Well my main issue is that I can't get into the game. I dont see anywhere to click to just play. Ive got nothing in my downloads section on steam website. It does show that I purchased it, but I dont know how to actually enter the game. When I go into the game section of the libraries and change it to list view, it shows that the game is unavailable. Im wondering if you can even play on a mac computer.

EDIT: It says that I can't download the game on my current platform. I guess I'm SOL

Prime meat makes it go faster.

You have a mac, right? In one of my earlier posts I think I mentioned they said it was coming out for mac on June 30.

Another t-rex in the base. Anyone want to help?

Edit: nevermind, I had to kill it.

Here is the lvl 90 t-rex d-funk and I fought for about 20 minutes. We used tranq arrows and stones, but he ended up dying on us.

Here's the one I had by myself. I ended up killing him too, with a slingshot. We need more tranq arrows!

No that's the old server. The one you are looking for is Aliensland PVP. Just search for alien in the steam server browser or unofficial servers list and you should find it.

Finally figured all this out. Friend invites sent on steam. Add me "rlmoats" to the tribe.

Invites are in proximity only. You have to find our tribe. Get in TeamSpeak when you're online and we'll get you there.

I was riding Brewster (1 of our Triceratops) gathering berries, when I accidentally hit a bronto. He got aggro'd on Brewster, so I jumped off and ran away.

Then another bronto joined the party.

Then the tribe sent in reinforcements in the form of tribemates riding 3 raptors, 1 carno, and 1 trike (I think I got those numbers right).

They killed the 2nd bronto.

Brewster killed the 1st bronto. BY HIMSELF.

We now have a water tap in the main house and one by the crops. No more dehydration for DinosMatter.

So a rex decided to stop by (he chased that piggie up here).

I hate to report, that after almost 5 hours, I had to give up on that 84 ankylo. He still had another 40+% to go.

That's ridiculous. Hopefully they add some higher-tier item to the game that makes taming go faster.

I did learn, however, that server restarts do not impact taming. If anything, it was almost like it reset a hunger level on the dino, and he chomped through several berries when it came back up. So if not for that, he'd probably only been at 50%.

Oh, and, um... he's still alive and well in the taming pen, so I guess we can try giving him another go, lol

Ya prime meat is the best. The day after my failed 69 tame, i got a PERFECT 90 argentavis... got it back to the perfect taming area just outside base and had ppl feeding me primes. At ~2 hours was over 60% complete when another disaster struck. Dam raptor. Was gonna take under 4 hours for that one if we had finished.
sigh.

You got the numbers right, but I never made it into the fight with the carno - I was starving, and by the time I ate ~30 berries and rode down, it was over. Bronto meat for everyone!

Would it be better (cheaper/easier/faster) to look for a lower level ankylo that we can level up and spec out the way we want, rather than spending the time and resources to get a capped out Dino with junk specs?

Edit to add: with the lvl 84 ankylo, it looks like you are looking at an almost 8 hour tame, according to this calculator:http://www.ark-survival.net/en/taming-calculator/

That's consistent with 60% after 5 hours...

They need to make a prime meat type item for the herbivores.

Sad to report that an 84 carno killed Farno today. The rest of the crew finished off the carno, but not before Farno met his demise.

Good grief. Yeah, I think I'm going to kill him.

Did he get over the wall, or was Farno out on an expedition?

RIP Farno the Carno

Was trying to pull the carno off of d'funk next to the base, and couldn't get the gates opened fast enough for the rest of the squad to assist before it was too late.

I think something like this is in the works according to patch notes and such.

I agree, though. Taming takes WAY too long to have it necessary to be done in a single stretch. I'm all for keeping it difficult, but make it so that the time can be broken up. Make us craft something or other first. Possibly like an IV for tranq that can be set up to continually feed it in.

Method Two- for tribes : Farm a ton of wood, thatch, and fiber. Keep making the small storage boxes. They give approx 4xp(Not sure if exact) Farming cost to XP ratio for this is actually insane. Demolish and remake continuously till max level.

This would be interesting to try.
