Animals can't climb trees
Hello,

I have a problem that animals can't climb trees.
It's definitely recognized as a climbable area.
Animals that can climb trees, they come near trees, and they can't climb and stop there.
They still can climb other structures ( climbable frames, wall and etc.)
please kindly tell me how to fix this bug( animals can't climb tree)

Thank you

Try moving the tree slightly? It might make the game recalculate.

You mean the heat map shows it as climbable?

Note that some trees are not climbable. In the heat map for traversable area climbing objects will have green lines that indicate the climbing path on them.

Really thank you for answering questions. I havent known that some trees havr green lines and I can check those lines in the heatmap. But sadly it still doesnt work. Even I placed trees that have green lines, still animals dont climb trees.

in the filters list when buying trees to place, there is a filter for "climbable" under the "Properties" section of filters, that you can use so that it only shows you the trees which can be climbed (the ones with the green lines).
This filter is also available in other categories so you can use it search specifically in the construction pieces for things there that can be climbed, or in the Habitat section to see only climbable pieces, etc.

This doesn't help you with your problem that animals are not climbing even the trees that they should be able to, but at least it can help you to find the trees which can be climbed ahead of time in the future.

What animals are you wanting to climb trees?

Same question. I noticed (and a good thing on Madagascar map) that the lemurs and orangutans didn't climb trees, but the others did. My formosa bears went up the tree as soon as they were unboxed.

I started a new zoo yesterday and I'm actually seeing the same thing. My first habitat included Red Pandas and my second one included Sun Bears and BInturongs. I have yet to see any of them actually climb.
The Sun Bears are always too busy swimming with the otters that they share the habitat with....but I'd have expected to see the binturongs and pandas climbing at least once in a while.

There is an issue where restarting a zoo will cause some habitats to need resetting. Some might be seeing this and the fix is to move any climbable object in the zoo.

Within the few years I've had Planet Zoo, I'll tell you that trees aren't recognised ever as a climbable surface. Primates, I cannot speak on that part, cats and others I can. Basically if you want them to climb a "tree" you'll have to make some out of climbable logs/branches, however that does funky stuff to the floor detection (like climbing at 90 degrees).
Trust me, you'll never see anything climb a boabab or ombu tree. There's nothing to solve for that, it just is what it is.

There are indeed climbable trees in the game. There are also non climbable trees. When placing trees in a habitat, set the filters in the nature menu to show climbable objects and all that are will be there.

@IdleFire Guardian, there are climbable trees...there's a screenshot 4 posts above yours showing an animal climbing in a tree. It is entirely false to say that "trees are not recognized as climbable."
It depends on the tree, some are and some are not, which is where the filter I mentioned earlier in the thread can help....the two tree types you mentioned are not climbable and wouldn't show up if you filtered the trees by the climbable tag.

Just to test, yes you are right about the sun bear however that is basically an exception, Never seen red pandas do it, lemurs, binturongs, cats, or vise versa.
