Weather, Temperature and Events!

[Oz Cun']

I have had some ideas recently about what should be added into the isle or atleast modded into as little extras i have thought of, so here you guys go!

WEATHER

:Rain: first im going to start off with Rain! when Rain occurs the screen will get darker and footsteps will be louder, During Rain Rivers or lakes may rise, Rivers will Start to flow, When a river is flowing it will become a hazard to smaller dinosaurs, from the size of a Pssitaco to the size of a Utah! when they are being swept away by the current, If they were to collide with something, Say a Rock, It would break their leg! Water levels constantly rise and fall during a rainy time thus it leads us to Floods!
[b[:Flash Floods:[/b] Floods are a Randomly Occuring Event when it rains The Lower laying areas for example swamps or spawn lakes may be flooded and rivers will rise and run faster! thus bringing the Danger of Current to even larger dinosaurs from Pssitacoes to Camaras! when a dinosaur is being swept up by a flood the speed of the dinosaur in the water may increase, if said dinosaur was to collide with something it could Likely Kill them if the speed is just right! the water will slowly be rising untill it reaches a certain point, it will stay there untill the rain stops or dies down
Misty Morning Misty Mornings may Occur during the morning after rain or a flash flood, when it is occuring, visibility will be lowered and you will not be able to see after a certain point this is an advantage for ambushing Predators and a Hinderance for Cautious prey

TEMPERATURE

Temperature is an Event that Occurs During certain times of the Day! Temperatures may rise to either they reach their maximum or Mid-day rolls by Temperatures will Drop from Mid-day Until Mid-Night, During the day When the Temperature Rises Feathered Dinosaurs will be at a disadvantage during the day, Feathered dinos will have negative affects for example: they're stamina will run out faster. Water will run out Faster for Feathered dinosaurs but Scaly Dinosaurs will Run Faster and have more stamina but hunger will Drain faster at night Scaly Dinos will move slower and Hunger will drain alot faster. when dinosaurs enter water their temperature will lower dramatically! this can be useful for Feathery Dinosaurs or during a certain event occuring in Events!

EVENTS

Wild Fires Wild Fires will be an event that occurs randomly when Temperature Rises too high, a certain part of the Map will start a Forest Fire When a forest fire starts it will spread quickly untill it has met a river or it is extinguished by rain, You will be able to see where a wild fire is occuring from a distance, a massive smoke plume will grow larger as the Fire spreads, Fires will usually be ignited in places with lots of forest and open fields and little to no Water lakes, Dinosaurs caught in a wild fire will be at an EXTREME Survival struggle running through fire causes damage, the more fire you come in contact with the larger scorch marks will get aswell as the more damage it will do, You will slowly Be damaged overtime in the middle of a wild fire due to inhaling all the smoke, The aftermath of a wild Fire is ALOT easier to survive in Water will be alot more noticeable but food will come in short supply, Predators who FIND leftover Corpses of the Fire will give a food bonus apon eating (Due to them Being cooked XD) But for Herbivores it is a different story all the plants they find will usually be burnt and thus they dont provide as much Nutrients and most of the Grass, Bushes and Trees will usually be burn so it will be difficult for smaller herbivores to find a Hiding spot to evade hungry predators
Freeze Overs Freeze overs will Occur when temperature Falls to low Scaly dinosaurs will be at a significant disadvantage in this event due to them not having the proper insulation, They will slowly Loose Health overtime and will Struggle to survive, The Water lakes will Most Likely be frozen And Plants wont provide as much Nutrients to Herbivores and Available water will be harder to find due to it mostly being Ice, Freeze overs Occur all over the land Which brings us to our next Event
Heatwaves Heatwaves are an event that occur when temperature Rises to a certain Point. During a heatwave, it is all over the island Dinosaurs all around Will slowly loose thirst and Speed, Feathered or scaly, Predator or Prey are both affected, During said heatwave Heat Rays will become more visible and Dinosaurs will have to seek Lower Temperatures, for example: Shade or Water, Resting Underneath Trees will Lower the Damage and Resting in a cave will Stop the damage completely, Heatwaves usually will occur before Mid-day and will Be more severe Depending on the temperature

CONCLUSION

So That finishes my Ideas for a Possible Update or Mod to the isle! Hope you all enjoyed, Leave a comment on how you think it could work out BYE!

I agree with you on all of this due to the fact that this would all be Natural and Makes me want to stick to larger animals to avoid getting washed away or being burnt alive or froze to death.

[DJK]

I like this.. would love to see it in game, but in a rather more.. consistent manner. Example: temperature being some sort of multiplier of water and stamina drain, albeit a different one for each dino possibly related to its size and athletic abilities.. but not like X effect affecting Y dino and so on. They should all be affect in some way.
But alas.. i'm not getting my hopes up really.. I've proposed before some sort of dynamic system like this where say, food is consumed at different rates based on the activity of the dino, as to simulate how a real animal consumes energy.. and no one really cared xD

"Feathered Dinosaurs will be at a disadvantage during the day, Feathered dinos will have negative affects for example: they're stamina will run out faster"

that doesn't make any sense because feathers not just keep the animals body warm but help it to cool down at the same time

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.553.3793

so a desert dwelling dinosaur will be in a trouble without a thick feather covering on its back
(this is one of the reasons why i disagree with the featherless dinosaurs, feathers give a HUGE advantage to its owner so there are no reason to leave them)

[Lux]

Honestly, I would love to see things like this happen in the game. Reason why is it'd give people something to do, as there is so little to do in the game as it is when it comes to mechanics. Avoiding or dealing with weather conditions, and running away from mass fires sounds like it'd be entertaining.

I do think the whole 'feather dinos will be punished when the temp rises' thing, would cause a lot of complaining, though..

[Ghost Spore]

Pretty sure everything but temperature is already planned. Dondi even showed a few snow and fire previews a few months back, they just aren't top priority right now

[Jurassic Bird]

Also volcano eruption... They planned to make it on V3, but after V3 fell to its problem, nobody ever mentioned it again.

V4 also planned to have a volcano in the center.

Not sure about temperature changes because then we get into matabolism of dinosaurs and that is a risky business. I don't think we have any evidence that dinosaurs used sweat glands. So increasing thirst in hot weather doesn't make sense either. Perhaps reducing stamina in both extreme heat or extreme cold, butanimals either die or migrate somewhere else when it is cold. Plus we talking about an island here so temperature can't range more than 10 C from one day to the next.

Alright guys i have been viewing these comments and my idea was certain dinosaurs would have certain times of the day to shine and ! admitted the Feathered Dino Disadvantage does not make any sense, this may have happened because i didnt know about the "Feathers also Regulating Temperature" thing, I might make another discussion about Singleplayer to be compatible with Offline mode. In this my idea for this was to flush out more popular areas and get people to explore that map more. i have had many Ideas while writing this, So expect more in the future :)

[Oz Cun']

as for it being in a Small ass island i changed my mind about Freeze overs, Instead of occuring all over. They would Only occur in the Middle of the Island so Dinosaurs would have to avoid certain areas to avoid Freezing Over, I was also thinking the Island being Seperated into Different areas and Fires and Freeze overs can occur into those areas untill the fire meets a river or the sun Rolls by.

[Oz Cun']

the Freeze Overs would be more common in Region 2 since that shows no signs of beach land in the map

[Reptile]

Just imagine sitting at spawn lake and seeing a huge herd stampeding into spawn. You wonder what they're running from and then you seeing it. A huge forest fire. ♥♥♥♥!! You get up seeing the fire coming towards you and start running like hell.

[Oz Cun']

XD nice!

[Jurassic Bird]

Feathered dinosaurs having disadvantage does not make any sense nor does it's fair to players that choose to play as them. It's nothing more than cosmetic detail that Dondi want to give player chance to play as what they like. Why should they be punished for choosing that?

[Oz Cun']

i said it doesnt make sense so i have changed my mind about it

[BubonTyrannorex91]

rain is plan same with fire
