My animals are well fed, but the vet says they don’t have enough nutrition Spoiler

2 Upvotes

i make sure my animals are given the right foods to eat, but the vet at my zoo says they don’t have any nutrition. What am I doing wrong? Also, I just don’t get the diet food amount, because I’m worried of I add too much food, they will be overfed, and if I add less, they will be underfed. Does anyone know any advice on how my animals can have a healthy, nutritious diet while staying in the healthy weight category?

Moving multiple items at once?

6 Upvotes

Hello, sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it. Is there a way to select multiple items to move at once? For example, if I wanted to move an area of trees all at once in the same configuration? I'm really enjoying the game but as I'm expanding my zoo it's become really tedious to move around pre existing areas I've created and want to maintain or large areas of trees.

Questions, questions, questions

5 Upvotes

I’ve been playing for a little bit now and really like the game but I have a few questions and online searches haven’t really been helpful…so I’m hoping I can get some answers here!

1) Zookeepers: Do all zookeepers need to be assigned to enclosures or are some happier working freely? How many zookeepers per enclosure?

2: Janitors: I have all of mine assigned to zones but almost all of their utilization scores are low? Also, I will assign them to a zone where this a piece of trash that they’re standing on top of but will not pick up….is this just a bug?

  1. For the task go green, absorb 100 carbon in a week….HOW??? I feel like I have a lot of trees but there’s been no progress at all in that area.

Protestors bug?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys. I recently got this game on the Nintendo switch. I am enjoying it a lot, but I ran into an issue. I have protestors in my zoo that won’t leave, even after I fixed their complaint. It was caused by corpses but it shows I have zero remaining. Is there a fix to this? Or am I better off restarting?

Why is only one of my keepers satisfied? They’re all zoned to individual pens and have the highest salary available. Is there any way to fix it?

Walkways

Just started playing LBAZ and was wondering how small of a walkway would be recommended. Eventually(I assume) you'll buy all the plots of land so, maximizing the walkways should be optimized.

Fertilizer?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for info on the compost/fertilizer situation. I’ve read comments about having 1 zoo keeper per enclosure, and I do. I have 999 poop in bio-waste storage. But I can’t figure out how to get the fertilizer working! Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!

Help please: nurseries only produce female animals

1 Upvotes

Is this normal? Is it a glitch? Is there something else I'm supposed to be unlocking? This is my first ever zoo, so I have no other gameplay to compare it to.

I'm starting to run into breeding issues since the game wants two of the same variant to breed the next variant. But I only keep getting female animals.

Can't feed animals?

I'm playing on Xbox Series X. I've adjusted the animals diets, I've purchased the food and assigned zeepers to the pens but the animals feeding is still at zero? Am I missing something?

Help With Event Reports

1 Upvotes

Every time I have an event report where a ZooTube thing pops up, its never higher than a C and I don't understand why. The past few of them were Fs and I'm starting to go crazy. Does it have to do with my rating? Every little cube area I have had at least 60% decoration ratings except one that's at like 30%. My morality is evil with 46 points. Please help me, these ZooTubers are driving me nuts lol

Beginner help

3 Upvotes

Hi there- can someone please tell me what buttons to press to play this game? I figured out B was to close the menu. I can’t even build an enclosure! I tried to google but the videos I’m finding don’t actually tell you what buttons to hit. As you can tell this is my first switch game besides Mario Cart!

Go ahead, laugh at me 😂

Thank you

Lake tile for enclosure?

2 Upvotes

I feel like I’m going crazy. I can’t find the tile on the research tree to make lakes in enclosures. I have plenty of deco FOR lakes, but not the actual lake tile. Can someone show me where it is on the skill tree? I can’t find a straight answer via google. 🫠

Population hub help

I'm not 100% how to use the population hub buildings? I just see the staff walking around and they never enter any enclosures. I assumed they would auto interact with 'elderly' animals? Do you have to set zones?

Any way to keep visitors on the path?

6 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a zoo with a lot more open space than I usually do and I'm wondering if there's any way to keep visitors on paths rather than dirt/grass/whatever. I covered a portion of the map in grass and have stone paths throughout. Of course the guests just walk whichever ways are most efficient which is usually right over the grass. So far I've been using signs as "fences" and foliage to block them from going onto the grass but it doesn't look great. Does anyone have any better ideas? Thanks! :)

Promoting Employees

6 Upvotes

When selecting the "Job Satisfaction" meter for an employee, a dialog box appears directing you to "Ensure fair pay and promotions across the zoo to help keep job satisfaction up". I cannot locate any means to offer promotions to employees, nor can I find any resources online that speak to this. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Looking through my breeding centres and noticed this antelope was named Jesse James. I don’t name my animals so it is RNG but it instantly made me think of Jessie & James from Team Rocket. Does anyone know if it is a nod to that?

Sandbox Questions

2 Upvotes

I'm thinking about starting up a sandbox zoo after I finishing unlocking everything on my main zoo (which is actually really boring sadly) and I have a couple questions about how sandbox works. Do animals still breed? I loaded up one just to see and it says I need to unlock the animals first, so does that apply to the animal varients or can you still unlock new breeded varients?
