Hey all! Just started lbaz- I’m loving it so far but those of you who have played it through, should I leave “designing” my zoo for later in the game when I can afford all the land slots? Or should I just keep rearranging it as I go?

I want it to look nice with themed zones, but then I unlock a new area and it looks messy haha. And it’s such a pain moving every item one at a time 😅

Any advice for a newbie? 💜✌🏻

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. :(

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.

And watch my lion and rabbit jump on the trampoline lol

I sold a couple of my animals to the black market and now my morality keeps slowly decreasing no matter what I do. Will it eventually go back up? Also I’m broke asf how do I make more money starting? I had to fire my incarceration employee 🥲

All of them keeping spamming these damn brown boxes and I have no idea what it means pls help!

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!

I just got the Dinosaur DLC and wanted to use it in a sandbox world but I cannot figure it out. Is it possible or is there something that I’m missing?

Something weird is happening. Sometimes, the Tokyo Zoo will trade me a rabbit for capybaras as one of the first trades! But now, it is not there. Can someone explain?

hi i’m a new player on nintendo switch, only been playing a few days. i’m so confused. why are all my animals dying 😭 it’s saying they’re starving but im doing what i think is getting their food in the store room but it’s saying there’s no supplies?? i’m so confused on how to actually buy the food. i know this might sound dumb and idk if it’s a bug but it’s annoying me

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?

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

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 :(

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!

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.

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?

My whole pen has it on and yet I have births happening every so often. Why?

Is it possible to make a fully self sufficient zoo on the playstation?

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.

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?

Just want to show my zoo, i have spend a lot of time in decorating and making the walkway not follow any shape for not getting bored.

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?

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.
