and tank

#

isla mesa 001 and

#

the test level

#

that had big ramp

muted hill
#

on the OG maps? i didnt play then but yes ive seen them

#

i think those were place holders at least the tank was

sleek temple
#

yea

#

but

#

i hope they are driveable

#

but it sugges

#

the army was brought in

muted hill
#

i mean whose to say that the mercs are not something to do with the military

#

or just privately owned AE special forces incase something bad like a break out was to happen

sleek temple
#

and assuming because of strains (not magna it doesnt have a strain to it o3o) are breaking out and they need these bois to recapture them

muted hill
#

long story short it suggests one time or more AE or whoever needed some heavy back up for somehting

#

if u have a look through the pinned document about the loading screens

#

it seems strain substences or also treated differently

sleek temple
#

Electromagnetic
Fluctuation Detected
In Sector 4

#

well

#

neuro

muted hill
#

the about neuro stuff bassicaly says terminate anyone or anything that came into contact with it possibly suggesting its contagious

sleek temple
#

sector 4 contains a neuro

#

the problem is it doesnt say increase

muted hill
#

which leads on why they would be created but thats a convo for later down the line i reckon

sleek temple
#

fluctuation can mean its going up or dow

#

purging data buffers

#

wait

#

cortex corruption level

#

isnt the cortex part of ur brain

#

or spine

muted hill
#

lemme search

#

In anatomy and zoology, the cortex (Latin for bark, rind, shell or husk) is the outermost (or superficial) layer of an organ.

#

found that

sleek temple
#

ok

muted hill
#

it does show one around the brain

sleek temple
#

well

#

it confirms it

muted hill
#

Organs with well-defined cortical layers include kidneys, adrenal glands, ovaries, the thymus, and portions of the brain, including the cerebral cortex

sleek temple
#

Udapting island manifest

#

applying ultraviolet protection

#

basically applying a fuck ton of ozone around the island

#

suggesting earth is in a pandemic

muted hill
#

or protecting earth from something on the island?

sleek temple
#

well

#

if its only applyed around the island

#

cuz

#

sun gives out ultraviolent radiation

#

and ozone protects u from it

#

and ozone is made from merging hydrogen with oxygen

#

i think

#

may be nitrogen and oxygen

muted hill
#

imo its interesting how this is coming into play after a gateway containment failiure

#

implying because of whatever escaped protection of that level was require

#

d

sleek temple
#

well nat

#

look at this

muted hill
#

i will

sleek temple
#

-ALL ISLAND VISITORS MUST WEAR ID TAGS AT ALL G... TRACKING ERROR, PLEASE ALERT AE SYSADMIN. CRANIAL ABNORMALITY DETECTED IN SEQUENCE DESIGNATE AE-BLS-037, RE-SEQUENCING... WELCOME TO THE ISLE.SYSTEM READY. WELCOME TO THE ISLE.WE SUCCEED WHERE NATURE FAILS.DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END- LOCKDOWN PROTOCOL IN EFFECT. CHECKING ALL SYSTEMS.

#

all island vistors

muted hill
#

oh ye i saw that

sleek temple
#

so its really for a tourist thing that fails

#

"welcome to the isle

muted hill
#

i assumed it had something to do with a tourist attraction or visit

sleek temple
#

"we succed where nature fails"

muted hill
#

the ae bls 037 references the allosaur

sleek temple
#

i get death is only the beginning

#

nature fails to keep things alive forever

muted hill
#

i think it was a reference to the model that no one really liked

sleek temple
#

while ae have made it so u can die as anything and come back to life

muted hill
#

thats the job of the repilcator

#

it brings us back to life

sleek temple
#

crainal

#

is crainal not part of the brain

muted hill
#

somehow we are all linked to the replicator

#

crainial is the head/skull i think

sleek temple
#

so

#

could it be so

#

this is a long shot

#

but

#

magnas have a weird head

muted hill
#

CRANIAL ABNORMALITY DETECTED IN SEQUENCE DESIGNATE AE-BLS-037 is a reference to this allo model i believe or so i read

sleek temple
#

yea

#

i wonder

#

could it become a magna allo?

muted hill
#

i think its just a reference put in for fun or some other reasone

#

well that model was used for base allo and it wasnt recieved well

sleek temple
#

i liked it

muted hill
#

but i could see a magna allo

sleek temple
#

if they worked with it

#

it could be magna allo

muted hill
#

it isnt stated what magnas are limited to seeing how strains are apex only

sleek temple
#

carno strain

#

o3o

muted hill
#

carno is an apex

sleek temple
#

well

#

true

#

utah?

muted hill
#

ye

#

they were top of their planned progression tree

#

it makes them an apex

sleek temple
#

ah true

muted hill
#

but magnas

#

are something else

sleek temple
#

magnas are special

#

they have no strain to them

muted hill
#

a fictional new species

sleek temple
#

no strain

coarse hare
#

This is old allo

sleek temple
#

a strain is a thing that is a problem for the dino

#

like hypo rexes food fettish

muted hill
#

"we succeed where nature fails" so we made a new species called the magna?

sleek temple
#

magna is perfect to be fair

#

it doesnt have any problems

muted hill
#

could it just be an attempt at a perfect life form?

sleek temple
#

well

#

what about the matriach

muted hill
#

oh man

sleek temple
#

isnt it perfect

muted hill
#

been a while since i heard that name

sleek temple
#

fused with every other dinos dna

#

a tiny lil ptera

muted hill
#

is that confirmed

#

are yas going off of tapwings fan art

sleek temple
#

well

#

going off her art

muted hill
#

like the idea was for to start tiny and then grow huge

#

so it couldnt be a far shot

sleek temple
#

but matriach is a confirmed creature

#

i feel like its the "extinction event"

#

which basically kills everything including the H colossus

muted hill
#

how does it earn the title the matriarch though unless the name has unknowingly changed

sleek temple
#

i remeber in some of the lore messages it was mentioned

muted hill
#

it could be that it takes all forms and is so the mother of all

sleek temple
#

but then theres the weird Manga rises up and takes the throne thing

#

does the magna kill the matriach?

muted hill
#

i mean this is far shot

#

but

#

what if our skeleton in the lake

#

is a magna collosus?

#

or something of that nature

sleek temple
#

well what does Type H colossus orginate from

muted hill
#

my theory for that is

#

if the reaper is a human with tisso tissue

#

and echidna was either a human or a tribal and became the neurotentic mastermind

#

then H collosus in a human the Type H tissue

#

and for some reaosn just damn surpersizes

sleek temple
#

it supersizing is odd

#

btw

#

.LEADING UP TO THE COMPOUND ITSELF. UPON REACHING THE STRUCTURE, SPECIMEN (7 LETTERS) BEGAN PACING. WE EXPECTED THE SAME TYPE OF RAGE ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM ANY AGGRESSIVE ANIMAL, BUT IT WAS SUBDUED,FOCUSED, AND CALCULATED. SHE WAS THE MATRIARCH, AND NO ONE WAS TAKING HER OFFSPRING. NOT HERE. NOT NOW. NOT EVER.”

#

well we know its a she atleast

#

also

#

wth are these clearnce levels

#

also

#

theres a hotel

#

oh so

#

v2 is connected to the neuro strain

#

Site I-04 is v2

#

AE - 001 is

muted hill
#

v2 is region 2? im guessing

sleek temple
#

yea

muted hill
#

im pretty sure Dondi hates that map so i couldnt see him making it cannon in lore

sleek temple
#

region 2 is site 1-04 where the electromagnetic flucation happened

#

i have proof thouh

muted hill
#

unless its a just a nod to the past of development

sleek temple
#

obersvation records

#

they take palce in side I-04

#

and its thenyaw

#

i mean

#

region 2

#

oof

#

WIND VELOCITY: NORMAL
WATER SALINITY: NORMAL
PRECIPITATION: NORMAL
SEISMIC ACTIVITY: PROBLEM

#

now thats odd

#

earthquakes

#

tf kinda of strains is causing earthquakes

muted hill
#

could be a holding facility underneath the island and something is just throwing a tantrum

#

and isnt there supposed to be a volcano on the island

#

might be a quake caused by it

sleek temple
#

mabye thats why they evacuated

#

SITE:AE-012
SAT. LINK: VERIFIED

muted hill
#

but never re opened after?

sleek temple
#

ae 012

muted hill
#

i reckon that gunna be the new name of v3

sleek temple
#

could it be v3

#

well

#

the link is verified

#

so it must be

#

cuz if not we couldnt play on it

muted hill
#

wait

#

hol up

#

uk u said about it being closed to the volcano

sleek temple
#

yea

#

it said it was compromised

muted hill
#

am i miss reading this or?

sleek temple
#

site -04

#

has to be it for the 2 letters there

muted hill
#

ohhh

#

i get what you mean

sleek temple
#

geological intergrity

#

what does that mean

muted hill
#

i think

#

thats the lore way of saying "we got rid of the map now we go here"

#

sort of making old maps cannon

sleek temple
#

all viable bio assests and personall are to be isolated at site1 letter until geological intergirty of 5 let is confirmed

#

what map has 1 letter to its name

#

isla mesa 001 is the only one i can think of

#

and it did have bases stationed around the map on it

#

im going to try

#

to think of what each of the strains were made for

#

ill include magna aswell for this

#

hypo rex was made for the soul purpose of mass extinction and then dieing

#

a restart button

#

and also

#

a test of survival

muted hill
#

test of survival makes more sense than a restart button imo but its still interesting

sleek temple
#

well

#

neuro

#

able to talk with others

#

able to control the weather

#

a choice

muted hill
#

or its the ultimate being for a certain niche eg hypo rex crushing,hypo giga bleeding

sleek temple
#

u can team up with other species and control the weather

#

or u can choose

#

to trick them

#

make their noises

#

lure them to u

#

and control the weather in ways ur pack mates need or ur enemys dont want

muted hill
#

why would they wont to control the weather is always what ive been curious of like do they thrive in certain condictions

sleek temple
#

control it to get away from stuff

#

make it rain to escape from hypos

muted hill
#

considering neuro is the weakest

sleek temple
#

make it sunny to hunt better

muted hill
#

that make sense

sleek temple
#

neuro is made for the purpose of tactical use

#

tissos

#

tissoplastic

#

the odd one of the bunch

#

though

#

before i continue

#

i want to say what i think the limiting factors of neuro and tisso are

#

neuros water need is prob rlly high like hypos food need

#

and tisso has stamina regen trash

muted hill
#

isnt it confirmed or just theorized neuros are essentially built like a jellyfish

#

really thin skin etc

sleek temple
#

yea

#

a rex against a neuro spino that doenst use its abilitys

#

rex should beat it

#

now im thinking of a neuro spino causing tornados and then accidently going into one and dieing

muted hill
#

this is probs stupid as its not weather but could some form of neuro have caused the unusual seismic activity or am i looking to far into this

sleek temple
#

possible

muted hill
#

i volcano is more likely

sleek temple
#

i was thinking that

muted hill
#

but theres so little to go on

#

that there alot of possibilities

sleek temple
#

tisso i think was made for the soul purpose of sneaking

#

its speed

#

its size

#

its ability to map out terrain

#

its probably more like neuro

#

except u dont have a choice

#

i think its also leaning on the tactical edge

#

now magna

#

the one with no abnormailitys

#

no traits of being modified

#

im thinking forced evolution

#

the way the isles dinos grow up quickly

#

i think if normal adult dinos come in contact with any strain and survive it

muted hill
#

ive always wanted to know if the growth times are cannon

sleek temple
#

they should be able to evolve into magnas overtime

#

i think magna was accidently made tbh

#

though the type m aquatic kinda retcons all of this

muted hill
#

theres a magnaraptor and magnatyrannus and i think more to come

sleek temple
#

yea

#

magnatyrannus is the only one modelled

#

but that type m aquatic is part of the lore

#

so im assuming forced evolution

muted hill
#

its like why creature strains,"normal" dinosaurus than a fictional species that right in between

sleek temple
#

well

#

strains

#

have a strain on them

#

as hypos strain is needing to keep eating

#

high metabilsm

muted hill
#

ive never thought of it that way

sleek temple
#

it gains on all areas

muted hill
#

calling them strains because there a strain on their existence

sleek temple
#

yea

#

thats how i think of it

#

neuros strain im guessing is water

#

and tissos is stamina

muted hill
#

or just being smaller than there original animal makes them weak

#

i think they were meant to be smaller anyway

sleek temple
#

yea

#

but magnas

#

have nothing wrong with them

#

they faster

#

have more stam

#

bigger

#

do more dmg

muted hill
#

i think we need more lore on them aswell to have a true answer but they seem like the ultimate life form

#

AE "we succeed were nature fails"

#

they live up to this by creating magnas the ultimate beings in different forms

sleek temple
#

it could relate to forced evolution

muted hill
#

e.g rex and raptor

sleek temple
#

u know the way affinity is coming

#

what if u get max affinity and then get forced to evolve into a magna?

muted hill
#

possibly but it depends how hard it is to gain good affinity

sleek temple
#

i hope its really hard

#

magnas are really balanced dinos

#

magna rex is like allo speed and slower than utah with ambush

dull osprey
#

how do you know that ?

sleek temple
#

i do speed calculations

#

i was watching a maia get chased by a magna

muted hill
#

i mean theres also the theory i think that the magnas are the dinosaurs from primal carnage or just very similar,you would have to ask the peple who have looked into lore more than me for a diffinitive asnwer

sleek temple
#

it used its ambush

#

it still couldnt catch the maia

#

it outstammed it in the end

#

well nat

#

i think primal carnage stole the magna rex

muted hill
#

when people theoriezed a possible new name for the etc i came up with the isle:carnage comes home

#

implying PC takes place before TI

#

i think carnage comes home was in a tweet or something too but im not to sure

sleek temple
#

well

#

i think

#

instead of them competing

#

what if they worked together

#

because there are relations to them

#

atriucm B

#

the place where marine reptiles are held

#

its on the map contingency

#

and contingnecy is the only map with the cool electricty that kills everything in the avieary area

muted hill
#

do you reckon is possible that its all a metaphor for don leaving PC? hear me out

#

AE and pheonix work together and bring back dinosaurs

sleek temple
#

phoenix corp is better at containing

muted hill
#

a disagreement comes into to the play and AE leaves to create something bigger

sleek temple
#

mabye AE wanted them to contain these strains

muted hill
#

perhaps we may find out during the story onces it all finished that maps on PC fore example the chasm i think its called or the atrium map are areas on the isle itself were pheonix tryed to contain the dinosaurs but failed? idk just had the thought pop into mind

sleek temple
#

well

#

contigency

#

was a map

#

that was an avieary

#

with human areas added to it

muted hill
#

ye thats the one

sleek temple
#

and there was this shutdown button

#

that killed anything in the avieary

#

sent out electo wave

muted hill
#

the restart button

sleek temple
#

yea

#

but

#

it dint kill anything in the human areas

#

and the doors shut down aswell

muted hill
#

back onto the magnas for a sec ive remebered something or so i think

#

when the magnatyrannus was revealed

#

someone is stream chat asked could a hypo magna exist and i thinkt he asnwer was a I dont know can it?

slow delta
#

oh god

sleek temple
#

it prob could tbh

slow delta
#

that would be insane if it did

muted hill
#

implying that the "perfect life form as we put it" can also become the imperfect life form

slow delta
#

but i assume not

sleek temple
#

well

slow delta
#

too much food

sleek temple
#

depends what the magna is

#

it cant be a strain

muted hill
#

idk theories a theory

slow delta
#

its a type

#

but nobody knows if types equal strains

sleek temple
#

well

#

as its not normal

#

ofc its gonna get a type to it

#

but the other 3 are abnormal in alot of more ways than magna

slow delta
#

since magna doesnt suffer from extreme hunger i'd say it's not a "strain" perse

#

since the organism isn't strained

sleek temple
#

magna doesnt suffer from anything

slow delta
#

its kinda weak i guess compared to strains

sleek temple
#

well

#

its only weak to hypos

#

which are rare

#

its basically the best creature next to hypos in combat

slow delta
#

we dont know enough of the other strains yet

sleek temple
#

and even then which strain was made first

#

ever since the isle came out

#

hypo rex was eating a car

muted hill
#

whats the point? or am i missing it

sleek temple
#

well

#

which strain came first

muted hill
#

oh right

#

just becuase we saw him first doesnt mean in lore it came first

#

but it would make sense i guess

#

saw him first he was made first

slow delta
#

if magna is a perfected hyper then hyper came first

sleek temple
#

i dont think magna is perfected hypo

slow delta
#

if magna is a pc dino then magna came first

sleek temple
#

it oesnt make sense

slow delta
#

i miss the console stream

sleek temple
#

losing size and speed

slow delta
#

yes but gaining survivability

sleek temple
#

doesnt make it perfect

#

also how do u lose mass

slow delta
#

it loses the pointless armor the hyper has

#

more compact build

#

smaller doesnt mean weaker

muted hill
#

could magnas be the failed yet successful first attempts at dino ressurection? they attempt rex for the first time doesnt go 100% and isnt a true tyrannosaurus but something greater

#

they try again and get the base dinosaurs then somehow move into strains

slow delta
#

its probably a hybrid

#

unlike the hyper rex the magna isnt a rex

#

its some sort of other tyrannosaur

muted hill
#

all i know is i would need more lore info before i could truly theorize on strains and magnas rn im just guessing

sleek temple
#

forced evoution

#

from how they grow so quickly the normal dinos

muted hill
#

but

sleek temple
#

forced evolution seems possible

muted hill
#

the tag forced evolution came with a tweet about hypo carnotaurus

#

but with how things changes that doesnt mean its directed at strains and was a misleading hint

slow delta
#

forced evolution seems like it would have bad side effects for the animal

#

hence the possible term strain

#

it strains the body

#

magna which means great seems more positive

sleek temple
#

depends

radiant tiger
#

Depends on what strain

sleek temple
#

what forced it to evolve

#

it doesnt have to be humans

#

exposed to something makes it adapt

copper berry
#

Isn’t the magnatyrannus supposed to be, “the perfect version of the hyperendocrine” I thought that the strains were either wild adaptations or imperfect experimentation

#

The magna was the perfected hyperendocrine

spare rivet
#

Magna is apparently something natural

#

The other strains are forced evolutions, or experiments. Hypo, Tisso, Neuro

copper berry
#

What is the point of the magna tho? It’s a smaller, more plain looking hypo Rex with better stats right

north epoch
#

To have a bottem of the food chain strain.

#

Not like it's weak, but theres gotta be some hierarchy.

hearty mulch
#

hyperendocrines and magnas both seem to be developed off of stolen material from phoenix

#

so whatever their plans were for them, we dunno

#

the assets stolen being those from Project Allfather and Project Thronebreaker

#

Allfather being B-442 & 3 (A certain rex skull and the first Primal Carnage Rex/Magnarex) and Thronebreaker being a hyperendocrine T-rex

neat steeple
#

The thing that always bothers me about magnatyrannus in the lore is how it was referred to as a failed attempt to make the perfect organism. What bothers me is why would they want to do this? Well, if I had the perfect life form, and I had the technology to inject my consciousness into other bodies, why not use it to put my consciousness into and become the perfect life form?
Sorry if this has been brought up before, I’m new to the theories page.

hearty mulch
#

it would seem it is no longer the main attempt at creating the perfect organism. The recycling of consciousness throughout a cycle of bodies seems to be the new attempt.

celest drum
#

Are we sure the goal isnt just weaponized dinos?

hearty mulch
#

such a goal wouldn't take the dinosaurs in the direction they're in

#

the best weaponized dinosaur is a gun with fast fast legs/wings

celest drum
#

A gun takes away from the game being cool tho lol

#

But if you look at the hypo and neuro genes

#

Those arent natural

#

I'm gonna use jurassic world as the example since this game took influence from it

#

The indoraptor obv isnt the best weaponized dino

#

But it is the start of it

regal locust
neat steeple
#

Strains feel more like tests to see what they could do. How big and strong can we make something before it isn’t sustainable, how smart can we make it, and other tests.

dusk axle
#

best weaponized dinos will probably be magnas, although maybe the dinosaurs are meant to work in real life situations as a team with specific tasks, Hypers are the brutes, they deal and take raw damage of the enemy, the neurotonics are the brains of sorts, they friy electronics and control some other ones, and cause probably sickening damage or some sort of radiation and cell dissruption, tissos would be infiltrators as well as flankers, while magnas fullfill a jack of all trades sort of role, lets not forguet this creatures have souls that alow them to learn to perfection their purpuse, plus the programing input from the replicatror. at least imo

celest drum
#

Facts. It makes sense imo. Have an island where dined roam about, let them reproduce or whatever, collect data via cameras and create new strains to see how they compare by putting them on the island

vague glen
#

I thought Magnas were meant to be a less 'extreme' version of hypos, more sustainable? Stronger, faster and tougher than their normal counterpart, but not so much as the hypo variant. However, it also doesn't have the same issues with hunger. It could have been the prototype for hypos, or vice versa.

neat steeple
#

Magnas felt more like a perfected hypo to me. Hypos are too big and too strong to the point that they can’t survive, magnatyrannus feels like they realized that and toned it down to where the creature is sustainable. As for strength comparison, keep in mind that the magna reveal showed it killing a hypo rex.

vague glen
#

That doesn't necessarily mean it's better than the hypo, only that it's able to compete with it and win, though how often it'd win in that confrontation, we don't know. All reveals have to make the new strain/creature look badass in order to sell us the idea of it.

wooden lily
#

I just noticed this

#

There's blood on the door handle

#

Any possible connections with the raptors?

#

maybe everyone on the island was killed by the raptors since they just opened all the doors

#

and the armed squadrons are going to be sent to the island investigate

wraith nova
#

Not all bunkers seem all abandoned, and two or at last one have some sort of blood stains on it. Seem that some places have been abandoned. Also cameras at some spots like dockyard seem to follow movement of dinos, at last I had felt like it follows movemet.

digital vale
#

Makes me wonder if there'l be someday possible to find the control room with the records. Maybe the cameras will work some big/small part in the story or gameplay, like finding hidden areas or locating hypos.

wraith nova
#

It would make sanse if playing as mercenary you could get in one of bunkers and watch records or maybe live from some parts of island.

#

I think Dondi said something about testing possibility of watching live

uneven cipher
#

thats already done with he didnt really do any tests

sleek temple
#

from what ik

#

the ones that arnt abandoned have the AE logo static

#

the ones that are abandoned just have static

radiant tiger
#

But some places dont have static

#

The radio tower for example

#

And if you listen closely the cameras will pause when looking at your dino and you can hear the shutters close and take a picture

wraith nova
#

True, but it could be remote controlled. On other hand it seem there's some transmissions you can hear from inside

radiant tiger
#

Yea the static could be either the humans trying to imprint on the dinos to be able to control them or to keep them away

mighty abyss
#

I wonder to what extent we'll be able to get into buildings as humans, though that's getting into gameplay speculation

#

I imagine the static correlates to the currently 'functioning' buildings

wraith nova
#

I guess that static could be sort of keep dinos away system. AE did experiments with neuro strain and could already understand how to cause some disturbance in brain waves.

#

Could be caused by earlier attacks. I mean those abandoned bunkers probably weren't abandoned without reason

junior sun
#

The dinos have implants. The static is caused by them getting too close to human areas.

#

Although, I find it interesting that the Docks no longer have the static, while most of the other areas do.

wraith nova
#

That too, but since you can see AE logo in those statics. It could mean that some sort of image can be send with some unpleasant things caused by implants. So dinos will connect AE logo with those unpleasant things and no longer get too close

junior sun
#

That's the idea, yes. Why was it removed from Docks though?

#

So the dinos would come in and get trapped?

radiant tiger
#

I wonder if the static was turned off because they want us to either see something or yea get trapped

junior sun
#

Someone took out the transmitter there?

cinder hound
#

Crazy idea, what if the static effect around human structures be some kind of item that mercenaries can use?

I know this is more of a gameplay thing, but I doubt dinosaurs would be dissuaded from approaching human structures FOREVER. So perhaps it is some kind of item, machine or god knows what, that causes anything with the transplant to start seeing the static/hallucinations?

junior sun
#

Yeah, it's a human item. It's in the lore. Humans implanted dinos and send signals to keep them away from the structures. Docks had it previously, now they don't. Everything else still does, I think. I gotta go check now

cinder hound
#

I thought the "item" we knew about previously was one that acted as a tracker, not a repellent?

junior sun
#

Radio tower doesn't have it now either

radiant tiger
#

Yea

#

I dont get why radio tower wouldnt tho

#

Feels like that would be a spot they dont want dinos to go

remote ledge
#

How do hatchlings get this implant?

cinder hound
#

If I recall, nested cratures won't have the implant.

radiant tiger
#

So there will actually be a point to nesting

cinder hound
#

Mhm.

celest drum
#

Keep in mind from a gameplay perspective too tho

#

Static is used to represent what parts of map arent necessarily done yet

#

Ofc they arent gonna keep it there forever

#

Hence why it isnt a docks

wraith nova
#

Good point, though because of logo people get curious if thar have some other cause. Plain statics that get's worse when you get closer could make most go away because why bother when you hardly see anything

celest drum
#

Yea I was more addressing the guy mentioning port tho

sleek temple
#

if u go to a place for example

#

the ruins up at dump

#

u get just static with no AE logo

#

but if u go to the buildings at twins

#

u get AE logo static

amber nebula
#

Perhaps twins is a area important to AE

sleek temple
#

not the only place with AE logo static

#

theres also the buildings north of docks

static crystal
#

perhaps that’s where nested dinos will come into play. If you were born in the wild then there won’t be any implants from AE, therefore they can’t keep you from getting too close to their buildings and will lack other means of control (like maybe tasers?).

wraith nova
#

Maybe when human factin will be playable buildings with AE logo in statics will change look, as in look more frequently used. Logo could also indicate that some places have higher transmission activity

nova yarrow
#

I was actually wondering if the buildings would be some form of lootable areas that can then be turned into safe houses to restock ammo and supplies

mighty abyss
#

Perhaps. But then there wouldn't be much insentive to go outside... Ever

sleek temple
#

there would

terse solar
#

My Isle Theory- Maybe the strains will only be attainable through enslaved dinos - Oof

errant dust
#

@terse solar what do you mean by enslaved? Like humans have to capture the Dino then mutate them? As test subjects?

regal locust
#

Enslavement is a more appropriate term for the "taming" system coming in with tribals. I'm assuming what he meant was that he thought maybe you could become a strain by being an "tamed" or "enslaved" dinosaur. I'm assuming it's just a shitpost though.

terse solar
#

Lol I said taming in suggestions discussion just yesterday and someone said it's they're being enslaved- I told them it is the same thing

#

They are basically the same thing - only training is like a broader term for it

digital vale
#

So, if I understand well - your theory is the strain dinos are tamed by humans and used against the... idk, other dinos? That would be interesting, maybe each human race (mercs., tribals, etc.) uses different strain.

warped coral
#

that would be a stupid gameplay decision; having to rely on others especially other factions who are actively playing against you to become a near unstoppable killing machine?

#

it also encourages massive clans to stranglehold this method to ensure only them and their buddies will become strains to dominate the server

#

Don has said that being enslaved will reap benefits, to encourage you from just immediately going apeshit and trying to go down guns blazing, but what these benefits will be has never been expanded upon.

sleek temple
#

i agree with lemur

#

what if no humans exist

digital vale
#

They do exist, there are mercenaries, tribals, and maybe somebody else.

radiant tiger
#

^

sleek temple
#

@digital vale

#

talking about if none are on the server

sleek temple
#

so

#

the Type H quetza

#

was moved to Atricummm C after it broke out of containment

#

ATRIUM C

TYPE-H BIOLOGICAL ASSET STUDY IS TO BE MOVED TO ATRIUM C. CLEARANCE LEVEL HAS SUMMARILY ELEVATED TO LEVEL 4 SINCE THE INCIDENT INVOLVING (11 LETTERS). DIRECTOR (5 LETTERS) HAS HALTED ALL DEVELOPMENT OF ANY AND ALL TYPE-H PTEROSAURIA STUDIES SINCE THE LOSS OF (2 LETTERS) PERSONNEL. ATRIUM HOUSING IS CURRENTLY BEING ADJUSTED.

#

this map is pc_contignecy on primal carnage

#

so the Hypo ptera is kepted in here obv

carmine marsh
#

where'd you get that SS from @sleek temple

sleek temple
#

by the STUDIES SINCE THE LOSS OF AE PERSONNEL is what i think the (2 LETTERS is)

#

SS?

#

primal carnage

carmine marsh
#

i see

sleek temple
#

extinction lmao

#

the map pc_contignecy

#

i think

#

i found the 11 letters one

#

Atrium alpha

#

and heres proof that its possible

#

hypo quetza could easy do that

icy onyx
#

Or you know that could be damage from Project Inferno

carmine marsh
#

or you know, it could just be map design.

icy onyx
sleek temple
#

well there was a quetzal in pc

slow delta
#

Oh i always wondered where atrium a was

#

B was aquatic and C pterosaur

#

Hyper alfie broke out of c which caused it to be repurposed for land hypers

#

And magna water testing happened in b

#

But i wondet if those are the same atriums

#

Since pc got operation infernod

sleek temple
#

well

#

it says A2

slow delta
#

Hmmmm

sleek temple
#

also

#

are u telling me it broke out of C aswell?

#

also i wonder if pc:e updates are including isle lore into certain maps

mighty abyss
#

That's.. an interesting turn I hadn't expected. Phoenix and Apollo were working together then?

#

Unless Atrium C is referencing a separate Atrium C, it's strange

#

could the earthquake in PC be linked in some way I wonder

#

Because the basic premise of PC is that the dinosaurs broke out after an earthquake broke some equipment. Alfie, the Quetz, broke out of the Atrium and as of PC is still alive (he can be seen flying over Marsh in the PCE map)

#

and as far as I can remember, there were fliers held in Atrium A before they were transferred to Atrium C

#

all the Atriums are connected too (A led to B through sewers, which led to C through a Jungle)

sleek temple
#

yes alijar

#

i had a screenie of it flying over

#

up close

odd pilot
#

Oof, look who it is?

#

@slow delta

slow delta
#

The isle loading screens do not mention atrium a and hyper alfie

#

So i assumed its only related to c

sleek temple
#

well

#

special thnig about atrium c is that it has the electric kill all thing

#

so it would make sense if hyper alfie was moved from a to c

tiny carbon
#

to be fair, the loading screen entries were written before Deathly was removed from the team, so I imagine that their info has probably been changed if it isn't completely irrelevant already

hearty mulch
#

ehh

#

deathly didn't write lore

slow delta
#

And the loading screens havent changed after all this time

#

It would suck if they were revamped because they are the most cannon and solid piece of lore we have atm

digital vale
#

I tried to make some research and was flying across the pc_contignecy trying to find some clues (and bug into some structures, that was bad idea), and I found out some QR codes on the boxes in the hatchery (it's next to the room with the Quetz's anatomy picture) I don't know much about Primal Carnage's lore and easter egss, did somebody figured out what is it before? Also I found some info from dinosauriac that Alfie was (in original PC lore) only one succesful Quetz clone that survived to adulthood and somehow escaped Atrium C, killing everyone in the process. He was also originally supposed to be some kind of Boss you'd fight. If the PC a TI are really connected, I wonder if the Alfie was really only one adult quetz/hypo quetz. If yes, then that would probably mean the Quetz will be somehow unique to become playable, or you will die eventually.

mighty abyss
#

I don't think anybody ever bothered with the QR codes, but they're probably just generic ones

#

they're on all those box types in the game

#

I don't know anything about Alfie being a "boss" however. The Kaprosuchus was supposed to be more along those lines but that was revamped into Hunt mode with Hunt Novaraptors (experimental cloaking technology, so it doesn't tie into Isle as of current). A tyrant-class maybe though

#

Seeing as how the tyrants are modified in some capacity (spinosaurus being the old bipedal stance representative could be explained in it being modified, acrocanthosaurus is the only exception here) I wouldn't be surprised if Alfie was a more derived variant of the quetz's

#

as for the Quetz itself, the model we know about doesn't seem to be 'hyper-ified' to any capacity, but a hyper-quetz shouldn't be off the table

sleek temple
#

well

#

the model of the quetz flying above marsh is just a bigger ptera model

#

thats fully cloaked black

mighty abyss
#

I meant the isle model

trim comet
#

@mighty abyss uhh you know that spino is getting a more updated model right?

hearty mulch
#

they're talking about the pc spino methinks

wraith nova
#

They're talking about quetz model

digital vale
dusk axle
#

looks more like an anorexic rodan imo

wraith nova
#

If AE uses assets or simple data from PC they could create/clone their own quetz and later use it for hypo experiments. So the one from primal doesn't have to look like hyper-tidied lorewise, besides obvious usage of big Petra model

wicked sonnet
#

I have a possible theory of where the Isle takes place, unless it’s been confirmed and I’m dumb. I believe it takes place somewhere inside of Canada or even Alaska. The Geography and plant life seems to be similar for the most part apart from the weird jungle trees and it would give explanation for the Northern lights. It also makes a bit of sense since Alaska has some small islands close to it that could be like our current 2 maps. The United States has also been know to do some military testing there which may have something to do with the reasons they dinosaurs are on the island. I’m not saying that the Military had anything quite to do with it if at all, but maybe it’s drawing inspiration. Could just be a stretch of the imagination.

radiant tiger
#

The thing is the trees could have been created with dna samples just like the dinos

#

There was something discussed earlier let me see if I can find it

#

Idk there was an image of a global position just under Mexico

#

In the middle of the ocean

#

Idk if that could be a clue to where this is

#

But idk about the aurora

radiant tiger
#

Yea

#

That

#

In the bottom corner

digital vale
#

Maybe that's the location of that underwater facility, and that Apollo has many facilities across the planet. Poeple were talking about those dots on the radar when you're logging in, maybe those are also other facilities.

radiant tiger
#

Has anyone else been hearing a low pitched buzz at night recently?

#

Its not ambiance

#

It sounds mechanic

digital vale
#

You mean that "airplane sound"? Yeah, some time ago people were talking about it and it looks like you can hear it at night at only few locations. If I remember well nobody knows what is it, but somebody speculated it's a part of Redwood ambient (but I don't think so.

radiant tiger
#

Ah

#

It sounds like it comes from buildings

#

Because I only hear it around then

#

But idk

sleek temple
#

mabye its a sign of something coming

digital vale
#

I don't remember the whole discussion, but it was in different areas, mostly up the hills. Who knows, maybe it has something to do with the Gate, or there is some kind of drone waitching over us.

outer dagger
#

i hear that too, i described it in here a while ago

#

but to me it sounded more like a deep buzzing

#

like from a beehive

#

i heard it when i was a sucho traveling to twins from the beach, mostly when everything's all quiet

digital vale
#

Yup, I remember your post 😃 As I said, sadly, nobody knows what exactly it is. Wind, generator, airplane, bees... it can be anything. Everything we know now is that you can hear it only at night.

sleek temple
#

btw

#

ive noticed that the lighthouse makes a titling noise

digital vale
#

Really? Did you record it?

sleek temple
#

u can check it urself

#

ive got no recording system thats good for quick recordings

#

i wonder though why they never modelled it to be bent slightly or tilted

digital vale
#

It's pretty late here and I'm going to go to sleep, so I can possibly check it tomorrow. Is that sound somehow... interesting? Like, can you describe it?

sleek temple
#

it sounds like metal being strained

digital vale
#

Is it similiar to cannibal sounds in the Aviary?

sleek temple
#

yea

#

2 noises play

#

and they come from the tower itself

digital vale
#

Interesting, thanks for info 😃

dull osprey
#

sounds like a big cricket

sleek temple
#

ya know

#

dock yard doesnt have static anymore

#

and dock had the just static with no AE static

#

on eu 3 rn since its a ded server looking for clues

#

gonna head to docks

#

i think something was added there tbh

#

AE static

#

Normal static

#

my theory about these is

#

both dont want u to go to the place

sweet zephyr
#

you are missing a thid type

#

third*

sleek temple
#

?

sweet zephyr
#

I had something that looked like a triangle near radio tower

#

or an outline of one.

sleek temple
#

got any screenies?

sweet zephyr
#

was busy at the time, rex problem.

#

but I definitely noticed the difference from the Dump Static

sleek temple
#

i dint see any static while at radio

#

when did it happen?

#

but back to my theory about these 2 statics

#

i think AE static means the area is still funcional or controlled by humans

#

and i think Normal Static is areas that are deserted by still have "power"

#

big docks used to have normal static

#

now it doesnt

#

and it looks more over ran by nature

#

suggesting that not theres no power

#

but that a the connection to docks through the replicator is gone

#

if its the replicator that causes the static on the screen to tell us to go away

radiant tiger
#

Radio tower also doesnt have any static

#

Did it since last update?

#

and did people find out anything?

sleek temple
#

well

#

i only know this was removed last update

radiant tiger
#

There is blood on the handle of radios door

#

perhaps someone was trying to replace the transmitter for the static when they got ambushed

sleek temple
#

well

#

suggesting how theres blood

#

i think a dilo may of did it

#

cuz hes a bleeder

radiant tiger
#

Probably

#

Something small

sleek temple
#

and assuming he never got inside

radiant tiger
#

where the person would be able to get away and get to the dooor

#

I mean I would assume he did

#

altho the door would probably be open slightly

#

since they probably wouldnt be able to get in without the dino getting in as well

sleek temple
#

well

#

what if he did get in

#

and dino dint get in with him

radiant tiger
#

I just realized

#

There are boxes near the door

#

Not decayed

#

not dirty

#

fresh delivered boxes

sleek temple
#

mhm

#

meaning someone could be there

#

but then

radiant tiger
#

There is a sticker on it too

#

Idk if you could read it if you went into replay

sleek temple
#

it doesnt make sense

#

why is there no static if radio tower has people there

radiant tiger
#

Broken transmitter?

#

Maybe the dilo got in

#

and wrecked the place

sweet zephyr
#

ignore what killed the person

#

for all you know it may have been something else.

#

but the power part intrigues me

radiant tiger
#

Yea

#

The the only real reason we should be interested in looking to see what killed it is hypo or not

sweet zephyr
#

it is unlikely to have been a hypo

radiant tiger
#

I mean isnt H utah going to open doors?

sleek temple
#

the H utah is maia sized

sweet zephyr
#

it coulve been anything.

sleek temple
#

and when my carno went to the door

#

it was the same size

sweet zephyr
#

I don't think it matters unless you found bullet casings nearby.

radiant tiger
#

Ah

sweet zephyr
#

which is unlikely.

radiant tiger
#

How would bullet casings change it?

sweet zephyr
#

he mightve been shot.

radiant tiger
#

Thats true

sleek temple
#

or he mightved killed somethin

sweet zephyr
#

whatever the case, he either got in

#

or didn't.

sleek temple
#

got in wounded

sweet zephyr
#

we don't know.

radiant tiger
#

So what we have now is:
power is functioning
transmitter for static is not
Fresh boxes labeled fragile
Sticker on box may have clue

sleek temple
#

so uh

#

whos the AE sysadmin

sweet zephyr
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

radiant tiger
#

Hold up

#

Found something

sleek temple
#

is it the replicator

radiant tiger
#

Labeled on a crate for the box is a symbol

#

SS

#

and the box just shook

sleek temple
#

GATEWAY STATUS CHECK ERROR
REPLICATION IN PROGRESS
I CANNOT CHOOSE FAVORITES
YOU ARE BEING CONTROLLED
AWAITING SIGNAL FROM DOCKYARD.

#

radio tower sent message to dockyard

#

but did the message make it

sweet zephyr
#

there is unlikely to be interference, so let's assume so.

sleek temple
#

well

#

we know docks is over ran

#

so depending on it

#

the signal may of never made it

#

so they wont get any back

radiant tiger
sweet zephyr
#

the guy who sent the signal

#

is unlikely to be with whatever made the replicator

#

or at least is working against it

sleek temple
#

well

#

you are being controlled

#

suggests against it

sweet zephyr
#

awaiting signal from dockyard may mean a coming event

#

the arrival of something ?

#

or maybe the message is old, and it is the departure of something.

sleek temple
#

well

#

what if

#

the guy

#

that had blood on door

#

goti n

#

and made this message

#

and sent to dockyard

#

cuz he thought

#

its the furthest away

#

it has to be still running

#

so he sent the signal to them

sweet zephyr
#

that's farfetched to say the least

sleek temple
#

well

#

if the replicator doesnt want em to do it

#

replicator sends dinos on em

sweet zephyr
#

as far as we know

#

from the affinity system.

#

and some of the old tribal information

#

the replicator does not have direct ''orders''

#

it doesn't force you to do anything.

sleek temple
#

remember the messages the devs can give u

sweet zephyr
#

so I do not see why it would matter in this scenario.

#

those are information

#

not orders.

sleek temple
#

yes

#

what if fthe information is

#

theres a human going to radio tower

#

and if affinity wants ur dino to eat humans

sweet zephyr
#

hm.

#

I'm not sure on that.

sleek temple
#

well

dull osprey
#

“suggesting how theres blood”

#

on the hand of radio

#

that doesnt mean... its a dilo

#

they are dinosaurs

sleek temple
#

heres something to think about

#

depending on when the guy arrived

dull osprey
#

a hit from almost anything causes immense pain for squishy humans

sleek temple
#

id assume night to avoid most dinos

#

and yet im assuming he went from the human bases from twins to radio tower

#

dilo makes most sense as its a night time hunter

radiant tiger
#

has anyone thought about this pump at radio tower?

#

Like

#

why was it placed outside

#

there are very few parts of the radio tower exposed and it seems very idk how to describe it

#

out of place?

#

For someone to have to go outside of the tower to do whatever was with the pump

sleek temple
#

well

#

the valves ik where for the little pond that got removed

radiant tiger
#

and why were the boxes placed outside

#

ah

#

Find anything at docks yet carno?

sleek temple
#

just arrived there

#

out of stam rn

radiant tiger
#

ah

sleek temple
#

i havnt noticed anything diffrent

#

but i did find something that means there was a railway system to the docks

radiant tiger
#

Rip my utah

#

Broken hitboxes

#

Hmmm

#

Lol just got a docks spawn

#

Ill try to explore with my juvi see what being small allows me to find

#

and there was a railway or there will be?

sleek temple
#

well

#

on the old v3 map

#

there was a railway

radiant tiger
#

ohh

radiant tiger
#

So does anyone know what that ss stands for

#

found it on some of the lifty things

#

The little cars with spokes that lift stuff

junior sun
#

Forklifts?

pastel lark
#

Lifty bois

wooden lily
#

@radiant tiger SS is an abbreviation often attributed to large ships

#

and I can see why, considering the docks are a cargo tradeyard

#

an abandoned one, that is

unkempt frigate
#

how could humans build these large structures with the interference of dinosaurs and just after building them with all the money and effort just abandon them?

wooden lily
#

@unkempt frigate they probably built them before the dinosaurs existed

#

in fact, they could have been lab equipment for making the dinosaurs

#

once the dinosaurs were made, they could have killed all the people on the island

#

and therefore maybe the reason why you see no one on the island anymore

wraith nova
#

Actually I doubt dinos killed all humans, seem there is some activity. They probably prefer to monitor dino activity in more or less wild.

radiant tiger
#

^

#

Am I the only one who thinks these counteract each other

#

Or wait

sleek temple
#

thaytzz may evidence o3o3o

radiant tiger
#

Lol yea I wanted to talk about it more tho

sleek temple
#

they dont though

radiant tiger
#

Yea

#

I just realized

sleek temple
#

it means they have a limited amount of time and its gonna be hard

#

but whats the mission

radiant tiger
#

Probably to tame the hypos

#

Use them as a war weapon

sleek temple
#

why tame it iff its gonna die quickly

radiant tiger
#

It only will die quickly if it doesnt eat right? Its like how they would starve lions in the colosseum

sleek temple
#

well

#

it confirms that the day and night cycle is "fake"

#

and is man made

#

cuz as soon as this happened it turned day

radiant tiger
#

Oh?

#

Interesting

#

That means this could be taking place anywhere

#

Doesnt have to be a location with the auroras

sleek temple
#

only problem

radiant tiger
#

For all we know it could be in the middle of a populated area

#

?

sleek temple
#

is this theroy could be wrong if im right about tribals being there before ae came

#

kinda the same story as jurassic park

#

tribal people lived on isla nublar before ingen came and took it away from em

#

my proof is that there is ruins below titan lake

#

meaning the lake has to be man made if tribals lived there before titan lake was made

radiant tiger
#

Hmm

wraith nova
#

That's true, though those ruins don't have to be made by tribals. Both giant skeleton and ruins were in earlier version of map in Forest. On other hand it kinda seem like it's just lower and flooded, so still suggesting that lake was man made

#

I kinda wonder maybe those messages from screens above are accidentally received by implants. That would add more twist to everything and could be evidence that human are still present on island

dusk axle
#

werent human minds the ones being inserted into dinosaur and merc/tribal bodies for testing by the replicator?

sleek temple
#

for all u know humans helped do that

wraith nova
#

I remember there where theory about human minds being inserted into dinos, but I don't recall anything suggesting that, though I just could miss that.

#

There was something mentioning making dinos do what "we", probably AE, wanted and think they do want to do it. Because they can't be forced to be controlled that easily

sleek temple
#

human minds were definatly inserted into them

dusk axle
#

same, the only genuine humans around could only be the director of AE, and scientists and subordinates, im trying to make som fan lore comics but times is a bitch, still i belive that mercs are just cloned human bodies ready to be habitated by the human minds

celest drum
#

is there any evidence of human minds being put into dinos or is that just the current hot take

radiant tiger
#

Human minds put in dinos?

#

Never heard that tbh

regal locust
#

Supported by the death screen text to the right, and a direct quote from Don when he was talking about the replicator. If anyone has it, please do me a solid ‘n repost it.

maiden drift
#

Here's an idea; the tests are taking place in a gigantic subterranean cavern, with its own native alien fauna.

#

Some kind of Land of the Lost or Hollow Earth type shit, crossed with The Truman Show. The horizon and the sky are fake, a solid wall and a highly advanced holographic screen respectively. In reality, everything is miles underground in a flooded hollow, where the Strain plants and possibly the cannibal trogs were found in their unadulterated original form.

leaden nexus
#

what about island walkers?

#

cant really walk across islands if its a dome

maiden drift
#

The dinosaurs aren't native, but the fossils are. Unusually high-quality stuff, buried far below where it doesn't belong in preserved and accessible form. Dumped by sinkhole, perhaps. The whole thing is an artificial ecosystem designed around dead things spliced together, livings things that shouldn't exist, and nightmare plant forms that even more shouldn't exis.t

#

As for walking between islands, the dome or cylindrical containment structure, whatever shape it takes, could be very, very large.

leaden nexus
#

that's a lot of resources for a dome

maiden drift
#

It is a very large bioweapons company.

leaden nexus
#

not to mention they use atriums to hold hypers and other animals already

#

so it doesnt really make sense to have a dome within a dome for a dome that hold things within said dome

maiden drift
#

Nonsense. Some things you don't want contaminating the other areas. Would you really want the Hypendocrine quetz flying around between all the test areas?

#

There's also the seawall separating the unfinished portion of the map. Floatation seawalls could just as easily be used to segregate water life between compartmentalized test areas.

leaden nexus
#

I just can't see it being a large dome, sure I can see the island being a testing facility with human areas fenced off

#

and maybe seawalls

#

fliers could be engineered to have very bad stamina so they dont make it across the ocean

maiden drift
#

How else can the sky be fake, then? Turning the sun and moon off like lights? Unless it's a simulation, I don't see it.

leaden nexus
#

server commands are canon?

maiden drift
#

All I'm going off of is the screenshots a little further up the chain here. "YOUR REALITY WILL TEMPORARILY BECOME UNSTABLE. PLEASE HOLD FOR RECALIBRATION." "POWERS HAVE BEEN REDISTRIBUTED. PHASE TESTING WILL BE MONITORED."

#

It smells a whole lot like an artificial sky. And why wouldn't an artificial sky have an artificial horizon?

leaden nexus
#

that's usually for content creators getting someting experimental or a special guest

#

and dondi usually making it day time if its night time when he gives them said content

#

I wouldn't really use it as confirmation

#

but ya could use neuros for that

#

or at least the spino one

maiden drift
#

Don't ask me, I'm hopping in on some interesting screenshots and a man saying it means something. I think a hellish subterranean artificial world would be a neat twist, and it would explain the source of the bullshit alien plants that would be a harder sell if they were the creation of crude modern/nearfuture gene splicing & cloning.

#

This is the theories channel, after all.

leaden nexus
#

yeah but we can already alter plants genetically

#

and in a scifi settings such as the isle it can easily explain the strain plants

#

I do really like the idea of a subterranean map though

But altering them to create super-pituatary disorder hormonal overdrive? Electropsychic monsters with human brain capacity? Plastic fleshed, nerve agent producing camo killers? Why not bake that into the dinosaur chimeras in the first place, why put it into a plant?

leaden nexus
#

seems to be a common trope for these types of things

#

look at resident evil for example

maiden drift
#

That is true, but Resident Evil is at least a little more cornball than this world seems to be. I'm willing to bet the plants weren't manufactured. They were found. And with how Dondi was selling them as often doing 'horrible things' to the player, implying their being a more present environmental hazard than just a few laboratory areas, maybe they were even suppressed.

#

Beaten back, contained, exploited, while their former seeding grounds are reformed into something vaguely resembling the Triassic through Cretaceous eras with modern plants and animals. But the fields aren't quite fallow, and containments have this awful habit of getting breached in the horror genre. Double whammy of xenofauna experiments gone wrong.

#

exactly

#

now what I want to know is why they would send mercenaries onto the island

#

there's going to be a resource mercs will want to get and apparently tribals will want to protect them for the replicator

maiden drift
#

As far as the mercenaries know, containment and acquisitions.

leaden nexus
#

seems like the replicator is supposed to be shut off or something

maiden drift
#

As far as our resident horrible bioweapon company is concerned? Live human combat data.

leaden nexus
#

and doesn't want to be

#

that too

#

I'm more interested on the AI run cloning facility

#

perpetually keeping who are stuck there to repeat cycles as bizzare tribals and dinosaurs

maiden drift
#

Dinosaurs don't eat sillicon and cave trog monsters don't want to murder them. Lab techs do not have this advantage.

#

It's a matter of administrative redundancy. If everyone dies, the AI takes over and keeps the ship running.

#

Sillicion may or may not be immune to invasive xenofauna, on the other hand.

#

Or rather, xenoflora.

leaden nexus
#

maybe it is supposed to keep running but then why send mercs to get the resources it need to keep running then?

#

sure they might expect them to all die but there is always the chance of the mercs succeeding and stopping the replicator

maiden drift
#

Having a dumb/semi-smart AI is expensive. Having robotic proxy bodies to do its own dirty work is expensive.

#

Soldiers of fortune are comparatively cheap and double as testing material in a number of ways.

#

Furthermore, if the mercenaries do succeed in stopping a runaway cloner, alien plant overgrowth, or strain dinosaur infestation, whatever might be on plate at the time, that's useful testing data and the 'normal' test cycles can continue afterwards, while the higher ups sift through the interesting breach data and maybe plan out the next one.

#

In essence, it doesn't matter if the replicator is or isn't stopped, as long as the outer containment is not breached. Whatever form it may take.

leaden nexus
#

good point

#

it all makes sense so far

#

back to the fake sky though

#

they could be using a system like HAARP to control the weather which is why a neuro spino cam glitch it to make it rain and such

#

the islands are supposed to be the world as it was so outside of the islands something is going on

maiden drift
#

Gumming on that idea, I think that even in a fake subterranean sky, having a real atmosphere simulation could be easier than trying to make a big fluid screen over the huge ceiling.

#

There's this one huge NASA rocket dock that is so tall and wide that it's fully capable of having a precipitation cycle. Set up a basic blue backdrop to obscure the cave ceiling, add a little of the appropriate lighting here & there, and put your 'sun' on an unseen track. Like a gigantic UV lamp, ratcheted up to the effective output of the sun after it's done getting through our atmosphere. Then, control the precipitation cycle at will with a sci-fi HAARP deal.

#

Question is, how to fake the aurora if it's neither a holoscreen nor a virtual simulation?

leaden nexus
#

if you have an atmosphere simulation you can always heat it up for that

#

like how solar winds do it

#

but whats the point in doing that?

maiden drift
#

Maybe it's a side effect of the reincarnation process.

#

Brain jacking consciousnesses between bodies, human or dinosaur, and not necessarily to their respective original forms.

#

Polar lights are an electromagnetic disturbance, and the brain is an essentially electric piece of meat machinery. If they're controlling the flow of precipitation, why wouldn't they create and control the electromagnetic flow too?

#

Hell, maybe the lights are how they keep perfect wireless contact with every brain in the test program at all times ala the Affinity system. Not through implants, but through invasive electric monitoring.

#

You think mercs'll be able to craft tinfoil hats? We're swiftly heading in that direction.

leaden nexus
#

Tinfoil hats endgame gear confirmed

#

That underground thing is interesting. As for alien like plant, easy testing on plants before dinos to extract working/useful strains

@sleek temple I'm going to stop you on that day/night cycle are confirmed fake for 1 reason. I know this is late, but that picture that says powers have been redistributed phase testing will be monitored, you say that right after it it turned to day. Well, I wouldnt say that anything that happens off of official servers count as confirming anything. On that screenshot theyre using global chat and theres an admin that isnt any of the official server admins in the chat. Regular admins of servers can adjust time of day as well. And the devs may be the only ones who can activatw those sorts of messages, however the devs do help out server owners to make things interesting. Last night on IGP's server, Fozer was sending announcements like that along with Icy to help a streamer get some content. Anything that happens off of official servers should never be taken for canon

#

And for everyone else questioning it, yes human minds are being inserted into the minds of dinosaurs. There's a transmission that talks about it and about thats why they needed ti implement the affinity system. There was also a console interaction eons ago now that talked about EIP's being distributed through Gateway and all kinds of other things that point to it

#

Its not new tbh

sleek temple
#

just a theory doh

wraith nova
#

@tiny carbon Thanks for clarifying doubts about human minds being inserted into dinosaurs. I wasn't sure if it was theory or fact, sometimes it mixes up when you try to follow few things

#

I do agree with day/night cycle, if there's no information about it we should assume that it was done via command

tiny carbon
#

Yeah, its hard to follow these days with everyone throwinf in theories right now. Honestly, i woukd wait ti start theorizing again until after the recode since they teased the new blue color and since (i think) primal carnage has been officially linked, thatll change up the lore again too. Better tk wait and ser until after the recode. And pardon all my typos, im on mobile and my phone doesnt autocorrect

hello! I was listening to a podcast the other day about paleobotany that made me curious about the isle story (since most of the plants seem to be more modern in the isle), I'm not sure if that should go here or in discussion but namely what is the story of the isle? Like, in terms of why dinos are there is it a found island previously unknown or was it kinda jp style engineered (if people have guessed that yet?)

junior sun
#

Modern day biological experiment on an Island gone wrong. Human Consciousness implanted into dinosaurs for testing and also genetic experimentation.

dusk axle
#

didn Don himself said that nothing happened by accident in AE, so this alledged go wrong was all the time planned?

vivid cape
#

ty Lethal! shame, I'd love to see the plant life match as well it'd be so gorgeoussss
oooo, conspiracy

celest drum
#

If human consciousness was put into dinosaurs how are they able to communicate

#

They wouldnt magically start speaking dinosaur

river marsh
#

we make specific sets of noises that translate into words in our minds. we're fast learners; at the bare basics, its likely that if you were put into a dinosaur body, you would be able to make sounds much like the calls we have that differentiate very generic/basic things such as friendly, hostile, etc. If you build upon that with a large group, or raise young, (especially if you raise young) then with the time invested language gets built again. birds, monkies, and meercats make varying noises depending on specific predators and dangers, or if they find a certain food, etc.

celest drum
#

A different language is different than being able to train our minds to operate a new body and replicated sounds to communicate in a non verbal manner

#

Considering when you first spawn on you can already make sounds there is no development

#

The whole minds in dinos thing just seems like a stretch to me

narrow thunder
#

Um you do realize that when someone’s mind is transferred knowledge of how to communicate and such could be implanted

river marsh
#

could also be using profiles that have been doing this for many years by now, so we skip the whole learning curve

celest drum
#

To me it makes sense only if the whole island is a simulation

@junior sun I've read everything compiled on the website and I found nothing on what you mentioned about the different Tribal variations, such as the Ravager. I found mention of the Reaper and the like, but nothing further than that.

junior sun
#

In the upper right corner, click on The Lore, then the down arrow next to it

#

Lore, then the Down Arrow next to Strains\

#

Then Humanoid Strains

#

Reaper is Tisso Human, Echidna is Neuro, Colossus is Type-H

#

Took me a while to figure out the down arrow thing, there's a lot more info when you do.

#

@viscid pulsar did you see this?

#

And yeah, it's not ravager. It's reaper. My bad

viscid pulsar
#

Yeah I saw that above right away

#

Ah ok

#

Reaper is Tisso injected, not Hyper

junior sun
#

Yep

#

I haven't finished my coffee.....

tiny carbon
#

@celest drum when i get onto my PC ill post everything that confirms human minds being put into dinos

narrow thunder
#

Um you do realize that when someone’s mind is transferred knowledge of how to communicate and such could be implanted

#

Or are we just gonna skip that

sleek temple
#

but can knowledge be removed?
