Dinosaur just stands there and starve to death

[Rin]

I've had this issue a few times now where my dinosaur just stands there without moving and begins to starve to death or become dehydrated. the only way I've been able to fix it is to tranquilize the dino and move it. Is anyone else getting this problem?

[Madcain]

think everyone has at some point. but there is no known permanent fix for it

One of my Gallimimus had this issue, just stood there and nearly died, thought it got snaged on one of the shrubs in the enclosure but it continued to just stand there after I removed it. Tranquilizing it and moving it fixed the issue but It was unusual.

if ya move them, they go and eat, its a stupid bug, but that is the only fix that i know off

+1. tranq and move

Have you tried driving up to them in a jeep and honking the horn (H)?

Doubt it will fix a bug that I've also seen and fixed with tranquillising and moving but it's a new thing I found by accident - the jeep has a horn that attracts the attention of dinosaurs. I'll try it next time I get a stuck animal.

Tranq and move usually helps, though I didn't know about the horn. Gotta try that next time.

I had an anky that would continue to walk around but died of dehydration because it wouldnt walk to the massive pond in the center of the pen

I'm tired of all my dinosaurs dying of dehydration when they're standing on a pond.

either tranq and move a couple of meters, or save and load game.

I’ve been experienced this, too. It look like when Dino get too old they will hardly to move or eat then gets weaker and weaker so went died eventually.

Another variation of this bug happens if the dino gets too hungry and thirsty. They seem to get stuck between looking for food and water.
I was experimenting with keeping a Brachiosaurus and T-Rex in the same padoc. While the T-Rex didn’t attack the Brachiosaurus, it did keep it away from food and water. So I moved the Brachiosaurus to a large herbivore pen, dropping her between the water and food. But the Brachiosaurus just stood there alternating between starving and dehydrating.
In the end I picked up the Brachiosaurus again and dumped it in the water, and that seemed to fix it.
