Need help starting off to the game.

[Spray]

So I've just started and I picked the Scientist route (don't know which is best ti choose at start) and I did the begginer stuff for that but I was losing 6k per month so I tried building a fast food/gift shop but neither are making any money. How am I supposed to make money ://

There is no real route, while you cannot have all 3 stats at maximum, because 1 will affect the other 2 you can get very close to maximum on all 3 at the same time. My advice from the start avoid contracts to reach a certain customer level or park rating just take contracts to release dino's with a certain mod etc , you can incubate these in any lab as soon as you release tranq and sell it. To make money sends expeditions out and sells fossils.Once you get the money rolling in from Matanceros make this your primary island so send ALL expeditions and do ALL research on this island, but sell fossils etc from other islands to boost thier start income. This is very very helpul when you unlock Isla Pena, As soon as you can upgrade the expedition centres speed and inventory cap do so.

Thank you, I'm starting to get the idea of it now, I picked entertainment on this run and that helped a lot as it taught me to put down gift shop and food etc. (Ik im a noob)

If you go with security 1st you get the expedition centre, very good for making money not sure if its the same for all 3, I think I played for about 3 hours learnt the game then restarted matanceros, I have all 5* islands and I have just tranq'd and sold all dinos on Matanceros sold every building and am gonna rebuild all islands now.

Make sure you have dinosaur visibility. If people can't see your dinosaurs, then they won't want to go to your park, and the solution is actually kinda simple. You can simply place observation galleries along the edge of the cages, and then generally, this will raise your dinosaur visibility. If you click on the eye icon underneath the map icon on the left side of your screen, you can see different options to choose from. Click on the binoculars, and these will show you the radius' of where your dinosaurs can be seen from. It will also give you a visibility percentage.

Once you've done research, you can build monorails and observation towers. Both of these can help increase visibility. The monorails generally have to be running through a dinosaurs habitat in order to see them, and luckily they are high off the ground, and thus, not an security issue. Monorails will raise visibility, and make it so people can get from place to place faster, which will also raise your income because nobody likes lots of walking, even for dinosaurs. Building monorail stations will make it easier for people to get around, and so more people will like your park.

You actually dont have to have your dnos visible to get ratings up. Ive gotten 4 islands to 5 stars by just putting the resturant, arcade, and clothing store by hotels.

It can help a lot though to make it so people can see your dinosaurs. Otherwise, its pretty much just keeping animals that aren't making you any money.
