The Hanson Formation is Underwater because Antarctica Doesn't Exist

[Mjmannella]

As visualized here, the Hanson Formation, where Cryolophosaurus is located, is found in where is supposed to be the continent of Antarctica. Unfortunately, Antarctica isn't on the map. This is a very glaring oversight and I hope that it will be resolved at some point!

Thanks for the report Mjmannella! The team's been made aware and will look into it. For now, you can still unlock the Cryolophosaurus by capturing it in the final Campaign level (if I remember correctly).

It must be, I remember we found it in the campaign.

Hi Jens, I wanted to ask if this rather big and annoying error/bug will get fixed with Update 1. Nothing was mentioned so far concerning this issue

I just wanted to point out that yesterday I played the game in challenge mode and I picked Hanson formation in Antarctica and that urgent message thing that shows up during challenge mode appeared claiming the fossils were held up at customs, but Antarctica does not really have any customs because it does not have any local, regional, or state government because the Antarctic Treaty System forbids countries from controlling any part of Antarctica, except for research bases used for scientific research purposes. Its governed by the Antarctic Treaty System and, in turn, international laws. Also Antarctica is still not on the expedition map for some reason.
Can you please fix these issues?

We have nothing to announce etc etc

There is still a customs thing there that can get you in massive legal issues...it's normally to stop people from bringing things in, but it's still a customs type thing...

I remember a news thing a couple years back about a christian group ending up in trouble with them over mustard seeds that were intended to be scattered.

Also, I forget exactly how it's phrased, but could the customs event also just as easily be on arrival to where the park is (US, Canada, UK, Germany)? I'd expect things running smoother literally anywhere but bringing things into these countries.

It's a way for us to add a bit of additional challenge to Challenge Mode. I don't think this is something we're going to change.

I like it as well, I think the request is more about renaming it so its more logically sound rather than removing this challenge.

@SotF Thanks for the information. I didn't know about that. I also can see @Aramus418 point, which didn't occur to me when made that post. Still, I'm hoping down the line the developers can add Antarctica to the expedition map so the Hanson formation does not appear to be underwater.

Yeah, that would be nice there.

 

[Mjmannella]

The current update version is 1.2.1 IIRC. The digsite map still doesn't have Antarctica

 

[Jens Erik]

Has Antarctica been added to the map with Update 3?

Antartica isn't currently on the Expedition map, but the Hanson Formation digsite is available, so you can send out Expeditions for Cryolophosaurus fossils.

Well personally I hope Glacialsaurus also appears in this formation from Antarctica in the ocean.
But in a serious note I think the frontier team will resolve this in the future I doubt that they're not considering putting Antarctica on the map but you know I'm hoping that another certain dinosaur appears in this formation anyway.
