i read that if you harvest meat with a sabertooth they get a big bonus to the chance of prime meat, but anytime i get prime it just spoils nearly instantly. think its bugged or some thing.

prime spoils really fast, ya gotta throw it in stuff that prevents it spoiling quick

How stable is the game? Friend of mine said it was quite buggy and a bit rough, understandable as it's in alpha though.

Used this to compare with a few tames and is almost entirely accurate. Tamed a level 3 Anklyo today and it took 1hr 45 mins almost exactly what the calculator said it would.

For people looking to make Kibble (fastest way to tame dinos) here's a link to all the recipes you need and what dinos likes what kibble the most.

I'm level 54 now, highest in the group hoping to hit 60 soon enough. Playing with my mates and between us we've about 50 dinos. Three anklyos, a number of raptors, 6 saber's, a bunch of turtles, two t-rex's (trying to get to 60 asap!) a couple of pteranadons a couple of argenatavis, 1 carno (want to tame another so I can ride my own might get that this weekend along with another trex) a mammoth, a bronto and a bunch of others.

We've got a beachside base about 3 min flight from our main base which has a dolphin there for underwater farming. Our main base is going pretty good now. We're in the middle of the island at approx 50,50 and it is FULL of high level t-rex's and spinos. Jesus are they everywhere. Alot more fun.

Overall I've played just over 100 hours since launch, highest in our group is 140 hours.

We haven't gone cave exploring but we're right next to one so may venture in soon.

Playing on own private server (pay $22 AUD a month so split between us all is very cheap for peace away from griefers.)

I'll post some screenshots when I get a chance.

Edit: also if anyone is interested in knowing Narcotics are a very fast way to level. Kill some Dino's farm meat, split all the meat in your inventory into single stacks, spoil them while waiting farm narco berries with a mammoth or trike preferably. 2exp per 1 narcotics. Doesn't diminish. Level 54 and still getting 2exp.

finally managed to get down to the sea bed and find some oil then got swarmed out in the ocean died and my megladon is out there away from daddy !! im coming back son daddy will you one day.

I'll be on shortly enough, going to craft a few more iron spikey wall things

more people should join gaellords cause it's where all the cool kids hang out.

yea it was far out from my base, i flew over trying to see if i could call him up but no luck, logged in there and our hawk and flying lizzard thing are missing left them sitting on my roof hmm a mystery is afoot cause i left them on passive. il tame an itchy and try dart in and find my megladon was pumping points into his health so he should be alive, just need that bloody oil. I plan to tame more megladons and go back with a big pack of them so if any crap goes down they can all dook it out while i mine away

I haven't logged on in a couple of days, hopefully I wasn't murderised by the ****er above me

If not then yes I'm still there, farming stone for walls now, door and frame were still wooden though.

you weren't in there, one of my pets glitched inside the wall, It was like saving a puppy from being trapped inside a hot car!!

Suppose that's allowed so :P
I try not leave too much around anyway in case someone does break in while I'm offline.

Ah I'm good where I am for now so, gives me a chance to level up a bit more and plenty of big dinos around to practice on

its better to be around other and in tribe for the exp boost, I leveled up from 29-31 in like an hour earlier

Ha ha dammit. There's a few sneaky dilos around there that pop up out of nowhere when you're in the middle of something else or when you're loaded down with stuff

failing to launch for anyone?
