Designing Secure Dinosaur Containment Enclosures

Choosing Enclosure Locations

If you plan to capture specimens for a dinosaur zoo or secure research facility, site selection is critical:

• Build Away from Towns: Never activate time rifts or build enclosures near NPC villages or inhabited settlements. Apex predators such as Allosaurus, Carnotaurus, and Carcharodontosaurus will quickly kill villagers and farm animals.
• Select Open Biomes: Build in expansive plains or desert biomes—the same regions where laboratories generate—to provide ample room for giant herbivores like Alamosaurus and Stegosaurus.

Enclosure Security Measures

Containing ancient wildlife requires strict structural planning:

1. Reinforced Perimeters: Build tall, solid walls to enclose massive carnivores and armored beasts like Ankylosaurus and Triceratops. Ensure fences or walls are high enough to discourage large species from walking over barriers.

2. Flora Maintenance: Periodically inspect your pens to prune multiplying prehistoric plants so they do not overtake the containment space or provide jumping points over walls.

3. Emergency Backup: Always store a crafted Extinction Trigger in a secure chest near your facility. If specimens break out or multiply beyond your control, grab and drop the trigger to purge all prehistoric mobs instantly.
