I have a little bit of a problem with my lions using pride rock for there shelter they have to jump halfway up to get the cave when they can just walk up to the cave in pride rock all the rocks are connected so they can walk up it I hope y’all can resolve this problem.
Problem with my lions

Can you share a screenshot, including one with traversable area?
It’s kind of hard to explain but those rocks the lion is going up on in the the picture when he reaches the end of those rocks he and the female make a leap of faith just to get to the top and go up the other rocks to the cave and make a leap of faith again I’ve noticed it for a while I really didn’t think it would be to big of a problem, that’s why I never said anything.

Hey Brandon,
It's kind of hard to tell, especially without a shot of the traversable area, but my best guess is that the large rocks just in front of the lion in the image mean that the ramp is too narrow for it to walk up. - The hitboxes of the animals are much too big in many cases, so you need quite wide ramps if you want animals to be able to use them. If you either delete those rocks or move them back to widen the ramp I think it should work.

See right there in that blue circle it’s a little hard to see but that’s where they jump up the rocks at
Perhaps your right, but I mean it is wide enough for them to walk on they do it with the other pride rock too I just don’t understand maybe I can get screen shots tomorrow
It could be that the rocks at the bottom of the ramp are stopping them using theit, or that jumping is just a more efficient way to do it (according to their navigation algorithms) - A traversable area image would help a lot.
Not to worry I got a few screenshots of them jumping down from the rock only problem is I don’t know how to pull up the options on the screen to share it publicly
An image of them jumping wouldn't be all that helpful TBH - To get the traversable area (which would be useful) Press "H" to bring up the heatmaps, then select "Habitat" at the top of the screen, click on the animal you want to check for (a lion in the habitat) and make sure the drop down menu is set to "traversable area"
To take a screenshot, press F12. The images will be saved to your computer. To look at them open Steam, select 'view' from the list of menus at the top and choose 'Screenshots' from the drop-down menu. Select Planet Zoo using the 'Show' dropdown above the images and you should be able to see your PZ screenshots.
