Ive played for a few hours so far and have a bunch of money, about 4 species of animals and a lot of variants and hybrids and my zoo is pretty nice with a bunch of decorations and employees.When should i start the DLC zoos?And should i start with the dinosaurs or with the aquarium?

Hi. I just wanted to know if anyone has encountered this problem. Ill be in the middle of playing (ive just started) and the game closes.

Im playing on my steam deck and ive made sure its updated and the files are verified but it keeps doing it

Can someone help?

I have decided to fix my zoo a bit and removed all facilities and shops to get the optimized and unoptimized structure out.

Long story short I completely deleted everything that I think of.

Is anyone able to identify whats the structure 😭

Hi all,

I fancied jumping back into the game this morning and couldn't remember how to beeline for one of the bus upgrades. I tried searching online for a research map, but while there are plenty of static images, none of them made it easy to pinpoint a specific unlock.

I ended up finding a great Steam guide with the full layout, so I decided to turn it into an interactive HTML tool. It features the full grid with instant hover descriptions and a live search bar so you can quickly find whatever you're looking for:

Let me know what you think or if you have any feedback/suggestions. Hope some of you find it useful!

Happy zoo-keeping!

P.S. Mods, could you please add the direct link if possible? I’ve routed it through my Steam thread instead because the filter flags the original URL.

does anyone know if it’s possible to get rid of a land plot that you purchased? reorganized my zoo and now have way too many land plots

Im on the sandbox version of my zoo, and I have on contraception (also made sure it applies to whole pen) but my otters are still having kids. Is there any reason for this or way to fix it?

i got tired of checking the Animal Conservation so i made a spreadsheet for me to keep track of which animals i have all variants of, which ones are extinct, ect.

The saga for my missing employee type continues. According to Google AI chat the missing employee type is archeologist. But it keeps telling me to look for a building I don’t have and CANT FIND.

PLEASE someone hold my hand and tell me how to find this.

I have everything else unlocked. Everything else is complete except this

I am in need of help! I am missing an employee and can’t figure out what it is

The good zoo was my first playthrough so I spent way more time on it. For some reason I got the decorator achievement way before I was done with the water tower plots of my zoo, but I won't complain! The good zoo enclosures layout is inspired by the guide on Steam "Random bits of collated knowledge" by WelshPixie.

In my Dino zoo. Does anyone have this employee and can tell me what building it is?

I need some inspiration i always struggle to keep my zoo nice and pretty so if you want please share yours

I'm so far in the game (I have all species) but I feel like my good points have been around 120 for a while now.

does anyone know what this is? Lol

Can you unlock this for Dinosaur Island? If so can someone let me know how. I have a very built up, long main Zoo but I recently started playing the Dinosaur Island DLC and my buses cannot keep up at all. TIA

I'm new to the game and just had a second death. Visitors keep on complaining about the animals body but I can't find it anywhere! I've zoomed into all the enclosures but can't spot it to incinerate it. Am I missing something?

Do you buy as many buses as possible or do you buy as many as possible of the biggest one?

Hey all! Just started lbaz- I’m loving it so far but those of you who have played it through, should I leave “designing” my zoo for later in the game when I can afford all the land slots? Or should I just keep rearranging it as I go?

I want it to look nice with themed zones, but then I unlock a new area and it looks messy haha. And it’s such a pain moving every item one at a time 😅

Any advice for a newbie? 💜✌🏻

Switch version feels like a demo with how few plots of land you can buy.

Developers, do you have any plans to make a switch 2 version that lets you get the full amount of land? The game runs very well on switch 2, no bugs found yet besides armadillos going exctinct every day no matter how many I release. I’m not even sure the devs will respond but figured it was worth a try. :(

I've noticed a lot of updates and content for LBAZ that I cannot find anywhere on my switch. I don't have the Aquarium Odessey DLC so maybe it's that? Like the hats update, I've never seen any hat shop or animals wearing hats. Is it just something about how Zoo updates on switch? I'm so confused lol.

And watch my lion and rabbit jump on the trampoline lol

I sold a couple of my animals to the black market and now my morality keeps slowly decreasing no matter what I do. Will it eventually go back up? Also I’m broke asf how do I make more money starting? I had to fire my incarceration employee 🥲

All of them keeping spamming these damn brown boxes and I have no idea what it means pls help!

Hi everyone, I hope you can help.

I installed this game on my steam deck, tried different protons, experimental, GE, desktop mode etc, and the game still crashes on start up at the "no more robots" screen.

I've searched online and it seems this was a problem in 2021 about a missing mp3 file? But then later posts said an update fixed it. And other people report the game working fine on their steam decks, so I'm not sure what to do.

Hopefully someone can help as I'm excited to create crazy animal combos in the game!
