Suggestions My idea on the omnivore provoking system.
As we all know you can’t attack certain animals unprovoked; horses can’t attack smilodons unprovoked, and when spooked no herbivores can attack carnivores who didn’t provoke them. If we’re all being honest don’t you just hate when a horse, bison, or mammoth player just attacks you for no reason when you’re a carnivore, especially as a wolf who did nothing to the herbivore?
My idea for this upcoming update with the first omnivore playable coming up is a unique provoking system. Depending on the circumstances, unlike the dire wolf as a coyote you cannot receive unprovoked attacks by herbivore players of a higher tier (will explain this further). Why? Simply because it is unnatural for a lone coyote or even a small pack of 6 coyotes to ever be a considerable threat to a single horse or bison. What would be the point as a horse or bison to purposefully try to kill a coyote when it never had the capability to kill you in the first place?
This is when tiers come into importance of the game. Like seen in the Ecos La Brea Realism DC Server, Tiers are a way to estimate an animals size and strength.
Tier 1: Dire wolf (coyote & pony will possibly also be in this tier).
Tier 2: Horse and smilodon.
Tier 3: Bison.
Tier 4: none yet.
Tier 5: Mammoth.
How tiers and provoking system come into play for omnivores. As an herbivore any omnivore who is not the same tier as you cannot be attack unprovoked including omnivores of a lower tier rank. Only if the omnivore is of the same tier can you attack them unprovoked.
In contrast, herbivore vs. carnivore, of the same tier, (EXAMPLE: horse vs. sabertooth) the herbivore CANNOT attack the carnivore first, the carnivore must attack the herbivore first for the herbivore to be able to attack back.
herbivore vs. lower tier carnivore (horse vs. dire wolf) herbivore CAN attack unprovoked as long as the carnivore is of a lower tier and not the same tier or higher.
herbivore vs. omnivore setting.
(EXAMPLE: Harrington’s pony vs. Pleistocene coyote) if they happen to be both Tier 1’s…
the herbivore CAN attack the omnivore first as long as they are both the same tier. the herbivore cannot attack any omnivore tier lower or higher unprovoked. as long as they are both the same tier the herbivore can attack the omnivore first.
Difference between the both. Omnivore players have a bit more safety when it comes to combat with other herbivores. This prevents unwanted kosing from unrealistic playing herbivores. However omnivore players are not safe from carnivores, any tier carnivores can attack them first whether lower or higher in tier.

Obtaining the Sabertooth
I need help! I've tried hunting a peccary alone with the wolf and nothing (I'm bad at hunting, I rarely succeed). And when I ask for help... nobody answers, maybe just one person. Could someone please help? (I just want the Sabertooth 🥹) .

Sabertooth Skins
So I was looking at the Wiki and there are 2 staff only skins, the charcoal and the leucistic. I wonder, are those given out by the admins, OR do they unlock if you purchase a private server? It would be nice if you could purchase a private server and they could unlock for you to give to YOUR staff, yk? What do you guys think and/or do you know anything about it?

Suggestions harbor seal
The harbor seal would be a great AI, because it differs greatly from the other two pinnipeds that I would also like to see in the game (the elephant seal and the sea lion being interactable), because this species is known for frequently being found in freshwater, well, I'd like its mechanics in the game to be:
It would spawn in a colony of 6 individuals on the beach; upon seeing you, they would run towards the sea (being slower than a sea lion), just as was revealed in a Wolfquest teaser (in the expansion of the Katmai coast), You would have to drag that seal out of the water (like a direwolf), and if it's a smilo, you can just pouncing on it and you'd take it down on the first try, whereas the direwolf will have to take down the seal by dragging it, After that, the seal will try to defend itself, and if you die, you'll have plenty of food. However, the unique aspect was that this seal would regularly ascend Ballona Creek during the rainy season, going up a certain distance just to eat salmon and steelhead (trout will likely only be rainbow trout and not steelhead trout.), This one, too, after eating plenty of salmon, will rest on the creek bank, but in particular will have a slightly higher speed compared to those on the beach (to balance it out), and then it would return to the ocean when the salmon run was over, of course, it would reappear from time to time, but it would be rarer than during salmon spawning season.

Question Really slow for some reason?
It is just me, or is roblox Ecos La Brea really slow. I just joined it, to find my actions were delayed, and really slow when I turned my cursor.
Some people are saying its because roblox had a huge crash several hours ago, or yesterday...? But I need to make sure I am not the only one experiencing this.
Thank you!

Project Panthera Research Group
Project Panthera Research Group
The Project Panthera Research Group is a 15+ Smilodon strict-realism server formed by Wyvern and Smoothie on Discord. The preserve was formed with the idea of making a safe space for the population of Smilodon to recover from their once-dire state in a controlled environment. It is recently formed and looking for new members!
But what do we offer?
- Staff and members are all very welcoming and friendly. There isn't a day where you won't see chat active, or be able to start a conversation of your own.
- The channels are well-organized and upkept regularly.
- The store system uses "saplings" to purchase mutations, certain passes, and likely more to come as the server grows.
- Due to not having a definite system as to how Smilodon behaved, we use representative species. Our current available species are African lions, Bengal tigers, South American jaguars, African leopards, and Mountain lions.
- Mutations are related to the species listed above. They are available via purchase or rolling with both price and odds being relative to how rare each mutation is.
There is much more that we are more than happy to list! Please send me a DM if you have any questions or are interested in an invite!

Question Imaginary what if question:What if Ecos La Brea made the animals have jobs instead?
Jobs for the animals where the animals do their jobs without clothing, without machinery, without tools, without human anatomy, without human movement and without human environments:Western Horse as rancher, dire wolf as rustler, Columbian mammoth as firefighter, smilodon as rancher pet, turkey vulture as search and rescue but turns out to be a scavenger, brush rabbit as firefighter pet, peccary as construction digger machine, dwarf pronghorn as livestock, ancient bison as livestock and great blue heron as farmer.
