Something Wrong With My Park?

[Bealla Donna]

I only started really playing yesterday and after a couple hours i realized i had a real problem. My dino's keep dying. Their stats are all good, they seem happy and well cared for, the vegetarians seem to rarely, if ever fight to the death but they just keep dying whenever i turn away for a minute. It could be just the end of their lifespan but they live for like 5 minutes. And also, is their a way to have more than 2 of the meat eating dino's in one enclosure? I put an extra two in mine, which is a really big area so it's not like they are forced together, they could easily spread out and do their own thing but they don't. They just keep fighting and fighting until they either kill each other or feel soo stressed they break the fences and escape. My park was going really well aswell till that happened.

After the dino dies if you click on its corpse it should tell you the reason for its death.

Some carnivores can have more then 2, some are limited to 1 pretty much. It depends on the dino, look at its social stat. Social stat is how many of the same kind of dino it can tolerate, population is all dinos in the pen.

You can see why they died when you click on them, what does it say? Herbivores don't fight each other, only against carnivores to defend themself (some of them). If the needs are fulfilled then they shouldn't die. Generally you can put large and small carnivores together but you need a big enclosure with several food sources for that because otherwise the small carnivores will be in constant panic mode due to the large carnivore and will die of starvation or dehydration because they won't eat or drink because of constant panic. Same goes if you put large carnivores together with giant herbivores like Brachiosaurus for example, they need a huge enclosure and a lot of space or it's panic mode all the time.

Herbivores do fight each other actually. When their population need is too high, armored herbs/pachys will fight to the death to lower the population.

I shall link you to this for their social limits. Once those limits are exceeded, even herbivores will fight their own species.

Raptors / Dilos / Deins cannot live together, but will live with big guys
Rex / Metri / Cerat / Majun / Giga cannot live together, but will live with small guys.

Not to mention the dinos do and will frequently die of old age. Even with high age stats of 90+ they wont last very long.

I clicked on one and it didn't say anything, it just zoomed in.

bring up the dinosaurs stats page after you click on it. It'll give you the reason of death right at the top, underneath it's name/species

To add to the discussion, the more DNA you've discovered for a dinosaur the longer it will live. a 100% struth will live longer by default than a 60%. So where possible max out the genome. There are also genes you can splice in to modify the dinosaurs that will increase their lifespan

I played like 4-5 real life hours on one island and only had to reincubate my dinos once. So they should live for atleast 3-4 real life hours on 100% genome.

Okay, I only ever see them breaking out of the enclosure but I've never seen them fight against each other, not even once. I mean maybe because there only were like 2 or 3 times where I overpopulated them, so I guess I just didn't get lucky enough for them to fight.

there's a difference between population and social stats. If the population is too high then herbivores won't fight, they'll try to escape as population is how many total dinosaurs of any species they can live with. Their social stat is how many of the same species can live together, and it's this stat being too high that will trigger a herbivore fight

Yes it does say something when you click on a corpse. Press R on your keyboard to have dino stats shown. You sure can have more than 2 meat eaters in the same enclosure. Just press R to have their stats shown and read through everything. It will say how much their social group can be and how much of a population itself.

So you are saying I could get a Struthiomimus fight club going if I have enough Struthiomimus? That's nice to know.

I don't think Struthiomimuses have a fight animation, though that would be awesome

you will need a LOT of struths to do that. I don't think struths actually have a red bar at all on either population or social. Don't know if the same is true of Gallimimus or Archaeornithomimusbut might be better to get the fight club organised with them instead

I haven't watched it to see if he had them all in one enclosure but BestInSlot had 600 struths

Well, not in the same pen I can guarantee that. Social max is 20 and it's entire group max is 25. So 600 is quite impossible. Galli and Archa have even less.
