presumably around 30-50% of ice being melted
Would also explain, why everything is underground
Not even for secrecy, but for safety
true
It's a working theory
underground would be terribly bad idea for water-levels
Especially on an island
rather than just being high up
Not if the underground was on top of a mountain
True but I feel like these aren’t our regular doomsday backyard bunkers
why just not be underground and just exist in high mountainous areas like the alps
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
Alright, so the existance of docks might throw a wrench into this idea
yeah i was just about to say that
dang
We can think along this vein though, just not to that extreme
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
Nah, Docks would have been nice
“Some things I do may seem evil, but they are necessary”
im still very interested by this #isle-lore-theories message
im sure it ties into yesterday's stuff
but still #isle-lore-theories message
yep
Puzzles pieces are coming together piece by piece
that may be why the "external threat" wanted to destroy the TOMB, or at least plays a part in it
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
or perhaps doesnt have the same length of view
I’d say it’s more likely greed and lack of knowledge
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.)
Long term plans don’t sell super well
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
But I do agree lack of knowledge could be a key part of it
People don’t knowingly walk into a raptor paddock
was TOMB directly mentioned in the augustus vid?
This external threat basically doomed humanity if they succeeded in sabotaging AE
also i think TOMB starts with "The"
Impossible, it’s for TIMOTHY
given that don referred to it as "TOMB" and not "the TOMB"
lol
What even were the guesses we came up with
I remember biomaterial and something like that
it's like GUTS
nothing refers to it as The GUTS
because the both things are explicitly without an article and are just an acronymed Proper Nouns
true
Don, though, referred to TOMB being called "The Tomb" as a more laxed aspect
the same can be assumed with The Guts
but TOMB and GUTS is the more accurate term, if you want to be funny lore nerd
we all want to be a funny lore nerd!
nuh uh
oh
The TOMB to me is just super top secret storage room
I do like the original theory that it was a giant cryogenic lab that housed a bunch of special assets
Hello tartarus
i have a feeling that Ben is in TOMB
Hopefully BEN is special and you can only see him in one spot, I don’t want 50 BENs 
Same,I hope there is a section that includes Vats
her...
How dare you assume their-wait I did the same
Bro ben is clearly an apache helicopter
Wait thats not even an apache
Thats a Ka-52 god damnit 
You war thunder nerd
Thanks
this also falls in line with the term "entombment" being used
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
#isle-lore-theories message Augustus isn’t ok, so that leads me to believe that Ben probably isn’t in the TOMB
also, AE has a global research database, so stuff concerning the dinos is available to AE employees above a certain level globally it seems
ah true, from the Augustus vid it also seems that entombment only happens to successes
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
Ben sits on a doctor’s desk as a decoration
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
B is for Ben
Don said it had something to do with EIP's
true
wrong bar lol
m could be mind(s)
nw
A physical location that has something to do with EIP's
and augustus was selected to go there
Could it be like Biotraces?
due to being a success
to me biotrace sounds like an item, at least from how it was phrased in the ERRANT-291 report
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
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
o could be organic
Treasury of Organic Mental Biotraces
man i wish don could tell me if O stands for "of" or something else
usually that's not included in acronyms
thats what im thinking
I don't think it's treasury
Biotrace is my favorite so far
how so? it seems don alluded to it
I thought the opposite. It's hard to interpret someone who speaks in gifs sometimes
very true
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
whats the gif name
hmm, embryonic intellibence profiles as an acronym should probably also be looked at
specifically the embryonic part
Good point. I was thinking more about what could be in there that would get stolen
not stolen, destroyed
by what seems to have been alluded to as a rival company
or at least some external adversary
Ahh right so it could be data. I hate being on mobile because I can’t go back and look as easy
that isnt a government
Yeah I’m glad we got belonging to a nation ruled out
possibly
eradicated less "purged" (to keep in mind, especially about the purged bit)
TOMB
purged, to me, says more along the lines of getting rid of bad things while leaving good things
purged would be as if deleting files on a computer
what do we know about EIPs
Eradicated also seems more systematic
I mean other than legacy lore of it(EIP is you the player, respawning)nothing really other than it’s related to TOMB somehow
thought so
Lore
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
hmph
not that its foolproof in any way, but certainly interesting
would definitely exist
but we need more information and concept art!!
yippeee.......
Maybe not on gateway
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.
And it would make sense to exist on every island that does massive research, right?
having a workers village should be mandatory
unless they have to leave the island and re-enter each day
^
Apollo Comforts aka Hotel for employees 
I wonder if there have been any "household" models made for gen 2
Like kitchen stuff
i think gateway is a manufactured ecosystem made as a sort of testground for new iterations of dinos and such
Depends on what you mean by “houses” you can have a whole block of houses that are one unit
Or just a plain old 2 story modern home
Household things that are required in the normal daily life of a human really. A bed, closet, and some sort of equipment to cook food?
Yeah
Doesn’t require much, and isn’t expensive if that’s all they’re for, just a small 30 ft by 30 ft building that supports all of those, electricity , plumbing
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
remember don's recent stream with the buildings
it had some office and barrack spaces iirc
Wasnt there also a vending machine in the building?

Workers need their Pepsi
also, im thinking memory/ies could be the M in TOMB
I think you’ve gone through most possible meanings honestly, at least for stuff that makes sense
yeah, and i doubt don would go out of his way to confirm if i was correct
Jolly is reading dondis notes tbh, im convinced.
Exactly, he’s even said we come very close at times and I’m sure he’s just holding himself back trying to correct/help us
yeah lol
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
I won’t feel safe on gateway unless I’m in a sealed underground room or inside of a sealed dome
I won’t feel safe till Ik Shirley is looking over me
man i cant wait for the full game to release
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
hey im markiplier and today we're going to be playing a game called the isle...
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
All humans will fear the ultimate predator.
BEN
I would love to see Zanny or Russianbadger play, I think they’d have good reactions
will be fun seeing people discover the final lore in a proper way
not through external bits and pieces like we do
Isn’t zanny that guy that plays stuff like Elden ring and is a pretty chill dude in general
I can def see him
Yes, head singer in the band “Clankers in Pajamas”
His style is perfect for the isle lol
I agree, perfect mix of silly, screaming, and appreciation, mixed with valid critique
I can already see how some of his death reactions will go 
“Stay off the sand?” This sign can’t stop me because I can’t read
"Treasury of Organism Memory Backups" perhaps?
i really am starting to feel like a conspiricy theorist now
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I hope the next lore video is related to EIPs/tomb/tartarus
i simply hope we get lore that allows us to pretty well fill in a lot of gaps
strategically placed lore if you will
yep
cause this is where isle lore seems to really branch off from other things, and away from reality
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?
I wonder if maybe they targeted a specific organism as first, but then saw all the other ones that AE had
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
if that is the case, i would assume gen 1 or 2
That’s what I’m thinking
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
I mean my theory on tomb is that it’s just a server room filled with EIPs
to note though, Don's reference to "physical" meant it was physically attacked
it may still exist in some cyber-esque existence
perhpas
only way to truly destroy a server is by physically destroying it
i mean its clearly a facility of some sort
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
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
Wonder if they labeled a few herreras 174-B,C,D, ect…
After Augustus was relocated I mean
don't forget "remain"
Hence why I still believe Tartarus is connected/part of a larger creation aspect
and not just solely "encasement"
and again, TOMB sounds like something that is for AE's success stories or interesting finds
what
hi
did i guess something you know...
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
i can only comprehend EIPs being stored electronically
how else would they be done anyways
unless a possible option could be "literal replicated brain"
the only other possibility i could think of is a sort of set of procedures to follow for raising something
fitting a human brain in a pterodactylus seems difficult
Hm, I hate that idea, but I like it too
wait
You're thinking like EIPs are 'bluetooth' connected through to a body?
no, ill explain
you mean you don't like them placing a whole human brain inside a dino body
I personally thought the dinosaurs were designed so they can just have an EIP sent to them through a computer
i want to see an EIP in action
EIPs were less "whole physical human brain + dino body"
and more so human consciousness, the mind, inside a capable engineered body. In legacy's case, a dinosaur
You have.
Many times. Over and over again.
more like a sort of blueprint for how to "convert" a brain structure of one sort (ie: human) into another sort (ie: gallimimus)
Yeh that’s what I originally thought, especially since legacy had more of that “soul” feeling when it comes to EIP
players
@patent ginkgo
You worded that so perfect once
It was something along the lines of “you are being replicated”
so is that saying that my idea is wrong, or more so just a bit more info?
I wouldn't say EIPs are a blueprint.
EIPs are still the mind.
I’d say it’s it’s a change of vision on how you looked at it, less physical , more download EIP to Dino
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
mhm
Chakra Engineering
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
Would make sense if Tartarus truly isn’t what we think it is, not a prison, but more of what we originally thought TOMBs was
A giant facility with organisms everywhere
You wouldn't really know you're an "EIP" unless you knew what an EIP was beforehand
I mean
I've never really seen it as a prison from legacy into Evrima
it seems far more both
what creates also stores
Ok let's remove the "you find out it's an EIP" part what would you do
or a giant island with organisms everywhere
would be interesting if the wilds of gateway itself was tartarus
Good point, I try to not go crazy on the similarities between Greek mytho and isle stuff
But it seems I keep trying to think Tartarus as a prison
#isle-lore-theories message
it's basically my ant talk yesterday
in truth.
Who knows. It's a very existential living scenario.
At least I (whether knowing or not) can be replicated again and again.
but am I really me? Or is it just something with my mind now trying life out
Thats actually a cool idea, the wilds are hell
to be fair
Tartarus also made stuff (the spirit that is Tartarus in Tartarus)
but Tartarus also held stuff that it made (plus others)
gateway still seems more like a place to test the survival abilities of organisms
or of EIPs?
Do we know why the name Gateway?
in which, it could be a gateway into said organism's advancement in production
Gateway to tartarus is the indirect meaning
So tartarus is on the Gateway map?
we don't know
Maybe under the volcano
Gateway is the key to Tartarus, could be under it, could be connected to it, we still have much to learn
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
You mean you need to be a gateway creature to go to Tartarus?
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
#isle-lore-theories message what do we think about this one?
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)
the replications are then stored in tartarus, or even created there in the first place
an interesting thought, one that we cant really know about for certain
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
yeah
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
throughout its life as well
While during the day clip , it doesn’t attack
Is it not? I forget what the specifics were
at that point, augustus had already been chosen
knowing that the CCTV models have lights on them
it could've very much been an biological response to the light being emitted from the MCAMs
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”
if it was, i would think other things would have
would have attacked the cameras?
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
we don't really know if anything else has attacked such though
yes
Augustus was only noticed first due to his attacking of the MCAMs
i would think that other things that can power through the fences would have, like a rex
this report being about him

Technically, dibble video, something hurt the camera
this is still a report about Augustus
we have no information if "X" has before
if it was a common response to cameras
I already made a theory on it 

two things did technically
its more so that they probably wouldnt have those cameras if they were getting destroyed all the time
(we're talking about it because Lego Owen brought it up)
True, and both were accidents from what I’ve seen
The rex and the dibble tilting the camera were 100% accidents tbh
The augustus one however 
The theropod was literally just walking by and said move
Its rex, no one will say otherwise
🔫
depends.
We're lacking a lot of context behind time, place and issue with it there.
We barely have information on how the dinos are on the island- and how that's organised.
Plus how they treat these animals in terms of their (AE employees) safety
I’m trying not to start a war here!
so we can't really assume the situation on the destruction of MCAMs being more or less frequent at the moment
The shadow!
i do wonder if theres a seperate way that large dinos are kept away from bases like K15 and I12
Tis me, that’s all you need to know
Did you just call me fat
We just killed the lore discussion..
good job
Thanks- Wait I should not be proud of that
This will sound very sci-fi but, some strong sort of radio waves that keep them away?
Keep large things away specifically.
eh, radios dont really do that
I meant like a different type of wave/something else, I forgot what its called.
i could see something more akin to simply annoying frequencies of sound
Yeah you can just do that with sound
Oh yeah sound waves!
i forgot about those!
I thought of waves but I forgot which one 
I blame you
Uno reverse.
Augustus was too special to remain in the wilds, aka why we got climbing herreras
Yes, it was entombed.
Didnt the replicator then start replicating the climbing versions?
Oh wait nvm, those replications were moved into tartarus.
remained
It was just that 174(Augustus) was what AE was going to use for future herreras
But they dont want wild climbing herreras
no they did
no, they remain in tartarus, it doesn't say they were moved there
Wha-
No they did, but it’s more about knowing why Augustus is special
the herrera that killed the dryo was a replication
Does that mean tartarus is just a lab? Where the assets were created/replicated
That’s what I’m starting to think
perhaps
So if they wanted wild climbing herreras why did the replications remain in tartarus 
It’s a facility where maybe not everything is stored away but the bigger projects are, or more important ones are
what if gateway is tartarus
Either they were sent due to being outdated, or as jolly said, maybe we’re looking at it the wrong way

I was thinking about that, but then how is it also the gateway to tartarus?
I had considered maybe it's just a section of the island, but that doesn't fit the vibe
if you pass the survival test, you stay, and its tartarus. if you dont pass, you dont stay
gateway as a testing ground for remaining in it is an idea
why would they have two names for one island? that seems confusing
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)
thanks
If it is a testing ground, why make all these different kind of bases across the map. Like offices
to monitor the assets perhaps
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)
I’d say to monitor the assets is a solid guess, maybe to make slight changes or investigate special incidents
Hmmm
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
It just feels weird for gateway to BE tartarus as a whole
I agree
Gateway the island vs tartarus the facility
The relocation of employees to gateway then wouldn't make sense
If the relocation is a punishment, then they would have very few working on gateway...
Agree that gateway is tartarus as a whole or?
I agree it feels weird
I wouldn't say Gateway is Tartarus
Weo
The augustus video infers such
Does it?
Wait was Augustus the video that said about the relocation to tartarus for any disclosure of info
Yis
Ah
So yeah that ties into my statement here
It wouldn't make sense
That was the whole level clearance 3 with a pass 5 keycard thing
Oh to have level 5 clearance 
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"
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"
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
We all are, tis the tale of lore
I understood the first part, you lost me on the second
I'm just trying to reconcile these two versions of tartarus mentioned in the augustus video
Any ideas are good ideas imo, rather theorize all day then argue with people
Hmm
I see now
We need more details on tartarus 
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...
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
fair
My thoughts as well
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?
It could be the unique combination of mind and body
Give it a better body, or maybe the EIP dictates how the replicator chooses to mutate things
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
To be fair though
It wasn't the physical ability to climb
But he grew the emergent behavioural ability to
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
It was
That’s why I find Augustus very strange, learns to climb(first to do it as well) then also attacks cameras
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?
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
174/Augustus was selected for OLYMPUS relocation and entombment, not another body
As much as people hate on it, progression would be the perfect mode for this
I like Filipe’s proposed idea of progression for apexes, especially when it comes to EIP development
So hypers/neuros/tissos maybe even matriarch would just be the ultimate promotion in a way
matriarch just feels like a runaway experiment
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
She can be related to tisso and still be intentional, a “what if we do this” situation, more of an exploring avenues rather than total mistake 
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
I SAID IN A WAYYYYYY!
But I do like the idea of a bunch of AE scientist doing tests on tisso just trying to make something out of it, and there she blossoms
Like troodon 
Nooooooooooo
Wonder if that beetle is just a random thing tap did or if it’s like a special bug
Doesn’t have anything to do with the actual lore, but just found it cool
it's a kissing bug, a common biting insect in some parts of the world
Wait
they leave big welts when they bite you
No way she did that
HA she put a kissing bug, beside matriarch, she has a kissing bug mouth
Mhm
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
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
Hyper for growth and size, tisso for adaptability I believe
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
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
i can believe that, but if so then gen 2 would of course need a few starting resources, you know like a bottle of water, a pack of provisions and a knife/machete of some kind
KA-BAR or a KB17 would be sick
(man i found nothing when searching for KB17, im guessing its a knife but ????)
You’re better off looking up Glock knife
I personally prefer it to the KA-BAR because of the serrated edge and it’s better balanced for throwing
ah, KB17281
Yes
when searching KB17 i found baseball bats
I’ll take that over nothing in a survival situation
Depends
but the knife is more versatile
lets say you're fighting idk a troodon, would you rather have the knife, or the bat
Bat
against a person it depends on what they have, but the bat has better range than a knife
Once we get larger than say, a dilo, I’d swap to knife
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
Mhm
i do wonder what kind of melee weapons gen 2 will get
Crowbar seems like a good basic one to find in the dockyards
a use of a crowbar rather than just weapon could be prying open locked doors and crates
Mhm
Environmental items could be fun for Gen 2 as well, find a 2x4 and can use it as a hitting stick
alr guys we have to determine what the mystery red juice is
A light?
oh

So… either of you heard the tragedy of “The incident”?
If lore is lore, then what will lore be if lore lores because of the lore loring in the lore of lore. Wouldnt lore become the lorelore of lore?
Fantastic theory, Dondi should see it 
A lore paradox
Best theory
low-res lore?
lowres
lowes
Lows? That one american hardware store!
I think my lore theory caused the lore discussion to die
Yep
Was it?

You tell me
Nah
Aw
indeed
ITS A GOOD THEORY!
GUYS
maybe the merc are robotx
bc if you kill 2 of them you dont get red eyes
but if you do 2 players
you do
so how is that???
what red eyes
I’m not sure I understand what you’re referencing
This server is for The Isle, a dinosaur game on Steam. It's not for the Roblox game
Favourite Fan made GIF
itsa a chat and sit simulation
Do you know the lore
legacy maybe, but that's not what they are referring to
not from my exp. people tend to just sit aroudn do nothing and complain when someone is playing the game like:
dont kill "insert dino" hes friendly
like i would care whos frndly xD
yeah this gif is pointing at the fact that in the lore the "dinosaurs" aren't technically dinosaurs
hahah lol yea never thought bout it 😄
but my point is also valid imo at least 😄
People tend to be stinkers like that
The dinosaurs aren't dinosaurs?!
Nope
What are they?
tbh I have no idea how it works or any specifics, but the lore people who were here before me say they aren't
Genetic creations by a company that look very similar to dinosaurs, but aren’t quite clones
Interesting...
Thanks
We also have a lore server and a podcast if you’re interested

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
Cool
And the next map is maybe going to be Tartarus?
Ehhhh, Tartarus could be it’s own map, but the popular theory is that it’s a massive underground facility beneath gateway
Very cool
Mhm, the mystery of it all is very fun and infuriating at times
Could you perhaps send me the invitation pls?
I messaged you privately
Didn't get it...
I’ll try again
Thx
Np
👍
I am dumb...
When/how did y'all find out the dinosaurs aren't technically dinosaurs? I'd love to see the original context for that
They’re a genetic engineering company, and they’re capable of creating new life forms, in addition to the existence of things being not accurate to their real life counterparts being able to explained as them not being dinosaurs, in short, we spun a messy web through logical connections mostly, unless someone else can find a better quote than me
ty
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"
I think it just changes what it’s given
Gimmie
I’m on a somewhat similar boat, gets a plan of the creature, creates it through the different facilities it’s connected to, then releases it either on the island or somewhere in the facilities
I can see the replicator adjusting blueprints, but not creating an entirely new creature by itself
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
I feel like we’ll get to know soon what biotrace is
Awesome theory time
If lore is lore, then what will lore be if lore lores because of the lore loring in the lore of lore. Wouldnt lore become the lorelore of lore? 
Or wait, will this count against this channels rules? I mean, there is no convo going on rn.

mb
in this regard, IRL we already have 3D printers that work with cells, printing things like hearts or other complex organs using cloned cells from the future patient
Yeh thanks I’m not exactly sure how it would work but this is probably not far off what it does
I can see it 3d printing an embryo, then nurturing it in a vat
My guess is in November for no reason whatsoever
I’ll double down on that
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
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”
Which is why you design them to deal with the future climate, rather than a past one
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
yes, but then that doesn't answer the "why dinosaurs" question
Maybe the climate change will make earth more like the Mesozoic era?
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
717
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
10 17
Whats my subject
The fences you spent a week on you nerd
Oh
So theorized to be some other way of expressing certain sectors. 717 being the entire east coast, 10 17 being the upper river area
I dunno maybe I'm going too far science brain again, and it's just another sci-fi thing
No it’s all good, I like to hear what the realistic situation would be
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
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
Strain biomes Weooo
yeah, like the map foliage stuff
We’ve gotten so deep in the lore, we forgot why we even got this game, to play as Dino

New lore?
I mean, if they make plants hyper efficient at converting carbon dioxide to Oxygen, you can then create a more resilient ecosystem that requires more oxygen, like megafauna

is that 10 17? Looks like 1C 17 to me
where was it located?
in Gateway 
(I really don't know, I was lost at night)
If we take it to mean C-17 by our map, that would put it in NE Plains
Me and jolly had a similar theory not long ago
realistically, the constraining factor on size in vertebrates isn't oxygen levels, it's things like niche availability, food availability, physical constraints (i.e. bones can only hold so much weight), and evolutionary inertia (it takes a bit to evolve big animals, even when the other factors are there)
All of which artificial environment creation would create
my point is, increased oxygen levels aren't important, even with that stuff accounted for
it would make a difference for insects, however
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
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)
10/C 17 is in the riverdelta jungle
717 are the gates seperated the east coast and NE grassland
okay, so it doesn't match our map at all
Yep lol, thats why I think its a 0
(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
yes, I made that one
but it's replicated exactly from the official version
the lat/long or the topography?
mostly just trying to decide if it's pre or post QoL update
I don't think I see the new coastal sanctuary?
i mean, what's going to differ
and there is no opening on top of the volcano (although I dunno if that would show)
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
there isn't in the image
it's just darker due to contrast via the effects
yeah it was just a curiosity, wondering if they had used the hordetest version to make the map
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
yeah
besides the obvious overlay of the grids
your version is surprisingly detailed, did you just overlay all the images?
the image, itself, is just from the lastest evrima build (not Hordetesting)
I see
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 
The Shadow?
Theres ample evidence besides the shadow
and Dondi quote
and ample evidence to prove the shadow was a rex
What quote 😧
also with the Rex reference in Augustus
i wouldn't be surprised if it was a Rex in this video
forgot which one
but it basically dismissed Allo indirectly
hell yeah
honestly, it'll likely be one of the next planned creatures
I wouldn't be surprised IF it was Rex (Shirley)
having a spotlight would be really interesting
two references would make sense for it to be her. Make a proper lore spotlight
Third time `s a charm
mmmm
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. 
Technically already a pachy video
erm ^
That video barely count as a lore video
erm
Pretty sure there is nothing there Canon to the lore 🤔
But is there any Canon lore?
in what
i mean
nothing really is not canon from it
spiro
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
i'm pretty sure, yes

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
Hacker perfected the style shown in the videos
I can also imitate it
Ceratosaurus lore video 
so
we could take it to our own hands 
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
Less extreme than Apollo Files- doing their own lore and what not
Hacker has some insane skill, wouldn't be surprised if he got hired as the second video editor for the videos.
I‘ve been meaning to make a fanfiction going off of everything we currently know about the lore atm
aye, looking at the dibble video vs augustus video
Which are pretty different- so I do hope this variation is sustained
Definitely
She just captures the field research recording thing so well
I wonder what beipi would be? Beipi develops eating habits of underwater foliage? Would be a nice video/teaser for the mechanic.
High quality trail camera versus low quality gate camera
And then maybe include bary and austro in the mix of beipi
Austro hunting fish>a beipi flock make it run> bary comes in at the end
I mean we’ll definitely get feature Dino’s, for example, dibble video had dibble, shadow Dino, troodon, omnis and dilos
Oh and compys but yeh
Each dino showcases a new aquatic mechanic. Would be a very nice mix
I want another serious mention of tartarus
I feel like teno should be used more often, just cause it’s seen as the regular herbi in the isle now
I think we all know what I want in future lore videos
What movie is this from?
Something on the botany sector specifically would be 
Boltz? Or blitz?
what
Meet the Robinsons
I forget which
^
Hypsi breaks into the botany sector. Relocation back to tartarus
Oh yeh nvm
A way to show off its climbing mechanic perhapss
Yes my bad, I was thinking of this
lol
It only wanted the premium mangoes!
Traitorous scum


done the oranges
not sure which is better though
left
the glitched one?
yes
ok thank you
Thanks for the oranges
orange!
same
Hello there
||WHERE IS LEGO FILIPE!!?!?||
gone
No clue
What is that
im asking the same question
ohhh
Cause there’s a faint red glow
u can see it better on the left
Do we have a way to tell how big those things are?
prolly not
Like comparing them to the squares or smth
maybe watchtowers or dock pillars ?
The light is certainly not coming from them. Its from above
Atleast it looks like it
mmmmmm
If not, my second option would be that its a metal door
They look like metal doors now
Okay now I have no idea
the squares are used in game development to easily tell sizes of game objects, so yeah, if we compared it to other dev stuff we could get a size
Ah
Skybox backgrounds…….?
If not, they could be multiple stages of Bullards
At work rn but here hope this helps
rex is like 4-6 of those squares high eyeballing it
those squares have measurements in their corners
Yeh that’s why I was hoping they’d help but they are different as you said
yeah it looks more like the squares you see when the game textures glitch out
Iirc, those squares are quite small correct?
here we go, found a screenshot
wouldn't be surprised if those are cubic meter squares
no they are small
yeah, they might be trash cans 
Oh wait I didn’t look at that pachy image too well, they seemed bigger for a second
Did D10 always have a bridge?
D10? i dont even remember that being there
It’s that base not far from water access
dont think ive ever been there
Really?
OH WAIT
I think it's the most overgrown by vegetation
no
It’s in a jungle and and it’s kind of on a cliff but not really
that's H5
is it the one thats north of northeast
Best way I can describe it, it’s the base that’s just west of water access
huh i dont hink ive been there
If you follow the road,it leads you to it
not much to it really, just an overgrown base in the jungle. Kinda neat layout though
Ik what you’re doing next time you’re hopping on the isle
I like it for screenshots
im already on the isle!
yeah it's good looking, just out on the edge of the map
It’s got a helipad btw jolly
but next time i wander that way ill be taking screenshots there if i can
If that helps jog your memory
I’m very surprised you haven’t seen it yet, especially since you got admin on a server 
very pretty, but no players
I found it when gateway dropped, just cause exploring the map for the first time was the best experience I’ve had in years on the isle
I was finding goats and boars there on HT, fwiw
So I found everything or mostly everything in the first week or so
eh? I was just going off Isaac's map
H6 is the broken islands
Hold on
that seems new
I vaguely remember it, and someone else said they remembered it, I think I was just mistaken
I remember it all the way back in December so it’s been there for quite a while , I just can’t remember if it was in gateway release
Plus no one ever comes from the west side into that base, 99% of people come from water access
yes
Yes
oof, alrady answered, seemed like it was the most recent message
yes
Yes
you forgot to reply to my post
Hmmm
Monorail my beloved
to be fair
i woke up and opened my phone to that message. Lol, I didn't realise
I think that happened to everyone 
honestly
they could be the vat models more finalised now?
The floor is the just a typical untextured grid
and they look box-like
Ohh possible, I think its a trashbin. The light doesnt look like its coming from the objects.
possibly
does look like a trashbin to me
where was it dropped discussion?
ye
Oooo, I like it red. Not sure about what others think.
I think its better to keep it as original to the video as possible.
aye, I like it red as well.
This is basically version we have of that (in terms of the screenshot)
I think that’s the negative coloration of what it originally was
i think it is, but I like red
Hmmm, what do you mean?
You make an excellent argument sir
It’s originally blue, but the glitchiness made it superimpose as the opposite color
Oh, I thought it was originally red.
NOOOOO
That’s my assumption, not a confirmed thing, just because of how the coloration is inconsistent with everything else
I’m slowly warming up to that date
Hmm, what I thought at first was that the reason its in red was because it was an urgent message?
Wait no, idk if that makes sense..
It doesn’t exactly scream urgency
Basically it was edited into the found footage to add more "context?"
Idk what im talking about lol, nvm
I very much doubt that, just think it’s glitchiness

with or without the border?
I dont see the difference
the border of the globe
oUTLINE
Ohhh with
with or without, what looks better?
With the outline
I disagree
https://gyazo.com/f9125751a625bcb324d191ff1b13df4a
however the original has no outline
without
2 to 1
i feel like it's cleaner without
but it feels more proper with
Yes, with!
Without the outside line it gives a hologram feeling
sorry
original does not have an outline
Oh
ha
sorry, I'm tired still lol
Without then, I like it towards the original side.
I'm making the "Red version"
and I'm also going to create a 2nd "Blue tab" version to fit the slideshow format
And then create a big book telling the entire story/lore of the Isle detail by detail, word by word, with everything that happened since the beginning, showing us all the truth that we still don't know, So we can be happy again...
i still need to do my Dibble video lol
jesus are you even close to finishing the script?
Atleast 50% done? Maybe
ho ho no
Lightclaw puts in a bunch of effort
here would be the media player version


without or have a different outline
