Sandbox acting is seriously odd...

So I've so far only played career mode, but plenty of the career mode makes you have to build a zoo from scratch, so I understand most of the tools, and I'm big on finding the answer when stuff glitches and I know this game does. I don't have any mods, I did use workshop pre-builds for this zoo, because I have never been on the workshop and I got excited. But things keep acting off and it's really confusing me, usually I use shallow offset to make stepps so that I can make smooth hills, and this map the terrace tool is in one meter increments, which makes incredibly steep hills animals can't walk down if they are small. ...

Select & sell multiple animals does not work.

I have been having a bug since I started playing PZ. When I select a large amount of adult and sellable animals in the zoo overview and then click "sell", it never actually sells off more than 2. I have to sell them 1-2 at once which is a hassle, I just want to get rid of my 99 chickens .... Is this a known bug or something I can report somewhere?

Help please

Guys, I have a serious problem at my zoo... two animals escaped and I left them in boxes, but I can't get them back because they were in places where it's not possible to build a path for the vets to get to them... what do I do?

Making a custom zoo map that feels like a real setting (Island Town Zoo) Any tips?

There's a severe lack of maps that feel like a real place a zoo would be built. I find it's way too easy to zoom out just a little too far, and completely take yourself out of it when you see the zoo borders that Frontier designed. So I saw it as a fun challenge to try making a setting that feels lived-in, existable, and give a fun sense of place for our zoos! I've been transforming the Yamaguchi Prefecture Zoo into this island town. I'm curious if anyone has tips, advice, or ideas of what they'd like to see in such a map. The entrance and most of the buildings so far weren't mine from scratch-- the entrance is from the workshop and buildings are from a scenario. The town is meant to look like it could keep going over and behind the hill, creating the illusion that this might not actually be an island (or at least that there's more city nearby.) It's not at all done yet so there's a lot of room for ideas....

Multiple groups, containing one object, wont merge with eachother but will with anything else

Im making a custom barrier which makes this more annoying. Each facade of the barrier had its own group. I think I created the issue when I splitted one object from the facades group so I could move it with more precision, but for some reason, that one object was placed in its very own useless group. It doesnt help that you cant ungroup it because the game says "Cannot split group with only one piece": ALL I WANT TO DO IS REMOVE IT FROM THE GROUP, AND NOT DELETE IT. I didnt know was happening at the very second. All I did then was paste the custom walls around my null barrier, only for me to add as much useless groups for as much times I pressed CTRL V 😭 ...

How would you make a part 2 to every dlc using the exact number of animals the original pack did?

This will be a fun little discussion

Computer Crashing

To preface, I am still working on diagnosing this myself, but looking to see if anyone else has run into this or knows a fix.

To preface, I am still working on diagnosing this myself, but looking to see if anyone else has run into this or knows a fix.

My entire computer is crashing somehow, and the only consistency is Planet Zoo. I've got a pretty new PC (specs listed below), and every couple hours (which makes it very hard to replicate and test), and my audio and video will freeze. Two of the four times, I have been able to move my mouse, but its slow and almost like its lagging, but I cannot click on anything, but both screens freeze. All four times, the audio glitches and freezes, the Discord stream I was watching two of the four times audio would stop entirely, but my game audio would be the only audio cutting in and out. I have looked at the Windows logs to no avail, I had task manager graphs pulled up and my CPU had spiked to 100% when it froze, and I tried setting my fans to full power and I still got a crash after that....

Problem: "Current visibility: Friends-only This item will only be visible to friends

I want to share blueprints to the community. In the right sidebar on each blueprint I have uploaded there is an option to 'Change Visibility', but the only options in the dropdown on it are Friends Only, Hidden, and Unlisted. No public option. I have made purchases over the past month. Played regularly for a long time. Really irritating that there is no explanation as to why or how to fix it. If I could get some help it would be very appreciated....

Staff Suggestion!

✨ This is to be a supportive and positive post! No hate is to be spread, nor degrading anyone in server! ✨ :Tiger: Planet Zoo Discord! It's an awesome community that’s large, active, and full of amazing people! However, there's always room for improvement. However the only downside is the server seems a bit... bland and the server could use a little extra spark to make it even more vibrant! There was also recently an unfortunate incident where spam accounts infiltrated the server, posting harmful content for a while that was unchecked for hours, but we're all about turning challenges into opportunities! :JaguarYawn: I believe we have a chance to breathe new life into this space and make it even better. One way to do this is by welcoming fresh, passionate staff members who are actively involved in the Planet Zoo community. These new faces could help bring fresh energy, creativity, and ideas to keep things exciting. Allowing newer staff, who are an active role in the PZ community can really spice the life back up~...

Tranquilizer

Add tranquilizers to the game. Instead of just putting the animal in a box and having a skinny ahh employee carry it, please add jeeps and trucks and tranquilizers.

Franchise cant connect to server

Have had the message "Cant connect to franchise server check internet connection" for the past week I was maybe an hour into the save exited and when I came back to the game have gotten the message. I play with no mods and I am on school wife I would know if something was going on with it. Have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple files restarted my computer the whole nine yards. Please help. I only wanted to build a flamingo enclosure 😦

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
