Dinosaur comfort is just one of the things you have to manage in Jurassic World Evolution 2, but it might be the most important. If the dinosaurs have a low comfort level, they will get angry and run away from their enclosures. It's chaos theory in action, except you can stop the butterfly effect by doing a few simple things.
To increase the comfort of the dinosaurs, everything revolves around their enclosures. The needs are divided into two main categories: the needs of the territory and the environmental needs.
Territorial requirements include cohabitation, enclosure area, and population (or number of animals in a specific enclosure).
Environmental needs always include water and access to food, but they also break down into several other categories depending on the species. Compsognathus loves sand and open space. Velociraptors like a mix of open space and forest, with plenty of live prey. And triceratops like crushed fibers.
How to Find and Measure Dinosaur Comfort
As you unlock more dinosaurs, you'll need to keep a close eye on their comfort levels. Finding out if a specific dino is comfortable is easy.
- Send a team of guards to do a status check:
- Click on the Rangers team, add a task and click on a dinosaur with the binoculars symbol above its head.
- Add ranger stations to each compound and assign teams to do this automatically.
- Once the status check is complete, click on the dinosaur.
- Click on the cloud icon, second from the left.
The Comfort tab contains a bar that indicates an animal's overall comfort level. Below it displays the above, territorial and environmental needs, with status bars indicating the percentage of each in an enclosure.
It is enough to be barely in the white to satisfy the dinosaurs. While you can, you don't have to go overboard to create the perfect speaker. Comfort can be perfect with the bare minimum.
It is important to note that injuries, illnesses and poor health do not affect comfort. While you certainly want to heal your dinosaurs, you don't have to worry about it affecting their comfort values.
How to Increase Comfort Levels
If the values ​​are in the red, you need to add any resource to a box, or if it's an area or population issue, expand the box. Add resources sparingly, as it takes a few seconds for the dinosaurs to acclimate and realize you've made changes.
On that note, it's worth talking about territory. Dinosaurs must explore to expand their territory; they do not automatically claim an entire enclosure as their territory when they first enter it.
For this reason, it takes time for certain comfort values ​​to increase, such as the need for forests or earth fiber. Once a dinosaur enters a certain area of ​​an enclosure, its comfort values ​​for that need will change accordingly.
With that in mind, it's a good idea to balance out your paddocks, adding bits of forest and food around the paddocks.
To increase comfort to the maximum immediately, always:
- Add water; a pond or small lake will do
- Add food sources.
- For large carnivores, a single live prey is sufficient; for small carnivores only one carnivore feeder works
- For herbivores, always add more ground fiber, ground leaves, or ground fruit than you think you need. They eat a lot.
- Add forests for most carnivores and herbivores; about 1/3 of the enclosure is a safe bet for many forest-loving animals, leaving the rest for open space.
- Flying dinosaur like boulders and about 3-5 large boulders, like Taiga Rocks 5, will even be enough for two connected aviaries.
- Make sure the animals live together well. Dinosaurs have cohabitation likes and dislikes, which can be found under their Territory tab. Note that some animals seem to get along but don't, such as Velociraptors and Struthiomimus.
And that's about it on how to increase dinosaur comfort levels and keep your dinosaurs happy in Jurassic Park Evolution 2. For more tips and help articles, check out our other JWE 2 guides. .
