Dino lifespans

I have to admit, I spent about six hours last night playing this game from when it went live on PS4 at 11pm until the sun came up at 5am. Thankfully I work second shift! I've been waiting for a game like this since 2003, and it's great so far! One thing I've gotten annoyed with though is the fact these dinosaurs don't last very long. I was so close to a 4 star rating to unlock Nublar and all my dinos starting dying. At that point I went to bed and figured I'd try again tonight after work.


My question is, once the genome is at 100% and you progress through the game do they live longer? I can't imagine building a huge park on Nublar and then having to replace dead dinos from old age every 30 seconds! It's a minor inconvenience though, rest of the sim is spot on!

You can modify the genome for a longer life span. But yeah, generally I think the dinos' life is about two days of real time. (Two game sessions, not 48 hours)
I think it's there to keep you going on with research and breeding, otherwise the stock would become stale once you've filled your enclosures.
 
Yeah I've been trying to avoid modifying the genomes until I get to 100% for a dino. Otherwise the viability takes a hit. I probably played long enough last night for it to equal two game sessions so it makes sense!

I played for round 5 hours last night as well and 4 today. Dinos die sooo fast.
Drop like fliiies.
Keeps you busy i guess
