deleting zoo entrances

[xesta]

so in franchise especially it bugs me that the entire entrance building is so difficult to remove

you can't remove the pathing beyond the barrier either like you can in sandbox

but my least favorite issue is whenever you make entrance facilities (guest spawner, entrance gate thing) and attach it to a building, you can literally never delete that building fully again. it won't delete normally. you have to select it and right click every single piece of the attached building away until you get to the last piece, which then refuses to be deleted or moved by any means. at first I thought it was just an issue with the out of bounds default entrance, but I just had it happen with a new entrance I'd made and didn't want anymore. it drives me NUTS

please fix this

(and please make the trading center animal limit much higher I'm begging you)

I don't understand why it isn't possible to delete the Part of the Entrance normally that is outside of the Zoo. Technically it should still be the Players Property.

I think the Problem you're describing could be because Frontier made it impossible to sell the important Entrance Pieces after some People seemed to have Problems with it in the Past. Now that we can just buy new ones, they'll hopefully get rid of that Limitation

This has to be Franchise problem. Deleting the entrance is the first thing I do in sandbox.

Would be nice to be able to delete it in Challenge/Franchise mode. Especially now that we can make another entrances.

You can delete all of it except the paths that are outside the park, just double click on any part to open it into the group select-edit mode and then right click each and every piece, one piece at a time, to delete them. It is tedious (as the OP has said) but you can at least delete it all, including ticket booths and guest spawners, leaving just the pathway behind.
I just put some flora or build a decorative wall to obscure sight of that path remnant.

Really? Did not know that, pretty sure I tried that but could only delete the animal and clouds scenery inside of it, but will try again. Thanks for the tip!

I didn't know until I saw it in the Steam forums last week either. When you select the original entrance the status panel in the upper right shows the Edit and Delete buttons greyed out....I saw that and never tried anything else. But it turns out that double clicking them still opens up the group edit mode after all. Select individual pieces, and again all the functions in the upper right panel are disabled/greyed out....but you can still delete them by right clicking.

Be advised that the original entrances consist of more than one group. So if you can't do the right-click delete on something, it is probably in a different group. You'll just need to double click that item to open that group, rinse repeat.

Please bring back the ability to delete the entrance and spawn points in Franchise mode.
I keep getting staff, guests and now a boxed animal stuck there even though they are turned off and not connected to a path

They at least should give us back the Ability to delete the Part that is reaching into the buildable Area, so it isn't necessary to select a Heightmap every Time to get a smaller Entrance. But I agree it would be even better to be able to delete the complete Building. It would definitely save the Design of my North American Desert Park because I didn't delete it there when it was still possible

And the fixed entrance is still there, I just wanna build a carpark together with some guests spawns from the buses or the elevators of the car park building, that entrance made me stop playing Franchise mode, really sad and unmotivated when I wanna start a new zoo with better entrance. Sandbox just not really my type, I basically just use the sandbox mode to experiment on things or builds.

 

[TacticianLyra]

All of this. The fact that we're stuck with the default entrance, which clashes with all themes that aren't New World, is the reason I only ever build off scenario maps anymore.

I don't play Sandbox because there's no challenge to it.
