I must admit franchise mode is very entertaining. You can basicaly spent an eternity there, working on different parks in every biome/continent. However redoing mechanical research in every new park makes no sense to me. I understand the budget and the animal research because its based on having specific animal in your zoo. But what is the point of having a global franchise when you cant apply your knowing to the other parks? I hope the devs reconsider this mechanic in the future. What do you guys think?
