Suggestion about fish feeder

[Pierrosaure]

hello I have a suggestion to make on fish feeders: I think it could be good to add a feature allowing to release fish in lakes and ponds, on the same principle as goat feeders for terrestrial carnivors .
This would allow piscivores (pterosaurs and spinosaurids) to actively hunt fish and make their behavior more natural.

I totally agree, but it would need volumetric water, which sadly it appears that Frontier has decided to not include. Water will be 'painted' just like JWE with no depth control.

still could have fish zooming around in the shallows

Without the ability for piscavors to eat them, what purpose would they serve, other then them being an ambient life form. That's resources I would rather see used elsewhere, at this time.

The hope would be that they could be eaten, but I see your point with the resources. They would need to do another large batch of animations and that would take some time.

hmm, I don't understand.
They are forced to add volumetric water!
How will they deal with the marine reptiles in this case?
And I imagine that marine reptiles will necessarily have the right to free prey that they can chase in their tanks, whatever the case, the fish could operate on the same principle as these same marine reptiles.

Not necessarily. They could have another enclosure that works similar to the aviary that they are housed in. So they may have some "Volumetric Water" but not all water has to be volumetric.

Well, I think, and this is just a guess on my part, that the Aquatics center housing the Marine Reptiles will function like the Aviary did in JWE, with the ability to add on "wings". I fear that the Marine Reptiles will not exist outside thier enclosure, same as the Pteranodons in JWE. We also will not have to feed them as that will be handled like the old Aviairy.

This would explain the lack of information, images, SFG, or FF on anything to do with Aquatics. Volumetric water is required in the environment to do this and it's 99% unlikely to be available this go. Just remember it took a new game to get the Pterosaurs to exist outside and interacting with the park environment.
