Wdym
They literally have babies in PZ
It’s just that they don’t wanna add it

None of the mechanics PK has are sort of exclusive really
all of them so far are in some way or form already into one of frontier games, be it JWE or PZ or PC or whatever

I wish pz had a good growth system tho
uncut edge
They literally have babies in PZ
they dont transform gradually between states no?
dull plinth
Iirc the babies just stay the same until adulthood don’t they
dull plinth
they dont transform gradually between states no?
Yeah I think
Also PZ doesn’t have egg system for non live birth animals
Which makes like no sense
I think in ZT2 they actually made nests
And laid eggs
gloomy trail
they dont transform gradually between states no?
nein, the baby just morphs into an adult after a while
although modders figured out actual growth iirc
so they start baby smol and grow over time to then change to the adult model
dull plinth
It’s kinda cool how in JWE the animals actually look older after while
Only skin difference tho
gloomy trail
shame it's such an ugly effect though
cool idea and all but the wrinkles and such getting weirdly shaded just looks ugly
dull plinth
Ye I kinda wish they just got a bit paler not wrinklier
That’s more of a human thing isn’t it
I wonder if PK will have that
For non sandbox
slate elk
the way humans age isn't applicable to archosaurs
so the wrinkling and such wouldn't be much of a thing when going from adult to just
old
dull plinth
Just download it
It still runs on modern windows
Or buy it
I don’t know how much the discs sell for
simple basin
yeah my pc does not handle discs
it actually has no disc insert
and i dont own any console other than the ps5
so im def not buying the disc
dull plinth
Oh
simple basin
i mean
if i did have a suitable console
or a pc with a disc insert
i’d probably get the disc
but yeah
i have to rely on just simple downloads
feral mortar
None of the mechanics PK has are sort of exclusive really
all of them so far are...
PK so far is just looking at what other games have done and go "what can we do to improve it or not repeat the same mistakes"
but i do admit the self sustaining food farms is a good touch

Shout out to Saurian
They have different engine systems handling it no doubt but props on them for actually being able to implement it (even if we'll never see it)
feral mortar
It can never been as 1:1 as something like in Saurian because they can use bespoke models created specifically for a baby Tyrannosaurus. We manipulate the adult models to change some key features (e.g. snouts) and then stretch limbs in real time to achieve seamless growth.

PK is PeaK
It has some of the best renditions of prehistoric animals ever
Plus it nails the zoo concept
ngl the only PK design that isn't PeaK is their tarbo
This design could probably afford to be less rex-like, especially since Prehistoric Planet has shown us that tarbosaurus CAN look very different compared to the rex
digital briar
That's also because they pulled an extreme with how fat the rex is tbf
haughty rock
I hear they plan on Giving Tarbosaurus a younger rex body when the ontogeny comes out, so it can have proportions more in line of the animal. Otherwise yes it's just T. rex with a dewlap
torpid sinew
Good, cause tarbo seems to be slimmer as a whole
A is tarbosaurus, B is tyrannosaurus
haughty rock
The skinny snout thing I think is stemmed mostly from that one image, but in actuality they have the ability to have much broader snouts
slate elk

its a good desert-y (DUNE!!!!!!) rex design but it really isn't sold well as a Tarbo
torpid sinew

PK desperately needs a bear, I know they're adding a Cave bear but damn I would love Arctodus
torpid sinew
The differences in behavior and ecology between the cave bear and arctodus are more than enough to justify them both
haughty rock
Arctodus confuses me because every time I look up it's behavior it's something different
torpid sinew
One is a cave-dwelling bear that roamed the tundra, sustaining itself primarily on a diet of mixed plants with some meat in between while the other was far more predatory, a lanky build letting it run FAST
ok so maybe it wasn't fast
wtf
Wikipedia is presenting a completely different concept of the animal than I remember
haughty rock
Yeah that's what I meant
torpid sinew
tf
It implies it mostly browsed and its omnivory was scavenging
So the Wikipedia segment of paleobiology directly contradicts itself
Arctodus is said to be able to reach top speeds of 13.7km/h in the locomotion section
But the segment titled "Opportunistic carnivory" said it wasn't agile and that it might've hindered chasing nimbler prey
So what? Is it slow? Fast? Not fast enough? Is it a speed demon that isn't very maneuverable like carnotaurus?

I think really the important thing to think of Arctodus is "This is a bear"
We have evidence for some southern populations being fairly herbivorous and the Alaskan population relying a lot more on meat, it's like brown bears which can have wildly different diets depending on the environment they're found in

It's limbs would've have been very long in flesh.
It had a shorter spine then other bears which made look like it had long legs, add the fat, fur and muscle and you just have a big bear bear
It had some long legs.

3 bears for PK.

We can assert it might've relied primarily on camo because of its reddish coloration and we have its diet pretty well preserved

I honestly feel like dinosaur subspecies is something no one wants to get into because of the absolute fucking pandora's box it'd be

But also because not every dinosaur is well-preserved enough to get the subspecies treatment, which'd lead to inconsistencies
We can have a Tyrannosaurus rex rex but others still get binomial names

Because cave bears went extinct like, 30,000 years ago
unborn oriole
And mammoths went extinct in historical times
For all intents and purposes we are functionally in the pleistocene anyway

Dire wolves, like black backed and side stripped jackals, are outside of Canis, because dholes and painted wolves, generally treated as not part of Canis, are more closely related to grey wolves

they defo arent 100% accurate but they do tie in their artistic choices to their "in-game canon genetic engineering"

Solitary Styracosaurus is this one hill they insist on dying on; just use something like Pentaceratops for your solitary ceratopsid, rather than being petulant about contradicting direct evidence

Why would they change that? It's been in the game since Edmontosaurus was added there's no point in removing it

Yeah, they want to use it as the alt genus for Edmontosaurus, as they like the word

torpid sinew
Nigel talks about how dilo is better without a frill, how the guests always arrive expecting big box-headed scaly velociraptors, how JP is wrong about rex's sight and that it really had great vision

Yeah, it was a fairly large animal; the concept art has it at over 2 and a half meters tall to the head; it feels small next to its more recent relatives mostly because those got colossal

Honestly like what they shown so far
Looks pretty straigth fowards and the new buildings are neat
torpid sinew
I was reading the dev log and I was like
I had forgotten PK isn't just a pretty paleoart game LMAO
like there's actual gameplay coming up
torpid sinew
might actually but the damn thing now that there's gameplay
obtuse osprey
Yeah I quite like that we can manage resources
Is the kind of managment that makes sense for a zoo sim but havent seen done much before
Can help with the dead time ya have beetwen building and waiting for tasks to be done
Bit of a shame there is no map witha beach that ya can build on
otherwise I could do the JPB staff buildings
Looking at this is also a neat way to make finances a bit "harder"
torpid sinew
lol yeah
Also damn leaellynasaura has the long ahh lemur tail
I saw it in the dev log gifs... and that's honestly fine
obtuse osprey
the modular staff gates also gonna be absurdly useful
torpid sinew
Leaelly's long tail remains were not able to be confidently assigned to the species amicagraphica, but that doesn't mean they didn't have A long tail
obtuse osprey
Oh hey I can do the zt2 staff center
torpid sinew
iirc while it's undescribed the long tail belongs to a possible relative
obtuse osprey
Oh yeah
torpid sinew
Which... if it's a relative, that means we can use it as reference and give leaelly a long tail :p
obtuse osprey
I guess is something that may or may not aged badly but well
yeah gotta fill the blanks
torpid sinew
it sort of canceled out which is funny to think about
torpid sinew
ngl leaelly is cool and all but we all know they only added it so they don't have to make another hatchery category
elasmarians are ornithopods
obtuse osprey
Well also, another australian dinosaur
since it seems they rounding up the roster by location
torpid sinew
a LOT of small runner type herbivores like orodromeus, thescelosaurus, or hypsilophodon aren't ornithopods, nor marginocephalians, nor thyreophorans... so they'd need to create a whole ass new category
obtuse osprey
Wich is nice, allows some more flexibility with park building
torpid sinew
Leaellynasaura is a decently popular name from an underrepresented continent whose phylo placement lets them group it with ornithopods; it's also the only elasmarian that comes even close to being popular
Aside from leaellynasaura I don't recognize any of these except for morrosaurus (thanks PHP 2) and mahuidacursor (thanks Lucca mods)
torpid sinew
holy moly
obtuse osprey
Yep
Was the fella the giga hunted
Although if I recall is like, another Mapusaurus case
wasnt really described by then but, well
the remains were known
torpid sinew
Anyway, leaellynasaura is cool
feral mortar
also sounds needlessly complex to get food
is it?
because from what im seeing its like a more safeguarded way of PZ's keeper system
broken herald
is it?
you have to hire separate staff to load food on
back in my day you could just buy food and place it down and keepers just refilled it
feral mortar
yea labourers are basically the generalist staff since they also send merch to shops iirc
keepers are animals only
so far this is more of an automated system of food refill akin to Factorio instead of just set n forget at least in my eyes
if something isnt going according to clockwork, then you probably need more staff or another produce station 
also very encircled logistics loop after the initial hoops

the idea if im correct is to just be gone with the cage, and make them free-roam

Honestly dont mind em being looped
feral mortar
it had some issues in the alpha since theyll be stuck on a preening loop
also like devs going away from prefab buildings to modular shells kinda made the cage moot
slate elk
o huh
I suppose you could be able to craft proper miniexhibits if needed (hopefully)
since animals can go on rocks and stuff, I assume things like Microraptor could be able to fly and perch on stuff without much issue
so you could limit it to something as big as the cages
but idrk thats just my ideal wants
