  1. Zoo Tycoon Friends - "Biodiversity" achievement not unlocking


    Currently, I and others are in a race against time to unlock all the achievements within Zoo Tycoon Friends prior to the server shutdown on April 28th.

    The achievement "Biodiversity" states that you need to: Unlock 20 different Star Animal Habitats. After performing the associated task, it has not unlocked on either my Windows Phone or my Windows 8.1 version of the game. Both use the same online 'cloud'
    save, as the game is completely server-based, so I can't roll-back or anything.

    Per comments on other forums, the similar achievement "Taming the Herd" is unlocked after 10 different Star Animal Habitats are unlocked, which is immediately after the Giraffes are unlocked. You do not have to build the Giraffes, which is a good thing
    because they require the rare 'GEM' premium resources you can't buy. Thus, after all 20 habitats are unlocked, "Biodiversity" should be granted.

    I am currently on Chapter 15. The last Star Animal Habitat, "Wild Horse", was unlocked for building once I completed Chapter 14. This is the last possible Habitat, as unlocking the Habitats is completely linear with no possible diverging from the unlock
    path. After doing so, "Biodiversity" did not unlock. As I thought this might be a case of needing to actually build the Wild Horse Habitat, I spent about 3-4 days farming the 1.47 MILLION coins required to purchase the plot, then the 3 days or so it took for the Habitat
    to actually build. The build finished today. At this point, I have also gotten two wild horses in said Habitat, which took a few hours. I even grinded more money to complete the mission that includes building the Habitat (specifically, to upgrade area "C"
    after it is built). Nothing has unlocked.

    Going by the build and money-grinding times, that would put the original date of supposedly obtaining this achievement around April the 3rd. Why hasn't it unlocked, and what can be done to 'fix' this?

    :)

    zoo tycoon achievement

    Is there a way to see how many animals were born in my zoo. I'm going for "the zoo tycoon" achievement (all 20 awards) and all I need to do is breed 100 times. I could swear I've done at least that but I don't want to start over in another zoo.

    Hey there, Bahaumaut! I was actually looking into another user who is having the same issue as you. We've passed your information along to the appropriate teams that are looking into this other user, and I'll get back to you once I have more information.

    I also wanted to point out that I appreciate you and your skills at helping us pinpoint issues that need to be resolved. Zoo Tycoon Friends - "Biodiversity" achievement not unlocking :)

  5. Thank you for the response, Misses Quinzel.

    To add to this, I checked out TrueAchievements for information, as it has stat trackings for many users. In particularly, who they've identified as winning certain achievements, and on what dates. It may not be 100% complete, but it's probably a good indicator
    of when it has been earned.

    WP8 version: Last earned by someone on March 9th, 2015. Previous dates were the 6th and 4th of March.

    Win8 version: Last earned by someone on March 22nd, 2015. Some previous dates include the 12th, 9th, 8th, and 4th of March.

  6. Any update at all? This thread hasn't been updated, and servers are set to go down in only a few days.

    I've already had a scare where my Tablet (a HP Stream 8) went kaput in less than 4 months use. Took a whole week to get a new one shipped, which meant a BUNCH of days without being able to earn diamonds for speedups/upgrades, and the fear that delisting
    would prevent me from reinstalling the game on my replacement tablet.

    I've gotten everything else, and I have my Wild Horses (used to get the 200K visitors achievement), which is also the last Star Animal Habitat unlocked. What is missing, for me to 100% this game?

  7. Oh! Sorry about the silence here. We've been poking for an update, but haven't seen anything. Since the servers are set to shut down today, we'll see what answer we can get at this time. I will be sure to let you know what is happening with this once I have
    a response.

    Again, super sorry about the silence here. I haven't forgot about you, we just haven't had an update on this situation. Thanks again for your patience! Zoo Tycoon Friends - "Biodiversity" achievement not unlocking :)

    Co-op

    I didn't write this,

    "You need to both follow each other on Xbox One. Then in Zoo Tycoon, you can go to the Game Menu (press pause). Then select Zoo Friends List. You will need to save the zoo to the cloud. Do so. In your Zoo Friends List, click Add Friend and then Invite to
    Party. Choose your partner. They should "Accept and Play" the invite. You will join a party and they should be added to your Zoo Friends List. Select their name and then choose Invite to Zoo. The "Come On Over to My Place" achievement should unlock right away
    when you invite them. When they invite you following the same process and you choose to join and load into the game into their zoo, the "You in? I'm Coming Round" achievement will unlock."
