whats with ankylosaurus (LITERRALLY MADE AN CONTAINMENT BREACH)

[Idk_any_good_name]

my 2 ankylosaurus had low comfort for some reason and decided to breach the fence and escape . they had a perfect habitat and food and water too. can someone explain ?

[I Like Fire Trucks]

angery bois, did they have enough population/social?

[EllyBeeShaped]

Your pen was too small, or they wanted a different ratio of trees to grass, or you put them with dinosaurs they don't like, or they were still uncomfortable from a bad setting earlier and hadn't recovered yet after you moved them.

Really it was perfect? I dont think so.

[Vulconar]

It tourned out that sometimes there is a display bug. Saw this happening 2 times on stream yesterday and happened to me today as well

they hate overpopulated enclosure. basically you need to put them in the same limited enclosure with the same kind of dinos who have the similiar requirement (about 3 species with 2-3 dinos each)
putting them together with dinos that needs to be on a big pack (tsintaosaurs, edmontosaurs, etc) is a bad idea

and i dont think enclosure size matters for population.
i had kentrosaurs in a big one (4tsh island west side) they still get upset over overpoulation

Anklos don't play well with others, so you can't have a lot of other dinos with them or they get cranky. (very low population threshhold, in other words)

I'm pretty sure size does matter. I tested with 2 enclosures with same dinos, anklos had a lower limit in the smaller enclosure.
You'll also notice that the big sauropods can't go in a small enclosure, as their level will always be low on forest or grassland or both. The sliders aren't just balance, it's volume too.

Storm? during storm all dinosaurs lose comfort. They are short tempered so.

[Markus Reese]

Needs are area based, not ratio based. A bad storm can stress out even best penned dinos. Ankyos are low maintenance, but sensitive to changes.

Best bet for them is just ensure a nice pen so you can max both grassland and forest. No more than two and try not to add other dinos. For space efficiency and their low pop desire, can combine with other low social need herbivores.

Ankylos, as ive noticed, seem to suffer (at least for me) from a bug which occasionally makes their Grassland/Forest register as 0 on both meters. This does affect their comfort (which means it isnt just display) but it usually sorts out for me before their comfort drops too low, could be bad if it happens during a storm though (hasnt happened for me in a storm). But theyre very anti-social dinosaurs which want a bit more space than something like a struthi or edmontosaurus.

That bug, I think I have seen that with (memory short, the frilled carno) where my pen was fine when I had set it up, but suddenly the forest need bottomed out so I had to mass forest. Not sure if related, but never know if say some negative modifer glitches in

I havent gotten into late stage dinos, but figure anklyo should work well with tall herbivores. Large space requirements and assuming smaller herd sizes should compliment well. That way not wasting space on devoted anklyo pens.
