Well... I played a bit, got a franchise server disconnect notice, saved to main menu, started up my zoo, played a bit, got a server disconnect notice, saved to main menu, started up my zoo, played a bit... etc.
Seriously, what is going on with the constant disconnect issues? It doesn't matter what I do, how long I play or what I do, this random disconnect issue keeps popping up. It's insanely frustrating.
But, be zen... When I got to play I visited all my habitats, made sure there were no fights, emptied my trade center by replacing mostly alpha males in herd animals so I had more space to trade/sell animals with a low gene rating. Took a look at my two buffalo herds in the hopes of my albino recessive offspring producing albino buffalos, but alas. Scoured the market for albino tapirs and buffalos, and hoped to catch a glimpse of a rare silver- or higher-rated okapi, capuchin, pygmy hippo or rhino. Checked all my work zones to make sure that they have enough staff to deal with the increasing number of guests, facilities and animals, decided to go ahead and buy a few Australian animals as preparation for either new habitats or a new franchise zoo and then, and only then, could I finally relax and watch those cute little kittens, pups, gorillas and other small fry bound around without having to worry (too much) about alerts popping up.
Oh, and I also relocated several animals to different habitats (switched them around) when I saw one species had a habitat that was far too large for its needs (both lemur species) and another that needed a bigger habitat (cheetahs).
