Sabotage "Opened all gates" effed as hell!

[AugustusCaesar]

Okay, am I the only one whose fun was ruined multiple times by that worst sabotage of all? It completely sucks all the fun out of me everytime it happens.

The problem is not that it hurts financially, but it's just incredible tedious, boring and annoying to get all dinos back to where they where, especially if the park is already big. Like having 10 Gallimimus and 5 Raptors.

I hate it so much because it takes too damn long to clean up the mess. Even if dinosaurs don't make it into the guest areas, i still end up having to Transport 10-15 dinosaurs and a bunch of corpses which wouldn't be a problem if transport helicopters weren't so slow and limited.

They need to let jeeps or something else transfer smaller dinosaurs. Helicopters are too slow and should be reserved for the big guys.

Yea, I did deal with it alot myself.

When the Indoraptor came out I needed to do security contracts in Isla Sorna to raise my reputation with them to get it, unfortunately at the cost of the reputation with the other factions. The Science division was unhappy with me and begain to let my Deinonychus and Velociraptors out, which started a gangwar that resulted in every one of my Velociraptors to get slaughtered, so ontop of all my usualy chores, cleaning up dead bodies, the storms, inucbating and releasing replacement dinosaurs, restocking every single feeder, ect, I had to repetedly deal with the sabatage and the dinosaurs escaping. Thankfully i managed to do some contracts to get their sabatage chance low but boy was that a ordeal....

yes, it's a pain, which is why you really need to pay attention to all divisions. don't fall into the trap of "just 2 or 3 more contracts for them to unlock the next goal", it will often end in a sabotage. be patient with building reputation. you can focus on one faction, but never ever ignore the others. 3 contracts for your focus faction and 1 for each other faction seems to be pretty safe.

long story short: sabotage is the punishment for ignoring a mechanic in the game. don't do that and you won't have to deal with sabotages outside of missions, or at least only very rarely.

Yeah, I had it happen and a bunch of dilophosauruses(?) ran into my herbivore area and killed a bunch of my dinosaurs. Since that happened I just started building walls around gates so even if they open the dinosaurs have to go through the wall to get to the gate. lol Makes me have to remove the wall and replace it any time a ranger needs to go in, but whatever. Better than having all my herbivores get murdered because someone in the science team got their panties in a bunch.

Speaking of which, what kind of crap is it that you can focus so much on your security team that your security ends up compromised? I think it would be better to have different things. Like the science team might poison your animals, security might open the gates, entertainment might... not be entertaining. Just something more focused around their field.

Don't let your reputation fall into dangerous levels then...? You can easily bounce between all 3 divisions without any of them losing faith in you. Just don't focus on 1 over the other.

If you have to raise your rep with 1 specific division over the others (to recieve a new dinosaur, for e.g.) consider a 2-1 spread of contracts, don't be afraid to decline contracts out of sequence. Do 2 contracts for the faction you need, and then follow it up with a contract of the faction with the lowest rep. Then do another 2 contracts for the faction you need, then a contract with the other 3rd division you've not done. Keep repeating the process...

If 1 of the other 2 divisions insist on being a troublemaker, just feed them a few contracts out of sequence. I've only been sabotaged 3 times in my entire playthrough, 1 of those was deliberate during the mission on Island 2 which is scripted. The other 2 times I didn't notice a division was slipping away from me.

It totally screwed me on a mission, Entertainment on ... Pena I believe? Had to breed a high rank Rex, then go a certain amount of time without 5 people dieing. As soon as Rexy came out and the timer started, Security opened all the gates and turned the park into an all you can eat buffet for my Raptors and Indominus.

[AugustusCaesar]

Guys, I realize that I have to keep an eye on all divisions. That doesn't mean that if it happens, and it happened to me even when all my divisions where close to half, with one being almost maxed, it isn't extremely annoying and in no way fun.

And in a video game, even punishment for failure shouldn't result in having to do something extremely tedious and boring for a long time. It should hurt, it should set me back, I should not want that to happen, but it shouldn't ruin my fun and work for many, many, many minutes.

This happend to me on Pena during the Security Mission. The Entertainment Division opened all of my gates, I got them all shut except for the T. Rex. Only the rex broke out, (She did this very early, while I was shutting gates so I was already losing money from lawsuits.) I went bankrupt and was losing money fast. Even after manually tranqing and transporting her I was $2 million dollars in debt and losing more. I had to start over on this island, after spending 7+ hours on it.

The thing is I wouldn't have a problem with doing contracts but I'm never in the mood because
1. All divisions give the same contracts.

2. Despite this, the other 2 divisions will be mad regardless of what you did in the contract. (Why is the Science Division mad I completed the Gallimimus genome? Why is the Security Division mad that we went 10 minutes without a power outage? Why is the Entertainment Division mad we raised our park rating to 4.5 Stars?)

3. Contracts are repetitive. its either Take a picture, Raise a rating/guest count/satisfaction/genome, Go "x" minutes without "x" casualties/a power outage, or completing digs.

The fact that there is 7 types of contracts and each Division could give any of them or be offended by any of them is so annoying...

I had this sabotage yesterday on Pena, gates got opened for almost 2 minutes I think. Somehow not a single dino got out

[Kotli]

Well you can always do what I do and build a fence so the dinos are still fenced in only costs ~2k.

As for dinos walking out I only seen carnivores do so when they decide to hunt hummies.

[Moose_knuckle]

I was a bit annoyed but its only happened once in like 50 hours of gameplay so it's pretty easy to avoid

[Richard Siegers]

i always delete all gates and rebuild them :P

Crazy idea. Don't focus on one or the other. Keep 1 mission for each section in your list and complete them one after the other if possible. Since I started doing this there has been no sabotage as each segment is happy with me and their rep is about equal to each other.
