Frontier Developments’ latest management simulation game has players return to Jurassic Park yet again to try making their dream prehistoric theme parks. Jurassic World Evolution 2 sees many familiar features get upgrades while other features such as customizing buildings and building aviaries and lagoons for reptiles like Mosasaurus spice things up.
One way players can upgrade their parks is by using expeditions to find new dinosaur fossils to extract DNA from to get new dinosaurs to put on display. However, along with the new fossils, players may get items that don’t have any dinosaur DNA, such as platinum ore or algal fossils. Sometimes, players can also receive fossils they can’t extract any more DNA from, and fans are better off selling these fossils as soon as they can.
How to Obtain New Dinosaur Fossils
Returning players who have played the first Jurassic World Evolution title may already be familiar with how fans can get newer fossils. The first step to getting the items requires going to the Expedition Center as it did in the first game, but this time, players need to rely on their scientists to dig up and bring the fossils back. Once dug up, they’ll be found at players’ Science Centers. Players can also use research nodes to unlock dig sites for even more dinosaurs to dig up.
How to Sell Fossils
It may seem confusing, but players can sell fossils the same way Jurassic World Evolution 2 dinosaur genomes are gathered. Once at the Science Center, players can select the fossils that have only monetary values alongside regular dinosaur fossils, and the money will come as part of the extraction process. This can help players out immensely as even the smallest fossil will earn roughly forty thousand dollars back out of the standard fifty dollar fossil extraction fees, with more valuable fossils leading to more of a profit.
Players should note that only a few select modes allow dinosaurs to be made by fossils. In modes like Campaign mode, players’ scientists will go out and catch the dinosaurs in question instead. For modes like Chaos Theory's Jurassic Park stage, if players find themselves unable to access fossil dig sites in Jurassic Park Evolution 2, it’s most likely due to their hired scientists not adding up to the full skill level needed with the limit in place.
Even if players have a high total, if their scientists don’t add up to the amount needed within three scientists, they’ll be locked out of the dig site. Fans may want to train, fire, and hire different scientists depending on what their needs are in regards to their personal version of Jurassic Park.
Jurassic World Evolution 2 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
