Very irritated, please fix

So, I made a whole account just to post this because it irritated me to no end. Which by the way as a side note, what is up with your account creation page? Was it created in 1992 and not been updated? What was that. That birthday verification straight up looked like that one paperclip dude was going to pop up and ask if I needed help.
But that's not the point.
I'm aware this will go unnoticed, but I have to bring up. I don't care if it's a bug or it's a feature. It needs to change. That being, that I was playing a new game, I haven't played in a while. I got the urge to play, and so I started a new game.
I placed in some Dilo's and suddenly they had a red outline. Their normal blue outline for their territory, but then an extended red one. I had to go out of my way to find out what that was. Apparently it's some intelligent trait or whatever. Fine, I can see how that could be interesting to some people, but I was told by reddit that I can go into my sandbox setting and turn off intelligence, so I did. But then that stupid red outline was still there. Meanwhile these dinosaurs are breaking out constantly, I'm having to keep all my guests in shelters and I'm losing money like I'm Wesley Snipes.
So then I had to go back to reddit, they tell me to turn off dinosaurs escaping. Which I didn't want to. I like the added challenges of an escape, but not this much. So I begrudgingly turn that off too, but that red outline is still there. Then I find out that sometimes they can just override my sandbox settings. HUH? What is this! I do not care if this is a bug or a feature. It needs to be reworked or removed. I will not play until it does. That is so outrageous. They can just override my game settings? I have literally never heard of a game that refuses to adhere to game settings. Like, what. I know nobody on Frontier team cares or will respond or do this. I mean, I'm sure it'll be read, and maybe it'll even be posted somewhere internally, but they're not going to do anything about it. It's so stupid. But still, please fix this.
 
Hey, so I turned on my game and tested this out.

When you went to the sandbox settings and disabled the intelligence trait, did you go back to the same game with the dilophosaurs that have the red outline in the environment?

The intelligence sandbox setting is to enable the chance that some of your dinosaurs would get the trait during the incubation process, not the trait itself.

So when you incubated that batch of dilophosaurus, they will have a 75% chance of having the intelligent trait. If you disabled the setting, it does not remove the intelligent trait altogether, it just means that any dinosaur you synthesized with this setting off would not have the intelligent trait. I tested this out myself by hatching a batch of dilos in sandbox with the setting on, and got a bunch with the intelligent trait. When I turned that setting off, any batches I synthesized would not have the intelligent trait, but the incubated dilophosaurus that had the intelligent trait when incubated still have the trait on them.

My suggestion is to either go to a save state before you incubated the dilophosaurs and incubate a new batch with the intelligent sandbox setting off, or sell off the dilophosaurus and incubate a new batch to replace them.
