Change the starting entrance in Franchise/Challenge

[TacticianLyra]

I'll keep this short because I'm terrible at making things detailed.

The default entrance building clashes horrifically with any theme that isn't New World, which severely restricts creativity if you want to make a zoo that focuses on another theme. Thus, my suggestion is making an in-boundary spawn-points-only entrance that people can build up themselves, instead of an out-of-bounds prefab that can't be edited in any way.

And before anyone says "Just play Sandbox!" Sandbox feels like cheating to me. All the "disable welfare" options would have been common hacks if they weren't in the game.

I agree. Its not fair sandbox gets to delte it, while franchise/challenge do not. These mods shoudl offer the same map customisibility, just with the economy and wellfare.

Misleading video title. You can't do anything about the default entrance.

I agree that "just play sandbox" isn't an acceptable fix for those who enjoy playing the franchise game (or challenge) for various reasons. If sandbox is the only mode we are "supposed" to play, why have the other options at all? I wish I could do more than simply hiding the generic "out of bounds" entrance building behind a new structure.

This is a duplicate of a thread which I made here back in March, but I'm okay with that.

This NEEDS to be addressed.

Bump? This is still a valid concern which I run into every time I decide to try Challenge mode again

They should really give us the Option back to delete the Building. It doesn't bother me if we wouldn't get any Money from it but it's just annoying to have a pre-built Entrance Building in Front of your real Entrance. Especially in my Desert Zoo where I didn't delete the Building before they've disabled it, because when I'll start building the Entrance there, it will definitely be directly connected to the pre-built one due to Lack of Space

Apparently, it used to be possible to delete the entrance but too many people deleted it by accident and complained, and also people just made a bunch of zoos and sold the entrance to game the economy so they patched it out. I wish they just made it so you started with the spawners and gates but no ugly building

Not a complete Solution but at least partially: if you use a Heightmap you will get at least a slightly smaller Entrance Building. Still hope they will either give us a Option to start without a pre-built Entrance or delete it
