All dinos in one giant paddock! Jk that would be awful. Ian Malcom may appreciate the chaos though 
How would you organize the park's enclosures?
- Thread starter DinoTamer
- Start date
Kinda like my first planet coaster park, that looked so bad but I had a ton of fun.
I definitely plan on having a flock of Struthiomimus in my rex paddock. Will give the guests a real glimpse at hunting
I have a park in planet coaster right now and it's just one long strait path. Not much effort put into making it look nice. It's sad. lol
No…Struthis are too lovable to be slaughtered…
Mine will go with Indominus and Archaeornithomimus. Since Owen said she needs friends, I’m gonna introduces IndoRaptors to her. If they don’t behave, I may surround them with T-Rex, Raptors, Spinosaurus, and Mososaurus on each side.
UnseatedDonkey’s idea of Incubator-paddock design is cool. For other enclosures, depending on available spaces, and the ability to construct overpass pedestrian bridges, I’m thinking of a modified version with 4 to 8 enclosures surrounding the incubator in a circle.
At the center, beside the incubator, there will be essential buildings like Ranger Station, ACU center to go along with restaurants, souvenirs shops, and probably emergency shelter.
The inner ring of pedestrian path will be a high overpass bridge – able to see through all the enclosures from above. The path connecting the inner ring and outer ring will be viewing vents. The outer ring will be a JP Safari ride in a looping circle!

Without playing the game and not seeing how the dinos' interact i can not say how i will organize my dinos' but i do know i will do my best to conceal all maintenance/none attraction building from eyesight of my guest. Hopefully that could increase my score since the vacationers wont see any eyesores and can enjoy their stay more. Just a thought!
One of the aspect that I start to think is how I will manage the creation lab.
From what I understand one lab will be able to produce any dinosaur (when researches are made) logically this building should be expensive (to build and to run because of all the scientists. I hope it is!).
My guess is that you shouldn't need more than one in the park to limit costs, so I start to think of a model with a "entry-lock", it's like a safe zone where come the output of the creation lab. From there two exit possible (main gate to release to the valley or transport-helico for release in another enclosure).

Exactly what I was thinking also!
I was considering keeping everything separate but I read somewhere that dinosaurs have a score attached to them based on if they win fights/are interesting to park guests; so that got me thinking I might have giant enclosures that are chronologically and geographically accurate. I'll have a North American Cretaceous enclosure and a North American Jurassic enclosure...basically just keep everything as realistic as possible and hope that the expense of the Herbivores dying at a higher rate pays off in the form of photographs of carnivores paying more/more park guests or whatever. It all depends on how the rep system works but aye I feel like this will be a super fun way to play and then we'll get to watch more hunting behavior as well as see how the scarring mechanics work
Good news here!!!
That really is a good idea. They are cheap and truly are expendable with such a dismal guest rating. I remember from the event gameplay the cost 34,000 compared the Ceratosaurus's steep 870,000. Im honestly probably going to do that along with the goat, and considering as far as we know the dead Dino's are airlifted, not rangered this sounds like it really could work great!
Well ... I would say it depends on the Species ...
My Triceratops will be modified to be aggressive, because I want them behave closely like Rhinos. So they will be on their very own ground.
I could see Gallimimus and some of the Hadrosaurs could work together in a wide grass-area with a Lake.
Of course a goat farm is going to happen on one of my islands XD
One other thing is important to me. Jurassic animals are in one area, triassic in another of their own. Same for the Cretaceous dinosaurs.
So most likely my sauropods won´t meet the hadrosaurs, because for example Brachio is jurassic, but Parasaurolophus is cretaceous =) that meants there´s no match in my eyes

It depends on the island. On one island, I'll be grouping the herbivores together by continent (i.e., Chungkingosaurus and Tsintaosaurus in the same enclosure); on another island, by geological era (one big enclosure with all the Jurassic herbivores, one with all the Cretaceous herbivores); and on another many separate herbivore enclosures for all the stegosaurs, all the ankylosaurs, etc.
