[Challenge mode] Are these 2 things intentional or bugged?

[FoxyDee]

Hi,

So I recently started to play in challenge mode after many hours in franchise and noticed some differences. I am not sure if those things are designed to be this way or they are simply bugged:

1) When you buy an animal from trade center but do not put them to habitat, yet they appear as your most appealing (if they have better rating than what you already have available). I did not have this problem in franchise, and it kind of bugs me, because sometimes I buy the animal in advance when I do not have their habitat finished, yet somehow the guests know you have this animal?

2) Earning some conservation credits as time goes by . Now I am aware that this might be designed this way, but it feels less challenging to keep earning cc for nothing, I would much rather only earn them by releasing to wild. It is not a big problem, but perhaps there could be an option to disable this, if it is a feature?

Do you use recycling bins?
Somewhere in the forum I've read that those generate CC over time.

This is just secondary knowledge though and I haven't tested it in detail myself. (Which translate to: I use them, but I haven't payed attention to my CC gains with/without them.)

Non that I am aware of, just used regular new world bins, but will double check just to be sure. Thanks.

I also notice this CC gain in my challenge mode and since I don't use recycling bins, I "suspect" the solar panels? Just guessing, I can't remember if I gained CC before using them.

the ingame help does help here

That is really weird, because I checked on this. I do not have any recycling bins or renewable energy in my zoo and still earning CC.

That's so funny!

"People" complained about the lack of documentation.
However, even if FDev provides actual in-game documentation, "people" (including myself ) fail to read it propperly (or at least don't remember) and can't give the correct answer to the OP.

So ... why even bother to document?

Oh, people nowadays are more used to watch videos than read imo but I am glad that Frontier invested a lot of time and effort into the ingame help, it actually covers a lot of things. It helped me a lot when being new to the game and the 'Planet Universe'.
Unfortunately, there are topics that are not covered in detail (e.g. pick pocketing) or nearly not at all (e.g. make transport rides work). But overall it's a very good source.
