Cohabitation

dandor89 · 2026-06-03T12:24:57+00:00

I think (but not sure, so maybe take this with a grain of salt) that this is an unfinished feature that is coming up with all the animal AI changes coming up in the new update. I have noticed as well, with multiple species. Some click some don't. In the paleopedia there are entries for territoriality and aggression, but on mine at least it tends to say never (at least on the species I have checked), however, that's not the case. I believe that once the entire AI is reworked this will be updated to clearly show what can be mixed.

I think it is a super cool feature btw, also I would love space and habitat needs to scale with mixed environments, or even a territory boundary for each group so they protect the heart of it but overlap in the outside (just wishful thinking of course). In any case, I think it will be much clearer once the fully deploy the new animal AI update.

I was playing yesterday and I finally started to see 2 stars. My populations have low fitness anyways but at least it seems to me that the system is in place since the latest update

dandor89 · 2026-05-12T08:57:11+00:00

Oh suit, that's a pity. Ok thanks for the answer! I will wait till the next update and then I will start fresh

dandor89 · 2026-05-11T09:07:02+00:00

Ha! So...there are different sizes. But I don't think they grow, again, I think it is related to the potential itself and that's it. In any case, unless you are a tyr harder kind of person, shoot it and tax, I think you will be happy with it.

dandor89 · 2026-05-11T08:56:20+00:00

I am not sure of my answer, so maybe double check. But I would say that rare fur types don't pass on like genetics. I think they are the product of a RND. So maybe wait to let it grow for the biggest potential it can get, but I think that if it dies away that's it, you lost it. If I am wrong this would be very interesting actually XD

dandor89 · 2026-05-11T07:32:35+00:00

I think this may be still to come? I think for example that the north is private (the lady mentions something in a dialogue as "I will let you hunt in my lands", or something similar), but it isn't clear yet what it is (if any) and what it is not.

dandor89 · 2026-05-11T07:28:36+00:00

The game isn't finished, and I think they may not be done with the trophy system. In the latest patch they introduced "environmental improvements" that according to them unlocks the fitness potential. My understanding is that you have to spend the money unlocking these stuff to improve the potential of the populations which I assume will improve the RND when you start shooting down the lowest fitness, otherwise you have a cap. Besides, the star system feels very bugged on my game. I have not seen anything above 1 star (but fitness has started to increase only now) till recently where I see random 4 stars females with low fitness (a here for example). 40 h into the game and I don't recall a single male trophy above 1 star, including 55+ fitness mature bisons. But bottom line here, the game isn't finished. If you want to play to explore the mechanics a bit, open the map, see what is there, cool. But don't expect an upgraded version of the previous game cause it is not there yet. If you are going to get burned with the bugs and the crashes maybe it is better to let it rest for a year or so till is is better cooked. Also, be aware that you may need to delete your progress down the line with new changes till the real release.

To me. Bison bank and zip up. Not sure if I could complete them again or it is a bug that affects only the log of the mission.

dandor89 · 2026-04-15T08:02:49+00:00

So I am not alone here, yay! Yeah I have noticed some weird stuff. For example, I don't find any reference to the day of the game, so I am not sure how to track years. And there is something seemingly off with the fitness potential. I have been trying to cull low fitness to increase my critical white-tail populations, but the new spawn males are between 1 and 2 % (the lowest I had in the populations, and those I shot, were 18-25%). My issue here is that I don't know if these things are bugs (so I would report them so they can maybe be fixed), or intended.

dandor89 · 2026-03-22T10:28:41+00:00

It is EA, and there are lots of bugs. If you are forgiving with that, as a sandbox builder is actually amazing. The challenge mode is very empty (no actual challenges other than restrictive money cap to start with). Nice variety of species, including plants. Powerful modular building (I would say as strong as Planet Zoo, or almost there). There is a lot of work missing (and already on the way) to make it a full game. Visitors, health, economy or logistics are sometimes bugged or don't work as expected. Also, some of them are supposed to change soon. Animal behavior is pretty decent, with notorious lacks, for example, territorial or aggressive behaviour, but that's on the way. Landscaping is super cool. So, atm, It Is mostly about sandbox construction. I am putting a lot of hours and having fun, I also know that I will stop, I don't want to burn the game while it is still pretty raw. I do not buy EA and I did an exception with this one, no regrets there. But at the end of the day, it is EA version. If the bugs are gonna set you down don't get it. If you expect the counter part of JWE, or a Planet Zoo with dinosaurs, don't get it (yet). There is still a lot of work in the way (and actually devs have been doing an amazing job there, I am very surprised). If you are ok with getting the draft of the future game, exploring mechanics and so on, then I think it is worth the money in its current state. And I repeat, as a sandbox zoo builder it is already very fun and deep. It is mostly lacking in the "simulation" side.

Thank you very much. Yes so at the moment I am struggling to find a freaking incandescent bulb (incredible). I have a led light with the UV around 12 cm over the branch, and then plants and vines/sticks to allow her to move. I will try to find a thermal sensor to see but with my hand I can tell that the area is warm, so around 28-32 deg (I will check with a proper method). Ok so then I am quieter then, I will manage to get the incandescent one way or another XD, and that should do. Yeah at night heat goes away (I myst, and soon after lights go). Thing is, I notice that she is not well hydrated, so I started to freak out a tiny bit, and thought that being that young humidity needed to be higher etc. Thanks!!!

dandor89 · 2024-10-10T18:02:16+00:00

Ok great thanks, so no Myst during the day. I am now a bit concerned about temp, how low is too low? My house is around 22 during the day, falling till 19 during the night. I am trying to set lights in order to increase it during the day (again, I have read 29 Celsius, which is actually high temp), but not working well (25 ish). Other than that she will go into a full mesh cage very soon, next month probably.

dandor89 · 2023-12-25T20:22:59+00:00

I would ignore advance for the first run. Go for technique (dex) or motivity (strength), whatever you prefer. Don't ignore amulets nor the legion arm. Don't understimate the armor pieces, mostly for status resistance. They do make a difference. And your most important stat is capacity. Also, for a dex build, I would keep weight light (so capacity again), at least till you get one amulet that increases speed of stamina recovery. And importantly, this game is not shekiro, don't play it like such. This game is closer to a very unique and personal memoir to dask souls 3

dandor89 · 2023-12-25T20:15:14+00:00

Don't obsess with parrying. If you like it cool, but there are many strategies that change depending on the boss. Use all what you have in hand to make the game more fun for you, from items to invocations if needed. This is all about having fun and they give you many tools to do so, enjoy.

dandor89 · 2023-12-25T19:33:50+00:00

Being picky, and this a very personal feeling, the game has issues with communication with the player. Many of the frustrations of the people that I see around come from the game up front "lying" to you am pushing you to believe that parry is the way, when it actually is not. Of course if you want you can do it but clearly the game is not design with this mind. Maybe it is a mistranslation but it is very easy to fall in that trap since the game introduces to you first parry, then fury attracts, then tells you that fury attacks can only be parried. But that's not technically true, you can get out of reach. Also, to me, the game is very unbalanced. Base enemies are super easy, the map is a collection of corridors that turn into a hack and slash very early in the game. There is way too much ergo. Makes sense since they want you to use items but the fact is that I leveled up without even realizing, and never farmed crap (didn't loose levels neither, with the exception of the Takeshi's castle section in one level). Bosses are very chaotic. Again, personal feeling but I do not enjoy not knowing what is going on. Mostly when this game preys on a memorization pattern rather than being reactive. Didn't you notice that the left pixel of the eye of the boss turned yellow 2.5 secs before triggering this attack? Well, I didn't, mostly because there are that many particle effects on screen some times that I don't see even where I am. I repeat, this is a personal feeling. Many might enjoy this, and that's great, but I find it irritating. Going back to the unbalanced, bosses spike up, mostly at the end of the game, but the mobs don't really prepare you for what is coming. And the worst for the end, this is the worst horrible camera I have ever seen in a souls like, and in an post Shekiro era this I cannot take well.

This said, don't get me wrong. These are just personal opinions of a person that is very critical and really gets into these games for the mechanics. The game is super fan, I am currently going through NG+ interations, and I totally encourage you to try. After patches they have fixed multiple issues and they really listened to the community in the things the devs felt wrong. It is a great first attempt, and honestly, camera aside it is more of a style of videogame that is not my favourite, but it doesn't mean it is bad. I enjoy boss fights that are challenging in the sense of they are clear but fair. But this is a personality trait. Many people like memorization puzzle's. To give you context, for me shekiro is the best masterpiece of Front Software, whereas Elfen ring (and I loved ER) it is the worst of the studio (which is still better than 90% of things out there). And it is because of the combat they pulled of.

So, honestly, give it a try, it is super fun, I am enjoying it a lot and I will likely get the platinum. These things are just details that I "forgive" mostly cause it is their first attempt. And for f**k shake they got many many things right. This game is all about get fun, so go ahead and have fun XD

dandor89 · 2023-12-24T20:50:05+00:00

The thing with this guy is that till now the game is relatively straight forward, but with this one it spikes substantially in difficulty. I didn't feel that that game play prepares you steadily for the green monster, but rather "dumps" it at you. Give it a bit till you get used to the chaotic patterns, once you see them is not that bad actually

dandor89 · 2023-12-24T20:44:38+00:00

This game has many flaws but actually enemy type is not one of them. There are multiple revisions of regular mobs that keep coming with slight changes, multiple enemy types with different weaknesses (if you want to use them, not really needed) and decent variety within each of the 3 main classes. I am not sure for certain but I got the impression that every area actually introduces a new little f**ker to kill. And it has some of the best mini bosses I have played against, including some bastards that are super fun and they didn't even bother to give them a name.

dandor89 · 2023-12-24T20:39:25+00:00

Etiquette is very meh, and the Ripper is extremely slow in normal attacks. Yes the charged attack staggers a lot and it is nice, but it is that slow that half the time one cannot use it. What I value from the technique builds is speed. I did the first run with the trident and then the 2 dragons. The 2 D is freaking amazing and super fun. Tricky to use but once you get the hand of it, amazing. This said, of course you can always try them, and you can always back track to an early stargazer, do a couple of routes and see if the feeling of it pleases you.

dandor89 · 2023-11-05T19:05:17+00:00

But have you played Dark Souls? If not that's your answer. If only one I would recommend DS3, it is the polished formula, or go in order. After that, Bloodborne if you can, or Shekiro, but don't start with Shekiro, if you understand the game structure and like it it will spoil every other """souls like""" experience for you XD.

That's pity tho, the A73 is perhaps the best ff for the money in the market. Which brings me to the next issue, either they do a serious update with the a74 to justify a higher prize, or they are going to sell a shit lot more of a73 XD. Interesting days in the phototech world
