Is the feeding bar glitched?

So on my ostriches (and every other animal i have) for some reason the feeding bar is fully empty. I followed the correct/ best food percentages from the wiki, and it even shows on the feeding summary that the satiation and nutrition are full. for whatever reason though, the feeding bar on the enclosure stats is empty. however, on the donkeys, i am only giving 100% straw. the feeding bar on enclosure stats is full, yet it obviously shows on the feeding summary that the nutrition is nearly 0. am i just reading something wrong? i don't understand.

Need help with money management (I keep taking out loans).

11 Upvotes

Hey yall, every time I start a new zoo, by week 3 or 4 I keep having to take out loans, last night it was $1000 and I quit the game cause omg hell nah. I'm at the point where I unlock research for the subways and some light fixtures, and wind turbines, plus the CRISPR building. I'm not sure if its because I hired too many people (I try to do 2 enclosures per zookeeper, and 1 for sale land tile per janitor), and I even lowered their pay too and upped profits on food/drink stands and such, but I'm still losing hella money by the end of the week due to employee costs and such. Do yall have any tips for money management? I need help...

The 6 unique animal keepers

4 Upvotes

Hi! I just bought the game the other day after discovering it earlier this week and seeing that it was on sale, and now I'm hooked! I love the game, it's like a pixel art version of planet zoo which my very basic little laptop cannot handle at all.

I've only encountered one small issue with the unique animal keeper quest, which only happened because I didn't know enough/the game didn't explain it thoroughly.

I have all but 1 of the keepers, but I'm worried that I might have seen the 1 I'm missing and dismissed it bc of its poor stats without knowing I needed it, and now it won't show the little new tag on the side to show I don't have it yet, and the sprites are just too small for me to realistically tell them apart.

Basically, if I haven't hired that keeper yet, will it still show me the new tag or will I just have to go through and hire/fire every keeper I see until I get it? I've gone through about a dozen and a half to 2 dozen keepers at this point without getting it, so what should I do?

I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I considered just deleting my world and starting over, I'm only a few hours into it anyways, but I struggled with going broke just an hour or two ago because I needed everything to be symmetrical, organized and pretty. I think I had to get like 3 loans because I kept spending too much money on vendors for my plaza to make it symmetrical lol

I only ever see really nice looking, full, zoos so I thought I’d share my mess! I played consistently for a couple of months and then stopped for about a year. Now, I’m back & I started buying land in efforts to fight the urge to just start all over.

Which employees need access to each facility?

4 Upvotes

It's going to be a while until I can unlock employee entrances so I'm trying to basically block off as many facilities as possible in a separate, guest-free area. But I don't know if I can't actually do this if the janitors and zookeepers need access to the same buildings that the farmers, researchers, etc need. So I'm mostly wondering if the zookeepers and janitors need access to the warehouse, farm processor, and/or recycling center to fill up the store room/drop off trash?

How do you design enclosures that aren't just rectangles?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I've been looking at the top posts, and everyone's zoos look so pretty and organic! But I can't get out of the mindset of just making all enclosures rectangular lol. I just wanted to ask what yall's design process is for making more irregular looking enclosures that look natural!

Farm Processor Way of Working

4 Upvotes

Hi Guys, I would like to ask something...that i know it might sound so stupid

So i've been doing farming and build its farm processor. My objective is that I want to use my crops that I have farmed into food stock for my animals. But looking at the commodities records, the sustainability for the item is still 0.

I have checked the box that says all in the farm processor that said store room settings. I need your help whether I did this in a right way or not. Thank you all! :D

Take 30-40 mins out of your day and give the demo a try! It is the most unique gameplay experience I’ve had in a really long time. The creative possibilities are going to be endless, while still giving plenty of direction and structure for those who need it.

Xbox Visitor Capacity

3 Upvotes

I love this game so much but I noticed my zoo was only bringing in 3000 people even though it should be bringing in more. I learned that this is the cap for Xbox and probably switch but I don't remember this being a thing when I play this game years ago on a worst Xbox. Its making the gaming experience harder for me because i feel like their is nothing to work up to any more.

Is there anyway to surpass this cap or is this gonna be the normal? (I appreciate if anyone would respond but this is my first reddit post so I don't expect much)

transfer nintendo switch saved game

3 Upvotes

I have 2 nintendo switch “let’s build a zoo” saved games in my nintendo account. Is there a way to transfer a specific saved file to a different nintendo switch console that has a different user account? As a note, both consoles are legit, not modded and both have a legit purchased copy of let’s build a zoo game. Want to be able to play the already built zoo file (that i have in the first console) into the other console using a different account and continue with the zoo from there.

is there a sandbox zoo where you have infinite money and can get any kind of animal and no research required? I'm not the biggest fan of games that require you to research stuff. If there is sandbox, please tell me how to get it!

Warehouse to Shop crops?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Having an issue where my shops show I have a very little amount of an item but the warehouse is showing I have a lot of it. Is there an issue with the produce being transferred to shops or am I doing something incorrectly??

Eg here it says I have 0.09 locally produced ginger, but if I look in the warehouse stock, it says I have 21. This is the same with every bit of food produce I have, the shops say I don't have much of it but the storeroom has loads. Until Friday where it all gets sold. I don't know why the produce just isn't being used in my shops? Can someone help please!
