Which dinosaurs can be enclosed together

[ajheaton90]

Hey,

So, I've been finding it difficult to get a decent number of dinosaurs in the park, as I am finding especially for carnivores they won't live with another breed without killing each other, and herbivores some will and some just escape.

So I started trying to build separate enclosures, but trying to get an incubation lab, viewing platform, for each enclosure and enough room to make sure they are comfortable is really tough, so any tips on this would be really appreciated.

With certain Herbs it's not so much they won't live together it's more they have low population number tolerance. I.e The dracorex and Ankys are best put together 3 draco and 2 ankys in a pen on their own.

how about carnivores, can you think of any that will happily co-exist without ripping each other to shreds?

 

[cookiemonster52]

Yea, the Ankys have very low population tolerance. But most herbivores are cool with larger populations, with some of them preferring only a few of their own species but fine with a bunch of other species.

You can dump a Triceratops in your Raptor enclosure and they will get along just fine. I found this out when a Triceratops continuously broke my fences. I didn't know then that I could sell dinosaurs and so I dropped them in there hoping the raptors would get rid of the problem... they did in a strange way. The Triceratops seemed quite happy with his raptor pals and never broke out again

Large carnivores like the Rex don't mind small carnivores like Deinonychus. My Rex has lived with a large pack since the beginning and none of them have caused me any trouble. They will pretend to fight from time to time though.

I have had dilophosaurus in with ceratosaurus without them being killed, they square up every now and then but it looks like the dilo runs away before it gets attacked. At first they wouldn't drink so i put some water on the other side of the enclosure and they have benn fine since.

 

[Bobble2018]

I have had Ceratasaurus and raptors living quite happily in the same pens and most herbavores will live with another , its just the population total you have to watch out with herbavores

 

[cookiemonster52]

See, my Ceratosaurus relentlessly hunted my Dilophosaurs around the paddock, to the point where they couldn't take time to eat or drink so they were all panicking. Had to separate them. Everyone is happy now

It's a variety of factors you need to take into account.

-PADDOCK. SIZE. MATTERS. If you want a large number of dinosaurs, especially mixed, you need to give them a large paddock so they have room to wander and be away from others. All the dinosaurs have a "personal space aura" around them, if they can't get anyone else out of that aura for a bit it can stress them. This is especially important for housing small theropods with large theropods and large/armored herbivores,
-Remember that there's a Population and a Social meter. Population is the total number of dinsoaurs in the paddock, Social is how many of the same species. Even dinosaurs with low Social can have high Population, so they can coexist with other dinosaur species (example, Ankylosaurus has a Social of 3 or so, but a Population of 8, so you can have three Ankys and five other dinosaurs.
-If you want small theropods with large theropods or large/armored herbivores, space and structure placement is very important. Only have one of each large theropd in with them (I think you can have more than one herbivore, just remember space). Have feeders and watering holes on opposite sides of the paddock so the little guys and big guys can feed and drink by themselves. Try to get their Grassland and Forest needs as maxed as possible, which will be difficult or impossible with some combos.

I've built a fence with a lot breeding stations in Nublar, deactivated breaking out and diseases. Released two of each kind of herbivores into it and then two of each carnivore and waited who survived.

Funny result btw when i released all kind of carnivores at once. Can you guess which one survived ?

Spoiler

Both raptors...
Rex & Cerator struggled a bit in fighting the anklyos and triceras gave them the rest

From the 30 dinos unlocked after island three:

Raptor, Deinony & Dilo works with Chungki, Bronto, Diplo, Toro, Tricera, Ankylo, Huaya.
Bronto & Diplo never panic (although i think i've seen a raptor panicing from a Diplo). All the other herbivors rarely do panic (not sure on that yet but i think it only happens when they see them hunting goats) and the smaller ones (e.g. anklyo) sometimes start a fight but never actually engage in one.

Cerato & Rex works with Bronto, Diplo but both panic a lot.


So far it also seems to me that the icon in map mode determines what works and what not. All of the three small carnivores have the same symbol, cerato & rex have the same symbol as well as the "surviving" herbivores shared the same icons (and never a dino with an icon was killed while another with the same icon survived)

What i also noted after some tests on Isla Nublar (somehow i always thought until now that some of the herbivores wouldn't like each other) is that dinos have a line of sight not broken by a fence seperating carnivores from herbivores. So the herbs start to panic everytime they see the predators on the other side of the fence. Probably not the best idea having carnivores & herbivores enclosures nearby.

Awesome, thank you for this research. I’d just started experimenting with mixing dinos, so many deaths will now be prevented

 

[Rousseau]

Not many can be enclosed together because there only 2 size in carnivores small and big.

smalls: raptor, diplo, deion.

as for herbivores with carnivores, they cant be together since carnivores eat at 90% (idk if its a glitch) but its a massacre. Only giant herbivores can be mixed with carnivores.

That said, the mistake they did is to give Behaviours of apex carnivores like I.Rex, T.rex, Spino, Giga to other carnivores like ceratausorus. Ceratosaurus in JP3 got scared by the smell of spino dung, no way he would fight those giant carnivores. they simply dont have survival instinct. same for small herbivores.


I understand they fight to dominates each others but after once the smaller one like ceratosaurus should eascape and panic like small carnivores and on rare occasion they fight to death.

Note: this dont aply to big one like t.rex and spino. they chase each others out of their territories. as stated in JP3 when the jimmy said trex pee attract spino.


Not sure they will change it. its sad because they said we could see how dinosaurs would be in wilds and yet its not the case. it ruined my fun to make a wild park on isla sorna.

Yeah this some what helped with preventing all my carnivores killing all my herbivores though if a carnivore comes in contact with a herd of animals it will try to slaughter all of them
But in the defense of the carnivores, herbivores rarely try to flee very far

 

[DinoMaster9000]

Most carnivores can be placed with sauropods except Rexes w/ Diplodocus. The Rex will harass them until they starve.
Ornithomimids will be hunted to extinction whenever placed with any carnivore whether they are hungry or not.
Raptors can coexist w/ Ceratopsids and Ankylosaurs
If you have a live bait feeder or 2 Metriacanthosaurus can coexist with the large hadrosaurs with very few kills. Best with Edmont, Corthy, or Maia in my own experience.

 

[Wraithdt]

Recently released a Metriacanthosaurus into my Deinonychus paddock and they seem to be coexisting very well. The raptors give it a wide berth and its amusing watching them look on at the large carnivore at a distance while it gets first dibs at the feeder before moving in for their turn. The raptors are also smart to retreat from a confrontation with the large predator.

One the same island I also have a couple of Dilophosauruses in with my Sauropods and they don’t give any trouble. The small theropods regularly stick to the forested fringes of the enclosure while the large herbivores mainly hang out in the open spaces in the middle.

 

[Willwylie91]

I’ve found that raptors get along pretty well with the T. rex, not once have they squared up to each other. The raptors haven’t broken out once, since I’ve had them together which is very refreshing

Just curious, but how do you know, how Dinosaurs acted in the wild? Haha. Nobody knows, so everything is up for debate. And yes the Ceratosaurus got scared in JP3, but they lived in the wild. How do you know, that they wouldn't fight for their paddock territory?

 

[Emz1984]

You don't need an incubation lab on each enclosure it saves so much space to have a small enclosure with a lab attached and breed everything there then move the dinos to the pen you want them in

Trex and iRex

I was able to get both the Trex and iRex to stalemate for about an hour or so in the same enclosure with the right combination of gene mods. They both dropped to ~12% until they hugged it out and wandered off until they regenerated to ~35%. Trex ended up killing the iRex in the end tho.
