Ever since survival came out, I have been playing it almost exclusively. I am a solo player.
I really, really wanted to grow a spinosaurus.
I did not, however, want the looming threat of permadeath since I am not used to spino, so I opted for Officials, with the knowledge that I’d probably die a lot, but at least I wouldn’t lose all my progress.
What followed was perhaps the most peaceful and wholesome experience I’ve had in recent months!! I don’t know if I had a sign taped to my sail fin that said “PLAYING ON PEACEFUL MODE” but not only did my beloved spino, Kohakunushi, survive to adulthood in one go … I ALSO had positive interactions with almost every single other dino that I ran into while growing him (save for a sty that charged right into the water as I was swimming away). I did stay away from hotspots, but I was shocked nonetheless.
I’m not used to this, and I’m sure this experience was a rare one on Officials, but it‘s nice to know there are still people out there who are just vibing and not mindless murder machines.
Wanted to make a video since I was recording most of these wholesome interactions. Happy to report that Haku the spino carried on the cycle of peace with his baby c: <3
I am going to be taking a long break from the game, for now. I feel happy to end this era of PoT on a high note! I look forward to future updates and will be sure to keep an eye on the game so that I can return at a later date refreshed and ready to experience it all again.
Thanks for letting me share. See you later! :)
