Turtles and tortoises are very hard to care for and max out their needs very easily-this applies to the Galapagos Tortoises and African Spurred Tortoises. Still, the ocean expansion acts really funky at times (zookeepers won't go into those exhibits and clean the water-huh?) but I find putting zookeepers in exhibits and not having exit gates helps with that problem. I've been returning to my animal-loving roots and was so excited when I found this download.ĭownloading it was a bit finicky, but I found any issues I ran into were easily fixed by just uninstalling and re-downloading. I loved this game as a kid, I learned so much playing it and it instilled a love for building sim games that carried on way into my adulthood. Viewable exhibit means it has to have a portion of fencing that is see through for guests - concrete/solid fencing is not see through.

Regardless of these settings, your zoo will need to be set to OPEN and you will need to have at least one *viewable* exhibit, with one or more animals in it, in order for guests to spawn. Again, you will need to edit all 3 lines in both of the files mentioned above in order for this to work. Change the base spawn probability to "1" to force maximum guest spawning.

This means there will be a minimum delay of 0.01 seconds and a maximum delay of 0.03 seconds between guests spawning. The default values are 1 and 6 for delay times. The values to change for faster guest spawning: I'm running it on an RTX 2080 Ti and Threadripper 3960X. In this respect, your hardware doesn't matter. I've set it as high as 600, but the game will lag (a lot) once you go higher than about 80-120. You have to change both values, in both files. The default is 30, I wouldn't recommend setting it any higher than 80. The values to change for maximum number of guests: Don't change the wording, quotes, or spacing.Ĥ.) Save the edited file (to your desktop).ĥ.) Drag the edited copy into the directory on 7-zip, which will replace the original one with your modified copy.įor these, you'll need to follow the same process above to edit TWO files: It can't be set lower than 1, and I've tested setting it up to 3.6 million with success. 360,000 will make it run 100x faster than normal. If you set it to 36,000, it will run 10x faster than default speed. The default number is 3600, meaning the game time runs 3600x faster than real time.

For Windows 10 users, it will be something like C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2ġ.) Right click x300_000.z2f > 7-zip > open archive. Here are a couple of my personal favorite mods.

All you need is an archive viewer like 7-zip or WinRAR. Zoo Tycoon 2 can be modified in various ways pretty easily. It can still happen, though - it did to me, and I was using neither of those things.

To help avoid the game crashing like this, avoid using downloaded content and elevated paths. To get to the default save game location, open Windows Explorer and paste this into the address bar: %appdata%\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2\Default Profile\Saved

I would strongly recommend periodically going to the save game location on your PC and *copying* the save file for your zoo to a backup location. A lot of people have lost a lot of time they spent designing a zoo due to this problem. This game is great, super fun to play, BUT: it's also notorious for crashing and corrupting the save game.
