IDEA: Revamp Cohabitation for Gigantoraptor and Suchomimus

[Metal_]

Hi there! I’ll get straight to the point:

Certain omnivores/carnivores should be able to comfortably cohabitate with herbivores as long as their meat/fish feeder requirement is met.

For example, Gigantoraptor cohabits comfortably with herbivores, but requires a meat feeder. So logically, if you take that meat feeder away, it should begin hunting small animals in its enclosure.

I think this should also apply to Suchomimus, since it is a piscivore and lacks the same aggressive reputation as inGen’s Baryonyx and Spinosaurus.

Why would a specialized piscivore with plenty of fish to eat suddenly start chasing herbivores? And why would herbivores be afraid of an animal that only eats fish?

The same logic I’m applying to Suchomimus could be applied to other future piscivores like Austroraptor.

Basically, certain piscivores/omnivores should be friendly with herbivores as long as their feeder requirement is met, but become predatory if they can’t get their protein from a feeder.

Agreed, this would make for more unique enclosures. Kind of crazy this isn't in the game already, you can just make them "Liked" species specifically too and solve the issue. This would only apply to unique relationships or you just create a category for "Omnivores" and "Piscivores" and add them as a "Liked" species if Frontier wants to keep things more consistently grouped.

I have no issues with Suchomimus' cohabitation preferences. To put the species with Baryonyx, filter out the individuals of both species that have aggressive trait.

When it comes to the new Gigantoraptor, I can only put it with Archaeornithomimus due to both being discovered in Iren Dabasu Formation. Nevertheless, ensure all the species' environmental needs are met.
