SAFETY WARNING
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitive epileptic seizures while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptomschildren and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Play in a well-lit room. Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Table of Contents

Welcome to Zoo Tycoon. You can now build your ultimate zoo! Stock it with all kinds of exotic animals, put in tons of objects, and include all sorts of attractions to bring in more guests as you build your perfect zoo.

Playing Zoo Tycoon

When you first start Zoo Tycoon, youre given a tutorial to follow. After you complete the first tutorial, or after you exit it on your own, you get the following options on the main menu. Play Tutorial & Scenario Game Begin playing scenarioswin-orlose games with predetermined goals. Play Freeform Game Let your imagination run wildthe only way to lose is to run out of money. Load Saved Game Load a Zoo Tycoon game youve saved earlier or downloaded from the Internet. Continue Saved Game Return to the game you last played.

You can find the latest downloadable content at www.zootycoon.com.
To install Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection
1 Insert the blue Zoo Tycoon disc with the elephant on it into your CD-ROM drive. The main Setup screen appears. Note: If Setup does not begin automatically when the disc is inserted, right-click My Computer, click Open, double-click the CD-ROM drive, and then double-click Setup.exe. 2 Click Install, and then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. 3 When installation from the blue disc is finished, insert the green Zoo Tycoon disc with the dolphin on it, click Install, and then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. Be sure to install both Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection CDs to take advantage of all the new features, marine animals, dinosaurs, and more! Information on these Zoo Tycoon Expanded features can be found starting on page 37. Get an edge on the game by visiting the Zoo Tycoon Insider Web site at www.zootycooninsider.com for hints, tips, tricks, and strategies.

Some animals require more space than others, with cheetahs requiring the most space and chimpanzees, gazelles, and wildebeests requiring the least.

Exhibit Gates

The exhibit gate is used by zookeepers to enter exhibits and care for the animals there. You can get information about the exhibit by clicking the gate, which produces the Exhibit List panel (see page 30). The game automatically puts a gate in the exhibits fence, or you can place it yourself.

Fence Types

You can choose to build tall or short fences. Tall fences keep big animals from escaping but are harder to see past than short fences. Short fences dont restrain big animals or animals that can climb or jump, but theyre easier to see past. Exhibit fences are used to contain animals. You can also build decorative fences that beautify your zoo.
Some animals can escape over certain types of fences. You may need to build natural obstacles, such as moats, to keep animals in their exhibits.
To place a gate in a new location
Click the Manual Gate Placement button, and then click the segment of fence where you want the gate to be located. The closer exhibit gates are to each other, the more efficient the zookeepers are in tending the animals. Dont block the exhibit gate with objects; zookeepers need to get in and out of the exhibit easily.

Zoo Paths Tab

Guests become lost if they dont have paths to follow. Staff members dont need paths.

Foliage Tab

Clicking the Foliage tab gives you access to a variety of trees and bushes that are important to the happiness of the zoo animals. Check the selected plants habitat and location information (located at the bottom of the Foliage panel) to make sure an animal will like the foliage in its exhibit.
Dont put a tree next to a fence if you have animals that can climbtheyll use the tree to escape!

To build a path

1 Click the Zoo Paths tab, and then click the type of path you want. 2 Move the cursor to the area of the zoo where you want the path to start, click and drag the cursor to build a section of path, and then release the mouse button to end the path.

Topiary

Topiary (plants shaped to look like animals) is expensive but worth it if youre interested in beautifying your zoo.

Flower Beds

Colorful flower beds add to the beauty of your zoo and please guests. If youre not satisfied with the path youve built, you can remove it by clicking the Undo Previous Action button. Paths connect with each other as long as the terrain is flat or slopes gently. If neither is true, you may be left with a broken path (see illustration below). If there are sharp inclines or cliffs, smooth the terrain with the terrain leveling tools (see page 12).

Try not to place trees in front of areas where guests are likely to stop to view the animals. If guests cant see the animals, the guests become unhappy.

Rocks Tab

Some animals enjoy climbing on rocks. If an animal likes rocks but doesnt find anyor enoughin its exhibit, it may not like the exhibit and become unhappy. Note that both foliage and rocks can be placed in an exhibit for animals, but foliage and rocks can also be placed around the zoo grounds to beautify them.

Broken path

Modify Zoo Terrain
Animals are happy when their exhibit matches their natural habitat. You can change the exhibits surface or elevation by clicking the Construction button, and then clicking either the Terrain Type or Terrain Height tab.

Terrain Type Tab

Choose this tab to convert the existing surface type into the kind the animal prefers. (See page 15 to learn how to determine what the animal likes.)
To change the terrain type
Construction button Decrease Tool Size button Increase Tool Size button
1 At the top of the Terrain Type panel, change the size of your tool by clicking the Increase Tool Size (+) button to increase its size or the Decrease Tool Size () button to decrease its size.
Terrain is changed by applying a terrain tool to the landscape of your zoo.
2 Click the type of terrain you want to use. 3 Place the cursor over the area you want to change, and then click and drag the cursor to modify the terrain. 4 Click the Accept Terrain Changes button to make the change permanent, or click the Undo Terrain Changes button to start over. As you convert terrain, a cost appears in the lower portion of the Terrain Type panel. This is a running total, and you are not charged this amount until you click the Accept Terrain Changes button, deselect the terrain tool, switch to a new tab, or close the Construction panel. Any unhealthy or unhappy animals may trample the terrain in their exhibit, and you will have to replace the terrain.
Change Terrain Height tools
Terrain Type tab Terrain Height tab
Undo Terrain Changes button
Accept Terrain Changes button

Terrain Height Tab

This tab contains options that let you build hills, valleys, cliffs, and moats. Some animals, such as the markhor, like lots of elevation in their exhibit. The tools function much the same as the Change Terrain Type tools.
Use a small shovel when making changesits easier to control your changes that way.
Note that a grid appears when you click this tab. The grid helps you plan your changes.
Change Terrain Height Tools
The upper-left tool creates gradual changes in terrain height, producing hills and valleys. The upper-right tool creates abrupt changes in terrain height, producing cliffs and moats. The lower-left tool levels gentle terrain by leveling hills or by filling valleys. The lower-right tool levels steep terrain by leveling cliffs or by filling moats.
To alter the terrain height
1 At the top of the Terrain Height panel, select the size of your tool. The tool can be as small as one square by one square, or as large as five squares by five squares. 2 Select the tool appropriate for the kind of change you want to make. The tools are described on page 12. 3 Place the cursor over the area you want to change, and then click and drag the cursor horizontally across the area to level the terrain or upward to raise the height or downward to lower it, depending on the tool youve selected. If youre not happy with the changes youve made, click the Undo Terrain Changes button, which erases your changes, leaving your zoo unaffected. Otherwise, click the Accept Terrain Changes button.
Create gradual hills or valleys Level hills or valleys
Create sheer cliffs or moats Level cliffs or moats

Adopt Animals

After youve built an exhibit, its time to adopt animals to place in it. There is a wide variety of animals to choose from, ranging from less expensive, commonly available animals to expensive, rare animals. More animals become available as you fund research and conservation programs (see page 23). Clicking the Adopt Animals button opens the Creatures panel.
When you select an animal in the Creatures panel, a brief summarythe animals cost to adopt, the geographical location in which it is naturally found, its habitat, and the kinds of exhibit features it prefers appears at the bottom of the panel. For additional information about that animal, click the Animal Facts button.

Want to hear the pitterpatter of little paws? Put a male and a female animal in your exhibit so they can create baby animals.

Animal Shelters Tab

Some animals like to have their own house within their exhibit. They may become too excited by the crowds or need a quiet place to sleep. The Animal Information panel (see page 32) provides details about each animal, including whether it requires a separate shelter and the kind of shelter it prefers. Not all types of shelters are available at the beginning of the game. As your zoo funds research, better shelters become available.
Placement of Objects in Exhibits
When you place objects, such as a shelter, foliage, rocks, or animal toys, in an exhibit, you can choose which direction they face.
To place an object in an exhibit
1 Click the object you want to place, and then move the cursor to the area of the exhibit where you want the object to be placed. If you want the object to face a different direction, click one of the Rotate Object buttons to turn the object around. (Note: The image of the object rotates in the panel, not on the gameplay screen, and you must rotate the object before you place it.) 2 Click to place the object. If youre not happy with its placement, click the Undo Previous Action button, and then place the object again.
Rotate object counter-clockwise Rotate object clockwise

Animal Toys Tab

Click this tab to see the toys you can place in exhibits. Some animals love toys (monkeys love monkey bars, for example). More toys become available through research programs (see page 23). Toys increase animal happiness.
When you place an object in an exhibit, a green happy face or a red sad face may appear. A sad face means placing the object makes the animal unhappy. A happy face means it makes the animal happy. If neither face appears, it means the animal feels neutral about the object.

Buy Structures

Click the Buy Structures button to open the Structures panel, which has two tabs: Zoo Buildings and Zoo Scenery. Use these tabs to place buildings and to beautify your zoo.

Zoo Buildings Tab

Most zoo buildings generate income, except restrooms, which keep guests happy, and the buildings such as the Petting Zoo and the Japanese Garden, which attract guests. Not all buildings are available at the start of the game. By funding research projects, you can add more buildings to your zoo.
The compost building doesnt attract guests, but it does generate income for the zoo.
Zoo Buildings tab Zoo Scenery tab Buy Structures button
After you place a building, click it to display its Building Information panel. If the building sells anything, the items it sells are pictured at the bottom of the panel. Click the up or down arrow to change the price charged for these items. Or click the green dollar symbol to sell the building and remove it from the zoo. In addition, the panel may contain the following informational tabs. Status Shows totals and items sold. Finance Shows the buildings profitability.

Hire Staff

As zoo manager, you oversee the work of several types of employees: zookeepers, tour guides, and maintenance workers. (For information on scientists and marine specialists, refer to the Zoo Tycoon Expanded Features section starting on page 37.)

To hire staff

1 Click the Hire Staff button, and then click the staff member you want to hire. 2 Move the cursor to the area where you want the staff member to begin working, and then click to place the staff member.
How well a zookeeper performs depends on the number of animalsnot the number of exhibits.

Zoo Scenery Tab

An inviting zoo environment, complete with extras, keeps guests happy. Benches Let tired and unhappy guests sit and relax, when the benches are conveniently located. As guests relax, their energy replenishes, thereby encouraging them to continue walking around your zooand to spend more money buying food and gifts and visiting attractions. Exhibit Signs Beautify the zoo and educate guests about exhibits. Picnic Tables Let guests sit to eat. Standing to eat makes guests unhappy. Trash Cans Help keep zoo paths clean, when the cans are conveniently placed. Without trash cans, guests throw trash on the ground. Trash cans are emptied by maintenance workers. Observation Areas Help beautify your zoo.

Keep an eye on the zoo rating graph. Its important for many scenarios and is a good overall indicator of how youre doing.

Creating Marine Exhibits

In-Ground and Above-Ground Tanks
Unlike in land exhibits, in marine exhibits you can control the height of the tank walls and the elevation of the bottom, allowing you to create a variety of tanks for different sizes of animals. After you place the tank, you can raise and lower the tank walls and tank base using the Modify Tank tab on the Exhibit Information panel, which you can access by clicking the tanks platform.

Sorting

Using the drop-down menus at the top of the Construction, Creatures, Structures, Hire Staff, and Research/Conservation panels, you can view only original Zoo Tycoon content, Dinosaur Digs content, or Marine Mania content, or all three at once.

Draining Tanks

Tanks are filled automatically when you create an exhibit. If you need to drain the tank, click the Drain/Fill Tank button on the Exhibit Information panel.

Building Management

To determine the revenue generated by your food stands, composting facilities, and other profitable buildings, click the Commerce Building List tab in the Zoo Status window. The Zoo Status window can be accessed by clicking your entrance gate.

Salinity

Marine exhibits have a few more variables to keep track of than other exhibit types. Although the water defaults to salt water, you can drain the tank and refill it with either salt water or fresh water.
Number of visitors, sorted by most to least popular Months in operation, listed by oldest to newest Building type, alphabetized by type

Marine Specialists

Your zookeepers are great for elephants and tigers, but theyre in over their head when dealing with the special needs of marine life. You can hire marine specialists from the same place you hire zookeepers and other zoo staff, on the Hire Staff panel.

Filtration

You need to keep clean water in your tanksdirty water makes your animals unhappy. Purchase tank filters from the Fences tab on the Construction panel. Marine specialists also clean tanks, but it keeps them from other tasks, such as running shows. Note that tank filters may not be available right away. Remember that your filters can break down. If you see one sputtering and smoking or sitting idle, get a maintenance worker on it right away.

Creating Aquatic Shows

For step-by-step instruction on setting up a show, see the interactive Marine Mania tutorials. Everyone loves seeing a dolphin jump through a hoop or an orca perform a spectacular breach. Getting your marine animals to perform is a great way to attract guests and make additional money for your zoo.
Constructing a Show Exhibit
To set up a marine show, youll need to construct a show tank where the animals will perform. Show tanks have their own special walls, which you can purchase on the Construction panel just like all other walls in Zoo Tycoon. Show tanks must be constructed alongside an existing exhibit tankwhen you construct the show tank, a portal is placed between the two. The animal will live in its exhibit tank but will swim into the show tank for its scheduled performances.
Not only can you create tank exhibits for marine-based creatures, but you can add a tank exhibit portion to a regular land exhibit for any animal that enjoys a good swim. Construct combined exhibits by building a tank exhibit adjacent to or within an existing land exhibit, making sure the animal can get into the water. But make sure that your animals cant climb out the other side of the tank and escape!

Purchasing a Show Animal

Research

Remember that funding research is vital to ensuring the continued health of your dinosaurs!
Species: Change the species to perform the show.

Setting Up Performances

Select the gender for your dinosaurs using the male and female buttons on the Creatures panel.

Protecting Guests

You can attract a lot of guests with dinosaurs, but it wont do your zoo rating much good if an Apatosaurus escapes and clears the parking lot with one fell swoop of its tail.

Fences

Dinosaur Digs includes the following enhanced fence types. Guests can be shocked by the electrified fences if they get too close, so be sure not to build paths right next to these fences.
Reinforced concrete Reinforced concrete/glass Reinforced concrete/iron bar
Electrified iron bar Electrified chain link

Dinosaur Recovery Team

Even the best-laid plans, and fences, sometimes fail. Accidents happen (how else would one of your dinosaurs escape?). And when dinos escape, youve got to get them back to their exhibitsquickly! Thats where the Dinosaur Recovery Team (DRT) comes in. To capture escaped dinosaurs, purchase a DRT and place it in your zoo. You can purchase a DRT on the Hire Staff panel.
When a dinosaur escapes, the DRT tranquilizes the dino. Make sure a scientist is nearby to put the dinosaur in a containerotherwise, it might wake up! Once the dino is contained, return it to its exhibit. Just make sure all your fencing is intact first.
