Parasaurs keep starving to death
I have 2 Parasurs..Both of them tonight have almost starved to death, for no reason. There is feeding trough near to them that are full of Berries, and meat for the Carni |Dino's too. I have just found one of my Parasaurs unconcious ..an d not eating anything? Has anyone else had this happen? It has only been since the last patch.
I am now force feeding them Mejo Berries...the food bar goes up...but as soon as I stop feeding them...the bar drops extremely quickly, like it does with a dino that loses torpor fast.

Are they set to turret and alert/scare? sometimes that will make them drain faster than they eat. .. but, another player had an issue with one of his Quetz not feeding from the trough or inventory (unless force fed) and starving I recommended trying to upload it into an Obelisk and then download it again. That seemed to work **but** a day later he mentioned the Quetz had disappeared with out a trace .. so .. /shrug/ (shouldnt happen and ive no idea if it was a mod or glitch or bug.

Are you playing single player and mess with the wrong slider (food drain perhaps) by accident? Is it a modded food trough? The range can be changed, have you turned on show feeding range to double check they are close enough? I haven't had a problem like that so I'm just tossing out ideas. You aren't filling it with narco and stimberries only?

I am on Single player. Not a modded food trough. The Parasurs are within feet of a full food trough. I have not messed with the food drain settings at all. No Narco's in the food trough or in their inventory. I had to feed one of them Stimulants as it was Unconcious..almost dead..no food in its bar. I Cryo'd it (I do have a Mod for that) and took a chance it wouldnt kill it. Chucked it back out..and now it is working again. Very damned strange. It has never been cryo'd before. It is one that was raised from a wild baby, and fully imprinted. Not the dino inventory pictures..it was the other one I have that is Imprinted. I only put in the trough all edible berries.

I cryo'd it..and then chucked it back out, and it is feeding properly again from the trough. It is very strange. All was fine before the last patch. As for turret scare ..i will check that. They are both on Alert, but I dont think I set them to scare. Good point though. Thanks ..I will check that..

Update: Both Parasaurs were not set to scare. So who knows why that happened. Some weird bug I think. I did verify the game files and it downloaded 2, one being redistributables , as usual. So maybe that onefile apart from the redist, was corrupted in the New Patch.
