Body Dragging System
Usually this would be for mostly Carnivores who wamna move their prey away from areas they know that might be hunting or populated areas
I think the dragging system should depend on the dinosaurs size and jaw force.
I think it should also run off stamina if the player drags off with it for way to long (5-6mins example)
This will greatly cause for more survival mechanics for the game and bringing in some realistic dinosaur behaviours.

I just made a suggestion exactly like this but without realizing someone already did it! It would feel so immersive if we had this as a mechanic, I feel like it should depend on the sizes of both the dino and the kill <3 -

BeyonderGod@Doke and chunks wont mean much when it fills a specific amount, and then having to be facing other Predators when the time comes would make you lose your marks and etc so again this is something realistic to their behaviour.

xXalastorXxThis would be really cool. Like, let’s a an adult allosaurus can drag adolescent ceras and alios, adult megalania, I think this would be amazing!

Metra789This would be amazing for water creatures, especially Sarcos. Sometimes you killed something a little too far from your pond, being able to drag in back near safety would be great.

TAFShould go a step further and let Sarcos/Spinos have a latch abilitly when they strike under the water to pull the prey(alive) under to start attacking.

BrolyWould be a really cool feature with nests! Dragging some food to the baby hatchlings

DinoSpinoI'd say add this, many predatory creatures would fill up, and bring it to their den/home/whatever to save for later, and it might be better than just sitting with a corpse randomly in the open instead of being able to drag it somewhere, hide it, do whatev, come back and eat. And it also gives a chance for more carnivores, like scavengers, to be able to look for them and find it which is on the player that hid it.

Mini_frisehello! (no offense) but dont you think body dragging shouldnt be added? its a survival game, surviving is the real point of the game. body dragging i think is too much. maybe grabbing a piece of meat is better? it is already installed.

HotPeanutI think it's up to the size of dino to drag faster and slower stamina drain but for the smaller dino its useless if your dragging big corps and the only option for smaller dino's is to pick up meat chunks

YeshuaMyLordWe need this to make a better experience for the carnivores, would be amazing overall.

Caboose187Would also be greatly used if included with a grabbing bite feature so sarcos can drag their prey into the water to drown.

Chupacabra@viper i think that needs to be added to they have it in other dino games ive played where the crocs can even grab smaller players and drown them which was always fun and realistic.

fishyThis would also be awesome for people playing as sarcosuchus if they could grab players as well and bring them into the water, maybe a weight/size limit for who you can drag?

ReefusDeefusThis is an amazing idea, I think this should definitely be added since it would add more of a realism and survival aspect, and I see a lot of people saying chunks would be obsolete, but they would definitely still be useful but more for scavengers and juveniles.

AizenIf they do this they better fix the body’s because I swear the body’s are still alive after dying the move

KooffieSome people might say that this function doesn't make sense considering you can go and take pieces of meat, but think with me. Imagine that you have a "family" that is far from the creature/player you just killed. So instead of risking everyone's lives with them having to come to you, it's much easier for you to be able to carry the entire carcass to them.The same goes for anyone wanting to feed more safely, taking the carcass from the middle of perhaps an open field to a safer location, feeding until completely full without having to go back and forth to pick up pieces of meat.

Cannon FodderI mean, I don’t think that this would just be a cool feature to add, I think it’s a necessary one. Roblox mobile games have this system implemented and PoT doesn’t. It would also add more survival aspects to the game and I don’t thing it would be too hard to implement into the game.

potatoHERODoesn't seem like an actual need since you can just take meat chunks. Maybe increase the chunk size?
And for herbis, probably add more food sources. Just a tree could work, especially if we could take branches off and carry it for later just as we do with meat chunks. -

MBtoothI absolutely love this feature, it would add so much if it was added into the game! Another thing that could work is if larger carnivores were carrying/dragging smaller creatures they could get an option to swallow them and regain a large amount of hunger.

DarkDiamond0756And if you're a flyer, and the body is light enough, you should be able to hold it and fly away with it too, mainly on hatz. For SUPER tiny bodies, thal could do it too. Rhamph probably not.
-

DarkDiamond0756It would be so cool to just grab a body and fly away with it if you're a flyer like hatz so you can eat it in peace. Thal should be able to do the same with smaller bodies, and rhamph....eh, no it shouldn't at all. It should all depend on the CW of the playable and the CW of the body whether or not it's able to drag or carry dead bodies.

KorraxeRealism and Immersion. This would be a great addition. Like others have mentioned, it could cost stamina to drag the corpse.
-

BirdReptileFanI think not only dragging should be added, but if the corpse is small enough or your dinosaur is big enough, you should be able to pick up the corpse and carry it like how dinos with the grab ability can hold living players and how big enough dinosaurs can pick up corpses of ai critters. Along with that, your suggestion is great.

ELOHIwe should be able to drag every alife dino in function of the jaw power and Physiognomy of each
-

NiddyI love this idea!!! Bigger predators would drag small stuff like nothing, and small stuff would struggle but manage (think of tar debuff, aka precise walking speed but even slower) for large prey! It would also be great for hurt ones to hide instead of just being in the open with a body but injured to heck and back

BIGJuiceGamingAll Carnivores should be able to pick up other dead Dinos the same way they can pick up critters. Biggest thing Rex should be able to pick up off the ground is Adult Styra 😎🤌

CouragereWould be cool if multiple smaller dinos could work together to drag a carcass as well, like a pack of latens. Could turn it into a whole mechanic that rewards marks and has quests around it like trophies. Imagine dragging a carcass to your homecave and the being able to eat it there later when you're about to starve, or place it next to your nest as a food source for pack members who are not your children (until eaten or decayed). Bodies in 'storage' could decay slower or not all at.

TMTHydraFor smaller carnis like Laten if they try to grab a big animals body they can rip off a limb and carry it around and eat it but not swallow it ofc since it’ll be too big

DvejebsNo very bad How can we even drag a dino please like we can already pick up meat doesn't that count

AstalphI just don't think this is that kind of game. And what would be the point in dragging a body? The OP said it would be for carnivores that wanna move their prey away from a populated area. But that wouldn't really make any sense in this game. By the time you drag the body away you could have just eaten it. And the act of dragging the body would make you vulnerable,. which I'm assuming is what you'd be trying to avoid by moving the body. Would make more sense to just tear junks off and run away with it, which can be done now.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love if the game was more "realistic" and immersive like that. But it's just not that kind of game. =( -

DvejebsYes why not but like small dinos can only take dinos smaller than them same with big dinos can take dinos smaller than them too so like an small dino cant pick up an big dino

TheRabidi think this would be an amazing addition, as picking up meat chunks is not allowed is some servers. I hope that this becomes an official detail to add to the game as now that we have nesting. The youngsters can't always come with for hunts. And some servers DO NOT allow chunking, so in my opinion it would be a very nice feature or the titan, OG rex, and allo.

Yohan M. G.This would be a very realistic feature to add the the game. Right now there isn’t any fighting over meat and food, which isn’t realist, but adding this would cause for that a little for carns. I would love to see this added to the game. I think dinosaurs need to lose food a little quicker for this to be at its max help but even as dinosaurs are now this would be a beautiful mechanic to see in the game!

MaxWe really need this it will make the game more realistic and so you can take the body to a safe spot so no one can try and eat from your body
-

NickThis is really necessary. It will diversify the gameplay and improve it. Especially for such dinos as Sarco. And to play the role, it will be realistic if you will pull out a drowned body on land and eat it there, as it happens in reality. And for many other types of dinos.
