Game Updates v191 and v192

Hey guys! The Survival of the Fittest debut tournament event is over! I watched the first hour of it and it was really great!

The Survival of the Fittest game mode will be arriving later on this month, so we'll definitely be looking out for that!

I actually didn't mean to miss the post for the v191 update, especially since it was quite a large update, but since v192 has actually already been released, I thought it'd be great to merge them together into one Game Updates post!

-------------------------

First off, in the v191 patch, Trilobites was added! They not only drop Chitin, but also Oil and Silica Pearls, and can be found in the rivers of the island. It is still unknown if Trilobites will continue to drop Oil and Silica Pearls in the future, since this has generated a debate about whether it has made these rarer resources to easy to obtain.

The highly-requested Metal Sickle is here! Survivors are now able to obtain Fibre less tediously! No more hand-picking!

Another new item was also added, a Polymer Canteen! It stores up to 300 water, meaning it can be used thrice, and is lighter than Water Jars! Speaking of which, Water Jars now carry 200 water, so they can be sipped from twice!

The default cap on the number of tamed dinos has been increase by 1000, and this setting can be adjusted by server admins as well!

The Compound Bow now has five times more durability as before, and the player's camera will shake less when using the bow to better reflect how it is like in reality (not so difficult to pull)!

-------------------------

Next, v192 brought in a change to the newly added Sickle; it now harvests three times as much Fibre as before!

Also, a lot more Dino Damage overlays, which will cause creatures to look bloodier the more damage they take, have been added, so most animals have them now!

-------------------------

The Platform Saddles are still under development! I can imagine the immense amount of work it must take to develop such an amazing feature! The ability to build on moving dinosaurs with any of the available structures, including ballistas, requires a lot of balancing work too! The wait will definitely pay off though, as mobile bases are going to be awesome!

cannot thank the developers enough for all the effort they put in to the game!!! They are really the most dedicated development team ever!!!

Can't wait for the lore as well! I haven't forgotten about that fanfiction!
