Tallest dino/creature

[Guidsmaster]

Anyone know how many walls high the tallest dino is? As in, whats the minimum height of a roof for anything to be able to walk under?

Before we answer, are you counting the titanosaur or Extinction titans in this?

[Guidsmaster]

would be nice to know titano and lower, such as giga, bronto, reaper.. not sure which other notably large creatures there are

*edit: basically im just wondering what the biggest thing i can fit under a 6-wall-high roof is, and how far off id be for a reaper, giga or tita. i could possible make my base one or two walls taller, or just build elevators on each side so the huge ones can go over the roof

Unless you have raid dino feeding on... you're not going to house a titanosaur... and certainly not a Titan... so... Behemuth gate high?

I'm afraid I don't know of any lists comparing dinos to wall height. The wiki has a picture which compares most dinos to each other, and to the player, but not structures.

It's also tricky because, for most large creatures, you stand on their backs when you dismount. But if the ceiling is too low when you stand up, you get stuck in it and can't escape without breaking it. So you don't just have to factor in the dino size, but also a wall or so above that too.

I do recall however that a while ago on an old savegame I made an open barn which (if I remember rightly) I specifically made big enough to house a bronto. I have a screenshot of a sarco with it's tail glitched inside that barn:

The barn was designed for the bronto's shoulders to be able to get in beneath the balcony (if it ducked it's head), and then have a bit of space above for it's head to go when standing idle. And looking at that pic now, it looks like the balcony was 6 walls high at the entrance. So a bronto could probably fit under your roof, just about, but it's head would stick out, and you'd run into that issue of getting stuck in the ceiling when you get off.

Also, I have some pics of a mobile base I built on the back of a paracer, and from that I can estimate that paracers are just over 4 walls high at the shoulder (but again their necks push their heads higher than that).

Very nice! I love seeing unique, aesthetically pleasing, functional structures.

Thanks very much for the replies! Good to hear a bronto can relatively fit, though the getting stuck sounds like a pain. Fortunately I dont think there are brontos on aberration, so i wont have to adjust for that. Still nice to know for other maps. As long as a Reaper can fit in there, i think i should be good! Nice pic btw xD

I think I read somewhere that behemoth gate is 12 walls high, which would be really hardcore to roof.. my base is in a cave that blocks passage unless going through the base.. instead of building 12 high itd be much easier to just put large elevators on either side I guess.

Thanks for the complements^^

And with regard to gates, yeah the standard one is 2 foundations wide and 4 walls high, while the behemoth one is 7 wide and 12 high (all measurements including the gate frame as well as the actual doors).
