Community Crunch 265: Minigun, Noglin, Small Tribes Update and More!

Posted: 30 Apr 2021 05:36 PM PDT

Fresh off the Federation Crop Plot, Shadowmane, and the Loadout Mannequin images, we're following up this week with more images of upcoming Genesis II content.

Have a joy ride with the tribe or go for a relaxing fishing session.

Convenience is key with a canoe that can be picked up and placed down in any body of water and is great for storing your consumables and freshly caught fish!

Noglin

Don't be fooled by Noglin's adorable looks. Behind that cute face is a mind-bending surprise - the ability to take control of enemy creatures, tames, or even other humans!

Minigun

Who needs to be accurate when you're firing a massive barrage of bullets to keep your enemies under pressure. When you're not wielding it, place it in stationary mode to improve its accuracy and clear targets around corners!

Small Tribes Update

As previously announced, the Small Tribes Rules have been updated and made more stringent to address some of the pain points you've experienced. Along with this comes the need for those sharing defenses to move those defenses or for some tribes to relocate altogether, depending on the location.

The full rules can be found here [survivetheark.com] if you'd like to go over them

We've noticed there hasn't been much progression in this area and we're past the end date of April 23rd!

Because of this, we've decided to give players two more weeks as we'd much prefer not to have tribes wiped by enforcement. Let's address a few questions that have come up from the community to make sure the cave/shared defenses rule is crystal clear. We'd like to take this time to clear up any misconceptions players may have gotten from the last post.

Sharing Center Ice Cave is against the spirit of the rules, irrespective of the fact small and large sides can theoretically be regarded as different defenses, they are quite directly benefiting from the presence of each other in that location If a tribe hasn't relocated (or forcefully taken both sides) by the end of the two-week extension, enforcement will opt to wipe the base on the small side.
Valguero Underground entrances cannot be blocked. Images showing limits for defenses near chokes are shared below. Multiple tribes can live inside but they must not share defenses in any way. For example, a tribe in tree and a tribe on large plateau with their own unique defenses is fine. A tribe at the bottom of the tree and a tribe at the top equates to shared defenses: the defenses at the bottom must be breached to reach the tribe at the top. In this example, the tribe at the bottom would be wiped by enforcement.

Enforcement will begin to take action on these and other similar cases after the 15th of May.

These changes may just be the start, but they've set the stage for possible fine tuning in the months ahead.
