Have you checked out Wurm Online, danaere? Heavily involved crafting MMO with terraforming. Everythings set up in a nice grid. It's one heck of a grind though.
I'll give it a look, thanks!
In the meantime, come play with us (see above post)
After talking with my wife tonight we're ready to abandon our progress thus far and rent our own server to begin anew. The one we've been playing on has been decent, but has some quirks that I'd just as soon get away from.
This means that there should shortly be a GWJ-friendly password protected 40 player server available.
My preferred server provider currently has a backlog on setting Ark servers up due to the massive demand, but I'm hopeful that we're only looking at a few days here. I'll post more info as soon as they provide me the details.
Awesome, can't wait to start fresh with a good group of folks from GWJ!
I was chopping wood in the dark last night and accidentally knicked a stegasaurus. Now all three of my Diplos (including Skeletor, a level 20 Diplo, which is a big deal when you are level 9!) are dead, as well as my pack-hippo. What's worse after I killed the Steg he didn't even have that much meat and hide on him.
Luckily I had just unlocked the boxes, so I was able to build five and move everything my pack hippo was carrying to my base (now a small shack next to the fire). I have replaced one Diplo (only level 3 )and am working on a new hippo now. I just unlocked level 10 and built three farm plots. I'm growing a Narco Berry and two Mejo berries (I only had one Narco seed) so hopefully after they come in taming herbivores will get a lot easier. I don't know why kind of yield you get from a small plot.
Edit: Forgot, I'm actually working on a tortoise, now that I don't have my pack animal anymore I wanted something that I could kite back closer to my base. Taking a really long time to tame him though, I'm hopping running around and scrounging Narcoberries as fast as he's eating them.
I'd be interested in adding some multiplayer antics to my single player game. In order to help orchestrate our efforts here is a map of spawn points:
I would like to be in a small group, or at least close enough to other people for fairly easy trading. (For those who haven't put in much time, you unlock blueprints pretty slowly, and you don't get enough tech points to come close to unlocking all the crafting options, so specialization is definitely necessary).
Anyone else with similar interests want to orchestrate our efforts? We wouldn't even have to choose the same spawn points. W1 and S1, for example, are probably only a 20 minute convoy trip apart, even larger separations would still allow for reasonable trading, even at low levels.
I would love to group up and coordinate efforts. So far I think I have been playing near the east spawn points. Care to explore the western side of the island?
Sure, my single player spawn is E2, I would like to start somewhere far away from there to see more of the Island. Want to do W3 or W1?
(I definitely don't want to do W2, I do not want to brave Megalodons every time I go visit someone else!)
Let's go W3. I don't know if local characters can be imported or not so I will likely be starting fresh.
Me too. W3 it is. I'll probably be on 6PM EST, I'm planning on being on most of the time this evening, but with some sporadic pauses to play with/let out the dog and interact with my wife.
**Sniff**, goodbye "*tab* pause *enter*" I'll miss you!
I should be on this evening as well if all goes to plan. I hadn't thought about the fact that there aren't enough points to get all Engrams, makes that research "tree" a bit more interesting knowing that. No idea how I will specialize currently.
Anyone else starting out. Not sure the server can check later (and we may move at some point) if you are looking for a more pvp enabled group currently Petrie/myself are playing (only 8 or so hours in). Dyni/Crinkle look to be joining us soon. We are just on a random server may move although currently have no issues. No problem adding others just hit me up on steam escher77.
Speaking of the tech trees, someone has collected a representation of the tech trees here.
Edit: Hot-linking doesn't seem to work.
I would love to join your server Elycion and danaere! I am more a live solo but interact with neighbours when I can help or need help. I tend to be on a different times and have to leave suddenly, afk a lot, etc so it is hard to coordinate on a regular basis.
I think I will make my starting basecamp around W1. I am currently playing in the SE, so seeing a different part of the island sounds enticing.
Is there a financial commitment needed?
A GWJ Server definitely makes this harder to avoid picking up....
(Mostly for Arkon) I got back to base shortly after you logged out. I took the Dinos out for a run, hunting low-level Paras and Trikes, berry picking, and Dodo-culling. I found another Dilo while I was out there, so now we have three. Dino and Deno have 20 raw meat, while Dano has 18. I have 8 cooked meat if your hungry when you wake up. Old Blue is holding all the Berries except the Mejos (because he'll eat those and I want to save them for taming), so Dano is carrying those. We have 20+ Narco berries, ~50 Mejos, and more than 100 of everything else.

This... very much, this.
Is there a financial commitment needed?
Nope. We paid for it because we were enjoying the game but not the server we were on. If it turns into a long running thing, contributions happily accepted but no need to require or commit at this point.
One of us, one of us...

Thanks for the update Yonder, I will be playing a bit this morning and will work on gathering more Narco and Mejos berries.
I stopped in for a while this morning as well. I fed and watered you, although I didn't really need to (you were in the mid-70s). The D-nos were fine, but most of their food had rotten (they really didn't eat much while standing still). We once again played scourge to our local area, killing more Paras and Trikes. We also went north and found a lone Eagle, so we took partial revenge on Eeyore. The game is starting to get a little sparse right near our base, once we capture a Trike and another Para for me I'm going to start some Inland Treks to fresh frontiers.
As far as capturing goes, I've processed our Narcoberries into 11 Narcotics, which Old Blue is holding. When I come on tonight I think I'll be on long enough to capture that Trike near our base.
I also built five small farm plots about 50 feet south of our base, no irrigation yet, so when you log on check their water. With my next level up I'll have the points to unlock the third irrigation piece and I'll set them up with that. Also shovel any dinosaur poop that our pets have created in to them. There are three Narcoberries, one Mejo, and a Tinto (I only had one Mejo seed, and the recipe I found says that Tintos can be used to make health potions).
Will do, although this morning I couldn't find the server. I saw it in the Steam Server list but in game it was nowhere to be found, but this was just after the patch.
There is a "Search my survivors" or something button that I used to find it again. Maybe it was in the bottom left?
Do note I also could not find the server Petrie and I play on this morning either (my daily check what petrie did after I was asleep). I am guessing this new patch requires a server patch to see it.
Yeah I tried all the tabs, tried using My Survivors and it didn't show the server.
I think you're on the wrong side of the 175.0 update then, the server must not have updated yet. (When I logged off an hour and a half ago there was a message saying the update was ten minutes away).
I have to say I am absolutely amazed at how fast and responsive the devs are. They are working at a fevered pitch on the game and a lot of the patch notes seem to stem directly from feedback I have seen on Reddit etc.
They certainly are taking the reddit feedback and they even themselves post of reddit a fair amount. I just hope they don't burn themselves out. The pace they are going might be too fevered :P.
