Bedding issue

[peaceful miracle]

Hello everyone,
I have a bedding issue with my Komodo Dragons. They say the bedding is not sufficient even if I have 7-8 beddings for 5 animals... I feel I’m missing something but don’t know what... (everything is under a hard shelter if it helps).
Thanks for your help !

[The_K00lDude]

do all bedding say dry shelter when you click on them? (I know you said they are under hard shelter, but visually and mechanically are different)
if it's not dry they wont use it

side note: there's a setting on the heat maps you can click on for the habitats that show spots for shelter

Yes they are perfectly dry...

Condescending ellipsis is not necessary when people are just trying to help

@The_K00IDude : it’s absolutely not condescending, only desperation ahah. Another idea ? Thanks :)

@Messiah of Melons, I suggest that you mind your own business ;)

eh it's alright can see how it could be misread, but I didn't read it that way.

anyway are all these beds little size? maybe instead of having a bunch of little ones just go for one or 2 extra large ones and see if that works? I know it's not a reason to why that is happening but I can't rally think of why they wouldn't use them, maybe a screenshot will help?

maybe the bedding area is not high enough for the dragons to crawl into?

Public forum, i wont. Its a massive pet peeve of mine.

What size bed are you using btw. I have 2 biggest size beddings in hard shelter and its enough. I only have 2 tho

I assume its not that they dont use it but rather when you check the animal hanitat tab it shows you bars for good, water bedding and 4th thing i forget

look at if they have a good accessibility.

go into the heatmap and see if they can actually get to the bedding. Bottom left to open heatmap ( the radar) then at the top of the screen you'll have many round buttons, the second one is habitat. Click one of the komodos, then change tthe drop down menu to traversable area. Can they actually get into the shelter according to the heatmap? If not, it will not count towards their limit, even if we can see they would physically fit in.

How on earth was that reply condencending? All he did was answer the question. Surely you don't take the insertion of "perfectly" to make the remark such. English is not everyones first lanquange.

"Condescending ellipsis". Ellipsis = "..."
I read the message as basicly:

"Yes they are perfectly dry you moron".

"..." is a pet peve of mine so i almost always read it as condescending. Like a im speechless that i even have to say it, thing. Note: this is mostly due to league of legends where that is how its mostly used. Op has said that wasnt the intent tho

Edit. Changed wording to be less of a ♥♥♥♥

Unless he edited it ( he didn't ) then that's not what he typed...

Let's not bring every thread into a battle of wits and ego and instead focus on getting their komodos some shuteye!

I thought i explained it well. What i mean is i read the "..." part as "you moron". I didn't say thats what he typed. Its what i read. Edit: for the record i read your "..." also as "you moron"

Im happy to drop it if everyone else does

Sounds more like your personal issue than anyone else's. Ironically, the only one who has been condescending in this thread is you. So yeah, perhaps you should just drop it, or not have commented so irrelevantly in the first place.


On-topic:
Sometimes my shelters won't register properly until I let them collide with the terrain underneath. Maybe simply moving your shelter slightly might fix your issue. I also had some shelters break after I turned them into blueprints. At that point the only fix was removing it completely and rebuilding it from scratch. Seems to me like this feature just isn't working properly at times.
