Expanded Dinosaur Behaviour

Overview

The mod expands the dinosaur behaviours and fixes existing behaviours to make dinosaurs more diverse and less stilted, and improve gameplay. This is done by both adding much more depth and variety to existing mechanics, and adding some all-new mechanics to the game.

So far, the mod overhauls:

• []Tranquilisation: Lying down (instead of ragdolling). Waking up when shot with medicine.

  []Movement: Heavy dinosaurs not running everywhere (unless they really need to).

  []Diets: Omnivores (vanilla and modded dinosaurs).

  []Herding: More types of Dominance Displays, and below max social.

  []Stress: A whole new system for Peaceful dinosaurs dealing with stress without actively hunting fences and people.

  []Intelligence: Fence-testing from Velociraptors and the movie hybrids.

  []Biome Adaptations: Custom Semi-Arid and Arid type water-need changes.

  With much more already in-development for future releases.

  A lot of these are demonstrated in videos at the bottom of the mod page.

  The mod affects both vanilla and modded dinosaurs. To help you see which modded dinosaurs are affected:

  • []Vanilla Dinosaurs are listed in blue.

    []Modded Dinosaurs are listed in yellow.

    Modders Resource

    The mod script includes an interface which allows other modders to add these features to their new-species dinosaurs. A setup demo with instructions is included in the Optional Files.

    Installation

    Better Tranquilisation

    • []Dinosaurs will lay down and sleep when tranquilised.

    • Medicine darts wake tranquilised dinosaurs. They will wake up a few seconds after being shot - the exact waking time is based on their weight.

      Better Dinosaur Movement

      Vanilla: All dinosaurs sprint towards food and water, and randomly when roaming around. This looks stilted and is complete
