General Thoughts
I did my first mini run through on the map (with the mod) and tested out some of the mechanics. As someone who has played The Hunted, i was familiar with a few of the mechanics that were involved. As of the moment, I only came up with 2 issues/concerns with starting out.
- The first is the timer on eating meat. From what I could tell, I was only getting around 5 food per meat, but with a 60 second timer in between eating.. i was forced to sit still for 10 minutes before i could continue to venture. Maybe Increasing the amount of food, or decreasing the timer. It also broke immersion when berries could just be devoured. I ended up switching to only berries.
- The second thing that i noticed was the taming mechanics. I don't see the point of having babies to tame, when I can just tame the parents.. of course this was just with the dodo and hotdog (lystro), so it could just be a few that you designated.

With that in mind, I believe that the map is lovely and I can't wait to see it finish. I got some friends who really want a rpg Ark server, and your mod looks like the route we may end up going. Thank you for your work!

I just saw your message! Thanks for the feedback, we have adjustments on the food coming, indeed you are not the only one who gave us this feedback.

Only the dodo and lystro are tamable as you said when they are adult.
Why only tame the babies? We are doing this content (basically) to develop a real RolePlay content that has a real difficulty and with a bit more realism. So we decided that adult dinosaurs were going to be complicated to train and taming babies is more interesting and makes some of the Roleplay mechanics more difficult. Like poaching. Bringing back a baby mammoth from the snow biome is going to be a lot more complicated than bringing back an adult. There are a lot of little points that made us arrive at this choice and I can discuss them if you are interested! All the opinions are good to take.

We will make a big update in a few days. New biomes (Snow and Fjord), new evolution mechanics in the map (biome buff like radiation on abberation), the continuation of the procedural ruins (Alemia beacon like) and a lot of bug fixes.

I hope you will try your luck again! We will open a test server for all those who want to test the content on a PVE server (at the same time as the update).
The map being more functional in server than in solo game, it will be more interesting !

Thanks again for this feedback, even if we missed it 1 month ago !
