Species Field Guide - Stegosaurus

[Jens Erik]

But i need more Species Field Guide! More! I need to see more dinos!

There are more coming!

wow. the animations looks awesome

I know, right?! The team has done such an incredible job <3

Can they survive with out feeders ?

I think they could, but you would get higher rating if you have ground feeders with fruit to suplement the natural shrubs, bushes, and ferns in it's enclosure.

I would also like to know it was written that they don't need feeders now because they eat plants, but now I don't know.

I'm gonna answer all three of these at once

Herbivores feed on foliage and greenery and won't require feeders. We understand that the reference to ground feeders could be a little confusing, so we've removed it from the write-up.

I'm hoping new hatching system will make launching a new Stego exhibit easier to manage. (Jens probably can't answer all of this atm, but) How many stegos can be hatched at once from a creation lab per clutch, and what is the minimum social requirement for a herd?

 

[DragonNTiger]

There are more coming!

But will they ever come faster? There are so many left to go and it's hard to wait a whole week for a new one.

Nadchodzi więcej!

Wiem, prawda?! Zespół wykonał tak niesamowitą robotę <3




Odpowiem na wszystkie trzy na raz

Roślinożercy żywią się liśćmi i zielenią i nie potrzebują karmników. Rozumiemy, że odniesienie do podajników naziemnych może być nieco mylące, więc usunęliśmy je z opisu.

Thank you very much for your answer and I'm looking forward to the premiere

That rolling and wallowing is wonderful. I'm hoping that the dinosaurs will also interact with the natural decorations, the rocks and trees and such, scratching on them and climbing/hopping on them for the small bipedal dinosaurs, etc. Also if they wallow in the water or if you have a patch of sand they'll have a dust roll.

Also, I wonder if you can mix the foliage for the dinosaurs together if you have more than one species in an enclosure and they prefer different things, like say paw-paws and rotten wood in the same area and the dinosaurs who prefer one over the other will graze together and only eat what they like, and also mix ground vegetation with trees so the sauropods and the others can mingle while they munch.

Nice new behavioral features. I must say even with planet zoo these animal and dinosaur animations are just amazing. Great job frontier.

same here as well

Did you even read the reply?

 

[Indomania rex]

They have already answered that question

Great animations. It would die when rolling around but who cares its jw . Looks great. You guys have such talented developers

why would it die?

Also pre alpha——-> alpha

 

[paul78]

Hopefully this girl soon

Here you see how huge it is with flesh on the skin. Lovely. Remember this is one of the largest trex we ever found most are smaller. Not a lot reached this size.

Extra ones on special events (Gamescom & Halloween seem possible). Beyond that, if the Feature Focuses end we might see two a week.

Ahh its good to be adult, i know how hard it was as kid to wait for a new game. I feel your (my)past pain .

Why would it die? It's taking a dirt bath to protect itself from biting insects? IRL, large mamals, rhinos and elephants for example, do exactly this sort of thing for that very reason, yet don't die because of it. Fully plausible and reasonable behavior.

Hey Aramus! How many dinosaurs can be released from a Hatchery depends on the species. I don't have the specific clutch size for Stegosaurus off the top of my head, unfortunately. Minimum social requirement should be around 4 individuals, but keep in mind that this might change between now and release.

Also, I wonder if you can mix the foliage for the dinosaurs together if you have more than one species in an enclosure and they prefer different things

Yeah, you can! Just make sure there's enough room for the different types of foliage.

Well, it wouldn't die, but it would probably damage it's plates doing that, is what I think they were getting at.

I'm not sure how plates are held there actually, so it could maybe over stretch a ligament or muscle rolling over too much.
