Cleanliness

[FeralBaby]

I have two habitats that are constantly dirty and I cannot figure out how to fix it. I have seen the keepers clean them but the alert either goes away before shortly coming back or stays up. I am not sure if it is a layout issue or what. Any help?

having the same problem, tried fixing it by removing half of the population in the habitat (from 30 to 15 animals) worked for a while, but the problem just keeps comming back

I'm having a similar problem. It seems to happen in habitats that are prone to large populations (Flamingos, Peafowl, etc). I think I saw somewhere that you can try to move around some objects just in case they're covering poo that your keepers can't get to. I don't know if it will actually help, really. I hope something gets leveled out here.

Getting this a lot with wooden shelters. I move them and there is always poop under there.

Also if you made a little pond or river, the cleaners can't clean it, so check if there is poop in the water and if so remove the water so the cleaners can reach it.

This is a known problem with the wooden blueprints i believe. I removed the bottom part and the issue is gone

Here is how to easily full clean habitat.

> Box all animals (optional)
> Select everything in your habitat with multool and move it
> Remove any water
> Request a clean
> Wait for clean to be done (dont edit or add anything)
> Once done undo (ctrl + z) once if no water and twice if water.

Your habitat is now clean. Check where the poop was for inprovments

I have this problem as well, atm with Peafowls and Sable Antelopes as they have a bigger populations, as well. I've also noticed the same with the wooden shelters and I think I need to try removing the floor part, thanks for that tip!

Right now I don't know what is the problem, though, because I can't find poo under the shelters at all yet the cleanliness is at the risk of disease level all the time. I actually had to rebuild the antelope habitat so that it had no water in it anymore since can't alter the terrain in career mode, which did help for some time but now it's again back to disease level. And peafowls have no water areas. I have got rid of rotten food (or sometimes it smells I think but still says "grade 1" instead of rotten, but not sure if that's because I changed the habitat settings to grade 2 food...) and for example peafowls don't even have leftover food ever anyway.

I think I need to try out the advice in the latest post if nothing helps. But first I think I'll take a closer look at everything in their habitats and see if poo can somehow get under/inside of trees and other stuff. At least the keepers are doing their job just fine, I think, and they aren't too overworked either.

Thx a lot, worked for me with peafowls habitat!
It was just staying at 50% clean and i had a lot of deseases. Keepers came for clean and just open the door, looked, turn around, and went on a break:D. I think there was poop under my rest place..

Yeah the blue print habitats seems broken
