Some of the users on my server are giving me complaints that the dinos in the game that are designed to steal food from the player and eat it are making off with the players' pocket dino's and eating them, destroying the dino in it entirely in the process. The hunch is that because Pocket Dino items are 'consumables'. they're treated as consumables by other dinos. One of them in particular made the point that it would be one thing if it were an added difficulty / game balance kind of a thing, but dinos should not be being lost to an unintended game glitch / error.
When you do have time to update the mod again I suggest the first thing you take a look at is trying to get the 'thieving' wild dinos to. uh, not to be able to recognize Pocket Dino as a consumable.
