Jurassic World Evolution 2 - Update 1.8.2

Hey! The fussy trait should be under Dinosaur Comfort - if it's not there, could you please share a screenshot of that particular setting, alongside which platform you're playing on? Biome foliage is not available for Custom Challenge mode.
Before the fussy trait had an option now its in another option at least next time give a little more information on the things you change so we know something did change

How do you do the custom challenges ?
Hey! If you select Challenge Mode from the menu, Custom Challenge is the first option on that screen (before you select the level).

Hi, just to confirm, the fussy trait has always been under Dinosaur Comfort in Custom Challenge Mode, as you can see in this post on our social channels, which went out prior to Update 1.8.2! Source: https://twitter.com/JW_Evolution/status/1691849328027992175?s=20

doesn't really matter, I guess, seeing as the game doesn't work since Frontier messed it up.
 
Could you confirm which platform you're playing on and send me a screenshot of how the Challenge Mode menu appears for you?
I'm on PS4 Pro. And I have no way of taking a screenshot. But there is no custom challenge menu that I can see. It's just the standard challenge menu that's always been there. I don't even care about the challenges as I only play sandbox. I'm MORE upset that the game is unplayable and constantly crashes. I really wish Frontier cared, but we never hear anything from them about the issue.

Maybe if I could see what the challenge menu is SUPPOSED to look like...
 
@Francesca Falcini I appreciate the continued interest in working to solve situations with our experience. Ever since the amazing Biosyn and Malta DLC we have noticed both have a lot of missing buildings that we would love to have in order to enhance the play experience:

Biosyn (hotels, bathrooms, aviary, lagoon, remote viewing galleries entrances and them (besides their Hyperloop tower), hotel, arrival zone, Research Center, regular viewing galleries, Tower Viewing gallery, tour, zipline);
Malta (Viewing Tower Gallery, Remote Viewing galleries, zipline).

missing buildings ? I'd be fine with them fixing it so that lagoons work and don't crash the game...but that's never going to happen.

Hi again, I've attached a screenshot below of where you should be able to see Custom Challenge Mode once you've clicked on the Challenge Mode menu.
Also just wanted to confirm that your issue has been shared with the Dev team, who are looking into it :)

Sorry to say, even if I am using the PC to play this game, the game is not completely playable.

If you could let me know what issues you're experiencing, I'd be more than happy to forward over to the Dev team!

I appreciate what you are saying, Ms. Falcini.

This small update have fixed all the bugs I have once brought up. I am waiting for Steam discounts to get the Jurassic-World-exclusive species especially those in the recent Prehistoric Marine Species pack DLC.

Regarding the official Southwest USA challenge mode, I am waiting for every new DLC Frontier releases, as I need every species of prehistoric reptiles available for the Jurassic difficulty challenge.

Regarding the official challenge mode based on the film Jurassic World in Jurassic difficulty, I am waiting for Microceratus.

The current issue I am having cannot be remedied by a small update, it is by a major update when there is a new DLC.

Which makes it so that the cohabitation preferences of various species in the game don't make any sense. They should've adopted a system like Planet Zoo where interspecies enrichment/cohabitation preferences are based on animals that a particular species would actually coexist with in the wild. For example, all the herbivores of the Hell Creek and Lance Formations should be comfortable being housed together. Same holds true for herbivores of the Morrison and related formations. The system they have now is so generic and illogical it boggles the mind. Carnivore, pterosaur, and marine creature cohabitation preferences are even more illogical when you really examine them. Point is, for your suggestions to work, the entire interspecies cohabitation system needs a complete or near-complete overhaul to reflect my statements above. Otherwise, it does not nor ever will work the way it should.

With the challenge condition of the Jurassic difficulty in the official Germany challenge mode being no more than 10 species, it is currently not playable.

Since major Update 5, there have not been any work on the dinosaur cohabitation element.

To make the official Germany challenge mode in Jurassic difficulty playable, the following amendments to the dinosaur cohabitation element are to be made:

1) Homalocephale should have similar cohabitation preferences to Dryosaurus, Struthiomimus, Archaeornithomimus, Gallimimus, and hadrosaurs.

2) All species of pachycephalosaurs, ornithomimids, and hadrosaurs mutually like each other.

3) As stegosaurs dislike ankylosaurs and ceratopsians; stegosaurs' dislike relationships should include combat-capable pachycephalosaurs such as Dracorex, Stygimoloch, Stegoceras (if added), and Pachycephalosaurus. I am willing to accept herbivores' dislike relationships based on geography and timeline.

4) All species of pachycephalosaurs and ceratopsians mutually like each other.

5) Pentaceratops can mutually cohabit with Alamosaurus; but Pentaceratops cannot cohabit with Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, and Triceratops.

6) With the exception of Chasmosaurus, Styracosaurus cannot cohabit with Nasutoceratops and Pentaceratops.

7) Torosaurus and Triceratops can mutually cohabit.

8) Camarasaurus and Apatosaurus like each other.

9) Diplodocus can mutually cohabit with Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Brachiosaurus.

It should be available in any section with lagoons, sadly the base campaign doesn't have the lagoons and the only with that option would be the Malta Expansion.
Thanks to everyone for replying, I am doing the Malta Campaign and I'm already to the point of having lagoons etc. But I'm looking to add the Notho to my park and I can't seem to find the lagoon platform nor the underwater viewing stand. I checked in the research areas, and I couldn't seem to find them. I wasn't sure if it's just a bug or something I may be doing wrong.

Check in sandbox if you want the entry to those two. The rocks should automatically unlock with the Lagoon Hatchery node but for the Underwater Remote Gallery you need the whole Remote Gallery Node and, the Malta set doesn't have those.

If I go into Sandbox, won't it delete my progress in the Malta Campaign?

Make sure you have a solid save rather than auto save for the Malta Campaign. Once the game allows you to make lagoons on other maps in the campaign you should check under the rocks to get the rock platform.
