It will guide you through installation itself. If you have problems installing and know that you have the requirments you can ring a support line as listed at the end of this FAQ. ==================== [ 1.5 | Game Types ] ==================== When starting the game you can choose from three different game types, they are as follows: [1] Scenario Game ~ Begin playing scenarios, win-or-lose games, with set goals. There are tweleve games to clear, you can only play certain ones until you clear the next. [2] Freeform Game ~ Here you can play as you like on as big a map as you like, with as much money as you like. [3] Load Saved Game ~ Play a saved game that you have played and saved before. ============================ [ 1.6 | Building an Exibit ] ============================ To build an exibit you will need to know which, fence, animal and terrain you are going to use, to give you an idea I have an example below on how to build an exibit for a Lion. Example 1. ============ Animal | Lion Cost | $700 [1] First choose a fence, I would recommend the Iron Bar Fencing or Chain- Link Fencing, in the end I choose the Chain Link instead of the Iron Bar because it works just as well and only costs $70 instead of $180. [2] Next choose a exibit size (there is a list of recommended sizes at the end), the minimum size I would ever use is 8x8 (64 squares) and thats what I used it should cost a total of $2,240. [3] Now you should put an animal in the exibit, since the lion prefers to go around in small groups, two would be enough, one female and one male, they will probably have several cubs latter on, and cubs really are a big money spinner. [4] Next you most make the terrain right. You can check what the zookeeper thinks to make sure you get it right. At the end in the lists section of this FAQ you will find info on how to make suitable terrains. The lions is, 80% savannah grass, 13% dirt, 4% sand and 3% freshwater. Since we don't have a hundred squares to make it easy for us, we can round the figures off to what they should be. 80 x 64 = 51 (.20) Just leave out the point two. 100 1 13 x 64 = 8 (.32) Leave out the point three two. 100 1 4 x 64 = 2 (.56) Leave out the point five six. 100 1 3 x 64 = 1 (.92) Add up all your points and add them to your one, 100 1 so you will have 3 squares. [5] You can now finish up by adding trees etc., you can check the list of animals favorite trees in the list section. Also add a few rocks and if it helps, you can add a toy. [6] Well done you now have a good exibit! Here is a list of things you just did. =COST= Fence | $2,240 Animals | $1,400 Savannah | $3,570 Dirt | $0,160 Sand | $0,060 Freshwater | $0,090 Trees etc., | $1,000 approx. ======= Total | $8,520 approx. [7] As you can see donations won't pay for the exibit too quickly, but things like shops and stalls will along with the entrance few and recycling income. =================== [ 1.7 | Buildings ] =================== Animal Houses =============== During the game you can add animal houses and many other buildings, these attract more people, they are as below. [ 1] Birds of the Tropical Rainforest + 5 Adults + 3 Childern [ 2] Birds of Africa + 8 Adults + 5 Childern [ 3] Raptors of the World + 10 Adults + 15 Childern [ 4] Reptiles of the Rainforest + 5 Adults + 5 Childern [ 5] Deadly Snakes of the World + 10 Adults + 15 Childern [ 6] Primates of the World + 5 Adults + 3 Childern [ 7] Primates of Southeast Asia + 6 Adults + 6 Childern [ 8] Lemurs of Madagascar + 10 Adults + 15 Childern [ 9] Scorpions of Africa + 5 Adults + 5 Childern [10] Venomous Spiders + 8 Adults + 12 Childern Shops/Stalls ============== [ 1] Snack Machine COSTS | $50 SELLS | Snacks [ 2] Drink Machine COSTS | $50 SELLS | Drinks [ 3] Gift Stand COSTS | $125 SELLS | Stuffed Pandas [ 4] Ice Cream Stand COSTS | $125 SELLS | Ice Cream [ 5] Hot Dog Stand COSTS | $175 SELLS | Hot Dogs [ 6] Drink Stand COSTS | $250 SELLS | Drinks [ 7] Gift Shop COSTS | $600 SELLS | Coloring Books, Plastic Animals, Stuffed Pandas, and Zoo T-Shirts [ 8] Burger Stand COSTS | $250 SELLS | Burgers [ 9] Pizza Stand COSTS | $325 SELLS | Pizzas [10] Restaurant COSTS | $2,200 SELLS | Food! Other ======= [ 1] Restroom COSTS | $120 [ 2] Family Restrom COSTS | $250 [ 3] Petting Zoo COSTS | $700 [ 4] Elephant Ride COSTS | $1,200 [ 5] Animal Theater COSTS | $1,300 [ 6] Japanese Garden COSTS | $1,900 [ 7] Compost Building COSTS | $1,500 [ 8] Carousel COSTS | $800 [ 9] Pony Ride COSTS | $700 Later on I have far more on each Building. ============================================================================== SECTION | 2 | | C O N S T U C T I O N | ============================================================================== ============ [ Contents ] ============ 2.1 | Fencing 2.2 | Paths 2.3 | Foliage 2.4 | Rocks 2.5 | Terrain 2.6 | Terrain Height ================= [ 2.1 | Fencing ] ================= ======== =Basics= ======== USE: Fences can be used to contain animals or impress guests. ======= =COSTS= ======= NAME | Iron Bar Fence COST | $180.00 NAME | Woodslat Window COST | $110.00 NAME | Concrete Chain Fence COST | $150.00 NAME | Chain Link Fence COST | $70.00 NAME | Concrete Fence COST | $200.00 NAME | Plexiglass Fence COST | $150.00 NAME | Woodenslat Fence COST | $110.00 NAME | Post and rail Fence COST | $90.00 NAME | Stick Pole Window COST | $75.00 NAME | Rock Wall COST | $150.00 NAME | Rock Window COST | $150.00 NAME | Stick Pole Fence COST | $75.00 NAME | Low Iron Bar Fence COST | $125.00 NAME | Low Wodden Slat Fence COST | $85.00 NAME | Low Stick Pole Fence COST | $55.00 NAME | Low Rock Wall COST | $125.00 NAME | Low Post and Rail Fence COST | $70.00 NAME | Low Plexiglass Fence COST | $125.00 NAME | Low Concrete Fence COST | $125.00 NAME | Low Chain-Link Fence COST | $45.00 NAME | Low Concrete Chain Fence COST | $125.00 NAME | Post and Rope Fence COST | $30.00 Only can be used as themeing NAME | Low Hedge Fence COST | $85.00 Only can be used as themeing NAME | Cast-Iron Fence COST | $65.00 Only can be used as themeing NAME | Picket Fence COST | $30.00 Only can be used as themeing NAME | White Fence COST | $60.00 Only can be used as themeing NAME | Brick Wall COST | $80.00 Only can be used as themeing ============== =WHICH FENCE?= ============== Certain Fence can only hold certain animals as below.

[2] When it comes to fences, the main thing to look out for, is cost, because if you can choose from 18 fences, and you are building a large exibit, the cheapest one may be cheaper be several thousned in caparison to even the normal fences, never mind the darest. =============== [ 2.2 | Paths ] =============== ======== =Basics= ======== USE: Paths are mainly used as a guide to were a guests should walk, there are several types including a golden path (this is not included below because it requires a cheat to activate it) ======= =COSTS= ======= NAME | Dirt Path COST | $10.00 NAME | Sand Path COST | $10.00 NAME | Asphalt Path COST | $25.00 NAME | Concrete Path COST | $25.00 NAME | Brick Path COST | $50.00 NAME | Cobblestone COST | $50.00 ====== =TIPS= ====== [1] For paths leading to exibit enterances, recycling centres or other such places, use the "Dirt Path," because it is far cheaper, and will keep guests from wondoring off the main route. [2] Try to build your park in such a way that guests can walk the whole way around the Zoo, and finish at the entrance, with the food area in the centre. The reason being, guests will see every single exibit, therfore giving more donations, secondly guests will never be far from the centre or rather the foodcourt, and thats where you make most of your money, thirdly it is cheaper to go in a circle around the Zoo, than to have paths everywere, fourtly, it leaves mantanince workers with a easier job, leaving you with less of a need to hire as many, finaly, it makes the exibits more excessable to the Zookeeper. [3] Keep paths wide, if they are wide it leaves room for expansion, e.g. if a particuler part of the Zoo becomes popular, you can add several stalls and benchs. Also your guests will appricate the space more so and be in a better mood. My recomendation would be 5 squares wide in the normal parts of the Zoo, and up to 10 squares wide in the busy parts, as that leaves plenty of room for stalls, restaurants, rides etc. [4] Be nice, don't go making your guests march through some dirt path, because thats what they are, there your GUESTS, and they can leave at any time they feel like it. But on the other hand its not the Queen who's solely going to your Zoo, so I would recommend a concrete path, not too lavish, but not too cheap. And remember, 1000 squares (a reasonable amount) of concrete path at a grand total of $25,000 is far cheaper than 1000 squares of Cobblestone path at a grand total of $50,000. Thats a saving of $25,000 easily enough to build several exibits, or the equivilent of a whole years profit in a small Zoo in the first few years. [5] Theme your paths with fountains, benchs, and trees, themeing makes guests feel better, and they will appricate it, also it can build up the Zoo rating big time. [6] Don't forget to put bins everywere [within reason], because a Zoo with bins should only need half the amount of mantanince workers, and you must remember wages are the biggest regular cost. ================= [ 2.3 | Foliage ] ================= ======== =Basics= ======== USE: Foliage is necessary to help different animals settle in and to trick them into thinking there still in there natural habitats. USE (2): You can also sell trees to make money by demolishing them. ======= ========== =COSTS= ~ Savannah ======= ========== NAME | Thorn Bush COST | $20.00 NAME | Tall Grass COST | $75.00 NAME | Acacia caffra Tree COST | $125.00 NAME | Thorn Acacia Tree COST | $150.00 NAME | Yellow Fever Tree COST | $175.00 NAME | Unbrella Thorn Tree COST | $210.00 NAME | Baobab Tree COST | $300.00 NAME | Khejri Tree COST | $165.00 NAME | Grass Tree COST | $125.00 NAME | Hard Quandong Tree COST | $200.00 NAME | Eucalyptus Tree COST | $225.00 ============= =Which Tree?= ============= Only some animals like certain trees, on the chart below, I have all the savannah grass animals and trees, I also have there favorite trees marked.

A space like "(=text=)" is my own comment. The reason for displaying this information, is that it contains a lot of usful information, such as terrain type etc. AFRICAN BUFFALO [3.4.1] =========================== "The African, or Cape, Buffalo is the only African species of the Large international Bovidae family, which includes the American Bison and European domesticated Cattle." "The native habitat of the African Buffalo is the savannah grass of central and southern Africa. Although these animals can survive under all sorts of conditions found within this region, there ideal habitat is an open area containing high grassy thickets and the occasional tree for cover, with access to a permanent supply of water and mud for wallowing. The buffalo grazes on a wide assortment of savannah grasses. Its long, prehensile tongue allows it to consume the taller, coarse grass usually avoided by other herd animals." "The african buffalo roams in large herds. Each herd has an established range that rarely overlaps the ranges of other herds. The social behavior among buffalo, is highly coopartive; for instance, if a herd crosses into a solitary bull's territary, that bull will lead the herd through its land, and than allow the next bull to take over at the boundary. At rest, related animals, within a herd will often lie with there backs touching or with chins propped on each other's backs. In the open spaces of the African savannah, buffalo herds can often contain 500 to 2500 individuals. Because of there relitivly large size and need for space thy are kept in much smaller groups in captivity." "African buffalos tend to be quiet animals, except for grunts and bellows during the mating season. On the whole, the African buffalo is rather placid except for when it is injured or threatened. When threatened, the buffalo will aggressivly shake its head, presenting its formidable horns to the opponent. An angry buffalo will also stamp its feet and charge. In a herd, this behavior is contagious; one enraged buffalo can quickly upset the other animals. With poor eyesight and hearing, these animals depend greatly an there keen sense of smell, which can detect a predator 800 feet away." "Although adult buffalo, weighing in at 1,000 pound, are generaly safe from attack, they will vigorously protect there young, from such predators as lions and hyenas. On occasion, there thick hides enable them to escape, through dense thornbushs, that would deter most animals. At a speed of up to 35mph, buffalo are capable of outrunning a pursueing lion, but can be ambushed in spite of this since it is difficult for them to get up to this speed quickly. Only lions are capable of bringing down a healthy adult buffalo, and even then they run a considerable risk of being treed, gored or trampled by an enraged herd." AFRICAN ELEPHANT [3.4.2] ============================ "The native habitat of the elephant is the open savannah of central and southern Africa. In the wild, elephants occupy a wide geographic range, often traveling many miles in a single day. In captivity, elephants need relitively large exibits to live and move about. The more elephants the more space they need. Elephants are generaly found in regions containing wide swaths of tall grasses broken by the occasional stands of acacias and the large African Baobob tree, which the elephants like to use for shade. Areas of dirt and sand near waterholes form cool mud holes for the elephants to wallow in, and the occasional rock provides a perfect scratching post for removing mud." "Elephants are herbivores, eating various grasses, hays and even trees. They eat ferquently which is not surprising, given there enormous size. There long flexible trunks, allow them to reach down to pull up tall grasses as well as to reach up to pull down tasty branchs inaccessible even to a giraffe. In captivity they are fed a varity of foods, including hay, brouse (e.g. acicia, corn stalks, bamboo, mulberry, and fisus) apples, bananas, carrots, yam, barn, and herbivore pellets." "Elephants are social animals. Although they are often found in groups of up to 25 in the wild, keeping great numbers of elephants in a zoo would tax even the wealtiest zoos. In captivity, groups of two to six individuals are more conmmon. Elephants can quickly become upset when they don't have enough contact of there own kind. An angry or upset elephant will make its familier loud turmpeting sound. There highly social nature means that one angry elephant can upset the rest of the herd." "Elephants are hardy animals that don't often get sick. When they do there strong constitutions enable them to weather the illness a relitivly long time before it becomes life-threatening. Elephants reproduce poorly in captivity." "As the largest land mammels in the world, elephants can afford to feel relitively safe in the wild, at least from other animals. In general elephants only tolerate there own kind. While they have nothing to fear from even the largest predators, they still become very uneasy when placed in close proximity of these animals. Even non-predatory buffalo and rhino can make elephants uncomfortable." AMERICAN BIGHORN SHEEP [3.4.3] ================================== "American Bighorn Sheep posesses massive, brown-spriled horns and beautiful brown fur. These animals live in the western mountains of North America, ranging from southern Canada all the way to northern Mexico. Although bighorn sheep are well-adapted to a range of elevations and tempeatures, they prefer steep rocky regions and are attracted by open alpine meadows, containing a varity of grasses and succulent, low-growing vegitation. In captivity the natural diet of these sheep is suppulamented with alfalfa and grain pellets. In the wild these animals will eagerly seek out mineral licks containing salt." "Gregarious animals, bighorn sheep somtimes gather in herds of over 100 individuals. In the wild, herds consist of a dominent ewe and a mixture of ewes, yearlings and lambs. Rams travel in small bands of their own, joining the females during mating season." "Bighorn sheep are very alert and, in addtion to possessing keen hearing and a good sense of smell, have remarkable vision that allows them to judge distances accurately when jumping and locating footholes. They can spot other animals moving from up to a mile away. Bighorn hooves are hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and so act as shock absorbers, contributing to the sheep's ability to rapidly scramble up rocky terrain." AMERICAN BISON [3.4.4] ========================== "The American Bison, somtimes referred to as the American Buffalo, once comprised the largest community of wild animals in the history of the world. By one estimate there were sixty million bison in North America when Colombus landed. During the late 1800s, millions of these animals were wantonly slaughtered, bringing them to the verge of extincition. Today bisonn live only in parks and reserves or in privately owned herds across the United States, and Canada. Bison herds usually contain about 60 individuals: amix of cows, calves and young adults. Adult males range singly or in smaller groups." "The more common varity of bison, the plains bison, is by definition a creature of the grassland. These animals trive on a varity of Grasses. In captivity bison are generaly fed, alfalfa, hay or grain pellets. Bison need a great deal of space and an adequate water supply, which they take once a day." "Bison are very alert animals, with a keen sense of smell and hearing. A bison can detect a scent up to three kilometers away. They are also capable of a varity of sounds such as a pig-like grunting when resting, snorting when alarmed, and a loud bellowing when angry." "As the largest mammal on the North American continent, a healthy, adult bison needs to have little fear of predatars. However a peaceful grazing animal can change without warning into a snorting, pawing, 2,000-pound threat, with a menacingly lowered head, and stiffly uprised tail. Bison can charge at speeds of up to 30 mph. Both male and female bison have massive heads, which are not only equipped with leatal horns, but are also effective as battering rams. As if this arsonal was not enough, a bisons hind legs can also be used to kill or maim any animal perceived to be a threat. Grizzly bears and cougers were once formidable foes, but are now relativly uncommon in areas the bison dwell today. Young old or sick bison may still be prayed upon by wolves however." "Bison at rest may be seen rolling and wollowing. Wallows created by bison are shallow, dust-filled depressions and were once a common feature of the plains were bison roamed in large numbers." ARCTIC WOLF [3.4.5] ======================= "The Arctic wolf is a subspecies of the grey wolf. Arctic wolves have white coats, which are thicker than the coats of southern wolves. Their ears are smaller and more rounded, their muzzzles are slightly shorter, and their legs are noticably shorter. They are also heavier in build, with a full-grown male weighting as much as 175 pounds." "Arctic wolves live on the islands of the Canadian arctic, and on the northern coast of Greenland, roughly north of 70(=degrees=) North latitude. They inhabit a harsh world comprised of tundra, glacier valleys, and ice fields. The ground in these regions is permanently frozen. Arctic wolves are able to endure temperatures as low as -70(=degrees=) F. Due to its isolation the arctic wolf is the purest of all wolf breeds." "As the terrain of arctic wolves is both inhospitable and inaccessible, little is known about their behavior in the wild, esspecially during the long, dark, winter months. Even the vast majority of Inuit live, live further south than the arctic wolf. Research conducted duringing the summer indicates that much of the Arctic Wolve's behavior is the same as that of its southern cousin. Pack solidarity among Arctic wolves seems greater, probably due to the fact that the lone wolf, is unlikely to survive in this environment. In the wild the Arctic wolf generally lives about seven years, whereas in captivity, it can live over 17 years." "Arctic wolves will eat any animal that they catch: from voles, lemmings, hares and birds to caribou and musk oxen. When seeking larger prey, they must hunt togeather in packs, as coribou and musk oxen are too powerful for any one wolf to bring down alone. Since there is little cover in the region, the wolves must approach an alerted herd that has already formed a defensive circle, with the calves in the centre. The wolf pack circles the herd, trying to force it to scatter so that the wolves can isolate the young or weak members. A single musk ox will provide the wolves with enough food for several days. Arctic wolves consume every part of their prey, including the skin, fur, and bones." "Wolves usually live in small packs or family groups of seven to ten individual members, consisting of a breeding pair, their cubs and their offspring. The two dominant wolves are the alpha male and female, and other pack members defer to them. Wolves communicate through postures and expressions as well as with growls, houls, whimpers, whines and barks. A single subtle body movement can express volumes. A wolf will flatten its ears against the side of its head when afraid, and bare its teeth when angry. Subordination is shown by lowering body and tail, or by rolling on the back. A playful wolf will dance around and lower the front part of the body, leaving the back raised." "After mating in March, the pregnant female to a den in which to give birth. The cubs are born, deaf, blind and helpless. They are totally dependant on their mother, and she in turn relies on her mate to bring her food. All the adults in the pack corperate in feeding and caring for the cubs. By the following year they may be ready to leave the pack." "The arctic wolf is the only subspecies of the wolf, that not only not threatened, but is still found throughout whole of its historical region. Their habitat has served to protect them from the human threat that has brought other wolf populations so close to extinction." BENGAL TIGER [3.4.6] ====================== "Bengal Tigers make their home in the tropical jungles and tall grasslands of Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Bhutan and Burma. The male Bengal Tiger can grow up to ten feet in lenght, from its head to the end of its tail, with a shoulder width of up to three feet. Although very large (weighing up to 575 pounds), the Bengal Tiger is not the largest tiger; its cousin, the Siberian Tiger is the world's largest cat. When a Bengal Tiger roars, you can hear it almost two miles away." "All tigers are considered endangered. Ten years ago, there was eight sub- species of the tiger, and now there only five. The other sub-species of tigers, in addition to the Bengal are, Siberian, South China, Indochinese and Sumatran. Humans are the tigers principal enemy. Tiger are hunted for sport, fur, and for use in traditional Chiniese Medicine. Tigers may also be attacked by hyenas, leoapards, phytons and even other tigers. It is estimated that there are less than 3,000 Bengal Tigers left in the wild." "Bengal Tigers are solitary and do not want to share there hunting grounds, male hunting ranges are about 20 square miles;females require about 17 square miles. The male and female only come togeather during the mating, when sharing a kill or when sharing the same watering hole. In captivity, these animals prefer larger exibits. Tiger litters range from 1 to 6 cubs, which stay with their mother until their second year. Tigers reproduce well in captivity." "Bengal Tigers pray on wild oxen (gaur), buffelo, wild boar, deer and monkeys. Although a Bengal Tiger is capable of killing a bull gaur more than twice its size, it prefers to attack younger or older animals that are easier to take down. Bengal Tigers are voracious eaters, and eat 65 pounds of meat each night, or the yearly equivilent of 30 buffalos. Zoos generally feed their tigers some kind of meet (e.g. chicken, beef or horse) and bones, often accompinied by a commercial brand of special feline diet." "Bengal tigers prefer areas of dense thickets, long grass and shrubs near river banks. They will often be found in areas around old ruins, which provide shelter for cubs. The tigers stiff whiskers, enable it to move through thick cover in the dark. If the whiskers fit the whole body can follow. They have white ear spots, which may help mothers and cubs to keep track of each other when traveling through the dim tropical forests. Tigers will take advantage of human-made trails and roads." "Although not very good at climbing, the Bengal tiger is a good swimmer, and can commonly be seen wading in pools to cool off. They are slow runners but are very skilled at stealthy stalking of pray, which they mostly hunt at night." "In captivity, tigers tend to be lazy beasts, spending the majority of there time lounging in the sun. Tigers tend to get loud when they are angry. ============================================================================== SECTION | 10 | | H E L P | ============================================================================== ============ [ Contents ] ============ 10.1 | Tips 10.2 | Cheats 10.3 | Futher Resources 10.4 | Faults/Patchs =============== [ 10.1 | Tips ] =============== [1] A common mistake is to corner off one area for food, entertainment etc., but dispite all logical thinking, this should NOT be done, of course one large area for food etc., in the heart of the zoo is a good idea, but you should have several more smaller ones around the park. This will make sure you get as much money in as possible. Of course it's a good idea to have venders across the zoo aswell. [2] A smart finacial move is; after about 2 years, spend 1 month going around all the exibits and selling up to 3/4 of all the animals inside. This pracitce will make sure exibits do not become overcrowded. It will also (hopefully) net you several thousend dollers. [3] A clever way of making sure you get as much from your zookeepers as possible is to assign each to 4 exibits, add or take 1 depending on their size. ================= [ 10.2 | Cheats ] ================= Additional Money ================== This requires you to do some file editing, but it's very easy. Open the zoo.ini in your Zoo Tycoon directory with notepad or a similar text editor. Find the line that says ''MSMaxCash''. Change the figure next to it to whatever you want. This will change the maximum amount of money you can choose from when you start a zoo in the sandbox mode, for example Additional Money (2nd Method) =============================== Press Shift+4 (basically like typing the $), and you'll get an instant $10,000.
