How do you visit other peoples zoo?

I have not seen anything like that as I have never uploaded a zoo to steam but I did upload a habitat I made. So maybe it is just the case of subscribing to someones item on the workshop that allows the game to simulate you visiting whatever zoo they are playing at the time.

So, to have your avatar visit other peoples zoos ( you won't see it ), just subscribe to an item on the workshop you like.

To have other people's avatars visit you while you are playing ( giving you 10CC a wave in Franchise ), make something and upload to workshop and see if anyone subscribes. I have 110 subscribers so far on my habitat and I have seen many different names visiting me while I am playing.
or just dont subscribe and dont make your own workshop item and people still visit you and grant 20 CC on a wave
 
It was confirmed by a developer I believe that the visitors are completely randomly generated. 😊

I had a "Praised be xxxxx" (<- insert a kinky deity) yesterday, i don't think that the system generates that kind of names.

Albeit its quite possible, that the game simply takes usernames and throws them into other zoos.
After all i am visiting my own zoo all the time.
A pity i am such a lazy , i could at least clear away the dung of the warthog habitat or something like that.

Oh my apologies, I had bad phrasing. Yes I meant "completely randomly generated from actual users" forgot to add that last bit. 😅
 
Also likely, especially as the earlier comment states that a developer confirmed that the avatar is randomly generated.

Well we are not talking about Avatar's going to other peoples zoos. It's the act of us as players looking at other players creations.
And currently the only way to do that is by downloading someone's save file.

Just wondering if it works the same way with Franchise Maps.
 
I know, my comment was in regards to TheGajin87's response to my earlier statement which was a response to your early question which was my understanding on how visitng works on franchise.

I had stated in the earlier post that I had no idea about the indirect way of visiting. All that is, is managing someone else's zoo from the time they saved it. A cool option but not what I would call visiting :) Unless of course you load it .. scroll around then close it without doing any work :p

I only have seen what the developers said about your avatars visiting zoos and how that works. And was what I initially thought you meant :)
 
That said, seeing as Franchise is online and the indirect visiting route is by downloading someone else's zoo. It would in effect become your zoo ( if it allows you to download someone else's zoo and run it as part of your franchise ).

I would suspect because of this, it wouldn't work in franchise mode unless downloading and running someone else's saved game becomes a new zoo for your franchise and takes 100CC away in payment. Or, replaces one of your own zoos.
