We could use a new sandbox option and maybe some small changes

So I like the beauty of this game, whether it's the behavior or the environments you can create. But perhaps you may want to make an ecosystem. Is it entirely possible at the moment to do that? Nope. But here's my list of what I think should be added.
• A sandbox option to choose whether herbivores and/or carnivores should starve (something that JWE2 has.)
• Make it so that carnivores only eat when they need to. I'm not convinced that some wolves would kill everything in the wild.
• Add a tree brush. Sometimes I wish that we could make environments faster.
• Eggz (some animals do lay eggs in the wild, so why add eggs.

That's all I want

If a tree brush was not doable..... Maybe it would work when selecting any tree, to be able to enter a number of how many will be placed with each click. These could all appear near each other and at slightly different height/rotation. Or select a tree type and it will place the large, medium and small version each time you click but again close to each other.

Some great ideas but these are my favorites. Especially the second. Most animals do not kill for the sake of killing. They kill because they're hungry or are getting food for their social unit. Herbivores that are around carnivores that are not hungry should be fine. I'm thinking "gathering food for the social unit" may be difficult to do in terms of coding, so we'll just go with the hunger.

I love the foliage brush idea, and this isn't the first time I've seen it! This would be a great addition and it's one that shouldn't be limited to sandbox.

As for eggs... It could be a fun idea but I'm not sure it would add much to the game given where things stand. And FWIW, given that they added fake eggs to the game quite a few updates back I'm not sure they have intentions of ever doing so. Maybe in a sequel, though? Haha.
