EDIT: Forwarning if theres any instance I say Omni I probably mean Austro I am writing this late at night after cooking in the sun all day I'm super tired thank you

I definitely suck at catching frogs, but I'm raging, Austro should never fight anything bigger than it and I'm down for that, little fishing guy who remains by the seaside packing a nasty kick for anything around its weight or smaller, but omg the B diet is nightmare fuel.

I have never seen a chicken or a rabbit in this game ever, meaning your option is Hypsies, Deino's and frogs.

Hypsies are certainly attainable, if anyone bothers to spawn as one, doesn't help that killing a hypsie in this community means everyone bum rushes you (I killed a hypsie for food when I was nearly starving at night and a pack of previously friendly Dilo's jumped me, its is on me for leaving myself open and thinking the Dilo's would stay friendly was definitely a mistake but it contributes to my point), Deinosuchus, or organs. Every time I have chosen Deinosuchus or organs for my options by waiting under waterfalls and other common places baby Deino's show up, problem is how quickly a Deino can start killing Austro, a deino around half the length of austro can quite quickly kill austro in a lot of confrontations so you need to kill as quickly as possible as even debating drawing out the fight leads to death. And the final option is organs, and it always feels really dirty doing this because it basically means camping common routes to sanctuaries in hope a defenceless baby shows up.

Now how do I fix this problem? Probably by learning the B ai spawn locations, but I normally play on Pieds so AI doesn't spawn there but this rant was mostly spawned from bosch hense me mentioning ai, which only leaves baby camping and desperately pleading for austro to get the preferencial prime treatment other dinos of simular size get (Beipie is my main argument for this, it feels like they're almost meant to be counterparts)

I'm not saying its unreasonable for a dino to specialise in hunting the weak, but it has lead to a pretty frustrating experience when by the time I've run around the map to get everything I need for prime there's just nothing around, other carnivores have wider diets helping them keep 1-2 diets up easily and then organs can fulfil the rest, I never struggle for diets on any other dino except Austro. Austro has slow stamina regen making getting around the map for zones difficult, low HP and weight making any mistake lethal and finally it has an incredibly narrow pool of what it can concider prey. This is the cost of a carnivore that doesn't need to hunt, but it feels quite frustrating as I feel I'm playing the game wrong if I don't gun for prime.

Anyway ik I'm just whining prime isn't impossible I've gotten it twice and then promplty got pounced by omni's and pinslopped to death but thats just how it be sometimes.

Tldr: prime is hard for Austro as its hard to maintain diet due to limited diet options, low HP and weight commonly resulting in death from a single interaction, and I suck at catching AI, and as a result I would like it if Austro could have the prime privalige given to Dryo, Deino, troodon hypsi and Beipie.

This will have been explained poorly, I might clarrify later or maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and question what the hell I was on about and delete this, but I'm tired, goodnight

it could just be skill issue but using an XP-Pen tablet on the bakotako website means I cannot actually draw because I can't tell where I am going to be drawing

Dumb question cus the balance isn't exactly easy to handle but I find Cerato's to be the most common predator in the isle, this is obviously population control plus short growth time but they are quite capable of hitting above their weight class.

I normally play herbivores and if I do play a carnivore its usually Herrera or carno, but I have grown Cerato's to adulthood a few times and found it the easiest to grow out of all the carnivores. I'm not sure what they'd nerf about it because if I can be entirely honest it feel like:

1 Cerato: absolute pushover, going to die a horrible death

2 Cerato: Certain death will come for me

I often find myself preferring fights with creatures larger than them because of how much damage it feels they can output, and vomit stun is annoying but I'd hesitate to call it overpowered with pins in the game.

I might just suck at fighting multiple people, but I wanted to know your opinions given its clearly popular but also a victim of pinslop in most 1v1s against other carnivores

Exactly as it says, I want to host a modded tournament, but I need help with

1: Rules

2: banned characters (if we ban characters)

3: whatever else you think is needed.

I really enjoy the modded version of the game, however I also need to accept that some characters like Divine general have issues where he can literally just be immortal if he just selects the tank wheel and 'me if I was in a fighting game' where everything kills instantly obviously can't be included in a game.

I am aware I will need to get a modpack sorted, I am working on it, but besides that what else do you think is necessary/a ban list you think would be appropriate, I am very excited and it will be easier to run once the first one is complete.
