I second the army of dodos.

Maybe a tribe name change to Dodosmatter?

Trained a freaking pack of dolphins last night. They kept coming up so we kept taming more. Tonight... I swim with dolphins!

You must have been on late. I left wee there by himself at 11:30.
Dolphins, seriously? How did you catch dolphins? I hate getting in the water. Can you saddle and ride them?

Then we'll just need some c4 for kamikaze dodos!

Our tribe still has zero pearls/oil/crystals. We need to correct that. I don't know where to find them other than the general statement of caves and ocean...

I think pearls and oil are all in the ocean - and our location isn't exactly conducive to mining the ocean as we are so far inland. I think eventually we'll need to send an expedition to set up a FOB near enough to farm the coast as we'll definitely need those resources to move forward. It could be just a small base with a bed, supplies, and a maybe a pen to hold a couple birds to get to and from the main base.

... or maybe if we level up some argents we can just fly there and back as we farm.

Locations of caves and descriptions of what we'll find in them.

That's exactly why I flew Francine to the coast to scout. A base near some underwater caves would be a good idea so we could leave supplies/weapons there allowing us to carry more oil/pearls back after a dive. We could also teleport there and make a dive while someone flew some birds to come pick us up with the loot. A pen with some tamed aquatic dinos would be nice too.

Don't forget, it's also possible to build an UNDERWATER BASE! No idea how, and I think you have to do a little clipping-hacking for it to have air (there was a clan discussing it last night). I do know that future updates will include parts for an official underwater base.

Just a heads up. The cave at 50.5/11.2 will be blocked off in the next week or 2 with auto turrets guarding the entrance so I would suggest not going to that one as it will be set to give no warning shots.

We can always trade oil/pearls for stuff too if you guys are in need. Just let me, FNG, or Shady know.

Good to know, thanks. Though we haven't even tried to explore an underwater cave yet. So I'm guessing your tribe is somewhere on the west coast near that cave?

I think they are going to work in alliances at some point, so that may make it where we can farm the same caves and such.

For now, what would you like to trade for some oil/crystals?

Last night in game, he was offering oil/pearls for rock.

That's something we have a bit of experience mining ... what's the current exchange rate?

I think it was 100 rock for 1 oil and 50 for 1 pearl.

Didn't want to try and fly the last pteranodon out there, so it could die for only 1 oil.

The kicker will be delivering it. We could see if they will come to us, or if not, then we could go stockpile a good bit and then hump it overland with a bunch of mules and deliver it on foot.

With just one or two birds it would take all day to fly back and forth to get enough to do something with.

The exchange rate isn't that bad. Right now we are in need of stone, a lot of stone. So I was offering 1 oil for 50 stone and 1 pearl for 35 stone last night. I would be happy to come and pick it up from you guys. As for crystals, since they are a main ingredient in explosives I'll have to talk to my admins to see if we want to trade those.

We are always on the hunt for keratin and chitin to but I'll need to talk with my admins to see what the exchange rate would be for that.

Thanks Tri! While we wanted to keep DinosMatter alive so we could experience all aspects of the game, including the challenges of starting in the stone age, I know we all appreciate all you've done for us, in flying a few of us in to get our base started and all the great advice.

I'm not on too often and don't have the engrams for much tech, so I'll leave it up to our admins as to what to trade for. In the meantime I'll work on mining some stone when I can get on again!

We will do 30 stone per 1 crystal and we will only trade crystals to DinoMatters.

This makes me so happy- us forming a MSA (Master Service Agreement). Being the Mays Business school graduate that I am - shall I write up a a contract laying out agreed upon Ts&Cs, properly defined incoterms, any any clauses regarding liquidated damages?

We'll need to know the formal name of your tribe (IE- "Texas Aggies") to be known henceforth as 'client' and we're "DinosMatter" to be known henceforth as 'company'. I'll get to writing up the document and prepare for submission to your legal team over at Texas Aggies. I'll also like to review any documentation you have as far as HSE / Quality within your tribe.

Make sure you include some favorable terms for futures! If there is ever a really efficient rock mining dino added, I wouldn't want the rock market to go to pot and our source of oil with it. How would we keep the beer fridge running?

So I'm a little slow, but just figured out that harvesting boulders with a pickaxe gets you flint, but harvesting with an axe gets you stone... because LOGIC!

Similarly, pickaxe also gets more thatch and meat, and axe gets wood and hide!

Something odd is happening, I put about 150 stone in a chest a few minutes ago, went to harvest more, came back and all the stone is now gone. Did someone log on quick and swipe it? Glitch? Too much blow?

So good new/bad news.

I've been talking to Alien today and he's thinking of not renewing the server starting on the 7th because of money and time requirements needed. My tribe has just rented out a server and we are going to test it out to see how it runs. We will be using the save files from Alien's server so everything that is on the server will be transferred to the new server, including buildings, levels, items, and dinos. I'll update you guys as we get more information.

Server's currently down (assuming for update)... Any ideas on when it will be back up?
