Shared Dinosaur Enclosures

I don't suppose anyone knows of, or has a list of all the Dinosaurs that actually get along with each other? I'd have thought most of the herbivore species would, especially if they're the same kind of Dinosaur (such as the Chungkingosaurus, Gigantspinosaurus & Huayangosaurus) but if there's just one of them in an enclosure with a bunch of other species, it'll wreck havoc on my walls, break through, and then terrorise guests. Likewise, the Torosaurus is a royal pain in the backside - alongside the Styracosaurus; these guy should surely get on well with the Triceratops?

On the other hand, I can place a few Velociraptors, Diplodocus and (a single) Majungasaurus in the same enclosure and they all play (moderately) nicely; there's a few confrontations, but none of them result in deaths or break-outs. Parasaurolophus are also a little tedious when playing with others, and I've noticed the Brachiosaurus aren't too fond of the Triceratops family. Haven't been able to find anything that can coexist with a Rex yet either, though I doubt I will in honestly.

But yeah, which Dinosaurs can happily stand each other?

A specific list for this would be very nice. Especially if it can come with an explanation why these dinos work well/bad with others.

There's no official list, not yet anyway.

Iv printed off the post for which dino's are unlocked on which island. From that list I'm making notes against each dino, for what Iv found they enjoy.

But atm it's trial & error, releasing a dino then straight away bringing up it's stats to find it's needs & react - some like to be in agroup of 3 or more, etc.

I have a paddock with Styracosaurus and Trikes and they get on perfectly well? Haven't had one problem with them... Styracosaurus are not very social though, but population wise, they have no problems with Trikes.

Herbivores are easy. They all have the social bar (how many of their own species they need around) and population bar (how many other dinosaurs they tolerate around them). Unless you exceed one of those bars, they will live happily together.

As for carnivores, I don't take my chances with multi-species enclosures. Though some big carnivores have higher population tolerance and you can put one pack of smaller carnivores with them, but that's about it. If you put another big carnivore, they will fight and if you put another pack of smaller ones, there, the two packs will also fight, so maximum number of carnivore species in one enclosure seems to be 2 and the maximum number of individuals is the pack size + one.

I think it's really a shame that the carnivores kill for fun. We would have much more freedom with our enclosures if the carnivores only attack herbies if they were hungry.

Quite a few herbies will break out if they dont have other dinos of the same type, regardless of other species present.

But you can mix small carnies with medium or big herbies. They will attack but, depending on the herbie, lose and sulk away. Adds some excitement. Will be experimenting more later.

I could probably add some Dilophos into my long-necks enclosure, true. Could be interesting. :)

Maybe this is where I was going wrong then; I was under the impression that I'd be able to get away with one species of Dino every now and then if they were surrounded by others of the same type.

Check the 'social' bar: if the beginning is red you need multiple at all times. :)

Flash525 It sounds to me like you're missing the "Social" attribute.

There are two attributes that govern the numbers you can/must have. You can see both of these in the stats when you select an animal:
"Social": determines the number of other animals of the same species you can have in the same enclosure. Note there's a min AND a max. It sounds like your Styracosaurus was g out because you had no other styros in the pen with her
"Population": determines the number of other animals of all species (including the same species) you can have in the enclosure with this animal. If I remember correctly, styros need at least one other styro but have a fairly small tolerance for total number of animals in the enclosure.

One of my herbivore enclosures has two each of Styracosaurs, Triceratops and Corythosaurus together, and they're quite happy. I thenk there may be some Edmontosaurs in there as well.

(side note: man this really feels so similar to figuring out the mix of fish you can get into an aquarium :p)

Bizarrely, my spinosaurus lived with maiasaurus I put in as food without eating it until the single maiasaurus got angry at been alone and escaped.

I then had her dropped in the T-Rex pen instead.

Like the other guys have said herbivores will coexist regardless (provided you don't go over the social and population bracket) whilst carnivores don't coexist, small carnivores will panic until they die of malnutrition when put with larger carnivores and large carnivores together will fight. It makes sense that it's like this tbh although some herbivore incompatibilities would be nice (like you see in the wild with hippos and elephants for example).

It just seems to boil down to dinosaur type.

Giant herbivores can’t be killed (unless sedated)
Armored herbivores can’t kill or be killed by small carnivores (one scripted flex)
Large carnivores can’t kill or be killed by small carnivores (small can panic)
The rest of the herbivores are just fodder for any carnivore

I just made an enclosure with 1 each of the 3 different armor herbivore types + 1 giant + 3 velociraptors. The herbivores basically don’t treat the velociraptors any differently than small herbivores, minus the flexing.

This is disappointing when I think back to JPOG from a million years ago.

I keep seeing people say this, yet every time I put raptors or deinonychus with my ceratosaurus or metri, the small ones get hunted down and eaten.

Metriacanthosaurus and Deinonychus get along fine. A lot of people will tell you that T. rex can coexist with other dinosaurs, but from my experience, that hasn't been true at all.

T-Rex co-exists fine with Raptors and Deinonychus packs. Every once in a while they face off for half a second, but haven't had any fights or deaths. Though, I did find out that tranquilizing a Deinonychus in the same pen as the T-Rex will cause the Rex to come kill the tranquilized dino, which I wrongly assumed was not a possible game mechanic (I assumed dinos were magically protected while tranquilized). I therefore assume that a large carnivore will eat small carnivores if they are tranquilized in the same pen. Interestingly, the same is not true for the opposite script, the Deinonychus' left the T-Rex alone when she was tranquilized in their pen...
