Prestige & The Deep
Update 1.5
The Isle of Nugs just got a lot bigger, a lot deeper, and a lot crispier.
A Bigger, Deeper World
A ring of deep ocean now surrounds the island, ready for the swimmers that are on their way. Every coast slopes down into the sea, so no more edges that stop short of the water. Lakes have real deep middles now.
The land itself is far less flat: new mountain ranges with canyons to walk through, cliff-walled mesas with paths to the top (two of them joined by a causeway), a plateau, terraced cliffs and forest clearings.
Press M for the island map, now a real top-down view of the island.
Prestige & Nugget Coatings
Max out a class and you can now prestige it: the class XP resets and you earn a brand new nugget coating for every dino in that class. Six to collect: Spicy, Garlic Lemon Pepper, Grilled, Buffalo, Ghost Pepper and Golden.
Dinos Feel Alive
- Tails counter-balance the head and swing with every stride
- Charge: horned and armoured dinos and Pachycephalosaurus can sprint and hold bite to ram, doing damage and sending breading flying
- Drinking: hold E with your head down at the water
- Overeating: eat past full to grow faster, but get STUFFED: less stamina and a faster-draining sprint until it digests
- Glossy eyes
Hunting & Moving
- Bites cover a 50° cone in front of your head, and catch dinos right next to, under or just behind it
- Dinos stop much faster and no longer get stuck in cracks, corners and small bumps
- What your dino can eat now glows softly: tree leaves for tall dinos, shrubs for smaller plant eaters, bugs for small hunters (toggle in Settings)
A Calmer, Living Island
- About half as many wild dinos, for a quieter world
- Rain and storms roll in on their own, and the breeze is easy to see
- Bigger plants lean out of the way as you push through them
- XP now comes from what you do (eating, hunting, nesting, hatching), not from just staying alive
