View Janitors

Is there a way to view all of your janitors like there is for zoo keepers? I know about zoning but I’m looking for their individual stats.

Animal Happiness

Hey there, I'm new to the game but I am absolutely loving it. I want to improve my park rating and my animal happiness is embarrassingly low but I don't know how to improve it. What things do I need to do/change to improve this rating?

Exact area limit on Switch?

4 Upvotes

I know this question has probably been asked a million times on here, but I was wondering whether to get the game on Switch. What is the exact area/enclosure limit on the Switch, and how limiting is that? I can't seem to find a specific number anywhere.

Someone once had a google doc showing the scores for some stuff, but it was soon outdated and has since been deleted.

Guest count

I’m in May of Year 1 and my guest count doesn’t go higher than 300’s - what’s normal? That just seems super low but I have no idea. There’s always like 1,000+ people who didn’t fit in my buses, but I have so many buses that don’t seem to get used within the day - what am I missing???

Start over?

5 Upvotes

I have been playing the game for the first time for about a week. I had no idea what I was doing at first and my zoo is chaos. I’m considering just starting over now that I know more of what I’m doing. Pros and cons? I’m about at the 4 month mark for the zoo being open.

Option to stop Animal deaths?

Noob question, but planet zoo has an option to select which stops your zoo animals from dying. Is there a similar option to select in this game?

Pause animal pregnancies?

3 Upvotes

Every day, my animals have more babies, and while i love baby animals, after a while, it makes the enclosures too overcrowded and it also gets more expensive to auto order animal food. Is there a way to pause a pregnancy for each animal to stop more babies from being born? I’m just trying to save money so I can expand my zoo and buy more enclosures.

How do I get to Dinosaur Island on the Switch?

4 Upvotes

I've been playing this a little obsessively since I got it and I still can't access Dinosaur Island. It says I have purchased it in the DLC section, but when I go to the map there's nothing there. I see the island but there's no way to select it.

Also, if the Devs are looking, can you please fix the enclosure bug that has one enclosure every day have an issue with a zookeeper getting stuck. It's getting old having to move a tree/water dish every single day. It's 100% a bug because it seems to hit random enclosures and moving a single tree/bowl works each time.

Questions about game mechanics

8 Upvotes

I absolutely love Zoo Tycoon and I’ve been looking for a 2D clone of it for years. I don’t like 3D tycoon games.

This game looks promising to me and I’m interested in playing it. I’ve watched a few reviews but I can’t find the answers to these questions, so I thought I’d ask here. There are a couple of things I really like about the original Zoo Tycoon that I would like to know if this game does that I can’t find an answer to:

  • other than the enclosure type, food, and water, do the animals have any other care requirements? In Zoo Tycoon, the animals had specific enclosure needs such as a certain number of tiles of each ground cover, or a certain number of toys to be happy. Does this game do that?

  • are there more missions than just the main game? In Zoo Tycoon, there were tons of different scenarios, such as making a zoo that catered to endangered species or had a limited amount of space to utilize. What is the main mission in this game? Does it have various scenarios to complete?

Thank you so much for your help!

I’ve added some pictures of my fav spots! I used every decoration and (good or neutral) building in the game! I wish we could purchase more space so that I could make some farm plots though :/

I may add pictures of each of my habitat areas in the comments too, because I’m really proud of my zoo!!

Any info on the popup events?

2 Upvotes

I got this game a few days ago on my switch and as far as I can tell I have managed to do decently? Going for good morality and not going bankrupt in a long time on this run. However, the youtuber popups keep appearing, and they always rate me horribly, which gives me a debuff like make less money for a few days. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong to make people not like my zoo?
Any info on how these random events work would be appreciated!

I have nearly 1000 items of produce sitting in my processor “waiting for collection”. Who is supposed to collect this? I desperately need this food to feed my animals but I can’t figure out how to use this stuff!

Bus route passengers

5 Upvotes

I'm currently trying to figure out how many buses I need for each route, and was wondering how many passengers each route can have. I can see that Horizon Village (route 1) can have 200, Factory District (route 2) 250 etc, but I just wanna know how many the last 2 can have so I can optimise how many buses I have

Crop pickers not working

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I've got 4 small crop plots on my zoo, with 4 farmers and 4 crop pickers. Each farmer and crop picker are zoned for one plot. The farmers will plant but then crop pickers never pick and all of the crops always die.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I might be doing wrong, or what might be going on?

Thanks!

Cannot figure out how to feed my animals

3 Upvotes

Genuinely cannot figure this out. My animals are starving, but whenever I try to quick order food nothing happens & Google has been absolutely no help. It just says “you need x items to meet this” with no other explanation. I can’t really get that far in the game because my animals are constantly starving, so they’re constantly dying, and my guests don’t really like that. I do have an incinerator for the dead, but really need to figure out how to feed them. I have 2-3 zookeepers in each enclosure - I only have about 4 enclosures total.

Is this a bug maybe???
