Therizinosaurus Spawned inside my dino pen!!!
Hi everyone today a Theri spawned right inside my dino pen and killed all my dinos...Iam playing after 3 months I had to take a break from playing for 3 months...I had a big base and this never happened with me, back then dino's would spawn maybe close to my base but never inside it...what has changed in these 3 months...I thought wild dino's dont spawn close to base...but this Theri spawned inside my dino pen right on top of my dino's as soon as Iam online i here the danger music being played but nothing is attacking me and then suddenly the messages started popping that a Theri is killing my dino...Can anyone tell me how to prevent this from happening in the future please?

If your pen is built out of gates they won't block spawns.

You can't prevent natural spawning in an area. You'll either have to leave your animals on neutral or install some defenses (turrets, plant species X/Y, swarming creatures like dimorphodon)

Open spaces with no foundations will spawn dinos, if you can, build some 2x2s around the area and they will stop spawning

Your dino pen seems fine to me, I can't see the problem. You can put plant x inside of your pen and set to wild targets.
MAYBE, just maybe, the theri get inside because there is a very small space beetwen the gateframe and the wall? Ckech this, I can't see it, but there is a chance...

Did the Therizino spawn actually inside the building? That should normally not be happening. But what can happen very easily, is them killing your dino's through the wall. Specially the Theri's are notorious for that. They can reach one or two tiles through the wall. I'd say make another wall around your pen, at least 3 tiles away from it.

i dout it can spawn inside becouse of the foundation, but wild dinos can bug throw gates and walls somtimes, even tamed dino on wandring can bug out of your close base.

Yes it did spawn inside the dino pen right on top of my dinos...I think this is a bug since it happened as soon as i came online...maybe the walls didnt render properly and the theri managed to glitch inside :|

I think you might be right i will check again to see if there is any gap...I will rebuild the entire side where the Dino gate is placed :|

Yeah I think it managed to glitch inside the walls when I logged in...I lost all my dinos to this glitch.
