Dino's attack bases?

[teej72]

Do wild dinosuars attack bases at higher levels?

I play the single player game and was wondering if I'd ever have to build a "strong" base to ward off attacks from large dinos later in the game.

In single player dinos are much less likely to attack bases, but it can happen in certain circumstances.

If you draw agro, for example, then run into your base to hide, some dinos might start trying to attack your walls to get at you. Or if your tamed pets are visible from beyond the walls of your compound a passing predator may fancy an easy meal and try to break in to attack them. Provoking wild dinos with turrets or plant X would also solicit a response.

Then there's the possibillity of splash damage. A rex may attack a bronto right outside your fortifications, and with it's broad tail swing the bronto may not only smash the rex, but also clobber your walls too.

And finally there is a small chance that, if you have storage crates close to your wall within your base, a dino might turn to attack those crates during a battle with you, either while in combat or after killing you. Dinos really hate storage chests for some reason.

5 high stone walls all the way. Nothing beats a spino stepping over your fence, and insta killing everything.

4 walls high will stop everything except the titan
5 only if you have spikes next to the wall which large dinos can use as a step over rendering it to act like 4 walls high

If your extra paranoid, just built a fence out of Bohemoth Gates, that should do the trick Jokes aside, 5 high has always been good for me, no spike walls

I'd always heard people saying three was enough to prevent agro from outside and intrusion into a player's base. Is this mistaken?

Spino can climb over 3 walls.

Izzat so? Hmm, I'm sure I remember manuvering my spino around my friend's base in our private server a week ago, and pushing up against his 3 high wall without going over it. Thanks for the info though, I'll have to look into that in more detail then. Currently building my main base on my single player game so I want to make sure it's fully protected...

single play? If you really want to see for yourself build a quick 3 high wall with fence foundation about 10 tiles wide and put a door in the middle. Then summon a wild spino and let it chase you.
