Greetings all. Having more or less 'beat' the game, (completed all the missions & been awarded all the achievements), I've been revisiting & reworking some of my previous parks. Isla Tacano is probably my favourite map in the game. Not sure what it is about it, but I've probably spent more time here than some of the other islands combined.
When I first went back, I sold, demolished & flattened everything and started fresh. My goal for this version is to have as many species as possible, while maintaining a 5 star island rating. Here is my current layout:
Paddock 1: Apatosaurus (4), Brachiosaurus (4), Camarasaurus (4), Mamenchisaurus (4)
Paddock 2: Tyrannosaurus rex (1)
Paddock 3: Carnotaurus (2)
Paddock 4: Dilophosaurus (4), Crichtonsaurus (1), Polacanthus (1)
Paddock 5: Velociraptor (5), Ankylosaurus (1), Nodosaurus (1),
Paddock 6: Deinonychus (4), Baryonyx (1)
Paddock 7: Indominus rex (1)
Paddock 8: Indoraptor (1)
Paddock 9: Sinoceratops (4), Triceratops (2), Edmontosaurus (2), Gallimimus (2), Struthiomimus
(2), Archaeornithomimus (2)
Paddock 10: Dracorex (2), Pachycephalosaurus (3), Stygimoloch (4)
Paddock 11: Tsintaosaurus (6), Corythosaurus (4), Styracosaurus (4)
Paddock 12: Pentaceratops (4), Chasmosaurus (4)
Paddock 13: Sauropelta (2), Torosaurus (2),
Paddock 14: Stegosaurus (5), Chungkingosaurus (2), Gigantspinosaurus (4), Kentrosaurus (3), Huayangosaurus (1)
Paddock 15: Muttaburrasaurus (7), Maiasaura (6), Parasaurolophus (6)
Obviously space is at more of a premium when trying to keep the facility rating at 5 stars, so the food, fun and shopping buildings as well as hotels are taking up a lot of room. I also have a large number of power plants. This is because all my fences are electrified concrete. While I'd like to just have regular fences in places, I feel I need the extra time the high-end fenced provide if my dinosaurs go crazy.
I've tried to design most paddocks with at least one 'spare' so if a dinosaur dies its friends won't immediately go nuts. However, a few paddocks are right on the limit, particularly the stegosaurian enclosure, where all the inhabitants are at exactly their minimum social requirements, while being at exatly the population limit of the stegosaurus.
Here are a few images of what I have so far:
Almost at 20000 guests!
Center view
Right side (staring the hybrids
)
Left side still under construction
Any suggestions or advice for how to use the remaining space (still lots of carnivores left), or rework the existing space? I may have to build a third creation lab to keep up with the perpetual cycle of dinosaur deaths. Even with all of the species engineered with the maximum possible lifespan, i'm still spending 2/3 of my time replacing dead assets.
