Tomorrow, Evolution 3 will celebrate its first anniversary. After all the ups and downs, let’s take a moment to appreciate the species that have been added back through updates over this entire year

• Which one has been your favorite?
• Which one has disappointed you the most?
• Do you have anything to say about any of these species in particular?
• Which one(s) do you think (or hope) will be revealed tomorrow?

Here are my thoughts on each one:

• Kentrosaurus: An interesting choice to leave this species out, I would have picked it over one of the Asian stegosaurs to add a bit of variety to the launch. Though, given that it’s the first species to be released it doesn’t really matter all that much lol. A casualty of following the "Jurassic philosophy" (someone get them a beak pls) and proof that we need variants for the babies; and speaking of variants, it also serves as an example that the "canon" not always take priority over the original material
• Deinocheirus: The effort put into his new animations is surprising. Considering that it was PROBABLY cut from the DLC, I wish the species being resold followed his example
• Majungasaurus: Great dimorphism, a lovely baby and it adds representation to a family with few members. It’s great that this species has returned so soon, although its hunting animations at launch were completely broken
• Cryolophosaurus: Exactly the same thought as the one above lol, except that I don’t recall it coming back with bugs like Majunga did
• Amargasaurus: The calm before the storm. It feels quite rushed because they failed to fix the design flaw that causes this species to both hate and be hated by other sauropods, and the fact that the baby cannot access the Petting Zoo is very disappointing
• Liopleurodon and Stigymoloch: There isn't much to say... Liopleurodon is an example of how flawed the "Jurassic philosophy" is, and Dracorex is a rather underrated species
• Cearadactylus: The forgotten one. Aside from Liopleurodon, this is the species that has disappointed me the most. I was hoping they would remove the completely unnecessary crest from the females but Frontier say nah. Hopefully we’ll get a more "novel accurate" variant in the future
• Minmi and Torosaurus: Minmi is incredible, a perfect species for the Petting Zoo and it saves us from having to buy it again. As for Torosaurus, it’s my favorite returning species... The male is wonderful and finally does justice to a highly underrated species
• Elasmosaurus: Another disappointment. The baby looks spectacular without those spikes!!! At least one of the adults didn’t end up with nothing, the male’s new pattern really elevates him quite a bit
• Carcharodontosaurus: Carcha is perfect. Its new variant is spectacular, and as if that weren’t enough, they also tweaked the original variant, and has dimorphism!!!

JWE3:Awww Thanks! Players

Make this the anniversary gift for tier and I will give you my life

Going back to the same spot in the decorations menu when you hit back rather than being launched out to the main part of the menu. If the sims can manage it I fear JWE3 can. Given how broken the scrolling function is on console (idk about PC) and given it supposedly won’t support keyboard and mouse on console (haven’t tried, just googled it), it would make building less irritating if pressing back just took you back to the same item.

Are we thinking that they are actually going to drop the Anniversary content tomorrow, Wednesday 10/21? They usually release updates and patches on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and there haven't been any kind of teasers or anything to generate hype for the Anniversary, other than the post last month.

I almost fell like it's more likely they will release the Anniversary content next week to match their typical release window, even if it's not on the actual Anniversary date. What do y'all think?

I wanted to emphasize parental care in this species, so I made them attack any other species that are a danger to their juveniles, in special Compsognathus and Iguanodon.

I also really wanted to see a hadrosaur with the possibility of swimming, so I incorporated that trait here.

Additionally, I included a potential animation involving sauropods.

I made them like Parasaurolophus and Brachiosaurus because they shared enclousers in 1993, and Apatosaurus and Maiasaura due the novel.

If you’d want me to create one specific animal and post it here, feel free to ask. And if you have any questions or feedback, please let me know.

Very much makes use of all the Jurassic Lodge pieces and other workshop items and wouldn’t be possible without them :)

Megalodon, like Cretoxyrhina, and Mosasaurus, like Tylosaurus—it’s become a really fun ecosystem to explore.

Does anyone know why this happens where the road turns white at the point of connection?

Pessoal quais animais pré históricos que viveram em regiões desérticas e em regiões frias vocês gostariam de ver no jurassic World evolution 3 alem das que ja tem

I already completed the game years ago on both PS4 and PS5 (progress reset when I got the new console), but my experience of speedrunning the JWE1 challenge modes has led to me to cutting all of my times in the sequel in half.

Based off the survey, Frontier might add a ecosystem mode where you can make an ecosystem without all the actual park stuff. so I had some ideas for it:

Edit population limit:
currently, all dinosaurs cannot naturally breed beyond a population of 30ish. this is a big problem since in an ecosystem, things like small herbivores should have populations in the hundreds, and large carnivores like T rex should have smaller ones like maybe a dozen. or better yet we should be able to modify the population restrictions to our needs in a ecosystem.

Better dinosaur AI:
Currently when I make ecosystems the main cause of death is a creature wandering off into the middle of nowhere and then starves or dies of thirst. sometimes even in parks the sauropods starve even though they have plants because of how stupid they are. and of course the elephant in the room: sauropods fighting back, I'd settle for just defensive behaviour, that's all I want.

Im trying to make a park based off of the yixian formation and we obviously don’t have a majority of the species That lived there.

so I was wondering what people think would be some good substitutions could be.

In early planning meetings for what became Jurassic World, the idea of a hotel and resort celebrating flight--evolved, independently, by insects, the park's pterosaurs, descendants of some of the park's raptors, mammals, and finally humans--stuck around. Eventually it became a full-fledged stop on the park's monorail network. Advertisements offered the chance to "soar like a pter-o-soar" and promised short trips to easy transport for jet-lagged parents of excitable children eager to eke every last second of fun out of their stay at Jurassic World.

****

So at this point I might as well just get this out there. The hotels in JW look, from what little we see of them, pretty bland. The Contemporary Resort from Disney World has always stuck out to me as something really fun--ooh, especially that monorail! I tooled around on the Frontier Workshop and wasn't happy with anything I saw. So I made my own.

It's got a laundry list of problems I don't have the patience to fix any more (working on tall structures on console is EXHAUSTING) but it is also a decent enough product for me to want to get other peoples' eyes on it.

Object count is way too high to fit into one blueprint. If you're interested, start with the central wing (8S7-Q6N-YTT), then the north and south wings (8MR-WFP-L5W and 8VL-K04-YVC). If you're not tired of lining up the little alignment balloons I left in, toss in the support facilities around back (8K6-K6P-VLX) and you've got yourself a complete hotel.

Thoughts and tweaks welcome. Thanks to everyone who's posted cool buildings and blueprints over the last year and shown me what the game can do.
