A few questions and possible bugs - Franchise Mode

[Indie Larry]

Franchise mode
1. In my storage I have 8 animals out of 30 allowed. Why can't I adopt a new animal? It says I have not enough room in storage.
2. Peafowl and Ostriches! Breed like crazy! I've crashed my game by pausing and then collecting all the newly adult birds into my storage to then trade later. Then clicking play. and it crashes! I try to do it in fragments now, but I try and get the birds out of the pens before inbreeding happens. A great idea would be that I can sell babies on the market!! (Also if I collect all the new adults I have at least 20, if the game crashes then it takes a very long time for the game to open. One time I had to go into a different franchise zoo, sell the new birds and then go to the zoo I wanted and it worked.)
3. Game crashes when paused and I do other things like build food courts. I'm a pauser, I don't like running the game when I make changes.
4. Every time I open the game the zoo keepers complain that they can't find a staff room. But if I let it play for a few minutes they all find their staff rooms and are fine.
5. Please connect exhibit animal storage to every zoo in the franchise. You can't sell your reptiles that you bought in one zoo to another. Its a bummer.
6. Connect with friends. Becoming co-owners of our own franchise zoos. So they can build their zoo, I don't have access to their money or leafs, or even able to change their zoo. But I can send money over and leafs and I can trade animals with them through a storage bin, because we are supporting each other.
7. Sunlight controls! Pleease can I have the option to leave the sun up aha
8. Just recently, guest food fell into my crocs water because of a bridge over top of their water. Do the don't feed the animal signs have any effect on the guests?

Thanks!

I think I can answer at least a few of those

1. Check so that you don't have a specific kind of animal selected in the trade centre. If you for instance only have lions selected, it will only show how many animals of that species are in the trade centre (so if you have 8 lions there, it says 8/30). If you do, change it to show all animals and the number should change.
2. The easiest way to controll this is to use birth controll. If you want no babys, use it on the male. If you just want some babys, use it on all females exept one or two.
3. I think this is a known bug, the best thing to do is to contribute to the issue tracker
4. I think this is because every time you start up the game or unpaus it, the game determines all the paths for staff, guests and animals (thats why you get lag for a bit after unpausing), and the message comes up imedietly when you start the game, before the workzone/path is updated for those staffmembers. I think Frontier knows about this problem and are working on it (they fixed some of the problems with this in one of their latest patches)
5. I think they did this to make sure you don't use exibit animals from one zoo to get loads of cash on a newly started zoo, to make it a little challenging every time you start a new zoo (even thou it's mostly tedious)
7. You do have the option to never have night time. Just change the opening hours of your zoo. If you for example have the time set from 8am to 7pm, the sun will be upp all the time
8. This one I'm not sure about
