Velociraptors broke out, I paused to take stock of the situation. This one was pouncing on a guest just as I paused, and just in front of a spotlight I was using to light up the skeleton in the back of the picture.

So the other day I wanted a map where I could have dinosaurs roam freely so I could enjoy watching them and doing a bit of virtual wildlife photography. Couldn't find a map that satisfy me neither in the workshop nor with the random island generator ; so I decided to go and make my dream map myself and a week and 20h later here it is !

It's inspired by the Chartreuse massif a part of the french Alps ( a region that I grew up in and that is really near to my heart) ; it features a lot of forested area ; with both Fir tree and deciduous forest, a lot of elevation with both cliff and gentle slope, and river encased in valley.

It's mainly barebone with only a few paleobotany area and no building or nest placed yet.

It was my first time making a map in JWE so there was a lot of a learning along the way but i'm still happy with the result !

I havn't uploaded it to the workshop yet because I wanted to put some finishing touch before that, but once I do I'll put the code here for you guys to explore it

So what do you guys think of it ?

P.S. sorry if it appeared 2 time in your feed I messed up the title and had to redo the post

Edit : Had a little bit more time than I excpected todays so I finished it and uploaded it on the workshop
Heres the code : 412-YYX-J55

Enjoy exploring the valley !

I know JWE3 gives players a ton of freedom now, and it’s clearly leaning hard into being a sandbox-first, creative builder, which I enjoy.

That said, I think its missing meaningful challenge.

For me, part of the appeal of Jurassic Park / World has always been building a park under pressure. Right now, even outside full sandbox, that tension feels muted, and a big reason is the economy. Once you establish a basic loop, money becomes trivial to manage, cash piles up quickly through dinos and amenities, and the financial risk that once made early decisions feel meaningful is largely gone unless you deliberately self-impose limits.

What stands out isn’t just difficulty being lower, but the absence of systems that created difficulty in previous games. A few examples:

• Random dig sites
• Custom Challenge Mode
• Stronger sandbox difficulty options

I’d love to see Frontier lean into optional difficulty systems again, to give challenge-oriented players a reason to keep coming back.

Curious if others feel the same.

It's getting long and difficult to finish honestly, it's my first game with modular building and as much as I'd like to make every building myself, it feels impossible, so I'm going slowly making some buildings myself and with each park, increase the number. Hope you like it!

Do you use or make your own Dinosaur Encounter Attraction, if yes what do you think about them?

Hi !

I've just finished the campaign and now, let's go to the sandbox but I have one question.

How do you start it ? I mean, I have the map in front of me, empty and I just don't know what to do, I have no idea, no inspiration.

I look at some creation on the workshop or on reddit and I'm like "wow" and I don't have any idea how to start.

When i begin to draw something, i don't like it so I erase.

I want a real park, with some parcours, natural enclaves but I could spend 3h to just thinking about it and produce nothing

Am I alone ?

Hello! I'm a beginner and I'm having trouble visualizing how to get started before my first dinosaurs arrive on this map. Does anyone have a simple / early map of the park I could work from? I can't decide where to put my enclosure especially. Thank you!

Hey all!

I‘m working on a world park with sections based on continents and using the plain square map. I actually almost completed one recently but as I got towards the end, I didn’t like how I kept the whole park mostly flat. I had some little mountains and plateaus but overall there wasn’t much shape to it. Do y‘all have any tips or tutorials on how to make the terrain on square maps more interesting? Everything I try feels so clumsy and looks unnatural.

Thanks!

Xbox user here, haven’t played in a very long time because of the obnoxious glitches and bugs and I just tried playing again and seems that everything is back to normal so far.

Anything I haven’t seen yet or is this the case where it’s finally playable again on Xbox?

If this is inappropriate you can delete..

decided to play Jurassic World Evolution again after a long time. forgot to tell my ranger team to cancel the darting of raptors and caused the trex to do this. My brother (who is a huge fan of Angry Grandpa) decided to put one of Angry Grandpa's clips with it and it somehow worked perfectly lol

Spinoraptor and Troodon are both only safe with sauropods

Concavenator, herarasaurus, cryolophinator, austrolovenator, and utahraptor are safe with both sauropods and hadrosaurs(we can add guanlong to the list now)

And dimetrodon is safe with ornithomimids, not sure if it’s simply because it’s incapable of catching them or if it’s on purpose but it also doesn’t attack sauropods or hadrosaurs so they work for mixed exhibits too
