🐨 Planet Zoo: Update 1.3 and Australia Pack out now! 🐨

Problem is when you do that you don't only limit the numbers of visible guests but everything to do with guests, meaning you get less income as well and you can't do that when you play outside of sandbox. For this to acutally work in all modes we'd need an option that only limits the number of rendered guests and not the actual guest number, so the CPU has less pathfinding and stuff to calculate while we still get the profits...though, with all the other game mechanics in place I'm not even sure that's an option. Either way it seems the number of generated guests in proportion to the number of animals in the zoo is way to high for what the engine can currently handle and we're stuck with it because our zoo's profit is linked to that number as well.

It' been brought up before but they really need to think if there's a way that coding will visibly show only one guest for an entire group. That would probably cut the number of visible guests down to about a third (roughly speaking) of what we have now.
 
This might have already been brought up, idk, but when the vending machines break down, there's no notification, so I have to check them regularly, cause they break down a lot. Plus, one was broken and I sent my mechanic, but no matter how many times it got fixed, it stayed broken.
 
I keep asking devs please add a No Damage / Never Break option in sandbox mode. Vending machines are fun but in my sandbox I dont want them breaking down all the time. Now is a much needed time for that option. And again a No Litter option would also be welcome just like a No pickpocket option. 3 Options that would make sandbox better.

If you'd like to post in the Suggestions forum you're more than welcome if there isn't an existing thread on the topic.
We'll need to keep this on topic of the new DLC.

I have alreaey done so months ago,but that is not why i posted it here. The no damage / no breakdown option is now really needed more then ever because of the new vendingmachines breaking down constantly which takes out the fun of playing in a sandbox and since this update added vending machines which have more breakdowns its really needed and thought i asked here since it goes with the topic of the patch
 
Although this is extremely realistic, at least in a game where we want to relax, we shouldn't be punished like in RL.
Haha, so true with some vending machines.

We had this issue a long time ago right after beta with other stuff as well - they fixed it and people have trouble with stuff breaking down is a very rare issue nowadays.
Vending machines just needs some tweaking/fixing - just like they did a long time ago.
 
when will we have an update thinking about the optimization of the game? it was said that they were working on it ... so far I haven't seen anything, I refuse to buy another dlc without an optimization first

I have never used it myself, but isn't there a "disable vandalism" option in sandbox? Or does it only disable certain objects from being destroyed?

It prevents zoo guests from vandalising things. It doesn't stop machinery from breaking down "naturally".
 
It is already reported. Please read your Issue Tracker.

Unbelieveable we pay for that and really have to wait another uncertain time instead of just pretesting your own products before sell them.
Would you stop with the negativity? I know there are some bugs with the last update, but buying a video game doesn't give you control over the devs and what they do. Most other developers care WAY less about their communities, but Frontier listens to us, and usually is great about fixing bugs.

whats the matter with his feedback? we have put money into it, we are their customers so of course we can give feedback, thats why this forum is here!
 
Feedback is ok. It is this demanding and nagging undertone which is annoying. They didn't add the bugs on purpose and they will fix them as soon as possible. There is no need to make negative comments. They won't fix them any faster if you "demand" it. There is no need to whipping a horse running as fast as it can. It won't get any faster by being whipped.
 
Back to some more positivity:

I LOVE THESE CUTE KOALAS!!!

Made my first habitat with them now. Havent seen an animal in PZ yet that id climbing as much as these cuties. Sometimes im switching into the heatmap just to find them in the habitat. And then some of them are high up in the trees. Thats so awesome.

Theres a little pond in that exhibit: and all the time they are swimming in it. Just great.

When you react in this way to my comment I don't want to read from you when there is really negative critics. I've played Planet Coaster, JWE and now Planet Zoo and I didn't made the experience you report. Instead, Frontier ignores a lot of really constructive critics and messes up with every update. I'm sorry for you that I expect nearly one year after release a fixed game. Those gamebreaking bugs make the game unplayable and I really never experienced such a bad bug fixing like in this case. Bugs are normal, of course. But that they really mess up things which were working like workzones, the building grid, water grid, not leaving protestors and many else is unbelieveable, at least for me. Sorry to offense you with my opinion. And, by the way, there're many companies which care a lot more for there customers. Even some with just small stuff.

Koalas are the next animals I'm putting in my game. I should have a mated pair in there tonight. 🥳
