I'm excited all over again.

Already posted this to Reddit but I'm really bored so I'm posting it again here. While following another post to this video, I noticed this tab. It's shown me a new layer of realism I'd missed before: Each species has its own appetite and metabolism ratings. I'd assumed it would be like the Sims, where dinosaurs just slowly get hungry over time regardless of their physical traits. I see now this isn't the case! Bigger dinosaurs will require more food, and dinosaurs with a faster metabolism will need to eat more often. I also wonder if it's possible that each individual dinosaur will have its own values (which I doubt), or if gene modification will affect these ratings.

Further wondering what else is on this tab when you scroll down... Looks like there could be a bunch of other stuff that makes up the bio of a dinosaur.

I'm too excited, it's getting hard to contain it. My feet are getting tired from all this pacing of the floor.

Wonderfull!

I'm waiting for this game since Operation genesis and I have to say that seems the DEV. manage to give us a worthy successor.
:)
 
Agreed. I'd occasionally think "Boy, I wish someone would make a successor to JPOG... Why hasn't anyone brought that up to modern standards yet?" I happened to be musing on that in the shower the day Evolution was announced, and I've been chomping at the bit ever since.
 
Metabolic rate is in yet no sleeping mechanic....


Gahhh so excited for this game. Wishing it was out already. Cant contain my inner 5 year old much longer.

Having the metabolic rate would work with the gameplay mechanic of having to restock the feeders. As was said in the OP, Dinosaurs with a higher metabolic rate will need more food. Meaning they will eat more and you will need to work to keep that carnivore feeder restocked with meat and goats.

But sleeping doesn't bring anything to the gameplay. The metabolic rate does however.

Why do you need to bring sleep mechanics into this? It is like a vegan trying to make sure everyone knows they are one. It has to be brought up constantly

Why ? Metabolic rate is in the game but no sleeping ? Would have thought it was self explanatory. Maybe I have gone overboard a bit, but I only really bring it up were it is related. Tbh am done with this argument. Ill apologise to OP for accidentally apparantly highjacking this thread. Bring on the game I cant wait.

Sleeping is a metabolic regulator IRL so your statement doesn't make a lot of sense. High metabolism dinos need more sleep because they burn more calories, slow metabolism dinos sleep less because they don't burn calories as fast.

How does it not make sense? If they use a lot more energy they would need to eat more. Also everything I said about metabolism contributing to the gameplay is true. They will need to eat more. This isn't real life here. It is a game. The Dinosaurs aren't real.

Dinosaurs sleeping adds nothing to the game.
 
Can we alll chill out about the sleeping and give time and space for Frontier to breath a little?Maybe they add it later in a patch.
