franchise mode is multiplayer

[grampers62]

Multiplayer is a bit of a misnomer. Players can interact with a franchise trade center where they may purchase animals that other players have placed for sale. Players may not visit other players zoo excepting for zoos that have been shared in the workshop. No coop play.

franchise mode is multiplayer

ah sorry, yes here more details:

1. your Animal Storage for habitat animals is across your zoos, so you can transfer animals from Zoo_A to Zoo_B. (but not exhibit animals)
   
2. CCs (Conservation Credits) are across your zoos. (but not $ reserves)
   
3. your research results are across your zoos.
   
4. as grampers62's already mentioned Animals Market is cross-player, but only for habitat animals.
   
5. no CCs for releasing exhibit aninmals.
   
6. every two weeks there is a Community Challenge with so-so rewards
   
7. a World Record for animals (meaningless and no benefits of any kind)
   
8. Franchise Achievements (breed / release / adopt / trade), but again: meaningless and no benefits of any kind
   
9. server-sided(*) connection problems during gameplay (but acceptable work-around) and entering franchise mode (sometimes multiple attempts are needed to log on to the server)

But because of the first 4 points, this mode is definitely worth playing imo, because they do NOT apply for single mode games

(*) How do I come to this conclusion 'server-sided'? Outside peak times, nearly no problems. 5 months ago, no problems at all.
