Help in career-mode

[Fortunanovesia]

Hey guys. Besides the timed scenarios im playing the career-mode again to unlock the steam achievment. So its meant to play it on the highest difficult-level.

Right now im in the safari zoo. (Dont know the name right now, the 5th or 6th zoo) but as soon as i start thr zoo im instantly running out of money. So it means i need to change a lot in the zoo to earn some money. Before even unpausing the game i finish the safaritour, spam animal education signs and boxes for the guests to spend their money throughout the whole zoo. But i still run out of money pretty fast. Especially the elephants are so super expensive, even on food lvl. 1. What could i do to balance my finances under these circumstances. Never had an issue with the scenarios, but this one is pretty tough.

Drink and food shops, fill in all the exhibits (more guests, donations and offspring to sell) and spam speakers and donation boxes everywhere, that's how I beat it on hard. And let the vets research so you get the education bonuses and can grab even more donation money from guests.

Dont more animals of the same specied mean more food so more costs? Would be interesting to know the relation between increasing of the food costs of an animal of the same species and what your by more visitors in your zoo.

Yeah, more animals mean higher feeding costs. It's why your zoo can handle 2-3 Lions no problem even early on but a full pride will eat you into bankruptcy faster than you can say the word xD

just tried all of your advices and still got bankrupt pretty soon.

Now ive got a solution. There are so many 5-star employees in the zoo. So i did what happens all the time in real life. I fired the expensive ones and installed new, worse but cheaper employees...

Haha, that works too xD Haven't played those in a while so can't remember how many trained staff there were.
