Wow thanks so much OB can't wait to get on and have a look around!

Ok, so, I have no idea how its doing this, but the mod has literally run on the same data as our other server? It's not a fresh start?
But the mod is definitely running since, stuff is there... but... I'll takea couple screenshots to explain, I don't know whats going on lol!



The obvious first thing to spot is of course, that I'm in the cave with all my tamed dinos lol, and that technically speaking everything has loaded in as intended except for the fact that the base is as is, including the metal structures etc,
Not sure if it was intentional or what? I thought it'd be fresh start to test but I'm not sure, if admins want to mess about from the established point that's fine, but its already taking out some of that core experience I want people to experience and have fun with...

Let me know if I buggered something on my side!

The large storage boxes, for example, are now shelves with a pot located centre.

You are absolutely right sir I did not see that message :D
So it is safe to do as we like since its not tied to the other server by some kind of umbilical cord?

Absolutely. 2 completely distinct instances.

OK. I've played a few minutes of this. Just from the few pieces i've looked at in detail, i'm already sold. The way I see it things, I'm going to be setting up a smithy or something :D

Wow that does look impressive!

Well mod aside - that map looks amazing! Can't wait to have a go. My chief concern is the amount of RAM it may require. Especially for a reasonable player base.

Is valhalla map an independent mod? I'm sure I have seen it on the server list a few times

​ Bring on the randomness!
Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?

It's just a map, so a server running the mod, would just load it as to whichever map the server is loading. I think... :eyebrow:

So if there's no movement on this, can we at the least get the dino levels upp'd just to add a little spunk or something to the game? I'm hearing more and more people are pushing the lvl 70 mark now, how does everyone else feel?

Yes I've obviously been just buried in Survival of the Fittest, but the break and the challenge has been worth it, especially since some new content is on its way to Vanilla Ark, and I would really love it to not be a cake walk...

Shameless, unadulterated bump.

Grim and his admins jump on TS, discussion, decision. Move forward :D
