adding to the ability to change whistle group orders it would be nice to be able to whistle group formations, some formations could consist of
Line formation - all tames within the whistle group would form up side by side
Block formation (empty) - all tames within the whistle group would form up in 4 lines to form a Block/Square outline
Block formation (full) - all tames within the whistle group would form up in 4 lines to form a Block/Square including the center (not just outline)
Circle formation (full) - like block formation full but a circle
Circle formation (empty) - like block formation empty but a circle
Triangle formation - staggers tames from one in the front to __ in the back to form a triangle
some means would be needed for players to pre-position which tames are to be where in the so some form of formation creation station or platform could enable such organization.
some restrictions would need to apply to account for creature sizes which could utilize the egg/kibble size to differentiate the allowable space to be filled where as more basic egg/kibble tames would fit in formations than extraordinary yet also would be limited to the predetermined formation. or limit it to natural pack creatures only.
so say one completes the prerequisite structure requirement to create formations - on such structure there could be a pillar terminal liken to the tek teleport pad, using such terminal to switch between formations highlights/colors or creates a boundary line to which assist in organizing the tames into formation, setting all such tames into a group whistle order and locking the formation with the terminal, all tames could be cryo'd or set to follow yet not be in formation until whistled into formation but only the formation set - can not switch between formations once left the creation pad/area.
the creation area may not be need if such organization can be done through ones implant interface - like how we can organize items in such menu - which could then mean one can change formations on the fly but may lead to issues with creatures getting stuck.
this in theory may provide a more balance means to defend bases and as well used to raid bases - changing whistle group order causing the formation to break - goes back to basic whistle commands.
this suggestion comes from noticing that many streamers and i myself not having a smooth (attack target) whistle causing many tames to get stuck behind others preventing those in the back to not be close enough to attack for having followed each tame in near single line fashion.
i suggest this to QOL improvements for the reason of tames getting stuck behind others - tames having to "push" past others by chance.
