What's the north east island like?
Title pretty much says it. Kinda curious how many and what kinds of dinos spawn up there. Are reasources plentiful? Is there any metal ore or do I have to go back to a mountain? Any other tips or suggestions on where else to build?

If you have fly mount, it will be a fun place to go... there are not many buildings, as like the east coastline.... and life abundant...

Gives new meaning to survival on the island, until you are leveled enough to defend yourself passively.

My long-term project is on that island, mainly because I love the location. It's called "Dead Island", and only carnivores spawn (including Alphas). Carnos, raptors, scorpions, sabertooths and argentavises are plentiful and they spawn constantly. There's 2 T-Rex spawns on the northern section of it, but I've seen as many as 4 at a time. Plenty of rocks, trees and bushes. The landscape is pretty nice, with the center having this nice round hill with decently flat plateaus. You also have 3 supply drop spots, high level as well (yellow/red drops are common).

You've got a cave (touted to be the hardest one in the game) which, to my disappointment only has bats, scorpions and spiders. This does mean that a properly tamed saber will net you quite a lot of chitin without having to venture out, and there's loads of scorpions on the island itself as well. The whole "most difficult" thing comes from the fact that the cave's landscape is rough as the way to go down is a spiral narrow ledges around the wall with several jumps where you can and most likely will easily fall down until you get the hang of it. It is swarming with bats, and I mean hundreds of those little buggers packed in there and they will respawn before you can leave. There's metal, obsidian and crystals but it's hardly worth getting them when it's much easier and safer to fly to your closest mountain. You've also got an underwater cave to the northeast of the island, pretty much at the edge of the map.

If you want hervibores there, better get yourself a dino that can manuever in water. You'll need to protect them across the long swim from megalodons. Not that hard anyways, out of the 42 dinos I've got in there, 22 of them are herbivores.

I love that place. Not only was it fun starting up there given everything in there wants to kill you, but the location and landscape are amazing.

5 actually. 1 at each "point" on the island and 1 in the middle.

Right, can't remember anymore because I've built from the center expanding out. Been at it for a month now, should probably leave one of them intact since red ones spawn there. Well now that I think about it, I layed a thatch foundation in the center with a bed from the getgo, that's probably why I never saw it.

We have a little outpost there. perfect for taming carnivores like sabers, scorps, carnos, rex and argentavis. Unverground cave not far away, beautiful island :)

If it's any idea of what it's like, my tribemates and I have nicknamed it the "Isle of Nope." :D

Herbivore island is also really cool (better to defend the whole island and overall better to build a vase there.
