There seems to be some balance issues in the game, which I feel is taking away a bit from the enjoyment of it, and feeling like you're really running a Jurassic Park. It also leads to hair pulling scenarios in some situations which you can get yourself into even while being careful that makes the game literally unplayable where you have to restart, or reload a past save.
- The ACU helicopter being the ONLY way to take down a dino.
I ran into this problem while playing. I waited until I got the first Island to 5 stars before doing anything else. I then went to the second Island. (not the sandbox main Island where the 2 main movies were, even though I had it unlocked) The second island you unlock, with the heavy storms, etc. you need to get through that slowly and carefully at the start. I put 4 Stetho's into it, and waited, built a few shops, and watched the money slowly ever so slowly trickle in. I decided to help boost my star rating, and such I'd incubate 1 Draco as well. Here's where everythingwent south fast.
That 1 Draco had his social meter 1% under. Which dramatically dropped his happiness. and he instantly started ramming the gate. You don't get enough money to start out to build an ACU, not if you are going to put a few dino's out and build up. Especially since you start with -15k income a minute.
So tell me why a ranger in a jeep can't Tranq 1 herbivore... It makes no sense.. small Herbivores.. or really.. ANY Dino should be able to be tranq'd with a Jeep Ranger. WIth the chances of your jeep/Ranger crew getting killed with larger more aggressive dino's drastically going up in danger levels. Even heavily armored herbivores could put up a challenge for them or take much longer to take down with the jeep, but still doable. The ACU Helicopter being the 100% safest naturally since no dino can touch it, still making it the necessity for large parks.
Now I'm waiting with 20k per min to get 400k to build an ACU just to tranq this 1 slightly annoyed herbivore walking around my park and causing everyone to run in terror.... It's honestly quite ridiculous... especially with how docile it is..
- Replenishing food is same cost no matter what.
Another problem I found, was the fact that every time you go to replace, or replenish the food, its the same cost regardless of how much is actually being replenished.
- Size of the maps...
I mean.. really?.... inb4 "Cuz consoles"....
