Velociraptor Fencing

[Diana]

No matter what fence I'm using I can't seem to keep my velociraptors inside their exhibit. Their comfort is at 100% and they get out and just rampage. What's the best fence to keep them in?

[<Caeris↝]

I´ve got 6 raptors in an area (that´s the max. number before they get mad) and nothing else. They don´t really like other species in their habbit:

8 living & 3 normal food, water, enough ground/wood, 1 electrical fence and just for safety 2 shelters around the area.

Most of the time they hunt their food and aren´t interested to attack the fences. You need them to keep busy.

The other time they ran around, speak with other raptors, drinking water and enjoy their life.

in the first movie the only reason the dinosaurs escaped in the first place was because the power went down.... as long as you got power they should never escape. period.

if their comfort zone is low they should just start to kill each other instead of breaking through electrified fences.

the devs need a serious doze of common sense.

They tell you exactly what you need to keep them happy in the info for them. If you do that they rarely breakout and when they do it is very likely because you lost power to the fence during a storm.

You do not need to have them in your park at all. Except for a couple of missions which to the best of my knowledge you do not need to complete to progress in the game. If you think it is too hard to keep them, then just don't. There are other dinos easier to maintain that can boost your dino score without the same problems.

I keep 4 raptors which have only broken out once in about 2-3 hours of real time. All that I did was build an electric fence, made sure I was producing enough power to keep it running and that I kept their comfort level high under normal conditions.

One omprtant thing you need to accept is that if you have raptors they will eventually breakout. The only thing you can do is decrease the number of times and increase the time inbetween the breakouts.

IMHO once in 2-3 hours of playtime is not much at all. Before I got a better understanding of things it was like every 10-15 minutes. My first attmept at keeping raptors resulted in them breaking out almost right away and again very quickly. Which I can not blame the game since the devs included a reasonable way to manage the problem and gave me all the information I needed to do so.

I have 5 raptors with 2 live and 1 normal feeder, a large enclosure surrounded by a single layer of heavy electrifed fencing. I have only had 1 raptor break out but that was during a storm and before i upgraded from the normal electrified fence. Since upgraded i have had zero issues with them.

Breaking out should be a rare event.
Let them kill each other if anything.

the best thing is to put in some Ceratosaruas with them. They fight a little but never kill each other and it seems to keep the velicoraptors busy

I currently have 3 Raptors plus double fences how do I up their comfort I can't seem to get it to go up any tips?. They also have water and food so I know it's not that.

This is essentially the way I build my pens, with double fences. Works wonders. This one happens to also be a dual-enclosure (two pens with one hatchery, uses a gate on each side of that center area to allow them to run into their corresponding enclosures).

Upping comfort aside from food, social and population depends on forest and grassland content. If you cannot get them both out of the red no matter how you disperse the trees, the pen/enclosure is too small.

Thank you so much :)

No problem. Another good tip which can help for conserving space are multi-enclosures - essentially more than one enclosure supplied by a single hatchery. Like the one I posted above being a dual-enclosure, but you can make up to 4 easily, probably more.

Here's an example for 3 enclosures with 1 hatchery I made - you can change the enclosure shape, I just did this to look tidier during a sloppy MS Paint job lol:

Try to keep the enclosures generally circular or oblong/square. Try to avoid sharp triangular points, because when the dinos wander into those 'corners' their grass and forest comfort tends to drop dramatically, at least in my experience.

Love the drawing and again thank you so much this helps alot!

Not completly true in movie raptors was attacking fences regularly and checking its weak point they are smart and opportunistic they will commit every possible attempt and nothing wrong with it

For me it was a lot of trial en error, but yes magic number is 4 and 2 feeders or more, double fences dos give me more time to respond, and when a storm hits I just tranquilize them, for extra comfort I have a power station close by, and two shelters storm defense etc. There is nothing wrong whit extra comfort when dealing whit raptors, Indo raptors same. The only thing I dit not do yet, is mixing raptor species in 1 cage

You can't mix raptor species (as in, Veloci and Deino) but you can mix Raptors or Deinos or Dilos with any of the med/large carnivores, other than Indoraptor since that thing hates everything.

For Velociraptors you must have 2 minimum, but because wander distance can cause them to miss each other if, for example, they are on opposite sides of a big enclosure you are better off with 3-5+, just to make sure they are always close enough to sense another one nearby. I always have at least 4 Raptors.

Deinos are 3 minimum - but like Raptors it's best to have at least one more than that, so 4-5+ is usually good. I always have at least 5 Deinos.

Dilos are the easiest small carno to take care of.

If you have a Raptor pen on an island with storms, just freakin tranq 'em all and let god sort 'em out the moment a storm rolls in.
