Natural lagoon !!!
- Thread starter Teclisrex
- Start date
Before we get too excited, is that something we can build, or a part of this particular map?
The natural lagoon's only in a part of this particular map.
Are you sure ?
This is just a theory at this point but hear me out. Perhaps Frontier is actually gearing up to add semi aquatic Mesozoic creatures into Jurassic world evolution 2?
The viewing galleries kind of gave me this idea that maybe Frontier are experimenting with a possible way to connect the Lagoon with the land.
Perhaps the natural lagoons are the first step into adding possible ways to connect the land and the Sea together and the possible emergence of semiquatic creatures.

Considering how restrictive is the building system and how conservative is Frontier about adding new mechanics to JWE2, I would be really really surprised that natural lagoons would be a feature available on any map !
Absolutely, the Steam Store page for the expansion has this information:
NEW LOCATIONS AND BUILDINGS
Create all-new parks containing a range of exciting buildings with a film-inspired theme, including the new Acquisition Centre, viewing gallery, hotel, and more. Seat your ranger, MVU, and capture teams in new-style vehicles, and add fresh decorations to make your parks stand out. Build across three new locations set in the Mediterranean, one of which boasts a natural lagoon. All Malta buildings are available to use in sandbox mode.
But can we breed aquatic animals there?
Good question. Looking at this area in the screenshot it seems like we might be able to.
Hopefully there is an other BIG FAN WISH of many Parkbuilders that coul become Truth!
If This Lagoon has new Plants ( Kelp forrest) and "BIG Underwater ROCKS " it could be my Fafourit Map For "Lostworld" Side B Style isles, and there could be a chance that Placeable Natural Lagoons for at least some of the other existing maps ( f.e. Germany) will come to us in the Future

I think it's something locked to the Malta map. I don't see how it could work on any other maps. It's been a while since I played the game. I doubt you will have the option to build natural lagoons because that would require terrain and building tools that are far too in depth for what the game has available. It's basically like the amphitheater in the San Diego map.
It was already confirmed that it's part of the one map.
Am I the only one who hates the fact that there are preset building slots on the lagoon...?

It's fixed to one map and unfortunately that specific map looks absolutely awful. It's the Lagoon area and a long narrow completely unnecessary corridor that links to a small build area.
Got to be honest seeing how small and badly designed that map is has seriously put me off buying the DLC.

It's clearly not badly designed, but designed with very different goals in mind that you were maybe expecting. The whole point of maps with weird shapes like this is that they challenge the player to create different park shapes. A wide open square wouldn't do that.
Would I have liked more flexibility in how the natural lagoon would have worked? Sure.
But it's still a new interesting map design that we haven't seen in the game before.
It's badly designed. It's two unnecessarily small build areas and a unnecessary worthless dead zone between them when they could quite easily have just made the two into one large one without any negative results.
Even if there's something in the campaign that requires a smaller build area, massive dead zone, or a separate area away from the lagoon (which is all very VERY unlikely) they could easily have just had part of the map locked out like on San Diego chaos theory until the challenge was complete.
Just to clarify so everyone's informed: this map, which is included in the expansion, has a natural lagoon where you can house your marine reptiles. This is a feature on this specific map, and not a new mechanic for all maps.
The map comes with pre-built Viewing Galleries, paths, and a Marine Hatchery. These can't be deleted, but you can remove the paths and redo them if you want to.
Hope that helped clear things up!
