Update #44: Dinosaur Variety

Dinosaur Variety

Hello! This week let me tell you about updates to what we call Dinosaur Variety. A player should be rewarded for having a greater variety of dino tiers within their park. Let’ s explore this idea.

Currently in Parkasaurus there are 4 tiers of dinos: Imperfect, Uncommon, Rare and Epic. Now the Info pane on your guests reveals the Dinosaur Variety experienced by your guest in addition to the total number of dinosaur seen. If a guest has seen too many dinosaurs of a certain tier they become bored, and donate less.

In the picture above the guest has seen 1 Uncommon dino, 2 Rare dino, and 1 Epic dino. No boredom!
A guest will donate proportional to the Appeal of your dinosaurs which increase with tier. This is Dinosaur Variety experienced by a guest at a raptor exhibit:

This exhibit contains 1 Velociraptor and 2 Oviraptor. The guest donates the full amount for each dinosaur. You will notice that a guest grows bored quicker for lower-tier dinos.

We indicate boredom has set in with red bars as opposed to green:

A guest still donates when viewing a dinosaur of a tier they have become bored with but at a greatly reduced.

Moral of the story: Be sure to keep Dinosaur Variety!

Also, this is a picture of the raptor exhibit from above. Apparently the Oviraptors decided to attack the lone Velociraptor.
