Dinosaurs Need: T.Rex social limit improved/Skins

[dinowolf]

Your Feature Request / Idea

Would be nice if we could house two t.rex's togther so we could have a pair, like in The Lost World. if the Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus can have two in a pen, no reason why the rex can't when it canonically should be the only one who can. Please, increase the social limit to two rexes.

Going along with that, the big carnivores that DO have more than one in a pen (carnotaurus, spinosaurus, giganotosaurus, baryonyx and hopefully soon rexes!) do NOT seem to have any social behaviors with each other. They need social interactions. Please add them.

Finally, skins. Movie skins for ALL animals but especially: rexes and raptors (maybe even the raptor quills, even if breeding is never a thing it would help add diversity if it was a skin option...raptors have gorgeous skins in all the movies and the ones in game....lackluster, hard to see and boring compared to the vivid and bright orange and black tiger raptors, the black and white striped/spotted female, the black and blue and cream males with the quills, the raptor squad from JW (delta, echo, charlie) and of course, Blue. I would pay for those skins, especially those Blue and the raptor squad!

Lastly, the carnivores still hunt too much....they dont need to hunt or feed until they are down in the red zone of their Hunger bar. Herbivores like the trikes, pachys, apatosaurus, dilpos, brachios, stegos, NEED to use their natural defenses (spikes, horns, domes and whip tails).

PS

Sorry one more thing...raptor pack hunting...needs to happen...asap. when one animal begins to get hungry, it signals the others they all work together to take down the prey and for the love of PETE please please please have the carnivores eat ALL of their kills....not just a few bites and walk away and then we gotta pick up a dozen corpses... thanks!!

I think the reason why we can have two spinos is they dont have a high rating like the rex or the indominus even with fully upgraded genes. to compensate for that u can have two spinos so they have to lower the rating for the rex otherwise she would be op

The dinosaurs in the game are all female. There's never been a female pair of Rexes in the franchise, so it wouldn't really make sense... And you need to have dinosaurs marking territory and killing without being hungry in such a confined space. Would make zero sense to just throw a lot of carnivores together and expecting them to co-exist. You can't even do that with animals today.

It would be great if we could have at least 2 T.rex in the same fence without trying to kill each other. If the Spinosaurus tolerates another in the same enclosure, T.rex should as well.

The maximum number should be 2 T.Rexes. The only way it could ever be 3 is if the devs ever implement a genome that allows for procreation (in reference to how the dinos in the book and film used their frog genes to change genders in order to lay eggs). Interestingly, you have the option to make dinosaurs male or female in the original Zoo Tycoon.

Actually, the novel park had two Rexes: and adult and a younger one, and they both lived in the same paddock. Still, they kept separated most of the time, the younger fleeing from the adult until an specific moment when she chooses to defy her to claim a prey.

And this is why I think the whole population system should be subject to the space available and, in case of carnivores specifically, solved via territorial behaviour. But, alas, we have not even basic AI
