Depleting digsites early keeps certain dinos unlockable.

Cos I've been sending constant teams out. I don't wanna say, deplete Hell Creek before the Rex unlocks only to find it doesn't refill with Rex fossils.

Do new dinos appear at old dig sites?
I thought every dig has predetermined content.

Yeah, Dracorex I'm sure was slotted into an old digsite when I unlocked it. Chungkingosaurus which you unlock on Muerta did too cos it's same site as Huayangosaurus which is unlocked on 1st island.

Turns out they don't. Someone on Facebook has already depleted the diplodocus dig site and can't unlock it.

What an utterly dumb decision. If I'd have known id get each Dino to 50 and then stop.

What?

I have already depleted 3 dig sites and I am only on the first island.
I wanted all my dinos on the first island to be at 100%.

So that means that I won't be able do get all dinos because some dig sites are already out of the equation?

This can't be right!

Going by the guy who can't unlock diplodocus, I think that's the case.

Hope someone else can verify. Because that is an awful decision.

I really hope they did the math. Every dinosaur should be present in more than one dig, I believe.

Maybe they didn't want us to 100% all the species in one playthrough? It is a very weird decision, though, I agree.

I'm hoping the guy just hasn't unlocked the 2nd diplodocus site yet.

I do believe that MUST be the case. Maybe I'm overly optimistic. In any case, as of now I'm ceasing all attempts to get every genome to 100% until I have all the dinos unlocked. Just in case. :D

This needs clarification by the Devs asap!

I fear I need to start a new game, with 3 dig sites already depleted on the first island.

Interesting... Not sure how I feel about this one yet, I'll have to play enough for it to start affecting me. I've taken note just in case. Looks like my slow-and-steady style of play paid off for me this time! (I haven't depleted ANYTHING yet on the first two islands because I'm a lazybones. Pun partially intended.)

Is there a way to tag a developer?

Cos this is arguably game breaking, if say you deplete the t rex sites early.

Baryonyx,

can you adjust the topic of this thread?
It really doesn't fit the concerns anymore.
Something like

"Depleting dig sites early makes certain dinos not unlockable?"

That can’t be right. That would make no sense to have a site depleted with possible future dinos. Nothing says anything about this in game.

I'm hoping I'm wrong and the guy on Facebook just hadn't unlocked the 2nd diplodocus island yet.

Is it possible these dig-sites (and their depletion) is on a timer? As in, per every 24-48hrs (real-time) they become accessible again? If all the islands are connected (from a gameplay point of view) it literally makes no sense for dig-sites to be completely (and permanently) depleted; there's no longevity in that.

All mine save one are at 100% now on the first island before moving on, and at this rate, I might as well finish that one off too.

Hope this isn't an issue... [noob]

If dig sites deplete and newly discovered dinos can not be accessed anymore on that dig site, then this is gamebreaking by design.
