Lion's Food costs

delete account

I noticed that in the finance tab that my food costs were getting out of hand.
When i looked further into it i found out that the costs to feed my lions alone are 110.812,61.
Anyone else have this problem?

How many lions? What grade food?

That said, I do think there is a bug that causes food prices to jump for no clear reason and that this might be behind the bug that causes you to lose trillions of dollars sometimes that seems to still be around after beta.

Animal food is completly out of hand, no chance to make any calculation.
When you now have a food cost of 110k you can have 70k next year and 150k the following.
I just watch my secondary zoo die from it.

I even reduced the food enrichment to zero for a time to figure out if its caused there,
but there is no way to predict it.
I have no clue what causing that.

That, and having constantly to send animals to quarantine to avoid starving to death... It got me out of my Franchise zoos. I'll settle in sandbox until things are sorted out.

I've noticed that carnivore food costs are 8 to 10 times higher than that of herbivores. Not too long ago I started a zoo with Komodo Dragons and was barely able to turn a profit for the longest time. Normally I didn't have this problem as I started my zoos with a tortoise enclosure but I wanted to mix it up a bit. I don't think this is a bug, it's by design. You can check the animal's feeding costs on the habitat menu when you select the habitat. It would be nice if projected food costs would be listed somewhere before I adopt the animals.

I have the same animals in my secondary zoo since almost 40 ingame years.
It has only 6 habitats.
One year i have food expenses of 70.000 $, the next year of 95.000 $
Then it can go back to 80, 90, 65, 110 from year to year.

I checked a habitat with 5 gorillas, it caused 8,503 $ last year accoring to the game.
Another habitat with 6 gorialls caused 20.000 $ (exactly the same layout, size and food enrichment).

Now i have a crocodile habitat that went out of hand (my fault) with 12 ! crocodiles.
That caused 8.501 $ in the same year.

Both are at Food Grade 1 (and i shouldn't have to give my furry friends food to be able to afford them)

It is complete arbitrary.
