Herbivores improvements - natural feeding

[R.oliver]

Still thinking about natural reserves and more natural "logic" for the animals:

➡ it would be perfect if herbivorous dinosaurs had the option to graze on the vegetation of the biome they are in (paleobotanic requirement disabled)

that is, herbivorous dinosaurs can eat from the natural plants on the maps.
they may have their food needs met more gently by eating natural vegetation and a more efficient diet in paleobotany feeding. but having both options and survive with both!

Thanks!

If you put down the terrain grasses, that are specific to that dinosaur, they graze. It's the only option they have as there are no feeders for them.

This has been my biggest headache so far. I put down a forest that matches my biome, so palm trees for Isla Sorna, but herbivores won't eat from them. You have to put down other plants that take away from the biome so herbivores can eat.

I've also noticed issues where herbivores will be starving and/or thirsty but won't eat or drink even if they're in water or surrounded by food. It's a pain in the butt

Alternatively, eating paleo-plants increases their star / appeal rating like in the first game or increases their stamina faster. Or they could bring back herbivores feeders as an option.
