This is a wonderful mod! I have some ideas for additional dinos. Here they are:
Cryolophosaurus: A 3-block tall theropod (two-legged hunter, like raptors) that can only survive in snow biomes. Pack hunter. Has a strange crest on its head, similar to Dilophosaurus. DNA acquired from frozen meat.
Dimorphodon: Like a Pterosaur, but with teeth! Will attack pigs and sheep from above when hungry. Very territorial, attacks other dinos smaller than it is.
Shunosaurus: 6-Block tall sauropod (Long necked grazer, like Brachiosaurus) but with a nasty bone club on its tail! Can easily fend of hordes of raptors.
Ceratosaurus: A 3-block tall theropod with a horn on its nose! Horn pierces any and all armor. Not a pack hunter. DNA acquired from Scarab Gems (100% chance)
Giganotosaurus: Like a T-Rex, but bigger and meaner! 10 blocks tall at full-grown, it is absolutely untamable and smashes anything Iron or weaker! Need to be fed baby Brachiosaurus once per MC day.
Suchomimus: A four block tall theropod that has a mouth like a crocodile, Suchomimus must be constantly fed fish, Nautilus, and/or squids. Will eat Pleiosaurs and Mosasaurs that are not fully grown, but only if desperately hungry. DNA acquired from raw fish in analyzer (10% Chance)
Utahraptor: Like a 5 block tall Velociraptor, these beasts are also pack hunters. Their sickle claws pierce all armor except diamond.
Parasaurolophus: A four legged, 5-block tall duck-bill that, when attacked, makes a terrifyingly loud trumpeting sound. Plant-eater. Has a crest on the back of its head that is dropped upon death. Right-clicking with crest will produce trumpeting sound.
Tarbosaurus: Looks like a T-Rex (same model, size, etc.), but is different color. Eats only Velociraptor, Utahraptor, Compsognathus, and Chicken meat. Live versions of these creatures will also do.

Well I hope these gave you some ideas! Happy modding!

So one of the things that were mentioned before was changes to the dinopedia. Part of the reason was because the pedia is a great opportunity to impart some facts about the actual dinosaurs included in the mod. Below is quick mock-up Tyranno and I did of our plans for the dinopedia. IMAGE IN SPOILER

Much of the first page will show the same information as before, though flipping to the second page will show a brief facts sheet of the dinosaur. As you can see, there's not a whole lot of space to work with, so the information needs to be short or it is too much. We are also doing something similar with the Archaeologists Notebook, where we can add artifacts based off actual found artifacts and give dates and other interesting facts about them and the kinds of people that existed then. While this doesn't add anything to gameplay, archaeology and paleontology is all about discovering and learning about all these things and judging by the responses here I'm sure a lot of you people will enjoy it. So the question of the day is, what kind of information specifically would you guys want to see included in the dinopedia and notebook?

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you improve the Pterosaur flying AI, please?

Don't worry, Cryolophosaurus is coming soon!

PC, They are improving AI and the Cryo is coming, Just not "Soon".

The Cryo was planned? Sweet... I didn't even know!

You do know a Spinosaurus is bigger then a Giganotosaurus, right?

Well... according to my book here, Dinosaurs: The World's Most Terrifying Creatures, (Yes its actually called that) here are their stats.
Spino
Length: 46 ft
Weight: Up to 4.4 tons
Spines: Up to 6 ft long
Gigo
Length: 49 ft
Height: Up to 25 ft
Weight: Up to 8.8 tons

Then that's outdated. either that or the authors weren't correct.

Captain Obvious to the rescue. Wooh.

No, really. It's so obvious. Only a cretin could not know that.

Quote from xenomorph555

WOW, this is great, I was part of the old FA community since 1.7.3. Ever since then this has been my favorite mod, however after the mammoth update the community got too large with too many idiots and demands so I left and never returned. I thought this mod was dead but after finding this with all this new stuff all I can say to the developers is THANKYOU, I will watching this mod very closely once again from now on. Keep up the good work ;D.

You're awesome.

Jeez. That was nice of you. If you read my post, I got my info from a book. If it was mistaken/outdated, that's not my fault.

OK. If I was mean in any way, I'm sorry. I was just trying to tell Epicdinoman that it's not so surprsing about what he said. Anyways, why would it be your fault? I would say it's the author's fault. Because, people say that Spinosaurus was the biggest theropod dino of all time. So, I'm sorry if you felt that my sarcasm was directed towards you.

Thx

You're welcome.

I really love this mod thank you for keeping it up

Quote from pollito124

can you add a way to tame Spinosaurus, like T-rex except instead of using a scarab gem you use a Power Gem which can be crafted like

Q | NS | Q
G | SG | G
G | D | G

Q=quartz block, NS=nether star, G=gold, SG= scarab gem, D=diamond

So I want to show this again just to see if any one agrees with my desire to rule a spinosaurus

Quote from IvyBlue

Can you update this to 1.6.2 pleaseee ?????

Plz stop asking for the update coz 90% of people who come on this thread ask the same question.
If I sound mean then I'm sorry, but its happened so often I just had to say it.

Quote from IvyBlue

would you rather have a very buggy version now or a non buggy version soon

Quote from xenomorph555

Thanks

You're welcome.

I like the idea of spinosaurus taming, but I think that a Scarab gem is enough because of the rarity. Anyway, dinosaurs like Spinosaurus, Triceratops and Anchilosaurus must be neutral-tamable (like wolves) because they must defend themself against predators, and another feature is about the eggs: they can be putted toghether in one block called egg nest, and the adults that did the egg(s) will defend them and if steal one of them, they will attack you. Another feature is about the Amber block: it can be as common as gold and you can use the Amber (item) putting it in the Analyzer and get the DNA of a prehistoric insect, that you'll put in the culture vat creating a Living Insect. Living Insect are useful for dino feeding, but you can create a nest for the insect so they can reproduct and so insecrivore dinosaurs can eat them (You can even put them in the Feeder).

Spinosaurus, as well as Tyrannosaurus, are hostile dinosaurs, and Triceratops and Ankylosaurus could be neutral-tameable. Otherwise, nice ideas.

good to see the fan base is being renewed

It sure is, pal! Happy to see that too!

So the update IS coming? Yay!

You did not know that?
