Park Manager's Toolbox - Naturalistic Park Builds

Welcome, Park Managers

Today we're going to explore some tips and tricks about building natural enclosures, ideal for Park Managers looking to design wildlife parks with a focus on dinosaurs.

Natural enclosures add a seamless finish to any enclosure, using foliage, rocks and scenery pieces to alternatively fence your dinosaurs into their habitats.

Building Naturalistic Enclosures & Parks

Enclosure Building Tools & Tips

Natural barriers are ideal for Park Managers who want to create sanctuaries and nature reserve style parks, without using loads of fences or walls.

Collision Settings

Before you start building, make sure you've got the right settings on. Collision is on by default for scenery pieces allowing you to layer rocks, trees and other pieces of foliage together to create a fully enclosed habitat for your dinosaurs without using a fence.

Use the Obstructions heatmap to check for holes in your enclosures! The heatmap allows you to check if Small, Medium or Large dinosaurs can navigate the space, and should reveal if there are any holes they might potentially escape from.

Terrain Tools

Use the terrain tools in your favour! Moats and other bodies of water won't be cross-able for some dinosaurs, but your semi-aquatic varieties won't be deterred by shallow or deep water. Just remember, while some of your dinosaurs can traverse deep water your ATV's can't!

A better tool to use for some dinosaurs are pits & cliffs, allowing you to make the most of every level of your park while keeping your dinosaurs in one place. Add slopes and ramps into the design of your enclosures to make sure they're still accessible to staff after being carved out of the earth.

Less Pressure on Power

This style of enclosure can remove the need for traditional fences when built right, putting less strain on your park's power system and maintenance repairs, saving you money as Park Manager that you can put into better dinosaur care!

With less pressure on your park's power and security, there is less likelihood of dinosaurs escaping their enclosures.

Hidden Attractions

Hiding your attractions is a great way to give your park the look of a nature sanctuary. Use 'Hidden' viewing stations, like the Log Viewing Platform, for the least intrusive attractions and add to the more natural appearance of your park.

You can blend in Viewing Stations with scenery items and foliage but, for any species that require their nest be hidden from view, make sure you keep them away from the prying eyes of the public.

Minimal Buildings

Keep your buildings to a minimum! If you're going for the isolated nature reserve style of park, try and construct as few buildings as you can.

Stick to placing areas like the Arrival Point, Emergency Shelter and Paleo-Medical Facility which will be essential for the care of your dinosaurs. Any of the facilities that fulfil guest needs are extra and will detract from the peaceful dinosaur focused sanctuary you're building.
