Climbing animals (lemurs, red panda, etc...) always getting boxed up

[sceh1234]

Lemurs and any animal that climbs gets constantly boxed up in enclosure anyone lese has this and knows how to fix it??

[Et3rnus]

Just commenting to say I've gotten this issue a couple of times as well and am wondering the same thing.

I've noticed that this happens to me if I have a tree that is too close to the barrier.

I've seen that happening with a freakin ZEBRA of mine and I have a theory. Animals get boxed and sent to the entrance of the habitat if they have a pathing problem that could not be solved by the animal itself.

The Zebra I'm talking about got stuck between a Toy and a Boulder and couldn't move on its own anymore. I saw that, was bewildered and then the animal got boxed and sent back to the habitat entrance.

My theory is that this stuff happens as some sort of backup plan when an animal gets totally stuck.

I put all the climbable stuff in the center of the enclosure :/

has anyone had an issue where orangutans especially just dont climb, even though they need the most climbable areas. i watched mine for a full ingame year and nothing. i had ingame-premade climbing frames and some bigger ones i built.

also never seen an animal climb a tree

They only get boxed up when new in the habitat. After a time and all tries not to stuck they won’t get boxed

Yes so the item is a new prob to find out if could get stucked or not.
Just be happy that we have this function instead of hanging animals

I didn't say I wasn't happy with this feature thank you, I was just adding extra context

[Alphakuh]

Okay.
So yes

Most monkeys will get boxed in new habitat or with new items because the KI tries the pathfinding and wants to prevent from stucking

Getting all climbing animals get boxed non stop, made me stop buying animals that have a climb need cause this game is bugged to hell :l and no, not only new habitat, unfortunately, even when I place a tiny climbing pole in the middle to test it, they touch it and get boxed. Frustrating.

I've noticed this too

I think its cause of the terrain, like if its uneven the animal is constantly falling off and getting boxed.

I had another enclosure with Japanese Macaques on flat ground with raised walls, a climbing frame and no boxing problems

It’s not bugged. Be patient. Meh

Your not editing the enclosure at the time are you? I've noticed if I add/edit anything they get boxed up, if I leave be they are fine. Also if the area is too tight they get stuck and boxed, basically it's how the game deals with small habitat bugs
