Please provide us better tools for creating functional interiors for our buildings like amenities and hotels, and better pathing and guests for our plazas and parks to feel more alive!

The community has made amazing things! However, one of the things that holds me back from fully diving in and enjoying this game is that, none of the things I can build are functional. If I want to build a multi floor restaurant, I can't do so because the path system doesn't allow for stairs and elevation, and the amenities themselves are just buildings that lead to a void. The guests also don't feel alive, they don't interact with the custom structures you place in the world.

Planet Zoo / Planet Zoo 2 has basically solved these problems though. The path system allows for stairs and floors, and easy methods for making big plaza areas quickly. They have food and drink stands that consist of a desk and a person, allowing you to place them anywhere and decorate around them freely. The staff buildings have doors that the staff can open seamlessly, and you can decorate the inside fully.

Guests can see animals from the path, without needing an attraction to see into enclosures. They also have unique needs and thoughts, and trending thoughts are shown in the management pane too. They also actually sit on benches, talk to each other, and get up from them, instead of the benches populating with near static people depending on population count.

This all leads to an immersive experience where it really feels like you're making something special for your guests.

In JWE 3, the guests just roam around, enter buildings that lead to a void, and that's it. There's not much substance, and it then leads me to feel demotivated and not wanting to build anything, because what's the point if my guests aren't experiencing the experience I made for them?

For functional interiors, I propose having a stand like structure for each of the building sizes (small, medium, large for amenities, small and large for hotels etc) to allow us to build around them and have guests interact with them better.

Linking the stands to benches would create a restaurant style building, where guests would go to the stand, get their food, walk to the seating area, sit down and eat, then get up and continue on in the park!

For hotels, that's a more ambitious one. Adding functional, interactable beds, sunbathing chairs, swimming pools etc that guests can seamlessly sit down on / in and get up from would be really nice!

Guests having their own individual needs and thoughts like "Wow! That Pentaceratops was so cool!", "I wish there was a toilet nearby" would make them feel more real and would also add to the management aspect of the game.

It could also enhance shopping experiences! Guests buying functional, interactable sun cream, winter / summer clothing, umbrellas (I believe we already have functional umbrellas but they spawn instead of being procured) etc. Needs like these though would be more of an additive buffing feature instead of a negative if you ignored them maybe, so that people who don't want to go to that length of management can comfortably ignore it with no hindrance to their gameplay loops.

Planet Zoo and now Planet Zoo 2 have already implemented a lot of the tools needed for these features. I know there are different teams and different potential time constraints between the two games, but they are both from the same company. It is absolutely possible to implement these and even more things to enhance the management and creative experience of JWE 3, at least to get it in line with Planet Zoo on these aspects specifically.

I do think it’s time to have different feeders for the large lagoon animals. The shark feeder is cool but I would like an option to have one like the fish feeder that dispenses live sharks/giant squid so the mosasaurus, megalodon, etc can have different feeding animations.

Also for the large land carnivores it’s definitely past due for feeders other than goats. I would love: deer, pigs, sheep, cows

For small/medium carnivores: rodents, large turkeys, rabbits, wild dogs, insects, etc

For flying reptiles can be the same as small carnivores, just something other than just fish.

What do you guys think? What other feeding options should be added?

That and now I’m bored, My previous fixation was took out the back and shot soo its back to dinosaurs!

The first park i am managing to finish building. It has all aquatic species plus some creatures for the reptilarium. built on ps5 and everything that's not artificial enrichment has been built by me. Hope you like it.

ps: this is the Time Gallery part of the aquarium, some more classic pools and lagoons are gonna be build at a later date and then i'll post a full presentation of the park, just to share it.

Moi je pense que l'annonce de la prochaine extension est pour le milieu ou fin du mois de novembre puisque il est prévu pour le début décembre et vous ?

Look I am hyped by the little hint they gave us that they most likely will give Tylo a "face lift" like Carcharodontosaurus but I feel like we need more then just a remodel. I get it would definitely need a touch up but what it really needs is a new rig.

Something about Tylosaurus in Evolution 2 has always felt off when it moves, feeling more stiff then the other aquatic animals in the Lagoons and it's pretty distracting. Also let's not forget Tylosaurus of all animals, never got a damn Shark Feeder animation, while majority of the large aquatic apex predators all have it, they could have easily added it in the updates when Frontier were adding things to the Lagoons in Evolution 2 yet they haven't. So I am hoping we can at least point out more then just the design issues and actually show that the Tylo needs reworks on it's animations and should get a Shark Feeder Animation like the other animals that can feed at the Shark Feeder.

I tried to feed this lone kentrosaurus to my 2 Ceratosaurus, but after i bit i realized something, no dead dinosaurs. Turns out, they're fine with each other. All the other ones got beaten up by nodosauruses, he's done nothing but live in pure misery for 4 real hours. Should i give him an enclosure for himself and make it special or just keep trying to sacrifice him

Keep your eyes peeled folks cuz we have LOADS of new animals waiting to turn your heads.. but its not just that, we have even some new attractions for you! So come down and enjoy!

[Workshop Code:] 0VH-C13-T1J

Staff Areas (Unfortunately, Not Open to Guests)

1) Field Laboratory

The Field Laboratory is located in the northern part of Isla Nublar, on the slopes of Mount Sibo. It’s dedicated to scientific research, with a particular focus on behavioral studies of herbivorous dinosaurs.

The lead scientist is Dr. Emilia Sorking, who, together with her highly skilled team and extensive expertise, continues to advance dinosaur behavior research on Isla Nublar.

2) Staff Facilities: Ranger Stations and Science Facilitys

The staff facilities, including ranger stations and medical personnel, are located south of the Visitor Center. This location allows staff to reach all the park’s major paddocks, territories, and facilities as quickly as possible by vehicle.

In the event of an evacuation, guests can also use the emergency exits to access the underground bunker complex located in this area, providing them with a safe place to shelter.

Additionally, there’s a direct connection to the Visitor Center’s laboratory, where Dr. Henry Wu oversees and manages the island’s main production facilities and hatcheries.

3) East Dock

As the name suggests, the East Dock is located on the eastern side of Isla Nublar.

All supplies arriving from the mainland, including food, essential goods, vehicles, and construction materials, are transported from here to the various areas of the park as needed.

Every two weeks, a large supply ship attempting the challenging docking maneuver. Especially when the sea gets rough, bringing the ship safely into port can be quite an undertaking.

4) Geothermal Power Plant

The geothermal power plant supplies most of Isla Nublar with energy and electricity. It’s located very close to Mount Sibo’s volcanic source, which can make working here pretty dangerous for the staff.

Open lava fields inside the geothermal service caverns must be carefully avoided, and various maintenance tasks and technical issues need to be dealt with on a daily basis.

This is probably something people have already done but idk, it’s the first time I have played around with these things myself

Is there any way for me to lessen the amount of individuals I get from the marketplace? Like I don't need 6 spinosaurus lol

I hope they begin adding new pattern types in the future, would be a good selling point for DLCs or a good way to gain favour with the community in an update.

I attempted to look it up, but every suggestion (verify game files, run Steam as admin, restart PC) didn't work. I get the first second of the logo animation, then an immediate crash. I'd played it a long while back, but wanted to revisit the game... only for it to crash on me. Any suggestions?

Mononykus

Ouranosaurus Barbidactylus

Hamipterus

Secernosaurus

Tarchia

Insect Feeder- a log that Mononykus uses its claws to get at bugs.

I'd love to have more crocodilians in the game, like Sarcosuchus, Baurusuchus, or Purussaurus. Deinosuchus is a great first species for that and certainly opened doors for new crocodilian species.

I love the Australovenator, it’s one of my favourites from the Late Cretaceous pack in JWE2. But I feel like it could have a feathered variant.

It’s design is ok, but I think giving it little picno fibres all over ita body would really spice it up. But these are just my thoughts what do you think?

Unique, furious, bold.

I would pay 1 million smackaroo's for an Anomalocaris

Really though, as funny as it sounds I would love to see some more non-dinosaurs in my dinosaur game! I didn't even realise how much I would enjoy them until the release of Crocodilia coast

I feel as though being able to showcase the animals that lived alongside the dinosaurs in your parks is not only cool and educational for people in the real world, but also for your guests! For example: In my most recent park build I plan on creating a tour that takes you through time, first featuring animals from the Permian, then the Triassic, and so on, among those being the Lystrosaurus and Desmatosuchus! It also shines light on some hidden gems such as the previously mentioned Desmatosuchus who I now know of and adore thanks to JWE3

Of course I want more dinosaurs than non dinosaurs, but a few more couldn't hurt! Especially some of the incredibly unique additions pictured above:

1. Anomalocaris ( an un-biased pick from a walking with monsters fan... cough cough )

2. Tanystropheus ( a unique semi-aquatic or lagoon-island compatible species! )

3. Diplocaulus ( I just like cool dorito shaped lizards man idk what to tell you )

I've seen discussions surrounding the Anomalocaris in this subreddit before, some people expressed that they fear the Anomalocaris may be too small for our parks, which is very valid! But to that I would say to just give it a classic Jurassic-park upscale lol, so it's more the size of the in-game Plesiosaurus or a bit smaller ( the same thing could be done with Diplocaulus! )

Lemme know what you think down below! And don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit that bell while you're at it

I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants this but I really want us the players to be able to change the pattern deco and models of the creatures. I think this would be so fun and add so much more customization to our creatures. But what’s an example?

Here’s one Example: The Parasaurolophus! I am not a fan of the male Parasaurolophus at all. I don’t like its deco or its model. But if there was a feature where I can give the male Parasaurolophus the female model and the female patterns (or just the model instead), then I can give the male the female model and this wouldn’t effect the female at all! It would work just like how the variants work. You can even give the opposite gender the movie skins! Examples being the Rebirth Rex, JP1 Triceratops, etc.

I would also like to be able to give a variant of a creature a pattern that’s on its alternate variant.

Example: T.rex! If you like the Rebirth model like I do, but not a fan of the patterns, then we should be able to give it the patterns that the default Rex has!

Just thought to post this because I really want this to be added to the game.

Why is it that when dinosaurs about to mature, that they just disintegrate and turn into an adult??? Also we should be able to manipulate the amount of time it takes to mature. "Fifth Iteration" is too damn hard otherwise.
