Before you do the claire DLC, tips.

[Ragnarok]

Alright after learning the game.. I have a HUGE tip.

When you are saving the dinosaurs from Nublar, you have to choose 8. DO NOT CHOOSE DIVERSITY.

Pick up the three carnivores and the rest pick up Gallis or Struthios. I made the mistake of being diverse. You will LOSE on the next island. You will not have the money gain to sustain it. I made the mistake of picking a stego up. You cannot put a single stego in.

Do not do this. EVER. Pick up the three carnis and the rest the same herbivore, preferably the smaller ones. Something easy to contain.


Ive wasted an hour and a half and ha ve to go back to my save file BACK eaerly on in the campaign of nublar... in order to fix things.

Edit:

heres all the tips:

1. Pick 8 dinosaurs that will not be impossible to contain. Dont pick diversity. pick up 4 trikes, one galli/struth and 3 carnivores for the money. Pick up the carnivores first as they offer more money in the long run but the trikes first are safe!

2. Constantly make save files!!!!!!!!

3. First five dinosaurs you chosoe are the ones you get early on into your park. Ive not yet had my last 3 get put in.


4. Slight spoiler but your last three dinos appear in the THIRD mission of the sancutary island after Nublar.

I have a question...what is a 'suitable enclosure' ? Because i have my first 5 creatures in enclosures they are 100% happy with, but that little bar won't complete

i went with one of each of Albertosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Brachiosaurus, Struthiomimus, Gallimimus, Anklyosaurus and Triceratops

you got lucky...i think :P didn't have to rush dinos myself since i picked the low social need dinos first be4 the 2 Sinos so i have no idea if incubation % matters, but i'd wager it does.

I picked up four trikes, one galli/strutho and the three carnis.

I made the mistake of getting the herbis first. I have such a low income right now that im relying on the fossils to make me money. Im going to ignore the paleobotany and rush the Trex... I really need an income source. 81,000 a minute is really low. Im struggling lol

it will make little difference like i said before... the problem on sanctuary is that you have the Hammond Foundation fee crippling your income so you kind of are dependant on expeditions at the start even if you get 3 carnis because, like i said, you'll need to build 4 seperate enclosures if you bring all three and each carnio needs a feeder which will cost you quite a lot more money. like on Jurassic difficulty challenge mode there is a reliable solution to money issues: DIG YIELD $$$$ first few were mehh then they started bringing back platinum and palladium, and none of this money will be siphoned away by the Hammond Foundation. and why four trikes?? one is enough... you should have picked the Brachio! big ticket boy and much easier to deal with than any carnivore imo: you can just place it in the same pen as all the other herbis you saved. i merely needed to build one big enclosure to house all my dinos thus less money lost on extra enclosures and feeders which i could then spend on other stuff like vital research and extra dinos.

Doesn't matter now. I finished it. Didn't five star the island, but you dont need ot.

Once you get to sanctuary you can make hatchery's and all the dinos you saved will start at 50% DNA.

I choose Steggo as one of my first 3 dino's but didn't suffer that badly for it.
Was able to set up a hatchery and make another 4 fairly quickly.
I started with Albertosaurus, Carno and Steggo, then got Brachy, Parasaur and lastly Apatosaur Trike and Cory.
Was able to 5 star the island first time without any of my saved dinos dying of old age etc.

Large conjoined boxes works well on Sanctuary due to the large amount of building room.
Make several big box pens in a line, that's what I did.

Screens of my Sanctuary park, My suped up Rex and the Dinos I used to get the 5 stars and the park overview.
I only needed 6 pens.

Carefully planned that T-Rex rating, eh?

I had actually true squares for my beginning 4 enclosures.

Shuffled differently at the beginning, but ended up with 6 Raptors, 7 Sinos, around 6 Ouranos. 6 Stegos, 3 Apatos, 2 Baryonix, 3 Kentros, 3 Polacanthus, 6 or so Stygis, 3 or so Eueueueueueuloloo whatever and 2 T-Rex.

At first I wanted to go for the T-rex buff, too. But they were too equal when I made the actually stronger one. And before I have 2 rabid T-Rex annoy me, I made a second enclosure.

I could've made them vanilla T-Rex, sure, but I went for spamming Herbivores instead. The money you can spend after 2-3 stars is enough and after 4 stars, it got hard to even get low cash, with 2 hatcheries running.

[Teratus]

I wouldn't say carefully planned lol

I more or less winged it as I went, ended up with enough money to make a super Rex and just kept throwing weak ones at it for it to murder XD
I didn't find earning money too hard in all honesty, got a lot of minerals while I was excavating so money wasn't a problem ^^

[Udju]

i took a baryonix, a stego, sinoceratops, stygimoloch, a galli, ankylo... it was hard to breed enough stegos t keep them happy, same with stigymolochs, but i finally managed to do so, but it took some time... now my game is broken because the baryonix always dies of old age at the end of the 3rd part of the mission..., actually i have enough fences and everything just the baryo spoils the game

[The Delta Crow]

I did alright when I chose the Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, Albertosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Struthiomimus, Gallimimus, Ankylosaurus and Triceratops. They are all fine with being alone. (I have completed this DLC on Xbox).
Also, one other tip for people who I've seen getting stuck in the third mission of the Sanctuary Island. You will be told to make Jurassic Tour attraction that goes through multiple enclosures. DO NOT build a JT for each enclosure. The Jurassic Tour track can go through enclosure walls and will automatically create a gate when you build a track against a wall like the Gyrospheres now do so you can have one JT spanning through multiple enclosures. I had it go through three enclosures and completed the objective.

[Sway]

what if I already made the same mistake as you? I picked 2 carnis but also a stego, a stygimoloch and brachi and apato... I constantly run out of money. I restarted the island but it doesn't help, I always end up in the same situation. Is there any way I can restart the dino darting part?? Also, I do not have a save of the first part of the DLC on nublar where we save the dinosaurs. Am I stuck or is there a way I can start over? help!

[_ALuX_]

OP's plan would be solid until you realize just how many struthis and gallis you will need in order to be able to pull off a five-star park. Literally all of these problems with social needs can be handwaved away with simple exercises in prioritization and proper planning.

[BlazeD]

"You will LOSE on the next island"
That isn't how it went down for me. I had 5 different species, no stegos.

[cheshire.raptor]

What I've done so far is to just split the island into three parts. Carnos, herbs and park stuff (ranger stations, research, etc) in the middle. I only have the Carnotaurus and Baryonyx and I haven't separated them. They are both together in a giant pen and are happy, occasionally fighting (but I found they will stop fighting each other if you drive a ranger truck in there as they rather attack it) but for the most part leaving each other alone.

The only time I separated the herbivores is when I had to get the two species to be 100% happy with their diets - part 3. Once I past that one I removed the fence and they are all happy.

I'm currently in part 4 and my only problem is I'm not generating a whole lot of money per minute. So I am trying to get some velociraptor dna and going to create some of those to put out in the pen. Saving the game before I do in case the raptors get a little too big for their britches.

I'm also going to go out in the ranger trucks and start taking photos of the dinos that I have. I rescued a couple of trikes, gallimimus, struthiomimus, pachyrhinosaurus totally forgetting how annoyed I was at the one being lonely and having to grab the whole heard for the last island. Bred three more of them and everyone is happy.

[gregfordyce]

How do you get the Jurassic Tour ride to go into multiple enclosures, as is required on Mission #3 at Sanctuary. I tried ripping down fences, but then the game seems to think they are all one big enclosure. I can't figure this out.

[Obiwan]

If this is true then this is a gigantic design flaw and renders the DLC broken and frankly not worth supporting.
