Hello everyone! I'll make sure to keep this short and sweet. Basically, for the past few months, I've been creating a game similar to that of @Den_S' "Theme Park Tycoon 2" - but as a Zoo, rather than a theme park. I was sick of what Roblox had become to expect tycoons to be - a waiting simulator with no customisation or uniqueness. Thus, I began this game - Zoo Tycoon.

https://www.roblox.com/games/492019982/Zoo-Tycoon

I'll give an overview of the basic features (you'll be familiar with most of these if you've played Theme Park Tycoon 2):

- Guests (with AI)
- Animals & Enclosures (also with AI)
- A basic economy (for spending/earning money)
- A placing system (with a grid)
- A basic variety of things to build

Please leave feedback in the comments! (This can be bugs you've found, feature requests or whatever). Thank you!

If you keep clicking on the button to select an item to place, it keeps sending out another item, i.e if you click the medium rock button 5 times you get 5 medium rocks you have to place.

Also you can become in debt so much that the money you make doesn't make a difference. I got stuck at -6000 so I had to start over. Lower the refund cost to 75 or something, or make it so you can turn off refunds but not get as much money/guests.

Could you explain how to replicate getting negative money figures? I put a failsafe in all items months ago so that you can only buy items if you have enough money for it. Thank you!

Ok, so I had 2 food places, 3 drink places, an ice cream vendor, and 2 enclosures. I minimized roblox to check something, when I got back I was in debt and I couldn't buy anything to fix it. It kept saying "*insert name here* is parched, they require a refund."

On another note, when I go places I don't get a refund because I'm thirsty. If I want some water or soda I'll buy it. Maybe add something like "A customer is dissatisfied, they require a refund." if you have too little enclosures.

Ah okay, thank you. I'll drastically reduce the refund rates for now, and revise them soon. Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it :P

GUI really does need work though.

Yeah, the GUI is basic for now until most of the features are completely finished. :D

Could you change the name of the ATM because ATMs are something you take money out of or deposit. It just confuses me.

@DylanClobber
The ATMs are something that the guests use to take out money if they are running out.

@Clyc
That's strange, but there isn't anything I can do about it on my end - it may be a problem with Roblox servers. Is there any error message at all?

You can open lots of menus at the same time and the exit buttons get in the way and it's weird lol

Yeah, as I've stated previously, the current GUI is temporary, and thus is basic and flawed, only because I'm not prioritising it currently. However, I will get that fixed asap.

can you make it so that whenever you're placing something and right click, it won't make the thing your trying to place disappear?

The problem is, if the player changes their mind about placing an object, that's the only way to cancel it, and I'm not sure if any other button would be more convenient. I suppose I could make a UI Button instead. I'll look into it. Thank you!
