Eggs on ceilings

[Amnesick]

Hi,

There is acutally a real problem with eggs when dinos are on ceilings.
I made some tests to prove that :

- During one week , i put all my dinos on a huge ceiling plateform. Very low droprate, more big eggs than little.
- During another week, i put all my dinos on wood ramps. Droprate increase more than 200% comparing than ceiling floor. Eggs rolled on ramps and stayed on ceilings.

To conclude, i think that the eggs pass through the ceilings ( i couldn't verify that because the plateform was on the sea) or dinos drop less eggs when they are on.

Can devs make something to patch this problem, such annoying...

Thanks you, you make a huge job with this game :)

This is a pretty old problem but indeed it would be nice when they fix it

My guess is that eggs fall through when players are far enough for ceilings not to render but close enough for dinos to lay eggs.

Had a bunch of dodos and raptors on second floor egg-farm, also some pteras/birdies in enclosed pen with part of the floor being ceilings on pillars. While i was in base i never saw an egg falling through. As eggs now are layed after some time started when dinos begin to render, dinos lay them kinda simultaneously. So when one egg is found, I'm pretty confident to expect eggs from all dinos nearby. And as i menitoned - none of those were found under ceilings.

And when I was gathering some stuff around the base at some distance, like stone/wood/berries, time to time I was able to find raptor/argentavis/dodo/ptera eggs on the ground instead of the ceilings they were standing on.

This is also when dinos halfway fall through ceilings.

It's hard to tell WHY it happens but my guess is that with a lower LOD the center of the dino is used for crude collision detection so the centerpoint rests on the ceiling... so the dino appears half stuck in the ceiling when you get closer.
It's still "above" the ceiling, not stuck in it, so it pops back up if moved from the spot.

This is still ocurring. I found a few eggs under my ceiling platform.

I get flying eggs all the time. I think it's hilarious
