So this has been brought up from time to time since the game released but I think we should talk about it again since it is an issue. As of now every dino in the game is capable of smashing through all types of fences, even concrete ones. We have plenty of big dinos that are capable of at least smashing through light and heavy fences but I feel that concrete fences should only be destroyed by the biggest of dinosaurs. If only big dinosaurs like trex and giga were capable of breaking through concrete fences it would make them feel bigger and stronger. Other than combat stats what really sets apart a trex from a struthi or homalo? Not much.
My proposal is that there is a new tiered system of what dinos can break what walls and what happens when dinos are contained and stressed and cant break out.
The tiered list (Open for debate, there are like 60+ dinos cant remember all of them):
Concrete Walls :
Large Carnivores
Sauropods
Ankylosaurs (excluding Nodosaurs)
Pachy & Stygimoloch
Exceptions :
Large Carnivores: Metriacanthosaurus, Majungasaurus, ceratosaurus
Sauropods: Nigersaurus
Heavy Steel Fences :
Large Carnivores
Sauropods
Armored Herbivores
Hadrosaurs
Pachy & Stygimoloch
Exceptions :
N/A
Light Steel Fences :
Large Carnivores
Small Carnivores
Sauropods
Armored Herbivores
Hadrosaurs
Pachcephalosaurs
Ornithomimids
Exceptions :
Pachcephalosaurs: homalo
Cannot Break Walls :
homalo & Dryosaurus
What Happens If They Can't Break Walls? :
Stress :
The most common suggestion I have seen is that the dinos simply get stressed and die. Perhaps when their stress level reaches 0 their susceptibility to disease greatly increases. That way they dont just instantly die for no reason but because they became diseased then eventually died to that (if left untreated). You can take it a step further and make ceratin dinosaurs like carnivores lash out at each other as well.
Climb :
Another suggestion I have seen is allowing dinosaurs like raptors to climb out. A preventative measure for this would be using electrified fencing as opposed to normal fencing which would zap them as they try to climb out.
If the work is done for this it would greatly improve the gameplay when building enclosures for dinosaurs and open new opportunities for new types of gameplay like making dedicated areas for quarantines and such.
