Dinosaurs General Gameplay Nesting Grounds, Natural Dinosaurs, Aging, and Size

The gameplay would be greater if Dinosaurs made nests wherever they feel comfortable to sleep and that's where they'll go when they take naps instead of napping on the ground because they look like they're dead. And wherever the herd/pack leader places its nest, the rest of the herd/pack places their nest near that nest.

As of Breeding, what if two dinosaurs of the same species could breed and lay their eggs on the nests. And to balance the game, other dinosaurs can run over it accidentally and break them and a dinosaur can only lay one egg at a time. The dinosaur that does hatch will have the same skin pattern as the mother, will have no genetic modification, and will be baby size. As that baby ages, it will grow in size.

Now gor the aging, what if the dinosaur size depended on its current age? I know what your thinking "Now that would mean all the dinosaurs released from the hatchery would be babies". To balance the game, depending on how long you leave the completely incubated dinosaur in the hatchery, like if you leave it in there for one minute (It depends on what frontier wants), then the dinosaur's size will be a fully grown dinosaur but will not affect the age. If you release it immediately then it would be a baby. As the baby ages, it will grow in size.
 
Great idea about nesting, had similar thoughts myself..... and also the breeding/aging but I doubt we'll see these until another version of the game. Unless a big surprise is in store!

Your idea is excellent!!!! :)

That's the best solution. It is not necessary to create new models for babies and juveniles. Just ultilize the same design of adults and reduce them. They come out of eggs equal to adults, very small and with time they grow until they become adults
 
New updated herding and mixed species herding (herbivores) and new pack hunting/coordinate attacks (carnivores)
New updated sleeping animation (long or longer periods of time)

We do not have hunting pack in the game, but this is subject to another thread, here we talk about the possibility of having dinosaur breeding in the game, what do you think of this idea?
