Cleaning those paddocks

so um... yeah i don't think this has been touched on yet but these are animals after all. And they at some point are going to need to um... let nature take it's course so to speak. And I kinda don't wanna say I really want to see that in the game because I don't wanna come across as the person you don't wanna invite to the party but...

The ranger Jeep has a tailbar ready to attach a small trailer. It's gotta be someones duty to deal with the doody

along with the obvious one big pile as Malcolm so eloquently put it I think it'd also be quite fun if animal carcasses remained in the paddock as well. Some carnivores clearly aren't gonna leave anything behind but some may not finish the entire meal. Tranq them and send the rangers in to remove the remains?

Same goes for when a dino dies of any other causes. I don't really want the leftovers to just disappear magically, I wanna have to send a team in to clean up

Dinosaur remains staying in the enclosure is a confirmed feature. They mention it in multiple gameplay videos I believe. You need to send your transport team to pick it up and get rid of it.

This will definitely be a job I leave up to AI. All I want to do is chase them around in a jeep or helicopter and shoot at them with the dart gun or take pictures.

Cleaning up the Dino dung just seems way to monotonous to me.

But it should be part of the game. We need poop, blood and gore in the game. lol

That's cool. I didn't see that yet but I'll take your word for it. I'm wondering though if it wouldn't also be cool to leave one to rot there for some time (take out the other dinos of course...). I think it would be kinda cool to have a dinosaur skeleton there (remember TLW?).

that'd be pretty cool - however I imagine it'd be more likely that we could have scenery pieces for skeletons/fossils/remains similar to the spino from JW but also just like partial remains or all out laying skeletons. I really can't see how we won't have placeable dino skeletons of some description in a game like this

I think it’d be cool if little compies come out and clean up carcasses and even dinosaur waste, like in the original book.

honestly, if there's not a massive mound of dino poop at some point that when you finally find the mound Ian Malcolm comes on the VO with that line then I may need to refund my copy...

Do you know if the Carnivores when they kill another dinosaur eat it? Because in a video Ceratosaurus Killed a struithomimus and ran away, he did not eat it ...

Yeah I think this would be cool, really hope they have Compys in the game either way! Maybe there could be a dung beetle gene (or something like that?) if you go down the science path that could be inserted and would make them do this better and make for more natural park..... rather than having your ranger team do the cleaning up

Maybe they will let us clone some kind of prehistoric dung beetle. But I think that's way too much dung even for them.

Regarding using compys to clean up scrap, I just hope that herding behavior AI is improved. I wouldn't want 12 compys all scattered about a giant paddock in 1s and 2s not touching anything haha.

They have raptors hunting together in one of the trailer vids from a couple of months ago so I can't see how they couldn't build in more simple herding behaviour, I guess it really depends on whether they feel including Compys are a priority right now?

True. I wish they had started people with a few dinos off the bat so we could see herding behavior better, starting from scratch really limited impressions of how well they interacted. Pre-made trailers I always take with a grain of salt so I'm glad the raptors are shown together but I'm not especially buying into it one way or the other yet. That hesitancy is compounded by how dinosaur nemeses didn't seem to interact well, herbivores and carnivores seeming happy enough to be within eyeshot of each other without concern. Releasing an apex predator into a herbivore paddock should cause stampedes and instant mayhem. Heck, even people seemed slow to react. Don't even get me started on the goats! =) Anyway, all I'm saying is nemeses behavior should be more easily scripted -- avoid, run away, look agitated. I'm not a coder so I don't know. But it seems like coding for flocking together, maintaining proximity without stepping into each other, fluid dynamic movement, reacting together to a single or group stimuli... all that sounds harder. Hence the clunkiness of the former makes me worry about the latter.
