I had hoped you would speak a little bit more about safaris, but i'll just ask here with my specific problem - maybe you know the solution. So i have a large safari (as in super large), i have 3-4 keepers assigned, 2 of them only assigned for poop, BUT my animals still starve all the time, because the keepers never keep up with filling the trays. I've had several baby warthogs die of starvation because the keepers are not doing their job... what can i do to fix this? It would be great if you could set how often a keeper should feed animals, just like how often a mechanic should check on barriers, but since we dont have this option idk how i can make my keepers feed the animals enough. thanks for the video, this was the most helpful staff video ive seen! i learned alot of tips i didnt know about untill now :)
@TheOriginalHipsterJesus4 жыл бұрын
I'm not good at short responses and explanations lol. Here goes: Any time you crank things up beyond intended levels in a game you're likely to encounter issues. Having a couple hundred animals in an enclosure in PZ is akin to breaking the physics engine with 100 simultaneous explosions in an action game. That said, it's hard to know if the issue is caused by the engine not knowing how to handle it, or problems with your design. If it's the former, all I can suggest is limiting things in the future. If it's the latter here's what I suggest: Move all of your food items to the keeper gate, and if you can, push the keeper gate further into the habitat so it's more central to the animals. I've had problems with animals starving in really big habitats because it takes a very long time for keepers to reach the food and then it takes a very long time for the animals to reach it too. Spreading out the food sources can make the feeder visits take months (during which time enough animals could have eaten all the food behind them). My other tip would be to make absolutely sure there are no feeding objects that you're unaware of counting towards the ammount of food in the habitat. Like I said in the video, just a few units of inaccessible food can mean the keeper decides not to feed any of the animals. If after all that you still have issues THEN I'd start blaming the game. I will say that there is a reason I always limit my habitat sizes and populations and usually suggest the same to others.

In my game yesterday I had two keepers in a habitat at the same time. One was still feeding and the other came in and cleaned it. It surprised me, because I thought it couldn't/wouldn't happen and you say as much in the video. Was what I saw a bug/glitch? Or is there some other thing that can cause it to happen? Also...you are recommending overkill on veterinarians. I have 2 Vets for my entire main franchise zoo with over 30 habitats. I just build research labs near habitats where I'm doing research. They keep up with literally everything they need to do just fine. You shouldn't need them for sick animals hardly ever in a well-maintained zoo, so mostly all they handle is research. No need to assign them work zones even, they use the closest available research lab and staff room to the habitat they are researching. Also, no need to rename a "research monkey". Just turn off research in the work settings for any Vets that aren't going to be doing research. It will disable them in the research screen so you can't assign them.
@TheOriginalHipsterJesus4 жыл бұрын
For the two keepers I know that during Beta myself and several other users had reported there only being able to be one keeper at a time in a hab. Honestly I don't use large habs much to even notice if this has changed, but there's also no telling what's a bug or intended at this early stage of the game. As for vets, I think it is a matter of preference. I'll concede that not assigning research vets is about the same as moving them across work zones, but I like to have them available when I need them. I also figured I'd err on the side of caution considering it was a tutorial to prepare those who may not be as well aquainted with certain systems that might warrant medical attention (like gender ratios, which are working incorrectly in some cases anyway).

It's the same as in other modes. You just need to assign a vet to do research on the animals. They'll initially have low welfare, but once you get a good variety you'll start having certain toys in common between animals.

Hey. Can I ask how do you make the buildings to rotate outside of 90 degrees compared to each other, like in the natural configuration? (Is it non-grid, or they're all on separate grid, if so, how?)
@TheOriginalHipsterJesus2 жыл бұрын
Non grid! It helps if you build the buildings separately and save them as blueprints while they're on a grid. Then you can place them in 90 angles onto an existing grid OR rotate and place the whole thing freely.

You just make sure you untick all the other duties in their work roster. They'll still need to take breaks though so you may need more than 1 if you have enough animals.
