Viewable dinosaur stat on monorail

[eddiehead]

So I haven't actually played enough with the monorail, maybe someone else can enlighten me. I saw that there is a stat on the monorail for viewable dinosaurs, and the test track I set up covered my second island and went over every single exhibit I had but the number remained at zero

Just read elsewhere that the viewable dinosaur stat is based on the monorail station proximity to enclosures and therefore doesn't matter where your track goes

This can't be right can it? Surely not, because what's the point of using the monorail to loop over enclosures? Plus my plans for the monorail involve transferring people to different hubs, and mainly to transport to and from the entrance and a hotel, but the idea is that I give the guests a tour of the park while they get moved

Anyone with more experience confirm?

When you see the Monorail go around its track, you'll see a "Visibility Circle" that's when it counts the Dinosaurs seen. I personally don't worry about it, as I attempt to have good coverage of my enclosures most of the time, anyway. :3

It's a pretty goofy oversight, really. It's annoying, because the most space efficient use of somewhere like Nublar is to have small, tightly packed amenities hubs with monorails providing the transportation between them and showing the visitors your dinos too, but as it is it doesn't work too well because of this bug. It's already annoying enough, making all your exhibits have a path for the hatchery (although if you can be bothered setting it up you can just have one breeding pen and transport your dinos to their homes)
