desired action this also give room for rouge dinos. so many possiblitys on this dumb ahh theory i cant get out of my head
so should i be let near the stove every again
for a second there I thought you were going to talk about EIPs without talking about EIPs
It’s an unconfirmed theory that’s parallel to EIPs, which are from legacy but haven’t been confirmed for Evrima yet, I personally don’t like it, but it is totally possible
You cooked up a decent theory, it just follows the side of the story I don’t like
wuts a EIP
it's less about EIPs, I say
You want an invite to the lore server?
It’s similar
this is more like bot fighting
but with real dinos
less about the humans being the dinos
You explain EIPs mister Lightclaw since I despise them
prety mutch dino casino AE is a gambling company now no one can change my mind
The two unconfirmed theories I hate for this game: EIPs, and active camo rugops
lol
It started off as a agriculture company that now dabbles in medicine, we don’t know anything in between, but we do know that the dinosaurs are secret from the public
That’s a lie, we know about the giant crustaceans between
im mean rich ppl got ties in tight places yk
True
But the dinosaurs are described as “unfortunate but necessary” so I doubt it’s just for dino fight club
yeah shiit its fun ass theory tho like imagin bezos cussin out mr zuk cus homies dino got got
I do like the way you think differently though, you want an invite to the lore server?
Embryo Intelligence Profile
Aka. Human conscious inside a dinosaur
Where, in legacy lore (no longer canon), your "Profile" (EIP) was actually you. Your profile on steam.
you were the dinosaur. You the player.
Sounds like a fun video series concept to make
hell ya
to be fair, it's relatively cliche in this day and age.
But would be very interesting if done well
It’s totally not skuffed and 100% safe for the sound of mind
I no likey
fair tho
Check DMs
Dondi’s going to swoop in and confirm EIPs at the last second before break just to spite me
Would lead to a ton of new theories though
from the sounds of it, seems like EIPs are truly no longer though
at least.
We think it seems that way
who knows, maybe Dondi is only "showing 90%" 
The lore will go off the deep end one day and then the lore server will actually end up being productive
I doubt we'll see anything though.
Xmas is coming up and I presume dev's holidays have started
so I don't see Dondi doing anything.
but, I can see the Diablo video coming shortly after they get back though
Gonna be a great time
for I second I thought you knew whats going on :l
I love how you send an invite before they even know whats going on
Exactly
Im holding myself back from writing a 50 page essay on lore and just force feeding it into that persons skull
YOLO
Do it
Destroy lives and minds
Hive mind
please oh please let there be more ai
Wrong chat
OH DAMN i thought i was in isle discussion
I still have hopes for a christmas lore drop
My dream Christmas gift, even above stuff to upgrade my pc
can santas elves craft isle lore?
illegal
The dinosaurs are actually just humans pretending to be dinosaurs cuz of ||kink||
EIPs reference
Embryo Intelligence Profile
Aka. Human conscious inside a dinosaur
Where, in legacy lore (no longer canon), your "Profile" (EIP) was actually you. Your profile on steam.
you were the dinosaur. You the player.
What
yes
Bro just has that copied on clipboard
it was roughly from 2 hours ago
I am sorry I do not know a lot of lore I only started playing from 5 month ago

it's ok, I forgive you.
i see
Run while you still can, don’t make our mistake
Why hasn't anyone been talking in chat 😭
We mostly bicker in the lore server, and save any serious conversation or any overflow lore stuff here
Awh 😦
You want into the lore server?
There is more?
You read the lore documents yet?
He went to Tartarus 
Yep
The lore server is full of crazies though, just watch out
👁️👄👁️
There are things casual isle players shouldn’t see

You can put anything in here, right? Not just thing s based on already implemented lore?
This place is for things we know and things people think will happen, if you say something that’s already been disproven or confirmed, someone will let you know. 🙃
Tasty
Æ is actually official government
Eh
Bros already here
It’s an international company, that is most likely capable of hiding things from governments, and likely functions as a government on it’s own properties, like the islands
Yep, it’s a show 90% and nobody needs to know about the other 10% situation
I have read through the doc
goddamn
what did u think
Im very interested to know more
somebody hit em with the..

Only The Isle
ISLE LORE
The lore must flow
Nueros should be able to manipulate technology and perhaps even a powerful enough one can even control to some degree
Thanks for coming to my TED talk
I want my echidna is actually in control of the replicator ai head canon
I need it
Seeing as Echidna can do the siren funny
Neuros, to some extent, should be able to play around with electromagnetic radiation
Itd also serve to explain why the replicator cares about the tribals
I still find the “neuro goo”? If I’m saying it right. Really interesting
NEURO GOO!!
Enlighten me on the nerd goo?
Brain slop even
It was mostly just this
ANY PERSONNEL EXPOSED TO DIRECT CONTACT WITH ANY TYPE-N BIO-MATERIALS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED EXPENDABLE AND EXPUNGED ALONG WITH ANY BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINANTS FROM CODE ECHIDNA
So I coined it as Neuro-Goo
type n bio materials... ?
Yeah I sure hope it does
OH
Neuro-Goo 💅
It’s coooool
Now I envision echidna mucusy like a frog
And the goo was sort of radioactive iirc, meaning just being near it was hazardous
So old echidna was a threat just to be around even if she didn’t see you yet
Hmm, would this imply echidma is reactive itself
Or expends radioactive waste?
Iris, you on the Christmas lore drop prayer list?
Idk what that could imply
I favour second
Never heard of that so I'd say I'm not
We’re all praying for a Christmas lore drop

YIS
I wonder if the isle will journey into the Uncanny Valley with Gen 1, I think it would make sense, seeing as they are almost/semi-human
El WHAT
Maybe it can look like those things from the forest 😄
We made a podcast, only 2 episodes, but more are definitely planned
🦖🦖🦖

Wowee what's it called?
Maybe, we’ve only seen 2 visual concepts so far
I think it should definitely have long limbs..
Gyaaaaattt
Shadow and the replicator
Here’s one, the other one doesn’t have eyes, but it isn’t the eyeless
Who tf is augustus
First Herrera to climb
@meager junco you have a fan
It's so long it's like a big podcast
Hour is good for a podcast, I would have expected like 20 mins
"it makes the dinosaur from previous templates" isn't it just a security camera though lmao
We go in depth, and there is a lot of stuff to talk about
Who confirms these theories?
Dondi
I’m famous 
That’s the only motif of the actual ai/machine that we’ve seen so far
Gaytt
You want an invite to the lore server?
"their face is hard to describe" lmaooo 😭
Sure 😃
Maybe it's ugly
Bro the replicator is a female????
I use her a lot but it’s an AI
What were we talking about at the time?
Ai are smart
Gen 1 
Æ is cool
You guys don't know a lot about the 'why' 
Dondi please if you see this I beg
It’s the best way to describe what we think we know at the moment
If we knew we wouldn’t be here rn
Go for it, also, check DMs
But will be mostly made up cuz I'm a stupid
Can you not send me message?
My settings I guess
Went through on my end
Oh wait
I'm dumb I thought friends list is at server list I'm new to this new discord update
Server very fun wants to make me want to eat people 😁
The isle is a one piece reference
There are dinosaurs in one piece
And also dinosaurs in JoJo adventure
So the isle is a jojo reference too
Bazinga! (That means it's a joke)
What is an ekidna and what is a colluseus
I thought that said Yummers and I was going to question it’s existence
Humanoid strains, colossus is type h, echidna is type n
Is tisso still canon
Yep
Oks cool I thought I heard someone say it was decanonized once
it could have changed and deviated a lot from what we originally thought a tisso was but still canon
Sounds good
Security footage of whatever was walking around
?
Getting a video of the Errant-291 incident, since I’m not 100% convinced that whatever was walking around was human
interesting
but yea it would be epic I hope don wasnt joking when he said he has some stuff in store for us
Merry Christmas fellow lore bois and whoever else happens to be reading this. :3
Relatable
Joe pie is a John cake cousin
291-A would just be him wandering in D-Section
I'd certainly want 291-E
An Autoposy report 😊
Lore people when they get footage of some guy walking in a building: 
gore is something we are lacking in so Im down
hey we are grateful for whatever don feeds us
beggars cant be choosers yk
Exactly
lol
we stay hopeful
keep dreaming!
isaac dont act like youre not dreaming abt the same thing
Isaac breathes lore
He is the teacher
he raised me
well more so
started a lifelong addiction of thirsting for lore
Facts
less a teacher, I'd say, more like Diogenes.
if anything, Apollo Engineering should be renamed Dionysus Engineering
seeing how crazy we all are
Same
Hush
We are all perfectly sane Isaac
Isaac spreads the lore infection, I make an attempt to collect it
one day I will surpass isaac in knowledge
nuh uh!!!
peace and love 😊
Attempt being a generous term
Echidna
Neuro, you need sleep
It sounds like the fire siren our town hall has when somewhere in the city a fire breaks out
Maybe there is fire in isle
Hpyos?
Or something else large is our assumption
Real lore question right here
Do gen1 eat ham or turkey for crimus
They eat John Cake
I pray for the day Dondo declares the entire lore as a fever dream or even better states that everything we know is now uncannon
That way we’ll all have spent our time on nothing
Kill this man
Nuh uh
Nih, more like… flea!
it sounds like an animal
Sounds like a siren
It's not any of the playables or ai
Still could be an ambience, we had a situation similar to this a month or two ago where it ended up being ambience
The clacks…
i mean it is part of the ambience, i've heard it several times. i thought it sounded like a siren as well but i can see it being some kind of animal
Really far out idea on what it could be-what if it’s something that isn’t on the island, but under it🤷🏻♂️
I think it’s a distant animal personally
Probably like some kind of bird or dinosaur
How do you know? It’s been heard in multiple different areas, and might not be from the same source
No lore 
I stole it
Because in game it came from a location
Triangulate the location and get back to me 
What is triangulate
Find where the noise came from
Ok
If you have two points in space and an angle from each of those points to the point of interest, you can find where the point of interest is relatively to the two points
Theory: the sky is a hologram and the weather's are fake
It’s probably an actual island
an actual island, made by real aliens
I mean the aliens made the pyramids so it's realistic
👁️👄👁️
Theories Lore
January 4th maybe, but leave him alone until the break is over
guys mabye they left spiro because of how bad the ecosystem was and it was all plains and mabye gateway is their dream island ot be on
If by ecosystem you mean performance and stability then yes
Spiro is scrapped from the lore, your assumption is correct
nice
No more spiro 🦀

Potato tomato
@lethal moat would u want to do a fan made trail cam video with me?
I’d love to, but I’m away from my PC at the moment, I’d check with the lore server next
okay 👍
Does anyone have a theory about the paddocks. About their maintence, how the animals lived there and how were they build
(i'd join but I'm busy today)
its fine, tbh it didnt turn out to good anyway 😭
Depends, there’s lots of paddocks and lots of animals
Ngl i care about the cerato the most
That one’s not particularly interesting as far as we know, probably the same as most medium sized things, hyper gates, normal fences, medium sized cage, domes, etc.
Yeah you are right but what about the herrerasaurus bc se can climb and idk if the fences were like in Jurassic Park
Electrical i mean
Probably not the large ones, possibly the smaller ones, but the Herrera wasn’t always able to climb, and we don’t know exactly how the sectors work or how they were attempting to control (if at all) the ecosystem, so Herrera might have just been something that did its own thing, even if the small fences aren’t electrocuted
Ok thank you
we tried, it did not go well 😭
The screen tearing
Lol that's not that bad, a bit more polishing and getting rid of the lighting ghosts would make it pretty good
how do i fix the lighting ghosts?
how do i fix the screen tearing?
Hey! Can I use this materials for my article about The Isle? Writing for ru/ukr audience
Become a UE5 shader artist, get in the development team and fix the game
bruh
If you cite sources sure
Ofcourse! ty!
Same vibes as “I just work here”
try disabling lumen for something else
or it might be a dlss artifact but i don’t remember if the isle has that in
@valid seal check the pinned docs in here, rumple’s is a good current lore summary
Nice thanks! Will do 🙂
just remember, most (if not all) content in that doc are all speculation from what we've been told from Dondi
so things may be different once they're officially in-game
I’d say less speculation and more things are subject to change, because we’ve been trying to follow most of it with as little bias as we can, but things could be subject to change, or we might have misinterpreted confusing information (curse you Dondi and your indirect answers that give more questions the second we ask a question)
Yeah, I understand. ty
I'm still on the side of speculation, for the most part.
Not to doubt Don, but lore has changed and moved around many times over the past 5+ years now
So to 100% believe the text of Don, like anything not in-game, can lead to disappointments
it's not true speculation
As in: Oh, it's a theory!
but more so, everything is dubious till in-game
Right
left
-.-
Lol
Are they even for the isle?
I don’t think so, but it’s interesting still
@fallow harbor I saw the thing and I like it :3

But, it's really quite interesting
Something I could see with the Replicator in the future
Gen 1 gen 2 situation? Could be another interesting aspect to it, especially since we know the gen 1 know where they came from, but do they worship out of gratitude or fear?
I knew it was gonna be rokos basilisk before I even clicked the link
My favorite part about this theory is that it can fit overtop of my theory about AE telling the replicator to do something and then not understanding
Lol
I mean, it doesn't even need to be about the replicator
Just about AE in general?
Anything about this theory can apply to anything big in the world of the isle
Just like apollo engineering
Especially with internal affairs it could be very interesting to see the future of this
Neuros?
I suppose it relates to my ltm theory, not really theory. But aspect that I really like to see
I wouldn't really call them really that big, I'd more say, just like the replicator and apollo engineering are the two biggest things at least from what we know
I feel this can apply to pretty much any change of power, it’s a fact of life/society
Yeah that's pretty much it
And even then this Instagram real doesn't really matter. Because it can really relate to anything even some Greek mythology
For example, Titanomacy
In which I actually really like to see something like this happening in game
But yeah, just a train of thought, you know?
Who knows what Dondi wants
Oh yeah, it’s all interesting to think about
Something else I’d like to bring up since you reminded me with the titanomancy
Quite certainly something to think about while we wait for something to happen during the holidays
The way Dondi said person or persons who are in charge of AE was dealt a poor hand in life makes me think that he said “or persons” as an afterthought since it was a little rushed, so I’m choosing to think that it is a singular CEO after a council of people were in charge, fall of the powerful to give it to the new generation of rulers, something along those lines
Was it specifically about the person who works with AI?
I'm on phone now so I can't see the message itself, do you have the link?
This was from the stream a few weeks ago, wasn't it?
The person in charge, it was on stream, same one with the giant crustaceans, he said that it was “someone or someones who was dealt a (poopy) hand and now has the power to do something about it”
But I don't remember it talking about AI though
Wasn’t about ai, was about if the person (or people) in charge of AE
Although from the sounds of this quotes, It sounds more like a rag to riches
Oh OK, typo then?
That was my immediate assumption as well
Yeah, it will be really interesting as if they can have a call back to Phoenix International from his rag story and became rich through making/several promotions in apollo engineering
Although that's more of a stupid theory and something a bit goofy
Something that will never happen. Haha
But I can imagine something along those lines still
Now I’m curious about what made the council from before not be in charge anymore, because we know it was one then the other in terms of AE ownership/rulership
I wouldn't imagine him being in the rags position originally in apollo engineering though
My only theory is either a ton of old people all dying because they’re old, or they were on gateway when it was abandoned
That's assuming that there was a council are not just a board team
Even then, the original quote doesn't really refer back to anything like that.
No clue how he got there, but I agree
You’re right, hacker did originally say board and that’s what Dondi responded to
Yeah that's quite interesting
Anyway, I’m going to allow Dondi’s inflection on a hyper specific statement decide how I view AE’s hierarchy until I’m proven otherwise 
Yeah albeit this section is very much presumptions about the whats of the specific
A rags to riches story for someone who either takes over after or makes a massive mistake would be interesting, although…
“Dealt (poopy) hand in life and has the power to fix it” could be more specific, like AE is the reason the person (or persons) had a (poopy) hand and now that they’re in power they have the ability to change things within AS
What happens to gen 2 who outlive their purpose: discuss
Not going to lie they'd probably take care of them. You wouldn't necessarily terminate sapient creatures, as they'd learn and want to rebel.
Æ definitely knows better to keep their tests in good standing.
Shadow brought up the possibility of them having shorter lifespans, then I compared it to the surviving Clone Troopers from Star Wars
Possible. But remember that the gen 2 are supposed to be humans, but better. Likely they'd have a slightly longer lifespan. Or maybe marginally smaller
We need more Gen 2 lore 
They ascend into gen 3
Like rump said though, what happens once AEs tasks are complete and the island is back under their control?
Would they try to keep Gen 2 afterwards?
We know they tried to make Gen 1 for most likely the same reasons, probably something along the lines of the perfect soldier or worker, not exactly the perfect human, as I doubt they’d want gen 2 so intelligent that they could potentially outsmart Apollo itself.
All we need is the answer of why Gen 1 and Gen 2 were even created for in general, possible private army company or something (even though Ik military stuff is despised and almost all neglected)
We know it’s for sure not for military purposes, however, that doesn’t mean it can’t be used as soldiers to retake the island, which is how I see them as of right now, soldiers who have to scavenge supplies rather than being given them
Right
And like you said they’re the perfect way to get a bunch of employees to disappear without anyone in the real world asking
“Where did this person go?”
I feel like anything being classified as Typhon in AE will be related to the Echidna more than anything, rather than just being the most powerful thing on the island, which is obviously the matriarch
I remember reading somewhere that apollo formed or something after an implied massive world-related event, I like the obscurity that holds
Something out them into the forefront/powerful position
Much thought, very curious
What is their purpose?
Are they more of a "Modern/New" construction by AE?
"Are they more of a "Modern/New" construction by AE? 🤓 ☝️ "
Given the name, I’d say it’s newer than gen 1, but I would hazard a guess that gen 2 came after the abandonment of the island, or at least the ones we will be playing would be, since Dondi mentioned that there are other islands that they could have come from, as well as the existence of gen 1 on the island, the naming most likely referring to the order in which both experiments were created
you replied to the mock post of my thought


I am making an attempt to be informative rather than yelling MATRIARCH, and hitting someone in the face with a baking pan of whipped cream
what is matriarch
this man is about to be hit in the face with a baking pan of whipped cream
@meager junco Can you explain? I lost image perms
Actually wait, I have the lore server, ping me there whenever you see this and I can show you there
Still need me to inform about matriarch?
You can
No problem
Thanks
Matriarch
Legacy: So in the isle lore, AE created a creature known as the matriarch, this was one of their most hidden assets, from legacy lore and from taps concept, we assume it was a massive creature, towering over even hypers(hypos for the people who still call them that)
Evrima: In evrima everything is basically the same except we have new information regarding her, she was supposedly a byproduct of Tisso Strain
Here are some of Taps concepts of how the animal might’ve grew/evolved
How she’ll fit in the game, we don’t know
Could be some sort of World boss like she could just be an environment thing, meaning she could just be in tanks/Vats
why?
I’m pretty sure don said there will be a very intricate and specific way of unlocking her
This is news to me
It was in an old dev stream dondi said something along the lines of “she may or may not have a very specific and difficult path of unlocking her as a playable”
It was again in an old don stream from legacy I believe
Ohhh yeh, like 2 years ago or more like, last of legacy days?
Oh then yeh I’d assume it’s changed a lot
He could still have the core idea of her tho so we’ll see
Yea we just don’t know enough
So much is still up in the air
Mhm, me and rump are really hoping for more strain reveals, this means concepts, new models, possible new assets that have strain like for example neuro or tisso dilo
For sure a lot of what we have consists of unofficial tapwing concepts I wouldn’t be surprised though if don took inspiration or canonized some of her artworks
It’s what we all dream of especially with matriarch
Even tho the evolving thing wasn’t something dondi thought about, he should totally use it for the lore
Broke the loud distorted audio part of rule 5, I’m hoping it doesn’t last too long
womp womo
Indeed
Check the pinned comments in lore theories, also we have a lore server if you want to join
They're oversized turtles who like pizza
Teenage ones though, not old wrinkly bois
And they know kung fu.
just realised that's hermes staff
Oh yeah, le snek
Hermes occasionally ferried souls to the gates of Hades right?
I thought it was just a simple magic wand
being, Hermes would take souls of the dead to Charon
Charon was the ferryman
then you had the judges in which who would decide your fate
Before they crossed the Styx. Right
Wonder if we’ll see Styx in the isle lore, an underwater GUTS tunnel could be fun
relatively.
"On this side Styx encircling its nine regions, on that a barrier of fiery torrents [Pyriphlegethon] encloses his [Hermes descending into the underworld] path."
Shadow and I discussed the possibility of underwater base connected to the east islands, like the ending scenes in Jedi fallen order
mmmm
would be a nice way to connect the underworld in Greek Mythos to GUTS and Tartarus
I also brought up the idea of the monorail pylons being used as fence posts for the underwater gates/fences
imagine if entering Tartarus cost something
akin to what we know of Kharon
A really high access keycard that took us hours of fetch quests to find
akin to giving a singular coin (Danake) to the ferryman
I do think a lot of that depends on how much control the replicator has and what it wants people on the island to do or not do, I could see the replicator acting as Kharon
Replicator not just being an evil monsterous AI but a near-living but fully thinking creature with it's own augmented way of living and viewing life, due to it being artificial and not truly natural 🤯
so it's not always just out to kill and want for sacrifice, but also to communicate
Or, it being a very complex ai that is merely following previous orders
unlike the dinosaurs, strains and Tribals
I would love a replicator I could emphasize with
I do hope they don't tone her down to the extent of current AI
and more so to the extent of actual proper AI
I think having both the replicator and AE have reasonable motives would make for a great story
living in all ways, just without true body
Replicator lore this year 🤞
something reasonable for both sides
i agree with Don that a generic evil company is bad
where you could probably agree with some points from any side
But both sides have still done terrible things
Make it a realistic conflict with the nitty gritty details without glorifying one side or the other, or better yet, do glorify the side from both perspectives, and you have to fully live out both perspectives to understand the whole story
I say no man is truly good.
Look at Hellenism, at what the Gods have done
A child would look with simple awe and delight at thinking upon them
but the reality, when you grow up and learn about them?
They are to be feared. They have done good... but not everything is good.
I want realistic conflict, where both sides are fighting for something they believe in 
Replicator stuff is fun to talk about 
just gotta know the extents of her
The cloning vat showcase has some potential, maybe we’ll see something
Belief is a interesting aspect but what if there is no such thing ? The Replicator vs Humans would be a great way to encroach upon the theme of man vs nature. Ironically so, because the Replicator obviously is a man made machine.
The Replicator a being that doesn’t „believe“ but follows a chain of commands and codes that seemingly originates from somewhere (maybe from in itself) vs humans and their ideals and morals.
This story. The lore, could be so much more gruesome and terrifying. An enemy that has no boundaries, no bottom line, no moral values to hold on to and that has no conscious vs humans that are very much limited in the way they act due to their beliefs.
Would love to see these kind of things mentioned in the lore.
Reminds me of Shin Godzilla but swap out big ass kaiju with hyper intelligent super AI that doesn’t have the ability to suddenly adept to anything
Or, alternatively, the replicator is misrepresented by it’s followers
Freddy Five Bears is maybe part of the cannon since there is no official source that contradicts it
That'd feel disappointing, unless done well
it costs make apollo angry
lol
Next lore podcast episode is errant 291, who all wants on?
I do! I do!
Nice, the expert himself, any other takers?
At this point his sanity level might be negative
I’ll do my best to make it although it depends when we record
love this as an idea for a boss that grows over time or as a player dino that takes 10 hours but is really strong
it's just hard to see how they could work around a boss-system in this multiplayer survival setting
it grows like us then once it reaches a certain size if you smell you see a skull if you kill it you get a buff like damage resistance or somthing like that
unless you have the Tartarus kharon theory/want
Oh no, I can see how it would grow and all that.
but it, a "boss", working in this type of game
multiplayer survival animal games haven't figured out yet how bosses would work
its just a big apex that can hunt everything
very bad system
more of a thing for players with getting Strains
it would only be one every x amount of time making it rare
eh, not really.
Dying to an NPC boss sounds very unfair for the player
especially since Matriarch is more OP compared to Hypers, if you compare downsides
Bossman, boss type gameplay doesn't work in multiplayer. It would just turn the game into "hunt the baby boss before it become an adult"
you wouldnt know when it comes in you would only know when its 80+ % grown
they can obvs tweak it
Yeah, that's why everyone would make it their mission to find and kill it
which would be at it's prime, making it basically an unkillable and unstoppable NPC
to this extent, I would much prefer a player playing as a Matriarch
basically akin to a Hyper being played
There is really no way it could be implemented. Apart from illusions like loud roars, or like big footsteps in the ground.
I'd rather matriarch not appear ingame as playable pr proper npc
Same goes for most other "characters" like it
Keep it in lore and easter eggs
I don’t know what I want yet, I need to see more development before I decide how to think about big scary things
Get this man out of here
Suit yourself
You wont be so smug when playable matriarch removes all of its mystery and grandeur
This would be cooler
True
Something existing purely in lore and scarce easter eggs ingame
Vs kill 2k babies to unlock hyper 2: matriarch boogaloo
Matriarch is too strong
Hypers already wash the floor with everyone
In truth, yeah.
I would only like to see strains be in-game as a proper playable aspect
Playables should be the only extent. NEVER an NPC
Unless it's an event, then sure why not.
I just want to see the matriarch 
i can see, npcs as very specific events, like an end game, victory, server wipe type scenario
like, lets say the win scenario for gen1 [assuming win scenarios are gonna be a thin in any capacity] is like, opening the gates to tartarus [assuming its a containment facility] and unleashing say, the colossus
in that scenario, npc colossus is good
The "time, place, species" event could be an aspect within that
But, it's a very random event scenario. So might be a bit unfair.
But, honestly, sounds a bit cool.
Just don’t be a deino swimming over the deepest part of the ocean at midnight
Lol
maybe say for, matriarch, it could be a small npc that appears, and quickly dissapeers, but never something u can meaningfully interact with
thats kinda my bar
I think they should be playable, but be insanely hard to get
The Tartarus thing reminds me of the Greek Ferryman, Charon, idea
Like, unreasonably difficult to the point of almost impossible
ehh, im dead set that making these special characters playable in any form outside mods, would destroy their appeal and uniqueness
Potentially the paying to go in, to go to Tartarus, you're practically offering yourself (being locked, never to get out. Or something along those lines of offering something)
I wouldn't mind an LTM of sorts
But normal in-game? Nah
No thank you, Hypers are already quite OP
Anything that is obtainable, people will try to exploit it for any easy routes
idec about balance, i just think making them playable will never be good for what they are supposed to be
That is, sadly, the gaming community
strains are a thing that exists, the matriarch is an individual(?) its own character,
They would certainly take away from about it
Its own species
I would like to learn more about what they’ve changed for evrima strains before deciding how I think they should be implemented
Tisso👀
Oh yeh rump remember the ejectable spike theory I had for tisso dilo? Never even realized this in her art lol
Hell yeah, deadly nadder
I’m also interested to see if they change the other strains, and to what extent
I mean I’d say hyper probably only gets “edgier” with hyper Rex and it’s tusks
But it could be completely changed up
Neuro I actually like the legacy style of it, tisso might get a complete revamp so it’s possible we see a more sneaky tisso strain than a spikey one
We dont have a ton of official stuff on tissos, so it would be neat to see something
Like tisso giga feels maybe more realistic than the crazy ones like tisso carno
