Is there a mod that allows walls to be partially buried in the ground? Our walls/castle won't be complete without something like that.

I'll look into this. As long as it would not be an issue with the current mod, or actual game, shouldn't be a problem but lemme look more into this before I or AgDog attempt to install.

Bleh, I came in second place on the SOTF prelim tournament for today. But not too bad for doing it solo.

About two and a half hours. They sped up SOTF on official servers and the trikes can run you down.

What exactly do you do in SOTF? I have no clue how it is supposed to work.

It's sort of like Hunger Games. I'm about to head to lunch. I'll have more time to explain.

Basically there are two types of servers for SOTF. I believe the one that has 70 players can have two people on a team and the 100 player server can have up to 4 people tribe/team. You have to make or be in a tribe before it the round starts or you will be booted from the server.

At the beginning you can rush to the middle to hope to get some good items like metal axes and so forth but I usually take that time to run away. The game starts on a platform roughly the middle of the map. Fall damage is turned way down and harvesting yields are higher. The Engrams are a bit different for some items. You don't need to make a mortal and pestle to make tranq arrows. All you need are narcoberries and arrows. Taming time is sped up as well.

As you play there are certain events that happens like Day/Night switch, Carnivore Drops which can drop any carnivorous creature right on you (not good), Herbivore Drops same as the Carno Drop but Herbys instead (usually not too bad just make sure you aren't swing at anything when this happen). The Beast Within is when the Herbivores become aggressive and attack you and your pets. Mega Fog you can't see ****. Mega Hot and Mega Cold don't really do all that much. Also at night I believe around 12 there is a Location Reveal that shows the last spot you were at. There is also a Survival Tracker and it will follow you around showing where you and your teammates are in realtime.

There are Red Airdrops that happens frequently which can contain a whole lot of supplies and at the platform there is a Mega Crate that can drop tons of stuff. They added a dragon that flies to the platform and eventually can be tamed and you can fly around to kill people and destroy stuff. It last around 20 or 30 mins before it despawns.

I suggest watching people play SOTF on Twitch to get an idea how to play. The last tournament they had which at that time did not have the dragon a solo player won by sitting in a 1x1 stone building at the platform for 3 hours. Nobody thought to attack the building so by the time he left it was only him and one other person who was in bad shape because of the Harvest Famine which harvest yields very little if nothing and from a previous fight.The guy in the house let him heal up then they went at. The house guy know as the Box Guy by everyone won the tournament and $40,000.

That's actually really cool assuming you have the time to sit there and play that long.

I forgot to mention that when you kill someone you gain a ton of levels and you can claim their pets.

Well, the story isn't too exciting but I'll try to entertain...

I decided to go work on the F.O.O.D.D by building a walkway off our current ramp. I grabbed Rev and loaded her up with ceilings, walls and such. I started working on the walkway and had to be on the ground to place some pillars. I noticed a level 10 Alpha Raptor (yeah, you can see where this is going) just south of the ramp and getting a little too close for comfort. I figure "Hey, I've got Uber-Rev and that's just a lowly little alpha..."

I'll give you a moment to facepalm.

So I take Rev and start swooping attacks which are pretty much useless. Then I land on a nearby rock to start popping arrows into it. Well, the Clever Girl starts roaming around the rock and finds a low spot, I then get too close to the edge and drop down to a lower part of the rock within bite range of the red devil. What happens next is a bit of a blur. After what I assume was a scream like a 13 year old girl at a Justin Beiber concert exited my mouth, I ran for the swamp base. Rev was on follow mode and set to Neutral, so being the good little girl she follows me and starts attacking the raptor as well. I decide to run back toward Rev and try to mount her to fly to safety. In the ensuing blur of maroon feathers and red glowing death, I die.

After respawning at the swamp base (why does it take so long to wake up? And why do we keep looking at the fraking artifact in our arms???) I head back out to find Rev. I see the raging battle near the Cliffs of Insanity. I start whistling like a construction worker in the red light district hoping to get her passive and to follow me. It doesn't work, she's raptor food. After mourning for a couple of seconds it dawns on me that she was fully loaded with walls, pillars and ceilings and her backpack was being guarded by the alpha. I go back to base and grab Arthur (nope didn't learn my lesson) and fly back to the area. Thankfully the raptor is distracted by some other poor piece of raptor food and I'm able to land and slowly transfer 500 weight of materials over before being attacked again.

So, yeah... Don't attack alphas solo unless you can rain pointy death down upon them from atop the Cliffs of Insanity. And nothing has still gotten done on that stupid F.O.O.D.D.

Oh well, thanks for the story.

Just flew the entire map and didn't see a new giant albatross thing. Does the server need a restart first?

Yes, I noticed this within like the first 10 minutes of logging on when the biomes were introduced. Very frightening to assume you are safe and secure in your base and see one just slither right over the fence all the sudden.

When you're getting swarmed by insects just run towards a red glowing dino. It will take care of them for you.

My first day in the new server I died so many times from the bugs. I'd rather face an alpha raptor on foot than 10 little bugs.
