Zoo keepers won't feed

[Toonen1988]

I had this issue with the beta and i thought they would fix this issue with the full release, but they didn't.

My animals are dying because the zoo keepers won't feed. The zoo keepers are happy, doesn't have any work stress, energy is full and yet they just stand there. I also build buildings for them, and everything.

I also made work spaces, 2 zoo keepers and 1 mechanic per habitat. And yet, they don't do ANYTHING, they just stand there.

They just keep standing like this!

I didn't build anything crazy.

I have the same problem, just like before in beta.

When you say work spaces, do you mean work zones? I had a habitat that wasn't being fed, even when I explicitly called for a keeper to attend to it, until I associated them with a work zone that included that habitat and the related staffing building.

Yeah, i ment to say work zones!

I have 2 zoo keepers and 1 mechanic per habitat, with a staff building with electricity.

Yeah i'm a bit surprised that this bug wasn't addressed and even worse now that food enrichment items are REQUIRED.
Honestly wish we didn't have to bother with the whole work zone thing if we didn't want to as it just complicates things and makes an otherwise relaxing game frustrating at times.

i have nobody scheduled to any work zones (unlike in beta where you had to do it) and everybody is always fed and watered.

I am refunding, the Sandbox mode was why I bought the deluxe version to play a Komodo exhibt and snakes........I cannot change the Humidity, only temp and the animals are VERY stressed.

How do you allow an animal to be dropped into a premade mini exhibit and NOT make the exhibit the right temp automatically?

That would be as bad as dropping a salt water fish into a fresh water tank and then having the controls to adjust.........as the fish expires......

Have you tried scrolling down in the window? Humidity should be right under temperature.

Ha, I did this during beta, I didn't scroll down. I went crazy researching everything thinking I had to research it then I went back thinking, "No way do I have to research THIS much just to get humidity control!" realized I could scroll down and....oops lol

[Trentscousin]

The interface should not hide the controls, the screen is not that large, and even if that is true........when I play in Sandbox mode and I put down a mini premade exhibit, and I pick a death adder to put in it..........I should NOT have to fiddle with heating/humidity.

My zoo keepers also won't feed or water my animals, even when work zones are correctly assigned. The game looks really cool, but this is a really big issue since we can't feed manually...

My Keepers won't feed either, after associating them with a work zone and firing/rehiring.

wasted 200 points in Franchise mode :/ the first time I couldn't figure out what was going wrong so I restarted and deleted it cause it was doomed, the second time I realized that the keepers were just standing in front of the staff lounge and even when I requested them to a habitat it just left it as "keeper requested" and they stood there "idling"

probably will just keep doing some of the campaign missions as its not as important there but a really big bummer I can't hop into Franchise and role with the punches.

[Trentscousin]

I refunded it, I will follow it and see how it goes...

and not at all ironically, RDR2 won't launch for PC.....

I found out something strange, my workzones keep resetting! I made a few workzones but they are empty after a while. It automatically deselect the zone + the workers. Only the name of the zone stays but everything else keep resetting.

That's the whole reason why my zoo keepers are idling. They just don't know what to do, because the system keep messing up my work zones. It happened now 3 times after eachother.

I had 2 workzones, with 2 zookepers + mechanic. and suddenly it said 0 employees in workzone and when i clicked on it, it also deselect the zone.

Have you tried moving the hut back a little. Just so it gets its own path
