General Gameplay Site B

Your Feature Request / Idea
One of the best features in JPOG was Site B. Now Isla Sauna is occupied in the game but why not have a large random island or an expanded Isla Nublar or any of the islands featured in the game. As for the Incubation labs they could be special self powered remote operated facilities that don't require a separate powerplant or people to operate it. The feeders would have infinite reserves and you could toggle whether or not dinosaurs suffer from diseases or are immune. The same goes for weather and the day/night cycle. Money would be infinite.

That's...basically Isla Nublar sandbox.

I assume you have played JPOG's Site B. Although it would have similarities to Isla Nublar Sandbox in terms of the options available. it would be very different. Currently in sandbox you have to connect a Hammond creation lab to a power station, and connect it to your main entrance in order to incubate dinosaurs. I'm proposing that in a Site B version, you wouldnt have to do this, and the Hammond creation labs you be smaller and immune from storm damage. The core concept of Site B is to have an island where the dinosaurs are able to live naturally, and are not confined to enclosures.

So... basically like Isla Nublar sandbox.

It might be a bit of a workaround. But you can just incubate a bunch of dinosaurs, turn off fighting and then let them all free and delete any buildings or fences. It seems kinda redundant what you're suggesting.

So you haven't played JPOG Site B then. Isla Nublar Sandbox is where you build your dream Jurassic World. Site B would be where the dinosaurs roam freely. The suggestions I made are ways Frontier could implement features for Site B. Using sandbox I would still have to connect up a bunch of incubation labs to the main entrance. In Site B you wouldn't have to do that just place smaller versions of the Hammond Creation lab. Also I don't want to turn off fighting but would have to in sandbox. I merely used Isla Nublar as an example but there is no reason why we could just have a flat piece of land and we can create our own island features ideally with an expanded terrain editor. Site B was heavily requested when this game cam out and many people were disappointed when it was revealed it wouldn't be in the game. I don't see why things would have changed.

I did play it years ago. But I found the sandbox mode a bit boring.

I'm all for more options in the sandbox mode we have right now. Like having sandbox on all the islands for example. Or yeah, even a random island could be cool. But much of what you're suggesting can already be done for the most part. And I don't think a new mode is needed. I think expanding on the current sandbox mode makes more sense.

People also need to understand that this is not a sequel to JPOG. I mean obviously its gonna get compared to it. But it kinda seems silly to be disappointed if it doesn't have X feature that JPOG had since this is just a different game.

So, random island or bigger map? Sure.
Options for instant incubation and disabling disease? Sure.
New game mode? Nah.

I like this but would add my own idea. What if we had a special island like a site b and could only get dinosaurs to it via boat or helicopter. We could literally select a drop of point on the beach for a boat to land or helicopter to drop off.

This would also help with another big oddity in the game. Who in the world are we selling our dinos to when we select to sell one?!? If they were normal zoo animals it would make sense as other zoos would get them. These aren't normal zoo animals though and it has always been fairly clear in the movies that other groups would kill to get their hands on these animals.

Maybe instead of selling them we release them to a site b type island as we play and get a reward like in zoo tycoon when they are released back into the wild.

We could then visit this special island every so often and see the dinos arriving and living in a wild ecosystem.

I doubt the game mechanics would allow for this but I feel it is a great idea.

The way I see it, Isla Nublar sandbox is the "do whatever you want" island.

You can create a 5-star park easily, with unlimited budget. You can disable social and population requirements and make a park with every skin for every dinosaur (that's what I'll do once I unlock them all). You can hide herbivore feeders in the forest (look at Isla Sorna) and free a bunch of dinosaurs to see them interact, like a Site B place. You can make it a dinosaur fightclub. You can build a laberynth to test dinosaur's AI. You can...I'm running out of ideas but you get the point
