Jurassic Challenges Help

[VSSEMike]

Update: I did the Jurassic difficulty challenge mode based on the film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (which is the "Return to Isla Nublar" challenge) to unlock the data on the lagoon viewing dome. Like the United Kingdom challenge mode, the starting budget is zero. The difference from the United Kingdom challenge mode is that there are no scientists currently employed in the Fallen Kingdom challenge mode. When that challenge begins; it is best to clear all decorations, one of the lagoon viewing stands, all guest attractions but the innovation center, all small and medium guest amenities. Power up the basic structures and bring all the dinosaurs within vicinity safely properly enclosed. Once a profit is made, then hired the research team first.

We are still waiting for Microceratus to be added and I need that species for the Jurassic World challenge mode in Jurassic difficulty.

I will wait till I get more DLCs before trying out the Southwest USA challenge mode in Jurassic difficulty.

I decided try out the Germany challenge mode in Hard difficulty to unlock cosmetics and experienced the restricted maximum species. In Hard difficulty, only 13 species are allowed. In Jurassic difficulty, only 10 species are allowed. I think the issue still lies on the faulty appalling dinosaur cohabitation element.

Dinosaur Cohabitation Amendments for Future Major Updates

Dinosaur cohabitation Parasaurolophus and Maiasaura are now friendly to each other Pyroraptor now dislikes Scorpios Rex and Indominus Rex Australovenator now dislikes Scorpios Rex Since Update 5, there have not been any changes in dinosaur cohabitation. Honestly, it still needs work. why...

Update: since the Cretaceous Predator Pack DLC is being announced, I decided that I will wait no longer. Once I get the DLC, I will attempt the official Southwest USA challenge mode in Jurassic difficulty.

I have a question for all fans and players: what do you say about having automated hatcheries available in campaign, Chaos Theory, and challenge mode (both official and custom) to deal with the aging population?

I thought automated hatcheries would be more economical than keeping the synthesis and incubation teams. There is a possibility that genetic modifications may be forgone in favor of profitability.

Doesn't matter. All the challenges up to Jurassic are doable without it.

Once you get rolling, victory is in the bag.

If that is the case; I will see to the official Southwest USA challenge mode in Jurassic difficulty after I got my hands on the Cretaceous Predator Pack DLC.

Update: Though the newest DLC the Cretaceous Predator Pack does not help much, I managed to complete the last of the "kill two birds with one stone". By completing the official Southwest USA challenge in Jurassic difficulty, I both unlocked the cosmetic genes and gotten the achievement.

The official Southwest USA challenge is sure the toughest of the tough.

Here is a tip to new players: you might have to switch teams so that profitability will not be jeopardized. First, have the research team consisting of 2 x cheaper research, 1 faster research, and logistics specialist. The genetic specialist can assist in research, DNA extraction, and synthesis. During the research process, bring all the dinosaurs wondering the wilds in the map into exhibits. The genome team consist of 2 x cheaper expeditions, 1 faster expedition, and 1 faster extraction.

Honestly, I prefer automated hatcheries in maintain the dinosaur population than keeping the team consisting of 2 x cheaper synthesis and 2 x cheaper incubation.

When it comes to the following likes relationships:

• Majungasaurus and Carnotaurus
• Suchomimus and Baryonyx

Be sure to filter out the individuals with the aggressive trait during the incubation process to prevent fights from breaking out between two species.

Though Tarbosaurus would make an excellent addition in the official challenge mode based on the film Jurassic World and it is functional, I will wait for Microceratus to be added before attempting the Jurassic difficulty challenge.

Here is a complete list of the popularity rating regarding the species available in the official Germany challenge mode:

1 star - Aren't dinosaurs meant to be really big?

• Dryosaurus
• Lystrosaurus

2 stars - I'm sure I've read about them somewhere

• Alamosaurus
• Amargasaurus
• Archaeornithomimus
• Barbaridactylus
• Crichtonsaurus
• Dracorex
• Dreadnoughtus
• Homalocephale
• Minmi
• Nasutoceratops
• Pentaceratops
• Sinoceratops
• Shonisaurus
• Tapejara

3 stars - These dinosaurs are real classics

• Archelon
• Camarasaurus
• Chasmosaurus
• Dimorphodon
• Edmontosaurus
• Elasmosaurus
• Euoplocephalus
• Gallimimus
• Geosternbergia
• Kronosaurus
• Maiasaura
• Muttaburrasaurus
• Nodosaurus
• Pachycephalosaurus
• Pachyrhinosaurus
• Plesiosaurus
• Quetzalcoatlus
• Struthiomimus
• Stygimoloch
• Styracosaurus
• Torosaurus
• Therizinosaurus
• Tylosaurus

4 stars: If I have to name my favorite

• Ankylosaurus
• Diplodocus

5 stars: They're more like movie stars than dinosaurs

• Apatosaurus
• Brachiosaurus
• Mosasaurus
• Pteranodon
• Triceratops

I only completed the official Germany challenge in Hard difficulty to unlock the cosmetic genes is because I have no confidence in completing it in Jurassic difficulty and right now it is not functional.

@Skawt I tried out the automated hatcheries, here are the pros and cons:

Cons

- Incubating an individual dinosaur using automated hatchery is expensive and it eats capital.

- Incubation an individual dinosaur is longer.

Pros

- Better at handling aging population

- It benefits "profit per minute" as there is no need to retain a synthesis and incubation team.

You are right as in "automated hatcheries" not needed for the challenge mode, Chaos Theory, and campaign.
