General Gameplay Inclusion of more live feeder types

[1v4n94]

Your Feature Request / Idea
The inclusion of more animals to the "live feeder" category.
In the movies, assets had more options to be fed with. In both Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, Velociraptors were fed with cows and pigs. Even a great white shark was used to feed the unforgettable Mosasaurus, but that's another story.

New live feeder types would be a nice addition to the game since having only goats makes the parks look a little bit monotonous and repetitive.

Cows for the large dinosaurs, goats for medium and chickens for small.

 

[LordTrilobite]

Yes, this. Even from a gameplay perspective it makes sense. We have large feeders for the other types, so why not for live feeders as well? Cow would make a good addition.

 

[Alphacenturion]

I completely agree with this. Cow dispensers were on JPOG and like you've already said both pigs and cows were used to feed the carnivores in the films.

 

[BrianLyons314]

That's a great idea. If frontier does that they should also make the live baits socialize with dinosaurs too just like the goats.

 

[DinoMaster9000]

A fish feeder(dead or alive) would also be very nice for the spinosaurs. Some variety would really be ideal. Even if they weren’t separate feeders, but options on what it dispenses.

+1, my dude. Great suggestion.

Indeed. Actually, I'd love that for every spinosaur in the game (Sucho, Baryo and Spino)

 

[LordTrilobite]

Fish feeder? Yes please.

 

[1v4n94]

Fish feeder? Yes please.

Those Velociraptors in JW went crazy with that sh*t! xD

Definitely would be a good addition to the game. Cows being the "large" version of goats and it would be neat to have a live fish feeder for the spino family. Would be a really cool cameo if the fish they used were pale skinned trout like the ones from the book. Although I know it was Biosyn that made those and not Ingen it would be a fun nod. Not really sure what they could use instead anyways.

 

[LordTrilobite]

Also fish for Ceratosaurus as there was a study that suggested that it ate much more fish than it ate other dinosaurs.

I would honestly hate to have chicken clucking all over my exhibits. But #TeamBeef all the way

There is not much that hasn't been said here already but I do want to agree with all of this. Even if the chickens might be annoying, the option would be great. Also since it was brought up in the original post, lets expand the influence of the build area and add water attractions with Mosasaur and elasmosaurus.

That's an interesting idea. Making the live baits be afraid and react to the huge and ferocious beasts would be awesome!

 

[Skawt]

I like this idea.

Live fish for the Spinosaurids and maybe some egg feeders (I remember as a child reading about smaller carnivores/omnivores stealing eggs, but I may be out of date on that).

I think it would be even more neat if these were implemented as required dietary supplements on top of the required vegan/meat diets. The trade-off would be a longer feeding interval on each. A higher up front investment (building them) for a very cheap long term feeding plan (replenishing them).

 

[1v4n94]

Thanks for your opinion, Skawt. Live fish would be amazing, I agree.

I don't know about egg feeders, though, since there are not really small creatures other than Trodoon. It's not really needed, in my opinion.

 

[LordTrilobite]

All carnivores eat eggs when they get the chance. There aren't a lot of animals that exclusively feed on eggs. like 1v4n94 said, it might be suited for animals such as Troodon or perhaps Velociraptor. But it's really not needed. An egg feeder would really have no use. The meat feeder already fulfills the same purpose.
Fish feeder would be different though since it would be situated in the water. That's a reason why it could be interesting. If there's a live fish feeder it could be fun to make big interconnected water systems so that fish can swim all over. It would also be suited for most carnivores. And especially suited for the Spinosaurids and Ceratosaurus.

 

[Skawt]

I figured as much. It's been 25 years since I read up on the egg eating ones, and that theory has likely been debunked. In the end, I'm all for more feeder types.
