"Invalid Destination"

[Runic]

Hey y'all.
I've just started a new zoo, and my very first exhibit is continuously saying "invalid destination" or "no path to destination". Theres a path from both my habitat gate and my trade center. I even build another exhibit to see if it was the first one giving me weird problems.
-Theres power to the gates
-I have caretakers to move the animals
-I have the proper pathing

What do I do :(

I assume when you say "exhibit" what you mean is "Habitat" seeing as you mention gates.

Last time this happened to me my trade center path connection was not actually there even though it sure looked like it was. Redo that and see if that solves the problem.

That message also happens if you don't have caretakers, but you said you did so...it's not that.

Edit: also if you relied on the automatic path connections created when you place a gate, try deleting the path and then making it manually. I've had it happen where the automatic path made fails to work.

Also, if someone replies about work zones and asks if the habitat and trade center are in the same work zone as the caretaker, ignore them. Caretakers do not need to be in workzones with habitats or the trade center, they still will do the transport task.

It has happened to me a few times when moving animals from the trade center to a habitat. All I have had to do was select another animal, but don't do anything with it, then go back to the one I originally wanted and I could move it then.

If I know all the paths are correct, I usually exit to the menu and reload the zoo. That generally fixes it for me.

I unpaused the game and that does it for me. Then i can put the animals in.

I have had this error in zoos that are using a lot of my computer's capacity. If it's a new area the game may still be pathing for staff members. Usually I just have to try again. Sometimes they drop them outside the trade center in the box too.
