In the attached screenshot you should be able to see a cafe area that I've constructed that is set back from an underwater viewing area for my hippos. The small plaza with the benches is intended as somewhere for them to rest and eat (food/drink in the building itself) which they do, so far so good. However other guests insist on standing at the edge of the small plaza to look at the hippos instead of using the lowered viewing gallery to the left.
Before the building was created the guests flocked to the gallery, if I delete the paths to the building they continue to do so. So I don't believe it's anything to do with dead-ends for example, the guests are selecting to look at the animals from a distant vantage point rather than the nice underwater gallery I've painstakingly built for them - you just can't get the customers these days! I've moved the building twice to the right so that the plaza is now about 10 metres (in game terms) from the habitat and they still insist on standing there despite the fact they presumably can barely see anything!
It's not a huge problem but it's slightly spoilt the whole plan I had for this building, I guess I could block the eyeline from the seating area with trees or a wall or something but that sort of negates the whole point of the cafe building, it was meant as a resting place in the middle of the zoo with views all around, not a habitat viewing platform. Any other ideas to prevent guests standing there? Do guests just prefer to avoid stairs because they're lazy? Or do we know if the devs are planning any guest management tools like suggested viewpoints, guest 'barriers', that sort of thing?
