Suggestion: Note of rare Dinos

[worstcase11]

I want to suggest the following:

Whenever a rare or ultra rare Dino is appearing somewhere in the accessible area, have Mari send us a note to the mailbox in the morning.

Maybe make it dependant on friendship level?

Hi there!

Thank you for the suggestion! I will pass your idea along to the devs!

That would be fun, like a little scavenger hunt. Nothing saying what species or where it is, just that there is one afoot lol.

That would be way cooler than me just having the wiki page open and checking the dinos

this would be very nice. one of the most annoying things in this game is the presence of rare and super rare colors, and the high chance of missing out on them because you didn't know they were there and/or didn't have the necessary poppin on hand/couldn't get more.

i'd also like to add that rares/super rares shouldn't even be able to spawn on day 1 when you can't even tame them yet at all. had a melanistic styraco spawn on day 1, and i was so upset cuz i really wanted it and the chances of one spawning again are so low. i felt so powerless and it was a really crappy way to start the playthrough.

I would love a way to keep rare colors around. Like if we feed them something, let them stay over night as wild dinos so we can return to them later when we can tame them.

I also "lost" a super rare Compi due to not having the poppin yet :(

yeah, that would be very nice. i often also just don't have the means to house them, but i want to save/collect the rare and super rare colors, so i tame them anyway and then 'release' them into 'storage'. but it'd be much nicer if i didn't have to panic and rush the process in the first place.

Oh yes, I just hit a small jackpot finding two Corythosaurus today, one having the color pearl and the other being albino and taming both was quite the hassle lol

I think it would be nice if we could just catalogue colours and patterns. If you put a dino to sleep and check it with your journal, then on top of learning the rarity of its colour that dino's colour and pattern (and thus rarity) is saved in a new tab in your journal or something. That way you can collect them without having to actually tame them.

This!! I was actually really surprised this wasn't a thing. The journal keeps track of so much - why not the colours/rarities you've seen as well?

You should suggest this in a separate thread so it gets seen.
I would support it. :)
