Quetzal dino carrier - dinos falling off

[ShadoW]

I made a quetz for getting some penguins for organic polymer. They remained wild and I snatched them with a ptera and put them into the pen I made on the quetz. On take off, they fell off - somehow. Does anyone know how to make a pen that will not cause the penguins to fall off? I made it 1 wall high...perhaps I should put a ceiling on the part of the floor that remained unbuilt (the floor is complete with ceilings except the area where the platform is for easy mount and inv access - leaving a small area without a ceiling...is this the cause - or do I need to tame them before take off? Any ideas?

The simple answer is: You can't.

Wild animals/dinos don't stay still where you want them to and will glitch through the walles/ceilings/floors whatever you build to try to hold them. The easiest way to transport them would be to get a fast ptera and grab them one by one, and then tame them at your base. If you don't tame them they will respawn rather quick, as they are out of their natural spawn region.

I'll try transporting them while tamed in a quetz pen.

Indeed. What I do in regards to penguins is taming a few of the low lvl and getting them on the quetz. Then I butcher them to pieces back in the base. Since the taming rates are high it doesn't take long to tame the little ones.

The purpose of carrying them is to bring them back into an enclosure to breed them in masses so that I don't have to travel across the map for their mats. I use mods that have incubators...so...it should then become an afk process.

They stay on the platform/raft if the dino isn't moving. if the platform/raft starts to move, it will fall off of the platfomr.

Yeah just tame them first. I transported 30 penguins in pen on the back of my quets. Difference was they were tamed.
