Foundry

A Foundry is a player-created location in Ark that has one or more forges near a metal-rich location.

## Purpose

Rather than hauling all metal back to a base foundries have on-site smelting and *might* include other crafting tables.

## Amenities

Not all locations with rich-metal rocks are foundries. A foundries has all the amenities normally in an outpost, but will include the following:

1. An one or more Advanced Forges
2. A mortar and pestle or Grindstone (from the Advanced Rafts Mod) to make sparkpowder (fuel)

A foundry *might* also include:

* The tables that use lots of raw metal and ingots like those from the Castles Keeps and Forts Mod: the Masonry Table and Blacksmith.
* An anklyo for gathering metal or have a base nearby from which one can be carried in with a large flier.

## PTC Rules

* Always leave some raw metal **if** there is a sign indicating the presence of the Masonry Table and Blacksmith.
* If you use take it, replace it.
* If you are on a mount filled with hide you don't need, drop some off for the next batch of ingots.
* Signs are very important in these locations:

* If you are working on a project and smelting large quantities of metal, please post a sign to let people know you're traveling between locations to haul metal/ingots and include your name and the date
* haul **all** you intend to use before you log off for the night, as any metal or ingots left longer can be used by anyone.

For example, a sign could read, "*Bob is building a castle! BRB for raw and smelted metal! 7/15/18*".
## Signs and Billboards

Signs here important, as they let you know if someone else is currently hauling or smelting metal.

Nanny

The Nanny is from the S+ Mod. Found in a hatchery, the nanny looks like a woman standing still, wearing dark leather gear.

*See the nanny page on the official game wiki for full info.*

## Pros

* Feeds baby dinos when they are at their most demanding, freeing players to gather additional resources or log off and get some sleep!

## Cons

* If there is a sever lag spike, sometimes the auto-feeding will not occur and the baby might die.
Pearl Seeker

Pearl Seeker is a boat that's parked at the Pela Island Foundry. It's a general use boat that anyone is welcome to for pearl diving in the area, provided you park it at the foundry when you leave.

## Game Deatils

This boat is on PTC's Ark server running the Ragnarok map.

## Location

The location can change slightly, but it should be near the Pela Island Foundry, so check that page for details.

## Purpose

It's a small, house-like boat intended for use in the local area, where pearls are plentiful. The area has a lot of metal in the upper areas of rock and this can act as a landing pad for a nimble bird if you are gathering metal.

## Notable Amenities

* A campfire or similar way to cook meat and warm up
* Water access using a tap and pipes from the S+ Mod
* A bed for fast travel
* A smithy for basic armor repair
* A "vanilla" mortar and pestle or Grindstone to make sparkpowder. Sparkpowder is far more efficient than wood and smacking a single rock is often easier than finding a tree.

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* *Please* leave enough fuel for the next person to stay warm overnight and to cook, as many times storms or weather changes makes this attractive rest stops.
* Leave behind any excess supplies weighing you down like wood, stone, etc. if you're stopping for a rest. This isn't required, but nice.
* Leave behind any gear you might otherwise dump, like common looted cloth or leather armor in case you or someone else needs warmth in a pinch.
* *Don't* dump all looted trash in containers here as space is limited. For example, "vanilla" building parts just create clutter, so dump those on the ground or take them to your base's industrial grinder.

## Notes

The roof is large enough to land an arge on and it has a hatchframe and ladder to retrieve your flier.

GFAR Mod - Re-usable Grappling Hook Mod

GFAR Mod - Re-usable Grappling Hook Mod is a game modification (mod) used on PTC's Ark (Ragnarok map) server because it does what it sounds like: it allows you to reuse your grappling hooks.

## Features

The feature of this is actually the benefit of being able to reuse it while spelunking or mountain climbing. Who wants to lug a bunch of grappling hooks? No one on this server, thanks!
Pearl Bay

Pearl Bay is a personal base (Ryanna). It gets its name from the location: a pearl-rich bay at the water's edge.

## Game Deails

This location is on PTC's Ark server running the Ragnarok map.

## Location

### GPS Coordiates

* 85.4
* 56.4

### Map Coordinates

* Latitude: ?
* Longitude: ?

### Landmarks

Pearl Bay is on the coast of the deep desert. There is a enormous rock that looks a bit like a dark shark fin rising from the desert that is visible before the building renders.

## Noteable Regional Resources

* Pearls in the nearby bay.
* Crystal.
* Rich-metal

This location is not far from Sulfur River Outpost, which has (*surprise!*) lots of sulfurous rock.

## Notable Amenities

* This location has all of the crafting tables, a greenhouse, etc.
* This location hosts a hatchery for small and medium-sized creatures.

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* If you come in with a hungry character or dino, do not take so much food that the next player stopping in will find the base supplies deficient.

* Exception when there is a baby being reared here: if visiting and parking overnight (logging off) please do not park bring in adequate food for your own dino, as young dinos require massive supplies to raise.

* It's a personal base, so ask before using dinos.
* If you spend significant time here, feed any dinos.
* Do **not** take any high stat or one-of a kind saddles or armor without asking.

## Wildlife and Dangers

Heat in this type of desert is punishing so dehydration can be a high risk while outside. Dangerous creatures include frequent scorpions and thorny dragons. The region also has sabertooths, terror birds, dire wolves, carnos and hell pigs that maraude in groups. Though they are not common rock elementals do spawn here, so look for rocks that look like them when they are in their resting state, as they are extremely dangerous.

## Screenshot with Landmarks

This is Pearl Bay as seen from the sea. Note the actual bay in the near distance. A large rocky peak that looks a bit like a shark fin in the distance, also known to PTC members as Pride Rock, can be seen. Far, far in the distance the Green Obelisk is visible.

*The image shown includes some nearby landmarks and may not include all amenities and outbuildings.*

Outpost

On the PTC Ark server this is the most common type of player-built location.

While a base will have several amenities, outposts have the bare minimum needed to survive. An outpost can be very small (e.g. to foundations) or large and elaborate (e.g. looks like a library).

## Purpose

Outposts are meant as a place to stop and rest during travel, to stop during server lag, as resurrection points while exploring or fighting, or to provide a "jumping off point" while newer members are building a base.

All of them have a landing roof or pad for fliers to keep you out of reach of attack by ground-based dinos. The exception to the landing pads: a few locations you *should not* loiter in due to *very* high danger may not have a pad, but warnings will be posted on signs.

Players are welcome to log off overnight, but these locations lack (typically) dino highly secure enclosures, so consult posted signs and do so at your own risk in some places.

## Amenities

The minimum amenities for an outpost include:

* A **durable** shelter with stone or better for the foundations, walls, and roof. While some critters can damage stone, it's adequate against most in the majority of places.
* A campfire or similar way to cook meat and warm up.
* Water access, preferably *inside* the building, unless the outpost abuts a water source in a relatively safe location.
* A bed or sleeping bag that *remains* in place at all times.

They *might* include:

* A smithy for armor repair.
* A "vanilla" mortar and pestle or Grindstone to make sparkpowder. Sparkpowder is far more efficient than wood and smacking a single rock is often easier than finding a tree.

## PTC Rules

These locations are a free for all, but:

* *Please* leave enough fuel for the next person to stay warm overnight and to cook, as many times storms or weather changes makes this attractive rest stops.
* Leave behind any excess supplies weighing you down like wood, stone, etc. if you're stopping for a rest. This isn't required, but nice.
* Leave behind any gear you might otherwise dump, like common looted cloth or leather armor in case you or someone else needs warmth i a pinch.
* *Don't* dump all looted trash in containers here as space is limited. For example, "vanilla" building parts just create clutter, so dump those on the ground or take them to your base's industrial grinder.

## Billboards and Signs

If a location is of particular interest or very high danger, it's often noted on a sign or billboard, so read them!

LC Lawn Chairs Mod

LC Lawn Chairs Mod is a game modification (mod) used on PTC's Ark (Ragnarok map) server because it adds a straight-up lawn chair.

## Features

This lightweight mod has a lawn chair you can craft in your inventory. Once placed you can toggle it between several styles. Ya'll need a lawn chair on your boat roof for fishin'!
Advanced Forge

This is a forge from the Advanced Rafts Mod.

It is commonly used on the PTC Ark (Ragnarok map) because it is a step up from the regular "vanilla" forge, but its size and efficiency make it a great alternative to the "vanilla" industrial forge.

## Pros

* Rapidly converts raw metal into ingots
* Takes up significantly less space.

* Does not require a power source like a wind turbine or generator.

## Cons

* While it can be used to make gasoline, it will *also* burn gasoline, so refinery tasks are better reserved for the industrial forge.
Camp

On the PTC server running Ark (Ragnarok map), a camp is any player-created location that serves as a resurrection point near dangerous areas (e.g. caves, wyverns, murder snow) or in places commonly used for shorter stops when traveling between bases and/or outposts.

## Purpose

Camps aim to provide a place to land a flier in a storm, extreme cold, or during server lag. Unlike outposts the *lack* any assurance of safety due to minimal durability or zero shelter (less protection than stone or none at all), so leaving your keyboard or logging off is not advised. Some are in high danger areas, which is indicated on any placed sleeping bags.

## Amenities

Camps are even more minimal than outposts but most have:

1. A tent from the Eco's Camping Mod to provide temporary thermal protection.
2. A campfire, often from the same mod because they are more durable.
3. A lantern from the same mod so you can spot them when passing by or see any nearby danger while resting.

Some locations will have:
* The backpack (same mod) that is useful for storage, but that also has crafting options for emergency rations. These rations are not very filling, but can help keep you alive until you find better food.
* Reusable sleeping bags (same mod) on the ground **or**
* Reusable sleeping bags inside the backpack

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* If you're exploring an area and dying often, place and remove sleeping bags.
* If you create a new camp, please name the **all** bags to describe what's there and include important warnings *in the name*. For example, the camp *Wyvern Cliffs (HIGH DANGER!)*

## Signs and Billboards

The only signs in most of these locations is a placed sleeping bag. Read the location name and make sure you want to stop there!

MrRadTools.INC Mod

MrRadTools.INC Mod is a game modification (mod) used on PTC's Ark (Ragnarok map) server because it adds a several dino gates and pen walls that make building on uneven ground easier (hello, corner pieces!), adds lookout towers, and several really powerful weapons and tools. It lives up to the name *RAD*!

## Features

This robust mod is better described by looking over the items on the modder's official site.

## Popular Items

* The bed for this is compact and looks less like it belongs in a horror movie than the "vanilla" cot. It doesn't have any collision. Rest on it to recuperate faster after battle.
* Sleek, modren decor items.
* A lounger for those of you who think they're *above* for lawn chairs. Humph!
* Storage that makes sense, including stack-able small boxes that don't take up so much space.
* Oil barrels
* The gauss rifle is serious business, but very "costly" to make and repair. If you live in Giga country, it may be worth it though.
* This mod has a badass obsidian sword if you like it up close and personal. It's not as "costly" s the rifle, but not easy either. Look out Ginsu, we're making spino steaks with a few swoops!

I was also surprised at first, but apparently, pouring milk into a cup with a black tea base to become milk tea has become popular.
Ah, wait! It might be too hot if you drink it like that, so give it to me first?
\*blows into the cup\*
I think this is fine? Go on. Is it good? That's great!
Next, put in the syrup to change the taste. With the refreshing acidity of the raspberry syrup, it's really delicious.
...How is it? I thought of a lot of things that might be good but...
...It's good that you're pleased with it.
...
Ah, sorry, I kept staring at you. Looking at your happy face, I also feel relieved.
If I see your smiling face everyday, I'll definitely be very happy...
Ah!? T-this...I am not proposing!? I'm sorry for making you misunderstand!
N-no, I mean it's not like I don't want to, I just think you'd be troubled if I suddenly propose to you!

Bijou Island Foundry

Bijou Island Foundry is a foundry and tiny outpost built on a raft.

## Game Details

This location is on PTC's server running the Ragnarok map.

### Landmarks

Bijou Island Foundry is in the string of islands on the west coast of the Ragnarok map. While standing near the trough and looking inland, both the blue and green obelisk, though the green is much closer.

The next closest location are New Herbivoria which has more amenities and Mindy's Base.

## Notable Amenities

In *addition* to regular outpost amenities, this location includes the following:

* An ankylosaurus for general use for use by anyone.
* The foundry and outpost are built on the raft so visitors can easily load the anylo of the raft, the sail around the coast to gather metal fast.
* An Advanced Forge from the Advanced Rafts Mod. This forge smelts faster than the "vanilla" Ark forge.

## Wildlife and Dangers

This region is exceptionally safe. The island is home to herbivores only and even lacks pesky ichthiornis (a.k.a a-hole birds). The sea around it is quite deep and has the expected aquatic creatures both hostile and docile.

## Notes

Anyone is welcome to use this foundry and outpost.

* In addition to resupplying resources you use, please check that the ankylo has berries in the trough and that the trough is powered.
* Please park the foundry raft near coastline with the pillar that marks the trough location.

Forbidden Grotto Keep

Forbidden Grotto Keep is an outpost that sits atop a mossy rock in a region known as The Forbidden Grotto (official Ragnarok name).

## Game Deails

This location is on PTC's Ark server running the Ragnarok map.

## Location

### GPS Coordiates

* *info to be provided*
* *info to be provided*

### Map Coordinates

* Latitude: *info to be provided*
* Longitude: *info to be provided*

### Landmarks

Forbidden Grotto Keep is a halfway point between the Four Directions Library outpost.

## Noteable Regional Resources

* This location is not far huge quantities of crystal on several green ridges.

Fly around the ridges here at night and it's easy to spot, but be warned that the nocturnal Megalosaurus is known to spawn near the areas where the crystal is plentiful and the shade trees heavy. Just return to these regions when it's light out as the Megalosaurus is much weaker if you stumble upon it and manage to disturb it in the daylight.

## Notable Amenities

* This location is a *very* basic outpost. It has water, cooking supplies, and a smithy. A backpack holds a sleeping bag that can be used for emergency travel. Please return and put it back after use.
* This location was created because flight in this region can be visually confusing during the haze of extreme storms. Though the Garage of Doom (Jorge's base) is not far from here, but parking there is very tight, so this is often a better spot to stop and rest.
* The building acts as a wall to keep fliers safe if you need to rest or log off.

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* *Please* leave enough fuel for the next person to stay warm overnight and to cook, as many times storms or weather changes makes this attractive rest stops.
* Leave behind any excess supplies weighing you down like wood, stone, etc. if you're stopping for a rest. This isn't required, but nice.
* Leave behind any gear you might otherwise dump, like common looted cloth or leather armor in case you or someone else needs warmth in a pinch.
* *Don't* dump all looted trash in containers here as space is limited. For example, "vanilla" building parts just create clutter, so dump those on the ground or take them to your base's industrial grinder.

## Wildlife and Dangers

No danger has been observed at this location, but the lush green areas below it are home to many allosaurus packs, easily startled tickle chickens (theriz), raptors, rexes, and around other ridges, arges. Though rare, Megalosaurus can appear in this region and they are *very* dangerous at night.

## Screenshot with Landmarks

This is Forbidden Grotto Keep as seen from the air while flying above and toward the sea. Note the Blue Obelisk and the small rocky formations in the sea. If you flew over the building from this point, you'd eventually spot the rock that is the namesake of Odin's Throne.

Hidana Castle

Hidana Castle is a PTC (shared) base. It's located in the plains for which it is named.

## Game Details

This location is on PTC's Ark server running the Ragnarok map.

## Location

### GPS Coordinates

* 51.3 (or map Latitude)
* 39.4 (or map Longitude)

### Landmarks

Hidana Castle is not terribly far from the Green Obelisk. It sit on a small lake and river, which is in a copse of ever evergreens. A waterfall from the snowy area nearby is close behind it.

## Notable Amenities

* Because this location is a PTC base it should have all of the crafting tables from every mod.
* *Info to be provided*

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* This location does not have any communal animals (as of summer 2018) so do not use any parked dinos without asking.
* If you come in with a hungry character or dino, do not take so much food that the next player stopping in will find the base supplies deficient.

**Shared Item Boxes on the Roof:**
* Blue box: a box for shared blueprints. Return them to the box when they are not in use.

* This is so any looted blueprints members don't need can be contributed to the location. Keeping them in the box makes it easy to see if the excess are better than local blueprints at a glance.

* Pink box: excess gear anyone can take.
* Exotic Chest (colors vary): saddles and extra blueprints that are identical to local blueprints that anyone can take.

## Wildlife and Dangers

The immediate area around the building is moderately safe, but stray far and you may encounter terror birds, raptors, and carnos. Heading in the direction of the snowy edge and very near redwoods, griffins are a risk. Travel in the direction of the sea and raptor numbers increase significantly and rexes are common. On rare but heart-stopping occasions, a giga will roam near the rocky mound with metal, near eastern mountain's edge.

## Screenshot with Landmarks

This is the view of Hidana Castle from the sky on the inland side of the building. This location is on a small lake in a small copse of evergreens on an otherwise open plain. Note the waterfall behind the caste (to the left) on the same side as the *minor* redwoods in this area. This is on the west coast of the map, **not** to confused with major redwoods near the highlands. If you followed the river it eventually takes you toward the sea and you'll see this is not too far from the Green Obelisk.

The Stacks

The Stacks is a personal base (Ayenn's). It gets it's name from the design; the base itself is built on platforms, with a one floor "stacked" on to of another.

## Game Deails

This location is on PTC's server running the Ragnarok map.

## Location

### GPS Coordiates

* 43.5
* 64.2

### Map Coordinates

* Latitude: 44
* Longitude: 65

### Landmarks

The Stacks is in the redwoods on the first vibrant blue lake formed by the runoff of the icy mountain area, which is just behind The Stacks. The high peaks of Ingrid's Pass, with its darker soil and metallic striations can be seen while standing at The Stacks, looking in the direction of the desert. There is a small stable for small to medium sized dinos or fliers.

## Noteable Regional Resources

* The hills of this region have obsidian scattered around, but it's a great point from which one can hunt animals for fur in the nearby snow.
* This base has is close to the public Ingrid's Pass Foundry, which has a plethora of metal.

## Notable Amenities

* One platform is for parking large flier and the other a two-level building.
* An enclosed stable is on the ground for small-medium mounts.
* This location has all of the crafting tables, a greenhouse, etc.

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* If you come in with a hungry character or dino, do not take so much food that the next player stopping in will find the base supplies deficient.
* If it's a personal base, ask before using dinos.
* If you spend time there, feed any dinos.
* Do **not** take any high stat or one-of a kind saddles or armor without asking.

## Wildlife and Dangers

This region somewhat dangerous with frequent caros, some troodons, and terror birds. Dire bears are here as well, so take care where you walk. Because it is close to murder snow, it is frequently cold. Hunters headed for the snow will need fur armor. The snowy peaks can have a risk of ice wyvens, so travel the snowy areas with caution.

## Notes

The platforms are connected via elevators. Be cautious when landing on the ground outside of the stable, as there are no dino pen or gates.

## Screenshot with Landmarks

This is the view flying in low from murder snow, looking toward the mountains with Ingrid's Pass Foundry. Note the stream. It leads to the vibrant blue lake that is easy to spot from the sky when coming from the other direction. Both of the platforms that can be seen, as well as the stable on the ground.

Savanna Taming Island

Savanna Taming Island is a larger Taming Pen located in the Savanna Desert Region (all very large islands) of the Ragnarok map. If you look closely though, it's barely attached to the nearby grasslands of the mainland, with only a small, very shallow stretch of water separating the two distinct types of landscapes.

## Game Deails

This location is on PTC's Ark server running the Ragnarok map.

## Location

### GPS Coordiates

* 74.6 (or map Latitude)
* 25.2 (or map Longitude)

### Landmarks

Savanna Taming Island is the first tiny island in the savanna desert region of the map. On the map, it is so close to the nearby mainland looks as if it is attached to the mainland, as it it a barely noticeable brown spot at the tip of the green on the west coast.

## Noteable Regional Resources

* The main resource here is the location's proximity to two distinct biomes, each with some wildlife that is desirable to tame and the complete lack of wildlife on the island.
* The savanna desert region is prone to rock elementals, which are nearly impossible to defeat by normal means, so the location is a great way to avoid stumbling around and waking one up.
* Poplar dinos to tame from the desert savanna thorny dragons and morellatops ("camelsaurus") are nearby.

## Notable Amenities

* This location is similar an outpost, but is most complete taming pen location, complete with a very large taming pen.

A small building for log offs includes the extra amenities:
* All of the tables from the Immersive Taming Mod, permanently set up for easy use.
* Full greenhouse for making bait from the Immersive Taming Mod.
* Ample food and bait storage.

## PTC Rules

* If you're taming a dino here, let everyone know so there's not a conflict if someone else wants to use it.
* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* Please refill the fertilizer in the crop plots and reseed as needed if you take crops to use,
* This location does not have any communal animals (as of summer 2018) so do not use any parked dinos without asking.

## Wildlife and Dangers

This location has no danger, though it's possible for an easy crossing from the mainland through the shallows, if one animal is pursing another.

## Screenshot with Landmarks

This is Savanna Taming Island as seen from the air on the right side of the island. The island is landscaped with trees on one side with green ground lights that mark the path up the rocky area to the small building. Note the Green Obelisk is clearly visible from here. Traveled to the mainland you'd be in a large bay with a clear beach. Not far up the coast on the mainland a white, rocky landscape marks the home of *many* wyverns, so travel that region carefully if you are looking for dinos to tame.

* In most cases, hatcheries are annexes or outbuildings to *personal* bases in most cases, so please ask the location owner if you can use the location or camp long term!

## Signs and Billboards

Signs here tend to alert you to dino parking for visitors.

## List of Hatchery Locations

Taming Raft

Taming Raft is a *type* of boat that may be parked in more than one location, though as of fall 2018 there is one that *anyone* can use parked near the Viking Bay Dock House.

## Game Info

This boat is on PTC's Ark server running the Ragnarok map.

## Locations

The location can change slightly, but it should be near the Viking Bay Dock House, so check that page for details.

## Purpose

The Taming Rafts are meant for use when anyone wants to tame a dino that's often found off a coast. The boat has an open top and assumes you are taming an aggressive dino by luring it in the pen. The doors can be switched to auto-open/close to make this easier.

## Notable Amenities

* A campfire or similar way to cook meat and warm up
* Water access using a tap and pipes from the S+ Building Mod
* A bed or sleeping bag for fast travel
* A smithy for basic armor repair
* A "vanilla" mortar and pestle or Grindstone to make sparkpowder. Sparkpowder is far more efficient than wood and smacking a single rock is often easier than finding a tree.

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* *Please* leave enough fuel for the next person to stay warm overnight and to cook, as many times storms or weather changes makes this attractive rest stops.
* Leave behind any excess supplies weighing you down like wood, stone, etc. if you're stopping for a rest. This isn't required, but nice.
* Leave behind any gear you might otherwise dump, like common looted cloth or leather armor in case you or someone else needs warmth in a pinch.
* *Don't* dump all looted trash in containers here as space is limited. For example, "vanilla" building parts just create clutter, so dump those on the ground or take them to your base's industrial grinder.

### Landmarks

Wilderness Hill Outpost is ...*info to be provided*

## Noteable Regional Resources

It mainly serves as a resting point, and though the area does have some rich-metal rocks, those working on a major project would be better served by traveling to the nearest foundry. This location is at a near halfway point between Dark Star (PTC public base) and Ingrid's Pass Foundry, which is very near The Stacks (Ayenn's base).

## Notable Amenities

* This location is a very basic outpost. It has water, cooking supplies, and a smithy. A backpack holds a sleeping bag that can be used for emergency travel. Please return and put it back after use.
* This location was created because flight in this region can be tedious and nights dangerously cold. The area is home badgers which can knock you off an average mount and eat you in a heartbeat.
* Log offs here are not advised, due to the potential risk of an ice wyvern chasing another dino into the area. It's not common, but it *can* happen.

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* *Please* leave enough fuel for the next person to stay warm overnight and to cook, as many times storms or weather changes makes this attractive rest stops.
* Leave behind any excess supplies weighing you down like wood, stone, etc. if you're stopping for a rest. This isn't required, but nice.
* Leave behind any gear you might otherwise dump, like common looted cloth or leather armor in case you or someone else needs warmth in a pinch.
* *Don't* dump all looted trash in containers here as space is limited. For example, "vanilla" building parts just create clutter, so dump those on the ground or take them to your base's industrial grinder.

## Wildlife and Dangers

The landing pad is typically safe. It connects to the ground with a long and winding staircase. Even so, an ice wyvern does fly around the snowy regions nearby cave and mountain above and chase dinos outside of the snow, so overnight log off could be risky. On the ground below badgers are the highest risk.
