Dilo gaurd dogs

[SammyTheBEAST]

Hello everyone,

I have a base in the canyon and I want to make sure anything that spawns or falls down there dies. I though of the idea of ~15-20 dilos running in packs of 2 mate boosted on aggressive. There is a few things wrong with this design because I would need put food every once in awhile on all the dilos and also I have no idea how to make dilos follow each other. Is there a better way of doing this or should I stick with this method.

Have one set on wander and the rest set on follow that one, set up a feeding trough.

We don't have a really good way to control wandering dinos at the moment. You can try fencing them in a little but this would make it hard for them to attack things.

If you're not overly attached to them, you can stock them up with food individually and set them to wander with a low range, but you may lose some this way and you can't really tell them to stay in groups.

Edit: can you set dinos to follow other dinos that aren't mountable? I'm not aware of how to do this.

He did mention that he was in a canyon. If he has it walled off, he could set them as aggressive and turn on wander. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to make a dilo follow another dilo.

This would work in theory. I have seen dilos miraculously get outside of walls. I've never seen it happen, but you set them to wander inside and then you come back and somehow they've breached the perimeter magically.

I just think at this point you're bound to lose a few dilos, but I fully expect more control over 'patrols' and guard-style dinos to come in the future.

you can leash to a passive mount . put that high health mount inside a small bunker so that in theory if the dilos get aggro they run back to the passive guy

But how are you setting the dilos to follow the passive dino? Is there a command I don't know about?

Edit: Duh. Another just lapse of brain power. If the dino they're following is mountable this would work.

Yep, we have a pair of guard carnosaurs who aggressively attacks anything that comes near their pet parasaur.

And no I don't think you can make a dilo follow a dilo. You can only make animals follow mounted animals.

mount the dino you set to passive. then hold t which will bring up the whistle wheel. highlight follow all

while mounted look at the dino you want to foolow and press T, when you get off the mount the dinos follow the mount not you.

Yeah I edited my post after I realized what I said.
Unfortunately for OP this won't work with just dilos though.

Spino vs Dilo is not a fair fight currently. I watched 4 wild dilos take out a wild spino a while back. It just couldn't hit them.

Add in the tame dino advantage and 10 dilos will just steam roll any wild critter.

Best way to do it is fence the area in (if it's not already), set them to "wander", leave victim collection enabled (this will solve your feeding problem without needing to build a feeding trough as they will collect whatever they kill), and set their agression level to agressive.

Had a decent handful of high lvl dilos, 100 plus, guarding my base when offline raided by the mega tribe on our server. Every single attacker died at least once, a rex and two cats and a argent. They managed to use a second bird to drop them in the ocean. We had Two large boxes full of implants before we were raided, all victims of our dilos.

Pretty sure the victim item collections refers to items in the victims inventory, not the meat you harvest off of them. They will eat the Dino's they kill as long as they are not set to follow.

They do get all the meat and hide but I didnt know if they did when they just kill it themselfs
