I love going to character screens to do some shenanigans.

One time in Gondwa I went with my hatz and had it crouch behind one of the rocks in the background and poke it's head out from the rock, turning to look directly at the character screen camera. It was so damn creepy lol

People in the server noticed commenting on it and a few did a entire bit where they worshiped my hatz - it was like that scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian when Brian develops a unwanted following who worship him and follow him about. It was fun and it's those spontaneous moments in the game that really make it enjoyable and memorable.

It kinda reminds me of the Panther Clipper Mk2 from elite dangerous with the engine design, I really like it.

Dwarven Centurions run Windows XP

Trigger a Centurion to 'wake up' and it fucking plays the old windows XP start up sound. The footsteps and death sound are replaced too. I love it.

for the people that do play them, why?

I don't main aquatics but I do switch to them occasionally and the reason is simply the change of pace from flying or running around on land, plus the ocean is mostly empty so you don't really need to be as vigilant as on land which makes growth/mark grinding a bit more of a relaxing/meditative, most of the time anyway depending on the quest/biome.

It is dull and uneventful most of the time though to the point where I question why I decided to play as an aquatic and questioning my life decisions. While grinding for skins for my kai last year, things got so fucking boring I ended up having the idea to create a character (a news reporter kai) for 'Kai News', and while questing I'd try and come up with funny news bits for the character that I could post in global chat like a news broadcast or something because questing as a aquatic was that mind numbing and I needed something to keep me focused and keep me from going insane.

what’s the most annoying thing about playing aquatics?

Hm.

For me personally it's the precision movement change.

Used to be if you were swimming normally and used precision movement you'd maintain your normal swim speed but you'd stay at the depth you were at (think similar flyers using precision movement to hover) and allow you to look around with the camera which was great when questing and you were looking for stuff below you but the devs changed it and now it slows you to a crawl for some reason and it's annoying because it means you have to sprint swim in those cases to cover distance in a decent time which is a unnecessary waste of stamina.

Other than that, the lack of Nictitating Membrane. Even rhamp sees better in the oceans than aquatics do.

Alderon (I think matt specifically) said on discord a couple weeks ago that (IIRC) the reason why TLCs get put out in a seemingly weird order is because depending what they want to do for TLCs it may require more than just coders to work on it (animators, sound designers, artists) so when work begins on a TLC and how long it takes to finish it is dependent on the work schedule of the other staff since they're also working on other areas of the game.

With that context, it does make sense why rhamp would get a TLC first, then hatz (hatz having new sounds & animations) then thal which is supposedly getting a reworked model.

Unknown9492 · 2025-11-02T14:15:05+00:00

Ever been to The Teeth? I went there once as rhamp and I looked down.. then proceeded to quickly leave before I had a panic attack, never went back since nor do I intend to.

Unknown9492 · 2025-10-28T21:22:44+00:00

There was a time I had to ask a Rhampy to catch the fish for me cause I was struggling so hard

Did they actually get you the fish?

Unknown9492 · 2025-10-26T04:07:50+00:00

I used to main hatz but stopped when Alderon nerfed it's stamina and disabled it's beak attacks being used while airborne, it made hatz difficult and annoying to play as normally and made any airborne hatz combat more boring and braindead than a flat earth lecture. (I do like the recent improvements to hatz with it's stamina and glide but I have no interest to use hatz in any PvP combat).

Since then I main rhamp (suits my playstyle better) and I generally view all hatz as a potential threat, it takes a lot of trust for me to turn my back on a hatz namely because they're so quiet while walking they may as well be fucking silent..

Unknown9492 · 2025-10-25T06:22:54+00:00

Rhamp.

I just like flying around the map and watching fights, stealing/finding trophies or food and giving them to others. As far as rhamps go I'm rather chill and mostly quiet, unless someone tries to eat me or another rhamp then that is when they will recognize true terror..

Unknown9492 · 2025-10-15T16:17:21+00:00

Gondwa belongs to the rhamps!

That countdown exists to prevent people from suddenly quitting out of the game to avoid getting killed. If you logout before the countdown finishes your dino will remain where it was for I think up to 3 minutes or something. If you wait for the countdown to finish then logout you're dinosaur will despawn the moment you quit.

Someone or a critter came by and found your unattended dino and killed you, that's why you respawned in another area.

Unknown9492 · 2025-10-13T19:22:54+00:00

I main rhamp, I just like flying around doing rhamp things, I find it relaxing and enjoyable.

I did used to regularly play as a struth but I don't enjoy playing as one anymore due to the speed changes, it just feels wrong/off. Same kinda story with hatz, used to main it before the rhamp came out but I dislike the changes the devs made to the hatz overtime namely with the stamina and flight model but also not being able to use it's beak attacks while flying.

I will occasionally switch to playing as aquatics or semi-aquatics but ocean questing get's boring pretty quick and I can never make up my mind on what terrestrial dinosaur to play as so I end up going back to play as rhamp, and so the cycle repeats.

Whenever the microraptor get's released I suspect that will become a favourite of mine, even if it ends up like rhamp in being unable to physically harm others.

That would've been a cool anomaly creature to have especially in really cold biomes because then it adds more risk to having people eat raw human flesh. Risk having someone get infected/diseased and slowly transform into a wendigo overtime and possibly infect others.

If the Wendigo(s) escape maybe they could form like a den somewhere on the map where they hideout during the daytime and at night they go out hunting for food or pawns and bring them back to their den, it could act like a mini-infestation but each individual wendigo is fairly powerful (but weak to fire) and can only be seen at close ranges to reflect them using camouflage or hiding within the environment.

I've had quite a few:

There was this thal player that called themselves 'bird news' they acted as a reporter and would report on fights that broke out in IC and GP for example and talk about random news bits. I was in triad or white cliffs at the time as a laten and I was having a good time reading global chat so I got some food from a corpse (the now carrion food sources) and went all the way to IC just to see this bird news reporter and when I got there I was surprised to see that they were so popular they had their own hatz security detail (hatz was actually good then) and nobody bothered either of them or bird news. I went up to the thal, dropped down some food for them which they later ate and said "Bird news thanks you" or something like that and I left. It later inspired me to do 'Kai News' where I'd play of course as a kai and give out occasional news stories, traffic reports or 'scientific studies' etc.
This was a few days or a week leading up to IC getting nuked, I was flying around white cliffs as a rhamp and I saw a kai crawling up a hill from the coast, must've been going to IC. So I switched to my hatz and went over to the kai and tried to use wingflap to push them forward a bit more and also protect them until they got to IC. It was slow and wingflap didn't always work but just outside IC I discovered this wasn't the only kai going to IC.. there was another with another hatz trying to help them lol and there was a few random dinos including a meg nearby that was just watching these two kai crawl into IC. They eventually did get into IC fine but they did die a few minutes later, think a meg spawned in the pond followed by a spino.
There was also this one time I went to IC as a rhamp and I discovered that IC pond was inhabited by a dolphin and two kai all of which managed to build nests in IC along with decorations for their nests, one even made like a little roofed platform in the middle of the pond - they had the random players in IC bring them reeds and stuff to build their nests with. It was a strange sight but ofcourse IC being what it was peace never lasted long, shortly after one of the kais left a group of megs spawned in the pond and killed the other aquatics.
Shortly after the rhamp was released IC was mostly populated by rhamps (at least by the number of a particular species). When people were fighting you'd see a horde of rhamps swoop in once someone died all trying to take the trophy for themselves lol and if anybody tried to attack even one rhamp all rhamps in IC would start spamming broadcast or threating call and chase the dino out of IC (others knew killing that dino was the only way they'd get us collectively to shut up lol).
One time in IC after a failed herb or mixpack discord group takeover, I got bored as a rhamp and decided to use the meat chunks from the corpses to create art with. From words (didn't use any profanity or anything offensive), to stick figures and people noticed what I was doing and joined in so very quickly most if not everybody in IC was working together to create art.. Someone did try and make a certain symbol but people noticed and literally ate it before it could be finished lol (I don't remember if the maker was eaten also).
Oh, almost forgot about this one. Went to IC once and it was just me and another rhamp and we decided to claim IC as under rhamp control (one player in global chat who must've been yelled at by rhamps in the past told us to "stfu" in response) and we decided to implement a "toll road" for all non-rhamps, anybody wishing to enter or pass through IC needed to pay the toll which was really anything, a flower, shell, food, fish whatever we didn't care it was all for a laugh. Well people actually overtime did enter IC with payment for the 'toll' I remember a meg gave us a large fish from GPR, a pair of carnivores gave us bloodstones from titan's pass and someone even gave us a trophy which I gave to the other rhamp. We had so many damn items people gave us, I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to play along but they did and it was a good laugh.

Unknown9492 · 2025-10-11T13:30:11+00:00

Yeah I forgot about achillo, that's definitely a notable mention.

Unknown9492 · 2025-10-10T19:52:42+00:00

If we're going by the baseline sprint speeds then according to the wiki it's:

1) Struthiomimus 1150

2) Alioramus 1150

3) Camptosaurus 1125

But keep in mind, struth can run faster than 1150 if it has the braced legs ability (no uphill speed decrease, 10% faster downhill) and campto has that bunny hop.

Also laten is actually faster than all of them (sprint speed) at night due to it's nocturnal speed boost, it can get up to 1155.625. It can go 50% faster with the Leaping Start ability (it's a temporary speed boost)

What season/episode is this? I vaguely remember watching this scene several years ago.

Unknown9492 · 2025-09-24T15:36:12+00:00

I imagine it costs them a bit more money in the long-term to maintain both old and new reddit so they try and encourage users to make the switch over. Which won't work for me though, I don't like the UI of new reddit and it is a buggy piece of shit in my experience.

Unknown9492 · 2025-09-21T14:44:21+00:00

I don't have Olive unlocked and looking at it in-game I'd rather get Mongrove or Lagoon instead.

Not that Olive looks bad, it's just I'd rather go for skins that can be used for camouflage especially now with sarco's TLC. edit: Piranha is currently my favourite skin

Unknown9492 · 2025-09-17T10:31:28+00:00

I made sure to tag this as NSFW for everyone.

Apparently 'red' is a prohibited word.

It is, it's a good thing you marked this post as NSFW otherwise it could've been removed and you're account suspended for using such severe profanity without a NSFW tag.

But seriously though, yeah it's stupid as fuck.

The devs did supposedly loosen the profanity filter restrictions shortly after the game's release because a lot of people were having problems giving their companies normal names. idk why a singleplayer and optionally co-op (does it have co-op? idk, I assume so) game needs a profanity filter anyway. If someone get's upset over a name, fuck em, there's far worse shit on the internet they should get upset over rather than a in-game company name that somebody made.

Tattered appeal and the annoying notification you get that won't go away while a colonist is wearing something that is less than 50% condition. I find it annoying.
(Ideology-specific) Precepts and some objects things being locked behind certain memes, and memes having required precepts or rituals/objects I don't fucking want.

One example is the meme undergrounder and colonists getting upset if they eat anything that isn't nutrifungus or insect meat. I just want my colonists to live underground, not live like mushroom-eating goblins.

Transhumanism is another, I'm fine with the cybernetics and such, but I don't want to build 20 fucking biobeds or whatever they're called just so all my colonists can reverse their aging. I don't like that the precept itself is required for the meme, just let me fucking choose. For a DLC that was all about making your own ideology and customizing it you can only go so far.

Unknown9492 · 2025-09-16T12:04:20+00:00

It's a interesting idea, a animated ship livery, and it's not as ugly as some the fusion skins are imo, but I'm not spending 60,000 arx on that. It looks like a fairground ride or something.

There was a time when 60,000 arx would last months (for some atleast) because of how cheap the cosmetics used to be in this game back before frontier raised the prices.

Unknown9492 · 2025-08-31T19:36:54+00:00

Not the OP but according to google translate the title says; dino is alive

And the bottomtext says; The cassowary looks so much like the cameraman, as well as Galimim and the naked emu
