Fjodur idek how many
silent matrix
when i say gen2 isnt bigger than base game i dont mean the map, i mean content
wispy frigate
sure if you wanna go by that measurement
severe matrix
HEY
I need help here
wispy frigate
when i say gen2 isnt bigger than base game i dont mean the map, i mean content
so do i. again, 1.5x more dinos and the island doesnt even have missions
silent matrix
It essentially makes building better
wispy frigate
youre just ignoring what im saying
narrow mortar
Ok so
silent matrix
what tf are we even talking about anymore tbh im lost
yeah the base game bigger than dlc
wispy frigate
youre going on about some nonsense, idk
narrow mortar
Fjodur has 8 bosses right?
zinc tusk
It essentially makes building better
is it on the steam workshop?
narrow mortar
If all those bosses stay, then there will be like 18 base game bosses
silent matrix
is it on the steam workshop?
Yes
dlc is just a content add to a game, and shouldnt be bigger, which is why genesis 1 shouldnt have 6 bosses
narrow mortar
Why shouldn’t it tho
severe matrix
5 bosses
narrow mortar
Why cant it
wispy frigate
Fjodur has 8 bosses right?
they arent keeping all of them
severe matrix
Probably not
silent matrix
Why shouldn’t it tho
because its downloadable content, not an entirely new game
wispy frigate
dlc is just a content add to a game, and shouldnt be bigger, which is why genesi...
why not when it already has missions and teleportation and tons of new resources and dinos and higher levels and so much more than the island
narrow mortar
Gen2 adds a lot more then the base game does imo lol
wispy frigate
agreed
silent matrix
not at all
narrow mortar
Engrams don’t really count because of certain server settings
silent matrix
engrams, dinos, tekgrams, base game has way much more
silent matrix
and it sjust called S+
Structures +
severe matrix
OH BOO HO
Gen2 is bigger both physically and data size
Get over it
Gen2 literally had at least 75% of the entire game not just the base game
narrow mortar
I really dont see the issue with genesis 1 having 6 bosses
silent matrix
genesis 1 and 2 have more mechanics but the base game has more content in total
narrow mortar
5 mini bosses and 1 main boss
zinc tusk
Structures +
Is there a mod that increases the drop rate of items, wanna get familliar with the game but i dont wanna take forever either
severe matrix
Fuck it I'm leaving this conversation
Someone ping me when they can help me solve my issue
silent matrix
5 mini bosses and 1 main boss
it depends on how mini the bosses are tbh if its full on moeder type bosses then no, if its stuff like x broodmother then sure
silent matrix
Is there a mod that increases the drop rate of items, wanna get familliar with t...
No. You would have to mess with your settings to change that
narrow mortar
Staged boss fights and normal boss fights aren’t really much different
They just have minions
silent matrix
what is a staged boss
wispy frigate
genesis 1 and 2 have more mechanics but the base game has more content in total
theres what, 150 missions? the island has none of that
narrow mortar
The type of boss moeder is dumbass
silent matrix
moeder is a boss
severe matrix
All of the Rockwell fights are stage
silent matrix
what makes a boss staged
severe matrix
Do this to shoot the boss
narrow mortar

im sure theres one out there, go search on steam
silent matrix
Do this to shoot the boss
oh okay i get you
silent matrix
sad
You shouldn't tho. If you are new you should play through it properly but I recommend increasing offset to 1 and then increasing tame speed to like 5
severe matrix
1 do this
2 do this next
3 shoot
4 repeat
silent matrix
thanks for the explanation
severe matrix
That's stage boss fights
narrow mortar
Normal boss fight you go in guns blazing and kill it immediately, staged boss fights have rounds, like with moeder you kill her minions and she comes out for a certain amount of time
wispy frigate
what makes a boss staged
boss is immune
do a task
boss becomes not immune. damage boss
repeat until boss dies
narrow mortar
Rinse and repeat

Sadly with tamed ravagers you can't get there bleed. Only wild ravagers have bleed. Also the wild raptors on aberration have the ability to pull you off your mount. Literally the only raptors in the game that can do that

just gonna have to hope I don't encounter any ravagers or raptors for now

haha. I died like 100 times before I was finally able to build a small 3x3 box to live in

In blue zone you can get a crap ton of metal but that is where you will find megalosaurs and you must have a light pet in there otherwise the nameless will attack you

Island is boring. I don't have fun on it. I have a few good tames but I just don't feel like it.
I'll just deal with it, since I can't get anywhere on anything else.
wispy frigate
has it been announced how we need to tame all the new dinos?
amarga - drink some soup to match its temperature, walk around and passive tame. repeat
monkey - kill the rest of its pack to gain the alpha's trust
sino - i believe just a regular passive tame
upbeat charm
I'll just go back on island. I need to set myself a goal.
scarlet totem
Haha island really is the training wheel map bro
ocean hemlock
Had a hell of a time with my first life on abberation ngl
Was successfully baited by the Portal
Woke up to the sound of a screaming Geiger counter and was killed by a couple raptors in a record-breaking 10 seconds or less
scarlet totem
Goals: bosses, all explorer notes, tek cave
You'll need to build a rex army, want some nice birds and farm dinos
silent matrix
amarga - drink some soup to match its temperature, walk around and passive tame....
i thought amarga was you hunt with it
yeah im pretty sure sino is passive tame with chitin
scarlet totem
Youll learn to tame high lvl tames, learn how to run caves and get their loot, learn breeding perhaps get a mutation or 2
Get to actual tek tier
And get extra levels
wispy frigate
yeah im pretty sure sino is passive tame with chitin
why
it hates chitin
wispy frigate
i thought amarga was you hunt with it
i think thats part of the thing ye
silent matrix
it attacks anything with chitin
wispy frigate
exactly
silent matrix
if u wear chitin it attacks you
upbeat charm
I know. Right now I'm trying to figure out what to do that isn't long term. Something short. Maybe I could start getting the better weapons. Like an semi auto shotty, compound bow, etc. And get tranq darts finally.
ocean hemlock
Also question
Do I actually have to beat the Broodmother?
Cuz the notes are implying that previous survivors got a copy of whatever loot it was guarding already, and I'm wondering if it's possible to just find theirs
wispy frigate
would you want to be tamed with broccoli?
upbeat charm
I'll upgrade all my gear first, then decide how to proceed. It'll probably be taming cave dinos afterwards. A baryonyx or two, maybe a thyla if I'm risking it.
wispy frigate
Also question
Do I actually _have_ to beat the Broodmother?
Cuz the notes are im...
you dont have to do anything
thats the point of a sandbox game
silent matrix
id imagine that if something eats bugs no matter what type of bug it is it would be tamed with chitin
scarlet totem
So starting base location > starting tames > better base > good farming tames > learn and beat all caves > get boss dinos ready > beat bosses > unlock tek > beat tek cave and you FINISHED the island@upbeat charm
silent matrix
ig we will see on tuesday, we already know it is a normal passive tame tho, and iirc its skittish
wispy frigate

theres a difference between eating something and freaking out about it
scarlet totem
And dont forget to HAVE FUN
upbeat charm
So starting base location > starting tames > better base > good farming tames > ...
I'm about.. before the learn and beat all caves.
wispy frigate
again, would you want to be tamed with broccoli?
scarlet totem
Well there you go now you know what to aim for next 🙃
upbeat charm
I have good farming dinos, just need to utilise them for better gear.
wispy frigate
it attacks anything with chitin so it probably likes chitin
no, it hates chitin
ocean hemlock
Idk, all the bugs I've tamed (and I've tamed a lotta bugs) just accept compost
The rotten meat that's always building up in my inventory cuz I have way too much food on-hand tends to satisfy them
silent matrix
also perry this isnt real life its ark, doesnt have to make sense, if it auto attacks chitin id imagine its taming is related to it
scarlet totem
Baryonyx op, thyla is fun, bear fits some caves, saber or wolfs will do the easy ones with a lot of downtime healing
upbeat charm
so baryonyx it is.
ocean hemlock
so cave dinos it is. hmm..
Just a warning
Literally everything in those caves can tranquilize
Keep a healthy supply of stimberries in your hotbar at all times if you're going in there
upbeat charm
time to build a 3x3 pen and hope my argie can carry one.
upbeat charm

I know, I'll probably be riding my tames anyway, so it's them that'll be getting tranqed
crisp merlin
can you not place catapults on celings?
ocean hemlock
can you not place catapults on celings?
I mean
The way catapults work would make that moderately inefficient
upbeat charm
Time to make this pen and find a level 100 - 120 baryonyx. (level cap is 120)
ocean hemlock
Oh wait, you mean on top of them, not hanging upside down
crisp merlin
obviously

I've found siege artillery like that needs at least a 2x2 space if that helps

scorpions are weak
and either way, if its a low level that means it isnt decent at all, unless its a giga

My toughest one's like level 60
ocean hemlock
I've had like 15 over time and I've named them all after shit cuz their main job is to protect my dung beetles lol
scarlet totem
@upbeat charm should get a male and female and breed them preferably
And imprint the baby for some of the rougher caves
wispy frigate

theyre bad at their job
lvl 60 is complete trash
ocean hemlock
I mean that's on the high end of what appears in the cave I've based in
But yeah, sometimes I wonder if level even matters
Had like a level 40 one get torn apart by a pack of spiders that didn't have any higher than level 15 among them
wispy frigate
40 is even worse
ocean hemlock
Another one in its 50s lost to about 3 boas that had half that amount combined
wispy frigate
you want 120+ pretame for something to be even remotely decent
ocean hemlock
Been investing all their points into health and providing them with saddles for protection and it's helped somewhat
wispy frigate
heres a better idea
get something thats actually good
and then breed it
and imprint it
ocean hemlock
I'm recruiting locally, ok
Haven't made any cryopods yet so idk how I can expect to get something tough like a megatherium into the tiny entrance to my home cave
wispy frigate
make cryos, theyre cheap

Whenever I think to it's always when I don't have any metal bars on me

So.. I've got tranq darts and a longneck rifle, so it's time to grab myself a level 100+ bary. If I can find one in the first place.

"convenience" is looting crates, not saving them to craft stuff that you can easily craft anyways
ocean hemlock
Those crates don't have anything useful in them anyway
Another pair of cloth shoes and blueprints for a stone pick
wispy frigate
Would that make me the leader since im king potato
youll have to ask country on that one

I know, but it's gonna take a bit of searching to find a 100+ one lol

Spears for emergencies/fighting arachs
Cuz here's my hot take, spears are useful later-game for fighting arachs specifically
Since they don't follow the normal durability system and can stack on top of that you don't have to worry about your firepower spontaneously combusting mid-fight (cuz yes, contrary to what you might believe they can break weapons)
Not hitting very hard is a bit of a drawback
But it's better than your fists
silent matrix
Cool
ocean hemlock
Primitive+ or whatever is really helpful for making fighting on-foot more viable tbh

It says that the argie can pick up a baryonyx, but can it really? It's not working for me rn. I found a level 100 on my first try.

Whip?

Nah spears suck just use a pike

I can't get 135s. 120 is the max.

Yes

I'm on xbox.
ocean hemlock
My point was that
Yes, other weapons hit harder than spears
But for fighting arthros specifically their stacking ability and different way of calculating durability mean that those things can't break them like they can everything else
It's a tiny niche but it's a niche nonetheless
silent matrix
I'm on xbox.
Same

wispy frigate

But for fighting art...
arthros cant break weapons for one
and for two, spears suck. period
guns are so much better
and fighting any creature with melee is a bad idea
ocean hemlock
Idk, the ones I fight always leave me with an empty hotbar
Idk if my luck is just consistently terrible or what
silent matrix
@upbeat charm u on sp?
wispy frigate
Now Dino max level is 150. I changed it.
how exactly did you change it
upbeat charm
Using the max difficulty setting
wispy frigate
is the slider at 1?
upbeat charm
yes.
wispy frigate
good, most people dont understand how sp difficulty works
upbeat charm
Nice.
And my search for a baryonyx has been stopped because of a level 100 spino which my Carno can't kill.
silent matrix
@upbeat charm use DestroyWildDinos so lvls reset
upbeat charm
in fact, nothing I have can kill that spino.
scarlet totem
Time to tame the spino then 🤷
upbeat charm
e h.
scarlet totem
Destroywilddinos can fuck respawns
silent matrix
Otherwise the old lvls stay unless u kill like 1000 creatures
scarlet totem
For a while
upbeat charm
I'll try and tame the spino, it's gonna be difficult though. Can it fit into a 2x2 ramp pen?

it's just tedious. I don't have the patience for it.

Added another scorpion to my growing army
This one's young, only a measly level 5
But I'm hoping I can raise it up into a strong fighter
I ain't following the meta at all if you couldn't tell lol
wispy frigate
a lvl 5 is not and will never be a strong fighter
ocean hemlock
I mean the way I see it
The lower the level when you find it, the more customization options you have
What's the cap again? 150?
See, it's working if nothing else through strength in numbers
My growing force just held off an attack by a couple arthros without my help

sure you can specialize in health and melee, but levels are % based. the higher the base stat the more you get out of each level. resulting in terrible levels getting terrible amounts per level
