If you're expanding your dinosaur roster in Jurassic World Evolution 3, unlocking new fossil dig sites is key. Especially if you want to add heavy-armoured herbivores like Chungkingosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and Nodosaurus to your park.
Here's a complete breakdown of how to unlock dig sites containing Chungkingosaurus fossils, including research requirements, scientist points, and costs.
🧬 How to Unlock Chungkingosaurus Fossils
To gain access to dig sites with Chungkingosaurus fossils, you'll need to research Armored Herbivores Dig Sites 1. Completing this research project will unlock fossil locations for:
- Ankylosaurus
- Nodosaurus
- Chungkingosaurus
Once unlocked, you can send your expedition teams to the new dig sites and start collecting the fossils needed to bring these armoured giants back to life.
Once you have found the fossils, you can increase the genome of Chunkingosaurus by starting fossil extraction.
🔬 Armored Herbivores Dig Sites 1 - Research Requirements
Here's what you'll need to start the research:
- Logistics: 9 points
- Genetics: 2 points
- Scientist Limit: 5
- Cost: $180,000
- Research Time: 2 minutes
Make sure your scientists have enough skill points in logistics and genetics to meet the requirements, or assign multiple scientists to reach the threshold.
💡 Tips for Fast Unlocking
Want to start incubating the Chunkingosaurus even faster? Follow these tips to unlock the Armored Herbivores Dig Sites 1 research even faster.
- Train your scientists early. Investing in logistics training will make research projects like this one much easier.
- Alternatively, hire another scientist with enough logistics points.
- While $180,000 isn't the most expensive research, combining it with fossil extraction costs adds up. Secure income by placing consumer buildings like shops and food stalls.
- Time your research. The 2-minute timer may seem short, but efficient research planning keeps your park growth smooth.
🌿 Why You'll Want the Chungkingosaurus
The Chungkingosaurus is a mid-sized, spiked herbivore with a distinctive row of tail spikes that make it an interesting dinosaur to add to your park.
It's not only visually striking but also helps diversify your herbivore enclosures with armoured variety - making your park feel more complete and realistic.
It is also a requirement in campaign mode once you reach the Asia region. In Sichuan Basin in China, you'll be creating a true sanctuary for large herbivores from the Sauropod family, but also have at least 10 species and 3 cohabiting species. At least 1 of those is going to be the Chungkingosaurus.
In the "Earn a new site area" storyline, one of the targets is "Increase genome of Chungkingosaurus to 70%". A single expedition is enough to gather enough fossils. Depending on your research and unlocked genomes so far, you might have to extract fossils twice.
🦕 Final Thoughts
Unlocking Armored Herbivores Dig Sites 1 is a small investment for big rewards. With access to the Ankylosaurus, Nodosaurus, and Chungkingosaurus, your park gains some of the toughest, most awe-inspiring herbivores in Jurassic World Evolution 3.
So, assemble your science team, fund the research, and get ready to dig up the fossils that will bring the Chungkingosaurus roaring back to life!
