The Isle is overall immersive dinosaur game and the environment, playables, and survival experience are top tier. Something that contributes to that immersion is hatching from a nest and starting your playthrough as a wildborn dinosaur fresh from the egg.

I feel like seeing a nest listing is rare even on servers with up to 450 pop, Just me? I wish that when you pull up the egg tab you see a nest 90% of the time. Why is this an issue? Why are there not many players nesting? I think the issue is players are not incentivized to nest due to how hard it actually is to find a mate the time it takes to find the excessive amount of debris you need for some nests and the prolonged gestation period.

My idea to fix this starts with making the nesting process easier. Firstly instead of needing 20 pieces of debris you need only ten, also gestation is 50% faster for all eggs and takes up less nutrients and hunger from your stomach. The next is finding a mate made easy, when a dinosaur hits the age of reproduction a new icon forms on the smelling compass a blue or pink icon depending if your male or female, for example, if the dinosaur gender is female a blue dinosaur symbol will appear on the map and will show where the closest fertile and compatable mate is. This feature will be very similar to the red large herd icon that is already in game. To stop species to species combat with this new feature if you attack your compatible partner your lose a prime condition forever and get a 10% debuff on hp, damage, stam regen for 30 minutes.

To incentivize players to nest more frequently even with the easier nesting process, nesting could be a new prime condition and from the moment your first kid hatches from the nest your dinosaur recieves a permanent maternal or paternal buff of 4% on hp, damage, stam regen, blood regen, this isn't much but it will convince enough players to nest and "max" out their dino.

Overall if this nesting update is added it would heavily contribute to the realism and immersion of The Isle as whole because IRL every dinosaur has a natural incentive to reproduce so it makes sense that we see it more often in the isle.

I've been watching rust game play for about 1 month now and thought it would be a good idea to finally get my hands on rust have the epic battles and survive a post apocalyptic world. Boy did the experience in I thought I'd have differ from what actually happenend.

I joined a random community server with around 50 players woke up naked on a beach next to some random dude I greeted him nicely and he pulled out a rock and said and I quote "I'm gonna beat you mother fucker" and I didn't even say anything but "I'm new" and the bastard cursed me out and proceeded to beat me to death with a rock and I thought to my self welcome to rust ig.

The next hour I just tried to make it from the beach into cover and was just continuously sniped sprayed, and beat before I could even craft my first stone hatchet or pickaxe. When I finally reached a good spot it was covered with other peoples base abandoned, not abandoned it just felt like I joined a year old Minecraft survival world and I felt disconnected from the survival element of it all. I tried other servers and tried to team with other fresh spawns. Same result.

Any tips? Specific servers? Anything to make me feel like I didn't just waste my 40 bucks?
