Buildings & Attractions Lures & avoidance beacons

Your Feature Request / Idea
Just like in Operation Genesis, equipment that would lure and repel dinosaurs from certain areas would be a nifty, even if not essential, addition.

I'm all for it. This is a much needed thing, specially given the limited options to manage the animals.

I would add call boxes or speakers that we can use to emit a certain species "birdcall" in order to attract those animals or play a T-Rex/(other carni) roar and scare them away.

I suppose we'd also consider security cameras and autoguns - for those damn Indominus escapades.

In my opinion the cameras should have an optional thermal view, due to in the new update indominus can camuflate

Yeah, it could be

call again for this as destructible vehicles could require AT LEAST avoidance beacons. Especially if Tour vehicles are subject to destruction too.

Just call the beacons "Multi-Frequency Auditory Repellers" (making them work like in TLW novel) and the lure "Attractant Neurotransmitter". I'll even provide an accurate, if fictional, biological background.

This is not JPOG and it's a very different game. Lures and deterrents like that really wouldn't fit in the mechanics of this game at all. We do not need them.

Besides we're getting flares in the upcoming update to lure dinosaurs away from the vehicles.

Thank you for your empty platitudes. I am well aware that this is not JPOG thank you very much. I refereed to these two items from that game because they are familiar and convey the concept quite well. And I also provided an explanation of why.

Also, that they wouldn't fit this game: lures would work for both visibility and escapes. Repellents would be just as important for escapes and destructible vehicle tours (if present).
EDIT: tour vehicle vulnerability semi-confirmed.

I'm not really sure about lures, but the avoidance beacons I think would be interesting to use in JWE. The argument for their inclusion extends way beyond "it was in JPOG, therefore it should be in JWE," which is a plus for me. In the event of a dinosaur escape, they could be used to deter dinosaurs from densely-populated guest areas. Could be an interesting way to compliment the emergency shelter, since usually what happens is that a couple straggling guests get trampled or eaten, even when the shelters are open.

I know, that's why I only reference to JPOG.
