A Little Guide to Dinosaurs and keeping them happy

[Implicitlee]

Please copy and paste this into a text document so it lays it out properly.


Rating is the base rating before any Gene modifcations, social minimum/maxium is the amount of that specific dinosaur you need in a paddock to keep them happy, Forest/Grassland amount is the amount of trees and grass you need in that paddock to keep the dinosaurs happy and Population amount is the total number of dinosaurs in that paddock to keep them happy. There is no Population amount for Carnivores as they have to be kept seperate to prevent fighting.

High Population 36 Dinosaurs in a paddock
Medium Population 16 in a paddock

Thank you, this is very helpful.

the carnivore ratings are not correct.
Spino, sucho, giga and majunga can live with 2
Ceratosaurus can live with 3
Raptor 2-6
T-rex and indo want to remain alone

Don't know about the other 3 need to check later.

Disagree I spent hours testing this and any more than what I put on the carnavores and thier happiness goes down over time.

Then you tested wrong. I always put 3 ceratosaurus in one pen and they don't mind since their social upper limit is 3. They only start to fight when you put 4 or more into one pen. Raptors also can have 6. The numbers are definitely correct like he mentioned.

It's also like this in this list someone made from Reddit which is accurate: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1asbl4934A6JhpCrZvQzU3S8Qu1DTZSguCuLihiNzrFk/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0

[Inardesco]

Maybe put it in the guide section?!?!?!?!

Nice work, saves me finishing the list I was doing!

[Jynn]

i made this 3 days ago, it's similar for people wanting to know how much population / how many of each species for each dinosaur, as well as the terrain requirements and rating

You're completely right about the certorsaurus: I had 3 of them together on Sorna for pretty much the whole game, and they got along just fine.
