Will dinosaurs interact with the new Natural Scenery Items?

[Pixelated Sparkster]

I was thinking of this when I read: "One of the new trees is wide and low, perfect shade for dinosaurs to shelter under" in the first feature focus.

Does this mean we could have dinosaurs interacting with the objects, that the dinosaurs will seek out these trees to sleep under when they have the chance? And if so, could we expect more interactions? Like small carnivores climbing on the rocks or sauropods to stand on their hind legs to eat from the new trees.

The new scenery items won't change your dinosaurs behaviour.

Does this mean the dinosaurs will phase through the new rock props we're getting, just like the trees that just simply ignore? Or do they avoid these rocks by walking around them?

Thanks for clarifying Paul!

@LordTrilobite, I don't think they would phase through the rocks and trees. I recall that placing these items would be like placing buildings, and dinosaurs would not phase through built objects like buildings and substations.

I really hope for that

please some dev can confirm this?

The scenery items work like buildings in that dinosaurs will know they are there and walk around them.

Is it possible to place the scenery in the water and on cliffs?

You can place natural scenery items in water.

very interesting...

Is it similar to placing shrubs and trees? Since we can place those in water as well. Or is it more like placing a building?
