How to unlock the How did you do this? achievement in Jurassic World Evolution - Definitive Guide
The Island Rating is based on the average of two different stats: the Dinosaur Rating and the Facility Rating. In order to obtain 5 stars for your island, you must achieve 5 stars for both dinosaurs and facilities at the same time. These ratings are based on several different stats, and in this guide I will offer tips to maximise these stats and help you earn 5 stars.
To check your Island Rating, press to go into Island Management, then on Island Rating. Here, you can see a summary of the dinosaur and facility ratings, and you can to press to see more information. This information will be our main tool for raising the ratings to 5 stars.
Dinosaur Rating
Each individual dinosaur has a numerical rating based on its species, genes, and welfare. The Dinosaur Rating is simply the sum of the rating of all of your dinosaurs.
Ways to improve dinosaur rating
- Base Rating: Dependent on species, larger dinosaurs will provide a larger rating.
- Authenticity: Dependent on the completeness of the genome, will provide the maximum bonus at 100% genome. Does not decrease with modifications.
- Modifications: Modifying the genome in the Hammond Creation Lab will change the dinosaurs statistics and increase the rating. Adding modifications to the genome will not decrease the authenticity rating of the dino. Modifications decrease viability, so too many may cause the dino to fail to hatch. This can be rectified with a Success Rate upgrade to the Creation Lab.
- Combat Infamy: If a dinosaur wins a fight, its rating can increase by up to half of the defeated dinosaurs rating.
- Welfare Penalty: If the dinosaurs health and comfort are low, its rating will decrease. Ensure that it has enough food and water, enough room in the enclosure with the right amount of grassland and forest, and that the population in the enclosure is not too high (or low). Ensure these needs are met for the rating to be restored.
- Variety Rating: This is not included in an individual dinosaurs rating, but having too many of the same species will cause you to lose points in your overall rating.
The spoiler below contains a list of dinosaurs and their ratings, as well as some notes on dinosaur enclosures and populations.
The required rating for 5 stars is different for each island. I had 5 stars at:
- Isla Matanceros: 1000
- Isla Muerta: 1500
- Isla Tacaño: 2000
- Isla Pena: 2000
- Isla Sorna: 2500
- Isla Nublar: 2500
Facility Rating
You have to accommodate and entertain all of the guests to your island, as well as keep them safe. The more satisfied they are with the facilities, the greater your rating will be.
Safety
- Shelter Protection: This is based on the coverage of your emergency shelters. Place the shelters so that they cover as many hotels, viewing galleries, viewing platforms and gyrostations as possible.
- Guest Injuries: This will stay low as long as dinosaurs stay in their enclosures: if they do break out, activate the shelters as soon as possible to minimise guest deaths. If guests do die, this stat will recover over time.
Capacity
- Operational Hotels: The more guests you have, the more hotels you need. You should have at least 1 hotel on each island. If the summary screen states that you only have "Okay Capacity", press on one of your hotels and check the "Park Overcrowding" stat - if this is over about 10%, then you should build another hotel.
- Another way to increase capacity is to increase the number of staff in your amenities. Press on any guest building, press to go to the "Manage" tab, scroll down to the "Manage Staff" option and press . You can now adjust the slider to increase or decrease the number of staff in the building. This will increase the number of guests that can use the building. For example, a Gift Shop might have 240/240 guests, but increasing the staff may increase that to 320/435 guests. Do note that upkeep will increase with more staff,
so be sure to increase prices to cover that cost.
Guest Satisfaction
This is based on dinosaur visibility, transport rating, and the amenity (food, drink, fun and shopping) ratings.
- Dinosaur Visibility: Ensure that viewing platforms and galleries cover most of the enclosure. Place feeders close to the galleries so that dinosaurs congregate in front of the galleries.
- Transport Rating: This is based on walking distance between hotels and amenities, including monorail coverage. Try to have one main path that goes across the entire island, with smaller paths branching off of this and connecting to the amenities. Have monorail stations connecting hotels and entertainment districts to main dinosaur enclosures.
- Amenity Rating: Each amenity building has a star rating based on the services that it provides. Try to keep a balance of all types close to hotels and enclosures. The most basic setup is to have a Fast-Food and a Gift Shop near all enclosures. Use the management views (the eyeball symbol on the left hand side of the screen) to see what services are in demand and where. The spoiler below lists the services provided by all of the amenity buildings.
Once all ratings are 90% or above, and you have great capacity and safety, you will have 5 stars for the facility rating.
Final Guest and Hotel Count
-Isla Matanceros: 2100+ Guests, 1 Hotel
-Isla Muerta: 5000+ Guests, 2 Hotels
-Isla Tacaño: 8200+ Guests, 4 Hotels
-Isla Pena: 2000+ Guests, 1 Hotel
-Isla Sorna: 12000+ Guests, 7 Hotels
-Isla Nublar: 10000+ Guests, 5 Hotels
Finally, once you have obtained 5 stars in both the Dinosaur Rating and the Facility Rating, you will receive 5 stars for that Island. When you reach 5 stars, there will be a small voiceover by Dr Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). If the rating does later drop to below 5 stars, it will still count towards the achievement, meaning that it will still unlock as long as each island reached 5 stars at least once. Isla Nublar is not required for this achievement, but is required for some of the InGen Database entries.
Once complete, enjoy your successful islands and your 70G achievement.
Other notes and tips:
Isla Nublar (sandbox) is NOT required for this achievement.
**My Achievement unlocked**
Build a Power Station.
Then just build a giant enclosure, sectioned off into 6 paddocks while Leaving a walled alleyway from a Hammond Center. This way when you release a dinosaur, you can open a gate specifically for their paddock. Put water to cross the fences between 2 sections. Get a Ranger Station and ACU Station. Fill with dinosaurs! Fill one with the low population herbivores, 1 with 2 Ceras or 3 Diplos, throw some version of Triceratops, Stegos, whatever you want. Throw a T-Rex in one. Make sure (for variety’s sake) you throw a Gallimimus, Archeo, and Struthiomimus somewhere, and if you haven’t hit 5 stars for Dinosaurs, then be ready to hatch as many high value, not yet used, dinos back to back. I-Rex, I-Raptor, whatever. Just release them all at once. Your rating will fill up quickly.
DO NOT MAKE RAPTORS.
Once you’ve done all of this, you should hit 5 stars for both Dinosaurs and Facility. If you hit 5 stars for Dinosaurs, but your Facility rating is not there yet, close your park. You are probably over-crowded. You’ll hit it quickly.
I hit 5 stars on all 5 islands by using this method.
You do not have to have 5 Stars on all Islands at the same time. Once you reach 5 Stars for the Island, it does not matter if it falls back down again. I did not use modified Dinos to complete this.
Do you know if you have to have 5 stars all at the same time or just hit 5* on each?
Was the tracker disabled for anyone else on this achievement?

To get 5 stars on every Island is not that big of a deal, if you just follow the steps below.
Here is a walkthrough of what to do to get a 5-Star Island Rating on any island:
- Start out with 3-4 Struthiomimus as they are a low cost dinosaur, they don't require much food and will attract guests, even when it is modified it is under 100K each, also apply the Success Rate upgrade on all 3 slots in the Hammond Creation Lab.
- Always make a Ranger Station as one of the first things (upgrade the building with team Schedule so they can do 5 things before returning to base and add 2 more teams when you have the money for it) as you need to refill the food for the dinosaurs.
- Always take the power station with the most capacity (upgrade it with 2 Outage Protection and 3 Improved Output if it is a big power station, if it is small or medium simply make sure that the risk of power outage from the improved output is lowered by the Outage Protection to 0%) that way you don't have to tear down a smaller power station later and replace it. Also use the large substation when you unlock it. Always remember to check on your power station when you build something new that needs power, if you are starting to lack in power simply build a new power station, apply the upgrades and connect it to the power grid.
- On some Islands like Isla Pena and Isla Sorna you will have tornadoes from time to time, and Isla Muerta will have some bad weather to but no tornadoes, so build and power Storm Defense Station's around your buildings so you can minimize the damages, of the storm and help your guests feel a bit safer.
- Build a Expedition Center and upgrade it with Dig Yield and Dig Speed and keep sending out dig teams.
- Build a Fossil Center and apply the Research Speed and Inventory Space upgrades, so you can research the DNA from the fossils and complete every genome on every dinosaur and in the meantime sell all the fossils you can't use and make fast and easy money that way.
- Build a Research Center, apply the Research Speed and Research Cost upgrades on the building so you can research the upgrades and the cures for the diseases.
- Release low budget dinosaur's like the Edmontosaurus as it is also cheap. Make sure to have enough feeders for all your dinosaurs. Release dinosaurs until you feel like it is enough of a buffer for the income, just don't go below 1 million and mix it up with the dinosaurs, as long as you keep their comfort needs in mind.
- Remember to build Emergency Shelters, Viewing gallery (Gyrostation and take the expensive option and charge double for it when you unlock it), hotels and shops for your guests. With the shops always take the most expensive item and charge double for it, also make sure to build the shops in attractive places like near dinosaur enclosures and so on. Keep checking in on the Facility rating and build whatever your park needs for the satisfaction.
- Build a monorail station (when you have unlocked it) and make sure that the tracks go through the enclosures so the guests who travels can see the dinosaurs. Now you should start to think of a new enclosure for the Carnivores or the Herbivores with low population numbers.
- Now you can start to think bigger regarding the dinosaurs, either release a big rated Herbivore like the Diplodocus or a Carnivore like the Ceratosaurus. If you choose the Ceratosaurus make two and if you can afford it, pair it with smaller Carnivores like the Dilophosaurus. Make sure once again that they have food, also make sure if it is a Carnivore you choose to make, the best enclosure is a Electric Enclosure, as it will feel uneasy when a storm comes and try to break out.
- Make sure you have Emergency Shelter's that reach every corner of where your guests are and have Storm Defense Stations that cover your buildings.
- If you don't have enough stars on the dinosaurs rating, simply keep adding different dinosaurs and make sure you fulfill their needs. At this stage you should have a lot of money.
- Build whatever your guest's need, to get 5 stars in Facility Rating, or go back and check on the shops you already have and if they are filled with guests add managers to the shops so you can house more customers.
You can actually go to an Island you already have a lot of money on and send out dig teams. This island will pay for the extraction of the DNA. Also if you struggle to get the last half star in Facility Rating simply go and close the park, by the entrance and reopen it a few minutes later and you should get it. Take as many contracts as you can as it is sometimes a good way to make money. Get the missions out of the way as quickly as possible as it is a major boost in money you get from it, and it will usually help on your Island rating anyway.
Here is a look at how it should look when you have a 5 star rating.
It also helps in general to examine the island on the “triangle”.
The advice is this - Monorail station from there is a road to the Hotel and five types of objects "bar + restaurant + toilet + clothing store + slot machine hall."
It is better to build the first monorail station before the entrance to the park, because guests don't like to come.
It is NOT necessary to close the monorail on both sides.
The number of hotels needs to be built depending on the size of the island.
It is NOT necessary to connect the entire park with roads. Roads can go from the monorail station and further to attractions and observation points.
Establishments for guests will operate actively close to the “lookout” areas.
It will also help in getting the trophy, if most of the goodies for the guests have already been done
"close -> wait 2 minutes -> open park"
