How to buy animals with $

[Fran]

So far ive only seen that animals are sold with the leaf credits, but not with $. Is it not possible to buy them with $?

[MajorTaison]

you can buy animals for cash just filter for it and w8 can take some time so be patient

[Tamika]

Cash animals are limited and not all species can be bought for cash. The cash listings get bought up fast so it can take awhile to find the animal you want for cash.

Just keep pressing refresh and they will keep popping up.

[NanoGrrl]

Yes, keep checking and pressing refresh. They don't come up that often and they go quick! Stopping to check zoopedia when I saw some, they went off sale while I was checking.

This is hilariously absurd.

I paid $45 to be told I can't spend imaginary money to buy imaginary animals... because other people are buying the imaginary animals.

Can't wait until leaf credits are sold for $$$.

[NanoGrrl]

Yeah, it is a little weird. I sure hope they don't make it an "in-game purchase." :(

You paid $45 to participate in a community driven market that makes up less than 1/3rd of the game.

So yeah, $15 to join in.... or not.

Is there a list of what animals are never sold for cash? I am trying to get elephants and giraffes, and it appears they are only sold for credits, and it's taking me forever to save those up.

just buy cheap animals for conservation credits and just farm them for credits by releasing offspring, save up for lions or other high tier animals and just farm those later

you'll have near infiinte credits then and infinte cash

Except you can. Its called challenge mode

[black_ruby]

Its really not that difficult. Just start with the basic stuff instead of Lions, than you can get a normal zoo without breeding that hard. I started with Nilwaran, sry dont know how too call it, and than go to an hole Afrikan with zebras and that stuff. It works really well like that

[Kroma]

Either way how you go about it, once you get past the grind, managing a small zoo gets super easy once you start breeding high tier animals and selling/release them. Like once you start geting the high tier animals cash wont ever be a problem unless you spend too much on employees. And credits vill just be a joke to get once you start breeding those animals. Its a shame how hard the start is when you dont know ♥♥♥♥, but likr planet coaster you can exploit certain features in early game and have enogj cash to buy africa

Never happening, devs stated as such and there is no reason to think frontier would go back on this. If you don't like other players buying animals before you maybe play the single player mode.

Actually, that's great--as is the advice about starting small and being patient. I mean, wow, there are a LOT of peafowl on the market! :^P I see why. :D

[Befitzero]

low tier animals sell for in game money, the bigger ones sell for conservation credits, the ones you are looking for that are't crazy high CC are the ones put out by Frontier Zoo. For animals like the gorillas the frontier zoo starts at a 1000 CC which is pretty easy to get just by releasing and breeding exhibit animals. Peafowl breed like crazy and I was able to relese them to get easy CC.
