Unlocked dinosaurs in sandbox since the recent update

Hello fellow park builder

I might be a rare species but I love the unlocking part of JWE.
Since the recent update all dinosaurs are unlocked in sandbox mode. Is there a way to redo that, so I get the accomplishment of unlocking dinos and skins (at least some of them still are locked behind challenge mode or chaos theory)?
Is there a setting for sandbox which I missed, where you can choose between "show all dinos" or "show unlocked dinos"?

If not, please Frontier, do the rare species like me a favor. :p

Thanks & Cheers

Not as rare as you think, I wasn't too pleased with it either. As it made me feel like all my hard work was for nothing. I enjoyed playing through the game, facing the challenges to get everything available, only to have it all go to waste. and some how I'M the entitled one for having such an opinion. I'll always think it was a poor decision, not for business reasons but for alienating fans like you and I. Frontier should have thought this one out more, now there's little to no reason to play chaos theory. This wasn't fair for those who bothered to play through the game and obtain everything.

Hi Murli!

All dinosaurs, buildings and building upgrades are available in Sandbox Mode, but only if you set Research and Expeditions to "OFF" in your Sandbox Settings. If they're set to "ON", you'll start with 0 genomes unlocked, and a handful of available Dig Sites, letting you build a park from the ground up.

Maps will still need to be unlocked by playing through the Campaign, achieving specific milestones in Chaos Theory levels, or hitting certain goals in Challenge Mode. The same goes for the Challenge Mode cosmetics (skin and pattern colours).

Hope that cleared things up! :)
