Would also explain limited resources for gen 2

meager junco
#

Would also explain, why everything is underground

#

Not even for secrecy, but for safety

patent ginkgo
#

true

lethal moat
#

It's a working theory

acoustic osprey
#

rather than just being high up

lethal moat
meager junco
#

True but I feel like these aren’t our regular doomsday backyard bunkers

acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
#

interestingly, this advanced climate scenario could be part of the reason why Gateway is so ecologically diverse, as its kind of a hodgepodge of tropical things that have been put into a location that wasnt initially tropical

lethal moat
#

Alright, so the existance of docks might throw a wrench into this idea

patent ginkgo
#

dang

lethal moat
#

We can think along this vein though, just not to that extreme

patent ginkgo
#

yeah

#

i mean we know that climate change isnt looking too great to AE

meager junco
#

Is it bad I’m sad we never got to see completed docks on spiro, just hoping we get a dock just as big or bigger

lethal moat
#

Nah, Docks would have been nice

meager junco
patent ginkgo
#

im sure it ties into yesterday's stuff

patent ginkgo
#

yep

meager junco
#

Puzzles pieces are coming together piece by piece

patent ginkgo
#

that may be why the "external threat" wanted to destroy the TOMB, or at least plays a part in it

meager junco
#

Honestly, if AE truly are the good guys in terms of trying to save humanity, then whoever is against them is definitely either evil, or is just plain dumb and has no clue why they’re doing the things they do

patent ginkgo
#

or perhaps doesnt have the same length of view

lethal moat
patent ginkgo
#

AE, im guessing, doesn't necessarily do things for the immediate future anymore (at least not entirely). AE probably functions off of a grand plan for the future, one that they see as a sort of last-ditch effort to save... something (presumably earth, humanity, etc.)

lethal moat
#

Long term plans don’t sell super well

meager junco
#

If they know what AE is trying to accomplish , then there’s definitely someone at the top of this external threat that isn’t exactly the good guy, if they were able to find out about the experiments were , then they most likely had the potential to learn what AEs plans are in general

meager junco
lethal moat
#

People don’t knowingly walk into a raptor paddock

patent ginkgo
#

was TOMB directly mentioned in the augustus vid?

meager junco
#

This external threat basically doomed humanity if they succeeded in sabotaging AE

patent ginkgo
#

also i think TOMB starts with "The"

meager junco
#

Impossible, it’s for TIMOTHY

patent ginkgo
#

given that don referred to it as "TOMB" and not "the TOMB"

patent ginkgo
meager junco
#

What even were the guesses we came up with

#

I remember biomaterial and something like that

acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
#

true

acoustic osprey
#

Don, though, referred to TOMB being called "The Tomb" as a more laxed aspect

#

the same can be assumed with The Guts

patent ginkgo
#

ah

#

alright then, good to know

acoustic osprey
#

but TOMB and GUTS is the more accurate term, if you want to be funny lore nerd

patent ginkgo
#

we all want to be a funny lore nerd!

acoustic osprey
#

nuh uh

patent ginkgo
#

oh

lethal moat
#

The TOMB to me is just super top secret storage room

meager junco
#

I do like the original theory that it was a giant cryogenic lab that housed a bunch of special assets

hexed forge
#

Hello tartarus

patent ginkgo
#

i have a feeling that Ben is in TOMB

meager junco
#

Hopefully BEN is special and you can only see him in one spot, I don’t want 50 BENs TI_Succ

meager junco

#

Bro ben is clearly an apache helicopter

#

Wait thats not even an apache

#

Thats a Ka-52 god damnit TI_Succ

meager junco
#

You war thunder nerd

hexed forge
#

Thanks

fast forge
patent ginkgo
#

mhm

#

so, from watching the augustus vid again, i noticed that tartarus sounds like either a sort of vault or a genuine lab for r&d

#

while olympus relocation and entombment are related

lethal moat
patent ginkgo
#

also, AE has a global research database, so stuff concerning the dinos is available to AE employees above a certain level globally it seems

patent ginkgo
#

while tartarus seems to happen to things that have potential or are intrigueing

#

so tartarus sounds more experimental in nature, while TOMB sounds more archival, which makes sense

lethal moat
#

Ben sits on a doctor’s desk as a decoration

patent ginkgo
#

im working on refining my TOMB guess

#

treasury seems correct

#

organisms could be correct

#

mutations/materials doesnt seem correct

#

and botanicals/biotraces doesnt either

#

i think TOMB probably says something related to it being a compilation of the good results of AE's work

scarlet verge
#

B is for Ben

patent ginkgo
#

genius

fast forge
#

Don said it had something to do with EIP's

patent ginkgo
#

true

fast forge
#

wrong bar lol

patent ginkgo
#

m could be mind(s)

patent ginkgo
fast forge
#

A physical location that has something to do with EIP's

patent ginkgo
#

and augustus was selected to go there

scarlet verge
#

Could it be like Biotraces?

patent ginkgo
#

due to being a success

patent ginkgo
#

however, it could very well be something a little less directly tangible

#

actually, if biotraces are more physical, that makes sense given what don has said about TOMB

fast forge
scarlet verge
#

I’m just trying to think what medical or scientifically significant word that could start with a B and fit what we’re looking for

patent ginkgo
#

o could be organic

scarlet verge
#

Treasury of Organic Mental Biotraces

patent ginkgo
#

man i wish don could tell me if O stands for "of" or something else

fast forge
patent ginkgo
#

thats what im thinking

fast forge
lethal moat
#

Biotrace is my favorite so far

patent ginkgo
fast forge
patent ginkgo
#

very true

fast forge
#

I took this gif #isle-lore-theories message to mean that he thought the idea of "treasury" as quaintly amusing. It could also be read as wanting to speak but holding oneself back

patent ginkgo
#

whats the gif name

scarlet verge
#

Temple of Organisms, Mutations, and Biotraces

#

That’s the best I got right now

patent ginkgo
#

hmm, embryonic intellibence profiles as an acronym should probably also be looked at

#

specifically the embryonic part

scarlet verge
#

Good point. I was thinking more about what could be in there that would get stolen

patent ginkgo
#

not stolen, destroyed

#

by what seems to have been alluded to as a rival company

#

or at least some external adversary

scarlet verge
#

Ahh right so it could be data. I hate being on mobile because I can’t go back and look as easy

patent ginkgo
#

that isnt a government

scarlet verge
#

Yeah I’m glad we got belonging to a nation ruled out

patent ginkgo
#

and the word "eradicated" makes it sound like something biological

acoustic osprey
meager junco
patent ginkgo
#

purged, to me, says more along the lines of getting rid of bad things while leaving good things

acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
#

what do we know about EIPs

lethal moat
#

Eradicated also seems more systematic

meager junco
patent ginkgo
#

thought so

hexed forge
#

Lore

patent ginkgo
#

so i asked chatgpt to make some potential TOMB acronyms to help me get ideas, and 10 out of 10 results had "organism" as the O

#

i also gave it some background on EIPs and AE

acoustic osprey
#

hmph

patent ginkgo
#

not that its foolproof in any way, but certainly interesting

hexed forge
#

So uh, what do we think about the idea of a worker village?

acoustic osprey
lethal moat
hexed forge
#

I would believe it will be on gateway, especially if gateway is a research facility of some sorts where they monitor their assets. SOME, of their assets.

hexed forge
acoustic osprey
#

having a workers village should be mandatory
unless they have to leave the island and re-enter each day

hexed forge
#

^

meager junco
#

Apollo Comforts aka Hotel for employees TI_Troll

hexed forge
#

Like kitchen stuff

patent ginkgo
#

i think gateway is a manufactured ecosystem made as a sort of testground for new iterations of dinos and such

meager junco
#

Or just a plain old 2 story modern home

fast forge
#

"Barracks" might be more appropriate

#

they are likely not housing families

hexed forge
hexed forge
meager junco
hexed forge
#

^ yes

#

A rest room for the employees filled with couches would be nice too TI_Troll

meager junco
#

But that also depends on how employees and/or Gen 2 really function in the lore, reasonably, it would be best to have a building that supports more than 1 living person if there are thousands of workers

patent ginkgo
#

remember don's recent stream with the buildings

#

it had some office and barrack spaces iirc

hexed forge
#

Wasnt there also a vending machine in the building?

patent ginkgo
meager junco
#

Workers need their Pepsi

patent ginkgo
#

also, im thinking memory/ies could be the M in TOMB

meager junco
#

I think you’ve gone through most possible meanings honestly, at least for stuff that makes sense

patent ginkgo
#

yeah, and i doubt don would go out of his way to confirm if i was correct

hexed forge
#

Jolly is reading dondis notes tbh, im convinced.

patent ginkgo
#

lol

#

listen i just had a flash of brilliance the other day

meager junco
patent ginkgo
#

yeah lol

meager junco
#

I just find it funny how he basically throws lore ideas to the team and he’s just waiting for everyone’s reaction on it

lethal moat
#

I won’t feel safe on gateway unless I’m in a sealed underground room or inside of a sealed dome

meager junco
#

I won’t feel safe till Ik Shirley is looking over me

iron anchor
#

humans are gonna be going through the greatest horror experience of all time

#

we dont even fully understand the extent to what creatures the island can house

patent ginkgo
#

hey im markiplier and today we're going to be playing a game called the isle...

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

meager junco
#

All humans will fear the ultimate predator.

BEN

lethal moat
patent ginkgo
#

will be fun seeing people discover the final lore in a proper way

#

not through external bits and pieces like we do

meager junco
#

I can def see him

lethal moat
meager junco
#

His style is perfect for the isle lol

lethal moat
meager junco
#

I can already see how some of his death reactions will go TI_LUL

lethal moat
#

“Stay off the sand?” This sign can’t stop me because I can’t read

patent ginkgo
#

"Treasury of Organism Memory Backups" perhaps?

#

i really am starting to feel like a conspiricy theorist now

hexed forge
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

I hope the next lore video is related to EIPs/tomb/tartarus

patent ginkgo
#

i simply hope we get lore that allows us to pretty well fill in a lot of gaps

#

strategically placed lore if you will

patent ginkgo
#

yep

#

cause this is where isle lore seems to really branch off from other things, and away from reality

patent ginkgo
#

well anyway, i think its reasonably apparent given what we know now about TOMB that the external threat wanted to make AE lose a lot of successful orgnaisms. wonder if they knew about tartarus?

meager junco
patent ginkgo
#

also, olympus seems to me to be a place where successful organisms can be collected to be shown to higher-ups, or perhaps to graduate to the next level of whatever purpose they may have

patent ginkgo
meager junco
#

That’s what I’m thinking

patent ginkgo
#

hmm, i just had a thought

could tartarus be the storage for the body while TOMB is the storage for the mind?

#

although again, TOMB is physical

#

hmmm

meager junco
#

I mean my theory on tomb is that it’s just a server room filled with EIPs

acoustic osprey
#

to note though, Don's reference to "physical" meant it was physically attacked
it may still exist in some cyber-esque existence

patent ginkgo
#

perhpas

acoustic osprey
#

only way to truly destroy a server is by physically destroying it

patent ginkgo
#

i mean its clearly a facility of some sort

meager junco
#

So it’s a possibility, but with crazy monstrous creatures that resemble titans(colossus more so) I can see it leaning more towards what the actual Tartarus is, a prison for the ultimate criminal

patent ginkgo
#

well, augustus has "additional replications" in tartarus after it was chosen for olympus relocation and entombment

#

which makes me think that tartarus is a sort of vault

meager junco
#

Wonder if they labeled a few herreras 174-B,C,D, ect…

#

After Augustus was relocated I mean

acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
#

and again, TOMB sounds like something that is for AE's success stories or interesting finds

patent ginkgo
#

what

acoustic osprey
#

hi

patent ginkgo
#

did i guess something you know...

meager junco
#

Could just be a server room in general, not just EIPS, let’s say one section is EIPS, another is research achievements, others would be files on workers and so on

patent ginkgo
acoustic osprey
#

unless a possible option could be "literal replicated brain"

patent ginkgo
#

the only other possibility i could think of is a sort of set of procedures to follow for raising something

patent ginkgo
meager junco
acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
#

no, ill explain

acoustic osprey
#

you mean you don't like them placing a whole human brain inside a dino body

meager junco
#

I personally thought the dinosaurs were designed so they can just have an EIP sent to them through a computer

young viper
#

i want to see an EIP in action

acoustic osprey
acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
#

more like a sort of blueprint for how to "convert" a brain structure of one sort (ie: human) into another sort (ie: gallimimus)

meager junco
meager junco
#

You worded that so perfect once

#

It was something along the lines of “you are being replicated”

patent ginkgo
acoustic osprey
#

I wouldn't say EIPs are a blueprint.
EIPs are still the mind.

meager junco
#

I’d say it’s it’s a change of vision on how you looked at it, less physical , more download EIP to Dino

acoustic osprey
#

if anything, depending on what TOMB is, that would be the blueprint

#

TOMB = to make (store?) the mind
Tartarus = to make and store the body

acoustic osprey
#

Chakra Engineering

patent ginkgo
#

lol

#

man this really has me leaning back and scratching my chin

young viper
# acoustic osprey <@1024109112151248916>

What would you feel after a unknown "something" in a laboratory put you to sleep and then the next night you are released into a forest, but 'boom!' Your body feels strange And you realize that now you are an EIP, any help you try to ask for will be considered an attack, your co-workers will not recognize you And they will try to destroy you Out of fear

meager junco
#

A giant facility with organisms everywhere

acoustic osprey
acoustic osprey
young viper
patent ginkgo
meager junco
#

But it seems I keep trying to think Tartarus as a prison

acoustic osprey
meager junco
acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
#

gateway still seems more like a place to test the survival abilities of organisms

young viper
#

Do we know why the name Gateway?

patent ginkgo
acoustic osprey
young viper
#

So tartarus is on the Gateway map?

acoustic osprey
#

we don't know

young viper
#

Maybe under the volcano

meager junco
#

Gateway is the key to Tartarus, could be under it, could be connected to it, we still have much to learn

patent ginkgo
#

given the augustus video, im fairly sure that gateway is the way to be essentially chosen for tartarus

#

or, chosen for other things, which you need to have replications inside of tartarus for backup

meager junco
#

You mean you need to be a gateway creature to go to Tartarus?

patent ginkgo
#

perhaps

#

again, gateway as a testing ground for new organisms seems likely to me

#

if you pass the test, the next step is being chosen for replication

young viper
meager junco
#

Gateway might’ve also been the first or second island they started working on(since the first is most likely where Olympus and Tartarus are)

patent ginkgo
#

the replications are then stored in tartarus, or even created there in the first place

patent ginkgo
meager junco
#

I still find Augustus video a bit off in terms of what Augustus is doing, yes animals do her curious, especially with flashing lights, but it seemed hell bent on getting those cameras down

patent ginkgo
#

yeah

meager junco
#

It’s very possible that the reason it only attacked in the first clips is because it’s night, and the lights are attracting it

patent ginkgo
#

throughout its life as well

meager junco
#

While during the day clip , it doesn’t attack

patent ginkgo
#

the day clip is not augustus

#

thats live at the time of the person viewing it

meager junco
#

Is it not? I forget what the specifics were

patent ginkgo
#

at that point, augustus had already been chosen

acoustic osprey
meager junco
#

Yeh I’d like it to be something more sinister is going on, like something is leading Augustus to doing these things

#

Even tho it attacking the cameras is probably just a natural thing they wanted to do, like “oh pretty light, bite bite bite”

patent ginkgo
acoustic osprey
meager junco
#

True but we can’t assume all the dinosaurs behaviours just yet, at least not for Herrera, since we only saw 2 from what you’ve said

acoustic osprey
#

we don't really know if anything else has attacked such though

patent ginkgo
acoustic osprey
#

Augustus was only noticed first due to his attacking of the MCAMs

patent ginkgo
acoustic osprey
#

this report being about him

hexed forge
meager junco
acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
hexed forge
meager junco
acoustic osprey
patent ginkgo
acoustic osprey
meager junco
#

True, and both were accidents from what I’ve seen

hexed forge
#

The augustus one however TI_DiloSip

meager junco
#

The theropod was literally just walking by and said move

hexed forge
acoustic osprey
meager junco
acoustic osprey
#

so we can't really assume the situation on the destruction of MCAMs being more or less frequent at the moment

patent ginkgo
#

i do wonder if theres a seperate way that large dinos are kept away from bases like K15 and I12

meager junco
hexed forge
#

Damn, wait, you weigh 7 tons?

#

That stomping was loud

meager junco
#

Did you just call me fat

hexed forge
patent ginkgo
#

good job

hexed forge
#

Thanks- Wait I should not be proud of that

hexed forge
#

Keep large things away specifically.

patent ginkgo
#

eh, radios dont really do that

hexed forge
#

I meant like a different type of wave/something else, I forgot what its called.

patent ginkgo
#

i could see something more akin to simply annoying frequencies of sound

fast forge
#

Yeah you can just do that with sound

hexed forge
#

Oh yeah sound waves!

patent ginkgo
#

i forgot about those!

hexed forge
#

I thought of waves but I forgot which one TI_DangerRex

# young viper ?

Augustus was too special to remain in the wilds, aka why we got climbing herreras

hexed forge
#

Yes, it was entombed.

hexed forge
#

Oh wait nvm, those replications were moved into tartarus.

patent ginkgo
#

remained

meager junco
#

It was just that 174(Augustus) was what AE was going to use for future herreras

hexed forge
#

But they dont want wild climbing herreras

patent ginkgo
#

no they did

fast forge
hexed forge
#

Wha-

meager junco
#

No they did, but it’s more about knowing why Augustus is special

patent ginkgo
#

the herrera that killed the dryo was a replication

hexed forge
#

Does that mean tartarus is just a lab? Where the assets were created/replicated

meager junco
#

That’s what I’m starting to think

patent ginkgo
#

perhaps

hexed forge
#

So if they wanted wild climbing herreras why did the replications remain in tartarus TI_GalliConfusion

meager junco
#

It’s a facility where maybe not everything is stored away but the bigger projects are, or more important ones are

meager junco
#

Either they were sent due to being outdated, or as jolly said, maybe we’re looking at it the wrong way

hexed forge
fast forge
hexed forge
#

But gateway was described as a "gateway" to tartarus, so can it be?

fast forge
#

I had considered maybe it's just a section of the island, but that doesn't fit the vibe

patent ginkgo
#

gateway as a testing ground for remaining in it is an idea

fast forge
patent ginkgo
#

dunno

#

thats just my thoughts, but i doubt im correct

meager junco
#

Yeh basically gateway the map, let’s you have the gateway to Tartarus in a way, survive there, and you’re in Tartarus (I see what you’re saying jolly)

patent ginkgo
#

thanks

hexed forge
patent ginkgo
#

to monitor the assets perhaps

meager junco
#

I would say the bases are more just to keep everything in check, survey areas, the creatures, the environment

#

It’s not like we’re seeing dead Dino body bags in the bases so they weren’t killing nor hunting the creatures

#

(Even tho there’s a facility for that)

lethal moat
hexed forge
#

Hmmm

meager junco
#

At the end of the day, they need to maintain and keep the island steady and not fall apart , so bases make a lot of sense for just general checkups everywhere

hexed forge
#

It just feels weird for gateway to BE tartarus as a whole

fast forge
#

I agree

lethal moat
#

Gateway the island vs tartarus the facility

hexed forge
#

The relocation of employees to gateway then wouldn't make sense

hexed forge
hexed forge
fast forge
acoustic osprey
#

I wouldn't say Gateway is Tartarus

hexed forge
#

Weo

acoustic osprey
#

The augustus video infers such

hexed forge
#

Does it?

#

Wait was Augustus the video that said about the relocation to tartarus for any disclosure of info

meager junco
#

Yis

hexed forge
#

Ah

hexed forge
meager junco
#

That was the whole level clearance 3 with a pass 5 keycard thing

lethal moat
#

Oh to have level 5 clearance cat_gun

fast forge
#

Perhaps tartarus is a state of existence. The punishment of being put into a non-human body and forced to be a test subject loose in their ecosystem. "Tartarus" could be akin to "The Wilds"

fast forge
#

That would explain why an EIP in a gen 2 body could be punished by "relocation" to tartarus, while also being a location in which Augustus replications "remain"

hexed forge
#

But then if that's the case the replicated herreras remaining in tartarus wouldn't mak- OOHHHHHHHHHH I SEE NOW

#

Ok now I'm lost

meager junco
#

We all are, tis the tale of lore

hexed forge
#

I understood the first part, you lost me on the second

fast forge
#

I'm just trying to reconcile these two versions of tartarus mentioned in the augustus video

meager junco
#

Any ideas are good ideas imo, rather theorize all day then argue with people

hexed forge
#

Hmm

hexed forge
#

We need more details on tartarus TI_LetsGo

fast forge
#

If we run with the theory that TOMB is the location where EIP's are held, and 174 "was selected by management for OLYMPUS relocation and entombment", perhaps the EIP inside Augustus got a promotion up to OLYMPUS? I dunno if I like this idea, but it is intriguing...

lethal moat
#

I think the tomb is more a storage for successful instances of EIPs rather than the EIPs themselves, that way AE can look back on what was successful and what wasn’t and change current EIPs to that, Olympus central control or the replicator seem better candidates for EIP management than the TOMB in my opinion

fast forge
#

fair

fast forge
#

But what sticks for me is if hererra climbing is an anomalous trait, and EIP's are just a mind inside, how can you reward the mind for what is effectively a genetic trait (the emergent ability to climb)

#

Or rather, why would the EIP be the valuable part?

patent ginkgo
#

It could be the unique combination of mind and body

lethal moat
fast forge
#

Or perhaps the EIP's are the only dinosaur parts of the dinosaur? Like, they found a way to pluck "souls" from the depths of time, and build a body around that.

#

So in this scenario, the real hererras in the Triassic could climb, AE pulls some of their souls out, but not all instincts from the original individual remain

acoustic osprey
fast forge
#

Is it? It seems pretty obvious for an animal to try to climb, if it has the capacity. I've seen dogs climb trees

#

I dunno, my realist tendencies see the ability to climb as a physical trait, requiring specific adaptations

fast forge
#

Claws adapted for catching prey aren't designed for climbing

#

You make a fair point

meager junco
#

That’s why I find Augustus very strange, learns to climb(first to do it as well) then also attacks cameras

fast forge
#

Maybe they made these hererra bodies, and they put their Tartarus-relocated EIP's into them to figure out how they work, and the one that figured out how to climb gets a promotion?

acoustic osprey
#

And many children

#

I wouldn't call that a promotion
More so a head ache

lethal moat
#

Depends on the promotion, maybe there’s a hierarchy for what bodies EIPs are allowed to take, Herrera to Allo is a solid jump

#

As an example

fast forge
#

174/Augustus was selected for OLYMPUS relocation and entombment, not another body

matriarch just feels like a runaway experiment

meager junco
#

I mean, she was a mistake in a way, wasn’t planned(as far as I know), she’s a byproduct of tisso research

#

Rump is gonna kill me for saying that

lethal moat
fast forge
#

If the TOMB is like the svalbard seed vault, perhaps an EIP being put there is your ticket on the life raft, after global catastrophe? The guarantee that you are one of the lucky few that gets brought back

Wonder if that beetle is just a random thing tap did or if it’s like a special bug

#

Wait

meager junco
#

No way she did that

#

HA she put a kissing bug, beside matriarch, she has a kissing bug mouth

lethal moat
#

Mhm

fast forge
#

I imagine that, creatively, she wanted some bug features in there for creepiness, and it gives a way for a small bug to slowly extract dna from bigger and bigger animals

meager junco
#

It’s hard to tell from her concepts, we know in her art, that matriarch is made from tisso and hyper I believe? This isn’t canon ofc but I’ve always thought maybe there’s a little bit of indominus Rex in her, meaning, she has a bunch of Dino DNA already in her, she just evolves to different stages of it throughout her life

#

But in the art, matriarch was a complete disaster as well

lethal moat
meager junco
#

And ngl, I kind of think that’s still the case if she’s a massive creature, if not, most likely just tisso since they’re most likely keeping the “smaller than average dinosaur size” thing

lethal moat
#

We know tisso is for sure staying, it’s a matter of what else is in there, if anything, as well as what’s changing

So, we know gen 2 don’t come from gateway, what if they have pre-deployment missions before they get to gateway, on their original island, get a backpack, pack stuff in, fuel a vehicle, load a ship, and then have them shipped to the island all at once, or something along that vein, where you progress to the point where you then get to enter the real challenge

KA-BAR or a KB17 would be sick

I personally prefer it to the KA-BAR because of the serrated edge and it’s better balanced for throwing

#

ah, KB17281

lethal moat
#

Yes

#

when searching KB17 i found baseball bats

lethal moat
#

I’ll take that over nothing in a survival situation

steel summit
#

absolutely

#

a bat is probably better than a small knife for combat

lethal moat
#

Depends

steel summit

but the knife is more versatile

steel summit
lethal moat
#

Bat

steel summit
#

against a person it depends on what they have, but the bat has better range than a knife

lethal moat
#

Once we get larger than say, a dilo, I’d swap to knife

steel summit
#

if you get a good hit the knife is more deadly, but a good smash on the head of a dilo is sure to cause damage (if not even knock it out)

#

but in general survival the knife is more useful

i do wonder what kind of melee weapons gen 2 will get

lethal moat
#

Crowbar seems like a good basic one to find in the dockyards

steel summit

a use of a crowbar rather than just weapon could be prying open locked doors and crates

Environmental items could be fun for Gen 2 as well, find a 2x4 and can use it as a hitting stick

Troodon: Created from another dinosaur currently not in-game, a byproduct of an in-world character’s, “But what if we did this” to animal X…” -Dondi (Oct 25/26 2023)
There could be a "Troodon Overlord"?

A Doctor who created troodon could enjoy that title

So the troodon was a mistake?

No, just a result of messing around with another dinosaur species

also, dinos werent created jp style

my personal headcanon is that the replicator functions very much like an image generation ai, in that you give it a prompt and it spits out a genome that would result in an organism that fits the prompt. the prompt can then be refined over time through testing of the organism that the replicator "designed"

lethal moat

perhaps

we really do need more info in it

Gimmie

meager junco

#

I can see the replicator adjusting blueprints, but not creating an entirely new creature by itself

meager junco
#

Yeh it needs guidance

#

I’d say AE probably puts in a sort of blueprint of the creature they want, all the way down to every single atom, and the replicator uses a sort of biomass to start making it

I want to know what sort of identifier a biotrace is

#

The thing about creating dinosaurs from scratch is that you wouldn't have any of their genes for things like adaptation to a mesozoic climate

#

they would be modern animals in an ecological sense, because their genetic makeup would be a Frankenstein's monster of genes from modern organisms

meager junco
#

Yeh they’re made to live in this day and age, it’s why it goes really deep when you say “they aren’t really dinosaurs”

lethal moat
#

If the ultimate goal is to future proof earth, than what you need will be able to survive the future

#

Wow, that was such a smart sentence, go Rumple

fast forge
meager junco
#

Maybe the climate change will make earth more like the Mesozoic era?

patent ginkgo
#

the mesozoic had vast climatic shifts

#

also that wouldnt explain megalania

meager junco
#

True

#

I tend to forget we got some non Dino’s possibly coming

fast forge
#

Also the ecosystem during Herrera's time period (the triassic) was VASTLY different from the ecosystem of Triceratops (cretaceous). I think even the atmospheric composition was different?

#

So the idea that recreating dinosaurs because a post-climate change world is closer to the dinosaur time is shaky

young viper
meager junco
#

Yeh If it isn’t for the actual climate, then it’s something else that dinosaurs have that modern animals don’t , which is very hard to know about an extinct animal lol

So theorized to be some other way of expressing certain sectors. 717 being the entire east coast, 10 17 being the upper river area

fast forge
meager junco
#

No it’s all good, I like to hear what the realistic situation would be

patent ginkgo
#

we know don likes to do his research with some of these things, as when i asked him about botany lore he said he needed to do a bit of research on it before deciding specifics

#

so going in-depth probably wont hurt, especially with such a core thing as this

meager junco

I do see what tiny is saying tho, at the end of the day, it is a video game, and can have things that don’t make sense realistically

OH

where was it located?

young viper
#

(I really don't know, I was lost at night)

fast forge
#

If we take it to mean C-17 by our map, that would put it in NE Plains

meager junco
fast forge
lethal moat
#

All of which artificial environment creation would create

fast forge
#

my point is, increased oxygen levels aren't important, even with that stuff accounted for

#

it would make a difference for insects, however

patent ginkgo
#

Also it seems AE decided that fighting climate change was a lost cause, so higher oxygen levels probably are the opposite of what’s going on

fast forge
#

in fact, archosaurs and birds have the most efficient respiratory systems, so they'd need the least consideration (part of why you see more birds at high elevations than other animals - also the whole powered flight thing)

hexed forge
#

717 are the gates seperated the east coast and NE grassland

fast forge
hexed forge
#

Yep lol, thats why I think its a 0

fast forge
#

(for reference, pretty sure Isaac made this)

#

Based on looks I'm leaning more towards C than 0, but it's only like 65/35 for me

acoustic osprey
#

yes, I made that one
but it's replicated exactly from the official version

fast forge
acoustic osprey
#

everything

#

from the Dibble video

fast forge
#

mostly just trying to decide if it's pre or post QoL update

#

I don't think I see the new coastal sanctuary?

acoustic osprey
#

i mean, what's going to differ

fast forge
#

and there is no opening on top of the volcano (although I dunno if that would show)

acoustic osprey
#

the actual base of the map hasn't changed from the QoL update
it's not supposed to showcase newer stuff (this map) but showcase anything lore accurate

to use as navigation is fine
but I'm not giving anyone "X and Y" coordinates for locations
only the grid system and locations of buildings

acoustic osprey
fast forge
#

yeah it was just a curiosity, wondering if they had used the hordetest version to make the map

acoustic osprey
#

to be fair, the original map of the dibble video uses a very 8bit-esque filter
so the specifics of the map can't really be seen

fast forge
#

yeah

acoustic osprey
#

besides the obvious overlay of the grids

fast forge
#

your version is surprisingly detailed, did you just overlay all the images?

acoustic osprey
#

the image, itself, is just from the lastest evrima build (not Hordetesting)

fast forge
#

I see

acoustic osprey
#

as it's just a reimagined 4K version of the lower quality bittier map

#

but for the purpose of that map, being a grid map.
Everything is the same. Matched up pretty perfectly

Now that we have the dibble video, we can begin conspiring about the next lore video HypsiPlink

snow jasper

Its the rex

Next.

Theres ample evidence besides the shadow

acoustic osprey

and Dondi quote

and ample evidence to prove the shadow was a rex

also with the Rex reference in Augustus
i wouldn't be surprised if it was a Rex in this video

hell yeah

I would love a lore video about pachy and/or raptor. Pachy having incredible aggressive behavior. And Raptor, as we know it. Has some lore behind it. TI_DiloSip

That video barely count as a lore video

in what

nothing really is not canon from it

heck, a lot of us want to say Spiro is not canon
but it's never really be said nor stated

Hmmm

Hmmm, didn't dondi say that they might go back and remake the pachy video? Would be interesting to see it on gateway with the up-to-date lore

acoustic osprey
#

i'm pretty sure, yes

hexed forge
acoustic osprey
#

but he never really said was wasn't hard canon and what was

#

painfully

#

i presume it still meant the Pachy video
and, hopefully, ALL the old trailcams

if not.
I mean. lorecord time

I can also imitate it

Ceratosaurus lore video TI_Perfect

so
we could take it to our own hands TI_LUL

heck, make our own little headcanon lore stuff.

Would like to see seizas takes on every animal in a video at some point, she makes great stuff
