Time Limit:
18 months
Objectives:
1. Achieve a zoo rating of 75.
2. Achieve an average animal happiness rating of 75.
3. Exhibit at least 8 different dinosaur or prehistoric animal species.
4. Earn a suitability rating of at least 85 for 8 dinosaur exhibits.
Walkthrough:
Note: The objectives can be a little confusing. Whenever they say “dinosaur”
they really mean dinosaur or prehistoric animal. I’ll use the same convention
in my walkthroughs.
You start out with $150,000, and if you bulldoze everything in the park you
can add about $40,000 more. That’s probably enough right there to build eight
exhibits, provided you “go cheap” and put only one dinosaur per exhibit and
keep the suitability around 85. But it’s better instead to build a real zoo;
then you can practice with building regular exhibits, and, more importantly,
you can practice with making guests happy.
Still, just to be safe, it’s probably best to use some of the cheaper
dinosaurs. Here are some good ones to select:
1. Camptosaurus
2. Caudipteryx
3. Gallimimus
4. Giant Tortoise
5. Herrerasaurus
6. Plateosaurus
7. Stegosaurus
8. Triceratops
If you use those dinosaurs, then you don’t need to research anything (other
than some foliage, but even that is optional). But note that two of the
dinosaurs are downloads, and so if you don’t have them then substitute
something else, like the Plesiosaurus or the saber-tooth cat (the cat might be
good anyway, just because there’s a big patch of gray stone close to the zoo
entrance).
Then just build away. Add in pairs of restaurants, carousels, animal
theaters, and dinosaur cinemas, plus a gift shop, and you should make enough
money each month to build all the exhibits you need. Also, see if you can get
your guest happiness rating over 90; that’s as high as it needs to be for any
of the Dinosaur Digs scenarios.
