What logic...

[Papa Yash]

If dimetrodon gives prime meat when harvested, why so dont trikes (who has much larger body mass)? Or even parassaur?...
Really dont catch it.

[evilmai]

who ever said the larger the dino the higher chance of primes ? think abt a steak wats more exp a cut of ribeye or the bigger rump piece? quality not quantity my friend.

Also, game logic

A deer venison always better than cow meat :3 , for outdoor camping :3

lol, I didn't ever said anything about drop chance. Simple because there is no drop chance for prime meat on trike or parassaur.
I'm questioning the logic. the design. Why the hell a swamp lizard meat is better than a "bovine like" dino?

Think about what makes meat be considered 'prime' in our real world.

Expertly butchered cuts of meat from animals whose muscles have developed the right mixture of muscle to connective tissue, without becoming tough or stringy. Animals who have had a diet that would lack a gamey flavour or other texture/flavour 'blemishes'.

Consider your average, though decent, cut of beef that you can find in your supermarket. Compare that to the texture and flavour of veal, lamb, or duck. You can likewise compare your average salmon or tilapia to sushi-grade or exotic/special sea-foods that have and pleasant flavour and mouth-feel and are considered 'higher end' than average fare.

I would expect Parasaur to taste somewhat gamey, much like deer can taste if it is not processed properly. I would expect Trike to be tough -- the kind of meat that is best for braising or using in stews. Things like Dilophosaur and Raptor would likely not lend itself to prime meat due to the nature of the muscle a fast-moving carnivore would have, the quantity on their well-toned bodies, and flavour from eating various other animals (ever eaten cougar or bear? I wouldn't call either of those meats 'prime.') Trilobite like crab or shrimp (and much like insect-meats as well), and dodo much like chicken (calling a dodo like a goose or duck would be quite the stretch in my opinion.)

Just my take on it though. It makes sense to me.

Now if you excuse me, I've made myself hungry. Some slow-cooked braised trike-ribs with a barbecue tinto-sauce sounds like it would hit the spot right now.

I wouldn't mind a better explanation myself, but I'd wager it has more to do with difficulty of the dino than typical logic. If you made parasaurs/trikes give prime meat (even 1-2) it would be significantly easier to have access to it and you'd have to rebalance the yield of all other prime giving dinos.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's "hard" to get it from the dinos that give it now, but I'd imagine they don't want it available in the safer regions from weaker dinos. After all the dimetrodon is a swamp creature.

HAHAHA Nice adition. Love your post and confess, made me think of all these delicious food too. lol
Btw I see your point. Guess the devs uses the aligator meat logic for exotic flavour category on dimetrodon imaginary meat quality.

True, make sense for game wise, not so much for simulation.
