Dino's and Foundation pens
So, I tried building a large dinosaur pen, in order to do so, i did it on pillars with ceilings but also wooden foundations and the gates as reinforced stone behemoth gates,

Now the issue I have is, Dino's that spend more than a few minutes on the floor, sink into it whether visually or not, but the only thing you can access on the dinos is "Change Name" unless you have bird which making them follow makes some of them that haven't sunk in too far able to move, the issue is then, that they have an issue with Stopping following.

The thing that annoyed me the most was what happened today, which is an alpha t-rex was near my base, so I went to get my t-rex's and while attempting to force the dinos to move, 1 of my t-rex's just went Poof..... no where in the vicinity, no death message, nothing, it just disappeared.

So, My question to others is, do you guys have this problem and if so, how do you deal with it?

Im tempted to just rip up my dino pen floor, which may end up making more problems than solving so I have no real clue on what else I can do.

Don't bother with sticking dinos on the floor/ceiling. They have a tendency to fall through. Wait until it gets patched.

Our raptors, scorpions, dilos and birds don’t fall through.

We also have trike, stego, ankylo and rex on ceillings, but every ceiling for those big animals has its own pillar support.

I used to have a base where I had a ramp to the top which i sat my dinos on. I had a stego up there, multiple trikes, carnos. Never had an issue. Not tried with rex, spino, bronto though
see, I have the problem with t-rex, spino's, dilo's, ankylo's, saber's carno's,(wont move but can still ride), the trikes, stegs, parasaurs, ptera's, argentavis all move fine but the rest just refuse to.. move properly or allow to ride.

The problem occurs if the ceilings are close to the terrain. if the ceilings are within 3 walls height of the terrain, the dinos will glitch through. Higher will have no problems.
