franchise mode

Greetings! So I have just seen that next month the career maps are being made available on sandbox mode but I want to ask why stop there? Personally I'd really like to create a franchise mode park on the career maps (the beach map specifically) so since the work is being done to get them into...

Hiya! I love the scenery for Maple Leaf Wildlife Park from the Eye of the Taiga career challenge and would love to be able to play that map on franchise mode. Does anyone have a heightmap for it so i can load it directly into my game from the start? I have tried loading the map in as a habitat...

What is my Suggestion? Add more to franchise mode where you can visit people's zoo's on your friends list and do trades with them; like trading animals with each other. I also think the game would be more enjoyable if punishments were realistic, such as animals escaping and attacking/killing...

With the Oceania-Update we got a new map but the options to customize the island are very limited. I always wanted to create a tropical island in the middle of a turquoise ocean, surrounded by coral reefs and rocks... but the fake-water of the Island map doesn't have that effect. People have...

There is currently 130 habitat species within Planet Zoo. With every DLC the game adds even more animals. This causes an issue as every Franchise mode player is only permitted 200 storage slots in the trading centre. You cannot even have a breeding pair of every species you've paid for in your...

While I enjoy the concept of trading high quality animals across different zoos, players are pretty blind and simply must hope for the best when selling/ searching for animals. I love posting my high quality animals in hopes that someone will greatly benefit from a freshly aged to young adult...

OK so I've been playing Franchise mode. As more and more DLC released I found myself having no storage space in my trade centre. This completely killed the fun for me and I felt as though I couldn't have fun and breed new species I'd paid for without sacrificing all my breeding stock /...

Hi. I was wondering if you guys know why the community challenges keep failing? I really wanted to succeed at this one and I'm in the top percent of contributors to the challenge. I setup a zoo to breed specifically maned wolves as they produce a lot of offspring and I had a good bloodline of...

Thanks for the new bulldozer tool, it was definitely needed. But I have a few questions about the franchise mode. With this new tool, many of us will want to take advantage of the possibility of recreating different areas of our zoos, or even completely redoing them, but there is still the...

I recently discovered that the entrance can no longer be deleted in franchise mode, and I see that a lot of people have complained about that back in 2021, but I can't let this go, especially as patches have been released very recently. I understand a lot of people complained about accidentally...

I wanted to start a thread for people who play franchise mode, and are wanting to improve our "creative management" skills. The idea is for us first to find each other, and then be able to share tips, discuss issues, and get better at this aspect of the game. Obviously, this isn't mutually...

As a newcomer to the game, I've really enjoyed the last two community challenges I was able to get involved in. But I've been wondering, why did Frontier scale back on the every week community challenge? Its become one of the driving reasons I play franchise mode, and I would love to hear from...

Franchise mode is by far my favorite mode to play in, but the lack of map variation is KILLING me. I would love to be able to start new Franchise zoos with different topography, randomly generated or pulled from career zoos (without buildings, obviously). When everything starts flat all the time...

Hey I was wondering if anyone can help. I’ve been playing franchise mode this week to breed elephants for the challenge. I started a new zoo with animals traded in, money was rolling in fast and then suddenly my money plummets to over £100,000 and I can’t seem to reign it back. I have bred lots...

I have been playing Career and Challenge mode, and so far I have not seen one albino animal. If they're only in franchise mode, then.. that's awful, honestly. Because franchise is by far the worst mode, and I refuse to play it. (Maybe if they allowed you to start you franchise in one of the...

Let me start by saying i been loving the game, no lag no major issues....Until i try playing Franchise mode.... for some odd reason I can not get the franchise mode to stay online. I can play the career mode and stay online, i can just have the game on the starting screen and it stays online...

I'm currently playing franchise and have several zoos already which all have different breeding programms going on. This means I'm jumping between zoos quite a lot lately to exchange animals etc. Now AFAIK the only option to do so ATM is to save and quit to main menu and then got go back to...

Hey guys, I have played the game for some time now and my question is, is it possible to create multiple profiles in franchise mode that work independently from each other, so all points scored in the first game, you have to rework in the second. Thank you very much for the answers.

Hiya, online mode is all great and nice, but I'd love to get a bit more of that online feeling. CitySkylines and other Builder games show how it could be done and I love it. Franchise zoos are already working with online players to trade their animals and our avatars visit each other. It would...

As we have all seen with the current Gorilla challenge, the market in Franchise mode can def be , and people are taking advantage of that. It doesn't help that this challenge doesn't promote putting them back in the market, since you want to release them. It makes it a sellers market, and...

Hi, everyone! :) As a huge Zoo Tycoon fan, I was majorly excited about Planet Zoo. However, I've only had it for two days and I'm feeling a bit low. It's an absolutely gorgeous and well-thought out game, but the glitches made me give up on the tutorial levels (like undetectable waste constantly...

So I thought it would be cool if we had a thread to talk about all the community challenges while they're happening? Currently it's the Western Lowland Gorilla and I swear to god imma bout to beat- 🤬 Why do you people freakin do this? :mad:

After practising in Challenge until my zoo could actually get of the ground financially, I finally started a franchise a couple of days ago but now there are no animals available in the trade centre since the servers came back online. Is this a known issue/is my franchise corrupted?

I would really like it if there was a way to trade with only certain players....Mainly because I had to inbreed my Albino Peafowl which I really hated for many reasons. I got my Albino by chance through trading bcuz the icon in the market was a normal Peafowl and the chances of finding another...

In beta we could change weather and time of day. Now we can't in franchise mode. I can understand the argument about not being able to change the weather, because it's part of the challenge (although a system whereby it only changes for a short while then cycles back to what it's supposed to be...

I know that animals and conservation points can be shared amongst the various zoos in Franchise mode, and I can understand why money cannot be shared amongst the sister zoos. However research I don't quite understand why it cannot be shared. I can perhaps understand scenery research, however...
