I'm 40+ game years in and it hasn't snowed yet (weather)

[K Raiden]

I just recently discovered about snow but I've never had any snow. Is this a setting or am I doing something wrong? I am in franchise mode.

My zoo "environment" is Tropical - Asia if that matters

It doesn't snow in the tropical regions of the game.

You want snow in the Tropics? It doesn't snow in the Tropical Biome.

OP states he's playing tropical Asia and wonders why it hasn't snowed on his map....wow, just wow.

Is this person for real ??? Wanting and expecting snow in a tropical region ?? LMAO

Well I just remembered the biome because it seems pretty irrelevant elsewhere

The biome matters with a lot. Add some polar bears, the cost of keeping the exhibit cold is huge. Just as if the biome is a cold biome, it costs a lot to heat for lions. I would suggest not discounting the importance of the biome you are playing in.

Yeppers ..

I have cold biomes for my breeding and welfare of cold weather animals, similarly hot biomes for those types of animals. For an all in one zoo I would go with grassland which means heat and cold may be a little cheaper if you set the coolers/heaters correctly and the main temp is near adequate.


So a possible decision set up:

Biomes:
Tundra - cold animals
Taiga - cold/normal animals
Grassland - cold/normal/hot animals
Desert - cold/normal/hot animals
Temperate - normal/hot animals
Tropics - hot animals

Continents:
Africa - hot
Asia - cold/normal/hot
Europe - cold/normal/hot
North America - cold/normal/hot
South America - cold/normal/ hot
Antartica - cold
