Park map
In construction order, the enclosures are
- 3 Ceratosaurus & 6 Velocirraptor
- 2 Baryonix & 12 Dilophosaurus
- 2 Metriacanthosaurus & 8 Deinonychus
- 2 Suchomimus & 12 Dilophosaurus
- 2 Giganotosaurus & 11 Dilophosaurus
- 2 Carnotaurus & 12 Dilophosaurus
- and I hatched 8 more Dilophosaurus in an enclosure built for another big carnivore...probably T.rex, since that was the unlocked missing, but then I realize I already had a 5-star dinosaur rating, so it was facility what was holding me back. Demolished research and fossil centers to make room for an hotel (no pun intended) and BANG! From 3 to 5 stars!

I didn't overcome the variety penalty but somehow make it up for it spamming Dilophosaurus, hahah
Didn't built an ACU center until the first dinos started to die from old age, to remove the corpses. Instead, double-fenced every paddock and didn't have any outbreaks, just some broken inner walls every once in a while...and reload from last save if a tornado set a dinosaur free. Is that cheating?
Either way...
Didn't research electrified fences. Double-fencing is more effective and doesn't consume energy, and tornadoes don't care if a fence is electrified or not. Did research, however, Heavy steel and Concrete wall as soon as available, and as the budget allows it, replace the previous weaker fence.
Each time a dinosaur died it was replaced with an Aggressive instincts 1.0 (and that's the only gene I researched, didn't researched the 2.0 version nor any skin) modded specimen, until then I didn't do any modifications and waited to 100% genome to hatch every one of them..."I can't afford failed incubations" I thought. Researched and applied Success rate at this point, so every incubation had a 100% chance of success. Since I was spamming Dilophosaurus, applied Hatchery capacity to mass-produce them, and Reaction speed when I was incubating the big ones (probably this wasn't neccesary).
Applied Dig yield to Expedition center, Extraction speed to Fossil center and Research cost to Research center. Didn't even researched the other upgrades for those buildings (except for extra research and dig teams).
Before incubating a new unlocked dino, researched every available medical treatment, except for Bracken poisoning. I think all carnivores are inmune to it.
Researched and built Storm stations, Restaurants, Arcades and Clothes shops (I've been told this 3 guest buildings are the one combination that make it easily to 5 star facility rating) and Monorail station in the late game. It is quite expensive...so it had to wait for the Research cost upgrades. No viewing tower nor gyrosphere stations, but I did thought of the first one when I was hatching those last 8 Dilos...
Didn't research electricity buildings, just the Improved output and Outage reduction upgrades.
And...I think that's all.
At one point I received a DINOSAUR FIGHT notification, between two Dilos in the Suchomimus pen.
They weren't uncomfortable in any way (enough forest, enough grassland and not overcrowded) and both were well fed and hydrated (Food and Water were not in red, at least).
It was weird, because I've seen other fights but this was the only one when the dinos hurted each other. Normally one of them panicks and retreat, and there is no notification.
