(Question For Dev) Data Values?

Hey Just Us, got a quick question.
I was wondering if there is a way i can see the in game values for different things, like how much "heath" the sharks, seagulls or survivors have or how much the armor protects from damage etc. etc.

While i could just send the lots of time experimenting with it, it would save me alot of time if i were able to get these values without hours of work. It would let me work on a lot more pages and save time. If you cant (for whatever reason) i understand, just seeing if this is a possibility.

Thanks for your supporting this game!

Actually, it is shame that many such values have not been changed to data-driven pattern currently, i.e. they are hard-coded.

We'ill do it later, keep ease.

Maybe you could just leave values unimportant blank, and, fill it when we make these values visible or editable somehow, if you want.:D

Ok will do. ill also probably color them differently so that they stand out. Ill also add a new list on the wiki post of pages with values that need to be filled out. The sooner you can do that, the better. It would allow for people who have experience with code to (possibly) work on mods, or try and do bug fixes for you to save you time. Lots of indie games do this, and it works well. 

Another Question,
Out of the pages that i make do you prefer the style with the food page (having all the info in one place) or the resources pages (having all the data spread out on different, more specific pages)? I'm not sure which one to do, so i want your option on it

I'd prefer the former, personally. :D

Cause the mechanism now is still much simple.

Ok, ill get all of my resources pages and get the info from them. Ill still keep the pages (for when there is to much on the main pages). Thanks for your help! 

Edit:
I'll do both. I will keep the other pages, but put all of the info into separate pages and "main" pages. Best of both worlds
