missing items from DLC

[PhilKewley]

I thought I saw the mobile food van shell & coach, boat spawn point shells in my game when I loaded in on Tuesday evening (day of launch) but they're not there now. I have the restaurant building shell, all the tables & chairs and the patio heater, But the three items that I was most looking forward to incorporating have vanished. have they been removed? Or were they never there and I was just imaging...

I've checked the integrity of the game (it's all OK) uninstalled & reinstalled, started a new save, anyone had similar issues

Which mode are you in and is it the same zoo you loaded before or a different one?

 

[PhilKewley]

thanks @Nioell it's a 200 year old franchise, but they're missing from new save games too. I think what I should have done was delete the entire steam folder when I uninstalled the game - but because I was hoping to keep the back up I didn't and I think possibly that if that backed up save is corrupted then every fresh start will also be corrupted. Grrr!

Are they still missing in SANDBOX new saves? You have to research themes in franchise

This ^^^

And can you even add new spawn points in franchise now? Last time I played that they weren't available there, so if they still aren't it's possible objects including those aren't in there either. Other than that it's like Wolfo said: you gotta use the mech research in all modes except sandbox to unlock the Europe theme and it's objects.

Guest spawn points? Additional zoo entrances with guest spawners have been available in franchise since couple of major updates back at least. They seem to work, as I put a second guest entrance and spawner in a franchise zoo the other day.

Okay, then that can't be the issue with those. I haven't played franchise in quite some time since the servers kept having issues and I prefer playing offline, so I wasn't sure that was a thing there, too.

They work fine in franchise mode. I can confirm.

As someone already mentioned, if you are in a different zoo, make sure you have researched the new Europe theme in mechanic research.

Hello.

I'm also having the same issue.

Details:
I can place guest spawner in franchise mode. (the regular one, either in blueprints or the separeted item).
I have the non entrance coach and ferry in the zoo. (I already researched europe theme.)
I can place both coach entrance and ferry entrance in sandbox mode...

However I do not found the coach entrance nor the ferry in my franchise zoo, on facilities nor constrution tabs.
Any ideias how to fix it?

Thanks!

Have you completed the mechanic research for the "Europe" theme in any franchise zoo yet all the way to the top level? Keep in mind that the research has multiple tiers. I'm not sure which tier unlocks the entrances.

The place to find them is under Facilities (not construction) in the Visitor-Zoo Entrances subsection. Make sure you don't have it filtered to show only blueprints. They are NOT blueprints.

I honestly think the "non-entrance" coach and ferry you are talking about ARE the entrances. You need to add a path connection and then a "zoo entrance" gate for them to function.

This might be it. howeveri always thoughtthat the advanced levels where just to get blueprints... I'll try o maximize this today. Thanks!

yes. I reset all filters, and searched on search bar " coach" and it do not appears...

In sandbox they are different items, the closed ones are just props and can be found in construction, the opened ones, serve as entrance are found in faciliies (in the sand box mode).. I'll try pop one "closed" next to a path to see what happens...

Thank you once more!

Nope, you are right, they are different items. I never noticed the props for them in construction, so thanks for bringing it up!

Hopefully maxing out the Europe theme mechanic research gets them to show up for you. I honestly wish I'd taken the time to pay attention at what level they unlocked when I did the research so I could be sure it will help you. If you have the time, could you circle back and let us know, that way anyone else who experiences the same problem who finds this thread with "search" will have more information.

Solve it!

They came in the second level of research.. which makes me thing that I might be missing items from ALL DLC ... LOL

I though that second to forth level where just blueprints guess I was wrong... Now, I'll maximize all of them..

Thank you!
