Money exploit ?

I don't think this "features" are intended:

- Once you unlock a new island (and have rarely any money there) go back to the first island. Start some expeditions, gather a bunch of those things with no DNA, switch back to the new island and sell them there.
- Same works to save money on the new island by going back to the first island to start expeditions and research. Especially with some of the more expensive researches (2m+) this is literally research for free.
 
Just learned that digsites deplete permanently even after you unlock new dinosaurs, so be careful about employing this exploit. If you mineral-farm stuff to sell on your new islands, you might deplete the site only to learn t-rex fossils can be found there later on in the campaign.

Do old sites get new dinosauriers DNA later at all ? I was under the impression that you get new dinos only by unlocking new sites through more excavation bases as you can already see locked sites and their DNA

Yeah, Chungkingosaurus unlocked later at the same site as Huayangosaurus was on.

Same as Dracorex been added to I think He'll Creek.
 
I was actually going to post about this last night, but then when I removed the fossil site from Muerta and went back to Matanceros to extract some DNA it said I couldn't because I didn't have 2 fossil centres so there is some level of still needing to spend money on the other islands

I thought it was a bit of an exploit at first because I was going to do everything you just said - particularly with research, considering I have 45 million plus funds on Matanceros. I didn't do that in case any contracts required research. And to be honest I thought about doing it because my funds were seriously close to zero on Muerta, but then once I calmed down and went through logic it didn't take me long to get my income/minute up to over 200k, and now I'm sitting at over 3 mill comfortably

I do think it's weird though, and I'm not really sure what the best way to fix it and lock it off would be. My saving grace is that I still need to build all the things I research, and I imagine those things (monorails, towers, higher value dinosaurs) will cost a lot more to place than they did on Matanceros so I kind of think it is a bit by design
 
Doubt it's an exploit, it's not like money is difficult to get.
Sitting on $10m on my first island (250k/min); doing 5k/min on the second island without about 10min of getting the site up and running again.
