So, About the Mating Animations

[PsyWarVeteran]

Some of you may know that there are a few quite hilarious animations of a few dinos "getting sweaty" that is currently unused, wouldn't adding them to the game be a good idea?

Now, I am not asking the feature to be included to jerk my ♥♥♥♥ to giant lizards having sex like a weirdo, I am just saying a new system where you somehow get two creatures to like each other and mate is a better alternative than shoving two animals into a small area and hope that they don't move to reset the mating meter.

What do you guys think?

Shoulda/Coulda.... but sadly... maybe in Ark 2?

no pen just turn on mate...Personally I have no need to watch pixils doing the perv dance..

The videos with those animations on youtube required a fair bit of positioning and setup. Only the animations exist... Not the AI to manoeuvre into the right position.

Pathing is a mess as it is let alone getting them to move into the right position to begin the animation.

I think it needs to happen..

For the realism aspect...

Just use your imagination with the mating icon. After all if you want to go down this inane rabbit hole you'd probably want there to be "realistic" body parts for these activities as well and its not gonna happen.
