Dino's Attacking Fences After Storms Even With 100% Comfort

[Miffology]

All in all, you have a storm/tornado. This causes your Dino's with high comfort restraints (Velo/Rex/Deno etc) to drop below their threshold, which makes them normally attack your fences.

After the storm has passed and the comfort has risen above the threshold back to 100% at least 2 of a pack of 4 of Velo's for example will keep switching between Roaming/Attacking fence action. Although my T-Rex will stop once his comfort has gone over the threshold.

So basically every storm is it hard programmed for a set number of dinos to keep breaking fences no matter what? (Similar to some of 'missions' your given) Even after it has passed. As is this just bascially an absolute pain to keep watching velo's attack a concrete wall every single time a storm hits. (also how does a velo destroy a electrified concrete wall, i'll never know).

Have tranqed the effected dino's and placed them again in the repaired enclosure but same happens again with another storm.

Trying to find out if intended/bug or some serious oversight of mine on something I'm doing wrong.

Many thanks.

The game tells you storms upset dinos and they get angry durnig them

One of the voice actors in-game explained this

So yes - intentional. Look at every JP/JW movie.. storms = mass chaos

so yeah the game is hard coded.. ESPECIALLY for raptors... they break out if there's a storm, sabotage, etc because they are smart and taking advantage of the situation

[Miffology]

Yes you're correct. I understand this during the storm but after the storm when the comfort has risen back up, they continue to do this, i did find that tranqing them as they perform the action they run off, so I stop tranqing mid action and then they are fine. Just making sure it's not a queued action bug. cheers for the reply

EDIT - This is about 2/3 mins after the storm has passed. Depending if they just switch attacking different walls

Actually this just miffed me. I intentionally watched my dinos during a storm, especially after hearing how vels react. I noted the high requirement for comfort. Storm hit. Watched them drop below. Watched them go up after storm passed. Thought "okay cool, happy dinos with no break out". Proceeded to continue running park... vels have now broken the fence well after their comfort maxed out. Even followed the practice of pairing them with big carnis to bully them. Lots of live feeders to allow them to hunt as well.

Some dinos with high attack/aggression seems to break out even at max comfort level.

Not sure if it is a bug?
Had some denos which broke out and put them back in cage and still after their comfort got back to 100% they shown as thread to visitors and trying to break out constantly.

No storm or something happening at the same time.

You may have visitors trapped inside your pen.

What I found odd is that they where fine before the storm. Their comfort dipped and recovered to 100% before I opened my shelters after the storm. They still broke out as if uncomfortable, but were then fine as if nothing happened after being tranqed and returned.

I double fence with heavy steel.
There are many reasons for a Dino to attack the fences after a storm. For example Corythosaurus (from memory) will attack if they don't have another Corythosaurus to socialise with. So.. if one dies in a storm the remaining one will attack the fences until a new one is hatched.

It seems that when a dino tests a fence, it'll often continue smacking it till it breaks no matter how comfortable it is.

Some mission objective dinos are forced to try to break out as well, no matter how comfortable they are.

Tip:

Tranq your carnivores before the storm hits. Let them sleep.

Wake them up afterwards.

Thanks for the reply guys, it just seemed very weird to me that it was always 2 of the 4 velo's that would incite this behaviour yet my Rex will attack fences during storm, then as I watch the comfort tick up over the threshold after the storm she would stop attacking. Just seemed odd it was only with velo's/deno's. I guess it is what it is. Cheers again all.

EDIT - For storms imo, I feel it should be
1) the comfort decreases they test the fences to see if they can get out
2) if you have weak fences for what dinos are in there, then well don't cut costs
3) vary the times for how long a storm can last to decrease comfort more or less, so you get varied break outs or not depending on wall strength.
4) dino's cease attacking fences once comfort has risen over threshold

This just seems how it should be in my head, however tornado's last longer with storm affects and general devastation, I can understand that one, just storms seem a bit weird to me that some species will just have a nervous breakdown after a storm and attack walls forever with max comfort.

I guess it is what it is. I'm just rambling, they might tweak stuff in updates etc. Cheers again all.

Yeah this is what i'm on about, only seems to happen with Velo's and Deno's I've found. Always seemed to be 2 out of a pack of 4. Also made the mistake of opening shelters as well, I just wait to hear any massive thuds before opening now haha.

From what I seen Raptors when unhappy go socialize then attempt to break out as a group.
Once they done the socializing step they will break one peice of fencing no matter what.
As such raptors should always be doubled fence this lets them destory a fence with out breaking out of the pen.

[Miffology]

cheers Kotli, was too busy half the time managing chaos from a storm to notice. Also found putting a giga in their pen soon stopped them from socializing and has worked about 90% of the time now as sinsling recommended using big carni's. (this was on a different island)

Everyone says double fence but on island 4 (smallest one, can't remember name right now) sometimes not enough room, found space management on that one a tad hard for me but hey just 5 starred all islands and got 3 more missions to go and then I've finished the game so my earlier salt has subsided, time to go revisit that island and perhaps change stuff up or just start again with that one. Cheers and have fun!

Or put them with a T-Rex. The paddock should not be too big, though.

This is happening with my indominous, after several broken fences and tranq/repairs...

[Gundyr]

Use electric fences, they attack it a couple times but get shocked and stopped. If its not electrified they might keep attacking until they break out. Or if you cant electrified the fences put a double fence around.
