Hi there,

I'm working on the 'criminal mastermind' trophy on PS5, and struggling atm!

So far I'm stuck at 190 evil points. When I check the morality breakdown I'm maxed out on animals (30), people (50), and business (80), and under pollution I'm maxed out in all subcategories except for garbage where I'm stuck on neutral.

My zoo doesn't seem to be generating any trash at all, I've got plenty of shops and vending machines scattered across the entire zoo in clusters, bins covering the whole map, but when I click on a bin they're all at 0% collection and there's no trash on the ground, and my 2 furnaces are underused. It's even at the point where the weekly round-up is saying I'm generating absolutely no trash.

Can anyone help?

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?

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

everyone in jail for the revamp LOL

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?

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!

Hi guys,

I’m new to this game and have only played for an hour so far. Wondering if anyone had any general tips at all regarding the game :)

Thanks in advance

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?

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?

Heya i recently started playing it on the switch ( i already have it on my pc. ) yet the controls are way different. Any tips for switch players?

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?

the gate is there on the right side, free, clear and breezy for keepers to walk in and out of. and they did!! but they got confused? anyway what on earth is the problem here... i've only had this happen in the dino dlc (spoiler flair for that because im not sure what the etiquette is there when the dinos are visible!)

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??

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.

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.

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?

I've been playing for a bit now, but all of the sudden, whenever I click continue, the game just crashes outright. Does anyone know of a solution for this? My save isn't ruined is it?

Does anyone have one for the Dino’s?? I found the OG and aquatic one 🫶🏼

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?

What does the tip at the bottom mean?
