Your staff area is wayyyy too far away from the habitat, you only have one habitat so you can't make enough income from guests with that. You used planet zoo staff buildings which cost more. You've got multiple facilities when you only need one. Idk how you can recover this one. Might be better to start over
would it hurt my franchise if i start over
No, you can make as many franchise zoos as you want to
also putting staff next to guests makes the park reputation go down correct
No, staff facilities have a negative impact area of effect. Basically there is a certain area, like a circle around them, that will bother the guests who walk past. If you open your heat map and click negative impact on guests, you can see how big the area is and place the facilities only that far away. Decorating the facilities will lower this area of effect
oh ok, that makes sense. thank you!
Meek 🐒 The Monkey Queen received a thank you carrot!
also would it be better to have multiple staff areas around the park or one big one in the center
Depends on how big your zoo will be. If you're making a giant mega zoo that fills the whole map, you should have 2 or 3 staff areas around. One main staff area is fine for like 10 or so habitats
oh ok, im trying to make a smaller one so ill just have like one area in the middle
Yeah especially for franchise you need to start small and slow and work your way up. You can always replace small facilities with larger ones later on once you have good profit.
To start at $40k in franchise:
Staff area
One small vet surgery, one quarantine, one small staff room (set to staff Healthcare or rec room) one small research and workshop, animal trade center.
Guests
One food shop, one drink shop, one merchandise shop, one toilet, one info center, a few ATMs
Animals
One habitat and 4 exhibits (set exhibit management to sell for cash and check zoopedia for max animals per exhibit)
Lots of donation boxes, benches to sit on, and education
Keeper hut near habitats/exhibits
is the amount of animals in a habitat important or can i put as many as the zoopedia says
You can put as many as allowed in zoopedia, but remember that food costs will be higher with more animals and also the difference between meat eaters and herbivores, meat costs more.
oki
Exhibits -- > eastern brown snake / puff adder --> 2 male 3 females --> sell the offspring manually ---> easy cash would be my suggestion
In a franchise i would advice to work on a steady cash income flow through exhibits ( limit guests to 500 ), you'll need a few security guards, a maintenance worker and a zookeeper ( 1 per 6 exhibits ). While working on your cash income flow hire another maintenance worker and 1 or 2 veterinarians --> do research with these. The research will carry over to other zoo's in your franchise. Good luck
How did you get to the 1 zookeeper per exhibit? I am running nearly 20 of two stars keepers and they still can't keep up :/
I use 2 zookeepers max lv for 38 exhibits and if those 2 cant keep up i hire a 3rd
Here can see 7 of those 38 exhibits plans close together
Is this modded? Where do the guests come and leave from?
Or is it just for breeding purposes?
No mods, breeding zoo
