I have played Planet Zoo for a total of 320+ hours (mainly Sandbox, but a little franchise as well) and I have never had an issue with my staff not being able to enter any of the staff buildings until today (05/29/2020). I have deleted paths many times just to reconnect to the staff buildings again and the same issue, staff still cannot enter the buildings. After giving up on laying down the paths (I genuinely hate the path tool btw, it’s just awful), I went to look at my two animals in quarantine (somehow they could access quarantine but not any other building???) and to my surprise one of the animals went missing, like gone into this air. So to make sure I’m not going crazy I checked the trade history to see if I adopted one male and one female like I thought I did and according to the history page I did but yet my female animal couldn’t be found anywhere. I honestly have tried to be patient with Planet Zoo but after today I’m almost at the point where I want to quit this game entirely. I’ve hated the path tool since Planet Coaster so when I got this game I was beyond FURIOUS to find out it’s the same path tool but I decided to try to get used to the path tool. Well after over 320+ hours I have not gotten used to the awful path tool and I still genuinely hate the path tool.
I will not tell how many hours I have played it, it could indicate some kind of addiction ... anyway, sometimes it's frustrating.
Like yesterday. I thought...let's take a break from this game...maybe wait for some updates, cause I had so many issues on this day.
Rain and snow in buildings, keepers that are frozen on a path ( clicking the same path with a different color fixed the problem....strange), animals doing magic tricks by walking through walls or staying/laying on the water (again with subzero-temps....what's up there???).

First things first: totally agree about the terrible path tool which is also one of the main reasons why I stopped playing for now.
The whole staff thing seems to be yet another bug that's gotten even worse since the last update, and from what I know there isn't a fix beyond trying what you already did besides maybe deleting and rebuilding the facilities.
As for the missing animal: did you check your vet clinic as well? If it was sick or injured it'd be put there to be treated, if it's not in there as well it's probably yet another bug.

The funniest bug I had the last few days was a message about a keeper, who couldn't find any break room nearby with enough space. Well, I've got 3 of them: one small, two large and all in one place in the center. In each of them was enough space - and in fact he was already in one of the break rooms taking his rest. But the message stayed on and on and on - until he left, his energy in green again.
Are you getting messages on the loading screen that your zoos path is being regenerated? This is an issue the devs have not commented on but numerous saved games have been sent with this problem.
Not sure if way too many, but the things that have annoyed me are the Speed of the Game, and no Folders so we can structure the Animals and Staff better. Also the Path System which most hate. I would like to see an Editor if only for Construction, or at least adjustable pieces. Not playing so much of late, some things do need addressing, but it is a Great Game otherwise
