Canada Challenge mode jurassic difficulty.

Cant get past 4.5 rating at all, is there a bug here?

Hard to say without more information. What are your numbers for Appeal, potential guest numbers and actual guest numbers?

[Lyaranie]

I have the same problem. I got 98% guest comfort, 99% approval, 142% approval, but it wont move above 4.5 stars. My shops are also randomly go back from few thousands of profit to negative. No idea what to do.

It sounds like the numbers of guests going to your amenities is fluctuating then. More guests (by improving park Appeal) or better paths to your amenities might help?

it seems very touchy when it comes to dino comfort, couple injuries or diseases can really hurt guest numbers.

as for stars just go to the screen that shows it and see what you need to bring your income up to

I'm using the widest path (simple, not luxury) everywhere in my park. I'm trying to improve the appeal, but I don't really have much space left. Did manage to get it to 4.7 but still feels far....

Honestly I don't think the paths make that much difference, I stuck with the basic grey one throughout that entire CM level. I did upgrade to the wide one in the really busy areas though but that was less than 25% of the park path.

Aim for dinos with high attraction rates.
Make good use of the monorail.
Make sure there are amenities where ever there's a hotel.
Make sure dinos are visible. Make use of good monorail, hotel and viewing platform locations.
Make sure you have good placement of bathrooms and shelters.
In some cases old small amenities can be replaced with medium or large for the extra income, this can push you over.
When placing small amenities, always consider about upgrade space.

Avoid aviaries. They are buggy and might destroy your entire CM - almost did with me on the last one. If you have one already, keep it. I tried to sell mine fliers and ended up with them getting stuck in the aviary hatchery with the helicopters above, which meant I had no choppers to move any other dinos.


As always keep at least two manual saves. That way if anything goes badly wrong, you have an earlier save to revert to.

I had monorail all around the map. I just finished that challange finally, what I did was basically just placing down more dinosaurs.

Apparently placing down small amenities instead of larger ones proved to be more benefical in some places.

Not sure if I want to play the rest of the challanges in this difficulty, the rating seems pretty bs.

Also f**k Attenborosaurus, they get sick every second.

[Nimir-Raj]

Rating is based purely on income p/minute.

Could be worse, I watched my MVU chase a sick Mosasaurus around a lagoon for 10 minutes (real time) trying to medicate it. It died.

[Lyaranie]

Had the same happen with me and my attenborosauruses plenty of times. Reload solved the problem most of the time.
