I do not think the shelters should be built instantly, it diminishes any urgent sense of danger.

From the recent update, small guest buildings such as shops and bathrooms were updated to be placed and built instantly without any wait time. This I found to be rather helpful as they are minor buildings and the quick build time would allow players to better manage the park's aspects such as restrooms, shops, food etc.

However, I do not think the shelters should be built instantly. Shelters should be the exception since it is a security building to protect guests from danger, and simply place in a safe point instantly diminishes any sense of danger. Similar to how fences would take time to be built, security should require a bit more time to prepare in our parks.

I used to like how they took time to be built, I even think they took longer in JWE1, and this is so that the player has to plan ahead when placing security in their parks. It brought a strategic charm of planning ahead when housing more dangerous animals in the park. That way, if let's say a pack of raptors is to cause chaos after a storm hits the park, the player should have been more prepared and invested in some shelters before incubating the raptors to begin with. What do you think?

I can agree with that. It takes away some difficulty in the game for sure and they should at least add a penalty in the game like JPOG did when a dinosaur killed a visitor. Since they’re making the emergency shelters build instantly or they could have a “rush” option where you can spend extra money to rush it and get it instantly.
Needs something along the lines of those 2 to at least keep the game challenging.

I really like the rush idea!

That is a fun way to speed up construction at the expense of our savings. So if you need it done ASAP, you have to pay extra.

Oh yeah for sure. They shouldn’t just hand it out easily, still have an aspect to where the players still have to earn stuff like that. Oh you got the money then go ahead and “rush” the production of the building then if you want to.

Was this tied to the option in the sandbox menu or is it always the case. I'm sure over the last couple of days there have been some occasions where these buildings are building normally and others where they have been instant and I haven't been altering settings. The instant construction/destruction is currently toggled off on the game I am currently using and shops have certainly started to place instantly again. Frankly I preferred the time it took to build as it gave me a chance to configure the shop whilst it was building and hope it's either a glitch with the toggle or they will add them to the toggle. It should be optional for players to use or not if they are making changes to gameplay like this in my opinion.

I feel like the shelters/amenities/restrooms would've been better off as their own setting in the "instant building" sandbox toggle.

After some time with custom challenge mode... I would love to see the return of the guest amenities being built.

I would love for it to be an option for Custom Challenge/Sandbox mode. I understand the benefit of seeing the needs of the park being met instantly by having it be built immediately, but I miss that wait time as it made me think ahead when building my park. I especially would love it if shelters took longer to construct so as to tech players to build them in preparation for danger, not when it is happening.
