What ''stance'' should I have my dino in?

[Kvltist]

I have a Doedicurus for base defense. What agression setting would be the best? if his agrressive will he try to atack players running by my base outside of the walls?

if he atacks my target will he still atack people who atack him? please fill me in

Neutral... and it might not hurt to have them on follow to something else that is passive so they are not lured away.

Will it arack intruders though?

No, neutral only attacks if they are attacked or one of their friends are attacked.

And the attack must take place close enough to them for them to agro. They will not come to the aid of a fellow tame (or you) if they are too far away.
How far?
Dunno. One of out bases has an inner wall 40 fence foundations wide. Dinos at the far wall will not help a dino at the other wall.

Edit: I stand corrected, as a tribe member just pointed out to me. It is 36 foundations wide, because 2 feeding troughs cover the whole courtyard. (it's called "planning ahead").

Essentially just have things stationed around the base that are the base that are passive, then have a set of dinos on that passive pet while set on neutral.

I know this will be conrtoversial, but I'd choose 'Attack My Target' over Neutral myself. The reason is that in my experience, Neutral dinos will only defend themselves from attack, and refuse to intervene if a fellow dino or player is threatened.

I know this conflicts with what a lot of people say about stances, but I can only speak from my own experience, and in that experience that's the way it works. I've had dinos set on neutral sit by passivley staring at me while I've been mauled to death by enemies. And I've had bodyguard dinos following me while I was mounted that payed precisely no heed when my mount was attacked while on neutral. Having them on attack my target, however, will always get them to defend allied players and dinos, regardless of whether the dino's owner is directly threatened or not.

All I can suggest is experiment and see what works for you.

And yes, to everyone else, I know this posy is probably not what you experience in your game...I've been told that many times already and I respect it. I don't know why my game differs to yours, but I can say for a certainty that differ it does.
