I checked the size of the gates in a single player game, behemoth is 12 high (exactly) and 7 wide (roughly). Regular gates are 4 high and 2 wide.

This thread has a lot of action. Is this game worth it? Don't really know anything about it except dinosaurs.

And that should be enough! Also, it's on sale again starting today. 20% off.

Ok, so I'm liking the idea of the mario castle for our home base and Kyle Field as a server wide arena build. For the arena I was imagining it as a DVD arena (Dino versus Dino) where tribes bring their top dinos to do battle with each other. If that is the case I wonder if it could be indestructible once completed, because trolls.

I'm not sure about the castle where we are now. We'd only have one access point (side facing the cliffs of insanity), b/c the others would be over water... unless we had lots of bridges all the way around to create a new land mass.

I got a feeling I'm going to drop from 15fps to about 2 once this thing is done.

Also, I made a corner in our shack designated as the "Leech Pit" - it's basically a spot where you can stand and stay logged on while away from the computer and earn the bonus tribe XP. There's a storage box to drop anything of value and a sign indicting to force feed anyone in the pit so they don't die of starvation (it looks like you lose ~10 food per hour). I'm the current guinea pig to see how it goes.

We would span the bay area by the base and have one side on the main land and one side on the peninsula. The other two sides would mostly be over water, but one would have an entry for sharks and dolphins. There would also be a 10+ block platform around the main walls for moving around the base.

We can always move to another area, but this one is possible. It's going to take a ton of supply trips if we move it to another area if we keep building walls here so that's a deterrent.

I don't wanna be a Debbie Downer here, but with the castle, we are aware that it is going to take like a month to get the supplies to construct even the floor of the first level, right? How big was the base inside that first wall? 60x60 about? That is 3,600 floor tiles right there... :/

Sky scraper anyone?


As draw, it is about 132 levels tall. Maybe we can bring that down a bit, but I like it! Comes complete with pass through behemoth gates at the bottom and a large platform around level 100 for birds to park.

Elevators are supposedly going to be implemented soon, so that would make this really awesome.

I believe there is a max height, I vaguely remember a patch that increased it but don't remember the details.

Would be fun to see though

Tests just showed that the magic number is 75 levels above ground. We could still do that.

Got that h Tine purple drank lean

Ok. So, I caught a lot of flak yesterday for kinda dismissing Funk's castle as unbuildable (even though I think it looks badass) and suggesting a sky scraper instead. This idea was met with little to no enthusiasm due to love of the castle, so I accept defeat. However, I do still think that we would never manage to build the castle as is, so I have set about making a design that will incorporate the main features, yet still be reasonably possible to construct. Below you will see a picture of the first level foundation. It does not look like much, yet, but I promise you there is more to come. Let me know your initial thoughts.

(If anyone is interested, I am using a free program called TinkerCAD to make this. It comes as a web based interface or an app on Windows 10.)

You're definintely right. We'd need 30+ active members playing at least 3 nights a week to build the original design in a decent timeframe. I'd rather it not take as long to build as an actual house. I like the castle because the stone texture is the best looking in the game and it fits better with a castle design. Though a modern metal skyscraper would be pretty great too.

I really just took the front of that castle picture and copied it 4 times. I really doubt the actual castle is 4 sided like that. I like the idea of divide and conqor. Build one side in a reasonable amount of time and if we want to or get more members, expand later. As long as we build that possibility into the plans we can figure it out later. We may end up with a similar 4 sided base or something different, but at least we'll be in the new place soon.

The giant platform was one of the biggest problems because it would take so long, but I do think we need to keep a fraction of that in the design. Rather than use fence foundations for the outer wall, use ceilings and pillars. The walls can snap in place at the same level and when we do expand, we have something level to start with and can easily connect it to the first part of the build. I also like the idea of a 1 or 2 ceiling tile thick fence with walls on both sides and a ceiling/floor to walk on. Think Great Wall rather than suburb picket fence. We'd have the ability to run on top of the fence all the way around the base for Alpha farming and it would create a convienient corridor connecting the towers and different potential buildings around the base.

I say build the alamo.

DEFEND IT MY BROTHER!

Off topic, but on point.

I started playing the jurassic world game for android. Really fun.

Amazon has the game for $22.49. FYI for those who don't have it.

Coming along. I hope y'all like this and I'm not wasting time...

The grey foundations are the yard walls. We will probably start them out as singles, but eventually add the double side like you are talking about, Funk. Let me know how y'all like this.

Looks incomplete

Liking so far

Got some good news, some bad news and some worse news.
I'll let you make the determination as to the level of news

1. Tx got Flipper unstuck, so we've got a dolphin now
2. Our water side dino gate is in too shallow of water to let in dinos.
3. I killed Fantasia. Not sure how, but I'm thinking she was set to follow, swam into the deep water of our base and drowned while I was trying to get Flipper in.

Fantasia is hella dedicated to a man who knocked her out and force fed her berries for hours.

Alright, what happened to the scorpion?

I feel like we're thinking too small... Realise Minas Tirith

Ummm. That's ambitious and not going to happen.

It appears that I broke TinkerCAD. The file is too big and I cannot edit it without crashing the program now...
