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
Why would Lore dox people 

Is that an actual thing lol?
Nu

how did that lore obsessed guy get muted
bot got him
What how
who are we talking about
Bot sniped him for something dumb and he's still not unmuted after he contacted an admin apparently lol
I kinda see this as a "jurassic park" thing
Like a "don't worry about these two Gen 1 that escaped, they can barely survive a few days in the wild"
cue to a full village of them in the middle of the jungle
Also maybe they were not meant to be used or released at all on gateway, but they went loose after the island got abandoned ?
I just don’t see their purpose on gateway
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)
how u describin em
like the cave cannis in the forest lo
Living Weapons, kept in stasis, brought out when needing to face a threat? oh hell yeah we got helldivers in the isle
Lightclaw still muted, lore has fallen, never getting that 12 hour deep dive 
roman emperor style assassination
movie name?
Mockingjay pt 2
ty
i wonder what made it illegal
Olympus Transmitter
or Twitter link in general lol
If I had to guess it was probably twitter
yeah same, just the twitter link in general
lets test that theory

did you accidentally copy a link that had one of those "discord friendly" embedders, some of the names are very not isle appropriate
Vombatidae
Diprotodontia
a mate of mine last year found a migration route of diprotodons in the southern part of western australia
it was insane
like a trackway?
nesting sites along the shoreline, i think
Could my father have left to get the milk in the isle? 😔
sending this here because i want any lorenerds to endure the pain
Renatus Map
i.e. RPG isle map
calls K15 as I12 
actually its L15
That looks sick
And what the heck is K17
Oh there’s lots of those
Well i suppose H4 is either fully gone or in the same boat as F5
Oh wait that map is FANMADE?
I either have slept through 10+ bases being added over the entire map or all those extra bases do not exist
That's what I meant
Yes
I believe most are guts entrances but named
Someone
I'm here, I'm here
Almost two months late but eh
The main context from my orginial post
Getting the isle in the phillipines
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
Anything new
I'm new here
is this what the map looks like now it the ht
Yes
😂
Are you sure
wait she actually is newer than me, which is weird I always thought she'd have been in here forever
i believe that might be because tiny typically talks in here more
a
I mean I talked in here a bunch too but I've been busy the last year
i know, you have messaged in lore theories before tiny!
but i know tiny is more active here then you, definitely because of your busy-ing
which i believe gives the illusion of being here longer
oh talking abt lore theories specifically, yeah more of a isle discussion guy
quite so
Isle discussion is a wasteland too dangerous to be touched 
Do we know if thiers any lore significiance to dilo venome, same way that herra climbing is? or is it just gameplay thing
We've heard nothing relating to dilo venom
what about troodon venom
megalania venom is gonna be the deadliest
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
The humans are fake too
what makes a thing fake though, i suppose
The matrix fake?
we recently got a new lore video which technically might bring up the idea that AE actually uses Dino DNA
which is interesting news, different from what i expected
but yes
Dino DNA
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
brute force, again and again, trial and error
Does "Non-authentic" sound better
what make thing look like thing
what make thing act like thing
yay
jp wasnt authentic but look in jp3 the generations of dinos on sorna started imo to exhibit prior traits
Multiple limbs/fingers?? In a weird distorted mess??
Isle lore theories
not llms and our generative ai 
more like what video game programmers use (alongside other programmers) akin to reinforcement learning AI
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"
I meeean code can still miss a couple of digits and end up making something wonkyyyy
yeah, i don't doubt that something like that could have some errors
however, that is more plagued in reality then sci-fi
I mean dna is like code
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
If you mess it up you get mutations and then typically cancer
quite so
Ai creating a protein sequence not resulting in cancer but causes a mutation of some sort could hypothetically be possible
if anything, its what we see with AUGUSTUS being able to climb (behaviourally)
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!
I mean if you take JP they had to sort of guess dinosaur dna with modern animals
maybe, probably both
depends on the sentience of it i suppose
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
Just give it a short burst of radiation
Boom, EZ randomized mutations
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
But also cancer 😂
indeed
Like i know it exists in the fossils of dinosaurs, but we’re giving a lot of these dinos cancer 😂😂
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
Or regenerative properties. Or naked mole rat dna
Use whatever chromosomal/dna sequence they have that fights cancer
megalania mentioned
megalania peak.
Yeah, it likely doesn't actually mean anything. But we have so little to work with that I'm taking it anyways
(what i mean is that we know from Don that things from the replicator / SYNTHs seem to always have little anomalous things like AUGUSTUS getting climbing)
<@&933486433342222376> its another one
They synth eggs with Dino dna resurrecting the species so I’d see why mutations happen life is constantly mutating
why did this gif actually help me understand it better
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
Hello good sir
I can’t remember off the top of my head if the general public knows of what ae is doing with dinosaurs
No they don’t
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
People can also be misled easilly and do believe conspiracy theories regardless of how stupid it is. I can only imagine the hubub that happened in this setting lol
The avarage joe probably doesnt suspecy much
Honestly we have no clue. We know very little about the outside world in this universe
Yes i know ;-;
I'm of the opinion that AE was creating artificial ecosystems as a method of habitat remediation, and they were probably marketing these advances to the world at large
We know evil anti ae organisations exist
By “evil” i mean evil in ae-s eyes they might be the good guys
Agreed
I imagine their public perception was somewhere between Monsanto and Colossal Biosciences
@acoustic osprey Are you aware that RSI12 changed?
“yeah here’s our eco system booster injection, your countries are gonna love it”
the tree climbing 175kg drop kicking lizard:
Yes he knows
could also be for plantary based collinisation, imagin making life that can easly evolve to new hostile habbitats and releasing it on a planet to terraform its enviroment to your liking
yes
however, not called RS
as that just means regional spawn
but yes, I12 / GW_I12 (?) changed! which was great
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
what we know, including tiny's photos, that Don said "show 90%, hide 10%"
specifically this
Well, plenty is public facing.
Show 90% and the other 10% is easy to hide.
Especially when you recruit the way they do.
Why do I remember it being called RSI12 then
that is what it was called in the regional spawn panel
but even in the game files, just I12
?
Wasn't it just called Jungle I-Sector?
no, that was right next to it
humans had the RSI12 spawn
I see
top ten don quotes
Don either says unnecessary bs thats funny or straight facts
No
thanks cerato
this has been the worst week in isle lore theories since around 2021 😔
I offer this strange frog to make you feel better
why
even then... Spain has been over half the globe, America, Africa, Philippines
Dondi, neuro info in devblog please dondi 🙏
we got the reaper, hopefully we will get more strain concept art before long
This
❓
wake up someone else just logged into the Olympus transmitter
huh?
Just…no…
whats wrong buddy
Stealing gif
A comedic joke
ah. i've fallen for the classic blunder.
It is ok
Hi
Go character screen and check your growth, then sit, sleep and press entomb
Guys meet my wife of 682 days
sir that is a hatchling

dondi made the isle
Some Gateway things. Stuff.
nice!
i can't check it out
but presuming I12 changes maybe?
hi
yay
Does anyone know what are the dino stats and growh adjustment?
no, but wrong chat
think the gateway stuff is just the new buildings in highlands
those already existed last patch
unless they have been made to look nicer this patch, which i would not be surprised
unless you mean IN Highlands
and not the place right next to it
i typed in chat asking where the stuff is an i got tp'd there
so idk
think there is a new building there
huh?
someone teleported me to the new buildings in highlands
aye, however there were new buildings in last patch at I12
i don't think you know where I12 is though
admin aboose or hacker
ah yeah, I12
seems to look the same as last patch
that shouldn't happen, so either hacker or admin abuse
i'll have a look at my stream i did from that patch
but i believe it is a no
thanks
they be in now apparently
its hella buggy
Gateway things??
maybe changes to i12 or maybe k15 getting new stuff
because only i12 got changes last patch
nice! full proper look now
Buildins
getting the full picture of "X" building is good
that would be good
i wonder if that means there are secrets in there atm
or will be soon
Bleh
thanks cerato
No worries
this is the most unhinged thing i‘ve seen you post 😨
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
very old sorry
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)
Oh cool! Does anyone have any ideas on what he could mean?
If not, it would be a fun scavenger hunt lol
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)
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
(a reference to Stanley Parable)
||technically a different rip lol||
OH HOW DID I NOT GET THAT? 
Thanks man, why I came here to double check. I'mma keep my eyes peeled now! 
hidden in plain sight
i didn't even realise till a few years back (knowing that this has been a thing for quite a while. But still. HAD to be pointed out to me lol)
lol
good luck
lol
Oh I thought this was isle discussion
Anyways I need austro to release asap
tsk tsk
doesn't seem like anything new in I12, at least
Since we have nothing to talk about lets talk about the numbers that mean absolutely nothing!!!
lol
its existed for almost a year now iirc
no idea
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 
I doubt the secrets good are anything important tbh
as in trying every method i could
what else could the secrets mean besides something the lore community might be interested in
i was kinda guessing it could be related to the extras button
potentially being able to unlock it or something
Im currently heading towards the Southwest Containment facilities, I'll tell you if I find something
yay
i've only been to I12 but failed badly with my ptera
wasn't able to find anything though
i did go into a room i didn't make it to from my last stream
oh hints have UI now
Maybe I should turn them back on in settings.. maybe the secret is there..
oh true, yes
Doesn't seem like theres anything in settings tho
probably not, but i can imagine these potential secrets to be on a spectrum from super obvious to super hidden
hints seem to be the same
even being the same font as well 😔
i really REALLY hope they do not keep the death screen
as 'neat' as it is. It's old and the assets do not fit particularly nice
UI Recolor update
yeah like when exploring a base a hint may show up, like
"Press E to open/read" etc
oh we have the bodycam effects back on replay
quite so
even has a moving forward bobbing head effect
if only replay cam didn't go the speed of light
lol
The GUTS at docks are partially open as well
i believe they have been the same, however, i do believe i shall have a look
If they lead into something like a road intersection then thats been there for awhile
It may have changed before the update
if its the same one under the radio tower, then it is the same i believe
Nah, different one
the website the qr code took me to, for reference xD
https://epeus.blogspot.com/2012/01/qr-codes-bad-idea-or-terrible-idea.html?m=1
lol
code from stream, code from that page 
Spent a solid 5 minutes trying to time this so I can get a screenshot.. thought we'd have some cool use of lore terms lmao
@acoustic osprey
Alright the UI outside of the server is old and 90's retro because it's the tech they use, but does the futuristic UI in game possibly imply the gameplay is set far from the 90's?
The color...uh...is not dark blue!
Also I think the devs straight up called it that once let me find it
My bad they called it sleek not futuristic
lol
Where is this in “I play the game and like the lore but idk the sections of the map when they use numbers” terms
annoying that there is neural ui in the main menu
Above North Lake
I see
neural ui ...
I want the ui to flash a warning on the screen calling me mean names whenever I fail a hunt
lol
That woukd be amazing and would also make me close the game
why
why not
i've got a lore theory
Shoot
allo got laser eye surgery before the patch
Oh?
If you click the ui color option fast enough u can get the globe to turn a different color then the text 😎
Neato
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.
^whole lot of yappin
Thanks
The numbers mason
Wonder if the rival companies know about strains and what their thoughts on them are
considering the response to nukes was to also make nukes i suspect there are similar variants in other places; which could imply "invasions" to the island and events humans and dinosaurs have to deal with
“Hey, we have this monster that melts your brain.”
Response:
“The worms breathe too loud now, and it frightens us”
yeeeep
Wonder what these are used for?
I believe they break up waves to combat soil erosion, but can also be used strategically to make it harder to pull a boat onshore
For gameplay I think they make it easier to drink in areas where deinos are present
ah makes sense now
any new structures? or addition to existing ones?
The most recent thing was I12 being changed up a bit.
Nothing crazy
oh and C14 seems to be gone
I use em to block Deino grabs
lol
^
hey eyesack, I got a question for you
how does your replay still work hasnt it been broken this entire ht?
no idea
they're from previous builds
so i cannot record
but i can see
but wouldnt that then make it pointless to look for map changes with it since it would record sessions from previous builds?
no, as it still shows everything updated and changed
as they don't save previous maps in each replay
yay
it's just very buggy, with reloading and seeing things
pressing play sometimes works, sometimes does not
it was pain lol
reinstalling the game seems to have deleted all my replays as well 
it also yoinked all my saved skins
new medical suite at I12
qr code as well on the top
although, came in the patch that came a week or two ago (the operation room / I12's redesign)
but still, it is cool
yeah lol
ah okay, couldnt check it out my games had buggy graphics so checking out locations didnt seem worth it
similar to that other qr code
i forgive you
Could you check whether C14 is really gone?
Me and Isaac couldn't find it in replay mode so we figured it got removed.. but just to make sure maybe it's there in the game...
still there
Morse code??
idk! I’m leaving it for lightclaw to figure out
apparently there is a sleeping bary somewhere at docks?
maybe there r other dinos. not sure how it relates to lore but maybe you guys can do something cool with it
how did the lore channel not find this!!
That’s pretty sick
thought so!
was at work sorry
oh i've heard these before
i think they were in the previous UI
but chopped up
this is cool though! I shall have a listen on isle now
(if only you wouldn't have to hear the painfully loud waterfall)
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
^this being only when you're in skin selection
YOU CAN hear it in the skin creator, but the waterfall is very loud over it
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)
Isaac just completely ignored the bary and Austro pictures
I hope they get removed or changed after HT.. instead of them sleeping maybe just put their bones/corpse in there… assuming they actually made the skeleton for them..
I didn't
Because frolo mentioned it in lorecord
I mean...
There could be lore to it
Not direct lore
But lore none the less
YOU JUST AGREED TO IT NOT BEING LOREEEE IN LORECORD

It’s world-building lore that doesn’t make sense because they would not be alive!!
Unless... check again
Dragged into lorecord to listen to a 4 minute VM
I'll explain though, in text here, once I am home
Enjoy it while it lasts!!
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
I thought I heard that in a previous update (since the new UI), but the waterfall sounds at the character selection screen just drowned it out
I don’t think Eips got to choose what they’re put into
Well actually, if the player is the eip, they might
I think it’s a teaser, not lore related
Well i would think thats for gameplay reasons.
I would think originally they were meant to be working for AE, then maybe became EIP-s, then Gen2s or instantly dinos depending on their contract/status
True, we don’t know if the thousand life contract is just one thing or how much variation there might be
I do think that all gen2s are EIPs because that's needed for actual tasks made for humans
I always liked the idea that Errant 291 was a Gen 2 body without an actual EIP, being puppeted by an external force
Like I thought it would be fun if the replicator was using it as a way to learn about the "external" world
Like a baby's first steps, but actually a monstrously powerful artificial intelligence
I feel like hes talking about the things in past tense
maybe, but what if..

alright who did this
ayo
Oh the clock is a different time
it is in more spots than this as well
Maybe
Why does every don quote have to be cryptic
Yay
Yeah
But better to be safe then sorry!
it is a cool idea
Of course, i wish we knew what biotrace was and does 😔
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
another QR code here, are we ignoring these for now though?
however, if no active biotrace meant no active EIP
would that be alarming?
we've tried with that one... 😔
✅
of course, this is taking in A LOT of assumptions with the importance of both biotrace and EIP
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
for fun surely. maybe one of the few things he gets joy out of on days when he's doing this:
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
yeah
but we know he touches up models — why not remove the QR codes?
probably because not important and working on more important things
Not necessarily
It was more that there kinda seemed to be something off about Errant. Felt more like an inhuman thing pretending to be human, than an actual human
But this is just vibes
acting like he's done nothing wrong for doing wacky and weird trips around the facility
291 face reveal when
291 did seem very cool, calm and collected though
did they not send out some people to do something, and some didn't return
yeah
the use of 'wandering' is a very interesting term used by the editor
which is also weird
Three search groups iirc
Only one returned..?
2/3 returned
I dont remember, we need an Errant analysis video @acoustic osprey
2 units returned
yay
however, both were marked redundant
Extremely injured I guess
or they failed and thus must be deconstructed as a unit
this is true
saw too much
lol
maybe
but
unless that part is a cover-up
and the editor is lying
You stopped your AUGUSTUS video because of the Rex video that will most likely not release until december
i stopped because i was busy with UNI!!!
I thought uni was over!!
uni is over now
get to work!!!
i started writing the AUGUSTUS script at the beginning of uni
i stopped after a few weeks because of Uni
then last month, INTRUDER came out
time has gone way too fast
this is true
Intruder has been out for a month?
yeah...
oh my god you're right
however
I would not be surprised — the editor could be higher up or could be paid for a higher up to hide any information
October 2nd
maybe.. maybe you're right.. october was a pretty good month..
it was neat
intruder video was good though
i am glad we've broken the literal 1 1/2 year no lore chain
this is true
oh yea forgot to mention uh
NO, BAD MEMORIES WERE MADE
why..
https://discordapp.com/channels/401464048610312193/855527844670865438/1434978018404601987
The fact that Dondi said that something similar was done for Rex and Trike makes me definitely think that theres no lore correlation
September is the canon event
october was peaceful
@acoustic osprey !!!!
those being done as in done/also put in during Rex and Trike HT times
but.. isn't this Rex HT... 
yes but when Rex came out
oh
I do wonder, which i know was brought up before
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
lol
There's a point where Dondi is so cryptic that I just give up assuming and ignore it completely
no
almost a year and a half now
oh
lore hunt basically marked the beginning of our no lore phase
yay
A genuine hint is nice sometimes 😞
Pretty sure he just likes messing with us
I mean, I would too 
no
I think it's just the jp3 lore ngl😭
I think the lore is literally experiments gone wrong and boom dinosaurs everywhere killing some pheasents
i am the jp3 lore
Dude no way it’s the real Nanotyrannus
Also lol the name auto capitalizes
Bird
I think it would be funny for a fish to converge 1-1 on the general catfish body plan just to confuse scientists
Like carcinization but for catfish
I remember coming across a pheasant in the wild as a kid, which was surprising since this was on the cusp of the City and it was sandwiched between a busy aerodrome and the suburbs. Now I hear them every other day where I live
Seeing them fly over you in the forest which you've been going to for years for the first time is terrifying
quite so
Well ideally we want players to be able to find out the lore while playing the game itself, which is why we're very cryptic about it.
once those things come... as they come
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.
No more being spoon fed I suppose
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.
we really haven't had a solid spoon feeding since 2018 and 2017 days, in my opinion
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
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
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
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.

#horror #creepy #...
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 🙏
I don’t really think that’s lore either way.
A lot of these secrets that have been going into the game aren’t exactly meant for the lore community. Similar to the first lore hunt
😔
The isle
look hopefully don saw how much we did enjoy it though!
the experience was great
100%
hopefully we'll see some sort of shift 'this' way in regards to lore in-game
to that idea point Punch refers to, with lore being found in-game
whether something big like a lore hunt
to just papers in-game
Maybe…
server room / computer room is now missing its computers
not sure how recent this was
but definitely not 'old'
mmmm concrete
i love how it is always changing
however, its building has seem some tiny changes
which is good, i do believe
i was curious to what Don said, with how some non-dino things 'could' be in
i think galli is just best in these scenarios
I wonder if this is another instance of them replacing marketplace assets with custom ones
I'd say so, but this room has always been filled with custom assets
Which is weird
Probably Dondi changing his mind to the purpose of that room
From servers, to the monitor PC's like in the harbour master
now nothing. So likely getting new assets?
Or that custom asset has been banished to the shadow realm in this version
(Most likely not but it happens )
Wdym
They're in the harbour master, the last ones in there
About this
Kissen brought it back up. I put it in. It was actually there for trike and t rex at certain times. There was no comment on it. There's other places as well that have seen things like this. Not dinosaurs in a cage, but other fun eggs.
The last part specifically
Loud or glitchy?
Also wrong channel
doesn't hurt to verify! 😔
i feel better knowing that i've seen EVERYTHING then believing that nothing has happened
I wonder why Extras is blacked out while credits is not
I mean yeah I wish I could play the game and check but I think the hordetest is slightly broken for that right now
That has been the case for awhile now tho..
i know
i am just curious on why this has been the case
especially with UI overhaul
it's been perfectly fine for me
have you met any AI
I dont want to spawn in --> run to x location --> die to starvation --> repeat
I want to actually play the game while looking for the secrets
i met a boar and was fine
this is why i said i am playing galli anyways...
because it is best for this kind of stuff
NO
yes
YOU DONT NEED TO TELL ME BECAUSE I LOST MY ALLO TO A BOAR YESTERDAY!! 
not like i need a boar as a galli anyways
oh
skrill issue to me pal !!
<@&933486433342222376>
get hit with the scam attack
yay
I wonder what the lore is behind some species having lips while others not 🧐???
probably gaps in DNA they've used
or by choice, by AE or the replicator
weird choices, but still. Potentially
hmmm possibly
Or just the devs not caring too hard on accuracy / consistency
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
We'll never really know
Definitely poor game design
Look at galli and then look at like the new austro they just sometimes get lazy with the designs
Like this would be SO GOOD
we're still missing the feathered galli
Wheats lipped rex is funny
It could be a bit more tuned up but it's still a amazing edit
Doubt we're ever gonna get it officially, most likely will leave it to the mods tbh
maybe
yall think were gonna get cosmetic mods on the client side only?
wrong channel
but maybe
actual proper certified mods will likely have to be server sided
but that depends on the server i suppose
New isle lore drop.... they dont want us to play the game that we pay for
guh!!
hi Daviid
who?
Daviid
Hi Lightclaw
hi!!!
c14 got a tiny update!
albeit, a bit bugged when i spawned in
got the operating room building that was in i12 as well
hm, 84
very insignificant and likely just marketplace, but still
84
but damn is c14 now a fair bit bigger now
Nah just say you aren’t good with lore, how can you forget the green grid on the floor it’s super important
sorry 😔
it happens, i think its the old age of being in this discord for quite some time now...
haha 
i get to play the 'this is my (officially) 2nd account' card finally
i have been here since the original deleted
(of course, active during late 2019 and especially into the beginning of 2020 before recode)
i got hacked in 2022 after i was tired at gym. That account, THE lightclaw, was banned and then deleted some time after
no but yes
back then it was something about free nitro for a week or something
Rookie mistake 
I’m kidding, I also just clicked one of those when I first made this account
i was tired after gym !! 😔
Alright I swear my phone is just typing random letters at this point to get my autocorrect to kill me
lol
hmm, just came back
it must just be bugged atm
thought it might've just been because i spawned there
man i should be streaming this for myself
because i heard a weird beeping sound that was a bit too quiet
wasn't sure it was a fake sound or the game making it when i entered a building
I wouldn’t be able to tell on account of my tinnitus
fair lol 😔
k15 has a nice little bridge that goes to its 'bunker'! looks nice
seems like all the outposts have a operation room as well now
Yay
no buggy floors thought in k15, which is good lol
and this underpass is still in, which is nice
of course, can't go into still
Did we get any updates on how GUTS is doing or is it still gone for some time
so far i've checked every outpost now
i think i might check The Atrium and Docks
but i doubt anything will be added
gonna guess no
i went to a few GUTS entrances as well and nothing changed
Yay
did you see my c14 post just above cerato
not only was it not removed, it was 'improved' 
don't we love replays
Says I ran out of high speed data, I’m gonna get hit with terrible service any second now
lol
What human structure did you not visit yet
has been given all the new buildings and any of the pre-existing buildings updates
besides a bunker, i believe
i just did the pits
so Atrium is left and docks
So nothing in the DTA at pits?
Ok
quite so, quite so
hi
The same damn bug that is happening to the radio towers and pits. At least pits was fixed I guess..
But either way, WHY IS IT STILL IN THE GAME
Dondi: “It’s fixed next patch”
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..
Thanks..
i think nanite is just not happy
Likely has something to do with how GUTS got screwed too sadly...
It’s.. the same bug.. that’s been in since docks was added.. 
And we saw it.. getting fixed.. with pits.. so why not.. tower.. 
if it relates to this then maybe
" It tanked performance due to how the Z culling was acting. "
but i do not know how these models could be doing such
^Don if you see this
currently this is like this
and the radio towers around the map
especially the big one at east docks
Higher poly count than the average landscape piece maybe
I mean its just the normal radio tower but 2x
Idk how poly counts work tho lol
What isle playables irl counterpart would wipe the floor with them
😔
I’m bored at work man, it’s inevitable
Alright here’s lore: did people lower on the AE ladder know about the man made horrors being created
Like for example: a janitor or some low level researcher
beipi, carno
tenonto
I agree

Isle Teno is a beast
If you’re based on the islands, I imagine it’s hard to not know, but maybe AE doesn’t just operate on the islands
Well what if you got a job with them hoping to make the world a better place with SCIENCCCEEE
Not knowing what really goes on down below with like the sketchy stuff with the replicator
I imagine AE is decent at keeping people under NDA
I think I got all of the different sounds in this file..
If anyone wants to see if it actually translates to anything, when i tried doing it nothing popped up but I aint no morse code expert.
Hold on maybe this is louder
lol
My quote is from vis
Well if these weren't player activated
They could have meaning
Wdym by player activated
Hovered my mouse over it
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
portal into the multi-verse of the isle
Which base?
you just missed your chance to get into the avengers endgame final fight
lol
I've had a lot of similar moments, and each time it's a different color and number, but it's shown pretty clearly here
number?
huh..
compy instant incineration
This
yes, hence player activated
yay so no meaning
pretty much
and most of the boops and beeps already exist
just in the general bedding of the main menu ambience
sooo no secrets in the UI I guess..
and problem is, my last building bug hasn't been fixed yet
which makes me think that the buildings aren't really priority, which is fair
although i say it out loud here (that reply that you replied to)
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
not yet, i suppose
even after the patch today sadly,
So i'm guessing they're either non-existent or buried deep in a future devbuild that isn't released yet
i mean, we got outpost updates which is good
sadly, this is just the problem with them releasing the UI overhaul in bits and pieces
rather than in one whole update — or having HT only stress test the final product.
no sorry we must have a HT go on for several months testing multiple features/dinos
just ain't a big fan
wish this was how Evrima branch was done and not a unhostable HT branch
I know, though, that peoples opinion on that is very 50/50
i still wish HT was still considered a ST (of course, an open beta then closed)
yay..
the radio tower was not fixed
I know
But it was fixed for don
Seeing as a bunch of pre existing buildings have been getting reworks
I would not be surprised if this is a rework of the admin building in East docks
Probably not...
But i do wonder where this'll be in
As it clearly is an overworld building
This is WAYYY bigger than that building in east docks tho...
But they could make room for it I guess
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's placed in highlands- I know its a bit of a random spot buttttt makes sense why they cleaned it up and made it so much bigger and flat..
It's a bit bigger
Not way bigger
This as well
I swear it's like MUCH wider
If anything
This
Although I think it is a tiny bit wider then what is removed
The red indicating what else this new building has, in terms of size
I wonder if we'll ever get those 'corporate slanted windows' like in the guts tunnel entrances
They see you from above
Just a neat little design they had going
I see
wtf is that flash
god
the replicator
the isle
lol
quite so
quite so quite so
indeed
i was gonna write more on my intruder video script earlier today
i think i'm still stuck between augustus and intruder
however, i feel like having the Intruder video would just:
"here are some problems (a good handful) that might be a bit weird / wrong and don't make sense and likely will need to change — so, therefore, does this mean that the rest of the things i am talking about invalid / dubious? Maybe! Who knows..."
unless i ignore the errors ! lol
https://youtu.be/nQHBAdShgYI?si=inZkn5hij7aMpfMB
this really gets me thinking about the conversations about last year about EIPs
Live long and prosper?

(poor errant-291 sitting in the corner...)
I mean you already did some of the AUGUSTUS script..
i did some of each / all lol
Just do AUGUSTUS some justice as the first real lore video 😔
Oh
no worries

But my argument that it’s bot really you does still apply, so it’s about how much empathy you have for your own clones
I had a dream where I sent a joke link and people thought it was sus so they banned me
What does that say about me as a person
probably that you're an isle player
hahah
my fence prediction was sort of right, it isn't really a fence but definitely works as a "barrier" for the animals
Ignore the left side of the image
yay
yay
<@&933486433342222376>
i want to be as delusional and insane with isle lore as GTA6ers are with looking at the phase of the moon in their photos to dictate when the next gta6 trailer will be
i think i am almost there, but not there enough lol
NOOO
I don't like how "preferred food" section is made
To be honest
I like how it is compacted
Indeed
This would be the most peak thing ever
Behind Rex, Spino, Giga, and Camara of course
Better than the current one at least
I like the current one
beautiful, but didnt you make this? I thought you were the person behind Apollo Terminal considering the changelog is FULL of you
No haha
This is from someone on general feedback
oh

that is rad and also horrifying
