Nests,interactables & other thoughts

Post by powertempest » Thu Sep 17, 2015 7:10 am

this might already be planed for the breeding system but on the off chance it is not
would like to see dino nests/ houses
dino nests could act as a gather point for a type of dino so when there attacked they go back to around there nest when they chase off/kill what ever attacked them, also leaving there eggs inside and dropoff point for the materials they auto gather. (that is if you dont have another object/building in mind as a dropoff point for auto gathered materials)

same for wild dinos would make finding some of them easier just find the nest and they would show up at some point like a place for them to return to at night ect. could even make migration a thing by having them move between sets of nests

this could be implemented as a designated area kinda like a foundation then a type of dino like a dodo would claim it or we can pick from closest 5? dinos without a nest. then there nest type would be built on it.

have smaller dinos like dilo , sleep in them and larger dinos like trike sleep around the nest.

examples for the animals that could use houses are the sabertooth/megaloceros the cat could cave type doghouse kinda thing they could use and the deer having a leanto. the snail and beetle could have pens that change visualy to reflect whats being kept in them

also would really like to see a dimorphodon perch like a tree with lots of limbs for them to sit on and fly around and a similar playtree for Mesopithecus to interact with, compy pit ?

basically animals interacting with there environment and other animals to add a bit of life to them rather then just the basic target not my species must kill example of sort that kinda ingame but not intended is how dilo looks up and follows dragonflys till they get in range then chomp but before then it makes them seem Curious and less of a mindless killing critter.

adding more then 1 attachment to weps or combining attachments (this is probably a mod or already listed)

Side note i was under the impression that the plesiosaur could come on land a bit, its a pain to get them into the some of the inner waterways.

This is a very interesting idea if they haven't thought of this yet. I do know there's a dossier for a new dino that steals eggs. That kind of dino would snatch up eggs from nests, so I wouldn't want to see that dino without the addition of nests. Great post!
