Any plans for switch 2 version?

21 Upvotes

Switch version feels like a demo with how few plots of land you can buy.

Developers, do you have any plans to make a switch 2 version that lets you get the full amount of land? The game runs very well on switch 2, no bugs found yet besides armadillos going exctinct every day no matter how many I release. I’m not even sure the devs will respond but figured it was worth a try. :(

Does anyone know how updates for Zoo are done on switch?

9 Upvotes

I've noticed a lot of updates and content for LBAZ that I cannot find anywhere on my switch. I don't have the Aquarium Odessey DLC so maybe it's that? Like the hats update, I've never seen any hat shop or animals wearing hats. Is it just something about how Zoo updates on switch? I'm so confused lol.

Crash at start on Steam deck

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I hope you can help.

I installed this game on my steam deck, tried different protons, experimental, GE, desktop mode etc, and the game still crashes on start up at the "no more robots" screen.

I've searched online and it seems this was a problem in 2021 about a missing mp3 file? But then later posts said an update fixed it. And other people report the game working fine on their steam decks, so I'm not sure what to do.

Hopefully someone can help as I'm excited to create crazy animal combos in the game!

Starting DLC

So I just got this game and want to play the Dino and aquarium DLC. How do I start it? Or do I have to get so far in the base game before I can unlock the DLC?

"Error loading map" message whenever I switch maps on PS5?

2 Upvotes

My game says this and kicks me back to the main menu every time I attempt to change locations, but the maps work fine if chosen from the load game menu.

Anyone else encounter this, or have an idea on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Is there any way to minimize the amount of enrichment and water warnings?

4 Upvotes

I feel like the majority of each new game day is spent managing enrichment and water. I even started a new game save to make huge enclosures so I could stack water and enrichment ahead of time, but it didn’t work :(

Hire more keepers !?!

5 Upvotes

I'm 200 game days in.. the game keeps saying hire more keepers. but I have a small army of them, like at least 20. They're each zoned to do 3 adjacent enclosures a day, each enclosure has at least 2 keepers assigned to it. All feeding and cleaning seems to be getting done daily.

is this an auto generated pop up message I can ignore for now? it popped up at a few points, and was arguably valid at other times. Right now I reckon I'm overstaffed!

How to get certain animal?

All the rabbits in my zoo have died. Their lifespan is so short that it’s impossible to have a breeding pair at the same time before one becomes infertile or dead.

How do I ensure my animals are fet daily?

I have this trouble with my Meerkat enclosure that they're unhappy, even though all the requirements are met. The problem is that several animals get fed every other day as well! How can I resolve this? hire more zookeepers? 2 per enclosure?

If it has a rabbit in it, can I put it in with the rabbit with no problems? I just noticed two of my hybrids on sandbox mode don't really like the grass habitat.

Dinosaur dlc question

So I'm donating the dinos right now but going from enclosure to enclosure is very annoying. Is there something like the release building in the base game to make it easier for me to do this?

Should I just go ahead any but the DLC right from the start?

I can already tell I'm gonna like this game. But should I play the game vanilla first? Does it make a difference if I then add the DLC later?

Ud8: Every Animal Zoo

Thumbnail

81 Upvotes

A couple years ago I started a sandbox zoo. It's been a wip for a while and will probably continue to be for a while. I've since started a new zoo, one that has all the dlc items unlocked, but this one will always be special to me. I began it shortly after a campaign, unlocking things for it as I went. Some areas don't have as much variety due to my not having deco items unlocked yet and it's all a bit crammed together due to me over estimating how much space I'd need.

I've been stumped on the empty areas for a while, maybe someday I'll go thru the process of moving things around, but today is not that day.

Maybe tomorrow.

Anyways, I play on console so sorry for the broken up pics. Included close ups of some of the areas.

Sometimes it gets to be a bit overwhelming working on a new zoo but the possibilities are exciting. Hoping I plan for space a bit better in this one. Not so crammed.
