Adding even more atmosphere to players’ zoos is a range of petrifying plants, including the twisted Bristlecone pine tree, shade-loving Ivy and bioluminescent ghost fungus. You've got a lot of life left to live at 30, stop writing yourself off prematurely because we have a poor internet culture that's convinced you become an elder after the age of 21.In addition to these captivating critters, zookeepers can unleash their creativity with over 200 pieces of eerie scenery including castle-inspired building pieces complete with grinning gargoyles, and even a portcullis. You'll discover most people playing this game are in their late 20s-30s and many of us came from Zoo Tycoon. Considering 30s to be old or middle-aged is incredibly toxic and that mindset should not be encouraged. I think you'll enjoy Planet Zoo if you let go of expectations and play the game for what it is rather than trying to use it as a replacement for Dino Tycoon.Īlso endnote, but please don't call yourself "an older gamer" when you're only 34. But while they are in the same niche, they ARE different games. My love of Zoo Tycoon is why I asked for Planet Zoo. Conservation credits are harder to earn than money as they require releasing animals and conscientious effort on part of the player. If you want a cost challenge, play on franchise where players artificially inflate animal's conservation credit costs (ie, you can get a warthog that'd sell for maybe $200 for 3k conservation credits). You will likely end up broke and/or in debt and have to take out loans or restart. I suggest before you complain the finance system isn't challenging, you try to build and purchase the way you would in Dino Tycoon. Add-on other upkeep costs and it adds up quickly. Predators have high feed costs and you also have to pay staff-youll also likely want to train staff higher, so you have an efficiently-run zoo. You are NOT purchasing designer exotics for the purpose of making an animal playground: you are paying rehoming costs for animals that will contribute to conservation programs.Īs I said before, the old Tycoon games had lower ongoing costs. If you actually read about the animal, most of them are customs seizures or ex pets-this more than justifies the reasonable, realistic sales price. Planet Zoo is very strict about how its zoos are actually conservation-oriented, so of course they are not going to be supporting a capitalist animal market. That being said, even with actual zoos, it's usually rare to see a big cat go for over $15k. Thanks for listeningĭino Tycoon (all the Zoo Tycoon games for that matter) had higher upfront costs but lower long-term costs. Give me something to work towards! Is it at least hard to manage/balance cash flow? Thats one of the things I love about Planet Coaster - the challenge mode could actually be very challenging.Īnyways, thought i'd check in here and see whats what. Hopefully they dramatically increase as I continue to play? Like an Elephant should cost me $50,000. Again, I was so amped to dig into this game but felt the wind instantly let out of my sales when I saw how cheap the animals were. Like I have nothing to work towards if a Tiger is only going to cost $6,000 or so. Now, I know i'll have to build a habitat for them but almost feels like there is no 'point' to making money. I have to say I am super disappointed with how cheap the animals are. Keep in mind that I start with $40,000 and a toilet block (a porta potty for all intents and purposes) costs $2,000. Follow by a $3,000 Black Bear and in third is a measly $2,000 for a Crocodile. Granted, I just started my zoo but the most expensive animal for sale on the market is a $4,000 Mandril. Which is why I was a bit disappointed when scrolling through the Planet Zoo animals. You really* had to work your way up and when you finally could afford the illustrious T-rex.man. And one of my faaavorite things about it was how much money I had to save up to buy the good Dinosaurs. It had about 100pixels worth of graphics but my god did I love that game. I'm an older gamer at 34 and when I was young, there was a game called Dino Tycoon. Starting my first playthrough of Planet Zoo on 'Challenge Mode (Medium difficulty)' and one of the first things I did was check the pricing of animals.
