Elder Dinosaurs

Once a dinosaur reaches the Adult growth stage it then starts progressing towards the Elder growth stage. Growing into an elder, a dinosaur will get 1.5x as large as it was as an adult, and 1.5x as powerful.

There is a new button on the gameplay escape menu. "Return To Nest", it will return your dinosaur to their original nest location.

Changes:
  • Rare plants can now be eaten from ten times more than previously. This was done to make finding one more rewarding for longer and so players may be more likely to seek them out over other plants.

  • Uncommon plants can now be eaten from three times more than previously. This was done to make finding one more rewarding but not as rewarding as a rare plant.

  • Herbivores can now form herds with other species of herbivores. Carnivores can still only form packs with their own species. One herd/pack member is added per call and it is the closest dinosaur to you that meets the criteria to join you.


Bug Fixes:
  • All Dinosaurs' footstep audio is once again controlled with the "Footsteps" slider in the game options audio menu, some of them had been switched to the combat audio slider.

  • Random dinosaur spawns may not have been randomized differently upon game startup. This should be resolved and each time you start up the game there should be a different set of randomized dinosaurs spawned across the island. (Other than the nest guardians that always spawn around nests)
