Sometimes they are standing right in front of you when you log on and you know they have been there for a while, watching you sleep. It's very unnerving.

For those of you that, like myself, made frequent use of the map posted in the OP that shows all the cave locations - it has been updated to reflect the new biomes and swapped obelisk colors. Unfortunately it's missing the highlighting of swamp to the east of the green obelisk, but I'll repost if it gets updated.



Edit:

Also, for those who haven't noticed, there's a new Steam achievement.

You hunted down and slayed the elusive DodoRex, and claimed its army of Zombie Dodos!

That map has misleading borders; the westernmost iceberg is like 7 tiles from the edge, and there's a good deal more of the southern ocean.

"Better" hardly covers it. It's an underwater game changer since you can see for more than 3 feet through the murk. Night underwater vision with it is still better visibility than daytime without it

I really hope that we get some kind of dev comment about the use of Behemoth gateways' as walls.

On my server , so many of the bases are made out of them it really looks awful. The lag they create from even super far away can be annoying. There was a comment made several weeks ago that they were going to change them in the next big update, but no information has been given since.

Not sure how replacing one behemoth gate with 40 walls is going to improve the lag situation

It does according to devs, apparently bunch of walls still contains less data than the gate

If we could somehow get some dino gate-sized wall sections into the game, then that'd probably resolve the situation a bit, both in terms of lag and the ugliness of the wall o' doors.

The problem is gates are crazy cheap to build compared to an identically sized area of walls. Make them much more expensive to build, or walls much cheaper, and no one will do it.

I'd be on board with this. I use gates a lot of the time not because of materials but because of how utterly awful it is making high walls with walls. I end up making elaborate scaffoldings on my paracer saddle so I can actually get higher than 4

If you want to play the I-didn't-know-this-was-a-hippo-bar game with me, that's fine.
presumably the gate is a more complicated object because it opens, so a big wall (or 40 walls) would be fine.

no.
Losing the ability to line up gates with fence foundations then remove the foundation afterwards has really made me sad. Even though for whatever reason it still works on platforms.
I don't really NEED the gates in my house walls but it looks nice and breaks up the monotony of a slab of stone walls.

When the 'Fear Evolved' update launches in a couple hours, we will send a $100 Steam Gift Card Code to the first player to post a video into this thread, of them killing the DodoRex on an OFFICIAL PvP Sever (they can be working with other Players/Tribe of course, but we'll only have one code to send to the player who actually posts the video).

It's really, really tough to kill the DodoRex -- we think ;)

Requires opening the Pause Menu during part of the video to show the server name.

Thank you, and good luck with your DodoRex hunting!!!!!!

About the laziest fix for behemoth gates I can think of.

Isn't the max carry weight triple your weight stat? Not even a 300 could carry this.

The materials for one stone gate costs a little over 750 pounds. That needs what, at least 230 in weight?

The fix for that would be just to make it so that when you're crafting, it will pull materials out of any container you currently have opened. Which is how it should have been anyway.

Hopefully they'll change it so that you make it out of fabricated materials (so, for instance, you make the frames primarily out of pillars and the doors primarily out of walls). Their approach to this whole thing is really sloppy, though - I hope they go for something more sophisticated in the long term.

I play with the Goon Foreign Legion group from the PGS thread mostly, but also play on a decent unofficial server.

Its called 'Florida Server' or something and is 3x Exp/Taming and 2x Harvest. Admins seem decent, and it gets to about 20 people during prime time. Play on it to fulfill my solo play needs, so that I can be somewhat of a team player on the official servers. Tried the 50x/500 levels servers and those just get boring because its like playing with cheats on.
