The tortoises are cheap, live long, and food costs are low. My thinking of this whole first step was:ġ. Next, I went to the (now-gone) island and built a snow leopard exhibit. I intended to spend 20k of my 40 so that I could have 20, just in the bank, in case upkeep costs surpassed income but you won't have to since you have 80k (not bitter at all)
I knew they changed the scenarios a bit with this new update but I wasn't aware of this.Īnyway, I started with a tortoise habitat and some vendor shops with plans of going across that creak thing with a walk-through peacock exhibit. They got rid of the island thing and decreased the width of the river You start with 80k which when I did it I had 40k.Ģ. Note: As I am writing this, (Dec 1st, 2019), I am loading up the scenario again to figure out how much money you start with and all.

The first thing I do after loading in a new career level and hearing the dialogue is pause the game, tour the zoo, and acquaint myself with my objectives from Bronze to Gold. I am credible though as I have gotten bronze, silver, and gold on every scenario with the achievement to prove it: I had one scenario where I was 50,000$ in debt before I decided to give up however I did have one zoo where it was 30,000$ in debt and I managed to get it out of that hole. My biggest weakness with these scenarios was that I was too ambitious and impatient for my budget most of the time and I refuse to give up on a zoo. I will also mention and go back to what I did wrong in these scenarios so as to help you. So I may offer solutions that the game probably didn't intend for you to do. What I mean is that I am eager to take shortcuts and maybe cheat the game. My philosophy with these scenarios aren't that honest I guess.
