Oldie has managed to set up a Primitive Plus Server and it's all online :thumbsup2:
We've temporarily turned off SE to accommodate it and we'll work out what to keep in a bit once we get a handle on who is playing.
Oldie and I have tried it and although the load time is long, and I mean long, it's working Ok.
We've headed tow West 3 and up the coasts to the long spit of land on the coast, halfway up the west coast. Not much there but there is a bed and a little stockade.
Is it a totally fresh start character wise? I'm hoping so.. I'll try to jump on !
Yup total reset - lvl 1's all round
sweet... Created a new character or meat fodder for small dino's. Not sure where you guys are but am spawned in West 3
pop on ts gortex i'll find u
We're here.
It's only a stopgap as we'll need to look for a nice spot where we can build our village community.

I'll be jumping on, but with my current shifts it'll be in the early hours of the morning... so I'll just explore a bit on my lonesome until we get a village started :)

No BEN! I WILL BEAT YOU THIS TIME!!!
Well, been killed by the same raptor 5 times. Finally managed to lure him to the trike that then killed him for me. Was my plan all along.
Nice thing is, I am building in exactly the same spot where I built the very first time I played the game :D Nostalgic.
Configs now copied across from previous server.

Which server though Oldie? If it's The_Island settings, they aren't the greatest, the radius for destruction round structures and dino level were still vanilla??
Thanks Oldie
If you can please adjust the destruction settings that would be great.
Also, can you please check (or are these accessible by me in the admin manager)
DisablePvEGamma=true
Settings were copied from TC and checked with SE too.
I'll check DisablePvEGamma=true
Thanks oldie!
I'm dying much more regularly now, mmmm, perfect :D
DisablePvEGamma=true
Rideable flyers are no longer tameable.
Done :)
I can't see the icons on my Hud that tell me about my health / food / thirst / stamina status. Is this intentional? Not so much of an issue now, but could become one as imo the on screen warnings for low stamina, health.. they're not great. Could lead to a lot of dead mounts.
i have all the icons, there is a key for enabling/disabling as i did this before, but i cant remember it right now sorry....
edit: Try backspace
Yup - backspace..... I do it all the time.
:rolleyes:
Weird, it's not that - backspace hides the entire Hud.. I have half of mine! (And have tried it, doesn't fix the problem)
But if others have the icons the issue is my end so I will look into my game settings :)
Well I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that where we ended up is just unsustainable.
It's too dangerous and the Theri's are spawning in great numbers very frequently.
So....... I'm considering moving and would be happy to help anyone interested in setting up.
I think off to the South towards the Green Tower (near where Oldie etc and I were last time). It's safer and altogether more pleasant.
There's also nice areas of flat land for building. It's also near the water.
I appreciate that lots of us have invested time in the area but it's really only going to affect myself and Whitey to the most extend. Sithy and his boat can travel round and others such a Gortex, Sneaky, Sulky, OB and milli have minimal build stuff.
You can load up the boats with all your stuff or just fast travel.
Thoughts?
sounds like a plan to me
Quote from: Penfold;422125Sithy and his boat
The one I largely dismantled :g: :doh:
Indeedy.
It's just too high risk with no birds.
Totally my fault and I apologise but I'm not sure how we can continue there. The bases have been trounced once again pretty much and at least now it wouldn't take too long to rebuild.
Like I said the boats can navigate to the sea. It's challenging but does work so we can load up.
Whitey's my biggest concern due to the house. I'm even tempted to offer up replacement resources if that is what's needed.
Anyway, no immediate decision. It's meant to be fun but I'm not sure how much fun the current locale is providing.
Would we be better to concentrate on building a wall around the existing village for protection? I'm happy to move but concerned we could end up in the same situation again.
I wondered that but we could end up being trapped behind the walls if we're not careful.
The South is a lot safer.
Is anyone around tonight. I'll try to get on an perhaps we can TS.
I'm up for that. I got ravaged by 2 alpha raptors last night over and over... hard times.
Oldie,
A few people have asked if you can make the night times a little shorter. That's fine with me so if you're able to adjust that would be great.
Thanks.
Personally I've been thinking about moving somewhere a little safer anyways as at moment progress is being hampered by the fear of coming face to face with a therizi and getting my face ripped off.....then throw in the raptors wandering about and the mention of a spino nearby the other day and at level 20 (ish) not ready for that yet ðŸ˜,. But quite happy to go with the flow..... nights being a little shorter would be great though.

I've made it ...
Total length of day = 60 minutes
Day length = 50 minutes
Night length = 10 minutes
I have no idea what is was previously but thanks :)
Thanks Oldie!
I'll help with the moving once I am online again, back to a few nights of work for me so I'll only be on strange times.
That's much nicer quality of life wise. I just tend to wait out the nights crafting. As a result they're not really hard, just dull.. 10 mins is much better :)
I think we need to have a vote on where we're going to re-establish our base if anywhere.
Some have said the South near the Green Beacon, others Hidden Valley. I'll try to get some options together and then vox pop it.
Here are some ideas. Will post more as I find them.

You may recognise the trench. There is a decent amount of aesthetically pleasing flat ground around the trench, close to water, and importantly close to the Volcano (the best source of metal). May be a bit dangerous, but probably better than where we are now!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3834[/ATTACH]
Flat area near the green tower. Again may still be dangerous. This one I am not sure where the metal is. Looks good though, and a good amount of flat space for us to build around together.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3835[/ATTACH]
Very interesting flat area near red tower. Quite close to a swamp. Not sure where there is metal.. again.
The smithy doesn't work for me guys. I can't craft anything there.. and yes I have moved the correct resources over.
For example, I am trying to craft a lumber door, and in my inventory it says I can, but clicking does nothing (as it says 'Can be crafted at: Smithy'). What I can't do is work out how to even do it AT the smithy... no engrams show up in its menus!
Edit - I found the problem. You MUST unlock the smithy engram BEFORE you unlock any engrams that need to be crafted on it. Potentially quite a large bug.
Issue now is I have the engram for lumbar doors, but I can't craft any :(

I can't imagine the trench is any safer than where we are now, I consistently had predators falling onto my base from the trees above...
The green tower sports some amazing rock work, but I've got no clue what resources are like out there at all, but thats a cool couple suggestions dude..
The spot near red tower you linked after I think only has metal inside the swamp cave, unless there's been an update to the nodes in the area, I know beaver dams occur in the lake there, so thats cement etc...
It's tough though, too close to red and the world is a little stale, I'd say the top of one of the mountains that have more greenery than the volcano is maybe a good idea, always resource rich, and just a case of getting used to slaughtering countless eagles...
What do others think?
I haven't played alot but I'm willing to help where needed. Is there still the option of one of the admins ingame getting me in the clan? Last few times I was on, no admins were on.
BTW, Monday I tried to move towards you guys, had a pack off 10 Dilo's but didn't get far. Overrun by Carno's and Theri's on the way over.
Then tryed over 20 minutes getting my pack back but no luck. Maybe better for me first to try and trap a wolf or something so have a decent transport.
I am happy to move as the area is challenging. Stuff can be recreated so not a big deal really.
DuVeL,
I'm on a lot so please keep an eye out for me on TS and I'll find you and get you into the clan.
Chaos,
The lumber door is fubared. Everything else is working. We're using reinforced wooden doors
I also agree The trench won't gain us anything.
Whitey and I had a look at hidden valley but I think we may get the same problems with stuff falling down on us.
Oh so not just me! Good to know.
Have we found somewhere yet?
I'm keen to build..but don't know where I'm going! I want to be with the rest of you guys this time around.
It looks like the majority are staying where they are but Oldie and Sulky have moved to the mountain at 75,47.
The addition of bears have made the original spot a lot safer but you're welcome at both I'm sure.
Not sure where Milli is now?
Got my lvl 138 bear slaughtered by a Scissor hands cos I was caught off guard this morning, knocked me out then shredded the bear :( So it's still a rough world out there my dudes!
Ouch sorry bro.
I seem to have caught a disease in-game which is only curable by getting leech blood. I've been fantastically unsuccessful in getting that so any help greatly appreciated.

I don't even want to imagine what you were doing to end up with something that nasty!
and a fun run through the swap for leach blood cured us both :-) I can't believe Pen infected me so that I had to help him! :narnar:
I forgot to mention the small dino that spawned in your base yesterday evening Pen:
