Taming Pen

On the PTC server running Ark (Ragnarok map), a is any player-created location with a dino pen, intended for use while taming.

Purpose
A is a permanent structure that is intended to act as a place to pick up and drop a dino with a flier or to "train" a dino in for the purpose of taming by either "vanilla" means (knock outs + narcotic) or the Immersive Taming Mod.

Because they have outpost amenities and a dino pen they might make good places to camp for overnight log-offs. Check signs for danger warnings. Before carrying a dino here, check that no one else is actively using the pen.

IMPORTANT: please do not leave random dino gates or similar structures up without checking how it might effect nearby resources. Taming Pens should only be created in locations where it might be extra dangerous to construct a pen in a hurry or far from areas where doing so might be sensible. It must provide all of the amenities found in an outpost plus additional amenities listed in the next section.

Amenities
A has all the amenities found in an outpost, but must include the following:
 * 1) An empty enclosed pen to drop off a wild animal to be tamed.
 * 2) A small durable shelter to duck into during the taming process.
 * 3) A bait cooler for preserving bait used with the Immersive Taming Mod.
 * 4) Access to one or more of the crafting tables for making Immersive Taming baits. The may be out or they might be stored inside another container.

PTC Rules

 * If you use it, replace it. This goes for common resources, supplies, and gear.
 * Exception to the above: any bait or bait supplies left behind are up for grabs so take them with you unless you are actively taming.


 * Please leave enough fuel for the next person to stay warm overnight and to cook, as many times storms or weather changes makes these attractive rest stops.
 * Leave behind any excess supplies weighing you down like wood, stone, etc. if you're stopping for a rest. This isn't required, but nice.
 * Leave behind any gear you might otherwise dump, like common looted cloth or leather armor in case you or someone else needs warmth in a pinch.
 * Don't dump all looted trash in containers here as space is limited. For example, "vanilla" building parts just create clutter, so dump those on the ground or take them to your base's industrial grinder.

Signs and Billboards
Signs here tend to alert you to danger.
