200 evil points
So I'm trying to get to the 200 evil points after doing all the achievements towards the 200 good and I'm stuck on the pollution. I have like 0.02 percent left to full pollution points. I have no trees, lots of busses, lots of furnaces and trash bins and took off all the methane converters but my utility list is still showing methane being converted to fuel? What am I missing!?

There will be a tree somewhere. Unlocked this the other day, was at 199.92 or something, had plenty of buses, polluting things, don't think it's possible to get this close without having everything maxed - think trees get subtracted from pollution score last.

Check for small trees everywhere, trees in pens, trees behind food stalls, it'll probably be 1 single tree.

BTW, if you've not unlocked good points, they're slightly easier - i hit 215 good points with fuel left in the tank for more optimizing

But the trees do CO2 conversion, from what I can tell there's something somewhere converting methane to fuel and I had deleted all the water pumps and replace them with non upgraded ones but I'm still seeing methan being converted somewhere.

The tree thing mentioned above is definitely something to look at, especially when your zoo is full of things, they can be hiding behind your buildings as well, and might even be hiding and being underlapped underneath stuff too!

Edit: Finally got it. There was a lotus flower hiding in one of my ponds. After deleting, it ticked over to 200 points. I thought it was just trees that affected the rating.

I am at 199.99 evil, .01 away from 200 evil points and have scoured my zoo for any tree what-so-ever, there's absolutely none. I just went through and deleted every business and enclosure, still sitting at .01.

Do any types of flowers or bushes count toward carbon absorption?

If there isn't already that I am not aware of, can there be a way to see where there are trees on the map? I again scorched earthy my zoo til there were only evil factories left (where I planted no trees at all) and I still have .01 evil left to go. I even bought 2500 busses.

I was going to delete all the factories next just because, but then my game crashed.

Hi ! I'm doing the 200 evil points after doing all the achievements towards the 200 good too but I don't know how to decrease the released animals number. How did you do that?:ttpenny:

Selling my excess animals on the black market and, sadly, euthanizing them as well (I felt this helped to get protesters into my park for bribe points.)

As well as lots of patience. It takes A LOT of time for it to go down. At first I thought it wouldn't go down at all and I was missing some game mechanic, lol.

Pesky is a very nice way to say it! I essentially rebuilt the entire zoo twice before I found it!! :winter2019joyfultearssnowman:

Hi do you know if it decrease when you killed more animals than you released ? I've already sell/kill many of them and still nothing... I also tought that I missed something

It does, it just takes a really, really long time to see it make a difference. I should have tracked how long, but it was a LONG LONG time. But once it starts going down, it'll go faster than it took to start. If that makes sense.

So don't give up, just keep at it!
