BoXXy, Thanks to the new update!!!

Also, don’t worry about it, you’re good!!! No one usually posts their stories in Achatina because of this problem. Achatina is the hub for all of the readers and writers to talk about stuff they’ve read, or random things and so on(mainly because, no one actually posts Ark stories about their tamed Achatina in Achatina. Like at one point, someone was posting IRL recipes in here to get activity)!!! I’d probably suggest that you might not post stories in Achatina though, and try reposting them in one of the other creature pages. Because like you shown, people will post here daily. So stories will get severely drowned out by people chatting and so on. And to get around when we posted chapters, we’d post something small saying ‘Ultimus Chapter so on and so forth has been posted/released in Angler’ and such so that way people knew we were still releasing chapters. And 9/10, everyone saw could see the posts. So posting 2-3 times a day isn’t bad, honestly it’s quite nice to see so much activity come back to Achatina these past couple months!!! Heck, we use to post the most completely Ark unrelated things in here, and at our peak, each of us would post 3 times a day. There were so, so many posts coming through here back then, that we would get lost in other peoples conversations and lose the conversation we were just in. So your posts are pretty okay and our easy to keep track of other people’s conversations. Most things considered, I’d just say move your stories to a new creature page so they don’t get buried like I did.

And if you still are worried about hogging and throwing too many unrelated conversations in here. We did make a solution to that because we thought of the same thing years ago. And it involves the Fandom Wiki I mentioned earlier. There is a discussion board that we talk in over there. It’s more convenient to read conversations and we have a lot more legroom to talk about random things all the time. You do need a fandom account but it’s not intrusive at all, and most people can peer into the posts we make without an account. But, you don’t have to join, it is an option, but you’re doing nothing wrong by posting two to three times a day in here BoXXy!!!

And this goes for everyone here too!!! You all can post how much you need to or want to in here!! No one will stop you, and you aren’t gonna bury anyone’s true Achatina stories, because there aren’t ever any in here!!! So post what you need or want to!!! It’s okay to!!!

Anyway, that’s it for me tonight I think.

Until Next Time!!

Boxxy, okay, so there are six clans!! I guess will have to just wait and see who they are then!!! Thank you for the help!!! I can't wait to read the next chapter of The Dwellings!!!

Also, I had no trouble understanding either of these stories!! And so far, your stories are very good!!! All I would say is dialogue should be more separated from one another on new lines, but otherwise your story is very good so far!!! And I don’t think they’re trash!!!!

And to your question; Yes, Moonflight (or Moon for short) is still very much active. She has finished The Obelisk, but is not finished with the universe she’s wrote in (although it has went through a soft reboot since she wrote The Obelisk.). Currently she is working on three stories within this universe, Clans, Pandora, and See. With a fourth story coming sometime when she’s finished the other said three, which also happens to be the remake of The Obelisk, called Rune.

I can’t wait to read more of your stories BoXXy!!!

Until Next Time!!

glad to see this is still a thing, i used to write in 2022 before the silver dye falloff thing. crazy how the community is still alive

Hello! I’m here to share a a true story for you! I’m typing this RIGHT after it happened:

So I live in extinction with my brother on split screen, in the badlands at the obelisk,

And you know that cave at the border full of bugs? Well, we decided to go there, but before all that let me take you back,

At first we spawned in the ice zone, we wanted a REAL challenge (but idk why ark itself isn’t enough of a challenge for us because it definitely IS and we barely ever get very far before giving up) and after a bit of dying, we got enough fortitude to survive the cold with some cloth armor, we found a cozy little cliff side to settle down and for a while, life was good

But after a bit the trees were running out and we needed a safer way to survive down the cliff (there was a path down but no dinosaur ever came up for some reason) and I thought the BRILLIANT idea of trying to tame a level 20 dire wolf with a bola and bat, so me and my brother ventured down and found one, long story short we EVENTUALLY got one, I named her Bella, Bella miracle because at the time she would completely change the way things would go, no more Going down for resource and dying to wolf or deadon And for a while, life was good.

I decided eventually that I wanted to take me and my brothers dire wolf on a hunt for a snow owl, at that point we had metal stuff and I had a crossbow with about 30-40 tranqs, I didn’t want to build a trap and couldn’t build a net projectile, I would have to shoot and track, and that actually worked! The snow owl I knocked out was a level 2 but I was just happy it was low enough to tranq but at that moment 5-6 deadon came, they didn’t seem to see the snow owl and went for me and my brother, I was scared they would kill the owl so we led them to a river, the deadon all went for me and I told my brother to go farther down the river and log out, (this was so that I could lead them away and not drag him with me) and he did it, it was just me and Bella miracle, at the edge of a cliff that led to a trench full of water and no way out, in the end I ran out of stam and Bella died to the horde of level 20 and 55 deadon (I think I’m spelling that wrong?) but it was not in vain, I managed to jump down into a trench full of water the deadon ended up killing me, but there was no way out and they drowned In The trench.

But that wasn’t the end, I respawned and went to the unconscious snow owl taking only the leftover cloth clothes and cooked meat from our chest and went and fed the owl,

After a bit it was tamed and I traveled back, it wasn’t a long way and I met no dire wolf or deadon on the way, life was good

It was a few hours later we got my stuff back from the trench and built a snow owl saddle i named my snow owl Soren (he is now my favorite tame and I love him dearly) from the the movie and decided to move to the desert/badlands, the snow had minimal species and was covered in deadon and dire wolf and was becoming a difficult place to be, so I flew across the wasteland just skimming the sanctuary for minimal corrupted creatures and flew into the badlands, soon after we built base and got my brother back in the game, life was good, and a lot happened here and there but this is getting pretty long so let’s go forward a bit,

I painted Soren yellow and red, he looks epic now, we got a managarmr lvl 68 and gasbag lvl 50 named Khione and Anemio, Soren was a level 69 and I was a level 99, my brothers dire wolf died somewhere along the way, and I found the cave a talked about earlier, it was a sad memory, we lost my brothers lvl 70 velonasaur named Edmond rock, his very favorite tame ever, he loved him dearly and will be forever remembered, but we needed XP and wanted revenge! So we decided to try again to defeat the bugs and, most importantly, the rubble golem that was the reason Edmund died and we had a plan, we would use my gasbag with 344 oxygen to tank the damage in front, my snow owl will heal them whenever it was below half health, and the mana will deal the damage. It was fool proof, but this tip is VERY long, and I like leaving people hanging, so I will finish this in the next tip: - BoXXy ✌️Thanks for enjoying and I hope you read!

Hey gamer guy! It’s me BoXXy! I like that idea you posted, and also have played grounded (I really did try to get into it but eventually got bored with it) I’m a single player too! I’m literally writing this and waiting for a gasbag to tame (I needed a soaker) and for some reason it makes me happy to see people still just chilling in solo! I just figured I’d say some things! Have a good day :)

Uh,,,, lit just read somebody passed away? Sorry for whoever knew her… honestly don’t know what to say, I uh also never expected to see a post on here about that kinda stuff.. 😢

R.I.P. may Tina Rest In Peace and love. I didn’t know her so I can’t say much else.. regardless, everyone deserves to Rest In Peace.

Journey Through All Creatures

Chapter 1: Swamp Snail

This is the official remake of Journey Through All Creatures’ first chapter.

Original Post Date: Oct. 5, 2024

Note, story starts in Achatina, The Island ABC order for Section I and has a Prologue. Prologue is in the same section as this. Next chapter in Allosaurus.

It was late into the afternoon. The sun had begun drifting to the west horizon. Just north of the swamp was a small, 2 by 2 thatch hut with a bed and storage box inside. All that lay outside was a campfire. It was far from the deep and thick jungle, close to the ocean shore. Then the door swung open. A survivor walked out of it, holding a bola and a club. The survivor walked south towards the swamp, looking around the area.

“Okay.. first creature on my list should be around here somewhere…” The survivor said. He continued walking until he reached the swamp waters, the thick and low-hanging trees, and multiple snakes and dilos. Then there it was: The Achatina. The first of many creatures that Sodden would need to kill on his journey. Sodden then crept up behind a snail slowly sliding towards the water. He threw a bola at it and then beat it repeatedly with his club. Then he heard quiet hissing behind him and turned around quickly. He shouted as he saw a snake going towards him. He then slammed his club into the snake’s head and shot it down with a bow. Then he turned back to the snail, who was hiding in the shell. He beat it over and over until the snail fell unconscious, then he shot it down with the bow. Sodden nodded and turned back around to return to his base.

—-------------------------

I hope you enjoyed this remake. It’d be good to give this more points than the original, just so it’s easier to find it, especially considering how much Achatina is used. Anyway, that’s all.

hey guys uhh I’m a bit confused here

can anyone fill me in on who and what happened to Tina? I’m sorry if it’s sensitive to bring up, but my answer of what happened to her is kinda foggy so I’d appreciate it if anyone could tell me. thanks.

-SomeGamerGuy

Today, one of my family asked this: “ what’s the point of living if all we do is die, hurt, and lose the things we love. Well, I’m here to tell you the same thing I told them “ there are many reasons to live! Sure, we hurt and die and lose things, but we’re only human anyway, if we didn’t hurt we would be missing out on a lot of lessons live has to give, pain is a lesson and without it we are numb, and dying is part of live! staying alive forever would doom the ecosystem! Not to mention in the end, if you lived forever eventually you would become insane having seen so much, and losing things is unavoidable, but if you truly love that thing, you will remember it in your heart! Having all those things is what makes you human! Think of someone who couldn’t die or hurt and has never lost anything in life? Someone who knows they live forever, never lost anything but still got things, and hasn’t hurt? They wouldn’t even know what pain is! Now think of someone who knows they all die someday, they’ve lost things, and they’ve hurt, but they felt things! They’ve learned the lesson! Sure they lost things but now those things haven’t lost all meaning! She remembered them in her heart, and she’s loved and hurt, but isn’t that better then being numb to life? In fact! It’s a wonderful life if you try to live it! So I ask you this, don’t think of live as something awful because you die and hurt and lose things, think of it as a lesson and love. -BoXXy 💕

Evening (for me), people.

I am finally back.

Gonna TRY and write smth tomorrow.

moar wurds.

-Ranger

BoXXy,

I am new to this community as well, but I’m just a viewer and not an author.

I will be more than happy to support your stories!

If you ever feel discouraged or feel like you “suck” at storytelling, let me give you advice:

We all sucked at something once, but it’s the ones that kept going forward that turned out to be experts at the subject.

-SomeGamerGuy, a silksong player.

To BoXXy-

Thank you for checking out my story! So basically the prologue is set in the old Kivol kargi city. Kivol kargi means “Venom walker” in Wyvernian Speech. Kivol kargi is based off of dragons that are humanoids but this variant can spit out poison! The Kivol kargi are being pushed from their city by the Hiiva kargi. Hiiva kargi is “Fire walker” in Wyvernian Speech. Hiiva kargi are another variant of these dragon-people who can spew out fire! They are more aggressive than the Kivol kargi and therefore trying to conquer their city. Which they did.

Dude, I finally knocked out a palaeoctopus, I had been trying all day yesterday and all morning today, literally got up at 7:00 just to try to tame one early, and I found a level 9 one stuck in Corel, I really needed a low level so that it has less torpor because last time I got jumped by a level 60 and ended up spending 10 of my 100 bio toxin just to suffocate right before he went unconscious, I’m typing while waiting for this pala to tame rn, he was stuck in Corel and ended up going camo in it, so I went up and fed the bio, finally a knocked out pala, they all seem to spawn at the top of the water and never come down for some reason so I haven’t been able to tame one, though I had a billboard trapped one on land because I had read some beach bob tip saying lead to land and let it grab you, but that’s not the case because they don’t grab on land. -BoXXy

Hey, same guy who posted the health and melee stat tips here and I want to say, I think telling you one last thing might help some understand a BIT better if you didn’t already,

Think of a gallimimus, 200% speed,

Now think of a Rex with 300% speed, it’s not faster!

Now think of a human with 200 weight, put your stuff that weights 100 into a, let’s say raptor with also 200 weight, if you put your stuff into that raptor he now has 100 out of 200 weight, Just like you! That’s because it’s a exact number, like health and oxygen, but melee and speed are not, so your stats may vary between tames.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION (I’m posting this here because this is the hub for Dododex) I wanted you all to know this:

Let’s say I have a Rex with 2000 health and 200% melee, now the health is an exact number but the melee is not

Now let’s say my enemy is a dodo with 3000 health and 300% melee, the dodo has more health but WONT do more dmg because The dodos dmg is NOT an exact number! It’s practically adding more to the dodos already set damage, but not exactly like that. That’s also why let’s say the ice titan has 500000 health(alpha) and is so hard to kill but only has 170% melee but can still one shot you level 200 Rex. It’s because of an exact number VS a % do you get it now? I’m not saying a level 1 Rex with 200 health and 10% melee can’t kill a level222222 dodo with 3000 health and 500% melee but do you get it? Because I hope you don’t kill your level 2500 ice titan because he only has 179% melee, cuz that ice titan can kill almost anything solo (not including any bosses I have not tested that) and if I had a dodo with an. Exact number like 200 melee instead of 200% melee he would take a 300 health Rex to 100 health, but that won’t happen with percentages. hope this helps you calculate some stats better, Bye!

*muffled screams under piles of Achatina posts*

*more muffled screams*

*a sudden burst of posts from June as I emerge underneath all of the posts with a loud gasp*

Heller everyone!!! (A note to new comers, you might gloss through my post or some others as we do like to address everyone individually sometimes) Sorry for the terrible lurkingness I have been doing. I’ve been working and trying to write when I’m not doing other things. But also, just forgetting and playing games or reading books (just finished the first three volumes of the warrior cats graphic novels, going to definitely be reading the next three too!!!). But I am caught up on what all has happened. Lemme just address everything though.

First of all, I haven’t said hello to all of the new faces, maybe I have to a couple of you. But, it’s been a while, sorry, lol!!! Greetings and Salutations BoXXy, SomeGamerGuy, and Valguero Girl!!!!! Welcome to Achatina!!!! I do apologize for not doing this sooner. I kept meaning to all these past few months but I’ve just been scattered.

BoXXy, WELCOME!!!! I read prologue, and chapters 2-4 of The Dwelling!!!! I really like it so far!!! I’m excited to see Nova’s journey on finding the artifacts and seeing what is ripping into the den!!! I can’t find Chapter I though, but I understood everything besides not seeing what happened in that chapter. I also read The Warrior Pachys (good thing I read Warrior Cats, lol!!) I really like it so far!!! But I think you might’ve spoiled something or made an error. You mention that there’s six clans, but you only named five. It’s great so far though!!!! I can’t wait to see more of Redhorn, Brighthorn and the rest of the clans!!! I might suggest you read some of Moon’s stories if you really like Warrior Cats, she has a story she’s writing called Clans and it’s really good!!!!

Also saw your post on what your parents asked you. I really liked your answer that you made in that post!! It was really good!!! Also also, Congratulations on getting to level 100!!!! And that’s awesome that your dad is getting you an Xbox!!!! Congrats on that too!!!!!

Valguero Girl, I read your chapter of The Island and I really liked it!!!! I’m surprised that Sailor was able to knock out a Parasaur with one punch!!! I can’t wait to see what happens in the next chapter!!!

SomeGamerGuy, Hello and welcome!!! I too was once a viewer/reader of the stories and conversations of Achatina, look at me now, with… RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!! THIS WILL BE YOUR FATE TOO!!!! THERE TOO LOVABLE HERE TO LEAVE YOU AS JUST A READER!!!! lol!! But I was just a reader for a long time. Also I can’t wait to see your story you’re working on!! It sounds really cool!!!! Also, I actually play a lot Grounded myself!!! It’s such an awesome game!!!!!! I really love my survival games and some of my shooters too (though I wouldn’t say I’m a big shooter fan). Mainly I play dinosaur games and such!!!

Break-It, Glad to see you back!!!! Also, don’t worry, look at me, I’ve been lurking for a couple months and now I’ve finally posted and no one’s mad at me!! (I lie to myself in lack of confidence). I can’t wait to see your story!!!!!

SpecialRaptor/Zznake, I am late to respond to this but don’t worry with what happened with you and Ben. I know he already said this, but I can tell you that there have been many miscommunications with messages and stuff like that in here. Yours is minimal compared to the war that happened when SunnyFox/Mr.GhostGamer joined Achatina. lol!! It was chaos!!!! Also, I never answered this question, but I have never played Animal Jam. Can’t wait for the next chapter of Troop The Troodon!!!!

Did I cover everything? I hope I didn’t. If I did though, please mention it, if I didn’t but you got questions, just ask!!! I’ll try to answer in a better and more timely fashion!!! Also, if you guys are looking for stories from any of the writers you see here like Moon, Ben, Sunny, MrGhostGamer, Break-It, SpecialRaptor and so on. Go to the Dododex Fanfiction Wiki on Fandom. It’s basically a Wikipedia of most of the writers who’ve written in Achatina. Cover most of their stories and where to find them and where to read them. I’m sorry to sound like an Ad here, I’m not, I’m just mentioning that if you’re looking for a story and can’t find it. There is a tool that we have to find them.

Anyway, that’s it for now.

Until Next Time!

Dwelling’s chapter 7 is in progress y’all, I’ve been inactive for awhile besides a few tips and finally started, just thought I’d letcha know. -BoXXy

To Dubxshrimp:

Your prologue so far is great! I like the story so far, although I’m a bit confused on who the soldiers and attackers are, but it might just be me, but regardless, it really cool so far! I hope you continue it. -BoXXy

I just learned that my father is getting me an XBOX and ark ascended is actually on game pass!! My dad already has game pass and an XBOX so when we get ours I can get ASA!!!!! I play ASE rn and I completely sympathize with mobile and people who can ONLY play ASE Like I can currently, I do wish they still added things to ASE and didn’t shut down the servers but OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSS I hope all you mobile and ASE players someday get to play ASA! I’m just so happy I thought I’d share some good news! I’m so sorry if you don’t have asa and this makes you sad but I really can’t wait man!

Hey boxxy! Congrats on level 100! I know grounded isn’t for everyone, but for me it is incredibly addicting. I feel like more people should enjoy single player instead of pvp multiplayer (the stuff I have heard is vile) Anyway, I hope you the best of luck on your stories.
