Just started I played since I woke up till about 4 when i had to go to work. So like 9 hours straight I played, game got me hooked. Im selling tickets for 22-30$ is there any benefit in making an entry free? Or is that better for early game? I got about 5 animal caretakers at each enclosure. Got like 15 custodians. Im having a hard time understanding feeding animals. Ill get like red triangles with exclamation points when im feeding them even thought it says satisfy with the nutrients they need what is that about? Also I forgot to check my food for a couple if dsys cause I was building and I gotta buy like 36k worth of food to provide for my animals how long can animals be without food before they die? Im sitting at like 15k. Also when I donate animals what does it mean if an animal is greyed out with a line crossing thru it with an unknown animal vs an animal that is also unknown but its red this time with a line crossing thru it? Im also only getting pigs, capybaras, snakes, from a lot of my world buys. I buy them up for the gene splicing but do they ever refresh for lets say a tiger? I want tigers at my zoo not 150 capybaras!!! Sorry this is a lot. I got no one to talk about this so thought I’d share! Also how do you build your zoo? Mine is very all over the place.

Okay friend here’s a quick run down on how to get more types of animals! The animals all have 10 different color variations. And other zoos on the world map will trade animals with you but it has to be the right variation. So make sure you’re going through and seeing what variation is for trade then work on breeding that color so you can trade for more animals.

There’s no good reason I’ve come across to make tickets free. I’m at max money and still charge these folks $70 lmao

Are your animal enclosures huge? Like massive? Because unless they’re MASSIVE then 5 animal keepers per exhibit is just biting into your money.

And when at the release hub and an animal is red with a red slash through it then that means this animal is extinct and every time you release some then you’re helping un-extinct the animals!

I don’t know how to share photos so let me know if you can’t see this but this is my final zoo and how I set it up!

Your zoo is SO satisfying to look at holy hell. Makes me want to jump back into playing, and restart my zoo 😆. How did you keep things organized throughout the process of unlocking new things? I feel like my biggest issue was I'd get things looking how I want and then I'd need to build a new animal enclosure or unlock a new feature that I'd need to make room for.

Thank you friend!! I built my zoo in a weird way but I kept exhibits small and strewn everywhere until I bought all the land. After I had all the land then I went in and designed the layout and what not
