FYI rockets do double the damage of C4 so are more cost effective for destroying metal now + the splash damage makes them great for taking down metal structures or two vaults beside eachother.

Couple problems I've found with Rockets, the launcher needs remaking every 10 rockets or so, making the comparison in resources a bit different and species x shoot them.

We also want to go un-noticed. So no killing other tribes' tames outright, no killing tribemembers, just dragging their sleeping bodies into a carnivores path/water etc. The splash damage makes it pretty easy to accidentally kill something that will end up in the tribe log.

What a night!!! Got my first Quetzal and it was an absolute nightmare.

Opted to use a low level scorpion so as not to do too much damage while knocking it out using an Argentavous. Took forever to down it! It fell in thick woodland, I got some prime on it and was on for a near perfect tame then sabre tooths attacked and almost killed it, so had to force feed it regular meat to get health back up.
Then at about quarter tamed a raptor attack did same again, so more force feeding was needed. Then had to scavenge for narcoberries as the topor goes down mega fast....but we got him in the end.

Probably the most intense tame so far! Man I love this game.

Sorry about Jake guys.... he's a bit... enthusiastic! Seems like he got bored though and doubt we'll see him again any time soon.

Really making progress. Just need to expand the base without leaving ourselves vulnerable, build a lot more species x, a vault, tame some bigger carnivores and set up an emergency base.

I didn't say anything but before I went off last night I was thinking of destroying the French base or at least killing them but they were still in. I went up on the Direwolf (really is one of my favourite mounts) and ran around the base howling to see if it drew anyone out and a few came out and started asking for more stuff.

I don't know what it is with them, they asked for 10k stone, some tamed dinos, large crop plots and then species x seeds within about an hour last night. I think we need to wipe them out just for being annoying.

We finished taming the level 40 Carno at about 12:30! I kept Dayle company until about 11:30 but had to go off.

He's now saddled, in the house and named Dale Winton!

We also have 7 Species X up and running on the platforms above the house. Feel a bit better about our offline protection.

They're actually pretty funny. They've somehow acquired a Doedicurus and spent about 2 hours last night accusing another tribe of stealing it when it was sat next to their base all along.

They don't know much English so rather than asking politely for stuff in chat they just say 'you give me x'. They've even asked for a translator in the chat!

Their base is also right next to where Paracers and Brontos spawn so they're always getting it damaged and pipes smashed then blaming other tribes.

They don't seem to understand a lot of the game mechanics and their idea of defence is terrible..... I really can't think how they got that Doedicurus!

I want to wipe them out but most of the tribe think it might cause a knock on effect within the server, or that someone actually likes them and might stand up for them, understandable I suppose but I'm starting to crave violence. I might take Dale Winton for a stroll down the beach tonight and kill anything I come across.

Took the Carno for a spin this morning, lots of nice dinos outside our base got chewed smile
I don't like that base either Simo but it constantly gets attacked by some big dinos it's quite funny to watch.

Osiris base above ours has already been attacked and abandoned by the looks of it. I'm more concerned about the base at the top of the waterfall. It's right on our flight path to the volcano and bunch of species x to attack as we fly past.

Think we have a good relationship at the moment but one to watch.

It'll be useful for collecting meat!

I think they'll be trying to get another Argent today.

To be fair to the guys at the top of the waterfall they protected Proff and the trike (unsuccessfully) when he got disconnected and gave him his stuff back. We've seen it before though that tribes have a cycle where there is a misunderstanding and things escalate from there. Especially with us being so close and both having so many species x plants.

There's an update this week;

New dinos (Gallimimus, Dimetrodon, Dung Beetle)
New items (Riot Armor, Shock Prod, Greenhouse)
Splitscreen for local and non-dedicated
All (or at least more) server settings available to modify
Newer/Higher level/Deap Sea drop capsules

Knocked up a Taming pit, built in thatch first to see how it worked out...then replaced it all with wood. Works great, Very safe and good location for Carno Island and Snow biome.

I wanted it big as I'm not a very good aim with my Quetzal


My Ark so far

We got raided bad. Tribe of Yeti smashed through into our main room and took everything. A lot of our dinos gone too.

So yeti reckoned someone from our tribe was shooting bullets at their birds. I find that highly unlikely.

They broke into our base by destroying the stone, came in at the back via our second dino room. All dinos in that room were lost. They didn't make it into our main dino room so we still have a lot of our prized dinos.

They got into our main area though and took all our resources, destroyed smithy and fabricator.

I've been able to replace all our stone walls and ceilings that were destroyed, I also found a yeti sleeping back they had used to mark our base, now destroyed.

Whilst online no one came by our base and all was quiet again. I doubt it will take us too long to rebuild as a lot of us are higher levels now and can actually help get the resources together.

Thankfully we also have a bed left at base in the main dino room they didn't get into. I was lucky as my body was in that room and so kept all my gear. Not sure how many of us survived but we lost a lot.

Hoooo leeeeeee crap! Heart in mouth moment, an absolute beast to defeat.
Reward was my first Alpha rex trophy.







Found and tamed one of the new additions, she thanked me with an egg once I got her home smile



Not found a dimetrodon yet, spent a good while searching the Eastern swamp, but no luck.
