Have you tried deleting the sandbox save from your console and starting over?

Hey again! Simply building it isn't enough. You need to research the "Tour Rides" node in order to unlock this Database Entry. You can research it in Sandbox Mode if you want, and it's possible to turn off Scientists, and reduce the time it takes to research something.

The team is doing what they can to recreate the hunger/thirst issue. Please let us know if it persists after this patch.

Regarding your frame rate, please get in touch with our customer support team: https://customersupport.frontier.co.uk/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360003552140
 
Thank you so much for adding those defence buildings as decoration in sandbox mode as well, they're gonna be amazing additions to add more detail in our parks :D

Btw, there's a bug I encountered while playing the Site B challenge mode yesterday: the fossil storage wasn't available at all, it didn't even show the icon in the UI even though all the needed buildings where operational and scientists hired. It somehow fixed itself after a save and reload but I've no idea what caused it in the first place.
 
So now all decorations should appear with mixed era, that has been fixed?

I still think we need a style picker tbh. And classic look fences for Jurassic Park style (the movie ones) not modern ones.
 
Hey Jens! I noticed that the team added the missing JWD logos for the dinosaurs all I can say great job. But I noticed that some dinosaurs are missing logos that they should have.


Allosaurus - missing BABR logo appears in the short film.
Archaeornithomimus is missing the JW logo despite being mentioned in the film.
Baryonyx - JP logo (Appears on map of isla nublar) (JP3 mentioned in the film) (JW appears on the website and Edmontosaurus and Metriacanthosaurus aren't missing the JW logos)
Compsognathus -missing BABR logo appears in the end credits.
Dilophosaurus - missing JW appears as a hologram during the final battle.
Geosternbergia - missing TLW appears in Fleetwood RV Mobile Lab as a screensaver.
Herrerasaurus - missing JP logo appears on map of Isla Nublar
Nasutoceratops - missing BABR logo appears in the short film.
Metriacanthosaurus - missing JP logo appears with the Embryos and on the Isla Nublar JP map.
Mosasaurus - missing BABR logo appears in the end credits.
Parasaurolophus - missing BABR logo appears in the end credits.
Pteranodon - missing BABR logo appears in the end credits.
Proceratosaurus - Missing JP logo appears on the Isla Nublar map and appears with the embryos that Nedry slote.
Stegosaurus - Missing BABR logo (end credits) (Missing JP logo appears with the embryos that Nedry slote)
Suchomimus - missing the JW logo despite appearing on the website.
 
This was a mistake, you just can't switch the existing trees for new ones!! You should have added the new trees as their own slot!!! I had a park fully decorated with the old ones, and where there was bushes now has a full grown tree. This is a HUGE disappointment 👎🏻
 
I had an issue in my biosyn sanctuary sandbox where my biosyn ranger jeep got stuck in the JW lagoon hatchery after doing a scan check. Also had a kentrosaurus get stuck right outside the hatchery which prevented the rest of its clutch from releasing. Even when his health dropped to zero from starvation he didn't die. Had to restart my sandbox. I DID notice we don't have to have scientists to research the large substations anymore so that's wicked nice. Couple of the biosyn buildings still seem to be missing their second upgrade slot, specifically the hatchery and hydro power station.
 
I dont know if this is only for me, but when I am doing Jurassic World Dominion campaign after I am done researching the core buildings, it says "Construct an Operational: Response Facility, Paleo-Medical Facility, Emergency Shelter". I can build the response facility, and the paleo-medical center, but I can't build the emergency shelter because the facilities tab is not unlocked for some reason, so I can't progress the campaign. Is anyone else having this issue?
