Bloodied Snouts On Carnivores and Herbivores In Feeding and Combat

816 votes

Would be an immersive detail if dinosaurs had their snouts bloodied after eating from carcasses, picking up meat/fish, and after biting (herbivores and carnivores alike) other dinosaurs in combative situations.
Blood would then fade over time.

I like this idea a lot and I can see it working similarly to how a dinosaur being wet after swimming or being rained on works

an extra detail could be the blood fading after a dino takes a drink as well as over time

As a kid I always looked for dino documentaries where this happened :D and it actually was for immersion not the blood. When the snout gets bloody, I believe that the carcas, dinos made contact with injuries, unless it looks like wax dolls fighting and eating each other... at best.

We need this feature, I enjoy the little details which enrich the gameplay much more.
Would be cool if the bloody snout disappeared after drinking water or swimming, so the water would cleanse the blood. The Tyrannosaurus of Prehistoric Planet did exactly this, after having its snout bloody, it decided to clean it in the water.

I'm gonna make your suggestion even better: bloody snouts, horns and claws after combat. Basically any bodypart of the dino that hurts another dino!

Again, I want to say this would be amazing immersion wise. I also want to share what this could look like, I made an edited version of a few ingame screenshots: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lgC_1va4mnRkFORkjRmgWXbZSfjiX-fW/view?usp=sharing

Yes it would be more realistic for the Carnivores 🦴

it would be even better if the dead corpses decomposed over time, or when carnivores feed on them.
It is also necessary to implement a body drag system.

I’ve been saying this idea since the game released I completely agree with you it sucks that they have so many of the gameplay mechanics that we want on modded servers but the devs sometimes act like they don’t care about what we want on the official side of things

Just let us wipe our face afterwards if we so choose. Animals wash their faces.
The Isle's version is great and all but from a carnivore perspective I'm walking around with food on my face if I am not thirsty right then to rinse off or don't want to approach water unnecessarily.

I suppose I won't be too miffed if we have the Isle-like version that a few modded creatures already have. Just with the game's water quality system it might be better to not push unnessisary drinking.

P.S. yeah. Some modded creatures already have a very simple version of this so it's totally possible.
