It's a very slow game, anon. The best you can do is put up lots of gift shops, food/drink stalls, those info boxes that cost money to use and release animals to the wild.

Anon, the objectives in the game come with TIME LIMITS. So I don't understand why the fuck they made difficult to gain money, but so easy to spend it in droves.

You don't need a particularly big pens for most creatures, and the time limits are fairly generous. Just raise your stars up anon.

Are you playing with all expansions? It helps because you get much more variety.

ZT2 is best for mods and actually desiging zoos. If you want more gameplay you'll want the original, which is just now starting to get new mods, but could really use an open source disassembly version sometime soon.

I remember playing the game with a Pentium III computer. There were floating heads, black tiles that do not disappear, komodo dragons that do not breed, and pink elephants.

Simulation/sandbox games seem to fail hard at gameplay.

>passengers treated as physical goods

>physical goods increase in price with distance to the destination but decrease as the time to their destination increases

>airports broken because passengers end up becoming free money

>the chance for a truck engine to explode increase a thousand fold if they're on train tracks so you're forced to make roads that ignore trains entirely

>the amount of wiki reading and mental effort that "dude trains lmao" requires can be shadowed by someone putting two airports

>passengers, like all goods keep pilling up as if they were somalian rapefugees at the polish border

But like with all open source games, if you don't like it you can't be wrong nor right about how shit it is and you should learn how to make those changes which you can't really profit from because the entire agreement runs on communism

oh god, is there such a thing?

A Zoo Tycoon or farming game with aliens would be interesting.
