So I've been thinking. The ways dinosaurs interact seems a bit off. They need a correct size social group or they start getting stroppy with the bashing of fences and trampling/nomming of visitors. And they sometimes stand in a circle socialising or fight one on one. But it feels like they dont do much as group.
Raptors would hunt in packs, working together to bring down prey. Herds of herbivores like triceratops and stegosaurus would react defensively to attacks. And I find the way that smaller faster ones like gallimimus just kind of stand there giving when a t rex decides to have a snack instead of trying to run away. Forming a ring to protect weaker members of the pack. I'd love to see these Interactions brought to life.
Obvs it would be difficult to code, not that I know much about that. But it would certainly be interesting and a little more realistic. For example pack hunters like Raptors, or deinonychus could work together to try and flank ranger vehicles as a team rather than one just running at it every so often (clever girl) And herds could defensively ring to keep rangers away. And would make some good photo ops.
Plus it could make keeping carnivores and herbivores together a little more workable, if large herbivore herds had a certain chance of fending off or escaping a predator based on the size of the social group and ratings/stats of the dinos involved. would make for more varied enclosures and a better experience instead of all these one on one interactions where other dinos just stand and watch.
