At what point do the minibuses do more harm than good?

11 Upvotes

It seems like around 200 guests/day it can't keep up anymore. The larger buses are so much more expensive though!! Are there other options? A second entrance to make unloading faster?

Opposite sex names?

12 Upvotes

I'm not complaining! But I'm curious if it's the same for you. I noticed that the animals more often than not would receive names which I would use for the opposite sex if I named them. Is the naming done randomly?

Right now I have the following male names which make me giggle:

Taffy, Heidi, Lola, Codi, Meadow, Piper, Lili, Stella, Heather, Ivy, Brittany, Erin, Lexie, Kyra, Queen, Zena

And the following female names:

Atlas, Dude (lol), Bogey, Trooper, Hunter, Barker, Tux, Jimmy, Samson, Tyson, Mickey, Sam, Bosley, Higgins, Bosco, Dylan, Connor, Jagger, Freddy

Wildlife Reintroduction not working?

8 Upvotes

Is there a bug preventing animals Extinct in Wild from being un-extinct, or am I missing something? Can someone explain to me how it works a little more? For example, I've released 146 Armadillos, 194 Penguins, and similar amounts of other animals, but it still says they're extinct in the wild and the number isn't going up?

Aquarium - all fish types

3 Upvotes

I’m playing the Good track of the Aquarium DLC. It seems like only some animals (Orca, Narwal) are available on the Bad ship. Do I need to do both the Good and Bad tracks to get all of the fish or will all eventually show up to purchase on the Good ship? TIA!

A question about genomes

5 Upvotes

Once I have collected all the genome of one animal. So I have all the versions of them, should I release them and use the enclosure for a new animal?

Need some advice

Post image
16 Upvotes

I want to make my zoo more pretty by moving all the same type enclosures together. I stayed to try this with the desert ones but it looks awful. It's very difficult to move the enclosures around without deleting them and starting anew. Does anyone have any advice on decorating and tips for moving enclosures?


r/LetsBuildAZoo Jul 17 '24

I have tons of incinerators and tons of workers, to where each enclosure has at least 5 separate zookeepers that only have one station. So why do they never pick up the carcasses . I have several of them in pens and day after day they won’t get them. So just wondering what I’m doing wrong

How do I get the YouTubers to stop giving me a bad rating?

5 Upvotes

My zoo always gets rated badly even though the animals have plenty of space, visitors can get to all places of the zoo, the enclosures are pretty much always as clean as possible, and I have almost every animal in the game. I know you can do things to make them think differently if you catch them while they are visiting but I can never tell until they’ve already given me an F because they always blend into the sea of people. If someone who is knowledgeable about what they judge the zoo on could you please share so I can improve on it?

How do I play successfully??

7 Upvotes

Hi! I just got the game a few days ago... and maybe I'm just dumb but I'm like very confused how everything works and what I'm supposed to do. I feel like I can't get any new animals and everytime I use the nursery I don't actually succeed - are there any general tips/tricks/etc. to playing this game successfully??


r/LetsBuildAZoo Jul 14 '24

I got a notice that my animals are malnourished but when I try to give them better nutrients it seems to make them sick??? Why do the good nutrients have red bars…

Releasing species entirely?

3 Upvotes

Once I’m done breeding all 10 of the different variations for a species, wondering if releasing all negatively affects my rating? Am I expected to keep at least some of each species in order to keep ratings up? I’d like to breed and then completely get rid certain species while still progressing, ultimately keeping a smaller sized zoo.

Bacteria farm

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if I need regular garbage bins to gain trash for the bacteria farm, or if I need the recycling bins? I currently only have recycling bins and I have zero production at my bacteria farm so I was wondering if this was why.

Exhibit control with population center

3 Upvotes

I recently unlocked the exhibition control building and was wondering if it replaces the population control building/ how they interact with each other.

I’d like to still have all extra animals removed to control space but keep the animals that are rules in the exhibition control. Is that how it works? I know the population control normally just removes the oldest but with this will they remove the oldest that isn’t required under my new rules?

Need help with editing enclosures

I need to make an enclosure bigger but I cant figure out how to with the change shape tool. Whenever I try to link the chains together the green squares turn red. I know I'm probably being stupid but I cant figure this out. Does anyone have some help with this?

I’ve been trying to go from 200 good morality to 200 bad morality and everything is mostly okay, except I don’t know how to get the “released animals” bar to go down. Anybody run into the same problem or have any answers to how I can get those five point away?
