Auto Turret vs Wild Argent?

[Necromonger]

i am living down there on the right side of the picture. we now have alot of dinos ther and all on neutral BUT sometimes a stupid wild argent comes down and all dinos rush to kill him and we need about 20-30 minutes to put them back in place.

- would it be useful to place some auto turrets there to kill the argents before reaching our dinos?
- maybe the amo is to expensive?
- how much turrets do we need to kill 1 level 120 bird?

any other ideas? set dinos on passiv is no option.

several actually.

1. build a covered pen, if theres a roof then wild argents wont see anything to agro

2. set all dinos to passive, and then change specific dinos to neutral (strongest ones, ie rex spino) to be neutral, to guard the rest

3. pretty sure the turrets wont start attacking a wild argent unless it actually attacks something, so your dinos would need to be right next to the turret etc.

well passiv is no option if a alpha joins our base we at least need hope to win :D
how is the damage of a turret vs dino damage?
because all other guns suck vs dinos...

sometimes they just land and walk arround our base, sometimes they attack a dino and get instant killt - how does the aggro system work in this game?

[Raven]

well thats true ahahaha
though if your high dmg guards dont kill it, your other dinos are unlikely to dent it, and if all your dinos go into attack, your weaker ones will die first, and if theyre all in a clump, it will harvest the dead dino while attacking other dinos, thus healing it.

youre actually more likely to kill the alpha if only your attack dinos attack it, not all of your dinos, to limit its ability to heal by eating

the aggro system is that wild dinos are literally set to wander, and have a set aggro range that tends to differ by dino. if the dino has line of sight within its aggro range it will go to attack

I use spikes for anti-avis protection. All my pets are inside the large pen (rexes included) and set to passive. Pen has spikes around it and and on pot of it. Any birds that try to attack the pen get killed in seconds.

Autoturrets can be set to attack wild dinos aswell as players and tamed dinos, the ammo is a little expensive as it's made in a fabricator as are the turrets.

But your still gona have the same problem with the dinos trying to eat the corpse without a roof.

This true except for in the case of the flying dinos. Argents and Pteras (maybe some others) take that bonus damage from ranged weapons, making most of them pretty effective at killing those, especially the longneck rifle.

I believe this is in north west of the map. go to west 3 then up north along the coastline (X: -274800 Y: -187200 approx)
