    I played a good bit on the lost island, long enough for me to forget about the sinomocrops on my back allowing me to fly a little. A few days ago I was playing on abberation and stupid me thinking that I still had the sinomocrops jumped off a cliff to avoid a pack of Ravagers. I avoided the ravagers at least, but I did not fly lol. So when you were talking about how much the sinomocrops had helped you with your base I had a little laugh at myself.

    Hey syntac, I have a video idea.
    I think you should do an ark nuzlocke.
    It should be something like "I attempted an ark nuzlocke" and the rules go: you pick a map probably the island because its the standard map and you can only tame one dino of each species so one dodo one rex if they die they die. So thus means that breeding is also not allowed which I know kinda sucks but it is what it is. Now your objective could be to beat up the broodmother the megamonkey or the dragon on alpha/beta/gamma depending on what you think. You could also increase the max level of dinos on your server to make it a bit easier or think of something else.

U can easily get 100k stone there

    The bats leave you alone because you are wearing a sinomacrops, and it scares them away.

    Is Syntac telling us something by the back gate being an "entrance"?

    Theres a pond with a ton of free black pearls south of the volcano where the hot springs/geysers are literally nothing in the water

    Funny how I built my base next to him on the other side of his little Island or whatever it is. Its just a base up very high and literally next to me there are a lot of metal nodes in a little cave. I always use the maewing to move up there or move down. Its my favorite tame basically since it makes the map Look small even though its massive. Being on the North side and riding on one of those to go south is the best thing. You literally need like 1 Minute to be there

    Do you ever think about taming some non traditional utility tames? I'd love seeing you go around on a Rock Elemental havesting wood and stone (they're really good at wood). A mantis would be really cool too.
