All of the areas have these options- -Deep Water -Shallow Water -Dirt -Grass and Dirt -Grass -Tall Grass -Sparse Forest They are all basically the same thing except minor name changes i.e Grassland biomes Sparse Forest=Desert Biomes Windswept Dunes. ========================================================================= 16.Habitat Editor ========================================================================= This mode is pretty simple. All you have to do is select a certain type of terrain modifyer and then select the brush size then put it over the land where you want it simply click the mouse and hold it until the terrain is as high or as low as you want. Here i will list all you can select using the method above and it's effects. Create Hill-Creates a hill. Create Valley-Pushes terrain down to make a big hole. Create Cliff-Creats a straight up cliff. Create Ditch-Creates a straight down ditch. Now for these methods click on the right height terrain you want. Off to the side lets say and while still holding down the left mouse button drag it on the area you want like that. Flatten terrain-Makes terrain you dragged on second the same height as the terrain you first clicked on. Smooth terrain-Makes hill and cliff tops smooth/flat. ========================================================================= 17.Trees ========================================================================= ========================================================================= 18.Plants ========================================================================= ========================================================================= 19.Rocks ========================================================================= ========================================================================= 20.Staff ========================================================================= ========================================================================= 21.Freeform Mode ========================================================================= In This mode you alredy have everything unlocked and unlimeted money good if you don't want alot of work or feel like you want to do anything (or you are writing a FAQ :!). ========================================================================= 22.Campaign Mode ========================================================================= In this mode you are given a set amount of cash and you will be dropped into your zoo where you will have to complete your goal which when you complete you will unlock items or more campaign modes. Just in case I did not list the rewards from these campaigns in the guide. ========================================================================= 23.Challenge Mode ========================================================================= In this mode you are given a set amount of cash and you will be dropped into your zoo where you will recieve alot of challenges which when you complete you will recieve money or unlock items and will recieve an award or certificate. ========================================================================= 24.Downloads Section ========================================================================= Every now and again Microsoft will release a cool little tid bit item for download for the game. Some of these I will list them here please note if I forgot any in the guide. *=endangered species only Some items I have already posted in the guide may show up here to get them promptly download them.

This List is as of 6/7/08. ========================================================================= 25.Walkthrough ========================================================================= There are 3 kinds of walkthroughs that I can make so i'll make them all. I will start off with Freeform Mode. Then i will do Campaign Mode. Then I will finish this section with my personal favorite Challenge Mode. I don't know how long these will take you to complete but it will take a little chunk of time for you to complete. I will keep adding to Freeform Mode but I will only go as far as I can in Challenge and Campaign mode because you can only go so far in those without getting to bored. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freeform Mode Walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------------------------- First I would like to state I am doing this with 50,000 dollars as a start off in this Walkthrough and all others. My strategy will work for any amount of money as it will leave time laps for those whose choose to have more or less than 50 grand. I start will 50 grand because i feel it's the best amount and I personally think going over that is just cheating yourself out of the fun of Zoo Tycoon 2:ES as it will only take you only about 4 hours max to really beat it and that's is no fun. Side note- In Freeform Mode you have unlimited cash. Also never pause the game it's not important but you know no sense in building the zoo in the first month then just let it run that's just pointless. This scenario will require you use the Grassland (L) map (available in both versions of the game). 1.First things fist clear everthing that's in the map and flatten the terrain so that it's is the same as the front all map round. We will add more texture and detail later right now it's just to tedious to tend to. No Rivers right now either. That should be pretty easy. Don't delete the paths though. 2.To the top right of the zoo entrance run some chain link/iron bar fence about 20 right then down to the wall so it sresmbles this (roughly). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ! ! ! ! ! GA ! ! ! ----- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ! ZE !-----------------~---------------- ! ! Lions !~! Zebra ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZE=Zoo Entrance-Should have cement or asphalt under it. GA=Guest Area-Should have cement or asphalt under it. ~~~~~~~~ and so on=a path-Pick any path ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.Now put the animals (labled above) in their cages and fit them to their enviornment then hire 2 zookeepers 1 matinece workers and 1 educator. If you feel you need more hire them but it's tedious once again right now to have them all running about. Then put a staff gate between the two exhibits (and don't forget to put one on each exhibit somewhere where it is not blocked off). 4.Next is the Guest focus. Set up a couple of restrooms (whichever kind) so that guests will have somewhere to do their business. Then I suggest you put up a couple of soda and drink stands and perhaps a gift shop then set a little grassy area behind the guest area to set up picnic tables and benches. With paths leading to all. Also make sure there are plenty of trash cans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- ! ! ! PA ! -------------- ! ! ! ! ! GA ! ! ! --------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ! ZE !-----------------~---------------- ! ! Lions !~! Zebra ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZE=Zoo Entrance-Should have cement or asphalt under it. GA=Guest Area-Should have cement or asphalt under it. PA=Picnic Area ~~~~~~~~ and so on=a path-Pick any path ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.Then by the picnic area set up an educator podium (w/ path) and by the Guest Area set up Staff Center and a donation box (for credibility) and a couple of ATM's. Then Open your zoo there is enough stuff now where people will at least pay $10 to get in so ste it to that. If they don't start coming put it down to free keep adding and when a bunch of people start coming put it back on ten. You can edit these options by simply clicking on the zoo front gate (While you're there give your zoo a cool name). Now let's add some more animals.Repeat the steps from step 2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- ! ! ! PA ! -------------- ! ! ! ! !

So in this FAQ I will put in some very common questions that people might ask and would like to be answered. If you have any questions you wish I would ansewr please contact me at the email address located in the Contact Me section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Why can't I brush my animal? Well chances are you're animal does not need brushing. 2.Why can't my Zoo Keeper get into an exibit? For a zoo Keeper to get into an exibit there needs to be an staff entrance gate on the exhibit gate. If you have one but they still can't get in make sure the entrance isn't blocked off by water, a tree, ,or a rock etc, etc. 3.Why does this annoying message keep poping up i.e Why can't the Zoo Keeper get to the animal poop? This is the most frustrating thing in the game because it won't stop until you resolve the problem. To stop this message find the poop (click on the message and it will take you there revove the item it's next to ( probably what is causing the problem) or clean it up yourself ( you lazy bum you). These are the only real flaws or problems with the game if you find any more please tell me and I will investigate if I find the same problem I will gladly put them in the FAQ and give you full credit (please send your Gamefaqs I.D or intials or I wll put it sent in by anonomyous and only you will know that you sent it in. ========================================================================= 27.Cheats ========================================================================= No Cheats yet Send em in (if there are any cheats in the zoo tycoon 2 section I will not post them in the guide without an email from poster allowing me to put it in). ========================================================================= 28.Contact Me ========================================================================= If you wish to send me a question for the faq, add something I missed, tell me about spelling or grammar errors, or just want to tell me my guide has helped you or you really like it please contact me at [email protected].
