Fun Challenge: Creating a Novel Nublar
- Thread starter RadicalEdward2
- Start date
What I've found when building a JP nublar is that their park design was pretty good. I lowered the terrain near the fences for some animals to simulate a moat, which does keep dinosaurs away from the fences more. Then there's the perimeter fence that seperates the guest side from all the paddocks which is great for security. If ONLY we had a safari truck ride and if only the truck and gyros could have paths that went through gates and you could assign their routes to go over the walkway paths it would be a near perfect JP and be super secure! I put down two rows of perimeter fence and idt any dino could ever make it out of my tour side to my guest arrival side before i tranqed it.
Seeing as how the expansion is out and delivered so much new content, now is the perfect time to bring this challenge back to everyone's attention!
I'm actually going to give this challenge a second try once I've finished the expansion!

The possibilities with all the new content are endless ♥
Yeah, with all the new dinosaurs it's actually almost do-able...
• Tyrannosaurus - 2 (One T-Rex as the Adult, one Albertosaurus as the Juvenile)
• Maiasaura - 21
• Stegosaurus - 4
• Triceratops - 8
• Procomsognathus - 49 (Compsognathus works as a replacement)
• Othnielia - 16 (Dracorex or Stygimoloch would be my suggested replacement... or maybe Struthiomimus)
• Velociraptor - 8
• Apatosaurus - 17 (Replaced by Camarasaurus in some versions)
• Hadrosaurs - 11 (Edmontosaurus works fine)
• Dilophosaurus - 7
• Pterosaurs - 6
• Hypsilophodontids - 33 (Dryosaurus... which I'm pretty sure was the specific Genus featured in the novel)
• Euoplocephalus - 16
• Styracosaurus - 18
• Microceratops - 22 (I suggest Homalocephale)

Yeah my only real concern outside of sandbox mode is I'm wondering if the social modifications are available with JP challenge mode cause when it comes to the Rexes, we're back at square one with the game not allowing us to have 2 of them.
nope, in jp challenge mode, everything is as is in the dlc campaign. nothing from dr. wu's dlc and nothing from claire's. just the 25 dinos. but this time with a hatchery. not the arrival helipad as the hatchery. which irritates me so much. especially not having the arrival helipad as a hatchery. using rangers to tranq and then helicopters to transport? why not just use the copters to tranq in the first place. lol
Yeah the lack of the helicopter deliveries is pretty annoying considering the expansion went so far to highlight it.
I could add more but, I'll probably save it for when I try to do the challenge a second time with 1993.
Whoosh..?
Its based on the number presented on the InGen list so I guess it just has to be 16 unless you're going to do the park based on the dinosaur count without proper breeding fail-safes in place.
Also, good news, 39 Dryosaurs is possible but, you're just going to need a lot of feeders to keep them satisfied.
I could be wrong, but IIRC, Dryosaurus is probably also the closest thing we have to Othys.
This does sound like a neat idea though.
Yes it is, but again, I'm pretty sure the "hypsilophodontids" we're in fact Dryosaurus.
