Bugs I am having. ( I think)

So I am currently having a couple issues with my park.
Bug 1: I have a pen with several of 3 different species. (all tiny dinos) and they are beginning to starve and dehydrate. (NOT THE BUG of them being locked in place and starving and dehydrating. they are moving around but just not eating or drinking. They spend alot of time in panicking mode. My theory is that since there are so many of them. roughly 25-30 in the pen. ( 9 feeders and 4 watering holes) when the ranger comes around to do a status check he puts them in panic mode. Since there are so many it takes a long time for him to finish checking their status which is keeping them in panic for an extended period of time. but even after he leaves they still run around panicking for a long while and end up starving or dehydrating. I do not know if this is the reason or if it is a bug but its annoying as heck. any experience with what is happening?

Bug 2 and 3: I built a Very large aviary using several aviary sections with a hollow middle. Kinda like the US Pentagon building. Inside I put 5 species; Quetzals, Dimorphodons, Cearadactylus, Tapejara, and Barbaridactylus. All are friendly with the quetzal and they arent fighting. But some require different terrain comforts. I placed various terrains all around the pentagon shape. Sand / Rock / Forest and like 15 or more feeders all around the pentagon shape. Several perches, and rocks around as well as a water mote running aruond and through the entire enclosure. The first issue I am having is Although I built 3 hatcheries to spread out the hatching of the various terrain comfort flyers into their respective areas; ALL 5 species have moved strait up to the north area of the enclosure and wont even scout out the territory of the rest of the enclosure. so i have this large enclosure with NO flyers in 75 percent of it and everything gatherered up top.

Secondly. They flyers dont fly (much). Mostly they hover in place flapping their wings (they arent stuck there tho, they just hover for a long time then land on a perch. then they take off again and hover in place and then go get food. then take off and hover again. etc.. but when they are supposed to be flying, most of the time they are only hovering. In addition I noticed when I released the quetzals. they came out of the hatchery and were Sitting in mid air. Yes sitting down. like how they walk out of the hatchery with their wings on the ground in their walking pose. They just walk out and keep the pose in mid air for a few seconds, and then eventually TAKE OFF !!! just to flap their glorious wings in place... as they... hover.

The last 2 bugs are perhaps the worst and most game breaking as there is no way around them.

My 4th bug is that of marine feeders. My fish feeders arent dispensing fish. They arent out of fish. they just arent producing. I have tried with both infinite feeders on and off. and they just dont kick fish out. I have to delete the feeder and place another one down so that it puts the innitial fish into the enclosure and then again it will not produce anymore fish. just the fish at time of placement.

My 5th and final bug has to do with ranger teams and their pathway. Several times now my rangers say there is no path, when there is a path. (sometimes the path might be a bit windy and down a few roads but its there. At first I though it was the difficulty of the path. however with my marine hatcheries nearby and Not a single road or structure in between my ranger team and their hatchery it still says they cannot find a way to get to its destination. sometimes if I take direct control and then exit, they will go but most of the time its faster just to take control and drive them myself to where they need to be. (this can be a pain during a storm though). Same with Medical Vehicles, sometimes I will tell them to go heal something or take care of an injury and they will just sit there at their facility and not move.

If anyone has any experience with these issues I would love some insight! thank you so much for reading all this!
 
I've experienced all but the fourth one. The "endless cycle of panic" in particular is aggravating, especially when it isn't clear what's making them panic to begin with.
 
I wonder what other conditions are causing these endless panic cycles? I have a pen full of skittish Struthio (too lazy to filter them out) and they never seem to run from anything. It can't be a ranger check since I thought they just scan one creature and the whole enclosure gets a check and they leave (?) Would tours cause it?

Tours shouldn't cause panic, IIRC, but I know they can sometimes cause dinosaur aggression.

I've flagged the panicking issue with the team

I manually drove a Jeep up to a herd of 3 struthios: one kept roaming, the other started searching for food, and one fell asleep. An Ankylosaurus went into a panic though, but got far enough away that it went back to roaming.

I dropped a T-Rex into my herbivore enclosure: a pack of paras promptly panicked, but got far enough away they went back to roaming. The creatures eventually gave the rex a wide berth.

This is a hard bug to reproduce.
 
If it helps, the enclosure setups where I had the issue contained:
Dryosaurus, Torosaurus, and Coelophysis

Oviraptor, Parasaurolophus, Galimimus, and Stegosaurus

The first one listed in each enclosure is the victim of the endless cycle of panic. I was also using a mixed-era park with Biosyn ranger teams. The second enclosure was also a large one with a Jurassic Tour (JW-era one) going through it.
 
I've never enclosed a dryosaurus with a ceolophysis. Is the ceolophysis not what's causing the panicked dryosaur?

To be honest, I don't think I enclosed a ceolo with anything.
 
I just tested this. I had an enclosure full of Dryosaurs which were fine, but the moment I released a bunch of Coelophysis, they panicked and scattered.

another issue I seem to be having is dinos just popping out of the fence. At first I thought maybe they were clipping through as their path somehow incepted the fence. but the last dino I had do it was a baryonyx and as soon as I got the threat to guests alert, I popped over to it and it was laying down sleeping outside the fence. so it must have been sleeping before it popped out of the fence too.

Funny you should mention this, when I loaded a save to do the test in my previous post. One of my Therizinosaurus was taking a stroll down a guest area. No fences busted or anything. I've never actually seen a dinosaur wander/teleport out of an enclosure, only get the notification that it happened. I think if someone actually witnesses this happening and can describe in detail what the dinosaur was doing at the time, that'd be the diamond-in-the-rough of bug reports for the issue.

yeah I wish I would know if it was a guarantee or not for it to repeat if you load a previous save. I would be willing to ALT F4 my game and reboot from the latest autosave if I thought it might happen again.. and then just sit there and watch. I might just check and see next time it happens.
 
I can confirm they do not repeat actions. just had a parasaur pop out.. reloaded my latest autosave and sat there and watched him. he never popped out again.

Even if Coelophysis are labeled as scavengers, they are still carnivores. Always keep carnivores away from herbivores.
 
Compies are carnivores too. They don't scare anything.
Ever since the update I can’t have compies in my park. They just don’t drink and die of dehydration. The patch didn’t fix it and Frontier has not even acknowledged the issue.

When I was doing the Isla Sorna challenge mode in Jurassic difficulty, I was reluctant to have Compsognathus in the herbivores due to the limits of buildable area.

Other than that, I always keep Compsognathus away from the herbivores.

Speaking of Compsognathus, someone said about a bug that the Compsognathus had not been drinking.

What? Tours frequently cause panic for me, at least with the creatures that can't attack vehicles. A Moros or some other animal will step or land in the path of a tour vehicle. The tour vehicle lines stops. The tour lead vehicle honks its horn. Moros panics and spreads panic to all nearby animals.

same. im always having dinos panic to tours. I had to delete the tours out of my small dino enclosures. I kept losing dryosaurus and compies and Moros to tour panic.... on a side note Right now I have Alamosaurus (LARGE sauropods) in an enclosure ALONE with not other dinos. The only thing in the enclosure with them is a tour rout.... and they are in panic mode right now. I am almost 100 percent certain Ranger teams visiting an outpost cause panic as well.... but cant say for certain yet.

I feel like we are beta testing and bug fixing for Frontier right now.... I must have missed where I clock in though, and with the amount of testing. recording, and submitting that is needed to be done, when am I going to receive my paycheck.....? This is something YOUR OWN TEAM that gets paid should have taken care of 2 years ago before the game launched.
