Carrying/moving of eggs/babies/hatchlings

1.2K votes

Please allow us to carry around eggs and small offspring to move nest sites if needed. Crocs do it.
Also its cute. :D (also possibly small dinos if you are a large one but they should have the option to wriggle free)

Seeing how BoB has a baby pickup mechanic, it's a nightmare! I say make it so ONLY the parents of a hatchling can carry said hatchling/egg.

What's wrong with BoB's baby pickup mechanic? I've never gad an issue when playing there myself. If is that people wouldn't want picked up can maybe have a struggle mechanic with it to alert that you don't want picked up...though I've never had that as an issue in BoB as generally the one picking you up is in your group so would just tell them what I needed.

And well if NOT in your group it's kind of a moot point as they probably intend to kill you...which is still in keeping with the pvp thing and some dinos DID steal eggs/hatchings.

I'd say make parents and flyers able to, OR make it an option for server owners, (WWD realism)

Imagine if there were emotes exclusive for adults and younger dinos of same species like nose nuzzling or deliberately soft pats on their head or even quiet vibrations similar to cats purring haha I know it's weird ask but it'd be wholesome

This I upvote under some stipulations. The default on official should probably require the carried player to accept the pickup attempt with a quick Y or N button prompted or something.
The baby snatching kidnapping scenario where the pickup just happens if the grabber manages to get a hold of you would be fine as a setting for unofficial to play with. It could be fun to mess with but I think it would annoy people real quick if they don't have the choice of what sort of server to go on. The argument over BoB's version is plenty of evidence to proceed with caution I think.
Alternatively a struggle mechanic could work but it would still be very abusable by flyers who would just rise as high as they can while you're fighting unless maybe said mechanic happens during the pickup itself and not after being picked up.

This seems cool but I think they can only do that if it’s of same species and in group so no random just picks you up and eat you

Great suggestion. It would be important if a certain nesting ground was lacking a food or water source, and would just be fun and add to the realism.

I want this only so I may kidnap children, it may be surprising to know this, but I main Laten so to be able to commit to being a small sleazy playable would be great
