Enforcer on Island?
So, I received an unassembled Enforcer from one of the Winter Wonderland drops, and have also received a fair amount of Element Dust. The Enforcer isn't terribly high-level, only 20something IIRC. I have yet to actually assemble/activate the Enforcer, though, because I am playing on the Island and have no source for Element to power it once the existing supply of Element Dust runs out.

This is on an unofficial (Nitrado) server, standalone (not part of a cluster). I'm not the admin, so I can't just change maps.

I'm considering the possibility of doing a crossark transfer to an Extinction server just to find Element Dust whenever the supply runs low. Or possibly just transfer the Enforcer to Extinction and keep it there. But, I've heard crossark transfers don't always work, and people can lose their items, dinos, and even their survivor for no reason.

So, do you think it's worth the effort and risk to do this? Or should I just keep the Enforcer on the island and enjoy it while it lasts?

Transfer to Extinction, get a gacha that makes element dust, transfer it back and feed it stone at your base. Dust for days.

On the topic of transfers - as I recall the only time I've lost anything during a transfer is when I and my friends were pulling creatures out of the obelisk on a new map, and we spawned them in too quickly. When you spawn a creature at the ob, it appears directly above the terminal and drops down, and if you try to spawn multiple creatures at once then the first one blocks the others from appearing as it drops down, so they don't appear in the world. This can easily be avoided by spawning them one at a time, and making sure the first creature is moved off to the side before spawning another so it doesn't block anything.

If you cannot find a dust gacha find just a pair. Some breeding you can eventually get a dust gacha, and a black pearl gacha is usefull as well. Till than keep hunting those presents and stock up on dust.
