Scenario: Yamaguchi Prefecture Tranquillity Zoo

[Jileha]

Yaay finally completed .. year 14 with 230k+ in balance.

Congratulations!

I’m also done except for the final inspector report, and it doesn’t look like there’s any visit scheduled - like several players already reported for several of the scenarios. The button is grayed out and does not give a schedule for the next visit. I’ll give it bit more time tonight.

Have you ever had a visit yet from the inspector ? What year are you at ? I've noticed that every scenario that explicitly tells you to wait for a reporter or inspector you get them. If you have had them in that zoo before now then it may be just that it will be longer than 2 years apart. I haven't seen any inspector visitor alert longer than 2 years apart and I have had visits between 4 months and 2 years apart so I know the timing can vary .. so if your zoo is very good otherwise, maybe the visits are few and far between. Where mine were struggling I had very frequent visits it seems. Of course there is always a chance that it is an intermittent annoying little bug messing things up. If stopping and starting the game doesn't work and waiting another year or two doesn't have them show then yes, maybe report it as a bug.

I don’t really pay attention to inspectors’ visits, but based on the report available in the main zoo tab, it looks right at the beginning and no more reports since then.

I waited over two years for the inspector to show up. Nada. Maybe there is something specific that triggers the visit and that I did not do. Or something that I did do that somehow prevents the inspector from coming. I guess I’ll have to do it all over again at some point. I will pay more attention to the earlier visits.

Yeah thats why I decided to do the scenarios all over again to see if there was some sort of pattern to the visits .. and they are seemingly random. Based on how some scenarios do not have an inspection visit requirement they don't always happen I suspect there is an internal switch that says, yes an inspector should visit the zoo. And then something that decides when the next visit should be. If it is somewhat based on real life then perhaps the worse a zoo is the more frequent the visits .. so maybe a long time between visits is a good thing .. meaning your zoo was brilliant the last time so we will come in a few years time and see if you have kept things up .. I assume the other modes have the inspector visits switch on all the time and it is just the timing situation that I have played about with yet.

The first time I did the scenarios I had assumed they had arrived as per the other modes as I passed them all at gold with little problems.. but after playing through again it seems only those scenarios with inspection report requirements have an inspector visit with the free build ones with no inspection report requirements treated similarly to franchise and intermittent or even non existent... whether there is a pattern to that timing I haven't identified yet but I did notice that you get a few visits a few months apart and then a year and then 18 months and maybe even 2 years but I've not seen anything longer than 2 years but then I wasn't timing between visits, only the alerts and when the first one appeared on some scenarios.

I am not sure if this is a bug, or I am doing something wrong (sad I can't tell this difference with this game)

I can't get the toilets fixed. I call the mechanics, and they do not show up. I have set them to just repair facilities and that does not help. I have created a work zone with a single broken toilet and staff facilities, and the mechanic just wanders around. I have created work zones and assigned mechanics to these work zones. They often keep repairing power and water because they decay fast, so I deleted them and replaced with new.

I have been able to delete a couple of toilets and replace them with new ones. However many of them can't be deleted.

Had the same issue with the toilets. Just let them be broken. Build new ones instead.

Still got gold on that mission so it doesnt matter so much.

Doesn't help if you are well into an attempt but I had this issue with toilets and ATMs. I restarted the scenario and didn't have it so I think it is a bug issue for a single save file

Interesting enough, my first attempt some toilets would be fixed. It would take awhile, but they would get fixed. They kept breaking. I started a new game and this one seemed to have every toilet broken (it was not that way in the first one, but maybe mechanics fixed them before I noticed.)

I have added toilets and that is helping. I am just tired on the notification that toilets or broke and the fact that this seems to still affect guests.

I use toilets to bring in the money to run the zoo so this has definately hurt. I suppose if I have to try a third time then I will see if the toilets get fixed immediately. If not, then I will delete what I can an add new toilets. That way, I can generate needed cash much faster.

The first thing I did was pause the game, then delete the staff buildings near the biggest habitat which'll net you about 35-40k. No need to get those back later either since the smaller building near the other entrance is more than enough. Then I replaced all the broken stuff, set up three work zones (keep all the shops and stuff) and completed the monorail track.

what building is this
