Hippo problem on tutorial level (SOLVED)
Maybe I'm just the dumbest person ever, but I'm literally playing through the tutorial and the game seems to be having a meltdown I can't fix. I barely know how to play this game, and it keeps screaming at me that the hippos are dying of starvation. I've been fiddling with this for what feels like ages, but I can't seem to get the Keepers to do anything? Like, the say they can't get into the habitat. However, not only is the habitat pre-built (assuming they CAN get in, why wouldn't they be able to) but the door way is totally unblocked and connected to a path and everything. Again, this is on the tutorial, the hippo habitat is already pre-built, and they never told me how to make Keepers etc actually DO anything. I've been "calling" for a keeper for ages, but they won't come. There is someone assigned to the habitat, but they say they can't get in. I can't move the Keepers myself, I don't know how to get in there myself and feed/clean them, and I don't know how to just get them to do it themselves.
I can't even begin to express how stressed I have gotten only just starting this game. Please someone help me!! I've been a huge fan of Zoo Tycoon ever since I was a child and have been excited for this game for forever!

**I was able to fix the problem by loading up an old save. Nothing seemed to be wrong and the Keepers were able to get to the Hippos just fine. Must of been a weird bug.

Since discussions are being made so quickly for Planet Zoo, I hope it's okay I "bump" this one

I’m stuck on the bengal tiger portion of the tutorial. It’s telling me to make the wall height 3.70 and it all is, but isn’t recognizing that I’ve done it!! SOS

Same problem!! I don't know if it's do with using metres and the games rounding maybe? You can't change the height requirement for completion though, maybe need to restart and try feet.

For what it's worth that just fixed for me by itself when placing the gate a second time.

Hmm, I tried that but it’s still not showing anything different. Even when I deleted the gate, the little check mark was still there which is odd

I remember getting slightly stuck at that part too. However, once I looked closer, I noticed that the wall was not all the exact same height; and there was only one wall in the batch holding me back. So double check to make sure ALL of the walls are the right height. That's my only advice.

As a side note I still don't have answers for my problem...

I might just restart the whole tutorial because I feel like this is a glitch that was not suppose to happen..
