head trophy Head trophy from all creatures

[Zahlea]

I would love to see it possible to get a head trophy for all animals to mount on a Trophy Wall-mount. So that if I want a whole room with Megaloceros heads, I can do that

My suggestion would be for it to be "harvestable" from a corpse via the interaction wheel (where drag body is); another suggestion (originally by @AngrySaltire) is to use the Taxidermy Tool and the dermis collected by it, so that it's fully optional, but I don't really mind how you get it as long as it's possible  

 

Edit: I'm guessing there's a performance issue waiting to happen here, so my lightweight suggestion is to do it for the higher tier creatures, maybe go by the kibble tiers - what kibble the creature consumes and implement trophies for the creatures that take the top two kibbles?

Wouldnt the simpler idea (not that I would know if it was simpler) be that it piggy backs off the dermis mechanics ? The dermis can be usuable in the taxidermy bases and also wall mounts interchangeably ?

Oh, that is a very good idea  I haven't played Extinction so I didn't know about that mechanic!

Actually updating my post with that

I did suggest this about 10 days ago, that we should be able to just throw the dermis into a wallmount trophy and it should just display the head. No need for new items to be added to the game. Just a lot of programming to make only the head display when you put a creature dermis into wall mount trophy.

There is already a 150 structure count that applies to trophy bases, but it also counts the shag rug, flags and artefact pedastals in the same count, so it should be a pretty simple process to include wall mount trophies on that same 150 count if server and client performance is of a concern

Oh, I'm sorry. I did search the forum for "trophy" and couldn't find anything similar - did not mean to duplicate your suggestion. If you link it, I'll upvote it as well!  Edit: I found it (and a few others  ) going through your activity. (Side note: I think the search function is broken... I searched for S+ to find a post I had seen with "S+" in the name, and didn't get anything)

Anyway, I do think new items are needed. I've never created models myself, but I've programmed creating them from a file and showing them in a game and my understanding is that it's not very easy to use just a part of a model unless you very well define how to cut the model, in which case it's about as easy to just make a new model of it. I might be wrong though, but if I'm not, new items are going to be needed. However, whichever way it's being done, the same performance issues arise.

I agree! With the current limit already in place, this should be trivial to add to that same system.

Pretty big missed opportunity that this isn't the case already, please make it happen Wildcard.
