    Welp, I'm going to do perform a terrible idea probably tonight: try to club a frog out. It'll be a torpor battle to the death.

    Also this may have just downloaded:
    Upcoming Version: v217.1
    * Fixed bug with "Rain" & "Snow" visuals only ever appearing once
    * Re-enabled 'Raw Socket' support on Linux/Windows Servers (use at your own risk, we believe there are stability issues with raw sockets but some hosts seem to like them ;)

    Took mammoth to swamp. Knocked down trees and plants. Left with 200 rare flowers and over 100 rare mushrooms, plus almost a full stack of Species X seeds. Next time I'm on it'll be prime cooking time so I can reset myself in preparation for some new play style.

    After reading up on taming times and kibble (it had just come out when I took my break), looks like I'll be on the hunt for turtle eggs. Time to tame a bigger bronto than what I have. Fun times!

    Kelf of Caketown has brought a platform saddled Paracer to the caldera of the volcano with some smelters on it. He has been gracious enough to allow others to use it. I've tamed an Anky for Warboyz to use and left it up there. Feel free to use it to mine. Just bring some berries with you to feed it, and place some in the trough on Kelf's Paracer as well, to thank him.

    It's a nice mining spot, much warmer and closer than the Blue Obelisk and a TON of ore now. I'll probably be bringing up a Warboyz Paracer as well to increase the smelting capacity this week.

    So, as some may know, I have made a village of sorts, but the drwaback is that no one is using the houses I've made. So to anyone going nomad I extend an invitation to make the homes yours. Just let me know which one you want, and you can store things, put up crafting stations, pin lock the doors, whatever.

    Just note that the 3 story square house is @Ed Gruberman's, since it was made on the bones of his old place. ;)

    I wondered if you were still maintaining that :)

    Thanks for keeping my corpse cozy. I haven't had a chance to login in a long time. Still been following the thread though and it sounds like it's just getting better and better

    Well, after a raptor tore through your house and ate you, I stored your things in a small, 2 story wooden house. When I upgraded my other areas and built an inn and barn, I renovated the place into a full 3 store and attic steepled house.

    Should you come back, I consider you honorary mayor of World's End village. :wink:

    Oooh, a club? Is that a melee weapon for taming things?

    It seems more geared towards PvP with the low torpor it takes to knock out humans but it should be effective against some early dinos like dodos, dilos, phimoia and parasaurs if you can trap the latter two.

    Edit: These two patches I'll put into effect tomorrow morning:
    Current Version: v217.2
    * Fixed respawn rate & yield rate on Species X wild plants
    * Fixed dino-player pushing through walls case
    * Fixed inability to climb ladders at some angles
    * Reduced effectiveness of primitive club on players by 10%
    * Increased poison grenade gas duration and effectiveness by 15%
    * Female Megaloceros don't grow horns anymore in singleplayer :)
    * Sloped Roofs now count for "indoors" insulation calculation

    v217.1
    * Fixed bug with "Rain" & "Snow" visuals only ever appearing once
    * Fixed RCON performance issue on Linux/Windows (we think ;)
    * Re-enabled 'Raw Socket' support on Linux/Windows Servers (use at your own risk, we believe there are stability issues with raw sockets but some hosts seem to like them ;)

    Yeah it looked fine to Moth, but I saw my mammoth under the ground. Relogging fixed it.

    I always know when there's an Ark update because my PC goes from booting up in seconds due to SSD, to hanging on the desktop for 2 minutes because Ark is unpacking 10 gigabytes of data.

    I just got back to my base after a couple of weeks away from the game, and a bunch of armor and my best blueprint are missing. My fridge is also empty, but it is possible that the few eggs and kibble I had simply rotted away.

    This isn't a big deal, since I barely play the game at the moment, but I figured I should mention it.

    That is disheartening. I had hoped we were free of thieves. Still a number of new people on these days who simply might not know the rules.

    It's hard to imagine this being a mistake. Someone walked into an inhabited house and grabbed gear and blueprints out of a fabricator. That said, I am not alone in my tribe, but I can't imagine why any of my friends would have moved the blueprint.

    So is it in a house proper behind locked doors? Did the recent biome changes make a hole? If extra steps need to be taking we will.

    No, the doors had been left open, so I have no reason to believe any kinds of glitches or cheats were involved.

    Well if we need someone to vouch for non-forum survivors or some other system we will because everyone should know better. But yes as a precaution always leave doors closed and locked and valuables behind pin codes. Still sorry to hear this happened.

    Edit: Spread the word on the server, a lot of players are willing to help you get back on your feet.

    Edit 2: Oh yeah, my depot is now the only Warboyz settlement right near the Bat Cave so feel free to use if you're spelunking there. The second story needs the roof finished preferably with metal, should be plenty of cementing paste on one of the smithies. I may need to unpin the storage boxes upstairs but feel free to take anything from the boxes or bookshelves. There is also three fridges with meat, berries and eggs/kibble/food in that order. Not sure how long the generator will be stocked so best to check it out sooner rather than later.

    See, that's what makes me sad. I didn't lose him to the dangers of the island. I lost him to the dinosaur pathing algorithms not having any idea of how to deal with forests.

    I can't take revenge on pathing or forests!

    Just as a warning to anyone transporting dinos via Argent claw, I've lost two different Dilos now by landing without dropping them first. Seems like they've both just plain despawned, maybe because in the moment of landing, they were "under" the ground geography? I dunno. No death message in either case.

    Edit:

    I don't think you have to keep taming the new stuff for that. It's just the first group.

    I have everything (I finally cheated and killed Broodmother in singleplayer) from the first group and it didn't trigger so I'm trying to tame the last two before Skybax is added.

    I decided to just tame a dire wolf and elk in singleplayer and sure enough the achievement triggered--though I had to quit out of the game first.

    I imagine what the achievement means by "initial species" is all the dinos available at release, or for early access all the dinos in the current build.
