Can't put animals in habitat
I put great effort into creating a nice habitat for my pair of king tigers, but the keepers/doctors won't put them into it. The paths are fine, the barriers too. They are in my trade centre and there's nothing more I can do...
Is anyone out there with a solution?

IF you can, post a top down ( zoom out a fair bit and point down) screenshot of the park, showing the enclosure you want to placed into, and the trading centre please

Did you place a staff entrance? This is what happend to me, that's why I'm asking ... :steamsad:

Do you have caretakers, they are the ones who place the animals into the enclosure I believe.

1.) is the enclosure, where I want to put the tigers.
2.) is my staff centre (and, yes, of course I have caretakers. Two of them actually :) )

Maybe the drop off area near the gate is unsuitable for the placing of the boxes, as in the graphic of the box opening would conflict with the rock wall next to the gate.

Try removing the rock wall above the door and placing a straight piece of plain barrier.

You seem to have elevated edges to the habitat - is there a way for the caretaker to go inside the habitat and drop the box, or is it a "doozy first step" situation?

@Dragster
Nope, I removed the rocks and placed the gate to the north, no result.

@jmvbento
Technician, doctor and caretakers are able to enter the habitat, checking the barriers and so on... They are simply not responding to the order to transfer the animals from the trade centre to the enclosure.

As it's only the caretakers who move animals, have you checked their workzones and tasks to make sure they are still set to transport animals and that they have access to the trade centre.

Just in case anything has unticked itself.

Vets also move animals

Do they also move them from the trade centre? I always thought it was just the caretakers that did that.

Everything seems as it should be.

Yup, I don't hire caretakers until I have something that produces litter, like a shop

Have you tried the heat map, show animal accessible area, is the drop off point in an accessible area.

Gotta admit, i'm clutching at straws now for a solution.

Thanks, I always thought I needed caretakers from the start and employed two straight off.

For me, I was having that issue if I assigned my caretaker or vet to a certain work zone. If you have work zones assigned, take a look at that and try removing any work zones and see if that fixes the issue.
