It's not a case of "sugarcoating anything". I don't post about unloadable zoos or crashes because I don't have those problems. Nor do I perceive any performance issues or problems with balance of costs. I'm sorry that some are facing those problems. I certainly have had similar issues in other games and can understand the frustration. But one can't be accused of ignoring something if they are not actually experiencing it.
You must have quoted me by mistake. But then, I don't see that as a prevailing narrative on the forums at all. In fact, that's the driver behind this thread.
Have you ever thought that perhaps if it's not a "bug" then the cost of food is simply way too expensive?Hello!
Happy to explain on things further if need be
- The feeding bug is something we're continuing to look into; we've reviewed a lot of parks over the past couple of weeks and 90% of the time there was no bug - so it's hard for us to nail down what is happening if it doesn't occur for our QA team. If you are experiencing the bug and are confident it will continue to happen, please do send us your save file (either via the Issue Tracker or community@frontier.co.uk) so we can look into it.
- So far with every single update we've rolled out we've fixed these issues; likewise if a fix has not worked we have rolled back or done a hotfix, to ensure as many people as possible can play and nobody loses their save. If you personally have a save file that is bugged, then please do send them via the links above.
- We can roll out updates on any day before Friday; the reason we don't update on Fridays is because our teams have a right to a weekend off as well, and we cannot expect them to be on call 24/7 to monitor and roll out updates. In terms of what gets fixed and what doesn't, we prioritise based on the following two things: the community's reports in the Issue Tracker, and our internal prioritisation based on the ease of the fix (e.g. some things are more elusive or, like "in-game time", the entire simulation relies on it) as well as some other factors. We've always been open about this process and explain where possible in case of delays, or ask for your patience as we look for more information. We cannot continuously put out fixes every day because A) there will be nothing to fix, things take time, and B) it's a huge drain on multiple internal teams, so we have to strike a balance. We also don't want to continuously interrupt people's saves/games with updates. Hope this makes sense!
- This one really baffles me: we've been on the forums constantly, we've done lots of livestreams (and continue to do so), we are super active on social - we do our best to reply to everyone and make sure you feel heard. In terms of server maintenance, there's a pinned post in General Discussions as well as multiple posts on social and on here regarding what's happening. For some issues we might not have all the information, so we cannot reply to people until we do - but we are constantly talking to the rest of the team to make sure we can relay information as quickly and accurately as possible.
Take care!
I agree. The breeding rate isn't a bug, but it's extremely annoying for the majority of players.
Lmao, according to the Guiness book of records, the most expensive animal to keep in captivity is........ the GIANT PANDA.

Haha, never mind... forgot about that one... Haven't seen that link recently popping up in a diff. topic... Thanks !!!
You'd better talk in that manner to all these mass-breeders out there, each keeping hundreds of albino and rare species like elephants in habitats that are the same, in which the meat is produced they eat everyday. And ingame breeding rates don't suffer at all.
