Fish in the water

[merry wyvern]

Any chance for adding fish in bodies of water to act as fish feeders? Maybe a small fee to keep the body stocked along with new animations that have the park animals feeding on them from the water.

I think those could work as a VFX piece. Like in Spore Galactic adventures

[scenic sky]

I’d like that like a fish school

[shut pewter]

Fish school that fish eaters attack by biting or lunging could he a good work around

[boreal fractal]

Or like ducks swimming around too, for realism

[verbal robin]

Talpanas?

[boreal fractal]

Nah, real ducks, cause no zoo dosnt have wild animals swimming around in the habiaits. If u look at a zoo, you will see wild birds flying and landing in it

[verbal robin]

I feel like in that case: parakeets, magpies, herons, swans, geese, turtles, frogs and lizards ect. should be added

[shut pewter]

Yeah that’s getting a bit much

Ducks, geese and swans are one thing, even if it’s just ambient animals but it’d be a lot of work

I think it’s super cool but might be troublesome to code in

And we need a setting to choose what animals for people making certain parks, and being able to turn off ambient animals

Also very different than what we were saying with these fish being able to be hunted

Live prey is interesting but again difficult

[magic osprey]

Im more for adding prehistoric ambient animals

Like instead adding ducks, add hesprerornis

Or instead herons add pterosaurs

[forest storm]

That doesn't really make much sense for a number of reasons, tbh.

[magic osprey]

Or make prehistoric ambient as alternative

[forest storm]

For one, PK takes place in the present.

Having prehistoric animals as ambients kinda has bad implications for world-building.

[magic osprey]

Okay fair enough

But what if i wanna make it look like mesosoic instead?

Honestly though just fishes in water is good idea in my oppinion

[summer eagle]

At that point you’re talking about a full new system required for allowing these animals to fly around/swim

I’m sure if they were to figure out how to implement flying/aquatic creatures, it would certainly not be limited to only ambient animals

[verbal robin]

gar?

[verbal robin]

im not suggetsing adding ALL of them, just some suggestions

[shut pewter]

We should narrow down which non fish and what fish

[shut pewter]

Feral trex

[hearty token]

Just fish as feeders bro 😅

[spark fractal]

If we get trout, black bass, salmon, catfish and sturgeon, the lakes and rivers will definitely looks more alive

Sure, each fish with it's own water type. The fish variation would be something aesthetic and who knows someday, interactive with spinosaurids, i mean, they could add an animation for spinosaurids and crocodiles (if we get some species someday) catching fish in the river or lake like an heron

[verbal robin]

Don't forget shoals of tetras/corydoras for tropical park

Or make them modular peices somehow so they can go in terrariums

[shut pewter]

We definitely want them super bare bones so their easy to implement but can also be a food source
