Is this cool? It's just a NPC right? Trying to decide if it's worth crafting? It costs a lot of specimens!

I was wondering the same about the baby t-rex... don't know if it's worth trying to excavate 24 gems for an NPC when I could save my shovels for Act 2

Yes Homer Lizard not Homer Dinosaur. The Lizard is quite small and a NPC.When tapped makes a swollow sound after catching a fly (I think it's a fly) with its tongue.Nothing to be excited about.

And there's still nearly a week left in the act. The NPC baby t-rex isn't super exciting (to me) but why wouldn't you go for it? If you're earning about 29 shovels a day then you're going to hit the 199 shovel limit before Act One is over. And I'm guessing you're earning way more than that. You have the shovels to spare for the T-rex.

Thanks for the reality check ;) To be fair I've got three days coming up where i'm not going to have much time to get on the game, so didn't want to try for it and fall short and then regret wasting the shovels I could've used for a head start on Act 2, as it will end up in my storage with every other NPC I have gained over time... As you point out though, 7 days left, currently got 34 shovels with 10 to come in half an hour or so... i'll see what I've accrued by Friday when I have more time to play again..

Not sure if its worth getting. I might pass on it but not sure yet.

Awhile back I suggested that EA/TO offer some sort of NPC farm. It would be a decent size and then you could pick 10 or 20 or ? NPCs and they would roam around only inside the farm fencing area. Maybe it would be like the excavation site where you could tap on it for a centered zoomed in view (and the do some sort of special interaction). In any case, the NPCs would sort of be in storage in the sense that they wouldn't wander all over town.

I don't understand the hate. Do they annoy you so much that you can't have them out? I feel like I don't even notice most of mine, but I do like the extra activity in my town.

They get in the way when you want to tap something else.

That makes sense. I haven't really had that issue.

I like NPC's. They're like walking decorations.

This... haha.. my town is still only small so they do kinda stand out and get in the way, I dunno really, I think that once I've seen the animations fifty times or so I'd rather not see them again..

@daved7637397 I'm glad it's not just me then, must be a Dave thing :lol:

I haven't had any trouble getting around my NPC's, that stupid flying plane on the other hand, makes me nuts.
I did get homer lizard before we knew it's actual size. Or at least before I did. He's cute, but I play on a relatively good sized tablet. I think on a phone it would make me loony.

I just wish EA would let you place NPC's where you want and they stayed on that road or within so many blocks. I bought a skeleton for the Halloween thing....he never went in the Halloween area. After that I had mass NPC storage. If lizard homer stayed in my dinosaur area I would leave him, but he will not. Definitely not being giant screamopillar waste of donuts. Lol
