Your animal aging setting?

[Barser]

So I havn't played for a year, but I see that you can adjust how fast animals age now which is great.

Just curious what settings you guys use?

I was thinking that keeping it at 2 or something at the start of a zoo, and then max it out when the zoo is big. But I havn't tried the setting out yet.

Cheers

I'm still on the standard setting 1, most animal related stuff is done in a few seconds and I don't usually have a lot of fast breeders in my zoos. If there's ever too much to do I just pause the game.

I do have some fast breeders but I do the same as you Hlaine
I pause and sort out issues then carry on. (I always pause while building as that is when the Zoo can run out of control if my attention is focused on building a new habitat or landscaping etc)

If I'm doing a lot of building and zoo expansion I'll put the animal aging to 5x so I am not bothered with notifications of alpha fighting or possible risks of inbreeding.

Otherwise I'll leave it on normal or put it on 2-2.5x slower, to have a more relaxing animal management in my zoo. Plus that way I can see the baby animals for longer (so cute :3)

I run most of mine on 1 (but with heavy pauses).

I have two exceptions to this. One is a zoo which is basically a storage zoo for breeding (ie. an extended trade center for when I get over 50), and that zoo I run on 5x slower.... because I would prefer to have all the animals in the trade center with no aging at all, but have just run out of space.

The second exception is if I am building a dedicated zoo for an upcoming community challenge that involves breeding. In that case, I will sometimes run it at 5x slower prior to the start of the challenge, since I need to have animals in to make money to create the zoo to begin with. But then once the challenge actually begins I raise it back up to level 1.

Thank you all. I found that I actually enjoy the game the most on the slowest setting. It seems about right for me (maybe I am a bit slow). But then again my zoo is quite big.

I just keep it on 3 the whole time. I also pause the game a lot, I'm not in any rush.

Mostly 2-3 times the normal aging. I rarely use 1 and I definitely don't use 5. the only franchise zoo I'm using 1 on is a breeding zoo for CC - obviously want those to age up as quickly as possible.

Sandbox I always turn aging off, I like to relax when I'm playing sandbox and not worry about death.
