Talk:Creature Diets

My change to the Achatina's diet has been reverted, but the information has not be placed elsewhere on the article. When I went to add it somewhere, I found there wasn't an appropriate heading or section - aside from a trivial note, but it's not exactly trivial. I noted that the oviraptor and pelagornis pages also do not specify their post-tame diets (or, at least, they do not mention how their post-tame diet differs from all other tames).

While it's true that most dinos will default to eating raw meat/berries once tamed, regardless of specific taming requirements (e.g. compys don't continue to only eat prime) - creatures like the pelagornis will continue to only eat fish, and the achatina will continue to only eat Vegetable Cakes. While you might think "piscivore" is all the information you need, kairuku will eat raw meat once tamed (although that could be argued that the kairuku's diet needs to be changed to "Carnivore, Piscivore" or even just "Carnivore"); and "Herbivore" certainly isn't useful information for Achatina.

There needs to be a section that denotes what you actually need to feed your tames to keep them alive, or the existing Dietary section needs to permit more complex information. 3mptylord (talk) 19:01, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the suggestion! The diet-parameter is only for the diet that is displayed on the dossier in the game, and only covers the large groups like herbi- or carnivore. At the same time the values of that parameter are used to categorize the creatures on the wiki, so it should only contain these few fixed words. As the game gets more and more complex, these categories are obviously not always correct, or rather, not precise enough. I think another parameter, like  that could contain additional explanation to the diet, like you suggested, would solve that issue. I'll add that to the infobox. If you have additional ideas how to improve the clarity of it, you're welcome to post it here. --Cadaeib (talk) 21:10, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * You can add these information e.g. at the end the taming section. "Once tamed it will eat ..." or something like this. --Flachdachs (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
