Add edible aquatic plants!

191 votes

Add aquatic edible plants, or make things like lakeweed edible for unlockable diets. You can give this ability to deinocherius and other future semi-aquatic herbis. You can also give it to hadrosaurs like lambeo, for a more varied diet, or just giving it a new niche. This will give more variety for herbivores, other than forager and berry bushes.

I would love this addition!
Especially if they could add that to the deinocherius Fish diet. I don't see the use to have her as only an fish eater as there are many berry bushes. And I find her to need A LOT of food. And being a more slow moving dino, I don't want to feel stressed out reaching the waters, and on top of that HOPE that there are any fish in there! To many lakes has no fish, or the respawn is SO BAD.

100% necessary. Even if exclusive to Ducks, it would be awesome. Ducks need it the most honestly.

I think this could be a great addition to the game. The aquatic habitat is up to this point and for the forseeable future not as popular as the land. I think a niché like this will get more players to appreciate and make use of the underwater and water areas in general.

I love this idea! If they are worried about conflicting with the collection quests just up their respawn rate!

Lots of people bringing this up for Deinocheirus but another dinosaur I could see this benefiting is Iguanodon. Iggy is in a state that it is one of the most underwhelming dinos in the game; though I do like the aquatic abilities it could have to escape terrestrial predators, it doesn't have any benefit to hanging out near the water that outweighs the risk of Sarcos and Spinos. If it could eat water weeds and go basically BoB Lurdusaurus it would give it an interesting niche of having an almost exclusive food source (if shared with Duck and Lambeo) while being the Capybaras of PoT; fleeing on land to avoid Sarcos, etc. while fleeing into the water to avoid everything else. Combine with maybe some buffs to aquatic abilities and you'd have a neat dino worth trying for the novelty alone!

Better yet, have them give you water along with the food. Now you can drink less to make up for sitting in it.
