How to keep up a Brachiosaurus comfort level

[Carol Mom to Dara]

It keeps dropping, I have made a large enclosure with trees, water,, land. and 2 of them together, and their levels keep dropping on both. How do you keep them up?

They will find comfort in sweet release

I'll always try to add one small herb in any enlosure I build, maybe you can show us with a screenshot (F12) in game

Build a circular ish enclosure and put food water in the middle, then put a ring of trees around the edges leaving a ring of grassland before the trees. Worked for me anyway.

Yeah these brachys are really stupid when it comes to corners, the pen needs to be as close to circular as you can get to avoid them getting upset if they wander into a corner.

I always have the issue where one Brachiosaurus will be upset because lack of forest cover while the others in the herd are fine.

Get rid of that one, and then another one of the herd will get upset.

Same with their Chinese cousins the Memesaurs.

It's to the point where I've given up on putting either species out and just sticking to Diplos and Apats.

Most dinosaurs are pretty social, so you have to spawn at least three of something like Brachiosaurus or Apatosaurus if you're wanting them to be happy. Large enclosures can make the social stat go down because they end up far away from each other as well.

Yeah, I had the social and population stats under control. It was just one Brachy would start dropping in comfort because the forest level wasn't high enough, even when the damn thing was surrounded by it.

Honestly, I think it's a bug/glitch, as I even put one in an enclosure with nothing but forest and water and it still did not have enough forest.

Plant some trees in their necks.

Was said Brachiosaur standing near a fence/wall by chance? Because they apparently can "see" what is beyond the wall when close enough, and will sometimes flip their lid when all they see is grass, buildings, and footpaths. Ever since I started ringing their paddocks with a line of trees both inside and outside, I've not had any issues. That goes for all the big herbivores actually.

Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. I tend to fill in "empty" spaces with trees, so there's hardly any place that is just open. Makes it a nightmare to contain escaped smaller dinos (which is why I never breed raptors unless it's for a mission), but is so much more pleasing to the eye.
