Dinosaur constantly breaking out is really annoying.

[Obim Sol]

How in the hell does a struthiomimus bash her head through an electric fence AND on concrete wall without sustaining any injuries. Not only is the constant breaking out ANNOYING (even when at 100% comfort), it's also stupidly unrealistic that some of these dinosaurs can even break through the walls.

Give us an option to automate the ACU/Rangers so I can just enjoy watching my park and building it. Instead I have to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fix fences and tranq dinosaur every 5 minutes or so. lol

This i agree with. The fences should have a LOT more hit points.. and some animals shouldn't be able to break out unless there's sabatage

Been trying to figure this game out.. play for a few hours and have dinos in a pen, all are happy for hours.. i work on other parts of park, and all the sudden the pen that has had zero issues for hours of gameplay has dinos breaking out al the time, non stop Yes with 100% comfort. I assume some rng says FU time to play the mini game of darts (or the irritatingly slow click and so on game to get the game to do it for you). I am really regetting the $50 price.. but there is no way to know it would have got this annoying 2 hours in. This game is missing some really odd things. Where are the standard info bars (money, power, etc) pretty much every management game prior has had? Instead click into the manament screens and click more .. this is info i want often, going a step back and making it several clicks every few minutes to keep up to date is silly when you knoe every other game had the info in easy to read info bars on main screen. Most the research is simply "time sinks" of no use. AND .. come on, haveing the tutorial mission ask you do stuff you cant do (give a dino faster reflexes) when i have researched all the avilible items the rest are all locked is bad.. I ground on the mission forever till i figured i couldnt complete the contract (or did i miss something?, do other contracts unlock items so you have to sit on one and do all the others if you did them out of orer?). Upside it looks pretty and it has not crashed on me yet...

Damn, I didn't even know struthiomimus can get pissed off. All my break out problems usually happen because of security missions.

Just delete a mission if it asks you to do something you cant.. easy

umm money is at the bottom of the screen, along with park rating and division faction... what else would you like clogging up the screen?

and they just dont break out to break out. the only do it if 1) unhappy, 2) sabatoge or 3) a mission or contract has them go wild (and yes many of them do that)

correction.. certain genes will make them randomly attack fences

lastly if you're 2 hrs in, you've ony scratched the surface of the game

sorry but you're wrong on them not breaking out randomly even with 100% comfort, there is a constent random chance off them to break out even with zero mods. The worst offender in this is velo raptor. I've seen it happen many times.

I mean sandbox even has a scale for the breakout chance. so it is a constent RNG

dinos only attempt to break out when they are unhappy. I have not had a single break out since i figured that out. Try to balance the size of the enclosure with the amount of trees and grassland as well as population as some prefer herding. The trex prefers to be alone.

Exactly this. Make them perfectly happy, no more breakouts.

Even a T-rex shouldn't be able to just casually bust through an electrified concrete fence at will. What the ♥♥♥♥ is the point of having more secure fences if the dinosaurs can just break out of any of them? Sure it might take longer for them to break out, but it's really barely worth the extra investment for those extra few seconds of frantically trying to get your rangers to go repair the fence without taking the long route for some reason. And yeah, sure, keep your dinosaurs happy and they won't break out. But the problem is, make them happy, have all their conditions met, and they'll still find some reason to become unhappy again, like moving to a different part of the enclosure, or in the case of extremely large herbivore exhibits, somehow being overpopulated in a space that's barely even filled up with dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs behaviors are weird. Edmontasaurs seem to be happy no matter what, except that one security mission in the beginning that can make it break out. Triceratops , same thing, usually always happy and never break out. Maias are happy with 3 or more, less than that and their comfort drops steadily.
I also conducted a test, using the cheapest fence seems to be the most cost effective and cause less issues. When I upgraded one dinosaur enclosure to all Electric, any dinosaurs I put in there would break out, not sure why, maybe they get shocked and get mad? Electric enclosures suck, don't use them, unless you like dino break outs.
Velociraptors seem to try and break out of anything, I guess it's their nature? I have found that I can house T-rex and Dilos together and or Deino, but not all 3. The T-rex will growl at them but they are fast and can stay in the same enclosure.

You need better understanding of your dinosaurs. If they're comfortable, they will NEVER break out.

You really want an option that has the game play for you? Controlling breakouts is the ENTIRE point of this game. You might want to try City Skylines instead...

I was playing on Isla Nublar today (already completed the game 100%), and I recreated all of Jurassic World from the movie. Not a single breakout the entire time I was building, even with the Indominous Rex. Why? Because I made sure every dinosaur's needs were met and monitored them to ensure they were comfortable. If there's a storm, I send my ACU unit ahead of time to tranq problematic dinosaurs. Once the storm's gone, I wake them up and nothing happens.

[Plonker]

The hell did you do to the Stuthiomimus to make it want to break out? I've played for hours and never had one get upset enough to try, they are the easiest dinosaur to please.

Triceratops are ok, but they can't be enclosed in a huge population which is annoying.

You will learn quickly which dinosaurs are easy to please when you play the bankrupt island, Tancano? I went with triceratops, struthiomimus and edmontasaurs to get income rolling in till I could build, expedition, ranger, ACU and fossil center. You have to have easy to please dinos that aren't going to break out to succeed in that island, at least in the beginning.

[ChibiFenrir]

Dino's will break out with 100% comfort I've seen it happen many times xD and I've 5 star every island and 100% genome all dino's I've seen them break out mutiple times with 100% comfort.

and on the fence topic. electic fences will take longer to break then the normal fences. a light steel electic fence will take a dino longer to break then a concrete wall fence. and yes I have done a lot off testing with diff dino's and types. the only things I haven't tested yet are apexs and herbs.
