Improve Food Distribution on the Map

5 votes

I feel like there need to be many more berry bushes, ant hills, and termite mounds scattered across the map. Not enough that it's impossible to starve or make the game super easy, but certainly more than there are now.

My reasoning is that many of the dinosaurs that feed on these resources are limited to just these resources for food, so having so few of them scattered around can get pretty frustrating even when you know where to find them. Especially if you're trying to support a whole group.

As one example against increasing the food on the map:
A massive groups of Eotriceratops (5) can stay at grassland lake indefinitely eating the bushes alone and drinking the water from the lake itself with some restoring of the water quality. There are plenty of bushes on the map, and foods that can be foraged.

Having less food creates more gameplay opportunities, migrating dinosaurs to different regions to eat instead of just sitting in a single place.

The develops have stated before that they did not want to implement a sniff/smell system to encourage players to learn the map and find locations with food supplies. I believe this same message applies to this situation.
