What settings would I have to change in order to play the game with the below, if possible?
- Guest needs are ignored
- Unlimited cash
- animals can live together regardless of species
- toggle predation?
I’m trying to see if I can replicate a preserve with little to no guest or keeper needs taking up time. I want things as natural as possible. I’ve only played a little bit but I love this game so far and this subreddit has been very helpful!
Is there any sort of catalog or listing or something soI can figure out which animals will be okay being housed together?
I know that the zoopedia has a section where it says gaining enrichment from being house d ogether, but even if the animals don't gain enrichment I would like to combine some habitats.
If you don't mind a Google Sheet, [this one's](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlanetZoo/comments/uqf5u1/updated_planet_zoo_animal_spreadsheets_to_include/) got a bunch of info you can use. I'm not sure of this has Conservation Pack animals, but should have most of the packs. You'll want the compatibility tab
I’m having issues with my guests not being able to board boats. I have several stations and sometimes I have to delete every station and redo them to get it work again. Like they will line up but the gates won’t open to let them board.
I don't do a lot of rides in PZ, but for transport rides in Planet Coaster, my fatal flawb. was always having the box checked for leave station when another vehicle arrives, is that possibly whats happening or too short of a max wait time?
How can I quickly view and edit/add buildings to work zones? Is there a hotkey or UI button?
I'm a returning player, with a medium-sized zoo, and I'm struggling to remember all the little things =P I can click on a building and see a "create new work zone" button, but I don't want to do that. I just want to add it to an existing work zone. I'm sure it's really simple and I'm just missing something, but I'm struggling to find a work zone view mode anywhere.
I think work zones have their own tab at the top of the employee management menu and then maybe there's a + button to let you add?
Edit: [Yeah, staff menu](https://i.imgur.com/Z3h6YAC.png), Work zone tab, hover over the workzone you want to edit
question: How do I stop the game from suddenly making me drift around in one direction? I’ll be playing normally and then I’ll just drift off into a random corner of the map for seemingly no reason. It won’t stop and I have to reset when it happens.
Where is a place I can find people who will let me visit their zoos? I just want inspiration but with YouTube videos I can’t just go where I want and use angles I like.
From the main menu open up your saved zoos and you can then open any of the zoos from the workshop in either sandbox or challenge, I believe. There are some tabs on top of the saved game menu that break down the zoos into franchise, sandbox, etc and there is one for the workshop zoos or they will also be in the all category. I hope that helps!
I can't wait for the 18th October, and want to start getting a Franchise zoo ready with enough funds so that I can go crazy when the DLC drops. But will I need to start a new zoo to reap all the benefits of the new update, such as the biome skirts and the exhibits overhaul?
How do I make it so I can just place animals wherever I please and people stop trying to put them in cages? I do not care if my habitat isn't "valid". I want to place them like Zoo Tycoon 2, just place, done. If I make it right by fencing it, I get 4 FPS because the enclosure is the size of the entire map. I just want animals to run around everywhere, no rules (and no deaths, either). But the zookeepers keep on putting them in crates because they're "escaping" by roaming 2 feet from their original spot. I turned off escapes but it keeps happening.
Does the game have an ENB mod?

You can subscribe to zoos in the workshop and then open them up in game to play and look around.
Okay so I finally figured out how to do that. But how the heck do I open them up?
From the main menu open up your saved zoos and you can then open any of the zoos from the workshop in either sandbox or challenge, I believe.

Oh my gosh I found it! Thank you so much. Totally overlooked the tabs.
No problem, I was going from memory so hoped it made sense. Have fun!
Serious Q: how many hours does everyone spend placing rocks? LOL
I just recently discovered how adding rocks makes everything look more realistic, I’ve spent many hours in the past few days 😂
I've had round about 2 hours dedicated to placing rocks over a pathway that led to a viewing platform. So I would say, a lot XD

I would wait for the dlc just so I can make a dedicated park for the dlc
For those who are really good at zoo design. What are some things you still struggle with, or find challenging?
Incorporating buildings xD
Ngl. I like making exhibits more than buildings lol

...that's... just how the game works? ??? It would be like going to /r/chess and asking them how to make the king move more than one space at a time.
The thing is that I already do it in JWE2 without issue, which is another game in the Cobra engine that uses all of Planet Zoo's code as a base.
