Shops problem

[joseph stormspear]

I am having trouble with shops i build one and shows i making no income and people visit the shop what can i do to fix this

[V0lcanF1re]

Yeah is will not be fixed even that a long time bug.. if even Frontier will patch the game.. no one knows.

Some things that can keep your shop from working:

Its too far from an attraction - Move it closer
The prices are too high - Lower the prices....2x-3x cost works well
You don't have the power to keep the shop open - Build another power station

How well your shops do is dependent on the rating of the attraction it serves. Build more dinos, put in more scenery or raise dino infamy to get the attraction rating up.

Yeah item price and number of staff matter greatly. I always just go with the highest priced item and then find the sweet spot that will get me the most money.

Screens might be helpful to pin point a possible reason and also check to make sure you actually have it powered, can't make money if it's not.

I posted It as known bug but not fixed from 2018.

I found this bug in my old picture library, uploaded it now to let you see:

powered up, 0 income, 0 guests and they walking inside...

Bonus: Zombie Dino confirmed

the bugs are around, some not fixed I not feel is a game breaker thing but some funny, some annoying.

time pass and another shop bugged and that gift shop worked well.

The people walking around on the paths aren't real guests. They are scenery. They 'walk' into any shop because it is better scenery. The business the shop does is dependent only on rating of the attractions it is near.

cool, that was near viewing platform of velociraptor pen, seems it's broken shop lol
still a bug.

funny & sad that the people are scenery in the game but is true indeed.
28k guests in the park maybe showing 10k as scenery on the paths.

[Nioell]

Yeah, the guests really kinda suck xD

Anyway, in case it is the same bug here as well, maybe verifying the files might work. Were you able to fix it, V0lcan?

Oh and was it the only shop in that area? Because if there are several the guests might walk in but decide they'd rather not buy anything there and go to the one across the street instead. I mean real people walk in and out of shops without buying anything all the time as well, so why not guests in dinosaur park games? ;P

[V0lcanF1re]

was more shops around the area, verifying doesn't fixing it, yeah good guests are funny ;)

[Nioell]

Ah, too bad. Is it just one shop, though, or all of them? 'Cause if it's really just one empty and another full, I think I'd go with the don't wanna buy anything excuse and wait until there are enough guests to fill all the shops. At least it makes it a little less stupid even if that wasn't the thought behind it xD

[V0lcanF1re]

its kind of RNG, as in my all dinos park I have 28k guests (visitors) many restrooms and shops, some full some empty, sometime is even change between them... lol

[Nioell]

Yeah, it's weird. I noticed that as well. One minute it's all burgers and toys and the next nothing but the most expansive steak and cocktail is good enough even though nothing else changes xD

I think if you delete enough shops they'll all be full at some point, but as long as you have more shops than the guests need they'll jump between them.
