Keepers wont clean a specific part of the habitat? Restarting does nothing and they can walk to spot
It would say on the selected keeper thats in the habitat "Cleaning Habitat" for a split second then they leave without doing anything

Open your heat map and check staff traversible area
It will be in habitat and then there is a drop down
It's likely that you have a scenery piece that they can't walk over.
If you have any type of grid flooring say from a shelter even if you sink it visually the keepers recognize it as there and won't be able to clean it up.
The flowers look floating in your second image
It's not the flowers I dont think. I moved them and the rocks away and tried it again but same issues
Can you send a pic of the staff traversable area?
I'm not on my pc (heading to bed it's like 4am) but from what I saw they could walk on top of it with the flowers etc.
My next suggestion is to move rocks and flowers and remove water, then check.
I'll try the water next time but unsure it's frustrating cuz game is yelling at me cuz of diseases ;0;
There is a bubble around a barriers that cannot be walked in, but the mess doesn't seem to be close enough to a barrier for that to happen.
Box your animals send to trade center.
I do that as a safety when habitats go rouge, since trade center boxing is an instant reaction.
I'll try these tomorrow afternoon, I just hope I can get it fixed cuz idk how else to get rid of em
Sleep well, feel free to @ me when you get up, I'll be around all day. :3
I think its food being thrown in from animal talk so idk if that could be an issue
I like solving odd problems. ^^
Oh there are security signs for that.
O no I mean from my educators, not actual guests
I dont know if it could be buggy?
To me when I zoom in it looks like a dead animal, try calling a vet?
I'm only saying that to try when you get up
I've called them both and nuthing
Vet doesnt do anything and it's weird for the keeper
I'd call the keeper
It will start inspecting
And it would say cleaning for a half second and be like
BYE BIch
On a quick Google, did you accidentally turn habitat cleaning off in the keepers job tab?
Like you had separate jobs, and fired the poo cleaner or something.
No, they seem to be cleaning dung from the habitat just not that specific pile of meat
That's why I'm confused
What mode are you in
Sand, Franchise, Career

So I was reading a bug forum that mentioned something about a keeper reserving all the keeper huts preventing everyone else from working. (Which odd didn't know they could do that) So I wonder if your staff have glitched. And if it's worth breaking part of the habitat barrier to get the game to reregister it.
Usually you can be violent and just delete, and Ctrl Z to have it right back.
Interesting? I might have to try that. It might be the barriers or something cuz it's only that habitat that doesnt want to get fully cleaned
There is also something to be said about firing and rehiring staff. But that method sucks when your staff is fully leveled.
Boo nooo ;0;

Interesting info thank you, I'll try these things tomorrow
:D let me know how it goes

I found this, after searching for a carcass in habitat, because as far as I'm aware keepers don't throw raw animal shaped food into the habitat only meat piles, and it's not an enrichment item.

plz help me so one of my bongo died and i can not remove the body how do i remove it it keep giving me fines due to the clean of it so what do i do to remove the body its all bones and i try to click on them dont work it died in the water i dont know how to get out of it thanks in advice
With it being a big cat, I once had a cheetah die underneath my lookout for them, so the vet just didn't show, until I drug them over and I said look it dead.
I'd say before wrecking the barrier try the water thing.
Heyoo im awakeee lol
I tried removing the barrier + the water and they still don't want to clean that spot. They picked up a piece of crap and left. Tried recalling they just instantly left again
and I dont think it's a dead animal because I do usually a good job at tracking my animal deaths with memorials Im 100% sure its the educator throwing food for their educator talks
but it just doesnt want to get cleaned
@Masq'D
Hmmmm
That is such an odd glitch.
Out of lack of ideas, how's your path outside of the enclosure look?
Maybe move that animal talk or delete it entirely
@Masq'D Heading to work but here are a few screenshots for you
It's a very beautiful habitat, have you tried deleting the rocks completely, and taking all the animals out of the enclosure?

I found a rare traversable area glitch but it sounds like half habitat, so that's likely not the problem m

There is also this that isolates a specific rock type from the aquatic pack.
(removing embeds for readability)
I wonder if you would test, take the animals out, put them in trade center (or make them a new habitat to recalculate in) delete rocks, save game and exit for an amount of time. And then reloaded the game and see if it changes.
Additionally I found a subsequent "known issues" thread describing the habitat breaking in franchise.

The only bereft is that none of the things I'm finding are specifically your exact problem
So that's where the troubleshooting keeps breaking off.
@Masq'D omg its fine now!
I removed all the plants/rocks, reloading the game, called the keeper and they started to clean it
Im not sure why this time it decided to work
last time when I removed the plants etc it didnt do anything
I figured out what it was
it was the flowers that was making the keepers not do their jobs in that spot despite the travel area saying they can walk all over them @Masq'D
so I moved the flowers away from where the food lands and it seems to be working now
I also moved the rocks a tiny bit over just in case
I just don't understand why it works now when I tried this exact same thing before making this post
I'm actually so glad that there was a solution.
Yess thank you. Im still confused on how this actually worked as I literally removed them completely and they still ignored the first time. I think it was your idea of logging out with them deleted and coming back it like reset their fkn brains
masq_d received a thank you carrot!
yeah, i remembered from my first zoo, i had this problem with rhino poop, if there is something on top of the mess it glitches sometimes and the keepers cannot clean it; its a very bizarre bug, because the mess wasn't there before you put the flowers down. xD
FR! and the heatmap said they could literally walk all over them and the meat pile
I was like wtffff
I really didnt want to restart my stupid CC zoo lol
franchise humbled by a little education. frfr
I wonder if thats why the piles always turned bad as well rather than eaten
probably, i think its silly the educators throw in a mess during animal talks; but if the animals clean it i guess its not a problem.
Yeah, I normally dont mind as its extra food for them but not if it breaks my damn game lol
