well whatever is at my base is usually not something that has prime meat, i dont like going for stuff like rexes or paracers because they take so long to kill with average tames.

long flicker
#

yeah I was more so referring to OP tames rather than average times

#

anyway,
that's not the point

#

for prime?

static fjord
#

i mean if you were looking at say the bog, you could easily get enough slots of meat for your trough before you get clogged with prime.

#

*and hide too

pastel latch
#

thanks the health and melee are reasonable now

static fjord
#

i have so much hide i sometimes just drop it because im too lazy to store it outside of my smithy.

@grave needle sorry for the mention, mate. But I just tamed a high level Crab with absolute ease! Check nooblets video. With %100 efficiency. The trap is super super easy to make and cheap. Wanted to let you know if you ever want to tame a crab again in the future. It took 15 boulders

static fjord
#

another easy method is using a net gun

long flicker
#

still don't like nooblets

#

first impressions matter ig

static fjord
#

nooblets is amazing you just watched the single wrong video he has ever posted.

long flicker
#

exactly

static fjord
#

to be fair thats also (mainly) why i dislike captainfatdog

#

karkinos taming is easy until the second you call it easy, then the karkinos will start doing whatever it can to fuck up your tame

long flicker
static fjord
#

dont remember, its been a long time

#

all i remember is the dino escape though it might have been a mistake on my end and i never realized

pastel latch
#

is there a setting that makes wyverns not land when u dismount? lol

static fjord
#

whistle them, they'll stop landing

#

if you whistle follow a wyvern when on its back it'll think its following you so it wont move in the air

it works thank u!!

#

Are Karkinos breedable now?

static fjord
#

no

pastel hemlock
#

🥲

static fjord
#

you dont really need them to be breedable, theyre pretty amazing as is.

#

For their one purpose they are OP Enough as is

theyre extremely good for transport early game on aberration if that wasnt one of the points.

@sick quiver if you get yourself a high level moschop, pump all levels into melee and level up his organic poly gathering skills ypu can get thousands of polymer real quick from them.

They give the highest organic polymer in the game

static fjord
#

they mean as in kill karkinos for organic polymer

#

Anyone here knows muchabout building ?

#

Hello everyone what does “cross-play” on steam unofficial server mean exactly? Just transfer between maps or

static fjord
#

it means epic games players can join the server as well

silent matrix
#

Like Xbox? Or just windows version

static fjord
#

xbox and windows cant join steam afaik

tough yarrow
#

Only Steam and Epic Games versions.

silent matrix
#

Oh okay ty

sick quiver
pastel hemlock
static fjord
#

but are they

#

have people actually tested moschops vs chainsaw.

sick quiver
#

Its not even worth the attempt

pastel hemlock
#

Yes, I've seen a video on YouTube. A moschop with high melee is super good.

sick quiver
#

Moschops can get bonus points into Organic Polymer harvesting and their Melee Damage scales with it.

#

They can harvest a whole Karkinos in a single right click and chainsaw ur gonna be a sitting duck

static fjord
#

what do you mean sitting duck it takes 10 seconds

#

it would take longer unpodding and repodding a moschops.

pastel hemlock
#

I use moschops everywhere. Best gatherers imo. I have one for each resource. Mushrooms, rare flowers leech blood, sap, and polymer.

long flicker
#

can't fight tho

pastel hemlock
#

@long flicker if you are mounting it, and it's a breeded one you can kill a wild rex. I have a pretty good breed.

#

357 poping

static fjord
#

theyre so inconvenient though, imagine being in the bog about to be slaughtered by 15 different creature and then you just casually throw out a moschops, seems easier to just use a chainsaw.

long flicker
#

they're useful in certain situations

pastel hemlock
#

I literally get thousands of rare mushrooms and thousands of rare flowers in a matter of minutes.

static fjord
#

i mean if i was in my base i'd use one.

long flicker
pastel hemlock
#

I haven't tested this on official but cuz my rates are ×2. I'll try them today on official

static fjord
#

you can use a megachelon to passively produce that stuff

long flicker
#

good berry gatherer in a swamp and stego on ab, I don't ever need them again

sick quiver
pastel hemlock
#

@long flicker sap, leech blood, thousands and thousands of fiber, and moat importantly poly

static fjord
#

but is a chainsaw that much more inefficient if youre going through a river killing karkinos and need to wait out cryo timer everytime to make sure your moschops doesnt die.

long flicker
#

sap - gachas
leech blood - swamp cave
fiber - what isn't good at getting fiber
poly - really, crabs are everywhere
I'd rather kill them quicker rather than harvest them quicker and get grabbed and killed by one

sick quiver
#

Cryo Timer? lolwhat,

long flicker
static fjord
#

to be fair who even needs leech blood and sap in bulk.

sick quiver
#

A Karkinos is going to grab you and slam you to the ground and break your head before u can even retaliate with a chain saw

pastel hemlock
#

@long flicker well, yeah. But all of them aren't as efficient as a dedicated moschop

static fjord
#

im going to be on a dino?

paper nimbus
#

Who tf uses a chainsaw as a melee weapon

long flicker
long flicker
#

leech blood is used for nothing but antidote

static fjord
#

tbf you can substitue it for ammonite bile which is literally everywhere in gen 1

long flicker
#

moschops are good but they aren't the "best of the best"

pastel hemlock
#

@long flicker just kill it and throw a moschop at it. He'll automatically eat it. And he's gonna give u three times more resources.

long flicker
static fjord
#

my point is if im constantly throwing out my moschops, im going to need to wait out cryo timer which would make it less efficient poly gatherer over an x amount of time, ive yet to claim that theyre definitely worse or on par with chainsaws per corpse

silent matrix
#

Suddenly, the entire save building items disappeared, only lvl was left
what should I do?

sick quiver
#

What are u implying with this cryo timer, u talking about cryo sickness or to just move it somewhere else?

long flicker
willow arch
#

Sorry to interrupt, however, what would be anybody's recommendations fro running The Hunted mod please?

long flicker
#

keeping a moschops out on ab (or any karkinos infested place) is a pretty bad idea

pastel hemlock
#

@static fjord I honestly juat ride mine and whistle my dinos to kill a crab. Mantis I kill them with ease using my super moschop. I juat like them tbh honest. They're xool

sick quiver
#

I would just ride the moschops there, and keep an extra dino out

#

Personal rule I keep when farming in hostile areas is to bring a guard dino regardless

static fjord
#

do you bring a lance too, would be pretty cool if youre a knight in shining armour about to go feast on crabs with your weird looking creature

sick quiver
#

lances need to be removed from the game, pointless

static fjord
#

theyre fun though

pastel hemlock
#

@static fjord oooi, moschops are cool, man. They ain't weird. They're cute. Lol

static fjord
#

im not sure how to describe them.

#

fat quadrepedal raptor.

I think the reason I love them is because they were my first tame. Tgey saved my ass a lot of times when starting out and finding one. Makes the start super easy

Moschops are good for gathering but not necessary. It’s good in the sense “oh I have a moschops on me I can use that”, not “bring the moschops everywhere in every situation

so the original save is there but everything got wiped without creating a new savefile?

do you know what could have caused it.

I heard it might be due to the game shutting down incorrectly

but this is impossible

I don't believe ark works like that

@static fjord I just found a way to get unlimited biotoxin in Ab. Accidentally, actually. And guess what, you use a freaking moschops

Just park him near the cursed mushroom, don't know what it's called, and he'll passively gather them.

static fjord

thats cool, but what if i stepped 2 metres deep into the ocean.

pastel hemlock
#

Huh, what are you talking about?

static fjord

im joking about the fact that cnidaria swarm you as soon as you enter the ocea

Ooh. Yeah, that's in the ocean. Here in ab is much easier to get. No, actually the easiest place to get biotoxin is the island. Thier dead bodies are floating everywhere

static fjord

but theres cnidaria in ab too.

pastel hemlock

@static fjord really? Where?

I'm actually talking about the poisonous mushrooms. Park a moschop next to it and he'll keep gathering them infinitely.

yeah i know, does it work when the moschops is unrendered? cause if so thats kinda revolutionary.

it has to be rendered

why does my wild bloodstalker refuse to eat my dinos.

pastel hemlock
#

@static fjord do you play sp?

static fjord
#

yes.

pastel hemlock
#

@static fjord do your dinos need to be rendered in order to mate and lay eggs? For some reason, now they don't lay eggs unless I'm close to them and that's a pain in the butt

Like I go out and explore for hours and return to see that they haven't laid a single egg

Is it worth using 2 mutators when breeding. The only downside I see of using more than 1 is the risk of one of the mutations being in the wrong and right stat therefore messing up a clean stack

placid sundial
grim narwhal
#

yea

placid sundial
#

It's only 1 mutation and just +2/+4 etc to a stat iirc

#

So yes, it's worth it, that's not an issue

grim narwhal
#

oh wait really?

#

so if i use 3 mutators i'll get plus 6?

placid sundial
#

Provided I'm remembering right-it's been a while- yes

grim narwhal
#

i've been wasting so much time only doing 1 at a time then xD

long flicker
#

I don't use S+ so I'm stuck just having to breed for 5 years ;-;

#

but I have chair of the impatient anyway

grim narwhal
#

im using ss btw not s+ so there might be small differences

placid sundial
long flicker
#

nah I'm fine with it
it's not THAT much RNG with slomo 10 and a lot of breeders

#

if anything I'd rather decrease the RNG with finding good stats

placid sundial
#

That's what RC does

long flicker
#

oh

grim narwhal
#

i play on a server so can't change configs

#

i might test it on singleplayer

placid sundial
# long flicker oh

You can change the mutation chance, and the amount of rolls for the mutation. It's a more natural feeling way of reducing mutation rng, I'm using it on my server

#

I think there's another setting for the mutations but I don't remember it

long flicker
#

no that's what I said, I'm fine with mutations since my current method makes them not as much of an issue
but finding good stats out in the wild is what's really annoying

#

sure, I could just mutate more
but I don't want to
because I'm stupid

grim narwhal
placid sundial
long flicker
#

I see

long flicker
placid sundial
#

But the time spent mutating is so much longer than taming

long flicker
placid sundial
#

Nah 55 is pretty damn good

long flicker
#

oh I only saw the 51

#

55 is like probably 45 or something on a non tek, damn

placid sundial
long flicker
#

as in do other shit?

placid sundial
#

Yeah

#

So i don't see how it's different

long flicker
#

idrk, I guess I prefer sitting down and breeding over going out and taming? I'm weird

placid sundial
#

yep

#

Taming is more interactive and varied for me, breeding is more of just a repetitive process

#

And takes waaaaaay longer

long flicker
#

join the slomo gang and it won't

#

chair of the impatient should use some kind of fuel

placid sundial
#

Bob I ended up setting my 15 rexes to get 10 levels per mutation with a cd of 8-20 seconds

#

It still took ages

long flicker
#

well yeah I'm not going to 250, I'm going to 80

placid sundial
#

And I'm gunna redo them because it feels cheatyyyyyyy

long flicker
#

join the slomo gang!

placid sundial
long flicker
#

because perfectionist nature?

placid sundial
#

Kinda

#

I'm not good at.. stopping, when I start mutating

#

This gives me a solid end point that's not op

long flicker
#

I see

#

I don't mutate that much so I guess I'll probably change my thinking to be the same as you when I do start doing it seriously

grim narwhal
#

@placid sundial just been told and tested that the mutations will be on different stats

placid sundial
#

Cause there was no way I was consistently getting 5 rolls onto the same stat on my rexes

#

Well, thanks for letting me know

of course

there's a button next to your world to delete your world

#

you can also delete all singleplayer data

what about creating a new world without deleting ur current one

so most people here won't properly know how it works

Trees provide wood and thatch, rocks provide stone and flint. You can use different tools to collect different materials from each resource.
Most tools, items, buildings, and saddles require these items.
Rocks can rarely give metal ore, which you can smelt into better tools and saddles.

Use narcotic and narcotic arrows to knock out dinosaurs, with bigger and better dinos requiring more arrows to tranquilise.
Some dinos are carnivores and need meat, some are herbivores and like berries (the purple ones are best).

placid sundial

Another question, how does the genisis work, I know you can complete missions but what all does it give from a more PVP and competitive aspecrt

long flicker
#

very easy element, strong dinos, and great loot

#

and also gambling

worldly crest
#

gambling?

#

I don't know about Gen 1 but Gen 2's missions provide buffs like taming efficacy and baby maturation

you can buy loot crates that can give you good shit
but it's only a chance, so ✨ gambling ✨

and so what are the strong dinos, I know bloodstakers are quite good but anything else, It seems to me the whale isnt all that good and gets outclassed by other flyers and the little bear guy is cute and fun but again isnt as good

astrocetus are really cool looking decorations
that's about it

Dont do everything at once as you still need to breed dinos

Get your dinosaur breeding pair, get breeding for mutations and do all your tasks

Out of curiosity, ightning wyverns have higher dps than gigas from what I can tell, so why are gigas so popular? The health pools aren't huge like wild gigas and they don't have bleed either

#

Plus there's the whole rage thing

chilly jungle
#

Why are there almost no servers on pc??

spark dawn
#

Because gigas dont take 600 stam to bite

long flicker
long flicker
weary jay
#

Yeah, wyverns with good stam breeding are actually insane

spark dawn
#

Lightning wyvern doesnt out dps

weary jay
#

Even just an imprint will do a lot of good

long flicker

it does, last I checked

spark dawn
#

2000 melee gigas do 10-20k damage per bite

Get an auto clicker and boom

long flicker

Why are there almost no servers on pc?? Do u have to get whitelisted or sm

long flicker
#

max damage a giga on official can do is 14k

weary jay
#

I've done like 40k from my lightning ones in 1 breath

spark dawn
#

14k dam per second is still better dos

#

Dps

#

And aoe

#

Plus health

long flicker
#

it's not, last I checked

#

How long is a wyvern breath

spark dawn
#

How long is a lightning breath then

long flicker
chilly jungle
#

Anyone got a server and a tribe i can join??

long flicker
#

I calculated the entire thing a while ago with a wiki admin, you can read that if you're too curious

spark dawn
#

So 40k damage every 5 seconds

weary jay
#

Either way, lightning has better overall stamina bc they can actually get good bred stamina

spark dawn
#

Definitely not more dps

long flicker
#

"definitely"

spark dawn
#

?

#

Do we need to do maths here

reef wyvern
#

you dont need any stam on giga you can continue to bite

weary jay
#

Don't tame gigas have like 15k health

I said like 5 times that I calcualted it already

My gigas will full imprint have 40k

I have that on a wyvern lol

Gotta stack the healths alongside melees

#

Im not even gonna answer such a dumb question

long flicker
#

it'll die in like 2 or 3 hits regardless

reef wyvern
#

any points into anything besides melee on a giga does literally nothing. microscopic increases

placid sundial
#

yeah an extra like 200 health is not going to help much against kt lol

spark dawn
#

Yeah but when you’re speaking 100+ points not so microscopic

long flicker
#

you can increase a giga's health to around 44 or 45k I think, if you mutate it to the max, imprint it and pump all levels into health

long flicker
#

that's pretty fucking microscopic
especially with KT

placid sundial
#

Also wasting the tame levels

reef wyvern
#

a 4hp vs 50hp giga is like 1k health

spark dawn
#

Wild stat not imprinted

#

what

spark dawn
#

Thats true for wild stats

#

However, imprinted is for 30% more

what

Stfu

spark dawn
#

I cant be bothered to argue

alright then, I'll assume you have no idea what you're talking about

If you think a lightning wyvern is more dps than a giga you’re dumb

I think this is one of the times when I calculated the damage

spark dawn
#

So

#

Who was right after all

pliant locust
#

Bobster do you actually still have the calc for the max dmg output of lightning Wyverns secondary attack? I was thinking about maybe testing it on a server with a magnifying glas or hlna on gen vs highest hp targets but it’s a big hassle to set up / test for 200+ pts in dmg wyvs.
Would be nice to have sth to counter check my stuff with

long flicker
#

with levels, wyverns do better dps

pliant locust
odd solstice
#

😕

spark dawn
#

Poisons ignore armor and resistance

long flicker
spark dawn
#

For bosses, nothings beating basilisk or poison

long flicker
#

I can always calculate it again, but I won't be doing that rn

#

however I'm also assuming alex is correct when he says 20-25 ticks per second on a healthy server, which I don't know about since I don't play on servers

#

and on singleplayer it's based on fps which means I can't test it on singleplayer since it wouldn't be accurate

Without using the single player check box of course.

in singleplayer there isnt a timer to begin with though

@static fjord oh god. U think it's doable with a 450 shotgun? I really don't want to breed spino army

#

@static fjord oh, really? Haha? U sure mate? I haven't paid much attention to the timer

reef wyvern
#

will take some time but if dura is fine yes

static fjord
#

yeah ive done bosses plenty.

#

as said by sFee youre fine with that shotgun

reef wyvern
#

take like 3k ammo lol

pastel hemlock
#

Durability is superb. I actually have a bp for a 387% & 850 durability shotgun. But I pumped all levels into crafting skills and used focal chilly and was super lucky and ended up with 456 damage and 1.2k durability

long flicker
#

1.2 durability

pastel hemlock
reef wyvern
#

take 2 to be sure, like 10 focal and cactus, 3 sets of flak. if aggro something just keep running around the circle they lose interest

pastel hemlock
static fjord
#

if you aggro a reaper then start praying

reef wyvern
#

probably wont need it better to have more tho

static fjord
#

i'd recommend bringing a melee weapon, for the first 2 waves no minions spawn so you can melee down the tentacles to save ammo

pastel hemlock
#

@reef wyvern I have a tek suit and 60 elements.

static fjord
#

tek abilities dont work in boss arenas

@static fjord I have 500 damage sword

you can just run its not really an issue. save the element for if shit hits the fan

From the generous raptor claus

we had a reaper hanging out with us on it one wipe, never aggroed

rockwell

rockwell
melee the tentacles?

static fjord
#

yeah for the first 2 waves

long flicker
#

using cactus broth strat?

reef wyvern
#

i wouldnt risk it

#

can get glitched by them

long flicker
#

swords do have some insane dps tho

static fjord
#

once it hits wave 3 nameless start spawning which is when i'd start using a shotgun

#

put a timer for your cactus broth too just in case you forget to refill it lol.

reef wyvern
#

he has a good shot gun no need to risk

#

you can hit the cactus before it runs out too

static fjord
#

there isnt a risk though, ive used a sword and nothing happened

long flicker
#

do it with a compound bow PoglinFuego

reef wyvern
#

ive seen several people get glitched by them

i know, but you dont want to waste any broth so pop it at like 30 seconds

one guy was lucky and just hung out until we finished

#

the rest no so much

pastel hemlock
#

Oh ok

#

hes in singleplayer so he can cheat ghost if he gets glitched.

reef wyvern
#

you can glitch and die is what i mean

static fjord
#

never seen that happen on sp.

long flicker
static fjord
#

no i mean everytime i see it its usually when someone runs close to the tentacles and then they lag under

#

in sp i never get rubber banded

pastel hemlock
#

@static fjord but the thing is, if I'm going to use a sword, I'll have to mind wipe and pump my melee

static fjord
#

no, theres no timer so for the first 2 waves the only thing you need to worry about is running out of cactus broth.

long flicker
#

go do rockwell with a simple pistol

static fjord
#

my point is at the first 2 waves nothing spawns so you can just relax, at wave 3 and onward use the shotgun

pastel hemlock
#

Don't worry. I'll grab a shit ton of consumables. I've got a huge ass farm that produces everything.

I just hope 2 we get an official release of tiamat. I feel like it would make the map list complete to have a good oceanic map

I dont care if its a scorched earth situation. Environment based maps are cool

dapper crow
#

not really

#

we got gen 1 ocean

#

it's good enough

#

but more ocean bosses could be cool ig

gusty whale
#

gen 1 ocean is small and full of missions. I really like it but there is still a bit it lacks

static fjord

it'd be pretty difficult to make an only ocean based map though.

sounds like you need subnautica xD

Ive played sub nautica

subnautica is so short though.

dapper crow
#

true

gusty whale
#

I know an ocean map isnt for everyone. I just think it would be cool.

#

honestly i'd take any map that isnt just the island but biomes rearranged and maybe some dlc content

dapper crow
#

maps like extinction and aberration i will always hold deep in my heart

gusty whale
#

right! I really enjoyed scorched earth. I felt like they could have leaned into biome heavy dlcs but I think all the negative press that got kind of dissuaded them

static fjord
#

truely, se is my favourite map.

gusty whale
#

Its unique

dapper crow
#

i really don't like gen 2. It'd be nice if the missions didnt have to be 100% completed (on said difficulty) to fight the boss, which is preeetty easy compared to the missions

#

plus the map is kinda.. meh

static fjord
#

but when i say that i dont want a map thats just biomes rearranged, i want to see some actual creativity rather than just reusing assets in the same biomes and making it look like a copy and paste.

gusty whale
#

I can respect what genesis did. I think its great to mix things up. But it isnt your traditional ark experience

dapper crow
#

gen 1 isn't too bad (we don't talk 'bout the alpha hunt missions)

static fjord
#

gen 1 is amazing but i think they went a bit too overboard with gen 2, way too easy and you get spoilt with tek tier.

dapper crow

for sure

the alpha hunts are easy, its the gauntlets that give you cancer.

but some of the missions are near impossible

gusty whale
#

Gen 2 just gives you tek armor, lol

dapper crow
#

like the downriver run and starwing strike alpha

static fjord
#

starwing strike is hard? you mean star dolphin?

dapper crow
#

yes

#

that XD strike is hella easy

gusty whale
#

I did the downriver run on alpha. Its doable but all 3 of your teammates need to cooperate and the server needs to not lag

static fjord
#

star dolphin was genuinly fun, and completing it on alpha actually felt like an accomplishment rather than "let me just get some quick hexagons and loot"

dapper crow
#

downriver run is also a solo one livaitte, that's team downriver you're talking about

gusty whale
#

I see

#

I was doing it for Canoe skin

static fjord
#

i think downriver run was a kinda stupid mission tbh.

dapper crow
#

yes

gusty whale
#

Canoe is hard to control

dapper crow
#

the turning doesn't turn quick enough 99% of the time

gusty whale
#

sometimes it veers for no reason

dapper crow
#

yea

static fjord
#

not only is it just really hard but i dont enjoy sitting in a boat and my only objective is to avoid rocks

dapper crow
#

i've tried watching videos on it but they don't really do anything XD

#

gamma and beta are a piece of cake tho

static fjord
#

indeed

gusty whale
#

I wish the skin was permanent

dapper crow
#

at least star dolphin is fun

static fjord
#

imo they should of made it so that you need to complete a set amount of missions rather than all of gamma to fight gamma, all of beta to fight beta and so on.

dapper crow
#

the thing i hate is how long it takes to get to the fighting part

gusty whale
#

Dolphin racing in gen 1 was the closest I think we got to a good oceanic racer

dapper crow
#

i don't want to do a dumb boat race to fight a boss

static fjord
#

i like the starting part because you need to be on your toes otherwise you dont get enough points

#

the bossfight was cool though

dapper crow
#

yeah but the boat race.. really?

gusty whale
#

As Ive said before. I admire what genesis did but it was not the traditional ark experience

dapper crow
#

maybe if you didn't fail for gently touching a rock because the boat decided to have a mind of it's own i would actually enjoy it

eager loom
#

im just on gen for the shadow manes and gigas

dapper crow
#

i'm trying to complete all bosses on alpha difficulty

#

done king titan, overseer, valguero and aberrant rockwell already

static fjord
#

gen 1 put a spin on the ark formula, but it was actually good. gen 2 on the other hand...

gusty whale
#

I honestly prefer to play the free maps that come after an expansion. Im down with paying for the expansions so I can keep paying the devs but TBH I think the free ones are more purchase worthy. The new content added in terms of items and creatures are also significantly nice

#

enjoying lost island a lot

dapper crow
#

even if they made gen 2 need like 90% of the missions done it'd be fine as you can do almost all of them with just a bit of practise

static fjord
#

imo the free dlcs so far have been underwhelming

#

like with the paid dlcs they add whole new biomes and content for you and then in the free dlcs its either island but rearranged or island but with dlc content

dapper crow
#

true

#

maps like ragnarok and valguero are just rearranged

static fjord
#

i think val is the only one thats actually decent compared to the paid dlcs.

gusty whale
#

I see what you guys are saying and I agree

dapper crow
#

i enjoy valguero but ragnarok feels a bit meeeh, just a map to farm easy drops

static fjord
#

i never understood why everyone loved ragnarok.

long flicker
#

I like rag because of horses but I dont really have a favourite map

gusty whale
#

Wasnt it the first of these community made maps?

static fjord
#

isnt it center?

gusty whale
#

center, you are right

dapper crow
#

not too many good base spots

static fjord
#

i admire rag for adding some new content but i dislike how its just reskinned dinos but bigger, like iceworm or lava elemental

gusty whale
#

TBH I havent spent much time on some of the other maps. Ive played scorched earth, Gen 1 and 2, The Island, Lost Island, Vulgero and whatever the one was where you are in a highly tech place with 4 biomes at the corners

dapper crow
#

anyways, tips for alpha riverrun?

static fjord
#

extinction.

#

yeah i got one, forcecompletemission is an easy way to complete it without getting unknown diseases.

dapper crow
#

i looooooooooooooooooooove extinction

gusty whale
#

yeah, I think I stayed away from aberration because I wasnt prepared for it but I never got back around to actually going far in it

#

There was also the weird one where you are in a deep cave that just goes on forever

#

I did like that one but my friends didnt stick to it for long

#

which one was that?

static fjord
#

isnt that aberration?

long flicker
#

Deep cave that goes on forever sounds like a backrooms level or SCP

#

It probably IS one

gusty whale
#

I have no idea. The biggest issue my friends have is sticking with one map long enough to learn all about it. Weve started over several times now

#

We just barely started breeding our crystal wyverns

#

Heck, took forever to get a bee

static fjord
#

why dont you do a cluster?

gusty whale
#

We do actually

dapper crow
#

mind just spend the rest of my life doing river run

#

sHinZoU Wo sAsAGeYoO

gusty whale
#

Its complicated. I want to play with them not stay hurdled in an area that might include only myself. If I was to do things my way it would be weeks before we would even meet up in game

dapper crow
#

I always try to play solo but then meet new people quickly and merge forces with them, and all my plans go out the window 🤣

#

And I kinda hate having to wait for a day where everyone is free to do something haha

#

But I like the people I tribe with lmao

gusty whale
#

Thats the pain Im going through. The server owner of the server Im currently in only gets one like once every 2 weeks and he wonders why everyone ends up with large bases so quickly

#

I just wish hed get one once a week

maiden nexus
#

HJow do I wipe my character from a server

spiral spear
#

Anyone else notice stryder works a lot better after update without crashing? Seems they nerfed rates too though, doesn't get as much org poly or ambergris bow

misty turtle
#

Wait you farm org poly with stryder?

#

Farm

#

Get higher level unlock new stuff, tame dinos to protect you

#

You play pvp?

#

I suggest you play pve first, to understand basic stuff after that move to pvp

#

Play pve sever

maiden nexus
#

Yeah i highly recommend pve for newer players, other players cant hurt you in pve

spiral spear
frail parcel
spiral spear
#

Yep

#

Bear gets more per, but stryder cleared the whole area and kept going. Stryder would be black boxed well before the bear. Now stryder seams like it got a heavy nerf on it, bear may be better again.

frail parcel
