I wonder if Omnis can pounce it?

[lethal moat]

I bet we can cram 6 people into the UTV

[hexed forge]

If you dont get shot by the people in the back yeah

[hexed forge]

Hear me out.

20 people on the big rig. Its possible.

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/russian-tanks-gif-22428392

[hexed forge]

Some hop on the hood of the rig, some on the top, yeah, like that gif ahhaha

[lethal moat]

Stack em on the outside

[knotty locust]

everyone with flashlights blinding the local wildlife

[hexed forge]

Including the megalania.

[fast forge]

there are so many boulders on the roads on gateway

[knotty locust]

💃

[hexed forge]

Map isnt finished,

[hexed forge]

Ye-Yeah, blind the local wildlife... blind megalanias.

Hows that good!!

[lethal moat]

UTV and ATV with saddlebags are probably going to be my preferred, unless you can put saddle bags on the dirtbike

This bad boy can fit so many corpses foolish Utahs trapped gen 1s boxes of food and ammunition inside of it

[hexed forge]

You forgot the

Hypsi hatchlings that I abducted

[lethal moat]

My bad

I do think a squad of 4 on dirtbikes and atvs could make good progress across the map, raiding bases and having mobile camps

Speed over defense

[tribal parrot]

The cars looks good

[hexed forge]

I assume the bikes make way more noise than the other vehicles in the concept

[lethal moat]

I can see the UTV being slow, but having decent suspension, have a dude crouching in the back with a shotgun to defend and just keep it below 15 km per hour

[knotty locust]

depends if they’re 2stroke or 4stroke

[lethal moat]

I would like to know the scale on the big rig, is it semi-truck sized or is it tow truck sized?

[knotty locust]

2 stroke sounds like a high pitched chainsaw while 4 strokes sound more like quad bikes/cars

[knotty locust]

compare it to a Western Star truck from australia on google images

should be the right truck if I recall

[lethal moat]

Semi truck size then

[hexed forge]

Able to kill rexes

Mmmm, close enough?

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/truck-jumps-ramp-gif-15362274

[hexed forge]

I think this is a decent comparison.

It's gonna be so fun zipping around the map on a dirtbike

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/keenan-snl-hmm-somethings-off-not-right-gif-21474209

[lethal moat]

It can be based off of something without being that exact thing

More developed roads would be sick

[snow jasper]

you one of 'em Lore Masters yet rumple?

[hexed forge]

GUTS would probably be the main method of transportation tho. I dont think a truck would go from west access to NE just by using a path on the surface.

Paths probably would be mainly used for surveillance and research tasks

So not every road has to be exactly flat and perfect.

[hexed forge]

What are the qualifications to be a lore master,

If its to get special information from Dondi, then yes, Rumple is a lore master.

[snow jasper]

I see

[lethal moat]

I want that cliffside concept from legacy, that was cool

[hexed forge]

Oh yeah, would be nice. But it looks a little weird, maybe its just my eyes.

Ight, gonna point out what neuro said.

The front fender is WAYYYY too close to the wheel.

[patent ginkgo]

Yeah, I have a feeling that’s part of the “rough” part

Though I agree

[knotty locust]

who needs suspension when you can just wreck the front half of your vehicle

[patent ginkgo]

Otherwise looks pretty cool

[hexed forge]

Fair

[knotty locust]

honestly if i worked for AE and had to use that bike id cut that fender off

[knotty locust]

[hexed forge]

Hol up

Bike from the 80s

[lethal moat]

What if we drive single file, quad bikes down the monorail tracks

[pseudo fable]

They will not be so well put together that you'd be doing that for a very long stretch at all. Would be super fun in a tunnel or two, probably.

[lethal moat]

I’ve got a need for speed

Ptera mario cart and normal mario cart

[hexed forge]

Time to overthink that, the monorail track being destructed or the quads are not usable for long terms.

[lethal moat]

I’m betting monorail

[hexed forge]

Im betting that you cant use vehicles for a long period of time.

[fast forge]

I thought of the bike breaking down at first, but I kinda settled on "the steering is jumpy and staying atop a monorail will be difficult"

[knotty locust]

monorail for sure

[hexed forge]

"They will not be so well put together"

[fast forge]

yeah, the shocks and handlebars will be all weird and it doesn't steer so good

[knotty locust]

its a damaged monorail system, if you go the whole length at some point youre gonna fly off because theres no track

[hexed forge]

Either the monorail track isnt at its best state, or the vehicle.

We shall never know because Don will never confirm it and watch us suffer

Or, why cant it be both.

https://tenor.com/view/loki-loki-series-bit-of-both-loki-clip-tom-hiddleston-gif-21748514

[fast forge]

well, yes, that's the more fun option I'm sure

[hexed forge]

Actually, Ima bet that its both.

[zenith frigate]

if the track was damaged to the point that driving was not possible how would you be able to get through mutiple like Don said

its probably just the vehicle

[hexed forge]

Some sections of it might be damaged.

Not able to do a full loop around the island using the monorail. Gotta come to a stop at some point.

It could be both.

[pseudo fable]

Both, yeah. But I did specifically mean the monorail track in that statement.

[hexed forge]

Aye, thanks for the confirmation. We wouldve gone insane.

[zenith frigate]

[lethal moat]

Thanks, that would have been a multiple day long debate lol, will there be ways for us to make those vehicles better, maybe by cannibalising others for parts?

[knotty locust]

considering the bike looks like its from the 80s while the vehicles look heavily modern, you can imagine some of the vehicles are a tiny bit oudated

[hexed forge]

"Where the hell did my wheel go"

[pseudo fable]

We'll see if vehicles are feasible for something other than decor.

[lethal moat]

Gotcha

[hexed forge]

Ah, so it might just be decor.

[knotty locust]

two gen 2s scavenging eachother's vehicles to repair their own wondering why things keep disappearing

[lethal moat]

If we can do wheelies, neuro will be an extraordinarily happy man

[hexed forge]

[lethal moat]

Derailed monorail could be a fun location for jumping dinos

[hexed forge]

Hint on the next lore video?

However the next lore video is all the way in october(Likely on Halloween as per usual)

[zenith frigate]

A single letter of lore please

[lethal moat]

Alright, lets discuss why Tartarus was in dibble video

[hexed forge]

For my own sanity I just want to think that its a funny little easter egg.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1184681758231363636/1202852028393590794/Lore_Pathway.gif

[lethal moat]

[patent ginkgo]

I wanna drive it

[valid geyser]

vroooom

[acoustic osprey]

No

[acoustic osprey]

(please have raytraced sound if something like this, being able to drive, is put in properly)

looking at the older roughs of the truck
I do say it's a good conceptual idea that Tap has brought forth from the "quick sketch" into the proper concept phase

you can see, in all four vehicles shown, a real nice understanding of theme

that works well with how Tap described it

[lethal moat]

Brutalist and practical

[acoustic osprey]

https://gyazo.com/984adb95cc95940983cfd541f7b6f4d7
https://gyazo.com/2b226b5ae825be11c6edf3b27509dd1e
https://gyazo.com/a01f92645e2e7fc0fe58227b958b39b5

which definitely accentuates, on the side profile, the brutal / made from the factory, quick and ready

as if you just added some metal plating around the chasis

no spectacles
just what's necessary

https://gyazo.com/e8ce388a1582069a427c1ba0fbe949a0

hard to tell
but i wonder if the rig is a 10 wheeler

[lethal moat]

Depends on the trailer type I think

[acoustic osprey]

hard to really tell
typically the inner wheel would come in
so you'd see it

[acoustic osprey]

basically almost all big trucks/rigs are 10 wheelers

if anything
this seems to be on the smaller side for a truck

in terms of
no 12 wheeler

but
that's good though

[lethal moat]

That’s what I’m thinking, it’s not very large, however, can I remove the hitch and just make a gunnery platform

[acoustic osprey]

because a 12 wheeler is a lot more front heavy
which basically makes doing any sort of "offroad" basically impossible

[lethal moat]

A small trailer to haul a generator in the UTV or the ATV could be cool

[acoustic osprey]

would be interesting

[lethal moat]

Provided of course, the vehicles are usable 🤞

[acoustic osprey]

i'd assume less so for the ATV
don't really need anything special for such

[acoustic osprey]

higher chance than the monorails, at least

[lethal moat]

I will drive the monorail offroad

[acoustic osprey]

NOOO

to be fair though
monorails are basically confirmed not happening

but from the don statement recently
does he mean to infer that there is a potential for no monorail tracks as well?

[lethal moat]

I think it’s just degraded and broken monorail tracks

[acoustic osprey]

to note though
usually a 6 wheeler truck is just a 4x4
with the rear containing an extra wheel on the axel

[acoustic osprey]

i guess we already knew this already
not that sad, I suppose

[acoustic osprey]

basically akin to this

[lethal moat]

I was concerned for a moment before I realized most non-american vehicles don’t have the steering wheel on the left lol

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[lethal moat]

So

How about that forklift

Craig the forklift operator, martyr of gateway survivors

We need to see his weapon of choice, Excalabert

[acoustic osprey]

also a bit confused on the dirtbike

the fender doesn't make much sense
and I hope Tap fixes that

[lethal moat]

Yeah, I think it’s just “rough” part of the concept, I’m not too worried about it

[acoustic osprey]

https://gyazo.com/48aa4625799ac23dc87f530088a559f7

[lethal moat]

Other than that, phenomenal work though

[acoustic osprey]

as you'd typically have the fender basically connected on the chasis

due to just
bike suspension on dirtbikes

wheel moves a lot

so you're adding a bit more weight
makes mud a pain
and a bit unnecessary (you'd only need a lower render for highway speed n stability, basically)

[lethal moat]

[acoustic osprey]

https://www.instagram.com/p/BCVlQnNIiAr/?taken-by=paulstrubell

dirtorcas

Sometimes you find too much mud and your front wheel takes a nap. @bmwmotorrad #iowa #adventuremotorcycling

Instagram

basically leading to this

will be interesting to see the final product though

Hope Don / Tap can see this and adjust for Visual/whomever is making the models

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/snocross-jump-red-bull-racing-driving-speed-up-gif-21742152

I want treads

Halftrack plz

[acoustic osprey]

if necessary
to be fair

it doesn't add gameplay
just more "realism" - just depends if "X" really cares or not. Because it really doesn't do anything

[acoustic osprey]

if we get vehicles working
and a snow biome/map

I 100% believe someone will

[lethal moat]

Halftrack doesn’t need snow
I want to see monorail resupply points

Underground warehouse?

Just a staging area to immediately move to trucks?

Wonder if the tartarus reference in dibble video was about one of the other animals in the video, rather than the dibblets themselves

[acoustic osprey]

hmmm

[toxic zinc]

There was a Tartarus reference? When was it?

[acoustic osprey]

2 frames

basically this
but super corrupted

only text we know that was on there was 'TARTARUS'

[toxic zinc]

Ahh ok thanks!

[acoustic osprey]

aye

[acoustic osprey]

tar tar

[fast forge]

when I smushed the top and bottom together

[toxic zinc]

Ah wow

[hexed forge]

Yippee

[hexed forge]

When did these 2 frames appear?

Around the dilo call timestamp, troodon call timestamp, or just with the dibbles.

[acoustic osprey]

for a few seconds

[hexed forge]

Not with the troodon calls?

[hexed forge]

Mmm

[acoustic osprey]

mmmm

[hexed forge]

Mmmmmmmmmmm

[robust ether]

https://tenor.com/view/microwave-gif-18041779

[hexed forge]

Just checked the video, it happens when the dibbles start sparring and its before this frame.

Not sure if its in the correct order though, it might be shuffled around, probably is.

Also at 2:54, is that a troodon running by?

Something with glowing eyes, fast, and the dibble was looking at it.

[hexed forge]

Someone in Petits pointed out a good question.

How did AE handle the mutations the dinosaurs were developing? (Saltwater mutations for example)

Did these mutations happen before or after the incidents, or were they one of the incidents that caused Gateway to be abondoned.

[lethal moat]

I think the mutations were intentional, and potentially encouraged in some situations, given the Augustus video and AE’s knowledge of nesting

[hexed forge]

If the dinosaurs were allowed to roam freely, as some have theorized, then semi-aquatics that develop the saltwater mutation might be problematic for containing the dinosaurs on the island.

[lethal moat]

Well that’d be the same problem as the Quetz flying off

[hexed forge]

Quetz was probably contained in a Dome tho

[lethal moat]

Maybe

But I don’t think so

[valid geyser]

Depends on how far this island is from another piece of land.

Why leave where there’s food? Especially if the next place with food could be very far

[hexed forge]

Why did the Pteras on Sorna leave? Natural instincts of migrating!

I think, I dont remember the exact reasoning.

[valid geyser]

I dunno i hardly remember that series now

[hexed forge]

Time to google rq brb

[lethal moat]

Found it #isle-lore-theories message

[hexed forge]

That just leads to the theory of Earth literally being a wasteland.

[hexed forge]

Yeah its because of migration stuff, instincts of birds.

[lethal moat]

#isle-lore-theories message

[valid geyser]

If no food, go to food

[lethal moat]

We might just not get an answer

[valid geyser]

Yeah, i see yer point there

Counter argument. These aren’t true dinosaurs, who knows which instincts they still carry and which they don’t due to their circumstances

[fast forge]

When asked about the force field around the island, weren't we told there are other reasons the animals don't leave the island?

[hexed forge]

True

[lethal moat]

Maybe the island is the only place with enough life for food for dinos large enough to leave, since the replicator could be giving it a boost

[fast forge]

and my theory was that EIP's require a radio connection to work

[hexed forge]

Alright, so if Quetz and Pteras werent kept in Domes. Then how did AE deal with a wandering quetz just landing on a human base and start pecking humans

[lethal moat]

I don’t think they were kept in domes

[hexed forge]

domestic

[fast forge]

by keeping the majority of human buildings underground, and using motion tracking cameras to watch anything that comes near a resupply point

[lethal moat]

Shush

[hexed forge]

That would cause a lot of issues tho

[lethal moat]

So would having a bunch of multi ton therapods on an island

[hexed forge]

Fair

But thats why the Hyper fences exist.

[fast forge]

tbh keeping quetz in a dome isn't very feasible - current theories around real azdharchids suggest they probably crossed entire continents

[hexed forge]

Im still not 100% comfortable with the idea of dinosaurs roaming the island freely.

[valid geyser]

It’d be like keeping a great white in a tank

Can’t move as much as it needs.
Dead.

[fast forge]

I think the hyper fences kept everything mostly in the center, with human facilities mostly on the coast

[hexed forge]

Thats what I think too

[fast forge]

idk maybe this is part of why robo quetz was a thing? better control their movements

[hexed forge]

With the exception of Riverdelta and Swamp to be the only coast biomes that the dinosaurs can access

[lethal moat]

But dibble was inserted on the coasy

[hexed forge]

Swamp coast.

[valid geyser]

I wonder if humans had some fancy thing to keep dinosaurs off

Can i have a dog whistle for dinosaurs?

[hexed forge]

Owen Grady of the Isle

[lethal moat]

Tracking chips + sound traps could work

[hexed forge]

Owen Grady was working for AE and just tussled a rex when the rex leaves its designated area.

[valid geyser]

Yeah, keep an eye on where they are and if some dinosaur is starting to near the base they drive it off

[valid geyser]

Lore!!

[fast forge]

they have tracking chips

at least some of them

[hexed forge]

These things mightve monitored Dinosaurs from swimming off actually, perhaps...

[lethal moat]

I think that’s more for weather tbh

[hexed forge]

Emits some sort of frequency that Dinosaurs react to, Idk.

[valid geyser]

Could be a nice function for both

[hexed forge]

Anyways, why is there a random Radio Tower in east plains..

[snow jasper]

what

is that new?

[hexed forge]

No

[fast forge]

I don't recognize that

[snow jasper]

huh...

[fast forge]

where in east plains?

[hexed forge]

Path from the coast

[hexed forge]

-62,523.931, 551,693.787, 30,342.751

I first found it on HT, and then switched branches to check if its new.

Check on the old gateway concept, maybe something is supposed to be here.

A dock.

Ignore the circles

Coincidence?

https://tenor.com/view/coincidence-i-think-not-coincidence-i-think-not-the-incredibles-gif-5096707

The radio tower only loads in when you are close to it, explains why people never saw it before.

[fast forge]

those circles are not the same spot as that radio tower

that radio tower spot is further south

like that southeast dock

[hexed forge]

#isle-lore-theories message

[acoustic osprey]

food for thought

seeing as we seem to be a huge downtime for lore atm

not all the dinos seem to be EIPs
natural born off-spring are likely not EIPs
^ especially when they're born

there could be some sort of "post-birth" consciousness given? potentially?

Albeit, we have nothing of the sort like that yet

at least, nothing to support such

if anything
that may only happen to replicated creatures

because, such replicated creature would be a clean piece of meat, bones and blood. Technically

[lethal moat]

I think so

[acoustic osprey]

potential thought
all replicated creatures need an EIP?

[lethal moat]

I think the named dinos are EIPs but not the others

[lethal moat]

I don’t think all of them

[acoustic osprey]

for me, I don't think all named creatures need to be EIPs
just that all named are (at least) EIPs

[acoustic osprey]

it'd be an interesting aspect for AE if they'd actually need to create consciousness (through an EIP) for a replicated animal to actually "exist"

it solves/interacts with one problem with literally "creating life"

how do you create it
without life

[lethal moat]

I think something like that could happen, but something like human level intelligence might be reserved for named creatures

[acoustic osprey]

^ if anything
I think it 100% depends on the tags given to the creatures

[lethal moat]

Just the special ones

[acoustic osprey]

looking at the contrast between AUGUSTUS' actual namecode vs the dibbles'

[acoustic osprey]

I mean
that's just EIPs anyways (human level intelligence)

[lethal moat]

I think EIPs are also rather unknown to us at the moment, so we don’t know much, or rather, we are assuming much

[acoustic osprey]

well
we know they're still embryo intelligence profiles (EIP)

would mean they have intelligence

sure, to note, every living creature has intelligence
but then it should just be "EP"

being that it'd still be human to refer to something akin to the level of human intelligence/understanding and cognition/brainly function as "intelligence"

[lethal moat]

Could there be different levels of EIPs?

[acoustic osprey]

i doubt such

at least
that just depending on whomever is the profile

who becomes a profile?
what is a profile? - what is a profile for someone?

do you need to be actually transferred?

[lethal moat]

[acoustic osprey]

makes me curious with the contrast between AUGUSTUS and the Dibbles' "name tags"

but yeah
gotta wait

[lethal moat]

And SHIRLEY

[acoustic osprey]

well
Shirley is basically in the same boat as AUGUSTUS it seems

[lethal moat]

Right

[acoustic osprey]

https://gyazo.com/c614bb4c124fe9595b60eba72cc2e6e8

https://gyazo.com/600bd2d0877dd589aa7ecad958db57c4

likely under the same

[knotty locust]

i imagine the HRS stands for something like "H-something Replicant Series"

[acoustic osprey]

Herrerasaurus...

[knotty locust]

i cant think of what the H stands for because im currently this close to fistfighting with the sleep devil

[knotty locust]

definitely possible

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/house-md-gregory-house-sad-crying-compassion-gif-14821639

[knotty locust]

my first thought was "Homogenous" but i dont think that makes sense

maybe tho,...

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/cheers-ill-drink-to-that-bro-gif-12940340

[fast forge]

Breaking this apart:
HRS.12 = Herrerasaurus version 12?
S.174 = We know Augustus is individual #174, but I wonder about that S...

[lethal moat]

Subject?

[acoustic osprey]

don gave us a meaning

[fast forge]

Probably Subject, makes sense

Which would then imply... test subject?

Asset seems more general - "A thing we own"
Subject is specific to a study

[acoustic osprey]

From an old Dondi stream, however, no clips exist anymore, he refers to one as a location and one as the dinosaur/creature’s lineage

^ in reference to what each section means in the AUGUSTUS ID

[fast forge]

Reading it differently, 12-S is the location then?

[acoustic osprey]

174 is likely his identification number
HRS meaning Herrera
12-S could be location

but we still need to identity which is lineage and which is location

[fast forge]

Well it doesn't match up with our map as 12-S is in the ocean

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/hog-rider-coc-clash-of-clans-gif-24053135

[lethal moat]

Is it another f6 situation

[acoustic osprey]

wait, better to use the actual dondi summoning gif

[acoustic osprey]

to an extent
that's presuming 12-S is one strand
and not 12 being a lineage tag and S being location

S could be in reference to Britain as a sector
knowing J Sector and I Sector are in use too for their respective areas

locational tag less so being a GPS thing - which wouldn't make sense to be a GPS thing anyways

[lethal moat]

I’m going eeby and thinking on this later today

[acoustic osprey]

more so being where he was made, seeing as AUGUSTUS is practically an EIP

[lethal moat]

Have a good one yall

night rump

[fast forge]

I wonder why SHIRLEY's full ID was redacted, but not AUGUSTUS

[acoustic osprey]

don being edgy!!

i do want to know if it's supposed to be 'in-lore'
is it due to USER's clearance level?

[fast forge]

It's pretty easy to guess the 3-digit animal designation

TRX

[acoustic osprey]

yeah lol

i suppose, community-wise, he didn't know what the lineage/location aspect would be

or didn't want us to know yet

not like it has much important (unless it does in the future)

[fast forge]

It does seem like a good idea to not reveal too much simply because you don't have it hammered out, and saying something kinda makes it canon

[acoustic osprey]

aye

i do wonder if it's supposed to be "lore-affected" those videos
how much is lore lore and the rest just "ARG-esque" lore meant for us, the community

why would you redact these things?

even things within the actual boot up of the PC

makes more sense to hide media from someone who might not reach full clearance

but PC information? Am curious

[acoustic osprey]

but, yeah, it quite truly just be 100% only because of this

rather than being a mix of 50/50 community and in-lore reason

[fast forge]

probably some mix of everything

[acoustic osprey]

like

the presentation : not truly accurate lore

but

the data : 100% accurate lore (for the time)

is what I'm curious about

I think I talked about this earlier this year

it's something I believe Don wouldn't answer anyways, if I asked him here, though lol

[fast forge]

He'd likely give a half-answer that doesn't reveal anything specific but maybe has a little hint

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/house-md-gregory-house-sad-crying-compassion-gif-14821639

[fast forge]

TBH it's probably fun for him, and it's kinda fun for us too

[acoustic osprey]

[raw ridge]

Omg it's The Isle Lore Guy

[acoustic osprey]

oh

[hexed forge]

An EIP that was begging for help

[acoustic osprey]

Yes I know this

But that ġif doesn't say much

For what worded aspects can be

[hexed forge]

I was trying to spark a conversation

[hexed forge]

Wdym

[midnight warren]

[acoustic osprey]

Need hard confirmation

[hexed forge]

oh

[strange shell]

Could mean he likes the theory, not that it's true
Dondi likes being cryptic

[hexed forge]

[lethal moat]

Named dinosaurs as (human) EIPs for AE to better understand and the others as animal replications?

[fast forge]

my initial take was that they named AUGUSTUS when they found it

[lethal moat]

Maybe

[fast forge]

It makes sense to me - all individuals have numerical designations until they become notable enough to provoke further study, at which point they give it a name because they'll need to talk about it all the time

[lethal moat]

I’m thinking that the human EIPs could be to prove any major changes and mutations, like what happened with Augustus, going HEY GUYS, CHECK THIS OUT

[median shuttle]

if that is true I hope theres gonna be some incident report abt shirley

[nimble fractal]

I thought it was obvious that they named it after the incident happened

[agile stump]

Hey guys I noticed in the living roadmap that it’s says 1994-1999 what’s your thoughts

I’m not sure if you guys knew or not so I thought I’d put it here just in case

[median shuttle]

thats the timeframe of the license for AE's proprietary software it gives us a clue that AE did still operate at that time idk if it gives us any more info tho

[lethal moat]

Yeah, that’s the timeframe we know AE was using and updating their software, which suggest they either swapped to a new software in 99 or they haven’t touched it since then

[hexed forge]

1999

[agile stump]

That’s cool

[fast forge]

@hexed forge Highlands had a fence in #isle-phase-three message?

[hexed forge]

Never made it to release, but yes. Looks like it did

[fast forge]

would this match any of your conjectured fences?

[hexed forge]

It was fencing off the west rail access and west access area

Nah.

Old gateway is weird

If im looking at it correctly, the fence is on top of a mountain..?

[median shuttle]

I do hope that river makes it in

and generally that looks real good to me

[hexed forge]

Maybe when floods are added the dams break

[median shuttle]

the dam did get lowered a little bit in the ht before dibble so who knows

tho I think I heard sth abt floods breaking the map so idk if thats a realistic thing to happen

[hexed forge]

High tides and low tides can still work tho

[median shuttle]

maybe, I would like a few more water sources and rivers anyway and theres plenty of spots on the map that have runoff channels that seem to have been created through glacial melting

Man I gotta get off my butt and start working on that "geography of gateway video"

[hexed forge]

I gotta get off my ass and work on my second video project too lmao

https://tenor.com/view/panda-animated-lazy-sleepy-cute-gif-6836156041740767298

[median shuttle]

well it's my first so I gotta make a yt channel and buy a mic as well and I gotta do research

[hexed forge]

Ah

Good luck

[median shuttle]

rn would honestly be the perfect time to do it, I just signed up for Uni but still got a few months until classes start

[hexed forge]

I recommend DaVinci for video editing.

Isaac and a few more in the lore community use it

[median shuttle]

I do already have that on my pc

[hexed forge]

Nice

[lethal moat]

I honestly have more time at uni than I do at my normal house for making stuff, which is why the podcast has been pretty sporadic recently

I despise hearing my own voice, so I just convert a recording to a mp3 file and do podcast, because editing one episode was very unfun for me, so the rest just stat in spotify

[lethal moat]

not sure if it's better or worse, but another option

Akin to the actual Augustus

[median shuttle]

we dont know quite for sure, but I'd assume so since theyre a huge conglomerate

[high nacelle]

Where do the playable humans fit in? Are they mercenaries or are they people unfortunate enough to sail or crash on the Island. If they are mercenaries then why are they there?

[acoustic osprey]

Neither

Gen2s, like the dinos, are a creation of AE

[high nacelle]

Ohhh

Wait why would AE make genetically modified humans? Super soldiers perhaps?

[acoustic osprey]

Potentially to play God and to create the perfect human

[lethal moat]

Currently unknown, bit likely not military I would say

[high nacelle]

Maybe AE is preparing for something and need genetically superior humans

I wouldn’t say preparing for anything world ending because that is an extreme stretch

[lethal moat]

They were working on climate change stuff at one point

This is also a thing #isle-lore-theories message

[high nacelle]

I like the climate change theory a lot now

[lethal moat]

Especially since the giant crabs originated from a project to slow/reduce climate change

[high nacelle]

I originally came with a theory when I found out about gen 2s. Maybe AE is using strains and mutations to make the perfect organism to go along with the “perfect” human since mutations seem pretty useful for climate change. Maybe the strains were a stepping stone towards the gen 2s

[lethal moat]

What if what was off about this theory is that it’s another world that AE is terraforming to fit future human needs and Nih was close about the aliens all along lol

[lethal moat]

Perfect organism
Matriarch (in my opinion but also legacy stuff)

[acoustic osprey]

we know they made giant crabs by accidentally leaking "large underwater plant" aspects

there is a potential theory such "giant crab" aspect, by accident, lead to the purposeful creation of the Hyperendocrin strain

[lethal moat]

You seem fun, you want an invite to the lore server?

“Project Prometheus” seems fitting for the Gen 2 theories

[acoustic osprey]

that and/or Gen1s

[high nacelle]

Yeah

[lethal moat]

I agree

[high nacelle]

Maybe when climate change enters an extreme and humans are near extinction that is when the Gen 2s and Dinosaurs play their major role

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/hazbin-hotel-maybe-possibly-might-be-perhaps-gif-15643771

EIPs also probably fit into that somewhere

[high nacelle]

Maybe is good enough for me

[lethal moat]

Good, because there’s a lot of maybes lol

[high nacelle]

Since AE is a smaller company controlled by Apollo, maybe Apollo has some sort of firm grip on some of the world like public views, medicine, and other products and assets. This is also probably why no one questions what they do since well… Apollo is responsible for medicine and other beneficial things to humanity. Climate change is probably some sort of a good news to them and is a foundation for AE to create Gen 1 and 2s and Dinosaurs since the dinosaurs are apparently “Fortunate” and “Necessary”

[lethal moat]

Mhm, I imagine medicine can be directly tied to Apollo Pharmaceuticals North, another known AE subsidary

[acoustic osprey]

well
we do know AE, itself, has global research
and Apollo owns several subsidiaries

so it's quite likely Apollo is quite global

hence why it likely can't choose who to work with

[high nacelle]

The public probably views them as something beneficial and necessary, something they CAN’T lose. This is probably why Apollo has its god complex because in their eyes they rule the world and control every major business.

[acoustic osprey]

Seeing as they work on global environmental issues

who knows how authentic it is though

not that they're "pretending"
but how heavy are they going in to that?

if you fix all the problems in the world
what's left for the world besides a sterile and fixed life?

[lethal moat]

We’re saving the earth, but also, what if troodon?

https://tenor.com/view/ultron-sorry-i-know-you-mean-well-i-know-you-mean-well-mean-well-think-it-through-gif-22337787

[high nacelle]

Maybe Apollo starts climate change so the world looks to them for help. The mortals begging the gods.

[acoustic osprey]

likely part with The Replicator

[lethal moat]

[hexed forge]

A utopia

[acoustic osprey]

[hexed forge]

That's a u

[acoustic osprey]

You

[hexed forge]

Me?

[acoustic osprey]

yes

[hexed forge]

Why me

[lethal moat]

A utopia is impossible because humans aren’t incentivized to not take other’s stuff

[acoustic osprey]

hence if it were to exist, it'd basically always be a dystopia for basically everyone

practically every young adult book from the 2010s lol

but's true
human nature is disasterous

maybe Gen2s contain a lack of human nature?

[lethal moat]

So do gen 1

[acoustic osprey]

build a society without the human part

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair though, that might be due to their monstrous attributes

[hexed forge]

Ultron!

[acoustic osprey]

basically
but that's without humans in general

more so in terms of removing the human natures of Gen2s

[hexed forge]

Hmm

[lethal moat]

Who’s the monster, Frankenstein or his creation?

[acoustic osprey]

Gen2s are "perfect"
because they're basically only human in flesh without the poison of the human condition

[high nacelle]

What if apollo is behind the climate change so the public will look to them for help, the mortals begging their gods for help

[acoustic osprey]

I don't doubt Apollo is doing such for PR

[lethal moat]

But with EIPs, that could ruin the gen 2

[acoustic osprey]

BOTH

[acoustic osprey]

depends if they have an EIP

or if the 1000 lives, the "cleaned state" of the previously human mind, is taken inside of a Gen2
their reward

what happens to the mind?
how would they react?

how human would they be anymore?

that all depends though on how Gen2s exist in the mind

[lethal moat]

Cleanse your humanity be becoming lizard

[acoustic osprey]

about IF a replicated creature needs a Profile to exist

a mind for the body

the body cannot do

[lethal moat]

Good old rogue ai, even though ultron and the replicator are doing what they were told to do

I think

[high nacelle]

The Replicator could have been told something without it being specified

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/frustrated-no-jurassic-park-hammond-gif-16813602

[high nacelle]

maybe Olympus could be a safe haven for the humans who survive climate change and could watch over the new world, like the gods they want to be.

or maybe it just has normal AE employees, who knows

[lethal moat]

I’m skeptical about that too

What if it’s less about the physical thing being sacrificed and more about the action itself

[high nacelle]

hmm

[lethal moat]

We’ve got mutations for dinos from doing specific actions, why not gen 1?

[high nacelle]

True

[acoustic osprey]

I'm guessing it being the housing of the CEO and other high staff

aka. Safe haven for the rich

[high nacelle]

Home of the gods

[acoustic osprey]

[high nacelle]

maybe the ceo's nickname is zeus lol

[acoustic osprey]

I'd say that would be a bit on the nose

[high nacelle]

I still think its in the game...just very specific way to get it..

Perhaps it has something to do with Docktahs or troodon?

LORE GUY

[frozen vine]

Can anyone think of where in the world gateway is located according to its flora?

[lethal moat]

@patent ginkgo Is the plant lore guy, unfortunately, we know some (likely many) of the plants are genetically modified, so it very well could be anywhere tropical and they just inserted a bunch of edited plants to make their own Frankenstein ecosystem

[frozen vine]

I see, thank you

[acoustic osprey]

Hi...

[fast forge]

In fact a lot of the diet plants are from temperate climates, and normally would not survive a tropical environment

[patent ginkgo]

We have confirmation unfortunately that the static map plants don’t really have much lore significance beyond “tropical place”

[frozen vine]

thank you, then it is a generalist jungle. i noticed that several plants recycle the same leaves i guess some are not real plants.

[pseudo fable]

Get me a guy dedicated to making plants and that can change.

But otherwise you get, "It is game," reasons.

[acoustic osprey]

That'd be cool

[frozen vine]

I am not against the plants in the game

[acoustic osprey]

Seeing as Evrima isn't 20+ GB any more
So if we could, it wouldn't be that bad

[acoustic osprey]

Why not

Should I ping Jolly?

[lethal moat]

Just sign the contract

[acoustic osprey]

Why

[hexed forge]

Plant talk, Idk.

[acoustic osprey]

What plant

[young viper]

@patent ginkgo

[valid geyser]

Plants!!

[young viper]

what is done is done

[acoustic osprey]

Jolly should learn to model
Yes

[hexed forge]

Your plants

[acoustic osprey]

Oh

[hexed forge]

Guh Im multi-tasking rn

[valid geyser]

You ARE plants.

[hexed forge]

It was 15gb 🤔

[acoustic osprey]

Multi-planting

[acoustic osprey]

It went up to around 21gb

[hexed forge]

6.5 or are you thinking of another version?

[acoustic osprey]

A version

[patent ginkgo]

I approve of this mindset

[valid geyser]

Jolly learn how to 3d model
Make plants

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[hexed forge]

^

[patent ginkgo]

I’m sure I could put together at least a simple list of plants to have lore significance

[patent ginkgo]

We shall see

[acoustic osprey]

None

[hexed forge]

Make strain plants specifically-

However still not sure if they are canon to the lore or not.

[hexed forge]

Strain plants!

If they are canon that is.

[acoustic osprey]

They're not yet iirc

[patent ginkgo]

Just Death Valley

[acoustic osprey]

Nothing stopping herbi strains

But Don really hyped up plant strains in 2018

Hope to see a come back

This is still lore chat.
Thought I clicked the other one.

[patent ginkgo]

Someday you will learn that it’s all lore chat

[hexed forge]

Same

[acoustic osprey]

Yes
Always have been

Lore is all

[acoustic osprey]

Why

[hexed forge]

Correct

[hexed forge]

Strain = Cool
Plant Lore = Cool
Strain plant = Cool

I didn't expect it to end like this xD

[hexed forge]

How would that work..

[acoustic osprey]

Welcome

Eats creature
Becomes a bit more like that creature

One it reaches a threshold
It can start to move

[hexed forge]

Oh yeah, I guess that could work

[median shuttle]

I think it would be great if the first tisso art we get is a plant

[median shuttle]

you go to eat some plants and the plant ends up eating you

[acoustic osprey]

To be fair
I'd like to see plant strain being different to an extent

Same with herbs, if ever

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-20591327

Strain is strain

And strain adjacent

More the merrier

[young viper]

yeah but what about

hyper anky

[hexed forge]

More armor, more aggresive, perhaps more stamina, able to eat meat.

[grim jacinth]

I really wish there was a way to know if Apex like T-Rex or the Hyperendocrins themselves would be able to destroy the buildings from the island

[hexed forge]

Rex will be able to damage/destroy fences at human bases(Resupply points)

I believe there is a clip of that on youtube, from the Don stream.

[lethal moat]

Someone shared this neat little bug before reporting it, and we’ve seen rex destroying the fences around bases on streams before https://youtu.be/8F3ebUtOSH4?si=tqxWiXp2MnkI9_rs

[hexed forge]

QA?

How the hell did a bug of an unreleased dino make it into the HT branch

Well wait a second that isnt the HT branch 🤔

[grim jacinth]

I saw in the test video that the T-Rex destroys a fence with two little hits

[acoustic osprey]

Lol

Looks interesting

[hexed forge]

Im very confused... QA branch or not.. cant be HT 🤔

[grim jacinth]

I think the fence is a little small or thin, I wanted to powerscaling of The Isle and place them above Jurassic World 🐒

[valid geyser]

Cerato that’s a Cerato

[acoustic osprey]

Looks like HT base lights

[hexed forge]

How does he have admin perms on HT!!

[valid geyser]

Cerato wuh??

[grim jacinth]

JW Dinosaurs have Small Building level feats, I wanted to put The Isle in at least Building level or Large Building, but I have little evidence to support this

[hexed forge]

This is only visible for people that have admin perms

[valid geyser]

No idea :)

[hexed forge]

Has to be the evrima main branch if thats not a QA person

[acoustic osprey]

Ask @golden hemlock

[grim jacinth]

Does anyone have any evidence? Something about the lore that might help with this

[hexed forge]

I would say small

[elder notch]

Its on normal branch, i just tried

[hexed forge]

DAMN

[meager junco]

God I wish I had that bug happen to me

[acoustic osprey]

Do it then

[meager junco]

Oh it’s still in?

[hexed forge]

Yes

Only at C14

[meager junco]

Damn, guess I’m stopping my current inquisition playthrough

[meager junco]

Gotcha

[lethal moat]

Lore people flock to something mildly interesting every time it pops up lol

I am curious why those fences are different though, and how the heck they managed to find that one

[median hornet]

lets hope no more shadows

[elder notch]

Im trying and its only that fence the other ones on the sides doesnt work

[lethal moat]

Mhm

[median hornet]

(engineer joke)

[patent ginkgo]

im genuinely thinking of learning how to model some things to make plant assets

[lethal moat]

Oh yeah, you’re on vacation lol

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[grim jacinth]

I would at least like what type of steel the humans use in fences or how tall they are, that would help me make a calculation that I asked my friend to do later

[valid geyser]

Modelling is fun but weird

It seems to go, hard, easy, hard, then easy after a long while of practice.
(And loop!)

[patent ginkgo]

hooray...

although, i wouldnt likely be modeling many proper 3d stuff

cause, foliage

[valid geyser]

I believe in you

maybe

[patent ginkgo]

[lethal moat]

Go for it Jolly, could be fun

[hexed forge]

mhm

[hexed forge]

Weird bug that no one can find an explanation to

[valid geyser]

Modelling can be very fun, the hard parts are usually learning something new.

Start off, get confused with everything that exists, realise you don’t need most of it initially, learn the basics and then it’s learning new more niche things that become difficult

[hexed forge]

Ima test the fence bug with a herrera to see if its for all species

[valid geyser]

Climb it then break it, see what happens.

[hexed forge]

Works for all dinos

[hexed forge]

Im spinning

[valid geyser]

Beautiful.

[elder notch]

pachy cant, stego can. Its the two that i tried

I think its for damage on the fence

[hexed forge]

I just did it with pachy

[elder notch]

ye?, how?

[hexed forge]

I bit the fence

[elder notch]

maybe I hit the wrong fence

[hexed forge]

Every bite from any dino at any growth can destroy it, weird bug.

[valid geyser]

Just a very weak fence

[hexed forge]

Ah yes

[hexed forge]

Quetz cant break it!

[valid geyser]

WUH

i was expecting a whole story

[hexed forge]

@acoustic osprey Helped write it too

I was looking back at some rex clips from a dev stream and came across the Ben conversation.

Ben will just get shoved into a tank

[fast forge]

that's where he belongs

noooo ben deserves to roam

Lets say hypothetically, Neuro does have a weakness and that weakness is that it needs to stay wet or it shrivels and dies

Would increased temperature as a result of climate change both make that issue worse?

[valid geyser]

I mean..
Would that depend on where in the world it is?
I say this without fully comprehending what you’re saying, but does the area cause more rain, more humidity, less humidity, less rain? Etc etc.
Temperature is never alone

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[acoustic osprey]

I can imagine it all being for evrima being moved to main

[hexed forge]

Well how would it change tho

[acoustic osprey]

Likely because it's years old and likely won't reflect the new ui

And also I imagine steam Page being updated
Why not the discord as well

[lethal moat]

Spinning AE hologram could be neat

[hexed forge]

Yes but, how would it change!

How would the pfp change, will it be a completely new skull? A background color change, etc?

[hexed forge]

That would be nice

[acoustic osprey]

The contents of it could change

Especially the caduceus

The idea rump gave is also pretty good

[hexed forge]

I see
