We’ve been making a lot of progress on our Ark server over the past week, collecting not one but two Artifacts. George has constructed a town hall attached to his pub/tavern, and Wullie has built himself a small castle, stables and most recently a birdhouse. He has also constructed an ocean platform and turned it into a much larger farm, and we are already seeing some fantastic results with the crops he has planted!
Henry has continued to work on his castle – which started out as just a cottage – and has also built a walled enclosure at the base in which to keep dinosaurs. We’re slowly building up a stock of creatures thanks to Tom who has managed to tame breeding pairs of giant turtles, direwolves, and woolly mammoths. Henry has also tamed several aquatic creatures, including a whale (leedsicthys) and an alpha mosasaur. Whilst these are unable to be tamed naturally, he couldn’t resist using a command code to “force tame” them, in agreement with the rest of the tribe.
Disclaimer: Force-taming is a method we will use sparingly, and only if we believe we would be able to tame them if they were naturally tameable (i.e low level alphas, non-tameable passive creatures such as trilobites). This time around, we intend to keep things as natural as possible without spawning any creatures in, and using few mods. We do use creative mode for building sometimes, but try to limit this.
He also tamed a breeding pair of regular mosasaurs, which can be equipped with a platform saddle that allows for a mobile base, and two pleiosaurs.
Until this point, we hadn’t had much luck with breeding any of our dinosaurs, largely due to the fact that we were either not online long enough to immediately feed babies when they were born, and because the temperatures are so low in the north. However, by placing bonfires within the dinosaur pens to raise the temperature, we eventually gained our first fertilised turtle egg, and further incubation allowed our baby to hatch. At the same time, our two direwolves gave birth to a pup and, later another one. All of these have now reached adulthood thanks to our constant vigilance and care, though it has become apparent we need a dedicated incubation room. The turtle egg took 13 campfires to hatch it!
