Is the game broken or am I missing something?

[Spray]

So I made a pretty big enclosure for my big Herbis. I was transferring then from a previous enclosure (renovating my park) and I moved 5 of them in and 4 of them were getting angry and breaking ♥♥♥♥ but one of them was happy. For 4 of them the Field/Tree was in red but for 1 it was in blue while all in the same enclosure. Help ;_:

I'm not completely clear with the Dino lingo but by Sauropod you mean like Brachiosaurus and such?

That't my point haha as I clarified in the post it was the grass/tress and you started talking about socialising limits...

I think you should probably be a little more respectful. You don’t walk in here and ask for advice, then get rude when someone tries to help you. They weren’t disrespectful with you, the least you could do is show them the same curtesy. Or you could just stay out of the forums and figure the game out yourself if you want to be condescending.

In my first reply I was hardly rude telling him it was a bit irrelevant because it had nothing to do with my post. They still then replied stating they were right so I am hardly in the wrong here.

The problem I had (what I think the issue is I'm testing it today) was the radius around the Dino. So I made the enclosure big enough to fit a big group of large Herbi's but because the area was so big they wandered out of the forest area into the grassland so they kept changing what they needed.

It seems annoying in the customisation aspect but I'm going to try to just put little groups of tress round the whole enclosure rather than one side.

Yes, sauropods are the long necked Dinosaurs that walk on four, like Brachiosaurus and Diploducus.

And yes, it's based on Radius, the dinosaurs will walk around their enclosure looking for a place that matches their liking, haveing unbalanced forest and grass can cause discomfort to them

For Brachios it looks 50/50 so that's what I did but because it was 50 grass on one side 50 tress on the other. so when they went to one side of the enclosure they would lose all comfort for one but then sometimes they would stay in the middle :(

Ok cool. Thanks :)

Op, the forest grassland comforts ARE paddock related. Last night I created a corridir attached to 2 paddocks. All animals complained and showed a lack of forest comfort with closed gates.

The moment I opened the right paddock all comfort needs (grassland, forest, social and population) increased.

I do think, that some pre-FK saves don't take all the changes but that is what I noticed last night. I'll see if I can get some screenshots to show later today.
I also saw different animal behaviour in regards to carnivores killing everything for others but onky hunting for food in ny game; Cerato's keeping Struthiomimus and Edmonto's alive until hungry instead of insta killing them.

Well then that is a bit broken then. If I make an enclosure too big it basically means they will get angry... Cool. Also that ruins any sort of aesthetic. If I can't put all my tress in one area that just makes the enclosure look stupid. Fml

That is broken at all. And size is literally 100% irrelevant here. It's all about tree placement. Your fences have do not affect your ability to place trees down. And having all your trees in area IS what looks stupid. Im confused. Was this post a joke?

Hmm ok well I was making an enclosure for my Brachio an it seems that if I put tress at the corners of the enclosure it wouldn't add anything so I put all the tress in the middle and it recognised them so maybe its different for different dinos?

You obviously didn't really care to read the post so I don't know why you're being rude haha. It is an inconvenience because even if you make a enclosure that in "real life" would be able to house 10+ Sauropods it won't in the game because I've been told they have this radius. Meaning that even when you make a nice enclosure it won't work meaning that it is much harder to customise your enclosures as you can't make them too big.

Hmm I don't know what I believe (not saying its correct) that is no matter how big the enclosure is they will always have the Social/Population meters but the Grassland/Forest are in that radius. From your screenshots you look to be using the area given to you at the start of the island meaning it isn't that big. Meaning with what I think to be true then radius won't be smaller than your enclosure.

We are all screwed. Inardesco has infected these forums just like he did the total war ones. I wouldn't exactly call him a troll but he definitely can go off topic and be a ♥♥♥♥ about it.

I honestly don't know though. Without actual confirmation from the Devs I or anybody doesn't know what exactly happens. Maybe it only happens with the bigger dinos who need more needs? Nice test though gives some insight into it. I still believe the bigger Herbi (Brachio) has this radius as from my first screenshots I re-did it and made it slightly smaller but re-arranged the trees and water and now it works fine.

Thanks for the testing :) (I'll try with the Sauropods and see what sort of results I get).
