about the end of the beta Planet Zoo

[Maxi-Mio]

hello, the French community think that the current backup of the zoo will be erased after the beta, so I want you to put the question , here is my zoo on which I spent a little over 30 hours of work and I'm worried .

all that will disappear ?

 

[Maxi-Mio]

my zoo is big , i have not includ all in this screenshot serie

Saved Games; you can save your progress at any time during the Beta, but all saved games will be invalidated upon launch.

 

[Maxi-Mio]

I am disappointed to learn it. will the franchise also be removed?

 

[Jessiy]

To be fair. we where all told before the beta began, that the saved progress will not be saved for release (all beta zoo's will be deleted after beta ends)
this is why i have purposely avoided making big zoos i spend all my time on, an why ive avoided connecting with the animals.

None of the beta saves will be in Release (Career or franchise alike)

instead ive used beta to find bugs, play around with mechanics, learn how the building pieces work, find the best ways of earning money, ect.

Your park is very beautiful.
Don't be sad, be proud of it, you can do it again after launch and maybe you will have even better ideas then

 

[Heuliez]

C'est vraiment beau. C'est vrai que c'est dommage pour ceux qui ont travaillé leur zoo (contrairement au mien qui est plus que banal )

It's beautiful. It is true that It's a shame for those who worked on their zoo (unlike mine which is more than common)

Your zoo is very beautiful, it's okay, don't be sad, just take a lot of pictures to remember it, and when the full game comes out, you can make a new zoo, with the 50+ animals and new stuff to build with and what not, it will be like a whole new adventure, its something we will all get to do again together, we are all very lucky to get to test out the game before it is complete. And your new zoo, will be forever

Just think, you might lose this Zoo, but your next one you will be able to do better and faster!

 

[Sclurp]

Do a video tour of it for Youtube or take lots of screenshots - improve upon it in the main game. Don't be sad - you created a great foundation for an even better zoo (with all its building pieces/ animals/ utilities).

Also save things as blueprints They are not going to be wiped (although Frontier can't guarantee they won't get broken).

 

[Maxi-Mio]

my park is far too big for the minimum number of record objects
however, since this morning I have a bug that crash my game when I use the selection tools to save small creations in another park

 

[Bo Marit]

Lovely to see all of your amazing work! Completely understand it's not ideal for everyone to have progress wiped, but we can all collectively start over on the 5th
We'll let you know if anything changes though!

Such a shame it will be lost. But I understand why.

But I have to say, this looks really nice. Great looking park!

3 monks took 3 days to build this mandala out of thousands of colored sand grains, ... and the fate of that piece of art is to be dissolved in a ceremony by the lama : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala

These beautiful sand castles took also many hours to sculpt, and the artist knew that the sea would finally destroy them, so why bother ?

Well, I see your beta park, which is very nice btw, as a form of ephemeral art, I bet you enjoyed doing it, and showing it. I am pretty sure you learned from it.. just be happy for that. And create again when the game is released, because in the end, the creation process is what matters, right ? (oh yeah... and money, that's a crafting / tycoon game after all haha)

And when you will have achieved another beautiful creation, come share it !
