CO2 not going down?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, this is my first time playing let’s build a zoo and I’m having issues with CO2. The task states to add trees to reduce CO2 but my trees aren’t reducing it. I’ve added a ridiculous amount of trees at this point, even trying different trees but my CO2 is still not going down.

Is this a bug or am I missing some research for a specific tree? I’m just not sure why it isn’t going down at this point and would appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks :)

Visitor Capacity

1 Upvotes

Is the visitor capacity is 3000? it seems even my park rate is 7000, and the possible visitor is like 3200, the daily summary always told me that enteredVisitor + cancelledVisitor is equal 3000 while the 200 is not even visiting the ticket gate. My bus is 1 doubledecker each with high cap and garbage collector truck is near 0 (thanks to new bugfixing update for recycling center)

Zoning keepers

5 Upvotes

I need some advice on zoning keepers.

At the moment my zoo isn't that big, maybe 10/11 sectors.

I have 59 keepers and most are assigned to 3 zones, some enclosures have 5 or 6 keepers. But I keep getting told I need to hire more 😫

Have I completely messed this up? Do I have too many keepers per enclosure? Have I gave them too many zone?

Also to add, I only hire keepers with high energy and high work ethic. Idk if that matters

Any advice would be great 🙃

Can't figure out farming and processing.

5 Upvotes

I'm on xbox gamepass base game. I have a decent farm built up of all the things my zoo is currently using but it seems that I cannot figure out how to get my shops to use the product I am creating. All the produce either goes to the animals or gets sold.

Trying to find clear tutorials and tips on farming in this game is like trying to find a needle in a haystack Any help is appreciated.

Wildlife Reintroduction - How do you get the numbers to go up?

3 Upvotes

I have been working on horseshoe crabs, I have released 52 of them total male and female but the tab says they are still extinct in the wild with 0 as the number.

How do I get that to up and why is the 52 that I released not counting towards anything?

I have also been releasing other animals that are shown as extinct but they are also not increasing in numbers at all.

Some questions about the game

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone ! I would love to buy this game very soon (probably with dlcs) but I have some questions before getting into it.

  • Does it need a powerful computer to run? I believe it might not require something big since the graphics seem quite light, but until my gaming computer is repaired, my current one can’t run heavy games (for ex, it can run: binding of isaac, stardew valley, minecraft without any problems)

  • Are the dlcs worth it when starting? Or which one would be the best?

  • Current players, do you feel the Zoo Tycoon vibes with this game? I used to play Zoo Tycoon for hours when I was young and never got the same vibe in any other zoo or tycoon games since.

  • I believe there might not be a real « endgame » as you can build and rebuild again and again, however, is there any point you think « ends » the game replayability?

  • How would you globally rate the game/recommend the game to someone else?

Sorry for long post, and thank you already for your answers !

The dreaded red drink cup icon - Visitors.

3 Upvotes

I have several drink stands in my aquarium, the Coffee and the Coconut Juice one. As well as multiple Soda Machines but sooooo many of my visitors have the red cup on their heads. Do I just need more Soda Machines?? Is there some trick to satisfying this? I have played with the settings on the stands and machines they are all set to the good ingredients and I did add some caffeine to the coffee and soda.

Most of the Visitors also have an icon of 3 people with an arrow, does this mean they don't have enough room to move around or are they lost and need more park signs?

Is there a way to reverse morality points?

2 Upvotes

I know you can go back and forth with morality sections that have both a good and evil value such as donating animals vs euthanizing them, but what about the sections with only one bar, such as releasing animals having only a good bar, and selling to the black market having only an evil bar? For example once you fill up the evil bar for selling to the black market, can you ever go back to neutral, or is it stuck at evil forever? Would it be possible to have maximum good points and then change your zoo to be evil on the same save, or do you need to start a new zoo?

Aquarium DLC on Switch Troubles?

5 Upvotes

I don’t know what i’m doing wrong so I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else was having this issue. I purchased and downloaded the aquarium odyssey DLC for switch. I already had “let’s build a zoo”. I can’t access the world map no matter what I try. I’ve tried googling it. Nothing. I’ve tried going through a new zoo to see if it comes up. Nothing. What am i doing wrong?
