I think I'm going to need to veto intentionally feeding the guests to dinosaurs
this early unless you're all sure you want to do it. Basically, there are two ways it could go. If we don't activate Emergency Mode and let the dinosaurs loose on the guests, the resulting lawsuits will crush our finances and shut down the park. If we do have emergency mode on, the deaths won't cost us anything but all the guests will flee the park before anything interesting happens.
The old and new
January-April, 2001Our first Velociraptor remains are in.
We've lowered the bathroom price to $1, to see if that hurts us as much as before.
To compensate, we've raised the admission fee to $600.
Apparently, people really liked that. Our park is now at two stars, and as a result we can pick another dig site. Three choices left.
Judith River Group A:Albertosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus.Judith River Group B:Corythosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Styracosaurus.
Hell Creek Formation A:Acrocanthosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Torosaurus.
Hell Creek Formation B:Edmontosaurus, Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus.
Morrison Formation A:Stegosaurus, Dryosaurus, Ceratosaurus.
Morrison Formation B:Brachiosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Camarasaurus.
Tendaguru Beds:Kentrosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Allosaurus.
Chenini Formation:Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Ouranosaurus.
Flaming Cliffs:Gallimimus, Homalocephale, Velociraptor.Some guests are complaining about crowding. If the new $600 prices don't solve that, it may provide an excuse to hike the prices up to $800.
We've reached 55% DNA for Gallimimus! We can begin producing them with six-month lifespans, or we can wait for more DNA to make them last for years.
Everybody seems happy now that we're charging only a dollar. Now we'll try out $4, see if that works, and so on until we find the exact value guests are willing to pay to be allowed to poop.
We've bought a fourth dig team for $20,000.
Ingen gave us a rather unimpressed quarterly report.
Judith River turned up the best possible DNA source in the game, Unique Quality amber. We'll take the gamble, since it might give us an Ankylosaurus.
This time, it did work out. Ankylosaurus is now available, with 60% DNA and a 7-month lifespan. *Edit, it's now 74% and a year-long lifespan.
A fossil market purchase helped our progress along.
Our original two Pachycephalosaurus have died. I caught the last moments of one of them. It started out resting peacefully in the grass, but then rose up to fight one last dominance battle with another Pachycephalosaurus. It didn't have time to finish however and dropped dead mid-fight. The other one considered this a valid victory and roared triumphantly.
