[fast forge]

mutations

[robust ether]

Maia maia maia

Actually more human stuff would probably be best for lore.. right?

[lethal moat]

More of anything is always nice

[fast forge]

I want to drink salt water

I want to be encouraged to cannibalize

I want mutations

I want more ways to play

It was even GW_F5 in the April Fool's roadmap video

this is good to see now.
Don talked about, ages ago, that they were going to remove the words on the lockers because they were just goof/placeholder stuff

didn't realise it'd be a recreation lol

[lethal moat]

Looks like a decent locker, main area for higher calibers, and smaller spaces for lower calibers and ammo storage

[acoustic osprey]

lockers!!

[lethal moat]

I’d like to see the cards play into some sort of quest/reward system for gen 2 completing objectives

[acoustic osprey]

didn't Don comment something about that a month or two ago

[lethal moat]

Not to my knowledge

[lethal moat]

Would love to go fix up the buoys and have an early warning system for inclement weather

[knotty locust]

"yeah can you go fill this gerry up at the gas station"

"sure man"

[acoustic osprey]

maybe because they are!!!!

[gleaming gate]

oh damn it wasn't the discussion 💀

[acoustic osprey]

thanks

[acoustic osprey]

not lore

i think

[valid geyser]

Lore?!

[acoustic osprey]

no

[hexed forge]

Oh

[valid geyser]

[acoustic osprey]

Many of Apollo’s machines run on fuel. These gas pumps can be found in all refueling areas. Make sure that you have your keycard or the system won’t work.

oh I competely missed this

[fast forge]

Possibly hint at a game mechanic? It would suck to run out of gas in the middle of the jungle...

Any ideas for a purpose for the buoys?
I personally see them as an aquatic extension to the radio tracking system for the bio-loggers/biotrace/chiptracking/whatever

[acoustic osprey]

i don't mean for it to be a hint
more so quite literal

[acoustic osprey]

solar powered but most definitely not transmitting anything
But seeing as Vis said this

I presume it will be connected to transmissions of sorts, lol

[strange rapids]

C patterns are new generation AE creations designed to become herd leaders and try to make existing assets more docile

[lethal moat]

Interesting theory

[strange rapids]

Just wanted to stir things up 🫡

[lethal moat]

It would fit this, but galli’s pattern c doesn’t have feathers https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1003091745984233563/1091511534024405042/SPOILER_UNHELPFUL_DOCUMENTATION_3_THE_UNHELPENING.png?ex=66337f95&is=66322e15&hm=545186f86aa7ff0d0c088880781a9f797849c9d8a84773d03169d315394a3976&

[strange rapids]

I wasn’t aware there was already answers 😭 I’m new to this you guys just weren’t lore-ing hard enough for me to passively read throughout the day

[lethal moat]

You’re good, I’m just always looking for evidence that confirms or contradicts theories

[lethal moat]

I’m betting weather warning system

Also, since we actually have gas on the island, we can make the america jokes 🦅🦅

[lethal moat]

I would also recommend browsing https://discord.com/channels/401464048610312193/1003091745984233563

[fast forge]

tbh it could be radio relays and also weather systems, I bet they could pack a fair bit of tech on one of those buoys

[lethal moat]

Machine gun sentry buoy to protect from foreign entities

[fast forge]

I was just saying weather equipment can be rather small, idk if they could really fit all that in a buoy

[lethal moat]

You’re right, just being silly

I am curious about exactly how the cards work now

[knotty locust]

oh dear god, going out to sea on a boat to manually repair the buoys

[lethal moat]

Also, I believe on stream, Dondi mentioned bigger things being able to go deeper down, so the eariler you see something coming from the bottom, the bigger that something will be

[lethal moat]

Keep in mind this image is unofficial and not necessarily representative of the creature in game

[strange rapids]

Is this the famed matriarch

[lethal moat]

It is

[strange rapids]

It will be interesting to see a diverse marine life as well, but likely to much for one island to handle.

Secret ocean map time

[lethal moat]

Finished oceans and ocean caves

[strange rapids]

I’ve seen these here before, iirc it just continuously grows right?

[lethal moat]

Grows and evolves, at least in Tapwing’s version of the story

Imagine the docks come with ocean biomes, that would be sick

[strange rapids]

Would be cool to see what ae could come up with for playables and diverse play styles

[strange rapids]

I’d be that one Herrera ambushing curious critters wanting to investigate

[lethal moat]

Playing god can have interesting consequences

I’m going to choose omni for no reason in particular

[tulip estuary]

@knotty jolt f u

[knotty jolt]

Nice.

@tulip estuary

Anyway drone quetz what we thinkin

[lethal moat]

Experimentation with cybernetics is my guess

[strange rapids]

I played Omni mostly have been waiting for dilo hype to die down before I try it out. But Herrera is stupid fun

[lethal moat]

Yeah

That camera and chest mount are neat, wonder where you put in the fuel

[fast forge]

My headcanon with Omnis is that in-lore jurassic park is an actual movie franchise, and when they created this device that can just "AI-generate" animals (the replicator) they just threw in this concept based on the popular perception of raptors

[lethal moat]

I like it

“Make me a raptor”
Replicator: Yes

[fast forge]

Perhaps this is why we have feathered and non-feathered versions of animals (as evidenced in the galli document) - AE tweaked their designs as dinosaur knowledge grew

[lethal moat]

Perhaps

[valid geyser]

Did I hear mention of quetz?

[fast forge]

The past tense here does run counter to that theory, suggesting the feathered gallis came first

Why would PPE be required for entering the galli habitat?

[patent ginkgo]

To not get injured as much

[fast forge]

A safety vest is going to stop a galli kick?

or like, a hardhat

[valid geyser]

OSHA…

[patent ginkgo]

I mean, better than nothing

[valid geyser]

There’s probably still standards of work that apply even if the entire thing is secret

[patent ginkgo]

Mhm

[valid geyser]

Like “oh if they could get hurt via blank then they must have blank”

[lethal moat]

Stab proof vest would be nice

[fast forge]

I did find myself wondering if AE has like, an HR department

[lethal moat]

Maybe not first, maybe at the same time

[strange rapids]

Don’t forget your medieval chainmail before going to hand feed the Gallis

[lethal moat]

That would work

Chain mail is used as shark protection

[fast forge]

tbh because of the work that I do at my job, my idea of PPE is protecting against pathogens (smock, face mask, hair net, rubber gloves), forgetting that PPE can also encompass safety gear at construction sites and stuff. So my first reaction was "why are these gallis infectious?"

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[fast forge]

But heavy safety gear makes sense

[lethal moat]

Depending on what gear we get, theres so many different themes you could make with gen 2

Knight, cowboy, scientist, PMC

[fallow harbor]

what ppe

[lethal moat]

Just says PPE, Personal Protection Equipment

[fast forge]

yeah it doesn't have specifics, might just mean sturdy boots, reflective vest, and hardhat

[fallow harbor]

what's ppe *

[lethal moat]

Personal Protection Equipment

[fallow harbor]

got that from ur first message, ty

[lethal moat]

Honestly, brigt colors might not be the move, don't want to attract attention, probably better for various ceramic plates and camouflage

[fast forge]

depends on the animals kept within, dinosaurs can probably see color (most animals can, animals are the exception, and primates are the exception to that exception), so idk

PPE could also include respirators (if galli herds kick up a lot of dust) or earplugs (gallis are specifically described as loud in this article)

[hexed forge]

[lethal moat]

There's a lot of things it could be

My bet is something to reduce internal damage from getting kicked

[fast forge]

perhaps, I wonder if ostrich/emu/rhea/cassowary handlers wear PPE

[valid geyser]

Animals are the exception

[lethal moat]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cgFSCxJlzwo?feature=share

[fast forge]

I've seen this guy before, always funny

[hexed forge]

Tranq guns count as PPE right?

[lethal moat]

Ehhhhhhh

Tranq doesn't act fast enough, firearm probably counts, but not tranq

[fast forge]

no

[hexed forge]

Taser? A big one 🤔

[lethal moat]

That probably works

Cattle prod

[spiral elbow]

Most animals in zoos require some degree of PPE for the keepers as part of their husbandry. Gloves, face masks and sleeves are common when doing any sort of cleaning or when working with animals that are immunocompromised or have a possibility of transmitting zoonotic disease (or catching human diseases; see mustelids and primates for example).

However, in that galli glance sheet the sentence about PPE follows after the line about gallis being able to disembowl someone with a single kick, so I would imagine PPE in that context to involve something like a thick bite suit, waders or a board. I’ve worked with animals that require a board when entering their exhibit or trying to catch them up for a medical exam, so it serves as a shield to protect the keeper from the animal if it becomes aggressive. I can imagine keepers always needing boards if trying to catch up most dinosaurs their size or smaller.

things like cassowaries would likely require a board, for example

[lethal moat]

So... there's a chance I might be able to wield a riot shield in game?

[spiral elbow]

🤷‍♀️

[lethal moat]

Sledgehammer + riot shield for breaking into bases

[fast forge]

yep

[lethal moat]

I'm looking at PPE for tigers and I totally forgot about Toxoplasma lol, wonder if anything similar to that exists for the dinos

[fast forge]

as ceta mentioned zoonotic diseases can be an issue, and often the risk becomes higher if the animal is more closely related to humans. But being artificial animals, we have NO idea how communicable these diseases could be. If dinosaurs and Gen 2 are made with similar genomes, it's possible that cross-contamination is a much higher threat

[valid geyser]

Could dinosaurs carry avian influenza..

[lethal moat]

Gen 1 create a dormant strain of common cold that only affects normal humans and is incredibly lethal as well as immune to treatment

[fast forge]

is this speculation on your part, or something that was said by a dev?

[lethal moat]

This is me being goofy

[fast forge]

Guys good use of my time or no..

[lethal moat]

Looks nice

[hexed forge]

Its based on the new PP trailer for the QoL update

[lethal moat]

Coolio

[hexed forge]

I am going to assume that the west access area will probably have the crab stuff, seems perfect

[lethal moat]

Especially after it gets the coastal changes that were discussed

[hexed forge]

yippee

[hexed forge]

Ngl if we ever get a lore video like this, it will certainly be interesting..... It would be cool if the Herd actually slowly dies off due to predators as they migrate

[lethal moat]

Documentary style

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/reasonsimbroke-larry-david-hbo-hbo-max-meh-gif-24169087

Not sure if Documentary is the right word.

[fast forge]

this is what happens to the released diablos in the maps shown in the dibble video

well, we only know one is a predator technically

[hexed forge]

Yes but like, actual footage that is documented like I did. And telling where the herd went

[hexed forge]

.

[fast forge]

https://tenor.com/view/gimme-gif-5731137

I want coastal update!!!!

[fast forge]

seems fun! it's up to you if it's worth your time, art can exist just for the pleasure of making it (like a mandala, for example)

[hexed forge]

I want to expand it into videos, but i suck at editing

[lethal moat]

Same

[hexed forge]

Lorecord needs to make a channel

Work as a team

[lethal moat]

Eh, I kind of prefer it decentralized, the only channel thing is the podcast

[normal olive]

Wait, we have an E18 human base in game?

[hexed forge]

Yes

[fast forge]

it's just a watchtower and some shipping crates

[hexed forge]

^

Yk what, that area would be perfect for a helipad base. A base where "big" helicopters land with supplies.

[fast forge]

tbh I wish we could get the wikipedia working. when I first wanted to learn about lore it's the first place I checked, but it's entirely outdated with only random legacy stuff

[hexed forge]

Isaac has an Isle wikipedia that was being worked on but then suddenly stopped.

[fast forge]

yes, there is a big flat square of open dirt near there in which I always pictured a base

[hexed forge]

https://survive-the-isle.fandom.com/wiki/Survive_The_Isle_Wiki

The development sadly stopped, idk why

[lethal moat]

I feel like the best place for that would be the docks, just have everything localized and transported from one location to increase efficiency

[hexed forge]

But what about locations that are far away from the docks or is full of cliffs.

[fast forge]

if you had to pick a spot, where would you put the docks?

[hexed forge]

For example West access and NW ridge

[hexed forge]

You arent asking me but, Southeast island

[fast forge]

I'd put it along the south coast, facing that island. The small island would help break large waves from the ocean, making for a safer port

[strange rapids]

I agree, only a fool wouldn’t have a good storm block (mental blanking the real word)

[hexed forge]

My idea was that the bay between the island and gateway is actually a containment area for something

[lethal moat]

GUTS and monorails

[lethal moat]

South Eastern Islands

[lethal moat]

I’m thinking it has some use as well

[hexed forge]

I mean, aquatic fences were planned right? And also the islands surrounding the bay are shallow inbetween them. So its not like there is an entire ocean, fences surely might be possible.

[lethal moat]

You can have those, but having it on the island means you can more easily limit what dinosaurs make it there

[lethal moat]

The southern islands leading to the main one get pretty deep

[hexed forge]

The top islands are pretty shallow, the bottom ones however are a bit deep.

Specifically these

Unless, what if AE doesnt need fences to contain something? Some sort of... sound frequences keeping something away beyond a certain point.

[lethal moat]

Could allow passage to the dock, with the docks opening from the outer island to the interior, but in that situation, how would the monorail system work with large ships passing through

[hexed forge]

Maybe these things emit it

[lethal moat]

Maybe

I still think they’re for weather though

[hexed forge]

Perhaps the monorail will only go around the right side? The shallow side.

[lethal moat]

I think a whole loop makes sense, only needs to go one direction and it can hit all of it’s stops

[hexed forge]

Is that oil 🦅

[lethal moat]

DID I HEAR THERE WAS SOME OOOOILLLLL??

[acoustic osprey]

typically in Aus, for animal handling, it would be this (changing on whatever the issue is, of course):

hearing protective devices, such as ear muffs and ear plugs
respiratory protective equipment
eye and face protection, such as safety glasses and face shields
safety helmets
fall arrest harnesses for working at heights
skin protection, such as gloves, gauntlets and sunscreen
clothing, such as high visibility vests, life jackets and coveralls
footwear, such as safety boots and rubber boots.

I forgot to mention this before, but the language could be a bit more science-speak

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/idiot-elmo-im-stupid-shrug-im-an-idiot-gif-16140879

[fast forge]

I think if you wanted to lapse into more casual speech, just name the author as a doctor or something, it fits better

[acoustic osprey]

it's mostly direction
so you need sea men talk!!

[fast forge]

ooh good point

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/sea-pirate-gif-21441677

[acoustic osprey]

to the direction of Apollo's Sun, eastbound!!

[hexed forge]

mm

[fast forge]

Also try to use specific measurements instead of general statements. For example on line 6 you use the term "awhile" - maybe replace it with something needlessly specific, like "2.6 minutes" - really gives that science vibe

[acoustic osprey]

use the classic Apollo "APPROX."

[hexed forge]

Alright

I will rephrase it when I am back in my house, hopefully it gets better.

[fast forge]

If you want, I could edit this for you to science-it-up (make my near-degree in zoology worth something)

While still keeping your story

[hexed forge]

I want to try it myself first, its a better way to learn I think.

[fast forge]

fair enough

the offer stands, if you have a version you'd like a review or edit for

PPE for allo is knight plate armor

“Refueling area” just sounds like gas or petrol station, now I’m not saying this is what I think will happen, but a giant neon glowing sign would be appreciated

[hexed forge]

[fast forge]

nah we are all brutalist architecture in this place, it'll just be a concrete wall with stenciled letters that say "Fuel"

It would be funny to have something that's really bright and out of place with the rest of the scenery

[lethal moat]

I feel it’ll be like how some businesses have their own fueling areas, with a open mechanics area with a fuel depot at the far end under an open walled structure

[fast forge]

yeah like a private or military fueling station

[ornate comet]

Interesting

The Dino not in game that it’s based on could be velo?

Also idk why my phone capitalizes Dino

[lethal moat]

Could be

[lethal moat]

I turned off autocorrect because it’s to annoying trying to type in dino names and having it autocorrect to lamp or whatever

[ornate comet]

Lamp

[lethal moat]

[weak sluice]

It’s that moth gf

[lethal moat]

Gf?

[weak sluice]

You don’t know about the moth girlfriend meme

[lethal moat]

Do I want to know?

[weak sluice]

It’s not weird or anything

It’s just that moth with more feminine features.

[lethal moat]

I know this meme because give me the lamp

[weak sluice]

Oh….

That probably says a lot about me then

Unrelated to anything really, but every time something happens to me in the isle now or I cross something strange I always mentally say “is there a lore reason why xyz” on reaction mostly because of this comment i saw one day

[lethal moat]

[acoustic osprey]

(10:00)assets

[hexed forge]

Alr

[tiny notch]

also another nitpick, but Longiceps --> longiceps

[hexed forge]

Alr

Will fix it in about 9 hours

[acoustic osprey]

#isle-lore-theories message
and!!

[fast forge]

minor nitpick, but in scientific nomenclature the genus name is capitalized, but not the species name
Homo sapiens
not
Homo Sapiens

so it would be "Pteranodon longiceps"

also scientific names should be italicized if possible

It could also be a bit more science-y sounding. For example in that first section:

"(8:00) Flock of 5 individuals departed from sector MN18-19
Area, thought to be a Pteranodon breeding ground. Breeding status could not be confirmed due to asset hostility."

Short, sweet sentences that get directly to the point. You can also likely use the phrase "pteranodon individuals" or just "individuals" to prevent overuse of the term "asset". Scientific language doesn't often start sentences with "the" or "they", preferring to just jump directly to the subject

(also, don't feel bad about any of this - learning scientific dialogue is hard! It is only easier for me because I've had lots and lots of practice, and I've been reading science material since I was 10)

All my suggestions are little things anyway

"Refer to the chemical leak incident for more information." feels too vague.
A facility this size has probably had many small chemical spills because that just happens sometimes in a lab (oops I dropped some HCl, everyone clear out the building). I'd call it "Chemical Spill Report #1A-2N" or some other random numbers/letters. You could even sneak in more lore and call it "Hyperendocrine Spill Report" or "Hyperendocrine Toxicology Report" with the alphanumeric designation

[patent ginkgo]

I always enjoy reading what you say about proper scientific stuff

Honestly makes me want to make my own lore stuff

[lethal moat]

I should make one of those species sheets

[pale marsh]

God
Pls teach me the ways of scientific jargon

[ionic sable]

I seriously need some help with science jargon, I spend like half my time writing just trying to make it sound scientific, only to fact check it later and it's just a mess.

[lethal moat]

When in doubt, just write down the base points and fill in the middles

[fast forge]

A lot of it is just using as few words as possible to convey as much information as possible

[ionic sable]

Yeah, but often I use words that seem like a shortened version of what I am trying to portray, only to learn it either oversimplifies, or leads to the wrong actual meaning.

[fast forge]

some of it is word choice just to sound pedantic

[lethal moat]

I use jargon to make me sound more photosynthesis

[acoustic osprey]

Hyperendocrin* !!

[acoustic osprey]

Man I gotta immunologically recessitate the white blood cells, FA! (Fibroadenoma)

[lethal moat]

What if neuro just like, lacks immunosuppressants and every time they get injured, that part of their body just rots away

[acoustic osprey]

And you can thank the Greeks for that!

It's far more easier for a doctor to learn Greek than a normal fella

[lethal moat]

I guess this could apply to several things, no need to limit it to neuro

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/mark-cuban-shark-tank-notes-taking-notes-remember-gif-15073512

I have so much to adjust when I get home, wonder when I will get to the final copy

[hexed forge]

@acoustic osprey I feel like it would go better if I just said "AUGUSTUS replications" instead of R-Augustus

[pale marsh]

"specimen AUGUSTUS" and "-x"
X being numerical designations

[hexed forge]

Ohh

Nah no need to do that

[pale marsh]

Lame
I like that shi

[hexed forge]

The report isn't about just a singular special asset

[lethal moat]

So how many generations of replication are these dudes out from Augustus?

[fast forge]

Personally I'd stay away from the term "specimen" in this context, it is typically reserved for objects in a controlled environment. Animals in the wild are called "individuals" or "subjects"

[hexed forge]

Would Augustus be the first generation?

[fast forge]

yes, P1 or P

[hexed forge]

Mmm

[fast forge]

but that's also strictly within the context of breeding, pedigrees, and genetics. outside of that I'd just call them "Augustus replications"

[hexed forge]

Yippee

[lethal moat]

Could use F to designate generations like in the dibble video

[pale marsh]

These also aren't in the wild

I would've went with asset but idk I like the sound of specimen

Instance also wouldnt be a bad idea since these are presumably the same minds going thru several bodies

[lethal moat]

Would you call Gateway a wild environment? It’s been altered specifically to suit the needs of it’s inhabitants, which are also not wild, but rather created in a lab, I’d call that a controlled environment rather than wilderness

[pale marsh]

Wild is wild
This is
Domesticated at best

[hexed forge]

I will use both terms, asset and specimens.

[pale marsh]

We're still not even sure if the island itself was a tropical island or much less an ecosystem prior to AE

If anything tries to say the boar, deer, etc AI are the island native inhabitants I'm going to slap you

[lethal moat]

Exactly how much did AE change after acquiring the island

I’d love to see a barren wasteland for one of the islands

[pale marsh]

I personally lean to gateway having been fully terraformed

[hexed forge]

I doubt

[pale marsh]

It'd make sense for atleast some of the islands they have to be am expirement or trial for the botany side of things

Take young barren island, seed with ur modified plants and hope they succeed

[lethal moat]

Certain aspects altered and most if not the entire ecosystem placed there (plants animals whatnot) and Gateway was a volcanic island to begin with

[lethal moat]

Maybe not completely barren, but not what it is now that we see it, then again, also depends what area of the world gateway is in

[pale marsh]

I'm leaning towards to the island not having a real world location

[fast forge]

I still think specimen feels out of place here. To me it implies tightly controlled variables, something not in effect for animals free to move about an island

[lofty swallow]

I'd think things such as Augustus are specimens because they directly cause an anomaly in the rest of the island, e.g. AE remaking all the herreras to form around this one.

Maybe not all the dinosaurs on the island but a few of them that AE cherrypicked in my opinion would be considered a specimen

[fast forge]

The AI animals match up pretty well with common introduced species on tropical islands. During the "age of exploration" it was common for europeans to introduce "game" animals to islands to start a stable population, that they then could use when they regularly return to the island for food

[fast forge]

I work in a biotech lab, with lab mice, and we don't even refer to them as specimens

[lofty swallow]

Guess it just depends on what name you think is appropriate for whatever it is, or whatever you refer to as a blank, to me I refer a dinosaur fossil as a specimen, but to others it might be something else.

[fast forge]

here they call Augustus "the subject" and "the animal"

[pale marsh]

This is assuming anybody was on the island prior to AE
It could very well be a quite young island

[fast forge]

here they call it "an unknown subject"

here they call it "a herrerasaurus" and "subsequent replications"

Not seeing "specimen" anywhere

[lofty swallow]

Yeah I was just using that as an example, they use multiple different names to refer to it whether that be a subject, a replication, etc

[fast forge]

Even looking through the documents for cerato, galli, and beipi they don't call them specimens (although these are written in a less formal tone than the incident report)

[fast forge]

As a biologist I really don't think "specimens" is your best term here, especially considering AE has never used the term in any documentation that I could find. That being said, it's your fiction, do what you will

With regards to capturing the correct tone of speech, I highly recommend looking at the wording in the Augustus video

[hexed forge]

I see

[fast forge]

In retrospect the fact sheets for galli, cerato, & beipi might be a better inspiration for the tone than augustus because they are closer in nature to the document you are creating. To me, they maintain a scientific tone while also being a bit more personal and human, while augustus feels much more by-the-book clinical-sounding

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair
the fact sheets don't refer to anything

as they generally describe the animals nature from a glance

not referring to any particular dinosaur specimen/subject

[lethal moat]

The sheets are nice

[acoustic osprey]

also
just refer to them with one description
no need to go from "The Flock" to "The Assets"
especially you don't need to start with such each time. Only really needing to opening with such

[hexed forge]

Noted

[hexed forge]

Would this be better? (Quite literally just removed the words)

It sounds more of an update log now which I kind of like.

My edit:

(8:00) Flock of 5 Pteranodon departed from sector MN18-19, an area thought to be a Pteranodon breeding ground. Breeding status unknown due to asset hostility.
(8:30) Indidviduals headed westward toward the highlands. This area at the time was inhabited by Tenontosaurs, population unknown.
(10:00) Settled at highlands to rest. Stayed there for ~6 hours.
(16:00) Departed highlands, heading south toward swamp coastal area.
(17:30) Arrived at coastal swamp, rested there for 2 days. The assets avoided the Diabloceratops injection site due to the _____________ asset in containment at the site.
(13:00) Departed towards the north direction. Assets rested on the perimeter at around 13:10. The short rest was disturbed by a _____________ specimen.
(13:30) Flock departed westward.
Note: There have been sightings of AUGUSTUS replications hunting the Pteranodon assets. They did not succeed due to the _____________ Specimen.
(14:00-16:00) 30 minute transit to the beach. This is environment is unusual for this species and will be monitored. Assets left after 2 hours due to dangerous conditions.
(17:30) Arrived at Highlands to rest for the night.
(Refer to the chemical leak incident for more information.)
(6:15) Flock departed in the northeastern direction.
(8:15) Remained in northeast the entire day and night.
(12:00) Departed back to highlands. We speculate that they are breeding, but lack sufficient data to confirm. Will continue to monitor.

I noticed you frequently referred to times without giving those times a timestamp, so I added those. I changed language a bit here and there to sound as clinical as possible.

[acoustic osprey]

We should get the channel to be renamed when 1.0 releases

[fast forge]

#isle-lore-facts

[acoustic osprey]

Wah oh

I was more so thinking Lightclaws Isle Lore Discussion
But sure

[lethal moat]

Separation of body and mental information, biotrace being a body that can be traced back to the replicator, EIP being the force driving the body

So theorizes Rumple

[acoustic osprey]

That would mean that all workers are profiles as well?

[fast forge]

I always had that vibe

[lethal moat]

Might depend on the worker

Or if natural workers get phased out in exchange for gen 2

[acoustic osprey]

It seems like having a biotrace is quite mandatory

[lethal moat]

In that case, it might be a requirement

Part of the contract

[fast forge]

I wonder if the bodies are made around a tracking device and bio-logger, and the whole package (bio-data and all) is considered the biotrace

[lethal moat]

Property of AE

[acoustic osprey]

Yes you are

[lethal moat]

[fast forge]

I dunno, in retrospect "biotrace" feels like... evidence of an animal. This pushes me toward the idea that the biotrace is just the data being transmitted back to AE. So by this definition the biotrace would be asset location, weight, age, heartbeat, etc.

Perhaps there is simply another term for the corporeal body associated with a biotrace

[lethal moat]

Maybe

Problem is we don't know if biotrace is connected to tracking chips or if it's something different

[fast forge]

I decided they were related once I learned about those real-life "bio-loggers" that transmit physiological data in conjunction with location

[lethal moat]

I'm 50/50 on it

[fast forge]

#isle-discussion is kind of exploding right now

sometimes I gotta step over here to slow down...

[lethal moat]

It's safe here

Lorecord is 50/50, depends on the channel

do you know of the whereabouts of timothy was first described? like the name to the being? like in a shared image or somethin? im gonna ask on the lore server a bit later, but might as well ask here incase any of you know

Your theory about the replicator, could the select asset screen (when your choosing your dinosaur) could that screen be the replicator?

[strange rapids]

You’re just absorbing everyone this week

[lethal moat]

Something like that

[lethal moat]

We try

[hexed forge]

I don't think it's worth it kidnapping random people into lorecord anymore tbh

Most are not active at all and just leave a month later

@lethal moat you need to do a # lore findings channel and add @ for people who are interested

Engaging with the community

[lethal moat]

It's mainly so that we can see anything that comes up, a majority of the people in this server aren't active either

[hexed forge]

They however engage when news come. For example phase three or devblogs. They engage during those times.

Not all but a big number

[lethal moat]

That's fine

[hexed forge]

So doing the same thing in lorecord would cause more talks about lore and more activity than the usual 5

[lethal moat]

We already have channels for that, they just aren't used

[hexed forge]

Add @ ... for new lore findings..

People can decide whether they want to get that role or not by using the bot

It's really not that complicated rumple

[lethal moat]

I have a 1000 word essay to write in 2 hours and work after that

[terse hawk]

But the real dinosaurs were 66 million years ago

[lethal moat]

These aren't real dinosaurs

[patent ginkgo]

A better word would be “replications”

They are dinosaurs in the same way that a really good ai produced image of a human is an actual photo of an actual human

Made to look the same, but has a completely different origin

[lethal moat]

That's a good description, I'm going to steal that

[terse hawk]

Same thing

[patent ginkgo]

no

[terse hawk]

Yeah there clones

[lethal moat]

My sweet summer child

[terse hawk]

Wat

[lethal moat]

There are genetic creations to look like dinosaurs, but don't involve any actual dinosaur DNA

[terse hawk]

How do you know

[patent ginkgo]

It’s superficially similar to convergent evolution

[lethal moat]

The replicator is the machine that makes the dinosaurs

[terse hawk]

Opinion

[lethal moat]

Would you call this a human?

[terse hawk]

Yeah that's me at 3 am when someone takes my snacks

[patent ginkgo]

So it’s inhuman

[lethal moat]

Thats a mood, I'm a big fan of 3 am cheez its

[terse hawk]

Yeah but the old dinosaurs look the same to the new ones tbh

[patent ginkgo]

Yes exactly

[lethal moat]

Omniraptor and Troodon both don't exist

[terse hawk]

Ugh

[lethal moat]

"They are dinosaurs in the same way that a really good ai produced image of a human is an actual photo of an actual human."
I still think this is the best description I've seen to date

Thankee

[terse hawk]

When will humans get guns

[pale marsh]

Flesh automata

[patent ginkgo]

It’s the metaphor I’ve been using for a while

[lethal moat]

Later

[pale marsh]

Manufactured life

[lethal moat]

Designer babies

[patent ginkgo]

We don’t get ETAs but I’m hoping for mostly fleshed out guns this year, as they already technically had them last update

[pale marsh]

Litcherally

[lethal moat]

Licherally undying rn

[lofty swallow]

I'm not sure how I feel about there being more than one sniper in those screenshots

[pale marsh]

Licherally an apostate facsimile of nature

[terse hawk]

Gonna be call of duty lol

[lethal moat]

Closer to DayZ

[lethal moat]

Same rifle, different pose

[pale marsh]

Do we know if gen2 will get night vision goggles?

[lethal moat]

Yes

[pale marsh]

Hmmm

[lofty swallow]

oh I'm dumb

[young viper]

and this

[lethal moat]

Good ole collussus

[lofty swallow]

that's not comfirmed still right? It *did *say it was like 7 years ago

[lethal moat]

Collossus is confirmed, but it might not look like that

[young viper]

i wish

[lofty swallow]

sheesh, and it's shown taking down what, a sauropod?

dang is this like gen 0.5?

[lethal moat]

That's a strain humanoid

[young viper]

my favorite ''things'' on the isle are Colossus and Minmi

[lofty swallow]

huh, and it's shown fighting a hypo rex, that

is insane

[lethal moat]

Strain humanoids are confirmed

[young viper]

more like a gorila+croc

[lethal moat]

Potato tomato

[young viper]

[lofty swallow]

un ripe pineapple

[young viper]

if this thing can actually take down a hyper, i would dare to say that colossus is the strongest creature in the isle

[lethal moat]

It'll probably be changing

And matriarch on top

[young viper]

matri what?

no i meant about living creatures

[pale marsh]

Matriarch is alive

[young viper]

what it is

a kind of hyper?

[pale marsh]

We don't really know

Rumple is obsessed with it so I'll let him explain

[lethal moat]

Here's unofficial stuff from tapwing

It's related to Tissoplastic research and that's about all we know for Evrima

But the art is neat

[pale marsh]

As I understand
It's a rapidly evolving organism

J like to headcanon it as a colonial organism

[lethal moat]

Probably

[pale marsh]

Colonial organism being like a bunch of smaller creatures that act as one
Like
Man o war or siphonophores

Or uh
Destroyah from the old Godzilla movies

[young viper]

like those bat things in godzilla in hell?

[pale marsh]

Not the best example but I guess

Sticking to Godzilla things

Destroyah is the best example
A large amount of very tiny creatures that act as one and grow and "evolve" as time progresses

[fallow harbor]

wait so the matraicth would start out as the top left and grow into the bottom right ?

[lethal moat]

In the unofficial story, yes

[pale marsh]

I'm concept yes
Those specific forms are not canon tho

[hallow holly]

where do u find their art??

[lethal moat]

Deviantart

[hallow holly]

alri thanks bc i really love their art

awesome styling

[lethal moat]

Highly recommend it, there’s good stuff there, but it’s all unofficial

[hallow holly]

thats fine with me still cool

[lofty swallow]

..shin godzilla..?

[pale marsh]

Not colonial organism

He's just a really messed up fish

[icy onyx]

my first thought

“QUETZAL DOESNT HAVE TEETH

oh wait it’s the evolving creature”

[hybrid wagon]

thats not human anymore

[lethal moat]

Lol

[hexed forge]

@acoustic osprey

Storage building

[lethal moat]

Is that 83 or63

[hexed forge]

Location

[hexed forge]

83

[lethal moat]

Thanks

[hexed forge]

The storage building contains just a bunch of boxes, cans, etc. Basic stuff seen in all bases

[lethal moat]

083 implies the existence of 001-082

Gen 2 going to have a lot of options

[fast forge]

yeah, gen 2 gear was my thought

[hexed forge]

@lethal moat Oh wait this building can be found in other bases too, the patch just added the numbers on them.. So I assume the numbers are placeholders..

[lethal moat]

More buildings plz

[hexed forge]

OH BOY

[lethal moat]

Another security terminal, lets go

[hexed forge]

Trying to get a better close up but spectator mode is not allowing me to

Good?

Plants vending machines, water.. Seems like a decent workplace

OH BOY

[lethal moat]

Maybe it was a decent workplace

[pale marsh]

I love wandering around human structures man, I need more of them

[hexed forge]

Here is a better angle

[patent ginkgo]

That text could potentially tell us something about what time period it’s from

[patent ginkgo]

Hmm

[hexed forge]

Alright so AE was operational and working before the year 2000

[patent ginkgo]

Well we knew that

[lethal moat]

I want to see the small text

[patent ginkgo]

But these magazines are from sometime after but near to 1975

[lethal moat]

I’m betting early 80s

Are we able to scan those barcodes?

[hexed forge]

Third floor... were the employees trying to block something? Were they trying to protect themselves from something? mmm

[hexed forge]

Its about to be a link to a rick roll

[lethal moat]

That already existed

[hexed forge]

Oh

[hexed forge]

Where

[lethal moat]

Planned obsolescence is fun

[lethal moat]

The the right of the title

[patent ginkgo]

Reminds me of what Don was saying before

[lethal moat]

Mhm

Those titles have some interesting potential meanings

[fast forge]

I wonder if the plants are new assets or just repurposed jungle plants

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/glitch-gif-18516012

[hexed forge]

Never seen these before, must be new.

[hexed forge]

Have fun trying to read it

Took me too long to find

[hexed forge]

Anyways...

TREES

[lethal moat]

Nice

[patent ginkgo]

The larger ones remind me of ficuses

The indoor plants that is

Ones on the left look like bird of paradise plant

Ones on right look a bit like corn plant (dracaena)

[lethal moat]

Interesting

[hexed forge]

Employees growing corn

[patent ginkgo]

It’s not actual corn

[hexed forge]

oh

[patent ginkgo]

Corn is a grass

Dracaena is different

[fast forge]

is this near west access?

[hexed forge]

Yes under a cliff

H6/5

[acoustic osprey]

oh, the placed another one around now?

[acoustic osprey]

do be cautious though
as these might be marketplace assets

[fast forge]

The words "AC Antenna" under the graph

[acoustic osprey]

so the validity of making dates/finding when from such is dubious

[acoustic osprey]

They removed it and put it back it seems

does it still have the storage box logo on it?

because I know it was removed a few patches ago

[hexed forge]

Inside perimeter

[acoustic osprey]

That was always there though

[hexed forge]

Only one way to check...

[acoustic osprey]

unless this is not the one inside the server room in Perimeter?

[hexed forge]

Its in an empty room, nothing else in it

[acoustic osprey]

unless that was the server room
and they took away the servers.

I'll take a look as well

[hexed forge]

Alr

[hexed forge]

Didnt check

[acoustic osprey]

oh nice there's a whole cave system under the volcano

didn't even realise

[fast forge]

really?

[acoustic osprey]

this is right next to the blocked entrance

[fast forge]

the main cave with the trees? or more?

[lethal moat]

Fuzzy showed us that earlier

It may have been Vraptor

[acoustic osprey]

through this way

[acoustic osprey]

dinosaurenthusiast

[lethal moat]

Damn, struck out

[acoustic osprey]

yeah!!

[lethal moat]

Now I need to apologize

[acoustic osprey]

yeah!!!!!

[lethal moat]

@maiden sundial My bad

[acoustic osprey]

some of the dome interiors, not perimeter, seem to have been dismantled (the environments inside)

as in, a bit more flattened and lack of trees

at least the one I usually see every time
the one next to Perm seems fine

there's a path in that one
but I believe that's always been there

[lethal moat]

Give us buildings in those places

[acoustic osprey]

yeah!!

honestly, i love this vibe

if the waters were more dirtier, this would be really cool.
Going through swamp sludge like this.
literally no visibility ahead of you

I know someone referred to the batteries on lorecord
but india confirmed place in Isle Earth

[lethal moat]

Polluted water or just stagnant and enclosed for years?

[acoustic osprey]

swamp/marsh water

so, stagnant

I'd presume Perm waters would be pretty unpolluted?
Unless whatever systems in place might've been affected somehow

[lethal moat]

Have a swarm of monstrously large mosquitos live in perimiter

[acoustic osprey]

lol

why not!
I try to escape them by playing video games.
So Isle brings MORE

[scarlet verge]

That looks long for India, it almost looks like Invidia, but I know it's not. The font makes it look longer maybe

[lethal moat]

The real realism of the isle

[fast forge]

is this in a dome?

[acoustic osprey]

that would be due to the model compression
https://gyazo.com/72d1f1602cf4a7616c2468d77d8a2b59

other letters also blend.
Like the "I" in "IN" is wider

[lethal moat]

Perimiter

[scarlet verge]

Ah that makes more sense, your screenshot looks better

[acoustic osprey]

^

[acoustic osprey]

rah!!! (isle does this to us)

honestly
the N in India looks a bit like a K

Ikdia

[scarlet verge]

But if it was set in the 90's then India makes a lot of sense

If* though

[acoustic osprey]

interesting to see that it's lead acid batteries

[lethal moat]

I’ll do research tonight and figure out what vehicles match the battery

[scarlet verge]

So I'm at K15 and the lights cut off at ~4:30. No idea if that has any significance, but it's still dark outside. Is "dawn" at 4:30 AM?

[fast forge]

that's when it seems to lighten

[acoustic osprey]

(some electric cars use lead acid)

make sure to put in VRLA battery

as it's valve regulated

[scarlet verge]

Makes sense, just seems super early. It's also raining, so it's probably more at a certain time than a certain light opacity

[acoustic osprey]

as technically a lot of older cards used lead acid
just not VRLA

[scarlet verge]

But yeah, it's also getting light

[acoustic osprey]

but yeah
apparently a lot of EV cars use VRLA batteries

even hybrids

heck even the prius

which would make a lot of sense

[scarlet verge]

But if it's set in the 90's that would make sense. Earlier technology would use older base batteries

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair, lithium ion was made in the 70s

[scarlet verge]

But at the time did it have the charge duration of the lead ones?

[acoustic osprey]

unsure

[scarlet verge]

Or time per charge, I forget the proper term

I know it's recent that batteries have had major advancements for how long they last. Lead used to be the leader, but they were so heavy it didn't make sense

[acoustic osprey]

it seems to be pretty mixed from my research
A lot of older original EVs used lead-acid
however some more "modern" ones also use lead-acid
whilst some use lithium or nickle-metal

however
there is a QR code in Perimeter

unsure if the model is marketplace or not

which would mean post-1994

[scarlet verge]

Can you scan it? I'm just wondering if it's a troll by Don for us. Probably not, but not many people would think twice about it if they saw it

[acoustic osprey]

seems like it's too small

[scarlet verge]

Hmmm, maybe it's for humans once they come in

[scarlet verge]

That's what came back when I zoomed in and scanned it

[acoustic osprey]

i'm presuming it's marketplace then

[lethal moat]

That sucks

[fast forge]

https://tenor.com/view/fry-futurama-suspicious-squint-gif-15326860

[hexed forge]

I cant tell what that says

Is that an R or a B

[fast forge]

I see .....ration

acceleration? chlorination? filtration? simply rations?

[lethal moat]

What is it on?

What’s the context of the lettering

[fast forge]

#isle-lore-theories message

if it's a store asset then it means nothing

[lethal moat]

Reclamation?

[hexed forge]

It's a store asset

[fast forge]

I don't see an M in that spot

[hexed forge]

The vending machine

[fast forge]

you found it on the asset store?

[hexed forge]

I found it in uhm

[fast forge]

it's probably just something to do with rations lol

[hexed forge]

Probably, either way means nothing sadly

[fast forge]

I still wanna see the new volcano caves myself

[hexed forge]

I think Jace is still working on them and that's why some of it is blocked off

[lethal moat]

Does it say anything on the store asset?

[hexed forge]

[maiden sundial]

It aigjt

[hexed forge]

It's a store asset that's all I know

[maiden sundial]

Just go to free admin if you have a thing on there

[fast forge]

I don't know what that is

[hexed forge]

A server that gives you admin powers

[fast forge]

I see

[hexed forge]

Lorecord has one, just gotta @ shadow and ask for admin perms

Server is called Shirley's Kingdom

[hexed forge]

Even if it did I don't know how it would transfer into lore

[lethal moat]

[hexed forge]

[acoustic osprey]

it is the server room

they just removed the server part of the room, lol

[hexed forge]

Oh

[acoustic osprey]

they must be getting remodelled then?
