I'm not sure if this is where this type of request should be put so I'm posting it here until further notice. And I hope that the Frontier team sees this because this issue is a huge problem.
I recently started trying to go through all of the challenge modes in order to unlock all of the skins. I decided to do Isla Sorna in JP era as I figured that era would work best for the island. My plan being to make one of the prongs of the playable area into the center where my buildings were and turn the rest of the island into one long safari. However, when I started the mode, turns out that the game starts you out with a ridiculous $250,000 Hammond Foundation Fee. From second one. No other mode begins you this way. This makes doing this mode pretty much impossible since you are out of money with no way to acquire income within 10 minutes. I thought that maybe this Island starts you out with such a high fee because there are already dinosaurs on the island. But this is not the case if you play the mode in JW era.
While I understand that I could do this challenge island in JW era (which I will have to do until this issue is fixed), this should be MY choice. I should not be limited on what era I can finish an island in because one of the options has been made impossible. $250,000 HF fee is an amount you wouldn't even get on other islands until you hit the later portion of your playthrough. This seriously needs to be fixed. These modes are supposed to be challenging, not unreasonable.
I appreciate any Frontier reps who may see this post and I hope this issue is addressed soon. As difficult as they are I really enjoy the challenge mode and this really bummed me out. Thank you for your time.
