Diets and Sustenance

With Update#4 a new mechanic was introduced to Evrima: **The Diet System.**

*"It's time to stretch your legs, clamber out from beneath those bushes and explore a whole new environment filled with a wide array of exotic foliage and fauna. Compete for these new resources and gorge yourself on them to maximize your strength and secure a swift passage to adulthood with the all-new Diet System..."* - *Update 4 Patchnotes*

Each player now has 3 symbols: Fats, Protein and Carbs above their Food meter portraying their dietary needs. If all of them are met, the player receives various buffs.

Each dinosaur needs various foods in order to achieve different nutrients and consequently different buffs. The player can see what foods they need in-game using *Tab*. If you wish to see what diets go to a specific dinosaur, please see their personal page.

### Spiro

**Agave** - Found in the Center plains. They have blue-green thick spiky leaves; they stand out in the field.

* Eaten by: *Hypsilophodon*

**Coconut** - Stem from Coconut palms that can be discerned by lower hanging leaves around the stem. Herbivores will of course also get a scent indicator when they stand close to one. They only grown in coastal areas and the fruits can be accessed by ramming the stem. Pachys are the only animal that can do so. They also fall randomly over time.

* Eaten by: *Pachycephalosaurus*

**Horned** **Melon** - They grow in large patches on dry plains, they are not easy to spot due to their green color.

## Fauna (Carnivores) WIP

Most Fauna are passive and run if they spot a player approaching with the exception of the boar which will most likely fight back until it receives a certain threshold of damage.

### Coastal Regions:

Crab - Just like schooling fish they are abundant but for players that are less talented in fishing a easier to catch alternative.

Seaturtle - Found in coastal regions as well as beaches. They are quite easy prey due to their slow movement speed.

### Plains and Jungle:

Rabbit - Found in Plains and sometimes jungles. Rather difficult to spot due to their small size.

Chicken - Can be found in plains regions and Jungles.

Boar - Roams the Plains regions and Jungle.

Goat - Can be found in plains regions grazing.

Deer - Can be found in plains regions grazing as well as Jungles.

Frogs - Found close to water areas as well as swamps.
