Enclosures

[No Guy Buy]

This is definitely a stupid question but I can't find an answer anywhere.

How the hell do I create dinosaurs in other enclosures. Do I have to tranq them and have them moved every time or what?

with the start of the second isle u can build unlimited producebuildings.

How else?

Would you have a caretaker leash a T-rex to walk it to it's enclosure, or teleportation?

You can build new hatceries but it's very space inefficient and expensive.

Oh yeah, first island you need to do a few missions before you get free reign.... IF you're still in the tutorial phase, completing it is a good idea

[Sorcerer Mickey]

either tranq and move them (cheaper and more space efficient) or build another hammond creation lab onto the side of the new exhibit

Just seems insanely inefficient to have to do that every time. Kinda wish that I could just create eggs or something and have them put in the enclosure so they could hatch there.

I guess having just one hatchery with just a small enclosure would be the most space/cost efficient way, then fly all of them from there to what ever other pens you design.

Even from a realism point of view, that seems extremely dangerous.
Even in high tech environments you'll have incubations fail. Imagine dumping live eggs on the ground and leaving them there to hatch.

This is what I do. I have 1 or 2 small enclosures where I breed them and then fly them where I want them. (2 because sometimes I want to breed carnivores and herbs at the same time, but 1 is enough.
And then one at my "fight pen" LUL because that one needs dinosaurs replaced... A LOT

Just place down a hammond hatchery building and build the fence around it. The fence should auto snap to the side of the hatchery when your placing it.

[[RNBW] Quick_Shot47]

just build another Hammond Creation Lab at the new enclosure, or at least one enclosure for herbivores and one for carnivores

Cool cool. Guess I'll do that. Thanks for the help

I built a sort of dinosaur corridor with parallel fences. On each side of the corridor are separate enclosures with separate gates. Once the dino hatches and is released into the corridor I open the gate for their paddock of my choice.

That's smart as ♥♥♥♥

You see what I do when there's not enough room in the area I want my new exhibit or I want to optimize my space

I build a small cage around the entrance of the Hammond Creation Lab, sealing it off from the rest of the exhibit. I bring my ACU helicopter over it and once the Dinosaur has finished his intro I tranq him and transport him over to a new exhibit

Likewise if I've made a huge exhibit where on one side there are Meat Eaters and the other side Plant Eaters and a giant fence line splitting the exhibit down the middle

I simply remove a section of my cage that leads to the other side and release the Dinosaur before closing it up and doing it to the other

There are limits to how far you can push this because once the race gets too long the paddock at the far end is outside the dinosaurs area of awareness so it becomes hard to get them moving.

But it is a great way to economise on hammand labs while still avoiding the constant airlifts. With the right layout its pretty easy to cluster a set of exhibits around a single hammond lab. Place a small pen imediately outside the lab with gates into 4 different exhibits and then just open the gate to only the exhibit you want each time you are about to release from the hatchery.

this is what i did at first then switched to a central breeding location with helo to move them to their designated area. space is almost always your biggest issue i found so having a lot of space for dino alleys ended up not being worth it imo
