Fleeing Flamingos

[SteffiSyndrome]

So... in Sandbox mode, I decided to add some Flamingos. However high I make the fence they... magically walk through it. All of them. Every time. All the time. Help?!

[Mythophile]

Raise the height. They don't seem to fly off when the fence is at least 6 feet high.

Do the guests run? Fancy running from a flamingo :D They just hang out constantly in places like Miami.. much nachos, hit the Mojitos. Then again a Flamingo on a Mojito isn't a pretty sight maybe they should run.

[SteffiSyndrome]

@Mythophile - I raised it as high as possible. They just.. 'float' out through the fence, always the same exact spot.

@Zeesha XD they don't run.. yet... but they are persistent.. what's a mojito? Sounds like an adult beverage? I'd have one - especially after the Flamingo fiasco!

[Redsox]

Try to use Brickwalls at the section where they "float" through

A Mojito is a cocktail that consists of: white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. ;)

Back to the game - Maybe its a terrain issue, is the land flat, or at least smoothed?

@redsox I'll definitely give that a try tomorrow, thanks!

@Katelyn: that sounds delicious! If that's what they are after I can hardly fault them! As for the landscape - it's smoothed.. though, it is right where they can get out of the water, too. Is it possible I made the water too deep? From what I watched online, they only like shallow water?

It is possible. Though I've had deep water and they swim just fine. :/

Give it a try. I know the Hippos are fussy with the water depth, maybe the Flamingos are the same and I was just lucky with mine

If that doesnt work try the null barriers outside your barriers.

[Morb The Menace]

Are your barriers on a slope? I've experienced animals walking through fences when my fences were below (on a slope) the "living grounds". No matter how much it got raised, they just walked through them.

[SteffiSyndrome]

Well... I just tried it again and they never once tried to break out. I changed nothing. The terrain has never been raised. So that wasn't it. I have seriously no idea what caused it in the first place. Quite frankly, I think this game has a lot of strange bugs on and off. Like today, a lot of my animals were suddenly starving. Who knows what it will be like tomorrow when I start the game again. It's sweet and I enjoy it BUT... yeah... bugs. Lots of them. And I don't really like them in any shape, be it the buzzing kind or the kind that messes with your games.
