No Cash Restriction in Sandbox???

Cash is not a restriction on Nublar?

I dunno bout the other folks; but for me managing the financial resources is what makes a park management sim game gratifying. I wish cash was transferrable between the islands within one "saved game." But that isn't too big a gripe for me.

What is is that I want to have to manage money, or build a park from the ground up with respect to money, even in sandbox mode. I.E. once Nublar is unlocked I do not expect to just have infinite money and not have to worry about ticket sales, etc. I want to have to manage my sandbox park with all the unlocked items same as I would normally; accumulating money through ticket sales, etc.

Basically, I really want sandbox mode to include the necessity of money management. Maybe have a toggle feature; or selection for how much money you start the game with; seems like this would be really easy to do and appease all tastes.

But simply....no money? Infinite money? I am not into that at all. It seems really easy to throw it a toggle/ selection for how much money you start sandbox with.

If money was transferrable between the islands this would sort of negate the question; because then you simply start off Nublar with however much money you have accumulated from the other islands.

Apologies for creating a new thread for this. It seems rather significant and while I posted in the "wish list" thread it seemed like it might get lost and I was curious about other peoples opinions.

If money was transferable people would just farm money on the tutorial island and then just take it with them to other islands. That's not much of a challenge.

To the OP, before you even get to Nublar you will have to manage the other islands, those don't have infinite money!
Isla Nublar is a sandbox, a bonus island, what did you expect?
I hope you also have anything positive to say about this game!

I hope sandbox mode to be customizable, and to have multiple saves of the same island. Because I don't like to stay in the same park forever.

I agree. Of course there should be cash restrictions.
What is the point if you can just build everything you want. I think that makes for a poor and boring game.

It would be great if we could set options for the sandbox mode.

I agree this island needs to be customizable.

I personally want to be restricted by cash as in a "normal" Planet Coater game and a full day night cycle option would be absolutely the best thing ever!

Why am I not surpised that they announced the one feature that everyone wants and now people are nitpicking it to death.

I hope there's an option for both. I'd quite like cash restrictions on the sandbox so I have to manage the park still


But sometimes I might just want to have zero restrictions band just see what I can create.

Yes, many people want the sandbox mode on our islands, but there are also people who were looking for Isla Nublar to recreate a real management park.

I consider myself this way: I am happy because they announced this mode finally, and that it is in Nublar, but I would have liked more than this implementation of sandbox mode to choose between the 6 islands (Matanceros, Muerta, Pena, Tacano, Sorna and Nublar) and not limited to just one island as is are case in Isla Nublar.

This is all just silly, to be perfectly honest with you guys. A sandbox mode is a game mode where we're meant to be free of constraints. They reveal it, and your first wish is for sandbox mode to not be a sandbox mode? Play literally the rest of the game if you want to manage money.

I'm in awe that people managed to find reason to complain about the most requested and desired feature the moment it was announced.

Some people just love to complain, I guess.

Then you don't want sandbox you want challenge mode. In Planet Coaster what you describe is called challenge mode. Which is basically what the 5 other islands are. It's all challenge mode. Nublar is the sandbox island.

Sandbox mode in Planet Coaster has unlimited money and everything unlocked. Challenge mode does not. Though having to unlock everything in the campaign/career mode in JWE so we can use it on Nublar in the sandbox mode is a bit different. But it's still sandbox and I understand that Frontier wants us to play the game they worked hard on for nearly 2 years. This is going to be a game that is going to keep people occupied for a while.

"Sandbox mode" and "Creative Mode" are usually not the same thing.

Normaly a "Creative Mode" is a mode with unlimited money and everything unlocked from the beginning. This is what many people in this forum consider a "Sandbox Mode".
However, "Sandbox Mode" in most other games is something vastly different. It still requires research and management (you usually beginn from the scrach again, with no prior research), but comes without objectives ("Achieve X Rating to win this island") from a campaign game.

It would be great if Bo could clarify what "Sandbox mode" in Jurassic World: Evolution means in the end.

Edit: I've watched the video again. It really sounds suspicously like "unlimited money" on Nublar. I hope we can get a menu about how we'd like to set up the Nublar Sandbox. Unlimited Money? yes/no - research from campaign unlocked yes/no etc.

Personally, I'd love to have a fresh start on Nublar, with little money and no research to start from the scratch and use my experience from the other Islands to show Hammond how he should have done it in the first place. :D But then agian, that's just my personal taste and if Nublar is the "creative mode", I still have the other Islands to play with.

That would be best in my opinion because it gives us the choice and I definitely see where the people that want restricted funds etc. are coming from because just going crazy on everything isn't really a challenge (or perhaps the challenge is to make the park look great?). Either way I'm happy enough as it is, but having the option would certainly add more to the game.

Looks like Frontier are delivering on what everybody is asking for, something akin to the old Site B from JPOG. (At least looks that way from the details we have so far)

A full length campaign mode which then earns you the Sandbox mode, cannot wait :)
