And we all know that’s when the bad things happen. I’ve found they’re the two key reasons why my dinos start acting out.
So when you’re incubating new dinosaurs be aware that it’s possible for dinosaurs to get lonely, or feel overwhelmed by having too many other dinos about - both of its own species and others.
The social bar is specifically related to how many dinos of the same species it has to interact with in the same enclosure. Some dinos really don’t like sharing their space with more than one or two other beasties. Population relates to the amount of dinos it shares its enclosure with, so the more scaly friends it has the higher this will be. Grassland and Forest relate to your dino’s enclosure, so make sure you’ve got enough open space to satisfy its grassland requirement, and enough trees for the forest one. Some of these are self-explanatory, but it’s the last four that you’ll need to keep an eye on throughout your dino’s lifetime - grassland, forest, population and social - and keep their levels in the blue, rather than the red. Pay special attention to the status tab, where it lists stats like health, food, water, comfort and more. Once you’ve incubated a dino don’t just leave it to roam free in its little enclosure, you need to befriend it and learn all its secrets.
