Hey, I wasn't expecting to like. Feel called out or get upset over an NPC that's losing his motivation to do wooden sculptures because he's overworked and everyone commissions him to the point he has no time to make art for himself like he used to. Like, bud. Don't give up please you're my favorite NPC and if you actually give up on art I will die.

I have been playing -a lot- of Paleo Pines lately.

🌲Meet Marlo!🌲 Marlo is Paleo Pine’s most skilled woodworker and carpenter. He'll construct any structures and upgrades on your ranch. He's a man of few words, preferring to get absorbed into his work than chatting. Despite his initial shyness and lack of conversation, you soon learn his true passion is creating nature inspired sculptures from old wood. His sculptures are beautifully intricate and elegant, but will his apprehension over his skills stop him from sharing his art with the world? 🍂 His Iguanodon partner, Poco is unusually clingy for an Iguanodon and will even get nervous if not given enough attention or is by himself for too long. He also has the tendency to loudly honk when upset or bored, to Marlo’s dismay. 🔹Steam Wishlist🔹 🔹Join our Discord🔹

Marlo Appreciation 🙏

[paleopinesofficial]

If it's not too odd of a question to ask, as an artist who has quickly come to ADORE paleo pines, since you guys didnt have the means to make more diverse character models in game what do you think theyd look like if you did?

Like, for example in my mind Freya is probably more well built and Marlo more heavy set. Stuff like that. I'm curious of how yall imagine their body types?

Hello!! I asked our lead artist, Abigail about this! This is what she said;

Over the course of Paleo Pines, we had limitations from the initial character concepts and models as they were rigged and animated. I've always thought more body representation would be amazing for player choice as well, we just haven't had enough time during development. We also have to keep in mind that Paleo Pines is quite simplistic in style so we would avoid more definition in design.

I would say that I personally think Granny Agami would be a lot stockier, some muscle but quite plump as she's so homely and I can imagine her cooking a lot. She definitely gives me hobbit vibes. I also feel like Freya would definitely be more built as a stone mason and both Owynn and Mari a lot slimmer, almost too focused on studies and adventure.

Would be very curious to know if the characters in Paleo Pines were romanceable, who would everyone pick? 👀

This has sparked some CONVERSATION amongst us. I will say, the main answers seem to be;

"Marlo. Because Marlo"

and

"Corlan. To find our what is going on"

We're ALSO open to your answers- who would you pick (if you could) and, as SFW as possible, why?

Paleo Pines Gameplay FAQs

WARNING: Spoilers under the cut

Will (X) dino/animal be added to Paleo Pines? We would LOVE to add more dinosaurs into Paleo Pines- in May 2024, we added Sarcosuchus! We just want to be able to do them justice, we'd love the opportunity!

How do I get more Poppin flavours? If you've only unlocked Crunchy, you can unlock the next one by either feeding a Styracosaurus a Crunchy or you can talk to Mari after completing the taming tutorial and entering/exiting the Plaza. After that, the next one comes after you enter Dapplewood for the first time and then Pippin will have a quest every day/few days or so.

Are there any future content plans for the game? There are no current plans for more content. At the moment, we're bug fixing but we will add some commonly requested features too! If the game does well, we'd LOVE to make more!

Making money is hard, what are some good ways to do so? Doing quests from the town board is a good way to make money if you don't need the rewards!

Later on, growing higher star crops can sell for a lot and can become consistent - especially berry bushes/trees as they don't require watering/constant care!

How do I get turnips? Sometimes they can be rewards from quests, but Granny will sell the seeds if your friendship is high enough.

How do I get strawberries? Corlan can sell them and Granny will sell the seeds if your friendship is high enough.

How do I get forest wood? In Dapplewood; - Regular wood logs: - Path near stegos - Woods near treeceratops - Area around Agami's

Forest wood logs: - Theri area - Anky area - Troodon pond when drained - Log at the megalo area

Single forest wood: - Centro area - Stego area - Back of Deinocheirus area - Near treeceratops - Megalo area - Troodon pond (drained)

Can I cancel quests/requests? For now, no.

Can I cut down trees on my ranch? Marlo is the only person who can cut down mature trees (since they're important to the people of Paleo Pines) but we never quite managed to get that into the game. It's on our big list of would-be-nice-to-add features.

How do I blur distant objects/make text larger/add high contrasting text/adjust field of view? These are all available in the settings menu!

How do I split stacks? Look in the help menu- there are a lot of tips on sprinting/stack splitting and other control-specific instructions! (For example, on Xbox hold RT and press Aand the stack will split, hold RT and the 'up' on the dpad will bring across one thing at a time)

What do small dinos do? Our small dinos are tenders and discoverers!

For their discovery abilities, simply use your flute to ask them to follow you and go out in the wild- they will find wild collectables and signal to you that they've found something! (Plus all dinos love going for walks)

Tender abilities are unlockable by talking to a special NPC (Avery) in Pebble Plaza in Jurassos! Once you do quests for him, he'll give you some tools to help your smaller friends farm!

How do you get a sleeping patch to make a dreamstone? It's the other way around - sleeping patches are made by upgrading dreamstones, which you find hidden around the wilds. Marlo has an option to downgrade a sleeping patch back into a dreamstone in case you change your mind about which type you wanted, but most players won't need to use that.

How do I get a dino to trust me enough to be a helper? There are multiple ways to raise the happiness of a dino enough so they'll be a helper. It will take a few days before it is enough.

Make sure to feed the dino a treat they like Feed the dino their favourite poppin Take the dino on a walk to the zone they came from Pet their nose, Play their friend song, Keep their pen clean, Make sure their pen is the biome it likes, Try to match their social type- Make sure the dino has enough penmates (different kinds of dinos can share a pen as long as they like the same food!) Make sure they have enough food!

Remember: Some Dinos can take a while to become your helper- as long as you're consistent and checking on them, you'll be on the right track! But not all dinos will become helpers in 2-3 days! How do I change the biome of a pen? Either by changing 2 dreamstones to a biome or by placing at least 3 of a decor type inside the pen!

How do I know what kind of Biome my dino wants? If you use your journal on them, usually it will say what kind they want!

How do I take my dino for a walk? Yoohoo the dino with your flute, then ask it to follow you and then walk to wherever you want to go! You can have three dinosaurs follow you at any one time (or 4 if you count one as your steed).

What does social type mean? It's the amount of Dinos in one pen. Loner type dinos only want to be by themselves. Pack dinos like to be in a pen with 2 to 3 other dinos. Herd dinos want lots of friends, preferably 3+!

I have lots of herd dinos in a pen but it says the pen is too small! You can check the journal for a dinos minimum preferred space, each dino wants that amount of space so if you have 3 dinos who want 20 minimum space, then your pen should be 60 minimum. You can open your journal by the gate to see how big your pen is!

What kind of Poppin/Treat does X dino like? Check out paleo.gg! It looks great and has a lot of information on each dino, including their favourite flavours of treat/Poppin!

How many dreamstones are there? There are enough dreamstones for one of each of every dino plus a handful more- in exact, there will be 47 Dreamstones. You can swap large dreamstones for small dreamstones (and vice versa) from Archeo Pelago in Ariacotta Canyon

Where are the tablet fragments?

A map of all the fragments can be found on our discord.

What's the last Veridian Dino?

It is a Parasaurolophus

'I can't find Owynn's missing pages'

There is one in the bushes near the rope bridge

There is one on the hill where Owynn and Mari’s fight happened

For the third, you have to befriend a coelophysis and bring your new friend to Mari!

[paleopinesofficial]

Have you guys looked into allowing us to remove and move the trees on our ranch? The permanent placements make planning out the ranch really difficult, and there are places I would love to have trees but can’t move or plant them there.

Maybe allow us to dig them up like normal fruit trees and replant them elsewhere? You can even add pine cones as something they drop as a crunchy and earthy food for dinos if you want a more fruit tree-esque pine tree.

Also on the subject of trees, have you considered allowing us to have two or more of each fruit sapling? I would love my orchard to be symmetrical, but currently some trees can only be obtained once.

(I love this game BTW. These are just suggestions. Also the pride dinos fill my heart with rainbows and I am so happy they exist. If you guys are open to it at some point, would you be interested in adding other flag colors like the aromantic, intersex and aroace flag (the aroace flag is SO pretty)?)

Marlo is the only person who can cut down mature trees (since they're important to the people of Paleo Pines) but we never quite managed to get that into the game. It's on our big list of would-be-nice-to-add features.

As for allowing you to have more than one- I think that was a design choice (again, because trees are SO important to the people of Paleo Pines). Thank you so much for playing and for your suggestions- I've passed all feedback over to the team!

LOVE those colour suggestions- those are lovely suggestions if we're able to add a few more at some point!

[paleopinesofficial]

Will there ever be an update to romance any characters? (Marlo in specific)

We don't currently have any plans to make any characters romanceable in Paleo Pines! If this changes, we'll be sure to shout it from the rooftops! (We've definitely had people request this before!)

[paleopinesofficial]

Hello! First I want to say I love this game so much!! When I heard rumors of Paleo Pines 2 years ago, I’ve anticipated it since as a lifelong dinosaur lover. The designs are SO adorable, and shout out to whoever wrote Marlo’s and Pippin’s storylines, they hit close to home, thank you for including them. So question, is there a way to transfer a specific amount of an item from my Storage to my Pocket/Pack on the PS5? Thank you for your continued hard work on the game! I am thrilled with it. <3

Hey! Thank you so much for supporting us- so glad our townsfolk are resonating with you! <3

You can definitely split stacks! If you go into your help menu there should be specific instructions for splitting stacks (transferring half or a specific amount)!

[paleopinesofficial]

I'm absolutely hooked on Paleo Pines, I play for 3+ hrs a night and I'm already in my 3rd year lol

Couple quality of life changes I hope to see next update-ish

-Most of all I'm begging for a toggle run button my pinky hurts so much :/ No idea what the toggle walk is supposed to do, doesn't seem to do anything on PC but we definitely need a run toggle sooner rather than later.

-Being able to use middle mouse to move items 1 at a time from storage to inventory and vice versa, very obnoxious to need to divide a stack multiple times

-Some way to pin what I need to my screen for custom orders to Freya and Marlo. There's no way to look up what I need for a sofa other than going to see them, running back to the ranch, and then back to them again.

Also I don't know if its by design or a bug but some dinos don't make a noise/hearts when you dismount while others do?

Thanks for this amazing game!

Hello! Thank you so much for playing the game and enjoying it!

No idea what the toggle walk is supposed to do, doesn't seem to do anything on PC- if you toggle walk ON, pressing Ctrl will make you walk rather than sprint. ( if you press Caps Lock you will run/walk in whatever direction you are looking at without having to press any buttons. )

Being able to use middle mouse to move items 1 at a time from storage to inventory and vice versa, very obnoxious to need to divide a stack multiple times You can do this! If you press Ctrl you can use the middle mouse wheel to move one item at a time!

For the walk toggle, custom order detail and noise QoL suggestions, I've passed onto our team! Although steam has added a notes feature which could be useful for custom orders!
