Your Feature Request / Idea
The latest Pokemon games have included "Pokemon Refresh", a mini game in which you can pet, groom, and feed your Pokemon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO49GOeftW8
I think it would be awesome to have a minigame/interactions for feeding dinosaurs up close (tossing foliage/meat to them) to increase something like a Dinosaur Tameness meter that also increases their star rating. Both for a chance to interact with the dinosaurs up close, and to add a simple mechanic like the more tame dinosaurs following Ranger Jeeps around, which would be cool on its own, but also useful for taking dinosaur photos. At the moment, you can build and manage this amazing dinosaur park, and you can get in a jeep and go see the dinosaurs, but then what - there's nothing to give individual dinosaurs personality.
Say you spend a lot of time feeding/handling a particular dino - when the ranger enters the paddock, it comes running.
Interactions could include
* Hand-feeding/feeding from close range
* Medicating
* Washing down muddy dinosaurs
* Grooming/brushing
* Chasing - have the speedy dinosaurs enjoy chasing the jeeps to receive their hand-feeding
The minigames could be based around a new enclosure structure - Care Station, essentially a small pen where an individual dino can enter to be pampered. Tame dinos might even put themselves in the pen, inviting rangers to come in and fuss over them.
Hey, if cows can enjoy self-massage machines, perhaps the big dinosaurs could, even if they sometimes damage the machines so that the rangers have to repair them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_2ARHM8AbA
