How to enable grid on laptop?

[stayseax]

do you know how to get an aerial view of the zoo, nothing seems to be working for me? I am playing on Legion Go and I am not sure if that's why.

[Crilat]

What's copy selected group?

[Sorrelfox]

@baind307 Sounds like you accidentally disabled the HUD. Pressing G should fix it!

[baind307]

Also might I add that this list is amazing!

[baind307]

May i ask why did all my buttons go away on my screen, like every button just disappeared and i don't know how to get them back. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to get everything back so i may continue this wonderful game!

[Benchwarmer]

Sadly this game doesn't have an option to invert the default Y axis camera control in normal camera mode. Epic fail. All other management games have that option, even Planet Coaster.

This is great, thank you. One question why does my mouse pointer disappear then I can't control the turning etc., Is there a setting I have missed?

[wstelzer15]

Does the pause simulaition work with animal and exibit trading too?

Thank you for this list, It will certainly make things easier.
