  • The huge Pangaea map is once again getting worked on and is being tested. Its playable, but not in a completed state. (Missing vegetation and decorations such as boulders and rocks)

  • Removed the territory restrictions on spawning dinosaurs. This means you'll see more species and larger creatures.

  • Removed the internal common, uncommon, and rare creature spawning code, this means you'll see more species variety now.

  • Wild coelophysis, deinosuchus, deinonychus, deinocheirus, megalania, gigantoraptor, and yangchuanosaurus are now spawning.

  • You no longer grow from eating if your growth rate is 0.

  • You longer gain growth from tasks if your growth rate is 0.

  • Hatchlings can now grow regardless of their current diet ranking.

  • Made some adjustments to growth rate requirements for the different growth stages.
