Even though we’d all like to see a dinosaur
IRL, the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World
movies have shown us time and time again why
bringing them back isn’t such a great idea.
But, I mean, still, it’d be a little cool,
right?
Well hold onto your butts, because there’s
a way to satisfy your dino-revival fever!
Frontier Development has brought us a new
game where you get to build your very own
Jurassic park.
You’re in charge of the operations, the
money, and -of course- messing around with
that Dino DNA!
So to help you create and operate the best
park possible with minimal losses.
Welcome to 5 Tips for Jurassic World Evolution.
Tip #1: Money, Money, Money – MONEY!
First and foremost, this is a business management
game, so you’re going to need to keep an
eye on your income.
With the Control Room, you can see how much
your bringing in compared to the cost it takes
to run the park.
You can also check how well your park is doing
or what areas need improvements.
There are 5 islands to unlock in all, and
each unlocks once you hit a certain star rating
on the previous island – so your guests
will actually need to enjoy themselves!
Besides earning money from visitors, you can
earn it through missions and contracts from
the 3 main departments: Science, Entertainment,
and Security.
Just try not to build too much, too quickly
or you’ll likely run out of money before
you get anything actually accomplished.
Going broke at any point in the game is bad
practice because you never know what sort
of emergency you’ll be hit with next.
If you do find yourself low on cash, you can
deactivate the buildings you’re not using,
which will save on cost and power.
This trick is especially useful when you’re
just starting up on a new island because money
DOES NOT TRANSFER from one island to the next.
But really, you’re better off prioritizing
the stuff that makes you the most money, the
quickest: dinos, missions, and contracts.
Tip #2: Build it and they will come.
People like danger and excitement.
So if you want that 5 star rating, you’ll
need to give guests a healthy dose of different
dinos – which also means you’ll eventually
need to breed the biggest and baddest of the
bunch.
Prep accordingly.
Provide your dinos with proper food, water,
and space.
Also, make sure to build an ACU center which
will let you tranquilize them if they get
loose.
An electric fence will help keep dinos in,
UNTIL a storm or something else comes along
to do damage to the fence, giving them a chance
to break free.
Luckily, there are plenty of upgrades to help
minimize the chances of these mishaps…
Tip #3: Upgrade it.
Again, this is a business management game
– so if you’re not upgrading, you’re
falling behind.
Some of the most important upgrades will be
disease cures for your dinos, but there are
so many different upgrades, you’ll have
to explore them yourself.
Just don’t upgrade everything willy-nilly.
Some upgrades will cancel out the effects
of others, so think before you research.
You can even upgrade your dinos by altering
their DNA before Incubation.
Research will allow you to implement many
different traits, and the more DNA you dig
up of each type of dinosaur, the more you
can customize!
Now, we may all love dinosaurs - but in this
case - if you love them, don’t set them
free.
However, if worse comes to worst, and your
island becomes a giant mess of chaos and death
- you can always restart it!
Tip #4: Just keep doing.
As long as you can afford it, never idle.
Make sure you’re either building, researching,
upgrading, or taking care of your dinos and
guests.
It’s your job to make sure everything is
well stocked, and not broken.
A happy dino, is a dino that stays where its
suppose to.
By the way, If you see red icons at the top
of your screen, check your Map.
This will give you a less cluttered view of
your island and, more importantly, it’ll
let you locate the issues quickly so you can
take care of them ASAP.
Tip #5: Take your Time
While it’s important to keep moving, don’t
rush your decisions.
Take a little time to think about the potential
future outcomes of your choices.
You’ll need some patience anyways because
it’ll help you avoid mindless -and expensive-
mistakes, like getting carried away with landscaping,
or placing your buildings the wrong direction.
Either way, the game will force you to be
patient.
With no way to speed up time, you might occasionally
need to just sit around and wait for money
to roll in.
In the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies,
each park’s creator thought they could build
it better than their predecessor…but if
that were true, they wouldn’t have made
so many movies.
Think you can do it?
Just keep in mind the wise words of Dr. Ian
Malcolm: life, uh…finds a way.
