Meet the bois

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

Ah yes, this one

#

Tapwing didn't work on it as far as I'm aware but she was the first I made aware of some... stuff I did with it

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

I expect the Nuero will be the most dangerous to humans. If i remember correctly she has telekinesis

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

I personaly tried to sketch some thing son tisso rex to make it more... "alive" I'd say if I was to use my own words

#

Dunno if I can post it here tho, because it's technically fan art and not theory or lore

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

I have also done many sketches as well. The Hypo data in the background appears to show some form of combined proteins, maybe it shows a hyper metabolism rate?

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Hypo data shows molecules, but I'm bad at chemistry so I can't tell
the picture is CURSED with small size so I can't tell the details

#

the data in the background seems to show some growth patterns? the kind you'd see with "weight/size"

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

The Tisso, I expect her to kill most Nycta's pretty easy.

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

Nycta isn't official so doesn't matter

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

All I'm saying is I expect the Tisso to be powerful, I don't see whats wrong with that.

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Neuro definitely is cerebral signals, magnets and Membrane exchanges

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Yup, she's going to be playing mind games

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

Well tissoplastic as a name is... weird

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

Tapwing said that it refers to fake tissue, we could be looking at a partially non biological compound making up this creature.

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

In greek, tissue = istós
it's an anagram for Tisso but... I dunno

#

soo, "istos" becoming "tisso" is "fake"?

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

Ever seen warframe? perhaps thats how the lovely little Tisso will look aesthetically

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

I mean we have pictures of cells on the concept art
and the second one seems like the cells are expanded

#

Sooo, cell plasticity?

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Hmm, our science is very scientific. dondiLUL

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

It's game concept arts rying to look scientific

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

lol i was joking

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

well, so do the guys making those dinos

#

"we're gonna make a fuckhuge trex"
"for military purpose?"
shrug

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

It must suck to be the guys that have to take care of the Hypos, yknow, before the breakout. Imagine trying feed those things? My friend has just recently made a joke about how much it must suck trying to examine them too.

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Feeding those things?
I dunno there's probably an automated system at this point
the issue is more "how are we supposed to bring THIS MUCH FOOD in some isolate island"
and they better stock up on the stuff because you're not gonna make daily deliveries, but GIANT deliveries every once in a while alongside the rest of the things you're supposed to get to the island, it makes much more sense from a logistical point of view.

Let's just hope the guys that worked at setting all of this up had better logistics than the entire Jurassic Park Franchise

But well, they had giant aviaries/biodomes, giant fences, communication towers, from the designs they had for V3, a complet road and tunnel infrastructure and even countainment units/individual cages that looked to be able to contain the biggest stuff...

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

I know, but when it comes to veterinary care, I bet they've got a whole line of D-class's lined up lol

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

the question i have too is

What were they doing with the trees/plants? ya know the giant "hyper" sequoia and the other one...

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

I dunno, Maybe Hypo blood/fluids is a contaminant.

#

The question is who is brave enough to spill that blood?

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

I was more expecting "what can be interesting in there" but heh, a formula for super growth, probably a huge load of anti cancer and antibodies... you know the idea

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

Now, another question for you. Do you think strains are grown in labs, kept healthy, studied and eventually broke out. OR, do you think they are random mutations?

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

but then again, probably have automated systems, or indirect (read, mechanical arms that are controled by the scientist) means of testing

#

well seeing how the "lab" Dondi showed on stream, and that it's the same lab from that one Primal Carnage with the rex in a tube, and the rex from primal carnage is both looking like and the same size as Magna Rex...

if you want to optimize production and survival of those guys, it's probably vat grown
and even if they are random mutations, you can select those and replicate them, again in vats

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

Lab? I never saw that!

#

Do you have a photo of it?

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

and let's be honest, feeding something like that and keeping it alive from "birth" to adulthood (and being useful) would be long, dangerous and it could even kill itself accidentally

#

well there's that

yes, I do

@scarlet ivy here you go

And Rav, thanks, fam! much appreciated

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Oh, Hi mr Ravenous!

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Ravenous is my go to for the things I don't have pics of for the stuff
I have memory tho so it makes it easier for him, I guess dondiLUL

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

That looks uncomfortable for the poor dinos.

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Uncomfortable?
Why would it feel uncomfortable if the thing is in a medically induced coma?
that's how they put people in reanimation: they put you into artificial coma and then push that tube into your lungs, because if you were awake your body would reject the whole thing and that's a no no

#

so basically, the dino is possibly in a state of artificial coma from the get go
OR they put a live animal in it, and then they put it into artifical coma and make it grow to the next (albeit artificial) step of its life, being (what I consider conformed) a magna, and possibly some other strain

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

I know, just all that testing and forcing a pipe out of your throat is very unpleasant I hear

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

nah, just sedate it

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

I suspect that these Mutants don't like sedation. Or humans.

📎 unknown.png

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

it's more when it wakes up that things are more unpleasant
both for him AND the personnel

#

Well I have a fear of needles so I can understand why they wouldn't like it, but heh they are assets, they don't have a choice

#

and we won't give them any (in the best case scenario, but it's never a best case scenario, now is it?)

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

Lol poor vega, imagine tryna brush that things teeth. I also have a tremendous fear of needles as well so I definitely have empathy for these guys.

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

I don't
they aren't "natural", they are dangerous and it's either you or them...

#

and they don't think twice

#

Well, hypers are supposed to be very intelligent, but I have seen in many cases that intelligence corrolates with the ability for cruelty, extreme violence for the "fun" and being more or less a "cunt"

#

so no I don't feel empathy for those... things

#

Let's just hope "Dr Tapwing" didn't meet a gruesome or painful end...

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

the docs created them. A living thing still does feel pain. I imagine life in a lab would be awful especially for the female strains. From what I've heard all mutants get sterilized, and that causes dramtic shifts in the chemical balance of any animal. These things want to live, hunt and reproduce, if they get their children taken away, expect consequences.

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

female strains?

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

Sorry, females of the species

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

oh...

#

Well, I always kinda feared what the "hyperendocrin" strain would to to the psyche of a dinosaur...
I mean, the endocrin system is basically the body's regulation system. Appetite, pain, sexual drive...

From what I know, an hyperendocrine would basically be an ever hungry, very intelligent and pissed teenager but it's too hungry to care about its own sexdrive

or maybe it's playing into the "always pissed" factor

All in all, they are not gonna be "nice"

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

Regardless A mother shouldn't have their children taken away, animal or human. The isle should expect that many lives to be saved. With the exception of the rangers

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

Neurotenic? oh no problem just take a dinosaur and give it something that morphs every cell that isn't vital into basically neurons
so now they are super sensitive and very intelligent and maybe even mess with your perception and "talk to you"

but I expect the "talk to you" to be more along the lines of making you feel what it needs you to feel to get its point across, and maybe some mind image of what you're supposed to see

#

Tisso may be the more "mentally" stable strain, but then if it is capable of changing it's appearance like a cuttlefish does, maybe they could have personality issues

#

and I mean maybe

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

I agree, I think the rangers will probably have some sort of ability dampener to calm the strains down.

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

hypers would be brutal monsters that only care about themselves and if they ally to something, hunger's gonna take its toll and then you'll get betrayed
Neuros... do i need to add anything to the "capable to messing with your perception and sending you messages in your brain"?

scarlet ivy Mar 26, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

I agree, anyway, gtg. Chat with ya later.

crimson oasis Mar 26, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

wait, hyper, in the isle means hyperendocrine, or basicly an overactive endocrine system

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Yes

crimson oasis Mar 26, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

that would mean that the body is producing basicly an overabundance of hormones and steroids

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

yep

#

and probably mess up the negative feedback cycle too

crimson oasis Mar 26, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

that wouldnt nessicarialy afftect their manerisms, mothers would probably protect children

icy onyx Mar 26, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Hormones, Ace, hormones

#

but then you have to remember hypers are always hungry, and that they are very intelligent, so they probably wouldn't care about babies beyond what their need for food would allow them

#

I don't know when it was said but I'm fairly certain they said strains were infertile

#

and if it's the case, we don't need the details

scarlet ivy Mar 27, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

Well, speaking technically, Mothers often sacrifice themselves when it comes to defending their children. It is a drive that triumphs any others in her brain chemistry. Increased hormones would only amplify this drive.

Question
Did AE steal the magna tyrannous only to have it break free and escape?

jade notch Mar 27, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

Is AE morally in the right?

scarlet ivy Mar 27, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

Is Ae morally in the right?? No. To say the least. With the exception of the rangers

torpid bear Mar 27, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

I heard somewhere that primal carnage and the isle share the same lore. is this true?

dreamy stump Mar 27, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

Dondi bought the rights to Primal Carnage a while back, and some things are hauled over from Primal Carnage, so yes and no.

slow delta Mar 27, 2020, 8:28 AM

#

there's definitely a connection between the magnatyrannus and the pc rex

#

we just don't know what yet

vague dome Mar 27, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

magnus is the latin word for great, so magna just stands for great tyrannus

#

we also know that all father and big daddy are the exact same creature

#

just refereed differently by each company

slow delta Mar 27, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

not really

vague dome Mar 27, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

and we also know that they were able to kill big daddy during operation inferno gathering it's dna

#

no really

#

in pc all the rexe's are just clones of big daddy

slow delta Mar 27, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

the console mentioned all father but all the other assets like nova, thronebreaker and alphonse used the normal phoenix international names, so it's safe to assume when they say all father, they mean the actual all father

#

besides b-443 and b-442 died in op inferno, but operation inferno wasn't meant to kill but take the assets. we know this because alphonse survived and was made into a hyper

#

b-443 is big daddy btw

vague dome Mar 27, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

the thing is apollo is a very serious company with a god complex, they probably wouldn't use "big daddy" for a name
also no alphanose was suppose to be used as a base for hypo but was never captured hence still being mia (probably not important but you can see that quetz still fly over one of pce's maps and since to my knowledge alphie is only ever referenced in pce it's safe to say that is a big indicator of them not captured)

slow delta Mar 27, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

pce isnt canon yet

#

also the isle loading screens mention hyper alfie

#

so they got him and then he escaped again

vague dome Mar 27, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

again, i don't remember alfie actually being mentioned in old pc lore

#

when i do my research it only ever appears in pce

slow delta Mar 27, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

not sure either but since he's mentioned here it doesn't really matter

vague dome Mar 27, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

that or the pc community is piss poor at documenting shit

slow delta Mar 27, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

dondi didnt like the idea of pce so it's probably not canon

#

god ikr

can you show me the loading screen btw

also, if Dondi stopped posting "Carnage is Coming" all the time it'd help to make it all look like references and not liek there's an actual link

pale gust Mar 27, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

What if we had not only a danger call for herbies, but a mimic call for carnies. For example, a tenoto 2 calls and a near by utha pack hears the call and they can press 5-6 to make a mimic call to sound just like a tenoto to bring it in closer then ambush the unexacting tenoto

viral cedar Mar 27, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

i mean, theyre small packhunters, they just need the surprise on something

#

a bunch of utahs dont need to lure in a teno, they just need to dogpile on it and stab it until its dead

pale gust Mar 27, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

What about a larger predator?

#

Maybe an allosaurus?

#

Cerato?

viscid shard Mar 27, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Considering the biology I dunno if it wouldn't come across as a little bit unrealistic. Also I don't think carnivores need anymore help hunting.

#

Maybe when there are playable tribals a mimic call could work.

neat thunder Mar 27, 2020, 3:36 PM

Carnivore playstyle is easy. and nobody even uses calls if you play on offical

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm yet to see it. I also know this is a theory channel, but it still remains the most relevant to the subject. Will the lore of The Isle be getting "ret-con"ed or entirely rebooted when EVRIMA is released?

helos don't really fly that high, there's plenty of mountains on the islands

ornate flower Mar 28, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

fair point, though helos can fly pretty damn high

shut remnant Mar 28, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

ye they can, but you generally don't see them flying that high because it takes time to gain height, especially if you're just trying to travel across the island

ornate flower Mar 28, 2020, 2:22 PM

makes sense on the island. all the ones i see here mainly fly high unless they're searching for stuff

although things can just get retconned, it is just tapwing's fan design after all

icy onyx Mar 28, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

Tapwing's fan design can be added to the game at all time
Look at Neuro spino

#

when she became a part of the Dev team, the first thing that was told to us was "her art may or may not be official now, we'll see"

#

or something along those lines

#

Small theory on the mutated tribals.

The tribals were already native to the islands our dinosaurs call home, however when Mercenaries and their buddies came with equipment and gene-altering technology, the tribals suffered.

The tribals were subjected both through the environment and through direct experimentation by Mercenaries to the hyperendocrine strain.

Due to being small proportionately to the dinosaurs and other beasts on the island, they could manage to maintain their hyperendocrine state without threat of starvation, provided they could work in groups to bring down large game.

They may also be in the process of becoming Magna strains, as in the new tribal head art, one side of the face is noticeably normal and less mutated. This could be the reverse however, and they are in the process of becoming even more mutated.

personally i loose a few brain cells every time i come here since each time someone suggests something that was already debunked like tribals being on the island before hand

#

but if you derive some entertainment from that then to each their own

I think you seem a little tied too much into what other peoples are typing and letting it drag you down into a quagmire of sadness from which there is no escape.

anyone know how matriarch died? My personal theory is it was ' with lack of a better word ' shot with a large non nuclear missile. ( explains titan lake.)

Did Matriarch even die?

#

Yeah it did

Give a matriarch enough time and it’ll turn into a Kaiju

digital vale Mar 29, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

Skeleton in the Titan Lake isn't officially Matriarch, that's just an information Isle Wiki made up.

vague dome Mar 29, 2020, 7:43 AM

#

i believe it was referenced as an island walker at one point but that name is less of a dev saying it outright and more of "my friend who's friends friends uncle's friends works for the janitor at dondi's house heard it was called an island walker"

#

as for the matriarch at this point in the lore it hasn't even been replicated into the main testing grounds

#

actually i think this is really important when coming up with theories

#

not everything in the lore is in the past

#

as the game updates we move a little further down the timeline

#

we know this is the case with the dynamic growth

#

this is the most obvious one but there is always the possibility of there being others

tbh, I think that's just a in-universe way to show off dynamic growth and not a literal part of the lore

like seriously, before now the dinosaurs only grew in size and then suddenly at random periods instantly changed how they looked?

and my theory is stupid. If there was an explosion. 1st of all titan's islands wouldn't exist. And second of all the bodies of the island walker/matriarch would be scattered and in many many many tiny shards.

if not completely incinerated from a blast of that magnitude. Nuclear or not.

what’s temporal rna sequencing and how is it lore related

#

ok understand now

patent barn Mar 31, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

temporal probably refers to time

twin vale Mar 31, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

my notion was prior to now it's essentially MGS4, where genes are told to activate or deactivate at a certain point to stimulate rapid changes, brute forcing growth. sort of the rationale for the Grow button but that's not a thing anymore.

icy onyx Mar 31, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

so basically a sped up puberty?

scarlet ivy Mar 31, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

We know that Hypos are sped up pubescent teenagers, so, maybe this relates to unlocking strains.

icy onyx Mar 31, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

Perhaps AE scientists perfected dinosaur growth

scarlet ivy Mar 31, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

Also, theorizing on the rangers, I think AE might have them outfitted with some form of ability dampener to put the strains in a more passive state after a breakout. As you theorized @icy onyx, the strains probably have no idea what is happening to their bodies, instincts and minds. SO- bringing it back around to the first point, the rangers might be outfitted with possibly an extra strength sedative for the Hypos, some form of psychic blocker for the Nueros and possibly a blindfold for the Tissos

#

My reasoning for the Blindfold is that many species of hyperactive predatory animals have been shown to have their stress reduced and heart rate slow to a more calming rate when their eyes are covered

So i have a theory on why herbivores aren't hypers

#

Some herbivores, that are very big like elephants or rhinos spend sooo much of their day eating

#

Just to stay alive like 1/3 of the day is food

#

Hypers use energy fast so they need to eat almost constantly aswell. At least with carnivores, they can smart down a body and the protein will hold them over for a day.

#

With herbivores, if normally something of that size needs to eat for a 1/3 of a day, then with increased metabolic rate they would HAVE to eat all. The. Time.

#

Because of how little nutrients are in grass/plants (there are exceptions like fruit, but in the current version of the game and in the future I suspect there wont be much of that)

#

They wouldn't do a lot of murder if all they could do was eat.

exotic cave Apr 2, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

that honestly makes no sense, pretty sure that their not adding herbi hypos because they're focusing on carnis, plus it would be a waste of time to add a hypo pachy into the game. or really any hypo, it would die of starvation and it would kos for no reason despite being a herbi.

icy onyx Apr 2, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

literally makes ton of sense lmao

#

Hyper herbies would be even less sustainable than hyper carnies

high heath Apr 2, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

Also, they'd be eating more of the enviornment than normal animals.

#

It's likely they'd eat every plant they see, which means other herbivores starve to death.

icy onyx Apr 2, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

Hypo herbis make no sense because it is still a herbi. The only thing that is gonna be pissing itself is a bush

twin crater Apr 2, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

Hyper Herbis make no sense because no herbivore has the aggression needed for hypers to be useful. They’re walking walls of flesh and sinewy hate.

nova bramble Apr 2, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

I mean Hyper herbivores makes sense if you have other Hyper carnos to challenge it every now and then. But im not sure how easy it would be to balance it since something like a Hyper trike would literally just be a living tank.

viscid shard Apr 2, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

Surely any hypo dino would make sense if humans wanted it for military applications?

blissful willow Apr 2, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

not really

#

because it needs to be able to survive for at least a while

#

hypo herbivores would be eating 24/7 and might still starve since plants dont give a lot

#

it wouldnt have the time to go on a rampage

hushed grove Apr 2, 2020, 3:56 PM

hyper herbis would screw other herbis

#

here it is again for those who missed it

📎 unknown.png

#

the console stream said that when op inferno happened, ae took 70 years worth of phoenix international studies

#

which means pi has been operating for at least 70 years

#

i suppose it's safe to assume operation inferno takes place when dondi bought the pc rights

#

since the game lore has meta elements

vague dome Apr 3, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

that was the 4th december back in 2018 by the sounds of it

slow delta Apr 3, 2020, 6:35 AM

which kinda works with the whole magna is the pc rex theory since it happened before the activation

#

wait no

#

it debunks it?

#

how can the magna be the pc rex if AE didn't have the pc rex assets at the time

#

i smell lore retcons

vague dome Apr 3, 2020, 6:36 AM

actually if phinox was established in 1940

#

than it would make sense

#

taking place in 2010

slow delta Apr 3, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

yeah but AE didnt have access to the pc rex

#

if ae did op inferno in 2018 and magna was released in 2017

#

it doesnt add up

#

no for operation inferno

slow delta Apr 3, 2020, 6:37 AM

i dont want all the lore we have managed to scrape together be erased but at this point i feel like phase two needs to reboot the isleverse

#

cause it's conflicting

vague dome Apr 3, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

except it can't

#

since previous game mechanics have been canonised in the lore itself

slow delta Apr 3, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

they could simply say none of this old stuff is cannon and add new hints and lore elements

#

they could keep some stuff

#

but the non meta stuff can easily be removed

#

cause the console stream and olympus transmitter are like a year apart so obviously dondi's ideas for the lore slowly changed over time causing these conflicts in the lore

vague dome Apr 3, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

who knows at this point, the more thats revealed the more it seems like a bunch of parrell universes crashing into each other

my personal theory is that whatever is happening in the story AE has a government contract, like the military arms producers in the US, and some government wants these weaponized dinos

fast rune Apr 8, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

I doubt it. Weponized dinosaurs is such a normalized, boring topic nowadays, and i dont think dondi would approve of it. They might have a government contract, but it will probably be more scientific advancment rather than weapon advancement.

void path Apr 8, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

really you have giant mutant geneticly inhanced predators and you dont think someone has an altirier motive for something like that in story

fast rune Apr 8, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

I believe there is probably an alterior motive. But im really saying i hope it isnt a government wanting them weaponized. That story is so overused its been turned into a clichelé we are to lazy to come up with something original kinda deal.

void path Apr 8, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

i dont have a doubt that the original intent of the AE and whoever hired them in the story was mainly to study the creatures, but i suspect that the company was secretly given some government lab concocted things and a extra payment to improve and test them on the animals and possibly humans and see what the results were

fast rune Apr 8, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

Yes, thats pretty on point. I believe that is going down to an extent. All im saying is i dont want this contract to be the typical "Yes komrade, genetically engineer these dinosaurs to be able to hold the glorious ak-47 and sell them to us!". If it is like a "see how genetically perfect you can make these dinos to further scientific research!" Then heck ya im on board.

where do you guys think cannibals will inhabit on the island? and i wonder what the physical capabilities of these creatures will be compared to that of some other highly athletic creatures.

where do you guys think cannibals will inhabit on the island? and i wonder what the physical capabilities of these creatures will be compared to that of some other highly athletic creatures.
@gilded panther Seeing as humans are a pretty generalist species, I imagine cannibals (which are basically mutant humans) will be found all over the island
Cannibals in deep forests climbing high in the forest canopy, to cannibals that live by the sea diving for fish and other critters.

So B-443 is Big Daddy, right? The "Allfather"? The original Tyrannosaurus clone?? Is it also the Magnatyrannus??????

#

and if so, what on earth was B-442??????????

slow delta Apr 11, 2020, 9:51 PM

i think allfather and big daddy are different entities

b-442 is big daddy

big daddy died in op inferno but allfather survived

#

So quick question, what exactly is all father and big daddy? I literally have no clue where you guys are getting this information from but I am very interested

#

@icy onyx you can get some info in the pinned website and document on what we currently know

#

O h

#

I probably should have checked pinned first so thanks

#

np

#

So basically, phase 5 and phase 6 sounds like doomsday end of the world events

#

This game just got a whole hell of a lot scarier

if they really bombed it that explains sink hole(i think or it might be just too big for any explosive to do that)

thats how the area looks nowadays

now its true that there was the human factor involved in it

and much more

digital vale Apr 13, 2020, 7:22 AM

Hold up, where did you get that information that AE bombed them? From the damage we can see on old PC maps, its more like they freed all the captured dinosaurs who then killed everyone.

slow delta Apr 13, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

Dinosaurs died and from the name its safe to assume it was some kind of napalm bombing

#

Phoenix Internation died from fire. Kinda ironic isnt it

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

If Pheonix international died from napalm bombing, then would that technically mean they might rise again from the ashes, or from a small group that might have survived? then again Im just going off the fact that "Pheonix" is in the name lol

tranquil galleon Apr 13, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

would be pretty bitter sweet

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

Fair enough, but we would have to assume the bombing was fairly recent, no? If so, there wouldn't be as much as time for nature to regrow. So its most likely either it didn't happen or Apollo Engineering sped the process up.

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

Im assuming it was fairly recently due to the fact Phoenix International most likely wouldn't have been able to make dinosaurs in the beginning. This would mean that when Inferno happened, and if we assumed it was a Napalm bombing, it most likely had the force to incinerate the island with a sinkhole of that size. But that is only if we assume that it did cause the sinkhole. That means AE probably worked on regrowing the area before introducing the new dinosaurs to the land after Inferno. But that's most likely wrong.

tranquil galleon Apr 13, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

i doubt AE would set up shop on the remains of PI

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

Your prob right, so who knows

#

maybe something happened that didnt involve AE and somehow the plants just grew back really quickly

cedar sable Apr 13, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

Is there a chance the recode might see a lot of the lore change?

#

Because I'd assume a lot of lore is outdated

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

maybe, that is if we ever get to see the story unfold

#

I theorize that phase 5: Poseidon is just gonna cause the marine reptiles to be released. phase 6: hades may just be the strains or pterosaurs. Either way, both sound like doomsday events

cedar sable Apr 13, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

Yeah true, I remember the description for the isle on steam says that the story is hidden in the game for us to find, but if the game is essentially getting a reboot, so might the lore

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

I just wonder if the representative of the strains will be playable, since according to the lore, there are currently 12 Tissoplastic Reapers playable, Echidna is MIA, and Colossus + Matriarch are in Tartarus

#

excuse me

#

not playable, but on the islands

cedar sable Apr 13, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

Even then if the titans are still going to be a thing

#

Ah well, hopefully the update gives us these answers ^.^

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

indeed

#

though isnt this only phase 2?

#

I still dont know enough about this lore to form my own theory, but im deeply interested by Allfather and Monarch + Alfie

cedar sable Apr 13, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

I do wonder how much the lore will actually affect the new game

#

I guess I wonder if the lore of the old isle will still be relevant to the new

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

most likely

cedar sable Apr 13, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

Hopefully it will, but it'll be interesting to see what gets reconned

icy onyx Apr 13, 2020, 4:08 PM

@vocal violet now, with V3 being scrapped idk how much this statement will hold up but there are some things that point to everything being manmade.

Me and one other guy tried to localize V3 and came up with ~40°N but thats way too south for the amount of aurora borealis activity
This theory might hold up even with removal of V3. Neuro Spino is supposedly able to control weather. At the same time it is able to disable electronics through emp. Now what if the island is surrounded by a dome thats generating fake weather, and the Spino could control it by disabling certain components with its emp?

lavish gyro Apr 16, 2020, 4:44 PM

the dome could also somewhat act as a border, stopping pterosaurs from escaping the island

spare verge Apr 19, 2020, 3:12 PM

When the vision gets weird near certain buildings and AE logo flashes, it reminds me of the matrix. What if the dinosaurs are being brought into existence for humans to profit from, or humans are in the buildings and are wirelessly taking over the consciousness of dinosaurs for some goal or just for sport.

fringe dome Apr 19, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

I just took the weird vision as either security cameras or the dinosaurs being disturbed by the creepy unnatural structures.

jagged flare Apr 19, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

That vision I think, is just some kind of after effect. If you notice there is no more human activity in the isle, which would explain the unfinished construction and abandoned and crumbling buildings, what if the v3 was actually a testing/studies grounds of the resurrected dinosaurs and the genetic experimentation that led to stuff like Hypo and Tisso strands ended up causing the collapse of the research centers and facilities? I mean, each Dinosaur seems to be born with a genetic chip or monitoring of some kind because their health/location/and group or nesting data is always recorded as well as their thoughts and communication patterns.

regal locust Apr 21, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

Alright you isle babies, since it isn't specifically pinned nor in the website, going to put this here for now.

Aside from the obvious themes of revival, replication, and the proverbial statement of "The End is Never the End" within the other pieces of lore (specifically the Olympus Transmitters' tweets). The death screen ingame heavily implies that the movement of one consciousness between bodies is entirely possible. Here are the important parts of the death screens' dialogue on the right hand side. This goes from bottom to top.


< ***transferred 1.3 petabytes in 2.75 seconds***>

< Initializing base pair analysis>

(I'm skipping the DNA/RNA garble here)

< Dinosauria
< Chordata
< Dinosauriformes
< Dinosauria

<Analysis complete>

< Initializing Revivication process> 

< Vat num #443 ready

< Commence revivication>

< Marrow 
< Soft Tissues
< Ultraviolet protection

< ***Initializing data transfer***>

(And it simply transfers the petabytes of data)```

Now, you're wondering, "Zann, what does this possibly mean?".
Simply put, if you google how many petabytes can be stored in human brain it is 2.5 Petabytes. The transfer of petabytes implies that there's a movement of a consciousness or at the very least random data. Granted, you could say that the data itself couldn't be human at all and it's simply just some random data/information that the animal had to use for the animal to start out with, hence the tutorials. I'm no scientist but I don't think that simply because the full capacity of a human mind not being transferred into a new host it just shoots down the idea that it could be a human consciousness. It could be that's all the information stored within that persons' brain, or, the information/data is purposefully being picked by something. This ties into another theory where the replicator (or something) simply picks out the information it deems necessary to acquire. But that's for another time.

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

So speaking roughly, could it be possible that when a dinosaur dies, if it did have the consciousness of a person inside of it, would it not be reincarnated... as the next dinosaur the consciousness chooses to grow as? For example the olympus transmitter states that the "end is never the end"... could it be a completely different take on what we previously thought? we are the conscious mind, but as the dinosaur, we do not remember since Your conscious mind is your objective or thinking mind only... it retains no memory. It only holds one thought at a time. say... eat, kill, survive. Primitive, like a creature, say a dinosaur. Your conscious mind is also continually observing and categorizing what is going on around you. The dinosaurs themselves could be both the data and the observers. :3.

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

ok how do i explain this without it sounding like some dumb scp shit

#

each concious is assigned a profile

#

like a steam profile

#

that profile is assigned to certain creature that is designed to die

#

that profile gets updated with information than assigned a new creature

#

and the cycle repeats it self

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

Linking this to the Transmitter even further: on the 25th October, 2018, Olympus transmitter posted "Phase 2 error, Deploying version etc etc, "your reality may become temporarily unstable". Could it be suggesting the conscience of the creatures as this "reality" becomes unstable is affected too? Would it be some form of analysis if a second phase has started?

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

don't look too far into it

i'm pretty sure the lore is presented in a way that makes it seem like it has a lot of depth

lots of dead ends

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

I just noticed the other day that there were lots of thoughts about conscience and people were linking the creatures and people together in ways that hadnt made sense before. Would the lore exist to confuse us to what the main leads were/could be?

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

i love digging deeper into lore, especially when its things i havent thought of yet.

#

oo. thats spooky.

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

and one where the apollo engineering are littearly gods

#

problem is the lore is so vauge you can interpret it in anyway

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Maybe that is the purpose of the loose ends?

#

To actually create confusion as to the main story xD

#

And what the main lore/story consists of.

#

You're right though, there are way too many parts for it all to be included in the same time lines.

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

it also brings the lore to a stalemate because nobody can agree on anything

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

Maybe we are thinking of it as loose ends, rather than what they need us to think of it as though?

#

Would they create more confusion on purpose or is there a method to the madness.

#

I was trying to work out a time line based theory the other day.

#

One involving things people said about the matriarch.

#

I was doing a lot of reading up on it a while back, and there has been concepts released by Tapwing showing it locked up. Another where it was near computer screens. Both suggesting it escaped in the lab it was created in.

#

This time line is extremely vague.

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

let me just stop you there

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

has been stopped

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

tapwings art before they were hired aint cannon until proven otherwise isn't cannon

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

Oh, i know. Im just saying that the lore that was confirmed is just as unaffected as the stuff that isnt official.

#

What i was trying to say, was even with all that seperate theory/analysis of one animal, and its story line people created.... it doesnt seem to link to anything currently, with the time lines we see.

#

Such as the general creation of the island

#

the experiments.

#

Why create a completely different lore subject when it wouldnt match?

#

It doesnt make sense to me.

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

i don't know, greek mythology perhaps

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

I understand mutations, i understand the observing and research on the creatures... but if each animal, like people have theorised in here, have these "conscious minds" then why create a completely different animal, and let it loose for observation. Now im not sure if anything i can read is confirmed or not due to the smoky glass put up around some of the stuff they work on as Devs.... but it just seems odd no one shut anything down and everything on specifics, such as an organism that can effectively transform whenever it feeds was never clarified.

#

Like with that twitter account a while back. They shut that down because it proved to be nothing more than someone pretending to be a satellite in communication with olympus.

#

But people randomly throwing lore out left right and centre tend to leave a breadcrumb trail, or mistakes. There are normally holes in the general story they create that need to be patched by the public asking questions. Im just wondering what this means for some of the things we dont have as "confirmed" such as the matriarch.

#

Since the lore behind that seems solid-ish anyway.

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

the trojan terminal was an attempt to move the lore forward

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

Mhm.

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

it didn't work because the devs didn't care

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

lol oof.

#

But see what i mean! They allow lore to die if it isnt engaging enough.

#

And in the past they have kept solid roots of lore going by giving it the air time it needs.

#

Like reinforcing the olympus twitter account among the players.

#

All i meant by my earlier questions was that if they are able to cut things like the Trojan terminal out of the lore, why wouldnt they do the same with things people are doubting 🙂

#

On a completely seperate note, i find PunchPackets profile picture of the suspicious seagull extremely intimidating.

#

I think the devs use non serious stuff sometimes as distraction xD

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

the trojan terminal stopped because the guy behind it got bored

#

there was no intervention

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

Ah, but was that for definite?

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

yes

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

hm.

#

but why would it be allowed to start in the first place.

#

i mean, i guess he just made the account.

#

and tried to continue the lore, no?

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

the trojan terminal was made in a time where lore came to a complete hault

gritty peak Apr 21, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

like a dead part.

vague dome Apr 21, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

yeah

#

the guy wanted to intice the devs into pushing out more lore

#

hence the name "trojan"

#

like the trojan horse

icy onyx Apr 21, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

Similiarly to how Khorne managed to get into console, Trojans goal was to see if the devs would communicate with it

slow delta Apr 21, 2020, 6:31 PM

You mean with Genesis? Genesis was supposed to be the original sequel to Primal Carnage, but because of some problems inside the dev team, they reduced the size of the game's content and released is as Primal Carnage: Extinction.

I am pretty sure the dinosaur you're playing as is being monitored and not having a "mind-swap' with a human. Think about the death screen, or the stats menu. Though it would make sense of the mind swap due to the fact they spawn on a beach, but that's really just game mechanic and will be replaced with a cage drop-off I believe.
NO idea if the mind swap thing was confirmed though.

Olympus Transmitter (@AEOlympusTransm)

The unpredictable nature of a profile within the mind of a dinosaur was resolved with an affinity complex. We could not make them do what we wanted, so we convinced them that it was what they wanted.

icy onyx Apr 26, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

I wonder what this could mean, other then the obvious fact of them persuading the dinosaurs to do things that they don't actually want to do. But what would they persuade them to do other then survive? Since its pretty obvious that the dinosaurs would do that on their own. Or maybe they're using them as war machines or something? Or maybe something to do with experiments?-

desert sun Apr 26, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

Or we (the player) just control the dino as though we were it, and it's just observed. Of course, if you must explain away the mechanics as being real life, that doesn't hold up

icy onyx Apr 26, 2020, 4:38 AM

So AE is putting human consciences inside of dinos(assets) minds?

hopping over from general as i'm a complete lore pleb.

do we have any info or theories about why strains were made?

desert sun Apr 26, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

What I recall is that there were some freaky plant spores on the Isle that mutated anything that touched it, either killing it or turning it into a Strain dino

toxic breach Apr 26, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

so nothing intentional about them?

#

why were strain plants made then?

desert sun Apr 26, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

That I do not know. It might be that the plants just grew there

toxic breach Apr 26, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

honestly that would make more sense than the dinos as a weapon theory.

desert sun Apr 26, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

I'd recommend looking at the Wiki. There's a link to some artwork that is absolutely terrifying

#

If they ever make it into the game, we're all boned

#

I like the Tisso Dilo, though

shut remnant Apr 26, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

dinos as weapons theory is almost certianly wrong, dondi personally hates the idea of that

icy onyx Apr 26, 2020, 8:11 PM

Who doesnt hate it? It's probably most likely to do with experiments or what-if scenarios as to test strains or some stuff

humble fern Apr 26, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

bruh

fringe dome Apr 27, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Maybe the dinosaurs are being possessed by Yith who are being rehabilitated to inhabit dinos, and the strains are the result of lovecraftian mutations.

#

It's as good as some other theories :P

vague dome Apr 27, 2020, 4:16 AM

Hypo can’t be a weapon bc it’s hunger would override any orders/training, and would simply kill anything

#

if you shoot a Rex with a shotgun you'll just piss it off

versed light Apr 27, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

you would be surprised on how thick/tough a t rex skull is, it would be able to withstand the bite force of other t rexes and their bite force could be up to 12,800 pounds of force at least and could be higher, The .50 BMG round can produce between 10,000 and 15,000 foot-pounds force (14,000 and 20,000 J), depending on its powder and bullet type, and as well as the weapon it is fired from, i am not sure i shotgun has that much power, @icy onyx

ornate flower Apr 27, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

Rex skull is mostly solid bone, and unlike other theropods, the skull bones are fused

#

no shotgun has that amount of power

fair mural Apr 27, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

it wouldn't do much to a rex except to its skin.

#

which would just make it mad

ornate flower Apr 27, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

now, a heavier weapon, like something you put holes in tanks with? that'd do it

versed light Apr 27, 2020, 6:05 PM

@ornate flower i agree with you on that, but those weapons are super heavy and impractical to move around/carry

hot junco Apr 27, 2020, 6:05 PM

but then again that's clunky and you need to line up a shot

icy onyx Apr 27, 2020, 6:06 PM

plus a charging trex roaring at you might affect the shot

that Lahti gun might do it, but again, big, cumbersome, and loud

hot junco Apr 27, 2020, 6:08 PM

I mean, depends on what weapons are available, I imagine the majority are personnel-friendly to carry around and fire

versed light Apr 27, 2020, 6:09 PM

if i was a merc on a island filled with dinosaurs i would be more afraid of allosaurus then t rex

hot junco Apr 27, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

generally any dino attacking you is scary

versed light Apr 27, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

just because they would be able to sneak up on you easier and and are faster and harder to hit

hot junco Apr 27, 2020, 6:10 PM

the speed estimate for the allo is around 35mp

#

miles per hour

torpid nova Apr 27, 2020, 6:11 PM

I think Utahraptor would be the most terrifying, the combination of speed, stealth and chance of being pounced on from any decently sized bush seems the most terrifying to me.

i see your point

either that or troodon

as far as ik troodons are the size of velos

So many people underestimate the power of guns

tender geyser Apr 27, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

If we want to talk real-world strategies for killing something like a rex, I wouldn't go for a kill shot to the head or body. It'd shrug off most weaponry that a human could reasonably be expected to carry...however, they do have weaknesses that could be utilized by an out-of-the-box thinker.

#

Try tripping it, for example.

#

Setting a trap to trip a rex and break it's leg is going to be far more effective than trying to shoot it with a rifle

high heath Apr 27, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Traps would be a good idea for Mercs

tender geyser Apr 27, 2020, 10:41 PM

sand seal Apr 28, 2020, 8:56 AM

It's why I recommend double-rifles (elephant guns) every time I talk to Para on it.

A stopping rifle is great for a musth bull elephant. It'll work on a rex.

Anyone see the new rav vid with the lore stuff

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

I have a theory on why dinos vision gets all static and blurry around certain building.

Idk if anyone has every discussed this theory before but i think this is something that i like to believe

#

Some buildings were deemed more important than others and around those buildings a certain chemical or pheromone is set in a constant state in that area. A DNA alteration was made in that dinos that could be passed down thru genes, and that alteration makes it very unpleasant for the dino to be around that chemical or pheromone.

cloud shoal Apr 30, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

@gray pilot that's a really cool theory actually

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

Thank you 😄 as far as i know i came up with it all by myself but like i said i wasnt sure it had already been talked about

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

The more I read that, the more sense it makes. That's honestly really cool.

#

I had a little minor theory that it was the buildings had machines that would generate a sorta 'field' on a certain frequency that the dinosaurs can pick up.
Coming into range of the buildings means they're within that field, and that frequency was specifically designed to discourage dinosaurs getting to close.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

I like that idea too

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

Which also leads into the possibility of Neuros either
A. Being immune to it.
or
B. They're especially vulnerable to it.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

The problem with it being a machine would be what if it broke? It wouldn’t be able to cast that frequency anymore giving dinos free range

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

That sorta leads into the possibility of back up machines.

#

Like, a room just chock-full of them.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

If it’s a pheromone or a chemical, that is something engraved into their dna

#

Thats true, companies probably would have backups

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

And like the multiple buildings you see near twins.

#

Each building having their own machine to make a wide perimeter.

#

Which also explains why Radio Tower doesn't give off the same static, because its machine broke down.

#

Though why the rest of it 'works' idk. HypsiShrug

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

Good point, thru my theory with some buildings being ‘more important’ than other sorta ties with what the building was being used for and its location.

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

So like the bird cage lookin' structure would have a more powerful device?

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Radio tower is pretty out of the way and the builders probably assumed it wasnt worth spending the resources to use that chemical there so a fence was the bet the better option

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Course that broke down as well.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

The aviary, they most likely didnt want whatever was inside of it and the things outside of it interacting so the chemical was used there to prevent that

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

Makes me wonder WHAT was in there.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

Same

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

'cause when you look inside, you can see a massive lake.

#

In fact I've been inside it, it's deep enough to submerge a pue up to the base of the neck.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

Maybe it couldve been used as some sort of rehabilitation center or a ‘safe growth’ area for new dinos

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

Possible, but then what about the massive rock spires inside?

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

Sorta like what some zoo’s have

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

..I mean that'd probably be for pterosaurs.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Yeah, it had to have had pterosaurs in it at some point otherwise why would it needed to be as tall as it is if it didnt have things flying around in it

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

True.

#

And dinos like Utahs can't jump to the top, you'd legit have to fly.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Exactly

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

So maybe it was a large multi-purpose container.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

It also maybe was used for testing interactions between certain species

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Have various species interact and see how things play.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Yep

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

'cause remember all the species in the game and coming to the game are from many different periods.

#

We got Kentrosaurs interacting with Magyarosaurs
Tyrannosaurs interacting with Camarasaurs
Pterosaurs interacting with everyone else.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

And since some would have never met in real life, they wanted to research how interactions between them would play out

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

Mhm.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:16 PM

And to keep those meetings in a controlled environment as much as possible, they needed other things to stay away from the outer edges

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

Just because you're from the same period doesn't mean you're from the same place and time.

#

Like let's use Kentrosaurus and Allosaurus.
They would've never met because they're from two different continents all together.

#

But they're both from the Jurassic.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

Or carno and t.rex becauseeven tho they both lived in the cretaceous, they lived on opposite sides of the earth with an ocean between them

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

Exactly.

#

The aviary was probably to test new species before sending them out into the island.

#

i.e. if you have a new cretaceous species, probably test it with other cretaceous species you have and then work your way through other periods.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Fair chance that’s probably it

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

And when you're done, send some individuals out onto the island so they can build up a population like the others.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

It makes me SUPER curious and excited to see what we’ll find on Hope and what can be pieced together from that info

pure zodiac Apr 30, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Oh indubitably, maybe there will be structures with an interior we can explore and place nests.

gray pilot Apr 30, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

Who knows! We’ll just have to wait and see. Then explore all we can

shut cedar Apr 30, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Does anyone know what the attract call is for?

noble orbit Apr 30, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Fancy way of saying Friendly call

shut cedar Apr 30, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

Ah

#

ok

nova bramble Apr 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

all calls are generally just there for the player. They dont affect gameplay....... yet

desert sun May 1, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

U sure? If you call, half the map will hear you

shrewd chasm May 1, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

lol ofc they effect gameplay

#

sound system is actually really good

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

Anyone see the new rav vid with the lore stuff
@placid harness The one with Para talking about Æ and stuff? If so then yeah. I like they’ve taken the “mysterious umbrella company” approach rather than just another “dinos in military ooga booga” JW plotline

placid harness May 1, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

I like it too

#

How he specified "they make your shampoo and gmo food" really demonstrates the extent of influence they have in the world

#

It'd explain how they'd have the resources to, you know, transfer human consciousness via technology

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

I wonder how far they’ll go with it. Perhaps we’ll get some SCP D-Class level stuff with governments influenced by Æ just sending off their prisoners to be used for testing and shit

#

And then there’s the PMC who signed the “thousand life contract” which makes me feel like there’s some sort of consciousness transfer for them too

#

I wonder for the appeal if it’s basically like “you can live forever but you’re on this horrific jungle island filled with horrific ways you can keep dying”

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

That's what I was thinking

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

I mean obviously Æ wants more from them too probably but that would be the main selling point

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

We can give you immortality and literally whatever life you ever wanted, but you have to go through Dante's Inferno and back for us first

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

Yeah

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

That's an enticing offer

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

We also don’t know how far in the future this is right?

#

I mean Primal is like 2020s iirc (or 2040s I can’t remember) so obviously it’s after that

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

Now the part that intrigued me

#

Is that paradym said their main purpose was not "ooga booga weaponry sell for war"

#

So there is a higher purpose that life itself is being tampered with for some reason

#

Perhaps it will be a scenario where it could literally split the player base on whether or not AE are the good guys or the bad guys
and that could shape in game faction relations too

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some sort of corrupt CEO or even like a “cult” (like the UAC from Doom) in the higher ups of Æ looking to use all this as research to live forever?

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

That's the thing too

#

AE themselves might even be split on it

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

And then if the replicator is still a thing, where that all comes into it?

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

I kinda see the replicator as - "Hey, we built God." and that could have lead to some existential disagreements and stuff

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

Let’s say the “cult” thing is real, perhaps the humans that get turned into the tribals (assuming the tribals aren’t raised from childhood) are lower level volunteers who want to worship the replicator as their chance of immortality?

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

Could be

#

Imagine if you literally built a godlike machine

#

Do you submit yourselves to gain excellence or do you think its a bad idea?

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

In that case then the old tweets from 2018(?) would have more of a place to fit in, considering that’s still relevant. Then there’s all those Greek mythology pseudonyms if they’re still a thing?

#

Also yeah no doubt there’d be a split

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

If you ask me, we're living a creation story lol

#

Or destruction

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

Sometimes I wonder how often Dondi momentarily stops by here just to laugh at us putting together what tiny scraps of info we have

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

Or maybe he goes back into his google doc and changes things to something he sees that he likes in here

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Maybe, but pretty sure he’s said he’s had the whole thing in his head for a long time

#

But who knows

#

Perhaps a nice lore-friendly way to implement a second merc faction far into development if that ever becomes a thing would be to make them like an opposition group maybe (e.g Chaos Insurgency) filled with scientists etc who left/escaped after disagreeing with the whole Replicator stuff, maybe even ex-Phoenix employees who survived Operation Inferno?

#

Perhaps give them tasks to like capture specimens or disrupt operations and shit maybe?

#

Or steal data and stuff

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

I think we're going to have the ability to make our own factions, kinda like how dinosaurs can make their own packs / groups

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

No doubt that’ll happen too

#

Perhaps when mods are a thing that would be a round-based game mode somebody comes up with

placid harness May 1, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

I've always been of the opinion that it'd be like a matrix scenario with the mercs

#

Follow AE's orders and carry out your tasks for rewards
Or deviate from this path and see how far this rabbit hole goes

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

Yeah probably

#

I’m looking forward to the “environment-based storytelling” that’s always been talked about, can’t wait to go explore some abandoned facility to see what fucked up experiments went on in there

summer helm May 1, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

Wasn't there something once about the dinosaurs being the trapped minds of the former AE staff of the Isle

#

I believe Don teased that the dinos are a endlessly reincarnated ecosystem, which is how we explain away respawn

#

Was quite a long time ago however in retrospect

edgy pike May 1, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Yeah that’s the consciousness transfer stuff everyone is on about

#

Someone analysed the death screen which mentions something about large amounts of data almost at human brain levels being “uploaded” or something (you’ll have to scroll a fair bit to find it I think)

summer helm May 1, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

Imagine a immortal purgatory of eternally being born and dying as various animals

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

But then what would explain the Strains then?

#

Would they just be errors along the way.. or a rival company taking their coding to make monsters?

#

Or hell what about the Matriarch and the Strain Mascots (Colossus, Reaper, Mastermind)?

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

project hades shows they weren't accidents

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

So they were deliberate.
But then what about the Mascots?

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

remember everything ae does is very deliberate

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

Would they have like a 'controlling' mind or something?

#

Like.. every strain is some sorta hivemind.

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

neuros have a hive mind

#

that's already been confirmed

#

and hypos are just giant mops

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

Oh right, forgot.
Then what about Hypers and Tisos?

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

used to clean up

#

and tissos at this point just don't exist at this point

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

~~I'm legit tryna refrain from saying hypo because it's actually incorrect~~

#

Well what about their mascots, minus Mastermind.

#

Would Colossus be like their 'alpha' or somethin?

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

their humans that have been affected by strains

#

echinda shares a lot of the tribals and the eyeless things

#

and colossus is mia

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Oh yeah, Cannibals are the tribal people.

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:09 PM

Oh yeah that's an odd thought I've had.
Ok so.

#

If Matriarch is canon. What would she really be made out of?

#

I mean she should be somewhat canon, given the older loading screens.

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

the matriarch is in a sense the epitome of what ae is aiming with the dinosaurs

#

evolution

#

the creature that is born when you play god

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

Oh here's the screen.

📎 db0d0e9ab2272f1f577afddfe90fe800.png

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

read carefully

#

compound in this instance is just referring to a facility

#

context matters

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

True, but that would mean that whatever they were trying to take back was using the compound for shelter.

#

And they were using something else to track it.

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

it's already been stated that all living things on the island have trackers

pure zodiac May 1, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

Or maybe I'm reading it wrong..

vague dome May 1, 2020, 9:18 PM

thats why the stat screen exists

and why your able to even see your coordinates

@vague dome How did u make the food water and stamina colored like that on the bottom right? i wanna know how to do that

@green holly that’s from an old version of the game

ember vine May 2, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

how do hatchlings have trackers

#

like independently bred hatchlings

barren kelp May 2, 2020, 7:09 PM

I think it's been mentioned that nested offspring lack the trackers, and that it's the benefit of being nested in

Never trust wiki, we don't currently know what it actually is.

tranquil galleon May 3, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

True

#

The wiki isn’t official so..

pure zodiac May 3, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

Wiki is good in terms of figuring out what in game stuff is.
i.e. growth times, food consumption rates, etc.
But not really good for lore.

vital tree May 3, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

So I saw in Ravs video that Dondi said that name of the new island is related to Spero. There’s a popular Italian saying that goes “as long as there is life, there is hope.” (Spero meaning hope in Italian), so I think the new island will be called Isla Vita, which is Italian for life.

tawdry sand May 3, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Ur on to something

icy onyx May 3, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Has anyone figured out the names of the other islands yet?

#

📎 image0.png

#

There’s a saying:
“There’s no life without hope”
Spero = Hope
Life = Vita
Possible Isla Vita confirmed?

tawdry sand May 3, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Also

#

Spero italian

#

Evrima greek

#

Vita Italian

#

That makes sense to me

pliant marten May 3, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

French name?

celest marten May 3, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

Spero is not spanish at all

icy onyx May 3, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

Spero is Italian

celest marten May 3, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

yes

icy onyx May 3, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

It’s worth mentioning that the entity that came up with the title EVRIMA may not be the entity responsible for giving each island its name, the islands more than likely predate any corporation or entity in the game.

#

Therefore their name’s may also follow suit.

nova bramble May 3, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Latin proverb: Dum Spiro Spero (While I Breathe, I Hope)

icy onyx May 3, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

True spero actually translates to “I hope.” Spe translates to “hope.”

nova bramble May 3, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

italian translation for Breathe is respirare

#

Breathe could also be another way to say life

coarse hare May 3, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

Where do you think Isle Spero is ? With new eucalyptus, wouldn't it be around australia ?
