- Servers can now optionally enable an "offline raiding prevention" mode which will make Dinos/Structures invincible if no owner is logged-in (indicated via the head whether the owner player/tribe is logged-in or not). Recommend that server owners utilize this with care, as it may have undesired side effects in a competitive environment. (e.g.: ?PreventOfflinePvP=true?PreventOfflinePvPInterval=60.0?PvPDinoDecay=true?PvPStructureDecay=true)
- Added Alpha Mosasaurus (contains lots of Black Pearls)

- Auto-Turrets can no longer be built on Quetz/Sauro/Mosa/Plesi/Paracer platforms (Plant turrets can't be grown on them). Any existing turrets on such platforms will no longer fire. This is a server option of "?OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true". Otherwise they're now only allowed on Rafts and non-moving Bases.
- Plant Turrets now consume Fertilizer per shot, and also will not shoot if no water is in the crop plot.
- Approximate +100% increase to Saurupod and Paraceratherium respective Weight stats.
- Breeding Mechanics Phase 2: Interactive Baby Raising
- Optional RPG Stat Mode: Displays Floating In-World Damage Numbers for all Player-Related Damage Events.
[MORE NOTES TO COME]


We are expecting a MASSIVE update soon. Hopefully today, could be tomorrow or pushed to this weekend.
Please be aware that there might be serveral restarts and maintenance needs, if the patch causes problems.
thanks!

hey Everyone,

I am running the patch before i log off for the night. if there are any issues, please us know. BUT be aware the server might be "off" a bit tomorrow, if we have the wonderful luck we had last patch.

HEY ALL,

Sometime next week I will be posting our website link to some steam forums and other sources. I want to try and get some new members. I will describe our server settings and mods.

Also I am thinking of entering in an enticement system to help out some new players, namely the longer the player stays and lvls the more they can earn.

Starting items will be birds:

lvl 20= Ptera w/ saddle
lvl 35= Argent w/ saddle
lvl 50= Quetz w/saddle

ALSO, at this moment I am still be up for breeding animals for people who are lvl 50+ Giggas are excluded from this except for those who currently own a gigga.

WHAT this means for you:

We are a peaceful server so as you know raiding is more looked down upon. This being said, we may get some sneaky sneaks and not everyone can be caught. So my suggestion to you is work on sealing up your bases, and keep things more enclosed. You don't have to setup turrets or a crazy amount of weapons (unless you want to). I would maybe leave some strong dinos around your base on neutral to eat anyone even trying. The bulk of the current players are in our tribe, so we can go to each others bases and we wont be harmed. If you don't want trespasser/alliance to get into your buildings be sure to Lock your doors and pin code them. I can't be responsible for catching people who steal from other tribe members all the time. If i find out who it is, they will be punished.

Tribe Wars/Alliance Wars are allowed as long as both parties are willing. Please be nice to our new comers if we do get some.

The server ranking system is as follows

Amazonia- Lead tribe and Alliance
Titan- Server Owner/Leader
Jess- Server Admin
Teanie- Server Admin

I will be getting steam on my cell, and I can manage most server issues after hours from work or when I am home. So if you need to direct message me for things, please do so by friending me on steam. My username is Titan2174. Jess and Luber also have my cell phone. Teanie and Jess have access to rebooting the server, but I am the only one who can do maintenance.

i will also be posting all future announcements/updates to our steam group. I will be making it open enrollment, once we see new people. I will still post announcements to the group curse. So be sure your in our Unofficial Curse Group.

Anyways, let me know your thoughts, ideas, and concerns by messaging me or responding to my post

thanks!

*** ALSO I am not promoting anymore tribe members to tribe admins at the moment, so don't ask please. We have alot of members ***

*** I will be posting the date I will begin posting, to give everyone time to do what they need. But know its going to be sometime this weekend or next week***
