OUTPOST #1 – BULLETIN #127

PRIORITY: URGENT

PURPOSE: ANNOUNCEMENT

SUBJECT: NEW SPECIES DISCOVERED



Attention all scientists!


FOUR new species have been released to the cupboard today! The genetic data for these species, as well as the others we have discovered so far, will be sent to Outpost #3 as well as part of our project to facilitate the sharing of scientific knowledge between our two outposts.

Speaking of Outpost #3, we are close to being ready for an expedition to visit it in person! If you are interested in participating, information has been posted on the bulletin board.

As always, we look forward to seeing what new discoveries are at hand regarding these new creatures!

not a click thread, please post in The Click Thread if you would like clicks on your creatures.

since we now have quite a few species on TFO I thought it would be better to have one single thread for showing them off. this way some species won't have their show off thread getting buried/lost/being difficult to find or duplicates being made as a result. the individual threads will be locked, but still there should people want to look at them.

this thread works the same as the old individual show off threads, just all species in one place instead.

so go on ahead and post all your favourite creatures here for us all to stare at, new and old. :D

please don't post any new releases here until 2 weeks after the news post in which they were announced, your post will be edited to remove the new release if it contains one before then. thank you. <3

OUTPOST #1 – BULLETIN #113
PRIORITY: URGENT
PURPOSE: ANNOUNCEMENT
SUBJECT: NEW SPECIES DISCOVERED

Attention all scientists!

The discovery of two new species is being announced today! The first is a species discovered by Agnes Schnani during a recent research trip to study a new herd of Avka Felos. As it is her first solo discovery, Agnes is very excited to share her findings, and she has requested that any new data be sent to her lab immediately to be compiled with her own notes and observations. A full report on the new creature will be forthcoming.

The second creature was first recorded by Ryan W. Vernon, who enlisted the aid of Coral M. Mui to mount a deeper expedition into the southern rainforest. Their joint efforts have resulted in a comprehensive cataloging of the Koleratakos, a species as vibrant as it is loud.

With the distribution of these two new capsules, we hope that more insights into the species’ behaviors and life cycles will be forthcoming. Thank you as always for your hard work!

What are your favourite sky whales? Here are mine:

Let's make a sharknado thread about the new deep sea creatures!

Ladies first:
   
   

And the boys:
   
   

How is it the end of August already?!  As Starbucks breaks out their pumpkin spice and my local grocery store is gearing up to put out their Christmas food selection in a few days, I realized that maybe it would be good to give you an overview for the next few months.  Since TFO is so new, the community doesn’t have the advantage of tradition and so communication must fill that gap.

- There will be one more normal release in September.  Not going to spoil anything there!
- Your Halloween creatures will start to breed more successfully on the 1st of October.  They will peak on Halloween before fading back down.
- Halloween creatures from previous years (in this case last year) will drop in the cupboard and be available in the splicer from early-to-mid October until mid November.
- New Halloween creatures will appear sometime around halloween and will drop for a generous amount of time.
- At TFO we want to have the cycle of one larger holiday event a year and the rest on the smaller side.  Last year Halloween was the big event and this year we expect it to be smaller.
- Not going to spoil too much about November, but the Black Friday sale will come back in the genome splicer on November 26th!
- Winter Solstice breeding starts on the 1st of December and will peak at Christmas before fading back down.
- New Winter Solstice creatures will appear sometime around Christmas and will drop for a generous amount of time.
- We are hoping that the Winter Solstice event will be the larger event, but we have to see how it works with everyones schedules
- Winter Solstice creatures from previous years (in this case last year) will drop in the cupboard and be available in the splicer from early-to-mid December until mid January.

OUTPOST #1 – BULLETIN #109
PRIORITY: URGENT
PURPOSE: ANNOUNCEMENT
SUBJECT: PREPARING FOR COMING VENTURES!

Attention all scientists!

Warm weather and good spirits certainly fuel our outpost’s expeditions, and we are currently struggling to keep up with equipment requests. Please keep in mind that all rentals should be returned in a timely manner so that those on the waiting list can move forward with their own plans.

All plans for field expeditions should be submitted at least one week prior to departure unless extenuating circumstances exist. Special permissions are available on a case-by-case basis.

Best of luck and safe travels to all of you field researchers! May you bring back plenty of exciting new data for study!

This questline is a two-parter with a one-week waiting period between each section. Choose your path wisely.

    

Show us your cutest sloths! Okay, that describes all of them. Here are some of mine:

We are pleased to introduce two new staff members to the community!

pinkgothic
pinkgothic will be joining the team to help out with the coding behind the scenes.  I don't want TFO to get into a situation where I am the bottleneck for everything and I am extremely grateful for the help.  Right now we are currently focus on rewriting a lot of the old code that hasn't aged gracefully in order to continue to offer more quality of life updates and improved game play in the future.  pinkgothic asked me to mention that they aren't always available on discord but if you really need their help their info is available in their signature.

Zeyhxi
Zeyhxi will be joining the mod team for the forum!  We are all grateful for the extra help in bringing more organization and offering support to users where needed!

Thank you so much to both of these new team members and please join me in welcoming them to the team. :)
