Minor issues
Did some testing, I encountered couple minor (really minor) issues

1. Looks like there is some interference between the rally points if they are around ~1.5 foundation (or less) distance between them. I tried with small dinos (like dilo, castoroides) - there was plenty enough space for them, but even if I dedicated a rally point to each dino, sometimes they stopped far away from the rally point or stopped at the proper point but started to move again (and doing it endlessly). Ideally this "interference" distance should be less but if it is not possible to eliminate it, then during the building it could be prohibited to place a rally point closer than X distance.

2. Maybe intentional, but if a dino is set to wander and walks away (and formerly it was the one who got priority to use a rally point) the rally point is not usable by other dinos (looks like it reserved for the wandering dino).
Potential solution: wandering should be treated as following (so a wandering dino should not reserve/use a rally point)

3. The perches cannot snap on the top of the structures+ pillars. (not sure if it could be fixed in your mod tough)

4. Perches on single pillars always snap only to one direction, I found no way to rotate them by 90 degrees.

Again, these are small issues, Im really happy I found your really original and VERY useful mod. Keep up the good work.

1. Yeah, that's about right. The rally points are tough because it accomodates such a wide range of dino sizes. The interference area is large because of this. I'll try to further refine that distance based on the size of the dino or like you said, prevent placement within that range.

2. If you change the name of the dino that's using the point, it shouldn't still be looking for the wandering dino. I'll take a look at it.

3. I've been trying to make that happen for a while. I'll keep at it.

4. Finally done! Place them and then rotate from the radial menu.

Hi,

Thanks for the response.. today I also spent my time on building more perches and rally points to get my base organised.

Point 3. is not an issue anymore (I see you made an update meanwhile and it seems to be solved the s+ pillar "issue"), 4 you also seem to be solved, the only remaining one is point 1 (point 2 is not really important)

Anyway, even if you don't do anything with it, your mod is superb, the flyers can be perfectly organised so the ground rally points I just treat as an extra bonus.

Hey i just downloaded the mod today, and I think it's super cool but itsn't working completely. No matter what the medium flyer sizes never work. Ptera's, tapejara, and argy's wont land on them at all. Also the rotation feature does not work....So far only the small perch/nests works for the dimorphodons.

Thanks!

@UnchainedGaruda Thanks very much for the heads up! I don't know how I missed that. I re-upped and they're working fine for me now. Let me know if you have issues after the update.
