My Zoo Experiences,tips and achievement levels

Second change Treat feeders

2010-07-10T12:29:00.000-04:00

I bought the treat collector and treat feeders today. They are called Candyman and Cupid one collects the treats and one feeds them. I like them allot and if I had a smaller zoo this would be great. They worked well and greatly reduced my harvest times.. Here are my ???

How do I get more juice boxes ? The ones I got did not feed all the animals in my zoo. Do they build up over time or do I buy them.
Can we have these Juice boxes included in the unlimited gifts ?

New Changes what do you think ?

2010-07-10T12:23:00.000-04:00

One of the latest changes is the end of the zoo day concept. We now earn money based on the attendance at our gates. The way this works is that you click on the money bag over the gate. Here are my concerns

It seems I am making less money this way than by letting my zoo run. With the number of animals out there and the pace they release them I will be broke soon. Judging on whats happenning so far I would say my income has been cut by at least 40%
This turns one more element of the game into a click and harvest thing. At least in the farm games I can plant four day crops and takle a break. The zoo is getting to the point where its all work and no fun.
I wish they add a way to sell off stuff I dont want to buy new animals.
As everything becomes "click" to harvest Ill need a new mouse soon.

Updates

2010-07-04T22:38:00.000-04:00

Is the achievement list still used in the game at all ?
I cant find a list so cant verify it.
Are there any players under level 43 still using it ?

Would a list of breedable animals by time be more usefull at this point ?

Also it seems that we dont have difficulty levels for breeding anymore.

Thanks MJJ

Id like to thank Sondra Dangler who sent me an e-mail on the gates blocking in animals. If you look close below you can see what she is talking about that lil pink blob is my Easter Bunny to feed it I have to zoom way in. So you may want to move your animals away from the gates before they upgrade. The game wont always move them to your storage.

I would add that this ca happenn behing greenhouses and acstles as well but you can move them and fix it. The gates are kinda permanent.

To be honest the game for me has slipped back into just feeding treats. So if you have any tips like this feel free to post them here.

Update - Breedable animals

2010-04-06T13:51:00.000-04:00

The breeding has changed into a more graphical interface. Ive only noticed two really significant changes.

1: You can only apply growth formula when your are first breeding an animal.

2: You cant view the animals unless you have an open nest. This makes it hard to plan. The new interface gives you all the info in a nice organized way but you cant see it all the time. I updated both lists of breedable animals one is sorted by time the other by diffivculty level.

Update on Experince levels

2010-04-06T13:42:00.000-04:00

The developpers have released new levels above 43. In order to level up you need experience points. You get experince points by feeding treats to your animals. I did a quick article on this its at

http://www.bukisa.com/articles/270833_zoo-world-tips-feeding-treats-which-is-best-

Im not really sure about this system but Im giving it a try because the developers have done a good job with the game over time. My concerns over Wl points have been answered ect so Ill try this one for awhile.

My real concern is that the game will become another click and dont think exercise.

Im curious how these changes have affected the players below level 43.
It looks like the numbers on the levels have disappeared but the tasks still show up.
Cane you do the achievements and feed treats at the same time ?

Updated Chart

2010-03-12T17:36:00.000-05:00

I posted an updated chart

The glitch with training still exists however the number of species on level 33 and 38 have changed again :-)
I have confirmation on level 33 from 2 sources.

Sorry for the delays on updating the blog; Ill try to do better in the future

Zoo Trophies

2010-03-12T17:09:00.000-05:00

The long awaited Zoo Trophies were finally released
It looks like the trophies follow the breeding levels as far as the metal, Gold Adamtium ect
Here are the ones I have so far , I will list the trophy, the number of things done to get it and the number of WL points recieved for it. For many of these I dont know what I got because They just update without telling you. If you can fill in any blanks please post.

Reload every Seems Unstable

2010-03-12T16:51:00.000-05:00

I apologize for the late reply to this one. I have been playing with the Reload every command in Firefox. For months this would allow the zoo to keep going without haveing to hit the restart now buttoon.

Unfortunately this is not stable at the moment. I am still experimenting with this but havent found any pattern yet. My only conclusion at this point is that it still works when it wants to. I cant tie the issue to any application or period of time.

Hopefully as Face book setlles down this will work again

Tip on a News group for the gropup

2010-03-12T16:41:00.000-05:00

http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#!/group.php?gid=259459053654&ref=ts

This is a very well run group that will keep you up to date on the game and all the changes.
Ive enjoyed the newsletters allot.

Achievement Level change

2010-02-23T00:17:00.000-05:00

The levels for training animals has changed - Im guessing we have another change coming up because 2 levels are the same.

Here are the changes

Level        # now        Was
41                 6             12
40                 5              10
38                 5                8
34                 4                6
30                 3                4
19                  2               3
11 is still train 1

Rememeber you can train falcons
I will update the chart after it settles in I think 38 or 40 will change very soon

Thanks

Update

2010-02-16T15:02:00.000-05:00

Well my zoo is coming along nicely just a few updates.

Thanks to the breeding I have a wl points tree now.

It looks like they will be adding new achievement levels.

And Im breeding marmots as fast as possible.

New Levels coming

2010-02-09T22:20:00.000-05:00

Today they recognized level 43 and my level changed to this

If new levels come up I will update the list

open more breeding cages

2010-02-03T12:40:00.000-05:00

Based on the number of zoomates you have you can get additional breeding cages..

I can now breed five animals and am collecting zoomates as fast as I can.

When it cuts me off I will post what the limit is.

Look at your breeing and you may find one open.

Updated chart achievement levels

2010-01-27T14:20:00.002-05:00

As it turns out the list of tasks is updating on in my game even though Ive finished the achievements.

The changes are in the list above I included the values That they had when I went thru in ().

Some went up and some went down. Overall it seems fair to me as there are many more animals available early in the game now; and of course you have feed animals.

If you see any errors please let me know.

2010-01-18T15:19:00.005-05:00

Ok I have heard from several folks that they are losing park visitors and Zoo dollars.

Does anyone know what is causing this

Thanks In Advance

List of articles for Zoo Worls

2010-01-03T12:53:00.000-05:00

Here is a list of articles I have out there for the zoo game.

This one deals with trading unlimited animals and has a list of all the ones I have so far.

This covers the achievements and some tips for the ones been thru.

http://www.bukisa.com/articles/192149_my-zoo-tips-achievments-list-and-tips

This is as close as I get to cheat – it will keep the game running for hours without resetting

http://www.bukisa.com/articles/209057_my-zoo-tips-never-hit-the-restart-zoo-day-button-again-keep-my-zoo-running

How many of what did I have when I finished up Here is a list

http://www.bukisa.com/articles/219386_zoo-world-tips-my-stats-when-i-finished-all-the-achievements

Major mistake - stuck in the game no more WL points.

2010-01-01T15:54:00.000-05:00

Ok what I did was spend some wildlife points.

Now that there are no more achievements left; I cant get any more wildlife points without spending money.

There are over 100 achievements - what I wish I would have done is buy a tree that produces wildlife points. That way I would be able to at least get one a day.

Im debating spending some $$ to get a tree now.

Pot Bellied Pigs

2009-12-26T21:38:00.000-05:00

Just learned this tonite If you access the game thru horoscopes you can gift pot bellied pigs. Dpesnt work every time but I sent 4 tonite

http://apps.facebook.com/horoscopes/zoo/giftAnimals2.php?goto=http%3A%2F%2Fapps.facebook.com%2Fhoroscopes%2Fzoo%2Fhome.php%3F%26newInstalledUser%3D1&_fb_q=1

Finished the Game

2009-12-25T02:29:00.000-05:00

First Merry Christmas to all. Tonite I completed Level 42 and there were no more achievements. When you finish there is no drama or prize you just see any new achievements. I was kinda hoping for a prize of some sort, but nothing happenned.

Here is what my zoo stats were when I finished.

2504 Animals ( 390 Uncommon,232 rare, 11 ultra Rare)
139 Species (120 uncommon,41 Rare, 10 Ultra Rare)
12 of 12 tricks Learned
w/ ticket price at $1 it generates 10,502 Visitors or dollars in a zoo day.
w/ ticket price at 16 it has 7766 visitors and makes $ 124,256 in a zoo day.
The zoo is worth 464,856 mill
and I have
234 Kiosk managers
300 Maint Managers (please note this changed when I was mid way thru you shouldnt need this many.)
56 Vets
15 parking lots
55 restrooms (I think I have 9 more than needed)

I think I will take a break for a few days and just answer gifts. I am kicking around giving the whole zoo away and starting over not sure what Ill do next. I will thank everyone who gave me tips and hints along the way.

Level 42 Save more $$$

2009-12-19T22:25:00.000-05:00

Moved up to Level 42 and the want 150,000,000 million. If I new this was coming I wouldnt have spent any :-).
The other tasks are get 10,500 visitors in one zoo day and Buy a total of 100 big trees

It does feel good to have the animals trained.

On to level 41

2009-12-18T02:45:00.001-05:00

I finished level 40 tonite by saving 125 million then promptly spent 85 million on upgrades and a few animals and kiosks.

The cage upgrades are outrageous especially since we seem to have allot of aniamls getting lost and showing up on everyones wall :-)

Currently I'm wrapping up the training dont have too much farther to go but it will take awhile.

Here are the level 41 achievements:

- Get 9700 visitors
- Train your animals tod 12 tricks
- Get some entertainment - 7 of each Safari Show, Fish Feeding, Hot Air Baloon, Helicopter Ride.
- Artic Adventure - 8 of Each Emporer Penguin, Polar Bear, Artic Fox.

It looks like a few species became available when I levelled up. I dont know if its because I levelled up or if was just random.

Help Forum

2009-12-15T21:05:00.001-05:00

For those of you missing the Help forum in Zoo Worl feel free to post in this thread. I will check it twice a day and hopefully others will answetr thw questions as well.

12/15 Update

2009-12-15T15:27:00.001-05:00

Im saving for the 125 million and training my eagle and swift along the way.

It would seem that the best tip is to start raining early, its expensive and time consuming. Best to get it over with.
