Sorry for bringing back to life an old topic, but this one seemed most like my current issue.
I'm not having many problems with the AI of animals or keepers (except in this one exibit, a keeper refuses to fill up the food dish, even if he's right next to it, he will exit the exibit via the jeep entrance and simply run around and around the exibit over and over again, all the time saying 'going to fill up food dish'. There are two entrances to the exibit other than the jeep one...
Anyways, that's not my main problem. My main problem is that my animals seem to be able to escape, without any reason... I can have high concrete walls, and acrylic walls enclosing an entire exibit, and yet I'll find an animal from that exhibit roaming around my zoo at some point. I can't figure out why. I've had to adjust my building methods to fix it (If I have my exhibits at lower elavations, with the walls on top of the 'cliff' the animals don't seem to escape.)
On the same note, my animals may all be in the exhibit, with no holes in the walls whatsoever, and all the gates closed, etc. And some guests will start running around saying that an animal, STILL IN THE EXHIBIT, is chasing them... Not only a single guest either, when it happens, it happens to most of the people around that exhibit. Restarting the game seems to fix that, but it's annoying, since my zoo stars may drop by a full star before I notice that all my guests are being 'chased' by these still contained animals. Again, building the exhibit at a lower elavation seems to fix that problem too, but building like that is so ugly and seems unecessary.
Am I not doing something right, or is this a glitch, which will hopefully get fixed in a future patch?
p.s. I have all expansions and they are all legal versions (no pirated copies).
