Then therefore normal giga and spino would be in survival by then?

open compass Jan 22, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

We know giga is, but not necessarily

dull falcon Jan 22, 2018, 8:38 PM

#

i have a feeling that you don’t use a dinosaur to become a hypo, or any strain. you probably play as a human and do all these steps n stuff in the buildings to “transfer the consciousness” into the hypo. when you die and it says all that replicating stuff it also says “consciousness transferred” or something along the lines of that. i think in order to transfer your consciousness you have to be able to use technology and at least read..... a dino can’t read... or type...

#

so it won’t matter if spino or giga is in survival yet or not

icy onyx Jan 22, 2018, 11:24 PM

I agree

The theme of revivication, multi concioussess etc are repeating themes in the game, however subtle.

Make sense if the devs made becoming a hyper and canibal hard to get, however I do believe the canibals will be a tad easier due to their properties

#

compared to tier 4 dinos, they wouldn't be too op, except to humans

#

But as Dondi stated, in the hands of a good player it's a beast, in the hands of a shit player, it's trash

#

Unless it's changed, it's possible you'd have to kill another animal from the other 2 strains in order to become the Hyperendocrines

I was listing the the OST for the isle and came to the conclusion based on the names of two song that the isle's lore is based on something more super natual and less science fictional. Names like "Thousand Life Contract" and "Acts of God" could be taken metaphoric for science gone wrong, but I recal Dondi saying on stream that he believes in some supernatural things (his previous house being haunted) and I believe he is a horror fan. For a survial, dinosaur themed game to have some supernatural things happen in the lore shouldn't be that shocking but I don't think anybody has done it before.

orchid nimbus Jan 26, 2018, 12:59 PM

Maybe this is true for the being reborn thing, but the rest makes more sense with sci-fi

shy basin Jan 26, 2018, 1:01 PM

I have a feeling that the hypos are thought as gods or something of that power to the tribals like how King Kong is to the tribals, that may be the reason for the giant hypo head in the mountain, it may have been carved by the tribals

I'm thinking babe something alongs the lines of human emotions. Like the idea that was thrown around that dinosaurs that eat their won kind become albino. Maybe dinosaurs that eat canibals or humans that performed taboo rituals will cause them to change into monsters. This is the same idea with ghosts and supernatual stuff. That somebody dies and because they are so pissed and/or delt injustice that they come to haunt the place or individuals until they are happy with the results. It sounds silly and selfish but it plays into our emotions. Maybe it's similar to "Out Last" and "Evil Within" where they combine science fiction and supernatual elements. I think it would be too standard if it just anoter science gone wrong story and the names of the music so far suggest the possiblity. "Thousand Life Contract" might be the music for the canibal mother, who did some ritual and made a deal with a devil/god figure. You have to ask Why are the Tibals and Canibals a thing, and why are they so closely tied together (tribals are supose to turn into canibals or something of the sort). If it was just a purely science fiction story that means somebody with alot of money is probably turning tribals into canibals otherwise.

Wasn't the cannibal mother a human injected with the tisso strain? Maybe she turns tribals into cannibals or they mutate the same way she did maybe by coming in contact with the blood of a killed tisso creature

Getting rather close there to topic derail friendo' 😉

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

So the Hypos have either escaped or been released, along with the Magna.

#

The whole correlation between the Hypos and Magnas points to the possibility that the Magna is meant to hunt the Hypos.

#

The only problem I see with this possibility is that the Magna only has a chance of defeating a Hypo, and could easily be overpowered by the larger animal.

#

But I don't see what another of the Magna could be.

#

Unless each Magna animal is meant to counter a specific Strain

#

Which would make sense with the M. Raptor's ability to sense heat, thus lessening the impact of the Tisso's camo and stealth abilities

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

If it was meant to counter a specific strain, then that strain would probably be the Hypos. There would be no reason to release that photo of the Magna defeating the Hypo if that were not the case. But I get where you're coming from.

#

If the hypos were in fact 'released' who released them, and why?

#

@open compass

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

@umbral tusk No way to know for sure. Could be a variety of reasons. The one that comes to mind would be testing the Magnatyrannus in a living environment.

#

Or they escaped

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:18 AM

#

Also, Dondi stated that we haven't figured out what the reason for the creation of Magnatyrannus was anyways, so instead of jumping into the why's and how's, what do we know?

#

Pick it apart piece by piece

#

The name Magnatyrannus means

#

Magna = "great"

#

Tyrannus or Tyrannos in Greek "monarch, ruler of a polis"

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

The only thing I see wrong with the countering Hypos theory is the question " Why create an animal that is smaller and physically weaker to hunt a huge animal?"

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

Solus means unaccompanied or alone

#

So... Great Monarch, ruler of a polis, who is alone.

#

So there's only one of him

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

Being the sole ruler would logically include destroying any competition

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

Exactly

#

So the key state of mind for Magna is "destroy those who are competition?"

#

That would explain why the Magna wants to go after the Hypos.

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

Which would be large apexes and hypos

#

Also probably other strains

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Maybe the people that made the Hypos don't want them to become insanely powerful so they created the Magna to balance it out. It's stronger than normal apexes, but it still has a chance to kill those a tier above.

#

I know it's silly and this should be taken with a grain of rice but could there be a chance that the Magna is herding the Hypos?

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

Wdym

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:26 AM

#

Like

#

Okay so we've seen the Hypo giga in random servers right?

#

And who comes right after looking for the giga?

#

The Magna.

#

The Hypos 'escaped' and the Magna wants to get them back into containment?

#

Idk.

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

Why would the Hypos not attempt to kill the Magna, then?

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

Maybe there's something wrong with it, that makes them unable to kill it.

#

I believe we were onto something but now I feel we're going off again lol.

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:29 AM

#

Maybe, once the Magna is dead, it is simply replicated again and therefore cannot be killed permanently

#

And the Hypos have learned this

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:29 AM

#

That would explain the replication

#

That keeps popping up

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

That's what happens when every dinosaur respawns

#

It is replicated

#

So under this idea, the Magna would have gathered previous lifetimes worth of knowledge on the hunting/herding of hypos, making it less reliant on it's power deficit

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:33 AM

#

And while the Hypos are the powerhouses, the Magna is the smarter one? That would explain the name, it knows how to keep them in line. It is the Great Monarch who rules alone.

#

So while it is logical that the Hypos are fucking terrifying, maybe we should be more scared of the Magna because it's smarter.

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:34 AM

#

Wouldn't say smarter, probably wiser is the better term

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:34 AM

#

Yes.

#

We've been focusing so much on the Hypos, we've been forgetting the Magna. The answer is literally in its name lol.

open compass Jan 30, 2018, 2:36 AM

#

So the whole, "Assimilate the Magna Tyrannus" is "Kill a hypo as a predator" ?

#

Maybe specifically a rex?

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:43 AM

#

Quote "The strain is AE's attempt to create the perfect specimen." I don't think AE was trying to make it's goal in life to kill the Hypos, but maybe literally the only reason the Magna is here is to keep the Hypos in line.

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

The introduction to the Magna, if we're looking at the nitty gritty of things, someone must have taken those pictures, so maybe this was AE's way of testing to see if the Magna was able to take on the Hypo?

#

Considering that killing Hypos is the main grabbing point of the Magna, I have no clue as to what it's purpose would be outside of that

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 3:03 AM

#

Well, if it was meant to kill them, then AE would have made it stronger.

#

Than them

#

I've always had a hunch that the strains (without the dinosaurs) were a natural occurence themselves

#

and that either A. Dinosaurs that escaped got mutated B. They used the strains to experiment on things or C. Both

#

And Magna strains are a 100% man-made strain / enhanced version of a dinosaur

#

But I'm most likely completely wrong

#

If A is true, then I think it would make some sense to assume that Magnas were created to hunt down and kill rogue dinosaurs with strains

#

I don't really know how asking the console questions works but I would really like to know what the magna strain and / or the magna rex really are and what their purpose is

vital tree Jan 30, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

If the magna was created to hunt down strains, would that make it the “good guy”? And when the tweet was posted-“Magnatyrannus Solus activated, there will be no survivors” it isn’t referring to humans as survivors, it’s referring to the escaped strains as being the ones who won’t survive. There’s a pretty good chance that the Magna Rex is man made and released on purpose since it says “activated” and not “escaped”

umbral tusk Jan 30, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

^ It's so funny because this theory was something I made up and I didn't really think anything of it, but now that we're actually thinking about it, it does make a lot of sense. But no, I don't think it would make the Magna a good guy because this is still a predator we're talking about. Remember, it's name means Monarch of a Polis who rules alone, so I think it literally just wants to wipe out any competition. However, this goes against the Magnaraptor because if it was alone, then what's the point of the Raptor?

viscid saddle Jan 30, 2018, 3:42 PM

#

The Magna-saurs may just be a different series of genetic manipulation experiments than the strains, assuming that is what the strains are

#

They look less like abominations of science and more like hybridized animals, with Magnaraptor having some pit viper/monitor lizard qualities and Magnatyrannus having crocodilian scutes

Remember, Allfather was the replication of the magna right before it killed the Hypo. This suggests that it was created after the hypo already existed. This kinda serves as evidence for the “magna was created to kill hypo” theory. Not sure if i fully believe it tho, just putting this out there.

It's not a theory, and it doesn't belong here. Take it to the appropriate channel

tiny carbon Feb 2, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

Hey, I have a theory relating to Dondi's discord thing saying OLYMPUS now. What if, those 4 numbers after his name are a code for something. I know he doesn't get to chose them (I don't think), but that doesn't mean he can't use them.

#

choose*

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

No I don't think that's even anything worth to be looked at tbh.

#

It's just your discord ID.

tiny carbon Feb 2, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tacit plank Feb 2, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

Nitro me boy

tiny carbon Feb 2, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

And Phoebus is Apollo's first name if you're looking for some 7 letter code. could try that.

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 12:07 AM

#

Olympus is also a 7 letter code. Even if it was, honestly, where would you put the code? ;n;

tiny carbon Feb 2, 2018, 12:07 AM

#

Dunno, but frankly anything is good at this point XD

#

Maybe try the game's chat.

#

You know the button typing sound

#

Could be related.

#

I don't know if you can access it when you die, but maybe right before you do?

#

Or even the ` console

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 12:14 AM

tiny carbon Feb 2, 2018, 12:14 AM

#

This is true.

grizzled dune Feb 2, 2018, 12:14 AM

#

Dondi doesn't have nitro on his current account.

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 12:14 AM

#

the 4 digits are plausible

grizzled dune Feb 2, 2018, 12:14 AM

#

He did on his previous one,but not the current one.

tiny carbon Feb 2, 2018, 12:16 AM

#

This also appears to be true because I don't see the nitro symbol on his profile. Though I'm not sure if they could hide that or not anyways. Don't know enough about discord nitro tbh

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 12:21 AM

#

Found some more code for the death screen.

#

But I need help decoding this one line. Anyone mind?

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 12:38 AM

#

What's the line

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 12:39 AM

#

Gonna send it to you

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

Guys that death screen... it's a narrative.

#

So someone accesses the mainframe in the beginning right? Check it out on the doc. And at the end, the system responds by sending a "Counter Measure", likely something to stop the logging in from continuing. It activates Thermal Vision to track the Counter Measure and the Person trying to log in. The guy accessing the mainframe terminal thinks it's a transmitter and he's asking if "anyone is there" and "HELP ME!" So that leads DEdinosaur and I to believe that this guy is trapped or in trouble.

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 1:57 AM

#

Safe to assume the "counter measure" is an living thing? Hence the thermal vision needed to track it*

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

not super safe, thermal vision could be to track the person trying to login

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 1:59 AM

#

We have no idea what kinda technology we're working with here so it could be some sort of security thing or it very well may be a living thing.

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

I'd assume advanced technology considering Apollo's accomplishments in genetic engineering

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

Yeah, also to clarify, it's unclear where the log begins and ends, as it always loops

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

It could be both an organic subject as well as a security measure

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

It most likely begins at Apollo Mainframe Login

#

If this is what it's telling us, then it changes a lot of what we already know tbh

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

A sort of deployable predator used in situations such as this

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

Also maddie, the words after "ERROR - Unable to establish connection to" is "Harvest Base"

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

Bless ur soul

#

I'll fix that rn

#

Done. And if so, what in the fuck is a harvest base

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:04 AM

#

Also the word before "code" is "clearance"

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

Where are all the theorists? This may be a game breaking theory 😂🤔

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

So, "THE END IS NEVER" isn't the person inputting stuff, as it doesn't have the ">" before it

#

It's the computer

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

Kinda far fetched but maybe the reason it's on the death screen is because the dude died and, since transfer of consciousness and replication is a reoccurring theme, maybe he was made into something else?

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

Is it possible to access the console anymore?

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

The "security measure" itself may have been the cause of his or her death.

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

Maybe it actually starts at "Signal Source Locked"

#

Leading to the Counter Measure causing the terror, and ending with "THE END IS NEVER"

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

Just to clarify, all this info (including all that about deploying a security measure and all that) was taken from death screens?

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

No because it repeats itself. I deleted the repetition. It starts with Thermal imaging engaged.

#

You know how on the bottom left there's quick text on the death screen?

#

That's it. That's what it says. Everything on the doc, so yes

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

Starts with Thermal imaging?

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

Yes

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

So somone tried fucking with (what I'd assume to be) a central replication system, same one responsible for replicating all deceased inhabitants of the isle

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

Yes, it seems so.

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

and these are perhaps black box logs?

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

Yes

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

or simply just stored data

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

Black box most likely

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

I would assume it's the same thing referred to as the "Replicator" in the Console Stream

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

From how it picks up e v e r y t h i n g

#

This is crazy tbh

#

We need someone (cough a dev cough) to verify this

#

Not that they would but I can dream

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:19 AM

#

Yeah, that's like, the least likely thing to happen

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

But yeah, maybe this is how everything started.

#

Maybe it's a survivor of Phoenix or whatever or whoever that's trapped and trying to escape. He's obviously trying to communicate

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

I don't think anything survived Inferno honestly

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

would be kinda fucked if the inhabitants of the people and animals on the isle where pheonix members being forcibly replicated

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

Omg

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

trapped in a sort of limbo of neverending death

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

Wouldn't that make us the phoenix members?

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

I do think we just discovered some part of the lore

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

Not sure

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

However small or big.

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

no direct evidence regarding if any of the mentioned individuals are apart of pheonix

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

Because, why else would they show that to us?

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

Because it shows that the mainframe can be accessed?

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

that it's a physical thing

#

that can be interaced with

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

Hm

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

but we still have no idea how old this information is

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

And that it doesn't particularly like people near it?

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

so there's no real way to tell if it can still be accessed or if that person fucked us all over

#

by engaging that "security breach"

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:27 AM

#

Maybe that's what triggered the "Breach." tweet?

#

And contact with Olympus?

with the word "breach"

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:34 AM

#

All of it, with the units and everything. They sent in units to HELP

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:35 AM

#

At first when the death screen sent in a security mesure that needed thermal imagery to track,

#

I thought it meant like a tisso animal

#

but looking at this

#

It may have been military units

#

@umbral tusk The picture of the merc came with the tagline of "you have no idea what's coming for you"

#

so I'm not so sure they where there to help, but prevent that breach

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:36 AM

#

I am here y did u tag frend

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

Maybe someone, like an actual player, accessed the terminal without realizing, and triggered human implementation?

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

I'm doubting that the footage on that tweet is the thermal image

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

Because, following this train of thought, the mercs are there to stop the Breach on the Isle

#

Oh yeah, no

#

not thermal

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:39 AM

#

It's security footage, not thermal sorry

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:39 AM

#

But the: AE-001 gif shows the same location

#

The location is important for some reason

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:40 AM

#

So to recap any progress we've made

#

We found all that death screen stuff

#

a sort of log detailing someone trying to break into (what we now assume to be) the central replication system (considering it shows on the death screen)

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

We think it's a black box record

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

or some kind of important software

#

prompting security measures to be taken, cameras to be activated

#

etc. etc.

#

It's possible that this is linked to a tweet dondi made back in january regarding a "breach"

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

Security possibly meaning introduction of mercs

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

^

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

And maybe our access to AE-001?

#

As a map?

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:45 AM

#

which would explain why the picture of the merc released in that tweet had the tag, "You have no idea what's coming for you."

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:45 AM

#

Maybe that 1000 retweet thing was that thing we just discovered

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:46 AM

#

the whole "Reclamation of Site 12. Code: OLYMPUS" accompanying the helicopter could very well mean that these mercs where here to not only elimate that person accessing the system (reclaiming the area?), but obviously explains how they got there

#

it's a bit too early in human development to be sure but a possible theory is that these aren't the playable mercs

#

rather isle security that prevent these kinds of breaches

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:47 AM

#

They must have shitty security for a person to get into the mainframe

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

(why we aren't playing as their character models now)

#

then agian, still too early in human dev to tell

open compass Feb 2, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

Who said it was a person?

umbral tusk Feb 2, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

Says it in the doc

#

one sec

tacit finch Feb 2, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

The gif we recovered a while ago called AE-001 showed this site

#

so does this tweet's camera footage

You guys are talking about the stone structure from the region 2 map, right? That's 100% an aqueduct, there's even water coming off of it.

Pretty sure the aqueduct was removed.

warped coral Feb 3, 2018, 2:08 AM

no, its about the picture

the black and white one

someone posted the aquaduct picture to compare to the black and white monorail one

viscid saddle Feb 3, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

Oh you're right, looking back I see it now.

#

Yeah the black and white picture has to be part of some type of transit system.

warped coral Feb 3, 2018, 2:10 AM

#

this theory isnt even really a theory either- humans have monorails. Neat. It makes sense to transport people from compound to compound or facilities or whatever quickly and will make neat landmarks and setpeices (thinking of you JP trespassor) buti'm not sure what the original point of mentioning it again was?

viscid saddle Feb 3, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

Could relate to what people were doing on the island.

#

If it's a large transit system, it means that large quantities of people or supplies were being moved from point to point.

open compass Feb 3, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

If you scroll up, you can see that we were trying to figure what the structure was, and why it was important enough to appear on both the security image from the tweets and the AE-001 gif

open compass Feb 3, 2018, 3:11 AM

I thought so, but don't now

You guys are repeating the same photo over again, which is pointless to compare it to multiple things. You dont have enough information at this given time to tell waht it form the looks of it.

Since this game is heavily inspired by JP, My personally opinion its a trail rail.

icy onyx Feb 7, 2018, 4:56 PM

my theory is that they got ahold of alien technology that can change an organisim into hypo/tisso/neuro strains

vital tree Feb 7, 2018, 4:59 PM

It would make sense for the strains or even the cannibals to be caused by some sort of extra terrestrial virus.

Because all the other doctors we know of have been named after real people/devs

@viscid saddle I think the circle was drawn to show that the structure connects to the ground

viscid saddle Feb 8, 2018, 11:14 PM

Hmm

tacit finch Feb 8, 2018, 11:14 PM

the textures bleed together at least

viscid saddle Feb 8, 2018, 11:14 PM

It looks like it tapers off behind what could be a hip

tacit finch Feb 8, 2018, 11:15 PM

#

I'm not sure

viscid saddle Feb 8, 2018, 11:15 PM

#

Assuming that the darker part of the object, the part that's still in the circle, is a hip

tacit finch Feb 8, 2018, 11:15 PM

#

It looks as though it's extending from the ground, the texture sort of blends together

#

and what I thought to be a vein earlier, could just be the ground texture stretching over the incline

dense orbit Feb 8, 2018, 11:16 PM

#

glowing spino cannot do camo with bright lights on the highest part of his back. hopefully he can sort of "toggle" or dim the lights whilst hunting

tacit finch Feb 8, 2018, 11:16 PM

if you look at the texture of the sail itself, I'm not seeing any scales

#

but then again, neuros may just not have any

dense orbit Feb 8, 2018, 11:17 PM

that could be something else that isn't even a spino

tacit finch Feb 8, 2018, 11:22 PM

#

to be fair, we're still theorizing on what it could be :p

#

and tbh I'm starting to think it may not be a spino

#

the trail of glowing bits (not the ones on what I thought where the top of the spino's vertebrae, but the lower ones) have a downward curve

open compass Feb 8, 2018, 11:25 PM

How could you possibly think it's not the Neuro Spinosaurus

proven fog Feb 8, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

its a spino ffs smh

tacit finch Feb 8, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

on the spino, the smaller gooey bits on the body itself follow a pretty linear path

#

then why is it connecting to the ground?

viscid saddle Feb 8, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

Well keep in mind that the concept art is concept art, so it might not match up perfectly

open compass Feb 8, 2018, 11:27 PM

It's not connected to the ground at all...

the ground texture is bleeding into that of what we belive to be the spino

#

What, you mean the fact that the hip in front of the hill?

viscid saddle Feb 8, 2018, 11:37 PM

#

I actually propose something different about that texture. I think that's a leg, there's a darkish line that could match up with the outline of a thigh or hip. Keep in mind the image is manipulated, so the colors and lighting are not true to life

open compass Feb 8, 2018, 11:38 PM

civic ice Feb 9, 2018, 1:20 AM

I remember seeing some art a long while back I think with the Neuro-Spino that had some scientist(s) working it. Perhaps one of them could be Dr. Whyse? Would make sense if he/she had atleast seen or studied it

That was fan-art from tapwing, dont know if thats canon/can be considered to support an actual theory

Well it's design was taken/inspired from Tapwing's. Could potentially

#

So, magnas were created by a reason

#

What was it?

#

We still don't know, supposely some poeple believe its for killing the hypos.

#

The only reason I can came up with is that magnas were created to control the hypo situation

#

Yep, I'm with @icy onyx

#

Besides, what else could it be?

#

Well, there is flaw in that. In my opinion

#

Hypos were much bigger than a magna and had bigger bite force. So its hard to believe they were specificly meant to kill Hypos.

#

Actually they are, dondi said that the magna Rex was meant to kill the hypo rex

#

Though there was one that killed a Hypo, which was either really lucky or its much more powerful that I believe.

#

So I assumed magnas were created to at least establish a control with the hypos

#

Probably, to hunt down any escaped ones.

It's just what I assumed

#

Then what do they do?

misty zealot Feb 10, 2018, 2:55 AM

#

Since ever the first mention of strains, way back when due to a Concept art by Vega, people have had some grasp at what they do.

Hyperendocrine Size increase recorded, coupled with armor plating and other species-specific tools but apparent hunger increase.

Tissoplastic Minimal data record: Spikey, enhanced speed and tracking capabilities, possible size decrease.

Neurotenic Little Record, and little size modification, known for higher intelligence, mentioned inter-species communication, "EMP"
Very soft body, described by Don as like a "Jellyfish"

📎 tyrannosauroid_strains_by_rodrigo_vega-d86ba81.png

#

Among other... tasty stuff

#

Not hard data, but was one of the first data recorded from way back when, subject to change, tho minimal.

pulsar knot Feb 10, 2018, 2:59 AM

#

We've also since been told the Tissoplastic strain is getting reworked/redone so I would source that as reliable infomation, at least for tisso strain

royal pilot Feb 10, 2018, 5:18 AM

#

are there gonna be baby or juvie hypos?

tacit plank Feb 10, 2018, 5:25 AM

#

No strain will be able to re produce

icy onyx Feb 10, 2018, 6:31 AM

#

Which is how it should be to keep the population in check.

#

among other things.

icy onyx Feb 10, 2018, 10:31 AM

#

Tribals are native to the island, as are the three strain bosses, Colossus/Reaper/Echidna.
When the scientists come to the island and clone the dinosaurs they end up mutating into the strains.
Man then creates Magnas to combat all strains:
Manga Rex:

able to combat the larger dinosaur strain variations like Hypo/Neuro/Tisso Rex, Giga and Spino, he has slightly less armour than Hypo but is more agile due to his size and is more of a 'jack of all trades' in comparison with the strains making him able to hunt all of them.
Magna Raptor:
able to combat the smaller dinosaur strain variations like Hypo/Neuro/Tisso Hypo and Carno (some speculatory) in packs or alone.

tiny carbon Feb 10, 2018, 6:21 PM

#

The magna raptor is supposed to be fairly big in comparison to the old Utah size if I remember correctly, so I would say it's safe to assume it could hunt down a normal carno by size alone, and thanks to its abilities, as long as the player was skilled, a hypo one

icy onyx Feb 10, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

@misty zealot Oh so that means:

Hypos have increased force with armor but hunger goes faster

Tissos have increased speed, tracking capacities and has a dragon-like appearance

Neuro have more intelligence with apparently psychic powers and have a jelly-like soft body

Right?

royal pilot Feb 10, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

so basically hyper colossus is a hypo cannibal, the tisso reaper, tisso cannibal... but what about the neuro, echidna?

hearty mulch Feb 10, 2018, 9:08 PM

#

They're all 'just' people who've had the strain material inserted into them.

icy onyx Feb 10, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

The Neuro Echidna is the mother of all Cannibals

#

She was probably was the first strain creature of all, and created the Cannibals

tiny carbon Feb 10, 2018, 10:42 PM

#

There's got to be more to that theory Mutton, because from what I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), but the dinosaurs are going to need human's help to turn into a strain, so if all it takes is getting the strain material inserted, then why would people bother putting them into dinosaurs? Why weaponize animals when you can weaponize man? If the dinos were just preliminary tests, the theory still fails because the dinosaurs more than likely cost quite a bit to make. It would be a waste of money to test them on the dinosaurs without testing them on other, more abundant animals first

stark yoke Feb 10, 2018, 11:35 PM

#

Human help is almost certainly NOT required to become a strain. This is not a game centered around cooperating with the other factions. Even if you look at the "taming" system for tribals, it is clearly geared towards both sides of the relationship fearing each others inevitable betrayal.

#

Therefore, having any sort of human help in order to become some of the most powerful player creatures in the game makes absolutely no sense.

cinder grove Feb 11, 2018, 1:15 AM

Why waste money on testing dinosaurs and not other animals? "An extinct animal brought back to life has no rights. It exists because we made it. We patented it. We own it." -Peter Ludlow

hearty mulch Feb 11, 2018, 1:17 AM

#

Because these ain't real dinosaurs. That and if you read up on the lore pinned to the channel, you'll find that there be bigger tests going on than just dinosaurs.

#

When we did weaponize humans

Shit went ultra wrong

Like Echidna breaking out and presumably the Colussus as well

Apparently the only things that didn't go ultra AWOL to the point of never being attempted again were the Reapers.

It cooould, but you’d kind of need to think of a reason as to why it’d have traits like that or what function they’d serve.

pulsar knot Feb 12, 2018, 8:58 PM

#

Im just hoping tisso stays the sort of perfect hunter type of strain, hypo seems to be about being big and buff, neuro is seemingly more about outsmarting others/fucking over humanity in general, hopefully tisso is still about being small and agile and being amazing at hunting things down

nimble cape Feb 12, 2018, 9:36 PM

#

I wonder if the strains or one of the strains have to do with parasites

#

Just a random thought

icy onyx Feb 12, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

Well imagine one of the traits is over-enlarged forearms for quadrupedal movement, like a feline almost; this would serve the purpose of distributing weight more evenly and thus allowing for more stealthy movement in addition to having a lower profile whilst increasing speed. @cosmic python

hearty mulch Feb 24, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

Probably will at some point, or at least a replication/child of it

#

What even is the matriarch?

muted steppe Feb 24, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

Not much info on the big fella.

#

I think the original idea was that i'd be a very difficult creature to play as you grow from the size of a compy to larger than a pue

i belive the isle is like a dome to were the dinosaurs dont have the chance of escape but there made for a miltary purpouse and the humans are trying to find a cave to an hidden bunker holding gold and the last surviors of a recruit team to estract dinosaurs off the island

#

probably morse code

grizzled dune Feb 26, 2018, 7:16 PM

#

Not sure if it was there before,but there's a now a timer on the left corner,below the island logo.

#

Jamestown,Saint Helena (Africa) and Tórshavn,Faroe Islands (Europe) are two isolated islands located on the timezone that reflects the number on the timer

Question everyone I am new here but what are thoughts on the 1 9 9 5, what do you think it means because i do have a few guesses or if you sovled it already sorry for bothering

grizzled dune Feb 26, 2018, 11:07 PM

#

It's not solved yet.
Some think it's a year,location,code,etc.
But nothing is confirmed to be right or accurate.

fringe lichen Feb 27, 2018, 9:07 AM

#

My guess is 1995 as in the year

half sinew Feb 27, 2018, 4:47 PM

#

It's after 2014

icy onyx Feb 27, 2018, 11:46 PM

Guys

#

The matriarch

#

Is actually a strain

icy onyx Feb 28, 2018, 12:19 AM

#

It could make sense, since it was mentioned as "Type-M"

grizzled dune Feb 28, 2018, 12:19 AM

#

Type M could be referring to Magnas.

normal vine Feb 28, 2018, 12:19 AM

#

I thought Type-M was Magna

#

^^

icy onyx Feb 28, 2018, 12:20 AM

#

Well, the matriarch was mentioned, but as what?

hearty mulch Feb 28, 2018, 12:20 AM

#

Matriarch is her own dealy

#

Though I'm just gonna guess her title will pass on to her kids and her replicants. If she has replicants.

icy onyx Feb 28, 2018, 12:21 AM

#

But then, what strain does the matriarch has?

#

Neuro?

hearty mulch Feb 28, 2018, 12:21 AM

#

Nobody knows

#

Cept Dondi

icy onyx Feb 28, 2018, 12:22 AM

#

That why I say that the matriarch could be a possible strain

#

I even saw a fanart of a "matriarch Raptor" although is fanart so idk

hearty mulch Feb 28, 2018, 12:25 AM

#

For now, matriarch is her own deal

icy onyx Feb 28, 2018, 2:05 AM

#

Type - M Is Manga most likely, we won't know until we are sure.

#

Type -H, Type - N are mostly Like Hypo and Neuro too.

rustic shell Feb 28, 2018, 2:20 PM

#

Type-H is obviously hypo...higher bone density, massive muscle growth

Reminder not to troll in this channel.

#

tacit plank Mar 1, 2018, 6:29 AM
