i have a suggestion for custom baits, for servers that want some more customazation. Simply make generic baits where admins can specify crafting recipies (useful for dino mods), without changing vanilla baits and kibble trees. So we could have like generic bait 1- whatever. same for kibble and trophy. A good suggestion would be 3-5 generics for each. Theese baits can be disabled, recipies easily altered through ini files, and used for modded dinos mainly.

For example i use primal fear on my server and alot of the dinos have immersive taming disabled so we dont skip progression. Some require very specific taming foods. Like celestials need their kibble, if we could make baits that use the same crafting ingredients as their taming food it would allow immersive taming through combat or modded without skipping progression or completely reworking kibble trees and recipies so it does not effect taming vanilla creatures whatsoever.

So for a celestial rex for example i could make it a combat tame requiring generic trophy bait 1 which ive made to craft using the celestial kibble from the mod, fiber, sparkpowder, blood and some other item. Then once combat has been completed it can only be tamed with generic kibble bait 1 made with their kibble, sparkpowder and fiber.

I could also see this being used for vanilla dinos. Maybe you think gigas should have very specific dietary preferences but you dont want to change another kibble bait and adversly effect any other dino that eats that kibble, or change them all to accept some other kibble potentially upsetting balance, so you select them to be combat tamed with giga heart baits (of course) and then they only accept a generic kibble made from their hearts, trophies from several other dinos, mutton, prime and blood. Because the king of the ark has a right to be picky.

im sure you know best how to impliment this, but i feel like it could add to gameplay and allow better integration with other mods, or even just for vanilla with sprinkles players to make some dinos much harder to tame.
