What with cooking coming soon, and this being so hard for me to find on google if I didn’t remember the exact wording… I thought I would share this content here for everyone who has not seen it!
Also hopefully this will help serve as an archive for it if it goes down elsewhere.

[SIZE=5][U]A lot of stuff was mentioned, promises broken, things got partly introduced and then removed or only advertised and never actually made it into the MMO called “Project Entropia”.
(now Entropia Universe)[/U][/SIZE]
[B]This blog is getting updated everytime something goes Oblivion.
Just scroll down and down and dooOoooOooOOOOowwnnn…[/B]

Project Entropia - Fails to retain identity since 2009
[B]Harvesting was mentioned back in 2000 and the harvester tool was there
in early beta. It was powered by Future AA batteries, which were
used as “ammo” for this tool. You just aimed at plants to gather ressources.

(H-50 Farmhand Alpha)[/B][/CENTER]
[CENTER]
This
is a standard model using a close-range teleportation system to harvest
various forms of edible plants for personal use. It was primarily
developed as a device for basic survival in the wild as well as an
alternative to hunting.
And somewhere in Marcos “dreams” he mentioned gardening…
[B]In 2008 some designer placed the farmhand behind an auctioneer…as decoration…
[SIZE=2](it was just the 3d model, no interaction possible)[/SIZE][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/B]
The inventory item of it.
15 years later MA introduced the Terratech :
Some trees show a node and can be harvested
for wooden boards now.
[B]The meat extractor was there, in early beta.
It was powered by Future AA batteries, which were
used as “ammo” for this tool. You just aimed at dead mobs
to gather ressources.

(mlx-440 Meat Extractor)[/B]
[CENTER]
The MXL-440 is a standard field model using conventional laser technology to
cut up and extract the meat before using an auto link to transfer the
meat into the inventory. It leaves a minimum of waste, but the
appropriate skill is required in order to operate it effectively. Like
all Meat Extractors, the MXL-440 cannot be used as a weapon due to its
built-in safety function.

[CENTER]
Use MeatExtractor with Longu Carcass!
The inventory item of it.[/B]
Even the Meat Extractor Skill-Icon was still present in VU 3.4 :
[CENTER]
The foodpacks were there…as an image. (and unused textures)
(VU 3.4)
This thing was called FC-100 Food-Mate : [/CENTER]
[CENTER]
This is one of the most basic field kitchen models.It’s
able to turn any type of raw food into cooked food, but it can’t handle
Food Packs. From this perspective it’s more practical for experienced
travelers who are used to gathering their own food in the wild as they
go.
There even was a cooking skill symbol in the folders of VU 3.4 :
[B]Also todays fruits (papplon, caroot, bombardo) could be found in VU 3.4.
Spare Ribs, Chicken Leg, bread and a cut off hand,
never made it into the game.(?)[/B]

[U][B]Overview of VU 3.0 (beta)
(2001-12-11)[/B][/U]
[SIZE=2](click to enlarge)[/SIZE]
And the old skill symbols all together :
[CENTER]
There also was a PCE-50 Field mate :[/CENTER]
[CENTER]
PCE stands for Portable Computer Enhancement and arethe
most common series of Com-Pad models on Calypso. They are originally
constructed as rugged field models for extensive use in any type of
environment and were never designed as fashionable urban items.

The texture.
The 1st ingame weapons :
(not sure if they got removed or renamed)
EWE Laser Handgun EP-90
EWE StarBlaster Combat Rifle AR5
There was this window of, “Mix Injections” (unused) :
Maybe this skill symbol was related to it ?
Back in the beta version, the mix injection screen had a different design :
[B]You could find a “Biohazard Box” by Omegaton in the texture folder.
It has the look and feel of the standard FAP.
I wonder what happened using it… [/B]
There was this repair/recycler in the texture folder :
There was this concept of a surgical glove :
Even a monster, called Gazonk, didnt make it into the game :
But you could see it everytime you logged in (2004-2005) :

[SIZE=2]The loading screen was called “natures eye” btw.
and it had three versions,
which you can see below :[/SIZE]
Without humans and without Gazonk, Flies and Argonaut.
The Neco Insect also only existed on this single image :
Same about the “Katang” :
[B]“The old textfiles” mentioned something like:
“What awaits you in the sewer system of Port Atlantis?”[/B]
[but there never was any sewer system in PA]
[SIZE=2]This “mutant” got sold on a T-Shirt back in the days…never [/SIZE][SIZE=2]seen him ingame though.[/SIZE]
Or this mutant (probably an Umbranoid(?) :
While the 1st Gauss Rifle (Kaiser-Graf HVMR-1) got looted in 2005,
one might think that the so called “mutants” already had these
type of Gauss Rifles back in 2000…at least on this image, from 2000.
Feel free to compare and decide for yourself :

Ahhh the Stahlsteiner! We expect a shipment soon !

[B] Did you know that the textures of the beverages are ingame since 2001 / 2002…
…but, of coouurrsseee unused to this date (08.03.2017)[/B]
[I]Just like many, many(!) other unused textures that find their way ingame now and then.
For example as secret robot transmitter.[/I]
[B]The Parley BEER logo got introduced with the beach hut on Treasure Island. (2006)
Only the logo…no beer ofc.
If you google “Parley Beer”, the 1st result will be an actor named “Parley Bear” :[/B][/CENTER]
