How does "hard shelter" work?

[Lazzarus170882]

I have a herd time figuring how it works. It seems like animals require tons of "hard shelter". Exemple, i have an enclosure with two bongos, even with three 4X4 shelters and a lot of trees in the enclosure, it sais they're only between 50 and 60 % "hard shelter" hapiness. Any advice would be very much apreciated, thanx.

Another example : Two Warthogs, Four Springkboks and two black hippotragus in an enclosure. I have a 12x8, a 8x4 and two 4X4 shalters, and it still says they're not satisfied

Make sure all shelters are Trasversabe (reachable). Trees do not count as a Shelter.

Some animals require more hard shelter, and will require more as the amount of animals in each habitat increases. For example my lions have a medium sized shelter (don't know the exact measurements right now), and I also made them a cave to sleep in which counted as hard shelter. They are satisfied (there's 15 of them). However, for my red pandas, they need more hard shelter since they are much more solitary animals.

Did you place bedding? I'm pretty sure that's also part of it. But in my experience those 4x4 shelters don't seem to provide enough shelters. I have better experiences with using fewer but larger ones.

Thanx for the feedback.
All the shelters are reachable and have bedding. Also, i tried making shelters with rocks, like a cave, sometimes it counts as shelter, sometimes it doesn't. It's weird.

i dont have any bedding, so it isnt a part of it.
