Solution to my financial problems

[jeruntje]

Hi everyone,

I really enjoy this game. When I first started my zoo (challange mode) everything was fine. I was swimming in the money, untill I added my giant panda habitat. All of the sudden I was losing money fast. I didn't know what happened. I saw that my donations didn't increase much but foodcosts increased very much. I found this odd, guests were donating for my giant pandas but on overall the total donations didn't increase much. I couldn't figure out what was happening.
Untill I looked at my guests needs, they were thirsty and hungry, I had enough food en drink stalls, but they weren't making use of it.
The it dawned on me, the guests didn't have enough money! When I started my zoo I put two ATM machines at the entrance of my zoo and guests weren't making use of them. So I thought two ATM machines were enough for 2500 guests. Then I started putting down more ATM machines across my zoo, people flocked towards them and on average each ATM machine got 150 guests! All off the sudden donations were rising and peoples needs (thirst and hunger) were getting satisfied!

Maybe this tip can help some of you who struggle to keep the finances in the plus!

greetings,

Jeruntje

This is a great tip! I don't have financial issues at the moment, but good to know that if I ever encounter them the lack of ATMs might be why.

Good tip!

Do guest thoughts ever include something like "I want to buy a drink but I've run out of money" ? That would be a good in-game hint that you need more ATM's.

I honestly never even think about the ATMs! But I can see how this can be a great solution for a larger Zoo where guests are there long enough to spend all of their money.

ATMs are like the "give me more of your money" machines.
