I'm excited that we are getting insect feeders, but I hope they will not be limited to one animal. Compsagnathus, troodon, and the majority of the small carnivores should be able to use it. I hope that will be the case so we can finally have more diversity with feeding options across the whole park.
Frontier, will other dinosaurs be able to use the insect feeders?

I have a feeling we'll get more insectivores over the year.
Given Jeholopterus is the only known user, there's potential to be a raised feeder rather than a typical one, or perhaps hosting a swarm of flighted insect prey as inferred for Jeholopterus. In that case, unlikely as it is, Dimorphodon would be the only other species suitable right now.
It even might explain why Sinosauropteryx hasn't got a mention (mentioned as a meat-eating dino on the steam page and carnivorous dinosaur on the forum page, granted they are common terms for theropods).

That would be annoying... and weird. Why create a new feeder just for one animal?
Are there any plans or is Frontier open to explore expanding this diet to other species?
Yeah, it would be neat to reconsider, plenty of base game stuff that would benefit from eating insects instead of steaks, or just plants.
This is not comparable to Tyrannosaurus suddenly going aggro on just Velociraptor, breaking previously usable paddocks. This would be like the piscivore update everybody loved.

I'm still disappointed we got Jeholopterus & not Sinornithosaurus.

What a waste. Especially since players have been saying what they wanted from insect feeders for a long time now. Could have at least made a floor variant using something like beetles or grubs.
Please ask the dev team and/or whoever makes the decisions to consider making the Insect feeders base game content. This update is the best so far but this is a massive misstep.
Also please add algae and seaweed for lagoons!!!!
That's an understatement! How hard was it really for them to integrate them with existing small dinos? Compys and tros can literally jump on and take down people, how hard would an animation be to let them briefly leap to catch a insect? It's not like meshing with the feeder is a problem given Frontier has no problem letting carnivore models collide with the meat feeders.
Good job, detective Thylaco!
I don't disagree. In the very least the Ornithimimids should eat from the Insect feeders since its highly doubtful that they were obligate herbivores.
That's even dumber when you think about it. They have long necks and are more than capable of reaching the insects.
You're getting way to far ahead of yourself. Even if there is any plans for a species such as Monoykus they would obviously include any feeders that those species would require alongside them. This decision affects existing species only.
At that point, a diet change and the feeder to be added in the update is better.
That's exactly my point. We don't need to be concerned with future species. Especially since we don't know for certain there even will be any additional species coming.
I agree. Dinos like Compys and Trodons should be able to eat insects. Maybe we'll see it in the future.
