Isla Muerta and Raptor/Dilo happiness

[TheMightyMegalosaurus]

I've talked with others about this and apparently they've never had this problem. Whenever a storm comes through my raptors and dilos' comfort drops, and the raptors always get to the point they're agitated and break out. I've got their grassland and forest needs at 100%, they have plenty of food and water, and I've tried having them at maximum social and bare minimum social, and nothing works. Other people have told me their raptors and dilos never have comfort drop or problems with breakouts. Is it some kind of bug, or am I just really unlucky.

My Raptors have been happy and with high comfort, but sometimes they get restless and escape from their enclosures. I'm not left other than selling them. but there came a time when this it happened very rarely.

Is this the raptor for the security mission? Because that one is a fickle who is constantly agitated no matter what you do.

No, they're all raptors made for the park, I haven't done that mission yet.

On the Isle Muerta the weather drives the Dino's crazy, that's what the commentary says any way. I've had herbivores break out not just the carnivores all after the storms.

That's the funny thing, all of my herbivores big and small and the Ceratosaurs don't give a hoot about the weather, they're always fine. It's only the Dilo and Raptor that go nuts, and except for one time where it did for some reason the Dilos' Comfort doesn't get low enough while the storm's happening for them to get agitated before it's over, it drops to around 74% (still in the blue zone) then starts going back up.

I don't think you want them at maximum social but somewhere bang in the middle of their comfort zone for better result. If you're near the red then minor effects can push them into discomfort?

Not sure, but they'd get grumpy no matter how many of them were around, even in a giant pen I made for them on the east end of the island so they'd have a lot of space.

Well, Dilophosaurs give Velociraptors a run for their money in a battle, so that possibly stirs things up a bit? However Velociraptors also have a minimum social level, as well as a maximum, so is it possible you're giving them too much space maybe. When they scatter (perhaps because of a storm or through natural wandering) they're not getting enough social from getting too far apart?

edit; by the way, the survival of the fittest mission (Security, Muertes) gave me a reinforced electric fence, that helps with keeping Velociraptors in - a lot - even if they do get edgy. It's a cracking mission too. I have four (basic) Velociraptors living with a Ceratosaur in a reinforced electric pen now and they seem to be doing OK (fingers crossed).

There's quite a lot threads about raptor behavior here and even more on steam. But i haven't seen one yet that says that their raptors are fine during a storm.
If they are well kept and feel comfortable they always go nuts during a storm, sometimes the storms just over before they break out but most times they escape if you don't tranq them right away when storm warning appears.

P.S.: Yes the mission raptor is totally crazy. Took me like half an hour or longer to get that 5min timer to zero. Escaped, got him back in and like 20sec later he was out again lol

Oh yeah .. I'm not saying there weren't (quite a few) human casualties doing the mission! I was laughing like a loon actually and adore the game. The escapee Velociraptor ended up standing by the emergency bunker door, which was open because there were Velociraptors loose. Screaming people running towards it to hide inside, ran straight into Sally. It was total carnage, proper piles of bodies lol.

I'm reasonably sure that raptors on Muerta are hardcoded to freak out faster during storms than they would on other islands.
The same is true for Rexes on Pena, and raptors on Pena attack Jeeps with much more ferocity. It seems that the islands have somewhat unique behavior for some dinos to add to the "feel" of each?

It's because those dinosaurs have a really low tolerance for discomfort -- they're divas and it doesn't take much to agitate them. If you look at your other dinos, specifically their comfort bars, the red portion of the bar is lot smaller -- so they do suffer the comfort drop during a storm, but they tolerate it much better and it's not enough to push them into break out attempts.

Yeah, my raptors definitely wet the bed whenever it so much as sprinkles. Took to tranquilizing them whenever the storm warning popped up, but I either botched that once, or that upset them, and had a breakout resulting in a handful of deaths. So, now the little brats are officially in dino prison. I doubled the walls on the fencing around them and laced as much electrical and heaving fencing as I could between the inner and outer fence. It looks like a mess, but I'd love to see one of them try to break through all that without me noticing.

I think something that would help a lot would be a warning that a dinosaur is attempting to breakout before they've actually destroyed something. Certainly the park has security cameras watching their every move, why am I only being notified once it's already too late to do anything?

 

[EvilMark]

Haven't had issues with my dilophosaurs, but my raptors bust out as soon as the storm ends every single time, i just tranq them when the storm starts now.

As soon as I hear a storm coming in on that island I just get my ACU in the air straight away and tranq all my raptors, the fences in this game are just polite suggestions to the dinos telling them where they might be more comfortable.

And when the storms come in the Raptors never feel comfortable.

Same here. I even have two Chrichtonsauruses with my dilos and they are living together just fine.

I don't keep them together, and it doesn't matter how many, how few, how big, or how small the enclosure is, the dilos and raptors' comfort drops during storms, and the raptors always drop low enough to try to escape. No other dinosaurs even care about the storms, their comfort doesn't move an inch.
