Can't get the Mamenchisaurus

[Jack152009]

So I have maxed out Science division on Isla Sorna, but still no missions that have given me the Mamenchisaurus. What to do?

[E c h o]

have you completed your science mission on isla pena? if you did, go to the control center and go to missions, then click on science and start your mission! (if you have not completed all your previous science missions then you can't start your next science mission)

About the Mamenchisaurus: I had no problem unlocking it. The issue is actually the mission for the division.



I've to say that the science mission on Isla Sorna WAS THE WORST in the entire game.
Probably also the worst mission I ever had in a game.

Simply as you had to do something which cannot go well, and it's even more annoying that this is a mission of the science division. They should know better.
Following task:

2 Pentaceratops (actually 3 as 2 go mad of too less socialism).
3 Kentrosaurus
4 Triceratops
2 Apatosaurs
1 Metriacanthosaur (Carnivore that is happy to fight Ceratops).

All of them have to be in the very same enclosure for 5 minutes.


It cannot go well as the population is too high for the Pentaceratops. They simply freak out and break through the walls.

This mission actually demands that you build a specific enclosure just for it with more than one fence, as dino rampage is unavoidable.
I did it yesterday but it was plain awful. For this particular mission I had to increase my biggest enclosure and put the herbivore feeders (tall and ground) on one end and the carnivore feeder on the other.
They still met each other, so I had to use the ACU Heli to knock them out and get them back in place.
The worst were the 3 mad Pentaceratops'. They broke out almost everytime. When there were only 30 seconds left all 3 of them were about to go for the fence. XD
Well, at least they didn't got through within 30 seconds.
Was a hell of a ride...



Right now, I have a few locations and characters not unlocked. I guess these are tied to the game achievements as I have unlocked everything else.

So I am gonna build a chilling park on Isla Nublar without storms, disease or dino rampage to get the last bits.

You can lose a dino on that mission and still get it. Let a Pentaceratops kill the Metriacanthosaurus. The Penta's will be a problem, so make enough to stay happy, the Trikes will not be happy about population but if the enclosure is big enough they will be slow to reach breakout threshold. My enclosure was huge, divided while I got all the dinos out, as soon as I opened the fences to connect them the timer started

WHAT?
Damn I got tricked on that one.

I guess it was on another island where all dinosaurs involved in a mission had to survive and I couldn't see any hint ingame on this Isla Sorna mission, that it's not bad when a dinosaur of that mission dies.
So I simply didn't want to lose any of them. oO

Ok, thanks for that hint. Even if it is too late, I have to rephrase:
It's not the worst mission, when there are some dead mission saurus' allowed.

Hm, my Trikes were happy about the population.
The Penta were actually the ones that freaked out about the population.
Apato and Kentro were the easiest ones, except the Apato wants much forest.

I also had 4 enclosures available. So I started to create them in different enclosures to keep them on 100% comfort.
Then I used the ACU heli to knock them out and transport them all into 1 enclosure with 100% comfort.
This either gave me some bonus time.

Yet it would have been much easier when I knew that it's ok to lose a dinosaur.
