Aquatics has captured the imagination of almost all of the JWE players, myself included. This post was a topic briefly discussed in my Recreating Jurassic World In JWE2. I wanted to give this topic it's own thread because there are a few things that I and I'm sure many players are wondering or concerned about regarding the lagoon. The concerns below are in no particular order.
1. Lagoon Attachments
First off, I want to say this is a concern on the larger side and has been nagging me personally. I watched TheGamingBeaver's gameplay on the Dev. Build and while he was going through the research, I'm fairly certain it said "Lagoon Upgrades" or "Lagoon Attachments". Does this mean we will get to have the cool extension-like terraces seen in the JW lagoon? Does it include things only meant for the lagoon hatchery? Because I really hope It's the first one.
2. Gallery Spacing
I have no idea if anyone has noticed or posted about the large gap between lagoon buildings. It is a concern of mine because in the first game, you could place the galleries as close as the border, I know the game is still quite a ways away from release but are we going to be able to have the Mosasaurus Feeding Show setup like in JW where the shark feeder in in the middle of very closely placed galleries?
3. Building Lagoons
I wanted to also cover if the extension of lagoons (and aviaries) will be more customizable. Meaning we will will be able to extend lagoon buildings by 8 directions instead of 6 that have been shown in all gameplay videos and other lagoon content. Will we also be able to have a "Beach Attachment" like in JW?
4. Lagoon Terrain
I've seen a number of people talk about being able to terrain the lagoon and if we're able to customize it like the aviary. Will we get another terrain paint with marine plants like seaweed or coral? Are we able to terrain inside lagoons (unlikely)?
5. Marine Species Interactions
Many people have been wondering about how interactions will work between marine reptiles. What happens when we don't give (e.g.) the Mosasaurus enough swimming space? Will marine reptiles attack nearby avian species if they have broken out? Can we fly helicopters low enough to get snapped at by marine reptiles?
I hope I've been able to provide some ideas and hopefully fixes to make the lagoon better than we anticipated. I know the devs. are having a lot of pressure put on them with all these ideas, problems and concerns regarding JWE2. Just take these ideas and possible fixes into consideration.
