What will be your final act in the beta?

So we're here - the beta is ending.

How will you send it off? Delete all the barriers and allow your animals to run free? Build and save as many blueprints as you can before you run out of time? Sell all of your animals for ludicrous or minuscule amounts of conservation points? Capture videos/screenshots of your zoo or animals? Build barriers around the inspector?

I'm going to simply play a little bit more and also jot down the names of the vet and mechanic who have been doing all my Franchise Mode research. I'm going to rename my first vet and mechanic in the full release to bring my two right hand peeps along with me.
The amount of times I've said to my screen: "Gino Mallins! Can you please just do the research?!"

There's a bond now.
 
Enjoying my black bear. After two weeks I have finally an animal I haven't seen live before in my game. Had to restart franchise very often and never got enough money or CC to buy other things than wild dogs, otriches, wadhogs and pronghorns or springbocks. So I only had the animals in the career zoo or basic franchise animals.
 
Yeah I haven't seen most of the animals too - which I find very disappointing as while I'm willing to give constructive criticism during a beta - I'm not a hired bug tester. I wanted to get a slice of the PZ experience and that experience was dictated and spoiled (slightly) by other players and Frontier not making all the animals readily available for cash. Even here, at the end of the beta.

Anywho!
 
I'm just trying things out in the exhibits with the terrain tool, trying to experiment with shelters and hiding the fences
 
Researching on climate change effects : Putting all african animals in my snow dome and all asian/himalayan animals in my african area.
 
Spending a lot of CC to get nearly perfect animals and breed them...

10-12 years in and only 1 lion cub :(
Even a couple animals of a fertility rate 1x 100% and 1x 50% ... Just to see the results..
Some people on this forum weren't kidding, nearly impossible with these breeding mechanics....

No peafowls or ostriches.. Just Hippos/lions/gharials/nile monitors/african dogs/both tortoises/tapirs atm

Edit 15 years in and Gharials have 1 offspring and the giraffes which I just bought and put in the enclosure, in a couple of month already pregnant.

I think short Time before the Beta ends, I'll let all Animals escape. There should be a plausible Reason why the Park gets closed forever 🙃

But before that happens, I will try to get 1 Million Dollars and hope that my Hippos get Offspring
 
Final Act was finding out the map size is just about 250 acres. Needless to say the game will crash. Not the fault of my comp.

Going to go through the zoopedia and write down relevant information for all the species currently in the game so I can start planning my zoo(s) come the full release :)

This is a really good idea and I now hate myself for not thinking of this yesterday :') stuff like habitat size would be really helpful.
 
record all Zoopedia information in a Spreadsheet so I can see how best to use it

Will you know tomorrow how big an enclosure should be for a grizzly? how much water it needs? what animals will be comfortable in northern Europe? whats the maximum amount of babies a new born sable antelope could have in 5 yrs a mature elephant pair?

I want that information to use and don't see big changes in zoopedia
