Now, getting to me believing gen 1 aren’t supposed to be long term, they’re weapons, but also living things, so you don’t want them reproducing on their own and you don’t want them living very long because then they can get out and do all sorts of nasty things, so, since gen 1 exist in case something happens to AE, when they’re not being used as weapons like that one instance we know of, maybe they’re just not produced until they’re needed, or they’re held in stasis/hibernation in abandoned (or active) facilities until a sufficient threat has been realized that the complex needs to be cleansed

#

Tldr, I think Gen 1 exist as terror weapons outside of facilities and as indiscriminate sentries within

who are we talking about

Bot sniped him for something dumb and he's still not unmuted after he contacted an admin apparently lol

#

Also maybe they were not meant to be used or released at all on gateway, but they went loose after the island got abandoned ?

lethal moat
#

I just don’t see their purpose on gateway

strange shell
#

They don't have one
They were just, like, stashed away for future use

#

But then they somehow got out after the humans were gone (I don't imagine that in a well-organized company, a few loose specimens can cause an entire facility to go abandoned like that, so it had to happen after AE was gone)

The main context from my orginial post

#

Getting the isle in the phillipines

hexed forge
#

I honestly feel like 'Isla' wouldn't correlate to the region of the Island since it's most likely just something Dondi was 'inspired' by from JP

But thats just what I think

the isle's core basis is JP inspired

Guys I have big newes, I think the isle is fake dinosars, becas there is humans and normaly dinosars dont live wit humans so they maked dinosars?

Yea, the animals were created by Apollo Engineering

basically dino dna, synthesize eggs = revived species

what makes a thing fake though, i suppose

The matrix fake?

acoustic osprey

Matrix dinosaurs would make for a weird fun concept

i love the dino dna instead of just 3d printed fleshmobs

#

add more realism as who knows what tech we dont know of irl too

for me, i would've liked the idea of AI making thing like how AIs do

gaunt dawn
#

Isle lore theories

acoustic osprey
#

although, maybe it would make multiple limbs or whatever by mistake early on

#

however, it seems to be way less likely the case now
seeing as Dino DNA may actually be used

#

maybe they still use some sort of AI-aspect of creation?
especially in the level of actual sci-fi / clarkes third law-level AI creation

#

but definitely way less likely then
"The AI sees, learns and understands. Then it synthesises from (practically) nothing"

tranquil flume
acoustic osprey
#

yeah, i don't doubt that something like that could have some errors
however, that is more plagued in reality then sci-fi

tranquil flume
#

I mean dna is like code

acoustic osprey
#

if we ever had anything like that, The Replicator's AI-aspect would be far more sentient then actual AI
so i could imagine it trying to fix such

tranquil flume
#

If you mess it up you get mutations and then typically cancer

tranquil flume
#

Ai creating a protein sequence not resulting in cancer but causes a mutation of some sort could hypothetically be possible

acoustic osprey
#

noting that he was a creature directly made by The Replicator / the machine

#

so 'it' (the replicator) must be missing or adding some things

#

whether on purpose or not? that is the question!

tranquil flume
#

I mean if you take JP they had to sort of guess dinosaur dna with modern animals

acoustic osprey
#

maybe, probably both

depends on the sentience of it i suppose

tranquil flume
#

Makes for a very rebirth situation but we can make it better haha

#

Imagine like dilos with pug syndrome haha

#

Wonder if the replicator would replicate patterns it sees in whatever obtainable dna there is

fast forge
#

I mean, if you don't have any ethics standards

#

Actually I suppose it depends when you choose to irradiate... whole live animals is pretty awful, but cells in a petri dish can neatly step around such restrictions

tranquil flume
#

But also cancer 😂

fast forge
#

indeed

tranquil flume
#

Like i know it exists in the fossils of dinosaurs, but we’re giving a lot of these dinos cancer 😂😂

fast forge
#

Well that's if you induce mutation with radiation

#

But they seem to be going at it more holistically, literally creating an ecosystem with which to farm mutations

#

Honestly the best way to do this is with something that reproduces very quickly

That's why geneticists often work with fruit flies - they breed fast, and their genome is one of the best-known on the planet

tranquil flume
#

Or regenerative properties. Or naked mole rat dna

#

Use whatever chromosomal/dna sequence they have that fights cancer

hi ben

You think that examining the skeletons of isle dinosaurs would let people realize that they aren’t real? Like a paleontologist gets ahold of a cera skeleton and he’s like what even is this

#

I can’t remember off the top of my head if the general public knows of what ae is doing with dinosaurs

#

They don’t even know they exist

#

They only know that ae is doing agriculture are gene editing

(the gif is a shrug btw)

#

I think it's hard to say what the general public knows, and it probably depends on the time period

I just think it would be funny if a paleontologist takes one look at the herrera climbing and starts freaking out

however, not called RS

we got the tiny bunker model
sadly, it ain't a proper bunker from the looks of it

but still described as a bunker by VisualTech

So uh, y'all think that new death screen was what Dondi was talking about? Kinda been thinking about this for a while. I figured someone else already pointed it out by now but just in case someone missed this

acoustic osprey
#

it was just shuffled around to be more easily read

#

which is a bit of a pain
basically the only thing that isn't being given an overhaul (death screen)

strong mango
#

Oh cool! Does anyone have any ideas on what he could mean?

#

If not, it would be a fun scavenger hunt lol

acoustic osprey
#

i am specifically talking about the 2nd image you sent, the death screen

#

i am curious myself, though, on what the little secret things are
if they are or are not in

#

if it is the death screen, that would be a very sad fumble. It being not even evrima lore

#

(do we count it as evrima lore now, though? Being as it IS and was from Legacy's original ui overhaul - just re-arranged)

strong mango
#

I dunno, "THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END" Seems pretty replicator esc to me. I guess I never paid attention back in legacy, too busy trying to respawn lol

Since we have nothing to talk about lets talk about the numbers that mean absolutely nothing!!!

acoustic osprey
acoustic osprey
#

i kinda wish it was a random or unique link system

I tried having a look if maybe there was a different set of numbers for each UI colour you pick

#

maybe see if there is a HEX code or some sort of numbered meaning behind it

#

kinda like in the last UI overhaul in legacy

#

but they're all the same, which is a bit of a bummer

#

at this moment though, i do believe the 'secret ui stuffs' isn't in yet
Unless it is hidden in the character menu or somewhere obsurce like settings

#

i have tried pressing everything i've seen

even trying to press the developer button TI_LUL

#

I doubt the secrets good are anything important tbh

acoustic osprey

as in trying every method i could

i was kinda guessing it could be related to the extras button

potentially being able to unlock it or something

acoustic osprey

acoustic osprey
#

on stream, i was curious about WHY "Seven"
-# in regards to Archive (7)

#

WhiteFalcon made a really neat observation (making me realise i should probably read up before i start yapping on stream lol)
however
it is quite interesting, whether on purpose or not, that Archive 7 may be another greek mythology reference without me even realising

#

i brought this up on stream because I was a bit curious on why seven in general
and why not 12? 12 being, of course, a lot more upfront with being "greco-related" in terms of myth.
... it's pretty obvious what 12 means - the 12 Olympians (of course, there are technically some more. But still!)

#

however, 7 seems to have importance! Especially in regards to AE
- as brought up why WhiteFalcon

#

that importance being 7 is regardly with Apollo quite importantly, especially in local ancient greek culture

here are some examples:

  • in Plut. Sympos. 8., Apollo's date of birth was believed to have been the seventh of the month.
  • Another would be the seventh of every month sacrifices were offered to him (hebdomagetês, Aeschyl. Sept. 802; comp. Callim. Hymn. in Del. 250, &c.)
  • his festivals usually fell on the seventh of a month.
  • he was regarded, by some, as the heptamênaios (i.e. seventh month child)
  • the Hebdomagetês title, as said in the 2nd point, can also be connected to another ritual with the fact that at the festivals of Apollo, the procession was led by seven boys and seven maidens (Aeschyl. Sept. 804; Herod. vi. 57; Lobeck, Aglaoph. p. 434)
    - apparently this was in a Apollon Cult in sicyonia (southern greece)
    - seven boys and seven maidens were sent as suppliants to the river Sythas
#

this likely guaranteed not the reason why AE would've chosen Archive 7 as the name
it is, though in my opinion, probably why Dondi chose this number for Lore

I.e. it being the most regarded with the actual mythology APOLLO (...ae...)

I still believe there could be 11 other archives (making 12)
but i doubt we'd ever see or hear about them much, or at all.

acoustic osprey

in terms of the skin creator

but it is nice

#

it's definitely using some of the actual computer ambience from the base main menu ambience mix
but just the machine boops and beeps

#

which is nice

seems to also only play a single SFX (or a few, roughly)
and does not loop

#

so cannot be morse - likely being more cool then useful for us
however, it is neat. I do like the addition

acoustic osprey
#

but when you access a server, you don't get to hear that noise. Of course

#

oh, i am also seeing if changing UI colour might do anything different

so far, red and blue do the same
so i will assume the rest are as well. (But i will, of course, try anyways.... lol)

acoustic osprey
#

from TheCerato

#

i don't know if we can infer / assume 'still ongoing' (as that gives off the idea that this operation may have been a regular thing for AE)

But, like, I can imagine AE wanting to pick up as many assets as they can

#

although, honestly, the actual 'meaning' (if there is any lore to be gathered from this)
can be one of thousands many different ideas / outcomes

#

like i can imagine AE wanting to bring back as many assets
but like - we don't know what actually has happened to AE and/or Gateway

do AE have the power to do anything to this or any other island? OR anything in general?
can AE actually bring back dinos?

#

maybe... maybe?

#

we DO know that Gen2s observe and survey, even potentially apply tracking chips
(of course, these aren't confirmed to the HIGHEST degree. But they're the highest 'degree' confirmation we can have till they're in game)

  • noting that tracking chips is less confirmed, and may be just done by The Replicator itself/herself
#

which begs the question. Why?
We know Gen2s are part of AE ... however, could they have other affiliations for when the game takes place? Who knows

Are gen 2s EIPs

You go into a testing facility you sign a waiver, they copy? your consciousness and put it into a Gen2 and if you behave bad you get put into dinos lol

of course, i do not mean to assume that you're inferring no 'active' biotrace = no EIP

#

because EIPs could very easily be connected to something else

crystal cairn
#

another QR code here, are we ignoring these for now though?

acoustic osprey
#

however, if no active biotrace meant no active EIP
would that be alarming?

acoustic osprey
acoustic osprey
#

such as, for me, I may presume that no biotrace or EIP (or both) would mean a walking empty carcass

#

but it could just mean, quite literally, a literal 'normal' person

#

sadly, we just lack meaning in a lot of things

#

hopefully we get some more depth to these ideas — rather then a bunch of terms that do nothing but widen the ocean of terms

Most of the QR codes are nothing unless its on a custom asset I think, then theres a chance

yeah, basically all we've seen are random marketplace assets

placed by Visual or from the original creator of the models? who knows

#

probably not by Vis lol

hexed forge
#

yeah

but we know he touches up models — why not remove the QR codes?
probably because not important and working on more important things

There's other places as well that have seen things like this. Not dinosaurs in a cage, but other fun eggs.

I just imagined the taste of full fat milk hitting the back of my throat after thinking about eggs

i just wish this was easily dissected

either

  • we've done similar BEFOFE, but not with dinosaurs in cage
    OR
  • we CURRENTLY have things like this as well

#

There's a point where Dondi is so cryptic that I just give up assuming and ignore it completely

i wonder if it is referring to the old TCAM lore hunt

#

Seeing them fly over you in the forest which you've been going to for years for the first time is terrifying

acoustic osprey
#

quite so

olive burrow
acoustic osprey
#

of course, realistically, the biggest contender for this was the TCAM / Lore Hunt
which was neat

I just hope Don knows that we all loved that and want more of it
However, of course, just hoping that similar 'lore hunts' can be expanded upon and the reward being more made for us' (that being, lore peoples interested in lore)

#

just because that Lore Hunt was made for us - as you needed to know lore to really find out about it/know about it

#

however, the outcome/the actual reward for doing it was something that didn't benefit 'us' in the slightest

#

saying that though, it was the first of something of its kind - so a test/trial! Which is very understandable

#

ideally, i think all of us just hope that we actually get such lore in-game (Evrima) after its almost 5 year uptime /tenure

Ever since Don really got back to us in 2022 (that being, when Don resumed more lore stuff since pre-recode days)
It's always been very left or right (cryptic or 'straightforward' ||as straightforward as dondi can go lol||) without us actually ever getting proper lore in-game

Of course, we've gotten things here - both hard and soft lore (physical lore and statements from Dondi about lore)
But a lot of these things (basically the large majority of soft lore) have widened the ocean of lore
which is great
However, hasn't really deepened the pool - so to speak.
^this all being about things we've gotten, not the things we know Don has written. Only being just about what we've given

#

i know the response will always be, and which we do understand, getting the game out is the most important aspect of the game (of course and i do agree)
But it's not out of reach to say it can be very exhausting being here (being in the lore side of things, that is) with basically nothing coming our way.

lethal moat
acoustic osprey
#

I do believe the wound festered to a bit of a more painful state, especially before Don showed that INTRUDER lore video
This is because, just before that time, we had just gone through 1 and a half years of basically nothing (lore-wise).

Not pure radio silence!
But practically nothing of value was given at all.

acoustic osprey
#

back when Don was openly streaming new lore ideas a lot more rapidly and wildly

#

although! I don't mind not having as much being fed to us
Because you could argue that 2022 and 2023 saw a lot of verbal spoon-feeding lol

#

as i would agree, especially in the evrima context

#

i hope we get to a point in the next year or two that links up with Punch's message here in a more thorough manner

Basically honing in on the 'problem' with what I believe to be the current case with Isle lore at this moment:

"as wide as an ocean, as deep as a puddle"

#

-# this being not really a problem with the written lore ... more so how we've been getting lore these past few years. Both verbally by Don or physically in any way/medium

lethal moat
#

Well how long was the bary and the austro in without us knowing? The searches need to be better if we're going to do anything

acoustic osprey
#

apparently it was in and out
being in during some patches for Trike and Rex releases in HT

#

apparently could be other stuff in as well
but it is like that UI secrets comment

just quite unsure

acoustic osprey
#

https://youtu.be/S0x2llxEAjk
i wonder (of course depending on the sentience part) how self aware was The Replicator or the first EIP?

for EIPs, how foreign was this feeling? If "X" could feel, that is

I'd like you to meet E.L.B.E.R.R, the conscious and self-aware robot.

#

of course, this comes under the assumption of The Replicator's sentience
but i suppose the replicator would react far differently then to an EIP

#

an EIP, at least, would have some sort of phantom aspect going (assuming it only 'lives / exists on a conscious-level' when in a body)
something i'd imagine to having a phantom limb

#

i could not imagine being hindered like such
i imagine it could be worse then the feeling of missing a limb or limbs

#

but even then, i suppose they're both different feelings

#

having once a limb attached, the body having "X" amount of years to pertain muscle memory, etc
versus a clean slated body — the only thing remaining from before the mind

#

of course, the conscious mind IS very powerful
but we know that muscle memory is still a considerable factor — especially in regards to limbs

#

...
but maybe EIPs are clean slated as well
I would not be against the idea that AE started with non-wiped EIPs to begin with and very quickly realised how dumb this was.

#

however, how invasive is the idea of clean slating EIPs?
i suppose only really super invasive if the conscious mind is a single entity being passed from original body into EIP shell w/ new body

#

in contrast to having the original body + mind distinct from the EIP version

#

I hope we get some EIP lore in the future 🙏

Probably Dondi changing his mind to the purpose of that room

From servers, to the monitor PC's like in the harbour master

Like Acro has lips since it's a rework but for Rex they barely changed anything
Could be lore or could be poor design chose

But either way, WHY IS IT STILL IN THE GAME

several patches later

This is just annoying especially since the radio tower bug has been in since pre-Maia times… first appeared in a Don Stream where he acknowledged the bug and said it’ll be fixed.. thanks..

And then acknowledged it again when replying to my message..

which makes me think that the buildings aren't really priority, which is fair

Because it 'helped' that Cerato did the same when asking Don about the tower
as it was then supposedly fixed, alongside the Pits bridge/fence walls

As it clearly is an overworld building
