Herbivorous dinosaurs should be able to eat trees, bushes and plants on the ground.
This would be more realistic and could represent a little additional challenge for the players, because by eating the vegetation, the herbivores would destroy the bushes and trees and thus modify the amount of vegetation in their enclosures which would therefore become incomforable for them.
Example: a brachiosaurus (who therefore needs a lot of trees in his enclosure to feel good) eats all the trees in his enclosure, the player is therefore obliged to manually put the forest back in the enclosure to prevent the Brachiosaurus try to destroy the fence to get out.
The same system could be applied to small and medium-sized herbivores with bushes and plants on the ground. Ceratopciens, Stegos, hadrosaurs, Ornithomimids and others could eat the plants on the ground and the bushes and need them in their pens to feel good in their pens. and if they eat everything, they will try to go out.
In this case, the "grazing" animation could be used more correctly, precisely when the animals eat the bushes and the plants.
Overall, the herbivores could also eat in the feeders if they are very close at times when they are hungry. but if they are far away and the nearest food source is the trees or the bushes, the herbivores will eat the latter and will not bother to travel to the feeders.
but there would obviously be a solution to this problem, THE LYSINE SOLUTION.
As Ray Arnold explains in the film, a gene is introduced into the genetic code of dinosaurs to prevent them from synthesizing lysine and digesting plants and trees. Because of this gene (unlockable in the research center) , dinosaurs will no longer be able to eat the vegetation in their enclosures and will be forced to eat in the feeders (as currently in the game).
This system is interesting because it makes the gamplay a little more complex and is also accurate to the movies.
PS:
Dissemination of seeds by defecation :
Dinosaurs having eaten plants and trees, poop and spread the seeds of plants and trees they have eaten all over the map, the excrement slowly turns into a tree or a bush.
this system could be interesting because firstly it adds more realism, and secondly it simulates a dynamic ecosystem.
