Diet & Nutrients
Diet & Nutrients for the Isle
In the Isle there are three types of dinosaurs: Omnivore, Carnivore, and Herbivore. Each with their own diets, migration requirements, and needs. Food keeps your dinosaur alive, gives a growth boost, and a buff to various stats.
Diets change often when new things are added, taken away, or adjusted. If you see incorrect information please report it to the EQG discord.
Diet Icons
The symbols above are your primary diets. Each one corresponds with a set diet you must find across the map. The better your diet the better the stats you gain. Such as: Growth, Regeneration, Stamina, and Scent Range.
Tip: Your diet is also given to any hatchlings you feed!

Leaf - Herbivore food (non-primary diet) - Can lead to dropped food or flora

When you spawn in things to know about Diets
When you spawn in as a Juvi for the The Isle you will start with 100% Food/Stomach..
This will degrade overtime and depending on your species size may drain faster or slower. For instance: Hypsi's stomach will drain faster than a Stego's stomach.
You can only have 1 of each nutrient. The nutrient will remain at 0% (and grant no benefits) until you consume the required food for your species.
Your buffs per nutrient will change depending on the % you have in each nutrient. More of the Bar Diet (Lipids) means you will get better buffs related to Lipids.
More nutrients you have the better your growth rate is. Reaching up to 300%.

Going to any Salt Lick on the map and press TAB to open the character window. This will display a UI including the nutrients on the right hand side.
Select the nutrient you wish to deplete faster then go lick the Salt Rock.
Continue licking the salt rock until the Diet is at the point you want it or gone completely.
