Cant add animals to habitats

[myarip]

Game wont let me add any animals to any habitats, saying there is no path connected when there clearly is, ive tried in sandbox and franchise and the same thing happens, i cant play the game

Have you deleted the auto path to the habitat and drawn your own?
Are your vets/caretakers in work zones and if so do the zones include the trade center and habitats? Is the path system to the trade center valid? Is deliver animals checked on the staffs' tabs?

[myarip]

ive drawn my own, no work zones have been assigned yet, path system is valid, not sure what you mean by deliver animals checked on the staff tabs means???

I get this error sometimes when my zoo is large. Game hasn't mapped the available path yet. Sometimes the path is just glitched like Varick said and it has to be deleted and rebuilt from the gate.

The staff have individual duties listed on their own information tabs- you can check and uncheck these to get dedicated researchers, etc. The default has deliver animals checked so that would not be the problem. If you haven't tried it, drop a vet/caretaker into a habitat and see if they can get to the main path. Also, if you are using a grid path, sometimes it looks connected to a door but is not. Draw a free form from the grid path to the door of the trade center if you used the grid path. And going to assume that the habitats have power. Something should work. If still not working, fire the vets and caretakers and hire new; that sometimes works for people.

Yes this is happened to me as well, must be a bug, u have to really try and move/delete to make it fit. Then I have to click maybe” 3-4 times where u want to drop the animal at even if it says there no path connected. It worked for me.

oh you just need to put them into the trade centre and then do it again, it works for me

[WallofCorn]

i did that emoji because it is easy

The basics...
Habitat must be fully enclosed.
Path must be attached.
A caretaker or vet needs to be free.

I encountered this issue when I built the entire habitat and path when the game was paused. So if you've also done that, try resuming the game for a few seconds and try again. Worked for me.

Yes this works for me too.
