User Interface

2024-09-05T23:42:42Z

Ioana003: Added Missing Info Disclaimer

{{MissingInfo}}

The Skin Customization UI can be found [[Skin Customization|here]].

The Scoreboard UI can be found [[Player List|here]].

The Chatbox UI can be found [[Chatbox|here]].

The HUD UI can be hidden or shown with the use of a [[Keybinding|keybind]]. By default, it is K.

== Current UI ==

[[File:UI1.png|right|thumb|400px|border|The UI of a Carnivore]]

In August, 2017, Beasts of Bermuda underwent a UI revamp. The older legacy UI was replaced with one that was more intuitive to players less familiar with the game. The new UI contains five elements to represent six resources, [[Health]] and [[Comfort]] both being represented on the same UI element.

*[[Health]] is represented by a dinosaur skeleton; the highlighted portion goes down according to how much you have and [[comfort]] is also shown on here.

[[File:Capture.png|x100px|border|]]

*[[Ability]] is represented by an orange circle. It is depleted when using attacks, 'special' abilities, or carrying someone.

[[File:Ability.png|x100px|border|]]

*[[Stamina]] is represented by a yellow 'foot' icon. What percentage of the foot is in yellow indicates the amount of stamina you have; this is not necessarily out of 100, as talents and the unique specifications of each creature determine the maximum stamina. A rule of thumb on many creatures is that if the 'lower third' of the foot is highlighted, you can perform your special ability. This is not always true, but frequently is.

[[File:Stamina.png|x100px|border|]]

*[[Thirst]] is represented by a simple set of water droplets. In the case of [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic]] creatures which use [[Air]] instead of thirst, the icon changes to a set of bubbles.

[[File:Air2.png|x100px|border|]] [[File:Water.png|x100px|border|]]

*[[Food]] is represented by one of three icons currently, based on diet. [[Piscivorous Creatures|Piscivores]] have a fish icon. [[Herbivorous Creatures|Herbivores]] have some leaves. [[Carnivorous Creatures|Carnivores]] show a piece of meat. [[Lurdusaurus]] has a unique kelp icon.

[[File:Ca278a87d35ca69631ba832adac6c295.png|x100px|border|]] [[File:Ribs.png|x100px|border|]] [[File:Plant.png|x100px|border|]] [[File:Seaweed.jpg|x100px|border|]]

*[[Comfort]] is represented by the color of the health icon. It changes color based on comfort, spanning reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues. A deep, almost indigo blue is the best possible; an intense crimson is the worst.

[[File:UI2.png|right|thumb|400px|border|The UI of a Piscovore]]

By pressing 'O', a player can view their character screen. This indicates precise numbers for all player stats, and allows the user to change their skin if they are below 0.8 in growth, or 0.7 if they’ve been nested.

== Legacy UI ==

[[File:UI3.png|right|thumb|400px|border| The UI of an Herbivore]]

[[File:UI4.png|right|thumb|400px|border| The UI of an Aquatic Piscivore]]

Prior to this date, the UI for Beasts of Bermuda consisted of six colored spheres, representing six resources a player must manage in-game. The spheres were the first pass at a HUD for Beasts of Bermuda, and tremendous inspiration from Diablo II's interface was taken in the creation of this interface. Due to near unanimous unpopularity for the UI among the community, the lead developer, Predatoria, begrudgingly accepted defeat and allowed his beloved Diablo II UI to be reworked.

The legacy UI had six elements.

*[[Health]] was represented by a large, red globe on the bottom-left side
*[[Ability]] was represented by a medium-sized, orange globe on the bottom-left side
*[[Stamina]] was represented by a small, yellow globe on the bottom-left side
*[[Thirst]] was represented by a small, blue globe on the bottom-right side
*[[Food]] was represented by a medium-sized, purple globe on the bottom-right side
*[[Comfort]] was represented by a large, green globe on the bottom-right side

== Other UI Elements ==

[[File:Breathbar.png|right|thumb|400px|border|The Breathbar]]

In addition to the display of primary resources, there are some other elements of the Beasts of Bermuda UI as well.

The UI contains a [[Drowning|breath]] meter. This meter only displays when a non-aquatic creature goes underwater. It is straightforwards and simple. It is identical in both the current and the legacy UI.

Players can also change the layout of their HUD by going to Options, and pressing the Move HUD option. This will allow players to move the HUD to any area of the screen if they so choose.

Skin Customization

2024-09-05T23:41:54Z

Ioana003: Missing Info Disclaimer

{{MissingInfo}}

[[File:Skincustomization.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border| A [[Parasaurolophus]] skin made using the random button.]]
Skin Customization is a feature that allows players to create their own customized skins based on existing skin layouts, modifying their looks by altering colors and textures. This system is purely aesthetic and does not affect gameplay in any way.

== Skins and Making Skins ==
[[File:Skincustomization2.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border| A [[Megalosaurus]] skin made by hand.]]
Players get to customize their dinosaur in two different ways:
*As they spawn, the window to customize their skin will automatically show up once they selected the dinosaur to play as.
*Whenever they wish to modify their dinosaur while in-game, they can press "O" by default. However, this option will disappear once the player's creature has reached 0.8 growth (0.7 if they were [[Nesting|nested]]).

Once this window is opened, players can select the skin they wish to wear using the box in front of the option labelled "Skin".
Upon choosing a skin, several categories will appear below this box offering the player a diverse amount of color options.
With this picker the player may:
*Choose the color itself (hue)
*Choose the alpha layer of this color (= more or less present)
*Choose the saturation of this color (from white to specified color)
*Choose its value (from pitch black to full vibrant)

To undo the color of their selected skin, double-click the name of the skin. This should reload the skin back to default colors.
To save the customized skin to be used again for another time, select the "Save Skin" button.

Skins will not disappear when the creature has logged out. It will remain on the creature for as long as it lives.

There is also a button that allows players to make random, naturally appealing skins.

== Types of Skin Customization ==

There are three different types of skins.

*Fully customizable skins - every part of the skin can be edited
*Semi-customizable skins - only certain parts of a skin can be edited
*Non-customizable skins - the skin cannot be edited beyond its default pattern

There are also [[exclusive skins]] for certain players or developers.

== Skins and Nesting ==

Skins can be inherited by offspring through [[Nesting system|nesting]]. Offspring will have a combination of the parents' skins with some random variations.

* Albino - has a chance to happen on just a couple of skin parts and not all of them-
* Melanistic - has a chance to happen on just a couple of skin parts and not all of them
* Wildcard color mutation - can happen at any time on any layer
* Color Mutation - can happen at any time on any layer, drifts the color randomly around the hue ring (cannot exceed 1% of hue drift)
* Bioluminescent Mutation - A random skin layer becomes bioluminescent. This will affect stripes and similar patterns. This mutation has the same chance of happening on any skin. Rare.

List of all of the "fully clamped" skins, meaning skins that cannot obtain Bioluminescent mutations.
Fully Clamped Skins for Bioluminescent:

* Apato - Default
* Elasmo - Default
* Lurdu - Default
* Lurdu - Marsh
* Pachy - Default
* Parasaur - Default
* Pteranodon - Default
* Saichania - Default

Why is (Insert Skin) unable to get Bioluminescent Mutations?
Skins are clamped (aka prevented from mutating) when the layers that are available cover too much of the body or are located on the bottom three layers. Attention and care was taken to try and enable as many skins as possible for the Bio Mutations, however, there were some cases on older dinosaurs where this simply was not possible. After these animals are remodeled they will have more up to date skins and will be given skins which can always have at least 1 Bio Mutation Option.

Nesting

2024-09-05T23:38:17Z

Ioana003: Missing Info Disclaimer has been added since I can't finish this article tonight

{{MissingInfo}}

== What is Nesting? ==

Nesting is a mechanic in Beasts of Bermuda where a pair of users can create offspring. The nesting mechanic has unique benefits for both the parents and the children.

== Mating, Gestation, & Laying the Egg ==

[[File:Ss cef5136138c8bcba18b03255348e64ca028d71f8.1920x1080.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border|An adult [[Megalosaurus]] feeds a horde of babies after a successful hunt.]]

'''Mating''' 
In order to mate, 2 mature (0.8+ [[Life Cycle|growth]]) players of the same species but opposite genders must be close to each other and sent a Request to Mate. Once accepted, the two will lose all of their [[Ability|ability power]] and [[Stamina|stamina]] as well as [[Resting|lie down]]. You can send a Request to Mate by:
* Opening the Players Menu (Tab) and clicking the Request to Mate button over their name bar
* Opening the Vocal Menu (hold down V) and hovering over the Request to Mate option while looking at the mate. 

Players can mate and lay as many eggs as they want including mating with different partners, as long as server's rules allow for it. If the father invests into the [[Talents|Good Parent]] talent, he will be able to provide more eggs at once, up to a maximum of 6 per request. The maximum is not guaranteed as the number of eggs is random. 

[[File:Eggview.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border|A baby [[Apatosaurus]] views its mother from within an egg.]]

'''Gestation''' 
After mating, the female will receive an egg HUD in the top right of her screen ([[User Interface|default UI layout]]) which will show the total amount of eggs gestating and how many have been gestated already. The egg icon will slowly fill up as more eggs finish gestating. 

While gestating, the [[Food|food]] and [[Water|water]] of the mother will drain quicker, and her overall [[Comfort|comfort]] will be lower. By investing into the [[Talents|Good Parent]] talent, these negative effects will be reduced. In order to lay any eggs, the father must create a nest ([[Keybind|default "B"]]) at the cost of [[Ability|ability power]] as long as the ground is even enough. Similarly to eggs, there is no limit to how many nests a male can create, but each nest has a limit of 25 eggs it can hold at once. 

'''Laying Eggs''' 
Eggs are laid by interacting with it ([[Keybind|default "F"]]), and can be laid in multiple batches unless the players' species is [[Archelon|Archelon]], whose nest is covered up once the eggs are placed and will not accept more eggs. Eggs can only be laid inside of nests not used by another female. 

Nests require maintenance and can be repaired by either parent by pressing the interact key while looking at the nest. Nests will visually deplete until they break, at which point all of the eggs are scattered, but can still be incubated and hatched out of as normal. 

If, at any point, either the mother or the eggs are damaged, then the inherits of the child will have a higher likelihood to be negative. 

== Incubation & Hatching ==
For an egg to begin incubation, a player must be inside of it. On the Creature Select Menu, when creating a new creature, players are capable of requesting to become offspring. If a creature has an egg icon next to them, that means they have at least 1 available egg. The parents can choose to allow or dismiss anyone who requests to become offspring. 

[[File:Inheritance.png|right|thumb|400px|border| An example of an inherited talent. ]]

Once a player is inside an egg, it takes 10 minutes by default to be able to hatch, but this time can be reduced by:
* Providing the Incubation buff by sitting or lying over an egg
* Being inside a [[World Events|Great Nesting Site World Event]] 
These can stack ontop of each other. 

While inside the egg, the screen will slowly turn from bright red to a mostly visible window. Players can check their progress by looking at the egg icon on the bottom right or checking their growth inside the Character Menu. Once they reach 1.0, they can press the "Z" key to hatch. Hatchlings begin life at 0.1 growth, and will have a unique [[Skin Customization|nested skin]] which will blend the two parent skins. 

Aquatics that perform live birth (currently only [[Kronosaurus|Kronosaurus]], [[Mosasaurus|Mosasaurus]], and [[Elasmosaurus|Elasmosaurus]]) skip the incubation process and instead birth players. 

== Nesting Perks ==
The above is up-to-date. Below this point are the outdated remains of this article.

There are a handful of perks to nesting; some are more impactive to gameplay, whereas others are more cosmetic. These include...

* Parental growth buff.
* Better inherits.
* Unique skins.
* DO BE WEARY, Incest and Damaged eggs can harm inherits.

===Parental Buffs===

Parents receive the [[Status Effects|Near Children]] buff from their nearby offspring who are below the growth of 0.8, which increases their growth speed.

===Nesting Inherits===

Players who are nested into the world of Beasts of Bermuda receive improved inherits. [[Talents|Inherits]] are set from the moment the egg is laid, based around the talent trees of the parents; with of course some random generation sprinkled on top. The bigger the parents are, the better the chances of good inherits.

While the talents the parents have affect what inherits their children may get, their personal inherits do '''not''' (with the exemption of Good Parent inherits). If a parent has +2 Nimble Footed, their children cannot earn Nimble Footed inherit from their parents, unless extreme random generation dictates so. This is incredibly rare.

Typically, a child has the potential to earn a +1 from each parent. With two +1s in the same talent, the offspring will receive a +2. If a pair has gone 3/3 in the same talent tree, chances of +2s in the given talents are far higher than an egg from parents with 3/3 in separate talent trees.

===Unique Skins===

When nested, players can get unique [[Skin Customization|skins]] mixed from their parent's skins. This can result in any combination of colors and patterns, as it is possible to mix them all! On top of this, there are unique skin mutations that have a rare chance of appearing every now and again.

These mutations are...
* Bioluminescence - a glowing skin layer.
* Pure Albinism - a purely uncustomizable skin, mostly with light colors.
* Partial Albinism - a regular skin with a few, lightly colored uncustomizable layer(s).
* Pure Melanism - a purely uncustomizable skin, mostly with darker colors.
* Partial Melanism - a regular skin with a few, darkly colored uncustomizable layer(s).

===Incest & Damaged Eggs===

If the mother is damaged during gestation, the eggs may receive negative effects. Laid eggs that receive damage do not affect the inherits.

In addition, if a player takes an egg from an [[Incest|incest]] pair, their chances of receiving positive inherits are substantially lower, and they’ll be far more likely to gain negatives instead.

{{MissingInfo}}

==Overview==
World events are randomly occuring events that grant positive boosts to any creatures within its boundaries. They spawn around water sources, and can be sniffed on the [[Scent System|Scent Compass]]. The in-game chat will always announce ahead of time when a World Event occurs and how much time there is remaining.

Smelling allows an animal to located [[carcass|carcasses]], [[Freshwater Lakes|freshwater lakes]], and other dinosaurs.
The system is color coded and each creature has their own color. There are also different colors for various objects,
for instance, meat and water. Water has the color blue and meat has the color red, which turns yellow and green over time when the meat spoils.

The scent is activated by pressing the scent [[Keybind|key]].

There are plans to revamp this system in the near future.

Nesting

Ioana003: /* Mating, Gestation, & Laying the Egg */ Rewrote Mating and Gestation so it's easier to read and has more up to date information.

== What is Nesting? ==

Nesting is a mechanic in Beasts of Bermuda where a pair of users can create offspring. The nesting mechanic has unique benefits for both the parents and the children.

== Mating, Gestation, & Laying the Egg ==

[[File:Ss cef5136138c8bcba18b03255348e64ca028d71f8.1920x1080.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border|An adult [[Megalosaurus]] feeds a horde of babies after a successful hunt.]]

'''Mating''' 
In order to mate, 2 mature (0.8+ [[Life Cycle|growth]]) players of the same species but opposite genders must be close to each other and sent a Request to Mate. Once accepted, the two will lose all of their [[Ability|ability power]] and [[Stamina|stamina]] as well as [[Resting|lie down]]. You can send a Request to Mate by:
* Opening the Players Menu (Tab) and clicking the Request to Mate button over their name bar
* Opening the Vocal Menu (hold down V) and hovering over the Request to Mate option while looking at the mate. 

Players can mate and lay as many eggs as they want including mating with different partners, as long as server's rules allow for it. If the father invests into the [[Talents|Good Parent]] talent, he will be able to provide more eggs at once, up to a maximum of 6 per request. The maximum is not guaranteed as the number of eggs is random. 

[[File:Eggview.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border|A baby [[Apatosaurus]] views its mother from within an egg.]]

'''Gestation''' 
After mating, the female will receive an egg HUD in the top right of her screen ([[User Interface|default UI layout]]) which will show the total amount of eggs gestating and how many have been gestated already. The egg icon will slowly fill up as more eggs finish gestating. 

While gestating, the [[Food|food]] and [[Water|water]] of the mother will drain quicker, and her overall [[Comfort|comfort]] will be lower. By investing into the [[Talents|Good Parent]] talent, these negative effects will be reduced. In order to lay any eggs, the father must create a nest ([[Keybind|default "B"]]) at the cost of [[Ability|ability power]] as long as the ground is even enough. Similarly to eggs, there is no limit to how many nests a male can create, but each nest has a limit of 25 eggs it can hold at once. 

'''Laying Eggs''' 
Eggs are laid by interacting with it ([[Keybind|default "F"]]), and can be laid in multiple batches unless the players' species is [[Archelon|Archelon]], whose nest is covered up once the eggs are placed and will not accept more eggs. Eggs can only be laid inside of nests not used by another female. 

Nests require maintenance and can be repaired by either parent by pressing the interact key while looking at the nest. Nests will visually deplete until they break, at which point all of the eggs are scattered, but can still be incubated and hatched out of as normal. 

If, at any point, either the mother or the eggs are damaged, then the inherits of the child will have a higher likelihood to be negative. 

== Incubation & Hatching ==

For an egg to incubate, a player must be inside of the given egg. Incubation takes 10 minutes ( group members laying on eggs reduce the incubation time by a max of 50% ), regardless of the species ([[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic creatures]] are an exception, as they perform a live birth).

Eggs do not spawn AI dinosaurs. Instead, they spawn players. In order for a player to spawn as an egg, they must choose the egg option in [[Creature Selection UI|creature select]]. Their screen will then show a list of available eggs, and the user must select the type of egg they’d like, and then choose the parents.

Once they select their desired egg, the parents will receive a notification to determine whether or not they want the given player to be their child. If they select yes, the player will then appear inside of the egg, and must wait to hatch. If they select no, the player will receive a notification that their request was denied.

[[File:Inheritance.png|right|thumb|400px|border| An example of an inherited talent. ]]

The egg screen is mostly red, with an empty space in the center where the player can view their surroundings. There’s an egg icon in the bottom right corner of the screen with a yolk in it. As the user grows inside of the egg, the yolk will progressively become smaller. Eggs grow at 0.025 per tick, from 0.0 growth up to 1.0. Once at 1.0 growth as an egg, the yolk will be gone, and the player will be prompted to hatch using the [[Keybinding|ability key]] (default “Z”).

Once a player hatches, a gender will be randomly selected for them, and they will receive a unique mix of their parents’ skins.

== Nesting Perks ==

There are a handful of perks to nesting; some are more impactive to gameplay, whereas others are more cosmetic. These include...

* Parental growth buff.
* Better inherits.
* Unique skins.
* DO BE WEARY, Incest and Damaged eggs can harm inherits.

===Parental Buffs===

Parents receive the [[Status Effects|Near Children]] buff from their nearby offspring who are below the growth of 0.8, which increases their growth speed.

===Nesting Inherits===

Players who are nested into the world of Beasts of Bermuda receive improved inherits. [[Talents|Inherits]] are set from the moment the egg is laid, based around the talent trees of the parents; with of course some random generation sprinkled on top. The bigger the parents are, the better the chances of good inherits.

While the talents the parents have affect what inherits their children may get, their personal inherits do '''not''' (with the exemption of Good Parent inherits). If a parent has +2 Nimble Footed, their children cannot earn Nimble Footed inherit from their parents, unless extreme random generation dictates so. This is incredibly rare.

Typically, a child has the potential to earn a +1 from each parent. With two +1s in the same talent, the offspring will receive a +2. If a pair has gone 3/3 in the same talent tree, chances of +2s in the given talents are far higher than an egg from parents with 3/3 in separate talent trees.

===Unique Skins===

When nested, players can get unique [[Skin Customization|skins]] mixed from their parent's skins. This can result in any combination of colors and patterns, as it is possible to mix them all! On top of this, there are unique skin mutations that have a rare chance of appearing every now and again.

These mutations are...
* Bioluminescence - a glowing skin layer.
* Pure Albinism - a purely uncustomizable skin, mostly with light colors.
* Partial Albinism - a regular skin with a few, lightly colored uncustomizable layer(s).
* Pure Melanism - a purely uncustomizable skin, mostly with darker colors.
* Partial Melanism - a regular skin with a few, darkly colored uncustomizable layer(s).

===Incest & Damaged Eggs===

If the mother is damaged during gestation, the eggs may receive negative effects. Laid eggs that receive damage do not affect the inherits.

In addition, if a player takes an egg from an [[Incest|incest]] pair, their chances of receiving positive inherits are substantially lower, and they’ll be far more likely to gain negatives instead.

Keybinding

2024-09-05T23:14:11Z

Ioana003: Added the Missing Info disclaimer as this article is very outdated

{{MissingInfo}}

In order to change keybinds, a player can visit the options menu and go to controls, which is found either on the [[Main Menu|Main Menu]] or by pressing Escape during regular gameplay.

The reset button will reset the keybinds to default values. These values are fully customizable.

[[File:Keybinds1.png|thumb|The default keybinds and gameplay settings.]]
[[File:OtherKeybinds.jpg|thumb|The rest of the keybinds.]]

*A = Left
*S = Backwards
*D = Right
*W = Forwards
*Spacebar = [[Jumping|Jump]]
*Shift = [[Movement System|Sprint]]
*Ctrl = [[Crouching|Crouch]]
*Tab = [[Survival Points|Scoreboard]]
*K = Toggle [[User Interface|HUD]]
*I = Toggle [[Packing System|Pack]] Tags
*O = Toggle [[User Interface|Character]] Screen
*E = Use Keybind
*Z = [[Special Abilities|Special Ability]]
*R = [[Resting]]
*1 = Roar
*2 = Friendly Call
*3 = Aggressive Call
*4 = Submissive Call
*5 = Distress Call

The use keybind depends on the players preferences, and can be edited in the settings.

The use key allows one to eat and drink. Double tapping the use key allows one to [[Carrying Mechanic|carry]] objects.

There are two keybinds for both [[Crouching|crouch]] and [[Jumping|jump]]. This allows more comfortable options to players who may want to use two of each of these keybinds. It is not necessary to keybind both of these for regular play.

The game does support controller play, and these keybinds work properly with a controller as well as with a keyboard, or even with a mouse with additional buttons.

A player is also able to, if using a controller, adjust the x and y axis sensitivities or invert the Y axis if they wish to do so.

New Player Guide

2024-09-05T19:10:34Z

Ioana003: /* Controls */ Added Placing Down Nest button

==Welcome==
Welcome to Beasts of Bermuda - a dinosaur survival game focused on infinite growth and fighting against the weather and other players. This guide will give you the basics necessary for Survival in the game. This does not, however, gurantee it! Beasts of Bermuda can be a difficult game starting out, and you may not be able to grow even past 1.0. But don't worry, as you keep playing and you grow accustomed, it'll become a breeze!
 

==Controls==
The first thing you have to learn are your controls. By default you have:
* W A S D for movement
* Space to Jump
* C for Sniffing
* F for Interacting (such as eating, drinking, laying down eggs etc.)
* Double tap F for picking up items and other players
* Ctrl for Crouching, changing Stance, Diving, or Swimming Down (where applicable)
* Hold Shift to Run
* Alt to raise your head
* Q and E for strafing while swimming
* R to sit down (and R again to Lay Down/Sleep)
* B for placing down a Nest (males only)
* LMB for Primary Attack
* Hold LMB for Alt. Attack
* RMB for Secondary Attack
* Z for Ability 1
* X for Ability 2
* G for Ability 3
* Number 1 to 5 for using Calls
* Number 6 for Auto-Walk/Run
* Tab to view the Player List
* Enter to access the chat
* Hold V to view the Player Interactions Menu
* O to open the Character Menu
 
Although this may seem like a lot to remember, don't worry! Focus first on learning movement and eating/drinking. Once you're more confident, you can start learning more about combat, how abilities interact with each other, creature-specific strategies at survival and so on. 

==Getting Food and Water==
The easiest way to find food and water is by sniffing. If you hold down the Sniff button (C by default), food will be highlighted to you and water will appear on the compass at the top of the screen. 

'''Food''' 
Meat won't always have an icon, but can be found by looking for large, red clouds of smoke. However, not all meat is good! If a cloud of smoke is more yellow than red, it may have gone rotten and will make you sick. When sniffing on a carcass, a blurb at the bottom of the screen will appear detailing how rotten meat is. 

Add example photos here of the meat becoming more rotten. 

Plants and fish will be highlighted with a blue or red colour respectively. Only plants that can be eaten will be highlighted blue! As you grow larger, more and more plants will become edible. 

Add images showing the plants and fish colours. 

Additionally to plants and meat, all creatures in Beasts of Bermuda have a diet. If the diet is ignored, your creature may go sick. If it's always fulfilled, your creature will survive much easier! Salt (which is required for most herbivorous diets) can be found near beaches or on large salt rocks and will also glow blue when sniffed. 

Show off 3 different diets (herbi/Para, omni/Coah, carni/Rex?) 

'''Water''' 
Water can also be sniffed out by most creatures. By default, you will see water droplet icons on the compass at the top of the screen, showing you the nearest water sources in all directions. You may also see a tall pillar while sniffinf pointing at the water so it's easier to find from afar. 

Show water at the top of the compass and the pillar. 

Just like meat, water can also go bad by becoming dirty. Some sources are always dirty, while others start off clean. The more creatures that drink from one water source, the dirtier it becomes. Dirty water increases the water meter and satiation much slower than clean water, and maybe make creatures go sick. You can sniff a water source to find out whether it's clean or dirty before drinking it. 

Show pictures of clean and dirty water. 

Unlike meat, water sources can become boring. This has the same effect as dirty water, but is instead dependant on how often a creature drinks from the same source: drinking from the same lake 5 times in a row will make it more boring than drinking from 5 different lakes. 

Show what the boring and exciting water message looks like. 

The best way to get food and water without going sick is to always be on the move. This can avoid boring water or sitting and eating out of rotten gores because you couldn't find a fresh one in time. 

'''Satiation''' 
Satiation is the amount of extra, high quality food or water you received. By eating larger plants (or Fat Plants), Player Gores, Fish (if Piscivorous), and drinking from clean, exciting water, you can gain up to 50 extra points of food and water as satiation. You can check how much you have by going into the Character Menu or by looking at your food and water bars: if they have a cyan outline, then they have full stiation. 

Show off multiple bars at different sat levels, e.g. water at full and empty, omnivore at half, carnivore at mostly empty etc. Make sure to show water at full and empty minimum, since it can be hard to figure out at first. 

It's also possible to become overweight by eating too much food. Overweight creatures will move slower, generate less comfort, and regenerate stamina slower, but are heavier, have more health, and regenerate health much quicker. Not every creature benefits from being overweight, but if you expect to be fighting something large as another large animal, it might not be a bad idea to become overweight depending on the situation. 

Show the Well Fed Neutral Buff. 

==Growing Faster==
Beast of Bermuda's main goal is growth! Growing larger, and larger, so you can eventually become the king of the island. But by default, growth is pretty slow, especially if you play a larger animal like Apatosaurus. So, how do you speed it up? 

'''Gauntlet''' 
On the LifeCycle Gamemode (the default gamemode), after reaching 1.32 growth, your growth will pause. By going into the Character Menu (by hitting the O button), you can unpause growth and begin the Gauntlet. This will increase your growth to be significantly faster at the cost of an ever increasing food and water drain. 

This option is not available on FreeRoam servers, where growth slows down significantly after 1.2 growth is reached instead, but growth is also never stopped. 

'''Blessings''' 
There are 3 Deities in Beasts of Bermuda:
* The Power Deity, who focuses on combat
* The Mobility Deity, who focuses on exploration
* The Survival Deity, who focuses on survival 

Each Deity has its own associated tasks in the Trials menu (found by going into the Character Menu), but those are unnecessary right now. What you're looking for are their shrines. On every map, there are a minimum of 6 Grand Shrines (2 of each deity, 3 of which are found on land and 3 underwater). There are also a various number of Mini Shrines. The only difference is that you can Sacrifice yourself at the Grand Shrines only. 

Show photos of the 6 types of shrines (all deities, mini and grand) 

By going up to any of the shrines, you're able to interact with them. This brings up the Shrine Menu: 
Photo of the Menu 

By clicking on Trinket, you're able to pick up a small object from that specific deity. If you bring it to another shrine, you can interact with it again (make sure you're still holding the trinket!) and choose the Blessing option to become blessed by that deity who you're giving the trinket to. 

Picture of the blessing menu 

To grow faster, you need the Speed Blessing. To get it, simply walk up to a Power or Survival Shrine, get their trinket, then go to a Mobility shrine. The Speed Blessing gives extra growth at the cost of an increase in food and water. 

'''Weather''' 
By being in very harsh weather (typically during a storm), your creature will get a growth buff. It will only last until the storm ends, but can be stacked ontop of other buffs. You know you have the buff when this icon appears on the top left: 

Show the growth storm buff icon here. 

'''Nesting''' 
Nesting provides many benefits, for both the parents and the children. One of those benefits is the growth buff given when you have offspring nearby. These must be your own babies, not someone else's, and must be smaller than 0.7 growth to give you this buff. Just like all the others, this can stack with other growth buffs. 

You know you're being affected by the Baby Buff when this icon appear: 
Show Baby Buff Icon. 

'''Growing... Slower?''' 
That's right! Sometimes, your growth may slow down or stop entirely. There are many reasons for this, which include: 
* Restless Debuff - if you have been sitting in a cave for too long without leaving it, your growth rate is decreased
* Low Food or Water - the lower your food or water, the less growth you get
* Pausing Growth - in LifeCycle, it is possible to pause growth; it will always pause at 1.32 before the Gauntlet begins
* Growing Larger - the larger a creature gets, the slower it will grow 

==Avoiding Death==
Death sucks, right? And maybe you've been able to play the game for an hour or two, had some fun, got to a good enough size, but then you died to someone bigger. Or someone way smaller. Or maybe even someone you thought was your friend! There are many ways for yout Health Bar to deplete, and even some status effects that will have a direct effect on it, such as bleed. To help you on your journey, here are some of the more common ways to die, and how to avoid them! 

Show off the health bar at full, low health, bleed, venom. 

'''Weather and Shelter''' 
If the weather begins to act up, it may be a good idea to find a shelter. Be it caves, trees, or even the giant Apatosaurus and its spikier cousing, Brontosaurus, shelter can be found in many ways. Try to look for opening and caves, sniff around for bright, pink plants, or stick to the trees and forests and hope it's enough. 

But how do you know it's enough? By going into the Character Menu, you can see a Shelter stat. This is a percentage, meaning it can only go up to 100. And 100 is where you want to be! In order to avoid lightning or tornadoes, you want to be at maximum shelter. Not everything gives 100% shelter, but if it's just a light rain, then hiding in a log might just be enough to get you by. You can also see the Shelter percentage by carefully looking at your health: if it has a blue-cyan circle, then that's full shelter! If the circle is only half filled, then that's only roughly 50% shelter. 

Show off Shelter at 0, 50, and 100% 

Smaller creatures (like Velociraptor or Pteranodon), are more prone to being scared by weather events, which decreases their Comfort stat. If your Comfort drops too low, you start slowly dying from stress! There are talents to mitigate this, like Weather Resistance or Resilience, but someetimes all you need is another friend in the same group to be close to you and your comfort will shoot way up. 

'''Comfort''' 
Your comfort is signified by the Comfort stat in the Character Menu or the colour of your Health Bar. The more yellow-red it is, the lower the comfort. Conversely, if it's a pale blue, then your comfort is really high. You can also see the comfort of other players in your group by the colour of their health bars above their heads (when applicable). If your comfort falls too low (be it from other creatures, weather, eating unhealthy food etc.), then you begin to take damage. 

Show off Comfort levels and colours, as well as how it look on other players. 

In order to maintain high comfort, you would need to avoid eating poisonous foods or dirty water, stick to your diet, and have positive bias. Bias affects everything about your comfort, and can go into the negatives if you're not careful. To increase your bias, you should eat yellow flowers or pink and blue crystals that you find around the map. Alternatively, some talents can increase your base comfort stat. 

Show the flowers and crystals. 

'''Sickness''' 
If you drink polluted water, eat a rotten gore, or are even affected by the dreaded "None!", you may eventually become sickly. Sickness decreases your stamina and AP regeneration, as well as increase food and water drain and making you louder while sniffing. Not only that, but other players can sniff you and see that you are sick, making you a prime target to be killed! 

Although sickness won't lead to death directly, it may lead to starvation or being killed by other players, so it's best to avoid it. Keeping your Diet rating high, avoiding rotten/poisonous foods or dirty water, and eating food that your creature is supposed to eat will make sickness nearly impossible to get. 

But if you do get it, don't fret! Look around for charcoal, keep your food and thirst high, and search for yellow and red flowers. They give extra bonuses that, while won't directly impact your illness, will make surviving through one (or in general) much easier! 

'''Other Players''' 
Here it is, the section you were probably waiting for! How do you deal with other players that want to kill you? Well, sometimes you can just... not deal with them! Playing as a fast creature means you can outrun them and eventually get away. You can use water to your advantage, especially if you have the talent Aqua Affinity, or try to run down hills and jump up structures to avoid death. If you're a semi-aquatic or a flier, you can swim away or take to the skies! The easiest way to avoid dying to players is to avoid players entirely. 

If you're ever low on Health, you can also eat the pink flowers around the map, which will heal you a set amount. Alternatively, using the Healing talent and lying down to sleep will also heal you and your injuries really quickly. 

Show off the flowers. 

But that's the boring answer. And while there's a lot of cool strategies you can employ, maybe you want to play as one of the larger herbivores or carnivores and can't avoid fights. Or maybe you want to instigate them yourself. After all, a dead player is one less player that might kill you. So here's some Combat Basics! 
1. Use terrain to your advantage. By having the high ground or protecting your back from other players, you limit their options to try and attack you. 
2. Sit and Lay Down to heal. Sitting or Laying Down will heal your health, stamina, and AP much faster. Similarly, if you are inflicted with a status effect like Bleed or Injury, you can heal it off quicker by lying down to sleep. 
3. Try not to run out of Stamina or Action Points. Running out of either stamina OR AP will lead to you being unable to attack anymore. This means your attacker is free to do as they please without any risk of dying. Try to back away or keep the opponent away to regain stamina and AP. 
4. Use your abilities. Each playable creature has a number of special abilities or attacks they can use: Paleophis and Oryctodromeus can blind opponents, Wiehenvenator can use its Tenton Break bite, Parasaurolophus can stomp and deal massive damage and injury. Learning what your creature's abilities do and using them is crucial. 

Regardless of your preffered option to deal with players, you will still need to use either your Stamina (the yellow footprint icon) or your Action Points (the circle behind stamina). These are 2 essentialy stats that should never be fully depleted or else you become defenceless. Almost every ability, from biting, to darting, or even shedding requires AP, and many attacks as well as springing and jumping use up Stamina. Sniffing also uses up a lot of AP, meaning that if you sniff for too long, you may not be able to fight back! There are talents that increase your AP and Stamina, or decrease how much it's used, but there are no special items that heal stamina or AP like healing flowers heal your health. The best way to regenerate them is to lie down and sleep. 

Show the Stamina and AP symbols. 

Although these tips are, admittedly, very basic, the nuance comes more from that last one: the more you learn about your own abilities and talents, as well as those of other creatures, the better you'll get at avoiding death! Sniffing opponents to figure out their build (be it through the blurb or through the colour they are highlighted as) is very useful. Feel free to look through the Group Finder or ask on the Discord Server for groups to help you along and make the journey much more bearable! 

==Going beyond Death==
Death is not the end. Like the deities say on that frightful, red screen, you can come back stronger. 

'''Inherits''' 
During your creature's life, you may have gotten extra stat points in the form of inherits. Inherits can only go up to a +2 in a talent, and may similarly be negative as well. On a freshly spawned creature, you will get on average fewer or worse inherits. 

Regardless of how you got your creature, you will always get inherits at the exact same growth: 
* 0.45
* 0.6
* 0.8
* 1.0
* 1.2 

Show off the inherit message popup. 

Spawn creatures (aka a dinosaur you spawned in with without nesting or reincarnating) have the unique property of never getting negative inherits, as well as a unique system for allocating inherit points: if you get a lot of inherits early on in life, you'll get fewer later on in life and vice versa. There is, however, a limit of how many inherits you have on spawn creatures, meaning that if you get all of them too early, you may end up with particularly bad inherits. 

So, how do you get better ones? 

'''Nesting''' 
While this mechanic was touched on earlier from the perspective of the parents, nesting is far more beneficial to the children. Not only do you have a chance to get a mutation, but your parents' builds directly influence the inherits you can get. This means that, if the two matched their builds to have the exact same talents, then you, the offpsring, are far more likely to get +1 or +2 inherits in those talents specifically. Being nested in is a great way to get a head start at survival, as well as getting inherits in mostly functional builds, making you much stronger as a result. 

In order to avoid negative inherits, however, the parents must make sure the eggs haven't been harmed both during gestation and incubation. Inbreeding (breeding with your direct relatives) also leads to negative inherits. Having the talent Good Parent, nesting at a Great Nesting Site, or having the Survival Blessing active can all increase the chances of better eggs or even of rare mutations. 

Once you have joined a nest, you will begin life as an egg. After some time (which varies based on active buffs and whether or not you're incubated), you can hatch and begin a brand new life. 

'''Reincarnation''' 
Reincarnation is another option at your disposal for getting mutations or better inherits. The game will essentially use your talents and stats twice, as if you "nested with yourself", to give you a brand new creatures. Although your inherits will still be linked to whatever talents you unlocked, they're also directly linked with your Trial Score. 

In order to get better inherits, you must complete trials during that life. You can check your progress in the Trials menu via the Character Menu, or by pressing the Arrow next to any creature on Creature Select. Trial scores above 90% give the best results. In order to avoid any negative inherits, make sure your trials are above 85%. 

If you plan on grinding reincarnations for better inherits and stats, it's easiest to grind only 2 of the trial types (e.g. Mobility Trials and Survival Trials), and then going to a Grand Shrine to Sacrifice (which matches that Deity's trial score to your highest trial score) or Pledging at any shrine (which matches your score to the second highest instead). Sacrificing will immediately kill your creature, whereas Pledging won't, but you must still die in order for its effects to help you. 

When Reincarnating, all of your trials are reset, meaning you have to start all over again. If you are having trouble keeping trials high in a single run (or want a slow-paced reincarnation cycle), you may additionally Ressurect. 

'''Ressurection''' 
If you don't want to reincarnate, you may also ressurect a creature. This will give you the exact same skin and inherits, and will put you at a higher growth than reincarnation, but it requires sacrifices. Similarly to reincarnation, the higher the trial scores of the sacrificed creature(s), the easier it will be to reach the score requirement. 

You may also ressurect for free, which will instead put you at a much lower growth than if you were to sacrifice creatures. 

The main pros of ressurection is that you keep everything from that creature, down to the talents you already added (though you will need to deselect talents for them to work), and including your trials. Ressurecting a creature that has poor trials, or simply continuing to trial farm on the same creature ressurected over and over is a good way to maintain high trial scores without having to constantly be grinding them, which becomes much more difficult the more you grow. Once you reincarnate, all of your trials are reset. 

==Suggested Playables==
Welcome to the end of this New Player Guide! I have written down everything I believe a new player should know, while also hopefully not making it so long it's a slog to read through. So, as a reward, here's some creatures I think a new player should try out! Or maybe you skipped the entire guide and just wanted to see what is reccommended. 

'''Pteranodon/Tropeognathus''' 
Currently, the only fliers in the game, although more are planned. By simply being able to fly, they have some of the highest survivability in this game, capable of picking their fights and almost always being able to get away if things get dire. They are great if you want to fly around and explore the map, as well as try out some aerial combat. The only downsides to these guys are the fact that Tropegnathus is capable of dealing a lot of injury damage, which will ground birds, as well as their piscivore diet means you're put in danger from aquatics a lot more often. 

If you do decide to play a pterosaur, however, I suggest flying up really high without going into thin atmosphere so you can see anyone from far away and using your speed to either get away or get the jump on someone. 

'''Oryctodromeus/Velociraptor''' 
Another 2 rather similar animals, these two are the smallest playables available (with the exclusion of AIs). This makes them really easy to hide and get away with, essentially being the more grounded variants of the birds. Oryctodromeus gets a bonus in being able to make its own home in a very complext and fun burrowing system, whereas Velociraptor is more for those players who want to play carnivores rather than herbivores. Because of their speed and access to good getaway tools, they're great for beginners who want to learn more about blessings, buffs, diets, and generally like a more relaxed gameplay loop. 

Of course, that's not to say these guys can never be used offensively! Plenty of people love being anklebiters after all... I'm sure there's some guide out there on how to be the best Destroyer of Legs. 

'''Parasaurolophus/Megaraptor'''
For those who like larger creatures, Parasaurolophus and Megaraptor are perfect! Both are deceptively fast, meaning you can always get away from threats, while also packing a good punch to kill a lot of creatures around their weight range (or even above!). Wiehenvenator is a decent Megaraptor alternative, but the latter's Z ability makes it just much more flexible and therefore beginner-friendly. They are also very popular picks, meaning you might just be able to find a group friendly enough to let you in and play together! 

'''Aquatics...''' 
Although I'd love to be able to give some good beginner aquatics, because of how restricting they can be, no matter which one you pick, you'll probably have a more difficult time than the land-based creatures above. Regardless, you still have some options! Lurdusaurus and Ichthyovenator are both semi-aquatics, meaning you can live both on land and in water to a decent degree of success. Paleophis has a whole 3 different forms you can choose from, making it one of the most flexible aquatic (and land!) playables in the game. For strict aquatics, you have Archelon, an omnivore that eats fish and coral, which, although not the easiest to survive as, allows you to survive far easier than the rest of the strict carnivore aquatic roster. 

'''Closing Remarks''' 
Well, that's everything! Now go out there and try out some of the creatures. Don't be dissuaded if they weren't recommended, nor if you die a lot at first - that's to be expected! Go make some friends, find some secrets, and most of all have fun playing the game.

Beasts of Bermuda is a survival game in which you play as a prehistoric creature native to the mysterious islands of Bermuda: a tropical ecosystem absent from human contact and full of prehistoric life. With its propensity to storms and shifting tides, wildfires and even tornados, the Bermuda is an ever-changing ecosystem.
Choose from several creatures, including terrestrials, flyers, aquatics or semi-aquatics, and battle your way through the severity of [[Food|hunger]], [[Thirst|thirst]], [[Comfort|stress]], and predation, all of which are aspects that pose as constant threats to your survival. Play as whichever creature suits you the best, be it an herbivore, a carnivore, a piscivor or even an omnivore and learn to thrive on the islands of Bermuda.

'''The game is currently under development and was first released on December 21st, 2018 as a primarily multiplayer experience. Check out its Steam page [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ here!]'''

<center>'''What does Beasts of Bermuda have to offer?'''</center> 

Beasts of Bermuda offers the experience of playing in unique niches as an (semi-)aquatic, flying, or terrestrial creature. Certain creatures specialize in unique gameplay. For instance, [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semiaquatics]] offer a lifestyle that is different from traditional carnivores and marines, as they are both adept at [[Swimming|swimming]] and running.

The game also has unique map elements. Whether you're seeking a cave to shelter from a [[Weather|storm]], waiting for the [[Tidal System|tide]] to drop to walk safely to a new island, or migrating to avoid a [[Weather|forest fire]] or a depleted [[Freshwater Lakes|water source]], the map is always changing around you and feeling alive.

The playable creatures in Beasts of Bermuda all have their own unique [[Abilities|abilities]]. Some can [[Grabbing|grab]] their prey, others can [[Pouncing|pounce]] large distances, and some can even climb up walls. Every animal is different in Beasts of Bermuda, and a lot of effort has been put into making the [[mechanics]] unique and enjoyable.

[[Comfort|Comfort]] is a unique mechanic that determines how healthy your creature is. At its highest peak, a creature can grow well, but at its lowest, a creature becomes [[Comfort|stressed]] and can die. [[Comfort|Stress]] can be caused by (but is not limited to) over-eating, staying near ungrouped creatures, and exposure to harsh storms.

Beasts of Bermuda give players free reign over how they look. [[Skin Customization|Skins]] are completely customizable, allowing the user a free range of color choices, whether it be for camouflage or dazzle. Additionally, the [[Talent tree|talents]] mechanic allows players to choose their creature's specialties and spend points in different kinds of playstyles, such as extra health or speed.

[[Nesting system|Breeding]] is also an available mechanic; offspring will receive a mixture of their parents' corresponding skins and colors, as well as occasionally sporting mutations of the leucistic, melanistic, and wildcard varieties. Offspring will receive inherits based on their parents' talent trees.

Many different challenges are always present in Beasts of Bermuda. One must find [[Food|food]] and quench their [[Thirst|thirst]] in the ever-changing environment. Different animals have different means of obtaining food. Some are [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivores]] who need to hunt and eat their fellow players to survive. Others are [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivores]], and thus have more peaceful means of eating. [[Piscivorous Creatures|Piscivores]] are capable of eating both other players and [[Fish|fish]]. Along with the necessities of day-to-day survival, mother nature is always at your heels with its unpredictable [[Weather|weather]] that keeps the game interesting to play.

'''Current Gamemodes'''

* [[Life Cycle|Life-cycle]] - The first is our Life Cycle mode of gameplay. The player selects a creature of choice and spawns into the world as a juvenile of that species. They must survive and gradually grow larger over time. As growth accumulates, they also earn talents, which can be spent to enhance different aspects of your creature's capabilities. At the growth of 1.320, the player must choose between remaining at this growth or entering The Gauntlet. [[Trials|Trial System]].

* [[Combat gamemode|Combat]] - This game mode involves constant battling. Players will spawn as adult creatures and can kill other players to gain ever-increasing points. When you die, a percentage of your points are transferred to your killer. Train here to improve your chances of survival or just have fun!

* [[Freeroam|Free Roam]] - Free roam is a gamemode that represents majority of the old game in regards to growth speeds and when talent points are gained. It's what existed before Titania and Gauntlet's gamemode. This mode is similar to Life Cycle, however there is no Gauntlet. Growth becomes slowed after becoming Elder (1.200)

'''Regardless of the selected mode of play, settings may differ from server to server based on the owner's preferences.'''

<center>'''Where is Beasts of Bermuda in its development?'''</center> 

Beasts of Bermuda began development on January 16th, 2017. Currently, the game offers a fully functional game world with many combat mechanics and map-based survival elements already in place. Make no mistake, our game is still pre-release and very much under development. Future development will likely focus on expanding the playable creature roster, improving the quality of the graphics, models, general assets, and then implementing additional game modes.

The game was released on Dec 21st, 2018 on the game's [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ steam page]. Within their steam page are the game's patch notes where you can read in detail what new mechanics have been implemented. However, the best way to keep up with development is to join the official Beasts of Bermuda discord (https://discord.gg/jYaRG5X), where you can ask the developers in the appropriate channels about the current build of the game.

Beasts of Bermuda is a survival game in which you play as a prehistoric creature native to the mysterious islands of Bermuda: a tropical ecosystem absent from human contact and full of prehistoric life. With its propensity to storms and shifting tides, wildfires and even tornados, the Bermuda is an ever-changing ecosystem.
Choose from several creatures, including terrestrials, flyers, aquatics or semi-aquatics, and battle your way through the severity of [[Food|hunger]], [[Thirst|thirst]], [[Comfort|stress]], and predation, all of which are aspects that pose as constant threats to your survival. Play as whichever creature suits you the best, be it an herbivore, a carnivore, a piscivor or even an omnivore and learn to thrive on the islands of Bermuda.

'''The game is currently under development and was first released on December 21st, 2018 as a primarily multiplayer experience. Check out its Steam page [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ here!]'''

<center>'''What does Beasts of Bermuda have to offer?'''</center> 

Beasts of Bermuda offers the experience of playing in unique niches as an (semi-)aquatic, flying, or terrestrial creature. Certain creatures specialize in unique gameplay. For instance, [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semiaquatics]] offer a lifestyle that is different from traditional carnivores and marines, as they are both adept at [[Swimming|swimming]] and running.

The game also has unique map elements. Whether you're seeking a cave to shelter from a [[Weather|storm]], waiting for the [[Tidal System|tide]] to drop to walk safely to a new island, or migrating to avoid a [[Weather|forest fire]] or a depleted [[Freshwater Lakes|water source]], the map is always changing around you and feeling alive.

The playable creatures in Beasts of Bermuda all have their own unique [[Abilities|abilities]]. Some can [[Grabbing|grab]] their prey, others can [[Pouncing|pounce]] large distances, and some can even climb up walls. Every animal is different in Beasts of Bermuda, and a lot of effort has been put into making the [[mechanics]] unique and enjoyable.

[[Comfort|Comfort]] is a unique mechanic that determines how healthy your creature is. At its highest peak, a creature can grow well, but at its lowest, a creature becomes [[Comfort|stressed]] and can die. [[Comfort|Stress]] can be caused by (but is not limited to) over-eating, staying near ungrouped creatures, and exposure to harsh storms.

Beasts of Bermuda give players free reign over how they look. [[Skin Customization|Skins]] are completely customizable, allowing the user a free range of color choices, whether it be for camouflage or dazzle. Additionally, the [[Talent tree|talents]] mechanic allows players to choose their creature's specialties and spend points in different kinds of playstyles, such as extra health or speed.

[[Nesting system|Breeding]] is also an available mechanic; offspring will receive a mixture of their parents' corresponding skins and colors, as well as occasionally sporting mutations of the leucistic, melanistic, and wildcard varieties. Offspring will receive inherits based on their parents' talent trees.

Many different challenges are always present in Beasts of Bermuda. One must find [[Food|food]] and quench their [[Thirst|thirst]] in the ever-changing environment. Different animals have different means of obtaining food. Some are [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivores]] who need to hunt and eat their fellow players to survive. Others are [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivores]], and thus have more peaceful means of eating. [[Piscivorous Creatures|Piscivores]] are capable of eating both other players and [[Fish|fish]]. Along with the necessities of day-to-day survival, mother nature is always at your heels with its unpredictable [[Weather|weather]] that keeps the game interesting to play.

'''Current Gamemodes'''

* [[Life Cycle|Life-cycle]] - The first is our Life Cycle mode of gameplay. The player selects a creature of choice and spawns into the world as a juvenile of that species. They must survive and gradually grow larger over time. As growth accumulates, they also earn talents, which can be spent to enhance different aspects of your creature's capabilities. At the growth of 1.320, the player must choose between remaining at this growth or entering The Gauntlet. [[Trials|Trial System]].

* [[Combat gamemode|Combat]] - This game mode involves constant battling. Players will spawn as adult creatures and can kill other players to gain ever-increasing points. When you die, a percentage of your points are transferred to your killer. Train here to improve your chances of survival or just have fun!

* [[Freeroam|Free Roam]] - Free roam is a gamemode that represents majority of the old game in regards to growth speeds and when talent points are gained. It's what existed before Titania and Gauntlet's gamemode. This mode is similar to Life Cycle, however there is no Gauntlet. Growth becomes slowed after becoming Elder (1.200)

'''Regardless of the selected mode of play, settings may differ from server to server based on the owner's preferences.'''

<center>'''Where is Beasts of Bermuda in its development?'''</center> 

Beasts of Bermuda began development on January 16th, 2017. Currently, the game offers a fully functional game world with many combat mechanics and map-based survival elements already in place. Make no mistake, our game is still pre-release and very much under development. Future development will likely focus on expanding the playable creature roster, improving the quality of the graphics, models, general assets, and then implementing additional game modes.

The game was released on Dec 21st, 2018 on the game's [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ steam page]. Within their steam page are the game's patch notes where you can read in detail what new mechanics have been implemented. However, the best way to keep up with development is to join the official Beasts of Bermuda discord (https://discord.gg/jYaRG5X), where you can ask the developers in the appropriate channels about the current build of the game.

[[File:Orycto_Family.png|thumb|400px|border|''A family of Oryctodromeus inside their burrow. (Screenshot by Ember-Newcomer, with permission.)'']]

[[File:Oryctocolony.png|right|thumb|400px|border|''An Oryctodromeus colony, featuring the previous model.'']]

== Overview ==
The Oryctodromeus is a playable [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivore]] in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as one of the smallest playable creatures. It is an agile but frail creature that can [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] to create expansive and elaborate tunnel networks. A group of Oryctodromeus are capable of creating gargantuan caverns in a short amount of time.

Being at the bottom of the food chain, it often dies to larger creatures in one or two hits. But with access to some of the best terrestrial agility in the game (up next to [[Pachycephalosaurus]] and [[Velociraptor]]) and a blinding sand attack, it can be surprisingly difficult to catch.

== Abilities ==
* '''Peck'''
** Default: LMB (Left Mouse Button)
** A high DPS peck attack that deals a small amount of damage.

* '''Sand Attack'''
** Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
** An attack that kicks sand up into your opponent’s eyes to blind them, disable their jump, and slow their sprint speed by 40% for the duration of the effect. This also disables [[flight]] for [[Flying Creatures|pterosaurs]].
** This attack has a diminishing return, lasting 50% its normal duration on the second Sand Attack, and 25% its normal duration on the third. After three Sand Attacks in a row, the target is immune to the effect for 18 seconds.

* '''Burrowing'''
** Default: Z
** Allows you to create a [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] entrance. Burrow entrances cannot be created too close to [[Ocean|sea level]], too close to a [[Freshwater_Lakes|water source]], or in rocks/[[caves]]. You can dig out tunnel nodes by right clicking, and replace dirt by left clicking. By default, 1x1 burrows can only fit juvenile creatures, other Oryctodromeus, and adult [[Velociraptor|Velociraptors]]. However, you can expand your burrows to fit larger adult creatures.
** While [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrowing]], you may dig up various edible items and decorations. You can even farm edible items, if you wish.
** Your tunnels can be connected with other Oryctos' entrances and tunnels, allowing for some extremely advanced [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] structures.
** [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|Burrows]] are entirely [[weather]]-proof, save for floods. If the water rises to meet your tunnels, you will be safely teleported to your most recently used burrow exit.
** Active [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] entrances can be [[Scent_System|scented]] and identified by their small plumes of purple smoke. An active burrow is one that's been used within the last 8 minutes.
** [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|Burrows]] will completely despawn after 72 hours of inactivity. To reset this timer, any Orycto must dig out a tunnel node inside the burrow.
** If your tunnels are completely blocked off from any [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] entrances, you will receive a massive [[Status Effects|comfort debuff]] (Stale Air) from the lack of oxygen circulation.

== Survival Tips ==
* Oryctodromeus must leave their [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrows]] for water and food. Investing in making farms is a good idea which can include cucumber farms, salt farms and potato farms. These will allow the Oryctodromeus to stay in their burrow for longer periods of time. Cucumbers provide water saturation, Salt helps balance your diet and potatoes provide food.
* A single Oryctodromeus can create 2 [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] entrances by default. Hide one of your burrow entrances under the cover of foliage and save it for emergencies.
* Oryctodromeus is somewhat slow, but it also has some of the best agility. Use this to your advantage by outmaneuvering your opponents. If you're being chased, don't run away in a straight line.
* Oryctodromeus is significantly stronger inside of its [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrows]]. Creatures that are not Orycto will have their damage cut down by 50% while underground. They will also suffer a large [[comfort]] debuff from Claustrophobia.
* Creating your [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrows]] on high ground may prevent [[Weather|storms]] from flooding you out.
* Oryctodromeus has the combat [[Talents|talent]] [[Talents#Sharp_Teeth|“Sharp Teeth”]], making it a possible threat to large creatures.
* Never try to cross an ocean. You ''will'' die, if not to an aquatic, then some random Pteranodon.

== Trivia ==
* Oryctodromeus is a donor creature, and is one of the longest awaited confirmed creatures.
* Oryctodromeus was originally considered for having a feathered and scaly customization option, but this idea was later scrapped in favor of a scaly model with quills.
* One of the lead developers (Predatoria) has confirmed that [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrowing]] is ''the'' most complex [[Mechanics|mechanic]] in the entire game, along with being the most difficult codework he's ever done. Burrowing and Oryctodromeus were finally completed and released after nearly two years of work on August 10th, 2020.
* Much like [[Apatosaurus]], [[Saichania]], and [[Velociraptor]], Orycto is completely immune to [[injury]] damage.
* Oryctodromeus's model was created by developer Cαllie.
* Orycto has had a total of '''1''' model update. (From the old model by Manuelsaurus to Cαllie's current model.)

| growth rate = 2 hrs (50% [[comfort]], [[food]], [[water]], [[food|food satiation]] and [[water|water satiation]])
| weather resistance = 1.0 (lower is better)
}}

=== Overview ===

The Wiehenvenator is a playable [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivorous]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is the second fastest terrestrial predator, the fastest being [[Megaraptor]]. Both of these creatures can chase their prey for long distances thanks to their incredible [[Movement Mechanics|speed]]. Such prey include the [[Parasaurolophus]], [[Velociraptor]] and [[Ichthyovenator]], as well as most juvenile creatures.

The Wiehenvenator can detect the amount of health a nearby creature has. This lets the Wiehenvenator properly decide whether combat should be initiated or not, as the health of a creature can determine if a fight will be easy or rough. Additionally, the Wiehenvenatorr can invest talent points into the ability ''Identification'' to further enhance its ability to detect, revealing their [[stamina]], [[comfort]], [[nesting|sex]], [[water]], [[food]] and even [[Ability|ability power]]. With such knowledge of its prey, the Wiehenvenator can easily capitalize on their weakness.

_________________________________________________________

== Pros and Cons ==

=== Pros ===

* Can reveal the information of its prey

* Great agility

* Stronger in numbers. Enough to take down T.rex with coordination.

=== Cons ===

* Susceptible to injury

* Middling weather resistance

* Weak as solo. Expect to hunt smaller creatures or live off of spawn gore as a solo player.

_________________________________________________________

== Abilities ==

*'''[[Primary Attack|Primary Attack]]''': A large, outward [[Bite|bite]]. It deals modest damage and has a moderate rate of attack speed.

*'''[[Secondary Attack|Secondary Attack]]''': Same as the Primary Attack, except it makes the Wiehenvenator [[Bite|bite]] downwards instead of forwards.

*'''Special Ability:''' The Wiehenvenator can gather the information of its prey. When the Ability Key is held down, a cursor will appear on the screen. When this cursor is pointed at a creature, it will be identified, allowing the Wiehenvenator to see its stats. This ability consumes [[Ability|ability power]].

_________________________________________________________

== Weakness ==

The Wiehenvenator must be cautious around larger creatures with injury-inducing attacks, such as the [[Tyrannosaurus rex|Tyrannosaurus]] and [[Saichania]]. One wrong step, and the Wiehenvenator will be crippled in a single hit.

_________________________________________________________

== Additional Notes ==

* A charging [[Pachycephalosaurus]] can outspeed the Wiehenvenator.

* As of December 21st, 2021, Wiehenvenator has lost its bleeding ability and the [[talents#serrated_teeth|serrated teeth]] talent, which was replaced with the [[talents#sharp_teeth|sharp teeth]] talent.

* Wiehenvenator is one of the fastest-swimming non-aquatic playable creatures, becoming a fairly competent swimmer when the [[talents#aqua_affinity|aqua affinity]], [[talents#strong_lungs|strong lungs]] and [[talents#resilience|resilience]] talents are maxed out. Due to this, it can be an excellent dinosaur for island hopping. But as always, beware of aquatic predators.

* Prior to November 4th, 2022, the Wiehenvenator in the game was called Megalosaurus, but its name was changed due to then new findings that Megalosaurus was actually much larger than previously thought.

=== Overview ===
The Tyrannosaurus is a playable [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivorous]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is by far the strongest terrestrial carnivore in-game. With a bite attack that does over 425 damage, it can kill all but the largest creatures in just a few hits.

A single bite from the Tyrannosaurus inflicts a substantial amount of [[Injury|injury damage]], instantly crippling the movement of its prey. This ensures that a single strike will prevent its victim from escaping. However, the Tyrannosaurus often finds itself outpaced, as its power is curtailed by its terrible stamina. This makes the Tyrannosaurus reliant on devastating ambushes, hiding among rocks, ledges, and foliage until prey passes by.

Once the Tyrannosaurus has learned how to ambush well, it becomes a predator of unimaginable power.

_________________________________________________________

=== Pros and Cons ===

'''Pros''':

- '''Absurd damage'''

- High health

- Deadly in numbers

- Fast walking and running speed

'''Cons''':

- Terrible stamina (only enough to run for some 10-20 seconds)

- Loud

- Vulnerable when young, can be hunted easily by any creature

- Bad turning radius

- Fast hunger drain

- Leaves behind a fairly detectable trail of smell

_________________________________________________________

=== Abilities ===

*'''[[Special Abilities|Special Ability]]''': Titled "'''Devastating Ambush'''" – It's a '''very''' fast speed buff, that can be activated after '''10 seconds''' of solid, ''nearly'' '''motionless crouching'''. — Once ready, an icon will appear as a status effect - press the '''Ability key''' once to trigger the Ability. Allowing the Tyrannosaurus '''5 seconds''' of '''Increased speed''', draining [[stamina|stamina]] as you run and taking a set [[ability|ability power]], if you run out of [[stamina|stamina]], you will still be able to run and continue until the 5 seconds are up. Devastating Ambush also has the exact same effect on walking speeds, '''however''' it's somewhat useless since the ability is more '''for running things down''' without getting exhausted, '''than for walking fast''', for a short time.

*'''[[Primary Attack|Primary Attack]]''': A large [[Bite|bite]]. It deals absurd damage and inflicts substantial [[Injury|injury damage]], but has a slow attack speed.

*'''[[Secondary Attack|Secondary Attack]]''': Same as the Primary Attack, except it makes the Tyrannosaurus [[Bite|bite]] downwards instead of forwards.

==Tips==

*Unlocking combat talents is recommended to make your Tyrannosaurus even deadlier. Unlocking all combat talents will allow you to deal over 550 damage.

*The stomps of the Tyrannosaurus are very loud. Due to this, the Sneaky perk is high tier for the Tyrannosaurus, as it lets you walk silently and ambush prey.

*Hunger depletes fast so be careful. Always be looking for food.

*A well-grown Tyrannosaurus can do just fine hunting alone, though pack members are always a plus to have.

*Young Tyrannosaurus are often targeted by other players in fear that it may grow to become an unstoppable hunter.

[[File:RedRavagerRex.png|thumb|A red "Ravager" [[Exclusive skins|glimmer-skin]] rex carries its offspring.]]
_________________________________________________________

=== Weakness ===

The great strength of the Tyrannosaurus only shines in its adult stage. A juvenile Tyrannosaurus will find itself slow and weak, and susceptible to being hunted. This is made worse by its loud footsteps and shallow stamina pool. Growing a Tyrannosaurus is a difficult challenge, and it will take patience and time.

Even when fully grown, however, the bad turning radius of a Tyrannosaurus can prove to be a hindrance. Enemy creatures will often aim for the tail and heels of the Tyrannosaurus, which are its blind-spots. Try mitigating this weakness by blocking your tail against a wall or standing in deep water.

==Trivia==

*The Tyrannosaurus used to have a [[Feathered and Scaly variants|feathered and scaly]] [[Variants|variant]]. Scaly variants has been removed at this time.

==Overview==
The Tropeognathus is a playable [[Flying Creatures|pterosaur]] in Beasts of Bermuda. Though a flyer, the Tropeognathus is a resilient creature, capable of flying through storms without much difficulty and even boasting a surprising amount of health for its size, able to survive a few heavy hits. Using this bulk, it can easily slay the island's smaller creatures, such as the [[Oryctodromeus]] and [[Velociraptor]], as well as injure larger creatures with a bone-breaking wingbeat attack. it is also known to not have udders.

==Tropeognathus Mechanics==

'''Wing Beat'''
*To use Wing Beat, press the [[Keybinding|ability key]] while facing another player (it can’t hit behind you)
*It can be used while in [[Flight|flight]], or while on the ground.
*If it hits another player, both you and them will be [[Knockback|knocked back]]. It deals significant [[Injury|injury]] and moderate [[Damage|damage]] to the hit player.
*Successive uses of Wing Beat now apply a “cool-down” on the creature hit by it, reducing the [[damage|damage]], [[injury|injury damage]] and [[knockback|knockback]] dealt to it, this “cool-down” stacks and goes away with time.
*It is improved by the [[Talents|Deadly Wings]] and [[Talents|Swift Wings]] talent.

'''Master of the Skies'''
*Very high base Weather Resistance.

==Unique Talents==

'''Strong Bond'''
*This [[Talents|talent]] is only in the Tropeognathus tree, as a survival Tier 4 talent.
*While [[Groups|grouped]] and close to your [[Nesting|mate]], you and your mate both receive a large boost to your max [[Health|HP]], [[Stamina]], and [[Ability]]
*If both the mated Tropeognathus have the talent, it stacks additively between the two
*It increases with the (in-game) [[Friendship|friendship level]] between you

'''Deadly Wings'''
*This talent is only in the Tropeognathus tree, on the bridge between the [[Talents|Power and Survival trees]].
* This talent improves how much [[Damage|damage]] and [[Injury|injury]] Wing Beat inflicts.

'''Swift Wings'''
*This [[Talents|talent]] is only in the Tropeognathus tree, on the bridge between [[Talents|Mobility and Survival]].
*This talent reduces the [[Ability|ability]], and [[Stamina|stamina]] cost of using Wing Beat, as well as increasing the speed buff you get when successfully landing a Wing Beat on an airborne target.

==Tips==
*It costs [[Stamina|stamina]] to take off from the water, so make sure you have enough! This can be made less costly with the Quick Takeoff [[Talents#Quick_Takeoff|Talent]].
*If a [[Pteranodon]] attacks, make sure to always be above them! After all, battling in the skies is a matter of who has the high ground.
*You turn pretty slowly in the air. Be sure to always angle yourself towards incoming Pteranodon to use Wing Beat.
*It takes a little while to begin diving, bear this in mind when trying to evade.
*Make sure not to let Pteranodons come behind you they can bite and slowly kill you!

==Trivia==
*Tropeognathus was originally going to be 150% as big, with a 12 meter wingspan!
*The Strong Bond talent was inspired by mated albatross pairs.
*Tropeognathus was going to be able to carry two creatures at once, but the idea was scrapped.
