Hello everyone, as you know our last major update was 1.12, which released alongside The Return to Jurassic Park. I wanted to make this thread to give my thoughts on what should be added in the next major update for the game. This list will be grouped into 6 sections, foliage, buildings, dinosaurs, bug fixes, DLC, and general features.
Foliage
This game is lacking on foliage, heavily. I understand that the game is set on multiple tropical islands, and the foliage needs to match that, but still. There needs to be more variety in the kinds of plants the game has. Jurassic Tyrant King made a really good post discussing the types of trees that were in the movies, but not in the game. Check out his post for a more in-depth discussion about this issue. One thing I cannot stress enough, please, for the love of God, don't make every new piece of foliage like the redwoods and be individual trees with crummy hitboxes. This does seem fairly likely due to the aforementioned redwoods being added. One last thing, I hope we have an update that incorporates new terrain brushes, such as gray/mossy rocks, desert sand, browner dirt, and maybe even a fallen log.
Buildings
Like foliage, JWE lacks heavily in buildings. I request that there should be new themed buildings with Asian, African, European, or American architecture. But what I really want to see, and many others agree, is statues or fossils that can be placed down. Similar to the signs added in RTJP, we could have these be of some dinosaurs, like T-Rex, Raptor, Spino, Stego, Trike, etc. Also T-Rex Kingdom, everyone wants that.
Bug Fixes/General
Not much to say on this. The only bug I've noticed is when you place down the Innovation Center, a robotic voice refers to it as the "Jurassic Park Visitor Center" for some reason. Also why can't carnivores eat goats with fighting turned off. Also vehicular damage is on by default in the Creative preset on sandbox mode. One of the biggest things people want is era-mixing. This should only be on sandbox, however, just for the creativity. Sandbox shouldn't be unlocked, that's just annoying. I do think that an automatic flat island preset would be a cool edition.
Sorry if this sounded like me being nit-picky, or not formal. I was really just rambling about the things that I wanted to see be added, also I'm tired.
