Constantly escaping raptors?

[BaptizedInPepsi]

So I usually try to keep three raptors in my enclosure since the game says 2 to 6 in a social group makes them happy, I give them a huge enclosure with 100% in the needed areas, I give them lots of water and easy access to water, food and goats. I give them enclosure with lots of round fencing so the A.I doesn't screw up with all of the jagged edges. I also make sure to avoid giving them any type of "Aggressive Instincts" but yet they decide to bang their little heads against the electric concert walls anyways to break out. I never notice that they are breaking their fences since I like to spectate my Indominus Rex or my Indoraptor or my T-Rex or my Spino, I would love to have raptors to finish off my islands but I cant seem to have them.

Basically I guess my main point is, is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? And they are like this before, during and after storms. They are constantly like this so I keep having to tranquilize them and sell them cause they break out too much.

Raptors are a ~pain!.

In the missions they don't act the same and are always getting loose. Once the missions are over they will be happy. I use 4 at a time and make certain their plains/forest preference is good. And lots of food and some water.

Even when I am not doing missions they are still little a-holes, on my favorite Island, Isla Muerta, I have 134 million dollars and I had about 40 thousand in lawsuits from raptor! I wasn't doing a mission, there was no storms, the little dude just broke out and killed more than 7 people since the helicopter couldn't tranquilize him.

The dino stats offer the needed details.
Food, water, landscape, woods, social etc.
Something is red, if they want to escape.
It's a storm if nothing is red. (besides of the "escape" value)

Use your ACU on them if it's because of a storm. Wake them up after it. Most of my "carnies" sleep during storms. (because they have a low tolerance)
If I get the message about a storm, I go first to the bunker and then i call 2-3 ACUs to stun all - "dangerous" dinos.

So last night, I made three more raptors, they all of basic genomes expect for the skin pattern and it seems to be having the Doctor Wu dlc helped because they are incredibly calm and the other two follow VLC-010 (who is the alpha, I've had a lot of raptors in attempt to fix the aggressiveness) around.

I don't have any unscripted issues with raptors. Like wizard master I keep them penned in an ecology. I genetically mod them for resiliance unless im growing combatants for a combat pen. I keep 3 in the pen. When the storm hits, I tranq em.

[Meewec]

for me it seems like 5 raptors is critical mass. it's like they sit there and then once the 5th one is in the pen they're like "right, there's enough of us now. execute escape plan alpha"

I ditched an island because they got out and tanked my income. Raptors are SOOOO not worth it. What's the point of electrified walls if they can just damage them regardless? The devs need to check themselves, the whole "Dinosaurs escaping is exciting and a great feature!" mentality is stupid and there should at least be an option to disable it for people who just want to build.

It is possible to harden your park with lots of shelters and double walls, but at some point it becomes more trouble than it's worth. Just send everyone into the shelters when the strom appears so they are out the way for the breakout. Or just give up and only have herbivores, which is what I did when I had room.

I have loads of shelters all over my parks most of them near my carnivores and when ever I get the storm warning I call everyone into the bunkers but it seems to be the raptors are the only carnivores I have that escape. From the beginning of my island, Isla Muerta, I had an T-rex that I modified to have the highest rating I could make which was 156 but her viability was -14% and she was the chillest dinosaur and I had her for 110 days before she passed of old age (she actually passed this morning), and she never broke any of her fences or ate anyone. It just seems to be the raptors but like I said they seemed to calm down after I installed the DLC.

Raptors are just weird and not worth the trouble if you ask me. I am even starting to think they are bugged; that or I am doing something wrong.

First I built an enclosure and they broke out when the storm had arrived.

Then I reinforced the fence by adding two layers to it. This kept them busy just until the storm passed, but they still broke out.

I ended up building another cage in the already built enclosure, so thats 4 layers of fence now. They could not get through the outer layer before the storm was over. Great, I thought! Wrong. They kept banging and banging (took them almost a good 30 seconds after the storm) until they were out. They just never gave up.

So basically there's nothing I can do. It feels like they are either programmed to get out no matter what or they are bugged.

[Inardesco]

Raptors are easy to hold.

[Hykelion]

Played & completed Jurassic Challenge Pena in 12hours... had like 4 raptors & a T-Rex in a double-walled enclosure, never had any problem with them, even with the occasional twister, & no breakouts from them, considering the Ranger Building is like halfway across the island.

I only had 1 dino breakout though, a diplodocus when I unintentionally went past its population limit... lol

Anyway, back to topic, as Inardesco just said, raptors are pretty easy to contain.

I don't own dlcs for this game. (simply because i doesn't pay more for a dlc than for the whole base game - they seem to use the same strange logic as for planet coaster - there is also no upgrade option as for many other games)
Raptors are the first dinos which can freak out more easily. Spino and co tends much more to break out, they already freak out when you get the normal "incoming-storm" message.

Sometimes you just need some progress so you can get new things, like the two concrete walls.
You can also easily weave the fences - Similar to a net or a honeycomb. I do that with the big ones like the Indo. So the dinos have to break through 2 or more walls. Often they give up after the first wall and try it somewhere else.
Together with the ACUs, it is virtually impossible for the dinosaurs to break out. It needs a tornado which breaks your fences in one go.

mehh i hardly have trouble with them, unless ofc on a stormy island. they will always try to escape because a storm will cause them to get below the comfort treshold. just don't get them on isla Muerta, Pena and Sorna since there they will be more trouble than they're worth
