Hammond Foundation fee

good day to all,

it's been a while since i've posted (actually it's been a while since i played really).

so quick question, as the title says, is the hammond foundation fee only on challenge mode?

i know it's only a week when 1.4 goes live, but i haven't read anywhere about this mechanic appearing on the five deaths. because personally i love playing on the five deaths, nublar is good and all because of it's size, but the five deaths have more unique scenery, plus we can change their time of day now (morning on muerta yey). especially if you add this mechanic on islands such as sorna, pena and muerta were they have storms happening, it's a good balance imo.

but then these islands would become "unintentionally" like challenge mode now wouldn't they....so anyway, if the developers read this hope they can give some insight on the decision making process.

cheers guys :)
 
Good question. I want to know the answer too!

I like my Five Deaths more than anything (hehe…the fact is I haven’t started Nublar yet). I wish all the sandbox settings (except the weather) can be applied to them as well after we five-star them, just like the time of day setting.

As for whether the Hammond Foundation Fee should be applied to the Five Deaths, I got a mixed feeling. On one hand, making them difficult is good. On the other hand, I would rather be a selfish billionaire, skipping taxes when there is no benefit in return.

Thanks for the questions!

Yes, the Hammond Foundation fee only exists in Challenge Mode :).

Hope you're excited about the update!

I don't see the foundation payments being too much of a problem. As it is, money is very easy to come by so all it amounts to would be a percentage taken from each dino's revenue. Not sure it'll change the meta very much, although it might extend the "half hour of poverty" at the start of the map.
