About
This mod introduces a diverse collection of Stegosaurians to Vintage Story! From the famous stegosaurus to its lesser-known relatives, these plated giants roam the land with their distinctive back plates and powerful tail spikes.
While they are slow-moving herbivores and generally docile, they won’t tolerate threats lightly. Step too close or show aggression, and you might find yourself on the receiving end of a punishing strike from their lethal thagomizer.

Domestication
To hatch eggs, you simply place it down on the ground, they will hatch after sometimes. Important that the area is lit and also big enough for the baby dino to hatch into, it it is too small they will not hatch until there is more space.
Similarly growing will take and require enough space for them grow into their adult form.
Feeding adults,they are herbivorous, you use a large trough or throw the food on the ground, they require 100 portions.
They are friendlier(still might attack on occasion) after 2 generation, you can lead them by the rope after 2 geneations, peaceful after 10 geneations

Does anyone know the general enclosure size needed for the dinosaurs? I have my stegos in a 31 by 28 enclosure and they're staying as infants.
laughinggas Simple, scaffolding platform like with elephants! The bone plates would actually be able to provide support! Make it a multiseater, with some standing "seats" that allow use of ranged weapons? Imagine bringing a gun or crossbow group on a war stego XD

Probably not since they have very spikey backs, so you can't sit anywhere, but you are welcome to change my mind on that
Hey, are you gonna add riding to the stegosaurids?
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STEGOSAURUS LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
laughinggas
Please add compatibility with Butchering mod. We love hunt on this creatures and cook them! Yammy!
Hi, just wanted to say your mods are absolutely amazing and something I've been hoping someone would do for a long time! Thank you so much for the hard work!
Bro i cant keep up with you XD, every time i go to play, every other day or so, you have updated all your mods or added another. You are a machine and we love you and your mods!!!!! Been fun streaming a playthough with them.
My boys are out!!!! And they look fantastic!
oh cool another Dino mod is out
The dino you're riding won't attack you until you get off, but others will while you are ridding, there's no current way of getting the dino you're ridding to attack you, the best nest thing is just turn of riding with configlib mod
Holy crap i was just thinking last night as i was going to sleep, the dino mods are fire, i wonder when steggos will be added... and here you are posting it today. I don't think i need to tell you this but i will, your dino mods are fantastic, exactly what I have been waiting for in VS. thank you for your work!
quick question, can the dinos attack while you ride them if so, how do you get them to?
