@grey nothing

If you notice from the picture, there is actually a pale green color you can find them in.

This was originally intended to be glow-in-the-dark, however it is non-trivial to get it to correctly glow and shine when placed on the floor - AuthenticZ’s glowsticks don’t even do this - they only emit light when equipped or when attached to the player’s backpack/belt.

Rather than come up with a hacky and likely quite buggy/MP unfriendly solution to get them to glow when placed on the floor, we are opting to wait for B42 and the new lighting system to see if implementing glow-in-the-dark items will be more feasible.

A typical manufacturer mass-producing cheap plastic toys for budget bins at Toys R’ Us and stores like the Dollar Tree in 1993 would have almost certainly used the term “pterodactyl” to refer to any pterosaur, since it’s also the term most widely used in non-scientific English.This is assuming they didn’t misspell it “teradactyl”.

At any rate you would probably very much appreciate the channel “Your Dinos Are Wrong” https://youtu.be/QClfSZ0WbvA?si=Yplc3AQILFoorbGt (although I suspect you might already be familiar with it :) )

@DragonNTigerZ (1/2)

Alas alas, we aimed for historical accuracy, not scientific accuracy. Our focus is to base the dinos (and non-dinos like pterosaurs that get lumped together with dinos) off of similar or actual toys of the late 80s and early 90s, and label them as they would have appeared in 1993. Toy manufacturers back then weren’t all that concerned with scientific accuracy (they still generally aren’t).

Dinoriders, which were around in the late 80s and early 90s, actually made a distinction between Pteranodon and Pterodactylus (which they called a Pterodactyl). However, on the box art, the Pterodactyl[us] is depicted WITHOUT teeth and Pteranodon WITH teeth - when the exact opposite is scientifically correct (by contrast the official Jurassic Park merchandise in 1993 correctly depicted Pteranodon as toothless).

Sigh... the paleo nerd in me wants to point out that there's no such thing as a "Pterodactyl" and that the proper name is Pterodactylus... also, those appear to be Pteranodon.

how can i possibly pass this masterpiece up?
Spenglerian  [author] Oct 31, 2024 @ 1:01am 
On a more positive note, we are happy that this mod has reached fellow dino enthusiasts and dino appreciators!

Also, shoutout to @Pompadour Nautice. I really dig your Collections mod - it’s nice to have mods that add historically accurate stuff to the game (and on top of that, being able to completely customize the spawn rates of more obscure things based on player preferences)

@Tenninch and @toxicece02340

Along with how plastic recycling actually produces massive amounts of microplastic waste too small to be filtered (particles smaller than 5 nanometers) and how recycled plastic can often contain heavy metals and other toxic contaminants introduced during collection and consolidation, it’s indeed a serious problem worth considering :(

Rest assured, the next dino pack will consist of the fancier rubber ones - although I cannot guarantee the rubber is sustainably sourced (natural rubber grown on poor quality/depleted soils rather than clear-cutting healthy natural forests)

OMG Give me more!!!!!
toxicice02340 Oct 30, 2024 @ 9:03am 
Tenninch's fun fact is an actual fact according to a recent study. All of us it seems, regardless of nationality. It raises some serious societal health questions with no clear answers as of typing this, so sleep well tonight.
grey nothing Oct 30, 2024 @ 8:56am 
Any plans on trying to make rare glowing version of those?
