Hello everyone. I have reverted this file to the pre-Controlled Chaos version of the game. Due to the complexity of scripting unique versions, this version of the game does not have all facilities scripted but dinosaurs will calculate as appropriate. Points from facilities can be manually added by using the controls on the left side of the table.

If you would like a fully scripted version of the game with Controlled Chaos and the changes from New Arrivals, please use this version of the mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2299250985

Moving forward, all updates will happen there.

Oh! I am sorry, I misunderstood the problem. It appears we overwrote the wrong file at some point. That was not intended. I will have to check if we have an old file to revert back to.

Yes, HOW DO WE PLAY WITHOUT THE EXPANSION??

Hey there! Thanks for the response, I have checked that other mod and it currently does not have the new combined map, but I was looking for the mod that has a script that can add / remove the expansion content. As currently when I click setup, it sets-up everything.

Hi, you can play with the expansion by going to this alternate mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2299250985 . It also has the new combined map.

Hey there! Will there be an update to the rulebook that mirrors the new playmat that's been added? Also how do we play without the expansion?

The New Arrivals expansion is still coming. It will add new dinosaurs, specialists, and facilities.

It will be available alone through Kickstarter for returning backers or offered with a new Complete Edition of the game.

No word on that new expansion?

A mini expansion will be coming later this year.

Will there be other expansions?

@scottharg1 thanks for the love - did you see the expansion stuff here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2299250985

I had lots of fun playing this game

Controlled Chaos is officially released here! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2299250985

played 3 player the other day and when we went to the final round no visitors spawned on the track, but bonus visitors spawned in the bonus spot. dont think bonus visitors are supposed to show up in final round. also the dinosaur value track token updates with proper number but must be moved manually to reflect value on player board. great game just needs a few tweaks for TTS

Thanks pogle

Lordnine commented on that early in August: "I would love to bring Controlled Chaos to TTS but our mod maker has been incredibly busy lately. Waiting to hear back from him on when he will be able to take it on."

Do you have any intentions of adding the new Controlled Chaos expansion? I've been playing the physical game and its adds a lot of fun to the game, but I'd like to play it with my friends who don't live near me

Due to the number of variables in final scoring it is unlikely that it will ever be fully automated. If you would like to take a stab at it yourself, you can save a copy of the mod locally and then edit the scripting in your own local copy of the file.

I bought this board game last week and had a blast playing it over the weekend. When I saw it was on TTS, I didn't expect the mod to be made by the actual creators of the game! Congratz again on making such a fun game :)

Quick question, are there any plans to automate the End of Game scoring in some ways or will it be manual? Are we able to modify the scripts to allow this at all?

Thanks again!

Hi, I can't seem to replicate the problem with Park Mascots or Petting Zoo. Can you tell me the number of players you have in the game when the problem happens?

I would love to bring Controlled Chaos to TTS but our mod maker has been incredibly busy lately. Waiting to hear back from him on when he will be able to take it on.

As for an official French version of the mod, I appreciate your enthusiasm but that would be a sizeable undertaking all on its own. Currently it is a little beyond what we can provide personally.

Hello, thank you for a great game!
First, I noticed that the Park Mascots and Petting Zoo weren't awarding victory points for unique species or pairs during the upkeep phase. Is it possible to fix this?

Also, as a backer of the new expansion, I was wondering if there were any plans to add the expansion to this game in TTS?

Thanks again!

Hello and big up to ninth Games !
I am a proud and happy backer of the reprint (for the genuine Dinogenics and its expanson). Received it 3 weeks ago, and we already have a few sessions with it : such a good game (both for mechanics and immersion).
As a french player, i'm pretty sure a french translation of this mod would be appreciated in the french gamers community: how can I contribute to make it happen ?
Thanks again @Lordnine

Thank you for the updates. This is a fantastic mod of a fantastic game. You should really turn it into a DLC. It's as good as any of the available ones.

I was having issue with the petting zoo not giving victory points yesterday. I'll have to see later if this has been fixed.

Should be fixed now. That was an odd one, it was not actually a scripting issue but the height requirements on getting registered by zones appears to have changed.

Sorry, just found another scripting issue broken by the update. Both the Animatronic T-Rex and the Holodome Facilities no longer automatically update Reputation when played to a Player’s board. Not sure if it’s all Facility scripting or just these two as they were what got played and noticed.

👍

The mod has been updated to fix the scripting issues.

@Chatillion Thanks for the heads up. We are looking into a fix.

Just a heads up that the latest TTS Update seems to have broken some of the scripting in this Mod, assuming it's still being kept up. The Shift Market button has stopped working and the auto dealing of new facilities now deals to every slot instead of just the empty one. Everything works normally, if there are more the one of something in both the cards slots in the market and the building slots in the City Center, so something has changed in how it registers single objects I guess.

This is AMAZING to see a mod provided by the publisher. I too own Dinogenics - it's a GREAT game - and I am eagerly (but patiently!) awaiting the expansion along with a buttload of add-ons I purchased as well! Hopefully I can use this mod to share the game with some others while we're all hanging out indoors!! :)

@Lordnine-I own it already! I supported your 1st KS and also your 2nd! So you have my money ;) My group really likes this game and that's why we looked for it on TTS. Keep up the great work!

@teamwrong Thanks! I stand by my game 100% but board games are not cheap, and I know that not every game is going to appeal to every player. I believe people should have the chance to try before they buy and make up their own mind whenever possible. If you do enjoy the game though, consider picking up the real thing; we’re a pretty small company and would love to be able to keep making games in the future!

@#data The expansion update is still in the pipeline. It will most likely happen in May or June.

@creators-I didn't initially realize it was the creators that created this mod and my friends and I tried it this weekend. They mentioned they thought maybe y'all had created this and while I was taking a closer look at your 2nd KS (which I of course KS!) I noticed at the bottom the screenshot of the mod, which immediately made me realize who cool y'all are. Wow. A free mod on your own game. Y'all totally could have charged for this. You're all my heroes and the mod is solid. We only noticed a couple things that could be improved-which I'll take better notes next time and post on the board. Again, you're all pretty awesome.

Any word on if/when the expansion is likely to make its way on here? Love the game, missed the kickstarter, keen for more!

Thanks! We will be releasing an update with the expansion later in the year but we don’t have an exact date at this time.

Is there any word on if/when the expansion may come to the mod? You guys have made a fantastic game!

@kensuaga - That worked, thanks!
@Lordnine - Disappointing, but not unexpected. Thanks for confirming.

@ richpizor - Before picking the seats for hot seat mode make sure to load the DG mod first then go a round and pick everyone's seat. Let us know if that fixes your issue.

Hot seat play in general is a bit buggy with TTS scripting. If you just want to test it with multiple people, look inside the game box, there is an item called the dev board. Pull it out and just sit it on the table before hitting setup. It will treat the room as if a full 5 people were seated. You can then swap between seats.

Having the single player scenarios scripted is unlikely given how time intensive it would be. Sorry.

Also...any chance for the one-player scenarios getting scripted, or am I just being greedy?

So weird loop...I set up a hot seat game, player 1 gets to the end of their turn, I click the "END TURN" button. It tells me that it's player 1's turn. I hit the END TURN button. It tells me it's player 1's turn...what am I doing wrong?

The points tracker is now fully automated for all dinosaurs and facilities.

Okay. I kind of figured that out myself after I thought about it for a bit. Thanks for the info, JanDel. Appreciate it.

The VP-track is not scripted. 'Calculate VP's' gives you the VP's you have to add for that round, but you have to update the VP-track manually (note that you get those VP's every round). VP's you get from manipulation cards etc. should just be added to the VP track manually at the moment you play that card.

Love the game, lots of fun, a few things though. One, is the victory points for each dinosaur supposed to increase your victory points at the end of each season? It seemed to peter out at one point (my victory points stayed the same from one season to the next despite having visitors and dinosaurs in my park) also, how do we increase victory points for cards that do so such as private screening or effects from facilities such as Park Mascot?

Huh, you're right. Looks like we had an old file left in the mod. I will see about getting that updated.

Thanks for providing this wonderful game on TTS!

I did notice a small difference between my retail-copy and the TTS version. The 'Misdirection' manipulation card shows 'reposition up to THREE workers' on my retail copy, whereas it shows 'up to FOUR' on TTS. I presume this is an older version of this card?

Anyway, great work on this game and on the TTS version, thanks again!

Would love to platy a game some time. Looks very neat.

"was" ... ???? I'm still alive XD ..... J/K
