Help Stuck vet
Does anyone know a 'cheat' code to delete or unstick a zoo vet?

My bonobo died and the vet tasked with removing the carcass decided to quit, but never left the enclosure. I hired new vets but none will remove the bonobo. I've fired and rehired him but still he wont leave or abandon his task so someone else can do it. The carcass itself isnt even degrading, so it wont rot away. I was clearing the enclosure ready for the new penguins but now I cant use it because its got a dead animal and a useless vet camping in it.

Is there any cheat codes to delete the vet and/or carcass?

You could try deleting the gate of the habitat, which should make the habitat no longer viable. If the vet disappears, you can put the gate back.

Thanks I've not tried that!

Good idea, but unfortunately it didn't work. The carcass and the vet still remained, the bonobos escaped, I boxed them but no vet will unbox them. I guess the stuck vet added that to his todo list as well :(

I read a trick for this that worked for someone else;
"I was able to fix all stucked employees so far by building a fresh staff-path right below their feet and connect it to another one"

Maybe you could try this. The dead carcass might disappear as well. If not, maybe reload your most current save.

It's a known bug that sometimes clears it's self and other is persistent.
Had it happen in one park that I never resolved. Had it in another where I wound up deleting the barriers and replacing to clear it. It seems to be that sometimes it is the vet stuck in an animation loop and other times it is the carcass is unreachable.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll try the staff path.
I've already tried deleting the barrier. I think its stuck in an animation, the carcass is easily accessible. I'm not a happy bunny because I've had that zoo running for over 120 (zoo) years! The next update should have the option to 'assassinate vet' Tropico style!

Seems update 1.6 has made this problem worse. I've seen several similar threads on Steam and on the Frontier forum. :(
