Tribe Tier System

This is based off the Primal Fear Tier System. They all start out at Primitive Tribe status and will evolve over time.

Trading

You can offer the NPCs gifts to increase your reputation. Once you attempt to offer them something they will tell you what they currently want.

Chat

You can speak to the NPCs using chat by doing @ and then there name eg.. @Alfie where are you or @Tony what level are you. They also respond to any question or remark you make.

UI

There is a UI Available by pressing F10 this shows NPCs and your reputation with each tribe. You can also Wipe the NPCs if you are logged in as the server admin.

Questing

NPCs will announce in chat when a quest is available, You can ask where they are and go see them to start the quest. Reputation/Items are awarded for completion.

Taming

NPC Tribes will tame, control & ride their own dinos. You can also recruit the NPCs into your tribe.

Harvesting

Once spawned in NPCs will harvest their own resources. You can kill the NPCs to loot the resources they collect, but you will lose reputation with the NPC tribe.

Harvesting Hire

Once you have a high enough reputation you can hire NPCs to collect resources for you.

Alliances

As your reputation climbs, it will open up the option to ally with the NPC tribe. Once you do this you will be able to use their structures and creatures.

Raiding

If you decide not to befriend the NPC tribes and your reputation falls low enough you're in for some trouble. If the tribe finds you, your base or you dinos while out on patrol they will most likely attempt to raid you and kill your tames.

Dynamic Weapons

The NPCs can use most weapons in the game and will equip the proper weapon/tool depending on the situation.

Dynamic Armor

As the NPCs expand and evolve they have the ability to use all armor types available in the game. The armor types will match the tier level of the tribe.

Patrols

The NPCs go on regular patrols looking for tames and for players with low reputations.

Base Building

They currently build 6 different types of bases ranging from thatch to tek, and are based on the tribes tier level. You can raid these but be warned, they do use turrets. Once defeated you can get regular loot out of it.

Specific Zoning

There will be zone specific NPCs (Radiation, Snow Biome, Desert, etc.) This is still a work in progress but is planned.
