Primal Phalanx (Dino formations)

Arrange your dinos -> Save formation -> Whistle -> Enjoy! Take strategy to new levels!

Arrange your packs, battles will never be the same from now on.

How to use:

  • Unlock the Phalanx Flute engram
  • Craft it
  • Right click on item -> Setup formation-> the reference mannequin should spawn in front of you
  • In the mannequin menu you can : toggle range visibility and change radius
  • Arrange your dinos around the mannequin
  • Press E on the mannequin to save formation.
  • Use the Phalanx Flute to activate / deactivate the formation

Alpha Release

What's possible in the current state?

  • Arrange your dinos and stay / move / fight
  • Flute activable in player or dino inventory to lead formation
  • Personalize name / color (Right click on item) and slot in your hotbar
  • Priority system: the last Flutes activated have higher priority than the first ones

What's Next?

I'm still trying to figure out how to implement behavior trees in a dynamic and non destructive way (keep vanilla per dino AI controller while adding new behaviors) to have thin control over multiple scenarios, with this I would like to add:

  • Better path finding in narrow/wide environment
  • Cliff jump prevention
  • Dynamic walk / run speed to smooth formation moves
  • Auto fly / land for flying creatures
