mix packing / mix herding option PER SPECIES for server hosts

121 votes

please create a possibility (maybe similar to the species/character whitelist) in the game.ini: i.g.
AllowedCharacters=Achillobator
AllowedCharacters=Rhamphorhynchus

AllowedInterspecies=Achillobator
AllowedInterspecies=Rhamphorhynchus

Since the release of Achillobator, this would be a very helpful option for hosts of (semi) realism servers

And perhaps make it so instead of the allowed species being able to mixpack with everything, they can only mixpack with other species which also have mixpacking enabled... Assuming there isn't also the option of having a list per species of what they can mixpack with.

In addition to enabling general mixpacking for certain species, it might come in handy to define mixpacking groups and put in the allowed species for each group.
That way server admins could set up rules for mixpacking similar species like ceratopsians, sauropods, maybe differtiate by size etc.

I wonder if this would be difficult to program. But if they managed it, it would be easyer for server owners who might not have to put their rules on discord and instead their simple rules server could just be "Respect the server's group settings. If you can't group then don't pack with them." rather then having a list you have to go read.
