Where is the pause button?

[SirRantsAlot]

I was trying a lot but i could not find it.

Pressing esc for menu pauses the game. There is no pause and issue commands feature though.

OMG. Really? No pause button ingame? I mean this is 2020. Is there a mod that gives a pause button? I like to plan without ill hectic.

[Karmaterrorᵁᴷ]

Nope, this game dosent support mods. So the only mods you find are replacer ones, like replace trex with a different skin etc

Pretty sure its an intentional design choice. With pause you wouldnt have any pressure with storms or dino needs/escapes. Just pause and fix the needs/fences then unpause. Where now its more of a scramble to get it done quick when it happens :)

THX. No i need to decide if i call for a refund. This kinda strategy game without pause button is nearly gamebreaking to me. OK Artmoney worked out fine as compensation for missing pause button but i prefer pause for planning. I really hate action in strategy games ;)

[Karmaterrorᵁᴷ]

I wouldnt refund for that, its not so bad. Once your used to it you can do things like tranq problem dinos before storms hit. Recovering from a breakout is pretty easy also, maybe 3 mins or so then your back to miller time admiring the dinos :)

PS Keep an eye on your playtime if you are thinking about refunding it, 2 hour max playtime.

THX. I guess i will keep it anyway. My nephew just informed me, that he was maximum annoyed by sabotage but nevertheless finished all campaigns. I guess i will do so.

Honestly playing through this I never once even thought about the need for an actual pause button.

you don't need a pause button to it, act fast and tranquilize them, make their enclosure better for their needs.

all you need to know is the game is like a puzzle of things to do, and all dinos are just babies \ kids feeling.

hope my tips can help:

as I said in your other discussion:

"check Dilophosaurus social, grassland, comfort, population, forest needs (include food and water), If one of the scales are in Red side of the parameter he will always attack your fences.

you can tranquilize all of them, fix their enclosure and transport them back in."

And thats exactly what i absolutely hate in strategy and Building games. Stress and hectic! I never played any version of settlers cause of this and frankly speaking i did not expect this defect in a game like this. I mean what is the problem? If someone loves stress and hectic he can avoid pause button. I would use it very often in order to enjoy the game.

true. i like to pause and build. in all other games from frontier it work i guess

[SirRantsAlot]

e.g. Now i had to remove some roads to install a monorail which is hard at the smallest island. And what happened exactly when i planned it and my ranger station had no connection with the entrance but the Reserve/Enclosure of my dinos?
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED THEN?
YES ... NOW they fell ill and my rangers cant heal cause no road to main entrance. Dont know what the f***** main entrance has to do with it. Anyway.
With a pause button i could have prevented this from happening. And to make it clear:
IT IS NO FUN PLAYING LIKE THAT. I HATE HECTIC IN STRATEGY GAMES!! I REALLY HATE IT!
I want to pause, look again and think about maybe while drinking a cup of coffee AND finding the best solution.

All of your issues(in this thread your other one) are definitely the learn2play kind. It was not difficult at all for me to place the road and monorail to the starting enclosure on the south end of the island. And you know you can just restart an island while keeping everything else right? You caused these problems and they can be easily fixed(PREVENTED) if you use your head. Less raging. More thinking.
