Recommendation to increase animal variety

Aglease · Apr 6, 2014

Don't get me wrong, I think that Zoo Tycoon has a great variety of animals, but they could do more. I mean, does anyone else find it odd that chimpanzee is the only monkey/ape available in the zoo? What about orangutans, gorillas, gibbons? Seriously,
has anyone ever been to a zoo where there isn't a variety of monkeys? Also, who has ever heard of an African Savannah without zebras? Water buffalo? I'd also like to see panda bears, impalas, crocodiles or alligators, penguins, wolves, jaguars, leopards,
cheetahs, wildebeasts, mountain lions, etc. I could go on, but I'm seriously getting tired of the animals that are available. Let's get some more variety in there! Or at the very least, change up the variety depending on where the zoo is located. Creating
a zoo in Australia? Okay, let's have some kangaroos, crocodiles. Zoo in Asia? Panda bears, jaguars, tropical birds and a wide variety of monkeys. I think you get my drift.

Improving animal variety with limited zoo space

I too am having an issue with Animal Variety. I'm on the last scenario of the campaign mode (the one in Japan) and even though I have 35 animals of various types I still only have a 40-50% rating in animal variety. I have to get that higher so that I can
complete the scenario. Does anyone know specifically what is used to calculate animal variety? I don't understand when I have at least one species of every one of the "Big exhibit" animals and a multitude of the miniexhibit animals how animal variety can
be low.

Totally Agree.

More variety everywhere really. Why do the zoo patrons in India or Africa look like the crowd at the zoo in St Louis?

Why can't I build a proper habitat for polar bears?

Why is there a zoo limit? I have one of practically every animal and my patrons still complain about a lack of variety????? What the heck.

Stupid logic

Currently playing through Metro: Exodus and I have to admit, I’m blown away by the visuals. HDR looks amazing and the facial animation is quite good too. The environmental detail and variety is something to see...can’t recommend it enough. Got gamepass?
PLAY IT!!

If youi learned the enchantment "Fortify <Magic Skill> and Increase Magicka Regen" I recommend that one. It comes on a variety of robes, usually named "Novce\Adept\Apprentice\Expert\Master Robes of <Magic School>"

If the limit is caused by graphic limitations, it is simple not well programmed. I am a programmer myself. Yes I never programmed a huge game, but I simply can not imagine that this game and the graphics need a great amount of computation. If someone else
may correct me I am open for a correction and explanation. I mean look at other games Assasins Creed(hundreds of peple), Fifa(physics), Battlefield(physics and graphics), Ryse(graphics). These games probably a far more complex than Zoo Tycoon. Maybe they should
just put more effort in a game. Maybe the most timespend on the game were spent by designers instead of devs.

I am really disappointed because of the zoo limit. The game could be really awesome. I amso disappointed, that i wrote an email to the developers to ask if they might change this. Since the game is out now for almost 2 years my expectations for an update
are pretty low.

I really hope they prove me wrong and simple remove or at least make the limit way bigger. I am looking forward to it because I think this game is a really cool way to calm down and relax.
