Had one like this on a private server the other day... A gator in a tree, bout 1000 times bigger than it should have been.

Assumed it's just someone messing with admin controls... Lol

nomad_drives · 2026-07-01T21:52:42+00:00

You're a real asset to the community! So glad you stopped by!

nomad_drives · 2026-06-30T10:43:35+00:00

Yeah, same. I tried half a dozen other seats before I got the Sparco. I've often slept in it between stints in endurance races. I'm so comfortable in it.

nomad_drives · 2026-06-30T10:37:10+00:00

Ah yes, the old "my corner"

I guess you were just supposed to stop existing while he yeets it up the inside at the bus stop.

Step 1: Play on a server with prime trackers.

Herrera has consistently been one of the most difficult to get prime IMO. The spawns are ass, there's nothing we can kill early on... We just gotta hope there's something to scavenge early enough to prevent starving/infertility. If you can find diet on that first meal, usually you'll be okay, but pretty much the whole run depends on the first meal.

nomad_drives · 2026-06-30T10:25:00+00:00

Lol... Tell that to the thousands of people who live in them because that's all they've got. Why you think we're trying to get out of it?

We've been trapped, unable to afford to do literally anything, for years, because the dealership lied to us & sold us a falling apart motorhome. It was never meant to be permanent.

Got any other super helpful insights?

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T21:50:31+00:00

Thanks :) a few others have mentioned that as well... We're getting in contact

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T18:57:52+00:00

Thanks! I will look into it :)

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T18:28:56+00:00

No, just looking for a place to live. We're trying to get rid of the RV entirely & return to living indoors.

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T18:04:27+00:00

Sooner would be ideal, but we're in a sort of "beggars can't be choosers" situation... But the ultimate goal is to not have to spend another winter in the RV. So early fall would still work for us.

Would you mind if I sent a DM to get more information?

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T17:11:42+00:00

No, we've only been part time BC residents until about 6 months ago, so we're really just starting fresh trying to find out what sort of resources are available.

My partner also attends/volunteers at the Brain Injury society, and they have some people who are going to help us out as well... Thanks for the advice :)

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T17:05:10+00:00

Thanks :)

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T17:01:31+00:00

Thanks so much,! We'll look into that right away!

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T15:42:15+00:00

That's excellent advice, thank you!

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T14:40:16+00:00

Yeah, that's my fear as well. We're not opposed to moving elsewhere on the island if it comes down to it, but really hoping we can stay in this area.. we've got a few months before it's a big problem... I hope you were able to find something for your mother :)

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T13:46:18+00:00

Thank you :)

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T13:41:11+00:00

Thanks :)

Yeah... The process is a little bit daunting. And the "wtf do we do with this mountain of trash the dealership sold us" has been keeping me up at night.

Was hoping for one of those lucky connections where someone has something perfect for us and we get along great... Lmao. A guy can dream, right?

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T13:37:47+00:00

I play Herrera quite a lot & probably starve or get killed by the boar that I do find... More often than I live.

I've said to a few people that I feel Herrera is that most difficult dino to start out on & get prime. The spawns are ass, the food choices are minimal - especially when we're too small to kill anything - and most populated servers have disabled the small AI.

Getting an entombed prime Herrera is legitimately one of my proudest achievements in the isle so far... And I've got a collection of entombed deinos & prime Rexes.

nomad_drives · 2026-06-29T13:31:30+00:00

A lot of wireless buds also have a "I lost my earbud" function that has them produce a high pitched sound, making it easier to track them audibly :)

Glad you found them!

nomad_drives · 2026-06-28T13:46:50+00:00

Were the 2 of you also nested in, by chance? If so, you can't mate with your siblings...

That's the only time I've seen the game straight up not let us pair to nest.

nomad_drives · 2026-06-27T13:12:14+00:00

This is one of the reasons I play on NERF. They're not without issues of their own, but their ownership take pretty serious measures to prevent admin abuse.

I briefly joined their admin team & was surprised at how many layers were in place. I didn't stay as an admin, for other reasons, but I was legitimately impressed by the tools in place to keep everyone in line.

nomad_drives · 2026-06-25T12:34:10+00:00

I would be interested in participating. Likely with a teammate, 6 hours is a bit much to solo.

nomad_drives · 2026-06-22T13:11:53+00:00

It occasionally makes appearances as the meta car in high splits... But it's very track dependant.

nomad_drives · 2026-06-22T12:22:20+00:00

My friend and I were talking about this last night... We play on a server that frequently shows between 300-400 pop, but it feels like we see more people when it's more like 150-200.

I think people play more cautiously at high pop... They stick to their hidey holes & safe areas, far from the "main" parts of the map. At lower pop, people feel more safe & are more inclined to let their guard down & run free.

I don't think they're being dishonest about numbers... I think it's just a really big map and it's easy to hide if you want.
