Chapter 1: Your First Day on the Job – Essential Jurassic World Evolution 2 Tips

Before you can clone a single dinosaur, you must understand the world you’ve stepped into. The path to becoming a master park manager in Jurassic World Evolution 2 is paved with careful planning and a firm grasp of the fundamentals.

Understanding the Game Modes

Jurassic World Evolution 2 offers four distinct modes, each serving a different purpose and providing unique challenges. Your journey should follow a specific path to unlock the game’s full potential.

Start with the Campaign Mode. 🏕️ Think of this as your mandatory park manager orientation. The Campaign is an extended tutorial that introduces you to the sequel’s most significant new mechanics, such as the complex scientist management system, the dynamic territory needs of your dinosaurs, and the basics of capturing prehistoric animals in the wild.
Move on to Chaos Theory. 🎬 After the Campaign, Chaos Theory should be your next stop. This mode presents a series of “what if” scenarios based on pivotal moments from all five Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films. Here, you will apply the skills you’ve learned to reshape history.
Test Your Mettle in Challenge Mode. 🏆 This mode is the ultimate test of your efficiency and economic planning. Your goal is to build a five-star park as quickly as possible under specific constraints. Success unlocks unique dinosaur skins and other cosmetic rewards.
Unleash Your Creativity in Sandbox Mode. 🎨 This is the ultimate reward for your hard work. Sandbox Mode is an open-ended creative playground. However, nearly all dinosaurs, buildings, and maps are locked from the start. You must first unlock them by mastering the other modes.

The Golden Rule of Early Game: Pause and Plan ⏸️

Pause the game immediately. The moment you can skip the intro cinematic in any new map, hit the pause button. Your starting cash begins draining the second the timer starts. Pausing gives you a crucial, free window to plan your opening moves.
Assess your surroundings. 🗺️ While paused, open the map and take stock of your environment. Look for pre-existing water sources and patches of edible plants that your first herbivores can use. This saves you money on terraforming.
Relocate your initial buildings if necessary. 🏗️ The game often places your Arrival Point and Control Center in suboptimal locations. Don’t be afraid to move them to a more open, central area. A better starting position can save you a fortune on pathing and power lines down the road.

Your First Buildings – The Operational Backbone

To build a successful park in Jurassic World Evolution 2, you need a solid foundation. These are the first buildings you should construct.

Build your core operations hub. 🏢 Start with an Arrival Point for guests, a Control Center to hire scientists, and a Staff Center to allow them to rest. This trio forms the administrative heart of your park.
Establish your dinosaur creation pipeline. 🧬 Next, build a Science Center and an Expedition Center. The Expedition Center allows you to send scientists on digs for fossils, and the Science Center is where you’ll extract DNA and conduct vital research.
Set up your response and medical teams. 🚁 A Response Facility houses your Ranger and Capture Teams. Ranger Teams are essential for refilling feeders and repairing fences. A Paleo-Medical Facility is also crucial for treating injuries and diseases.

First Dinosaur: The Key to Profitability 🦕

Aim for a cheap, high-appeal herbivore. Your first dinosaur is your ticket to profitability. Don’t aim for a T. rex. Instead, focus on a cost-effective herbivore like a Struthiomimus or Nasutoceratops. They are cheap, have simple needs, and can be housed in groups.
Build a Viewing Gallery immediately. 👀 In Jurassic World Evolution 2, dinosaur visibility is a major factor in your park’s appeal rating. A dinosaur that guests can’t see provides zero appeal. Ensure your first enclosure has at least one Viewing Gallery connected to a path so guests can start spending money.

Chapter 2: Mastering Park Operations in Jurassic World Evolution 2

A successful park is a well-oiled machine. Mastering the core operational mechanics of Jurassic World Evolution 2—from managing your staff to optimizing your profits—is the difference between a thriving prehistoric paradise and a bankrupt disaster.

Scientist Management: Your Most Valuable (and Expensive) Asset 🧑‍🔬

Scientists are the lifeblood of your park, but their salaries can be a significant drain on your finances. Managing them effectively is a critical skill.

Understand the three scientist skills. Every scientist has three stats:
- Logistics: 🏗️ Used for expeditions, researching structures, and building upgrades.
- Genetics: 🧬 Used for DNA extraction, gene modification, and synthesizing dinosaurs.
- Welfare: ❤️‍🩹 Used for incubating eggs, researching medical treatments, and performing surgery.
Fire your starting scientists. In most scenarios, the scientists you start with are expensive generalists. A far more effective strategy is to fire them immediately and check the candidate pool for cheap specialists.
Hire for traits, not just stats. Look for scientists with beneficial traits. The most powerful early-game traits are “Altruistic Salary” (cuts their salary in half) and any trait that reduces the cost or time of tasks.
Build a team of cheap specialists. Your goal is to assemble a team where the combined skill points meet the requirements for early-game tasks. You can always train your scientists later.
Rest your scientists to avoid sabotage. 😴 Every task a scientist performs increases their unrest. If their unrest meter turns red, they may sabotage your park. Build a Staff Center early and rest scientists regularly.
Stack Staff Center upgrades. The “Staff Improvements 1” upgrade, which reduces scientist salaries, can be built in multiple Staff Centers. The effects stack, allowing you to significantly reduce your largest operational cost.
Use the “Fire Everyone” trick in Challenge Mode. 🔥 Your park’s star rating is directly tied to your profit-per-minute. If you are stuck just shy of 5 stars, save your game and fire all of your scientists. This will temporarily eliminate your largest expense, causing your profit to skyrocket.

Automating Your Park Teams for Maximum Efficiency ⚙️

You don’t have to do everything yourself. Learning to delegate tasks to your park teams is essential for managing a large and complex park.

Assign tasks to your teams. Instead of manually driving your Ranger jeep or Capture helicopter, you can assign tasks. Select a vehicle, click “Assign Task,” and then select the target.
Use Ranger Posts for automated check-ups. 📡 A crucial new feature is the Ranger Post. Place one inside an enclosure and assign a Ranger Team to it. That team will then automatically patrol the enclosure and perform status checks on the dinosaurs.
Weigh automation vs. direct control. Automating tasks costs fuel and money. Taking direct control of a vehicle is faster and doesn’t consume fuel for tasks. In the early game, direct control can save you money. In the late game, automation is key.

Powering Your Park: From Generators to Power Stations ⚡

A park without power is a park in chaos. Managing your electrical grid is a top priority.

Use Backup Generators sparingly. Backup Generators are your only power source at the very beginning. They have a limited range and require expensive fuel that you must manually refill. They are a massive money sink.
Research Small Power Stations immediately. One of your first research priorities should be “Improved Power Technology.” This unlocks the Small Power Station, which is much more stable and cost-effective.
Invest in outage protection. Power stations can suffer outages during storms. Researching and applying “Outage Protection” upgrades will keep your electric fences online during critical moments.

Guest Amenities: Your Primary Profit Engine 💰

In Jurassic World Evolution 2, your main source of income isn’t ticket sales; it’s the food, drinks, and souvenirs your guests buy.

Build amenities where the paths are red. 🔴 Use the Management View tool to check for amenity demand. Areas with red paths are crowded with guests who want to buy something. Place a set of small amenities (Food, Drink, and Shopping) in these hotspots.
Configure amenities for maximum profit. Once placed, click on an amenity to configure its interior modules. The goal is to match the modules to the interests of the guests who frequent that area.
Don’t forget restrooms and shelters. 🚻 While they don’t generate income, having 100% coverage for restrooms and emergency shelters is vital for guest comfort and safety ratings.
Upgrade to larger amenities as your park grows. As your guest count increases, small amenities will become overcrowded. Research and replace them with Medium and eventually Large amenities.
Unlisted Amenity Module Effects. 🤫 Pay close attention to module descriptions. Certain modules have hidden benefits. Any module that adds seating, such as “Bench Seating,” will increase the guest capacity. Shopping modules like “Dense Racks” also provide a small capacity boost.

Chapter 3: Dinosaur Husbandry – A Guide to Prehistoric Welfare

The stars of your park are, of course, the dinosaurs themselves. Keeping these magnificent creatures comfortable, healthy, and safely contained is your most important duty. Jurassic World Evolution 2 completely overhauls how you care for them.

The Territory System: A Dynamic Revolution 🗺️

The old comfort system is gone. Welcome to the age of territories.

Understand dynamic territories. Dinosaurs no longer have a static view of their entire enclosure. Instead, they dynamically create a “territory” based on where their needs are met.
Paint the environment to meet needs. 🎨 To make a dinosaur comfortable, you must use the landscaping tools to “paint” the correct types of ground cover and foliage within its territory.
Territory size matters. A dinosaur’s needs aren’t just about what’s in its environment, but also how much space it has. If an enclosure is too small, its comfort will drop, leading to escape attempts.

Paleobotany: The End of Feeders 🌿

For herbivores, the “set it and forget it” feeders from the first game have been replaced by a more engaging system.

Match plants to diets. Herbivores no longer eat from a generic feeder. Instead, you must use the paleobotany tools to place specific types of plants that match their diet.
Check the database for dietary needs. 📖 Each herbivore species has a specific list of plants it can eat. You can find this information in the in-game database. Planting the wrong type of food will do nothing, and your dinosaurs will starve.
Carnivores and piscivores still use feeders. 🍖 Large carnivores still require a Meat Feeder or Live Prey Feeder, while fish-eaters require a Fish Feeder.

Enclosure Design and Security 🚧

A comfortable dinosaur is a contained dinosaur. But even a happy T. rex will test your fences.

Match fence strength to security rating. Every dinosaur has a security rating, and every fence has a strength rating. If a dinosaur’s rating is higher than the fence’s, it will eventually break through.
Use electrified fences for climbers. ⚡ Small carnivores like Velociraptor will attempt to climb over standard fences. Electrified fences act as a deterrent.
Beware of unique escape artists. Some species have unique behaviors. The Monolophosaurus, from the Camp Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack, is notorious for its ability to climb fences.

Specialized Enclosures: Aviaries and Lagoons 🦅🌊

Jurassic World Evolution 2 introduces flying and marine reptiles, each requiring their own unique habitats.

Build modular aviaries. Aviaries are constructed from modular dome pieces that can be linked together. You must attach at least one Aviary Hatchery to create and release your flying reptiles.
Expand your lagoons. Lagoons for marine reptiles are also modular. You start with a Lagoon Hatchery and add lagoon sections to increase the available water volume.
Marine and flying reptiles have territories, too. Just like land dinosaurs, these species need enough open space and must have their food needs met with Fish Feeders.
Run tours through your aviaries. 🚡 A new feature is the ability to run guided tour tracks through your aviaries, giving your guests an unforgettable up-close view.

Chapter 4: The Cohabitation Conundrum in Jurassic World Evolution 2

Housing multiple species in one enclosure is the key to creating a diverse, high-appeal park. However, the social dynamics in Jurassic World Evolution 2 are a complex puzzle of likes, dislikes, and hidden dangers.

Understanding Likes, Dislikes, and Neutrality 🤔

Check the cohabitation tab. In a dinosaur’s status menu, the cohabitation tab will tell you which other species it “Likes,” “Dislikes,” or is neutral towards.
- Likes: ❤️ Housing a dinosaur with a “Liked” species provides a comfort bonus.
- Dislikes: 💔 Housing it with a “Disliked” species will cause a severe comfort penalty, leading to constant fighting and breakout attempts.
- Neutral: 😐 Species not on either list are neutral and do not affect comfort directly.
Pay attention to family feuds. Often, a dinosaur will dislike its own family. For example, most Ceratopsids (horned dinosaurs) dislike being housed with other Ceratopsid species.

The “Likes” Deception: A Carnivore’s Appetite 🥩

“Likes” does not mean “friends.” This is one of the most crucial and misunderstood mechanics. The “Likes” tag simply means the two species can share a territory without a stress penalty. It does not override natural predator-prey instincts.
Small carnivores “like” their snacks. You will notice the game states that a Velociraptor “likes” a Compsognathus. If you house them together, the raptor will promptly hunt and eat the compy. This is not a bug. The raptor sees it as a convenient, mobile food source.

The Dominance Hierarchy and Preventing Infighting 👑

Constant fighting within a pack of social carnivores can lead to endless injuries. This is caused by an unstable dominance hierarchy.

Understand the hidden Dominance stat. Every dinosaur has a base Dominance rating, modified by genetic traits like “Aggressive,” “Social,” and “Humble.”
Unstable hierarchies cause fights. When multiple dinosaurs in a pack have similar Dominance stats, they will constantly fight to establish who is the alpha.
Engineer your alpha. To create a stable, peaceful pack, you must intentionally create a definitive alpha. Create one individual with multiple dominance-boosting traits.
Release the alpha first. Once you have your designated alpha, release it into the enclosure by itself. It will immediately establish itself as the alpha. Then, you can release the rest of the pack (who should have neutral or dominance-reducing traits). They will not challenge the established alpha.

Cohabitation Blueprints: Tried and True Recipes 📝

Here are a few reliable enclosure combinations to get you started.

The Herbivore Paradise. 🌿 For a high-capacity, high-appeal, and peaceful herbivore exhibit, combine one species from each of the following groups:
- A large Sauropod (e.g., Brachiosaurus)
- A Hadrosaur (e.g., Parasaurolophus)
- An Ornithomimid (e.g., Gallimimus)
- An armored herbivore (e.g., Stegosaurus or Ankylosaurus).
Peaceful Carnivore Pairs. ❤️ While most large carnivores will fight to the death, several species “like” each other and can be housed in pairs. These include:
- Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus
- Baryonyx and Suchomimus
- Carnotaurus and Majungasaurus
- Velociraptor and Indominus Rex

Velociraptor	Indominus Rex, Compsognathus	Most other small and medium carnivores	Intelligent; will test fences frequently. Will hunt and eat Compsognathus.

Chapter 5: Advanced Strategies for the Veteran Park Manager

Once your park is stable and turning a profit, it’s time to shift gears. These advanced strategies will help you transform your modest attraction into a world-renowned, five-star destination.

Economic Snowballing: From Profit to Powerhouse 💰

Focus on high-appeal “anchor” species. ⚓ To dramatically increase your guest count, you need dinosaurs with massive appeal. Large carnivores like the T. rex and large marine reptiles like the Mosasaurus serve as powerful anchors.
More guests mean more amenity demand. The surge in guests from a high-appeal dinosaur will create massive demand for amenities. This is where your real profit comes from.
Expand and upgrade amenities. As your guest count climbs, expand your amenity hubs and upgrade from small to medium and large buildings to handle the capacity.

Storm Preparedness and Disaster Management 🌪️

Storms are inevitable and can be devastating. A solid disaster plan is not optional.

Save at every storm warning. 💾 This is the most important rule. A quick save before the storm hits allows you to reload if a tornado rips through your most expensive infrastructure.
Open all shelters immediately. 🚨 The moment you hear the storm warning, pause the game and open all of your Emergency Shelters. Protecting your guests is the number one priority.
Close all shops to stop financial bleeding. 💸 While your guests are hiding, your amenities will be empty and losing money. Pause the game and deactivate all of your amenity buildings. Remember to reactivate them once the storm passes.
Proactively tranquilize high-risk dinosaurs. 😴 Don’t wait for a breakout. Before a severe storm hits, identify your most dangerous dinosaurs and send your Capture Team to tranquilize them. A sleeping dinosaur can’t break out.

Pathing and Guest Flow: The Unseen Bottleneck 🚶‍♂️

Widen your main paths. This is a critical, yet easily missed, mechanic. Your park’s total guest capacity is limited by the width of your paths. Upgrade your main paths to the widest option to maximize potential guest numbers.
Fix the “lack of space” complaint. If guests complain about a lack of space near an amenity, it’s often because it’s attached directly to a busy main path. Build a small, secondary path branching off the main one and attach the amenity to that. This creates a dedicated “patio” area.

Maximizing Park Appeal and Star Rating ⭐

Appeal is a three-part formula. Your total park appeal is calculated from:
- Dinosaur Quality: The base appeal of each dinosaur.
- Species Variety: A bonus for each unique species.
- Visibility: How easily guests can see your dinosaurs.
Star rating equals profit. While appeal draws in guests, your park’s five-star rating is almost entirely dependent on your profit-per-minute. A high, stable income is the fastest way to achieve a five-star rating.
Take photos for quick cash. 📸 Don’t underestimate the value of the Ranger Team’s photography function. Driving into an enclosure and taking a good photo can net you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Chapter 6: Secrets of the Genome – Uncovering Hidden Mechanics

Beyond the basics lie a host of obscure mechanics and hidden features. Mastering these secrets will elevate your park management skills to the next level.

Carnivores prefer feeders. A well-fed carnivore is a lazy carnivore. If it has easy access to a feeder, it will almost always choose to eat from it rather than expend energy hunting live prey.
Hunts can fail. 🤕 Dinosaurs with negative traits like “Poor Hunter” or “Clumsy” can actually fail their hunting attempts, and can even starve to death in an enclosure full of potential food.
The “Hunt or Be Hunted” dynamic. Some species introduce a new layer to predator-prey interactions. The Gigantoraptor, for example, can hunt small carnivores like Velociraptors. However, a pack of Velociraptors can, in turn, team up and hunt the Gigantoraptor.
Wrangle your herbivores without tranquilizers. 🚗 The Dinosaur Wrangling feature allows you to take direct control of a Ranger Team and use a flare to “Summon” herbivores towards your vehicle or “Send” them to a specific location.
Beware of automatic gates. When you are wrangling a herd, enclosure gates will open automatically. Be careful not to lead a herd through a gate that connects to another enclosure, as other animals might follow them out.
Reload your save to fix stuck dinosaurs. 🐛 Occasionally, a dinosaur’s pathfinding will break. Before you replace it, try saving your game and immediately reloading that save. This often resets the dinosaur’s position.
Listen to the tour narration. 🎧 For a touch of cinematic flair, take manual control of a park tour vehicle. As you drive past enclosures, a narrator will provide interesting facts about the species inside.
Invisible fences are not just for dinosaurs. The invisible fences from the Dominion Biosyn Expansion can be used creatively. Player-driven vehicles can pass through them even when powered, allowing you to create hidden staff roads.

Chapter 7: Mode-Specific Masterclasses for Jurassic World Evolution 2

While the core principles of park management apply everywhere, the Challenge and Chaos Theory modes require specialized strategies.

Challenge Mode Deep Dive 🏆

Survive the first hour. In Challenge Mode, especially on higher difficulties, the first hour is brutal. The entire goal is to get your first few income-generating dinosaurs out and stabilize your economy.
Use the “Innovation Center” strategy on specific maps. On maps like Germany and Southwest USA, it’s possible to achieve a five-star rating without a single dinosaur. This is done by building one of each guest attraction type and then filling the rest of your park with Innovation Centers.
Canada Challenge strategy: Go big and go deep. 🌊 Your primary goal is to capture the wild Brachiosaurus on the map. From there, invest heavily in researching the Lagoon and a high-appeal marine reptile like the Tylosaurus or Mosasaurus.
Don’t worry about par time for unlocks. If your goal is simply to unlock the cosmetic skins, you do not need to beat the par time. Take as long as you need.

Chaos Theory Mastery 🎬

Pacing is the key to victory. The biggest mistake is rushing the main objectives. The game often scripts difficult events, like storms or sabotages, to trigger after you complete a specific task. Before you complete a major objective, pause, build up a cash reserve, and secure your enclosures.
Jurassic Park Scenario strategy. You start with a few dinosaurs. The most important tip is to delay building the Ford Explorer tour. The devastating storm that cripples the park is scripted to trigger only after this objective is completed. Use this storm-free period to research stronger fences and build your economy.
Jurassic World Scenario strategy. Your main challenge is the high upkeep cost. A key strategy is to use gene modification to research and apply the “Long Lived” trait to your existing animals. Your ultimate goal is to afford a Mosasaurus. Its colossal 2500 appeal rating is almost essential for reaching the five-star requirement.

Chapter 9: The Architect’s Toolkit – Creative Building & Design 🎨

Beyond mere management, Jurassic World Evolution 2 offers a vast canvas for creative expression in its Sandbox mode. This chapter is for the architects and artists looking to build parks that are not just functional, but beautiful.

Thinking Like an Architect

Start with a story. 📖 The most beautiful parks are built with a purpose. Before you place a single path, come up with a theme. Is it a high-tech research facility? A rugged nature preserve? A faithful recreation of the original Jurassic Park?
Draw inspiration from the real world. 🏞️ Look up photos of real-world zoos, theme parks, and botanical gardens. Pay attention to how they handle guest flow, structure their plazas, and integrate buildings with the natural landscape.

Creative Tricks and Glitches (No Mods) 🤫

Clip buildings into lagoons. The hitbox for lagoon walls is slightly offset. This allows you to carefully clip decorations, fences, and even Viewing Galleries partially into the wall to create stunning underwater viewing areas.
Repurpose your buildings. 💡 Use your imagination to give buildings a new identity. A Viewing Gallery can serve as a convincing lighthouse. Group several galleries together to create a large, barn-like shelter.
Create “baby” dinosaurs. The game doesn’t feature juvenile dinosaurs, but you can simulate them. Use a very small species like the Moros intrepidus to represent a young version of a much larger species, like a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Simulate sexual dimorphism. Create visual differences between males and females of a species by using different pattern and color combinations.
Create a custom hatchery viewing area. Instead of deleting your hatchery, integrate it into the design. Build a dedicated “operations” section around it and place a viewing gallery looking into the hatchery’s release pen.

Advanced Landscaping and Pathing

Embrace elevation. ⛰️ Don’t build on a perfectly flat map. Use the terrain tools to create hills, plateaus, and valleys. This adds visual interest and allows you to create dramatic overlooks.
Craft natural water sources. To create a realistic-looking pond, first use the terrain tool to lower the ground. Then, place your water. Finally, use the smooth tool around the edges to create gentle, natural-looking banks.
Use decorative trees for detailed forests. 🌲 The standard forest brush creates dense thickets. For more control, use the individual trees from the decorations tab. These trees still count towards a dinosaur’s forest need but allow you to create more open, curated woodlands.
Build wide main streets. To create a grand central plaza, lay down two or three of the widest paths directly next to each other. This creates a much larger, more impressive thoroughfare.
Hide your operations. For a more immersive guest experience, separate your operational buildings from your guest areas. Tuck them away “backstage” behind enclosures or rows of trees.

Conclusion: Your Legacy Begins Now

The last page of the manual is worn, the ink faded. The final entry is simple:

“The principles are here. The secrets are yours. But remember, this park, this dream, is ultimately a story. Every path laid, every fence electrified, every creature brought back from the abyss of time is a word in a grand narrative of your own making. I have given you the grammar, the vocabulary. Now, go and write your epic. Don’t spare any expense.”

The knowledge has been passed on. You now possess the tools, the strategies, and the secrets to not only build a park but to create a world. The challenges will be immense. Storms will rage, fences will fail, and life will, inevitably, find a way. But you are prepared. Go forth, Park Manager. Your legacy begins now. 🌟
