Planet Zoo - Franchise Mode Feedback

Wow thank you so much!! I'm so impressed:):) Can we have a competition to name the fourth mode? My vote would be Local mode. Because you're making a local zoo - just for you:p
 
Thank you for listening, awesome that we get this extra mode.also nice to know the traditional sandbox mode is also still coming because that is the best thing to use for content design and the creation of a dream zoo. Definitely got my interest in the options like no breeding and no death. Hopefully sandbox will alos include no power and water filter required and no breakage, always happy staff etc. The usual lol


Again thanks for the extra offline franchise mode

Ps. Would be awesome if in sandbox mode we could also set per animal if they have infinite lifespan or not but i gues thats a bit too much to ask lol

This is great! Definitely with longevity in mind, it's hard to say how many people will be playing and trading animals ten years down the line. If playership dwindles significantly then that could have hobbled and entire play mode of the game and left those who are playing hanging dry.
 
Well, I appreciate the new mode. But for me being always online is not a problem. I'd rather have franchise mode tweaked with max and minimum prices and conservation points in the sale, based on genetic. Currently it's capitalism only, but what I want is conservation together with other players. Franchise mode in itself is a great idea, but I feel like the feedback on the market we give is yet unheared. The inflation makes it almost impossible for players who have not a running franchise from day one to join the fun.

Edit: That came across unthankfull. of course I do appreciate that you are working so hard on the game and listen to feedback. I recognize you do. Thank you. I just like current franchise mode, but at the moment it's not what it was market for and that's actually a pitty.
I agree with this. Franchise mode currently has an ultimate team feel to it where players can own one animal so that newer players to the mode can't access them. I had a money bug in my franchise so had to start again and now can't get close to the conversation credits needed for the bigger animals. I currently need a make Baird's Tapir for being but they are all now over 200 credits which seems silly. Some kind of cap would be good.

One way to solve this is for Frontier to always have all kinds, but just lowish quality animals available for market price.
 
This comes as such a huge relief.

I've been looking to fill my Zoo Tycoon nostalgia for years, but I was sorely disappointed being unable to afford the inflated conservation point costs on the player-market in franchise mode and unable to actually purchase any of the animals I had planned on buying. I hate to sound ungrateful, but I was slightly regretting my preorder having thought this wasn't going to be the right fit for me - I'm SO glad to learn it won't require player trading after all. I'm still a little sad that there still won't be a fully freeplay sandbox mode with unlimited funds/credit for the sake of playing purely for creativity Edit: I stand corrected, there will be! :D Thank you SO much. I'm hyped.

Sandbox mode is still happening which is the unlimited funds mode that I believe you are looking for. You'll be able to create and design anything you want without worrying about money. This mode is just franchise mode offline for those that still want the challenge of limited money without the added stress of playing with others and not being able to get a lot of the animals due to high costs and such.

Oh, perfect! I misinterpreted the "new mode will still include a full economy with both dollars and Conservation Credits" as being for speaking for all modes rather than being specific to Franchise-mode only. Rereading the OP that seems so obvious now, I'm not sure how I misread. Thank you so much!
 
Will we beable to also test that new offline franchise mode ? Because it only makes sense to test that mode also for bugs as im sure bugs will discovered that are not in the online one.
 
Thank you so much. Coming from someone who lives 1 mile out from any internet lines.
This makes the online mode seem more appealing, because I have an option to play some fun challenges and interact with people.

No problem! I'm most excited about sandbox mode and I totally get how some of the writing can be misinterpreted so I didn't want you to feel let down or anything!

Agreed. Community challenge to release West African Lions was a great idea. But can I afford even 1 lion? No chance. Best get releasing peacocks for 1 credit each..
 
Hello! I really like the game Planet Zoo Beta. I can't wait until the premiere of the game Planet Zoo.
I would love to have the creators of Planet Zoo think about the additions to create aquariums with fish.
Seals, penguins, polar bears and birds would be useful in the game.
Please think about such variants. There will be more fans of this game and buyers.
