Contracts preview

[freedoe]

Is there any way to preview a contract, before accepting it?

I mean, you only get kinda shallow info about what exactly they will need,
like "do some new science" or "up your park rating" but it doesn't say, what to research or how much ratin-up they want.

Only in accepting such a contract one knows the details. Tha's kinda "meh", a goat would say :-/

I would like to know what I am singing for on contract-offer, like it would be in any normal business-condition,
otherwise it gets binge-save-loading all the time..

And with this game, nevertheless how much I like it, it's too much binge-loading anyway for all the little inconveniences it has with controls, placement and lack of information.

Or am I missing something? Is there a "preview" on contracts (in challenge mode) ?

sorry, if the question is answered already -
I looked, but found only info about JWE1 and the contracts there..

thank you ;-)

edit: if there ain't no such preview, I would be very glad, if someone tells me ;-) is this games community still active ??

You can usually guess what the task of the contracts on JWE2 will be from the picture it shows.
For example if the contract is to "Construct something new" and it shows an image of a Hotel, a Monorail or a Viewing Platform, it'll generally be telling you to build exactly that...
Another example would be Photography, if it tells you to take a photo of your Dinosaurs and it shows an image of a Dinosaur drinking or a T-rex and Spinosaurus Fighting, then it will tell you to take a Photo of a random species in your Park doing those exact things... xD

I never take up the Contracts that tell me to boost rating, guest numbers or improve revenue as they are almost a complete waste of time and the cash given doesn't at all make up for the effort needed to complete them. The only time taking up a revenue/guest count/star rating contract is profitable is during a storm, especially towards the end game of a Challenge mode as chances are you'll have about 4 Stars on your park already... Once you get a Storm the rating will drop by about 1 or 2 stars depending on the damage or just general loss of guests (which also makes you lose cash since obviously less people = less cash, etc, etc...) and when you hit that stage activate either of those 3 types of contracts and it'll sort itself out once the Storm passes.
I also never take up the Sell Dinosaur contracts as they are completely useless... The only time you should accept these is when you are in dire need of cash with spare Dinos you can flog off.

JWE1 is a complete guess game for the Jurassic World Era but you can usually farm Dr Malcolm's Contracts in the Jurassic Park Era as he will always give you the easiest (but sometimes most time consuming) tasks to complete like: Don't let Carnivores Kill an "X" amount of Guests within a 10 minute timeframe or Improve the Park's Guest Emergency Shelters/Storm Protection from an "X" amount of percentage to "X" amount of percentage, so 20% to 80% for example.
It's a great way to start up an income on Jurassic Difficulty when there is 0% chance of risk to your guests. You don't even have to have the park open for you to accept Dr Malcolm's contracts so unless you're trying to beat the Faster than a Biped achievement (Complete a 5 Star Park on Hard difficulty or higher in less than 4 hours), it's a great way to build a solid foundation.
JWE1's Jurassic World Era however... Nah, you're just gonna have to suck it up and cancel contracts if they don't appeal to you or your situation.

Whenever choosing a contract on either one of the 2 Evolutions, the best option is to always take up the passive income ones or ones that can take 2 minutes to finish as you can focus on important things while that makes money for you with little to no effort.

Sorry if I went a little off topic but hopefully this will help you out on choosing what types of contracts you are wanting to take before accepting them xD

Thank you very much, that was rightup topic ;-) and very helpful !!

Playin' only the first challenge for now (Canada) but for the third time ... I already kinda guessed these pictures and recognised the drinking dinos giving you the drinking-photo-contract etc but - mea culpa - I should have guessed this for the other contracts too.. where was my head?
This shines no colourful wisdom lights on me, I'm afraid, but that's how it is ;-)

Still, if I'd lead a part of a coorporation and get contracts to choose, I wouldn't sign any contract I do not know the exact details of,
what, as far as I know, would be normal business practice. Have to wrap my head around this and take it as a "spare" challenge.

And "picturing" a contracts-detail, it will do;
singin' praise save / load mech's, too
;-)

thanx again !!
