Phioma secondary ability
In the Phioma dossier, it says it's especially suited to scavenge plantlife and scoop up foilage. Should it be able to farm berries? Or maybe plant fiber?

Fiber would make it great, because now it's pretty useless compared to other dinos.

It's alright early on if you boost up it's stamina. It's not really fast, but it's not slow either.
It does need something to help it out, though. Maybe make it have a extra strong bite?
How's about the ability to gather the purple berries much easier? It's the rarest berry to get.

Having it get Mejoberries would still make it useless as there are enough dinosaurs that already get you those among tons of other berries.

Hrmm... Good point......
Just give it a really strong bite attack then.

Maybe make it a decent cheap mule, increasing weight limit? I dont like the bite power up, phioma is so cute, he doesnt suit combat :p

+1 for plant fiber

The Phimo-nose makes me think of pigs and i was thinking they could sniff the ground for things. If they find something they'll do a grunt or roar to let you know so you can dig up berries and maybe even low level junk items.

The OP has the idea already: if the Phiomia can gather fiber, that will make it very useful. No need for anything else.

Going from memory here... been a long week....

The proto elepant guy can find berries, and does a fair job of collecting mats from trees too.
Same pretty much as triceretops in that regard.
But, both are beaten hands down in berry collection by Stegasaurs, who is a lawn mowing
machine. For berries and it can knock down trees but it is mostly about berries.

However, as good as Stegosaurus is at that berry thing.
Brontosaurs is a nuke powered version. Like having a fleet of 10 Stegos mowing the
same section but the yeild rate is insane.

No idea how Mammoth fits in with all that. I expect about same as Triceretops, only
with a cool trunk and curved tusks and a awesome top hat.

Dont' have one yet.

i always feed wild carnos with these cute meaningless dinos :)

Mammoth is like a trike of steroids, much faster, way more stamina, a much bigger attach cone. This is combined with 450 or something similar weight and large dino feces. Imo mammoth is pretty comparable to the stego. Cant fit em through dino gates very easily though.

If it had increased chance of getting narco berries, i'd be getting it for sure. right now i can't be arsed :P
