A real life scenario from the game as it is today:
I sit inside and see a this week only Allosaurus Gen 2 in the wild. Of course I bounce up, walk out in the blizzard and go to get myself some DNA. I’m about to approach it. I’m just getting inside the approachable area, but I want to get maximum time, so I keep walking towards it…
My suggestion is that there is some way to put a creature on lock, so you don’t waste precious time just to be deeply disappointed, on top of your everyday depression.
