From Jay: ZT is notorious for having bad staff AI. When something needs to be done, it often picks a farther away zookeeper/scientist/marine specialist rather than a closer one. And once it picks a staff member to do something, it does not change its mind, even if another staff member is picked up and plopped right next to what needs to be done. To minimize problems, I do 3 things when I create zoos. I have all zookeepers, scientists, and marine specialists assigned to exhibits. I do not have any unassigned zookeepers, scientists, or marine specialists. I also put the exhibit gates and tank ladders halfway along the longest side. That minimizes distances from the gate/ladder to the furthest corners, allowing staff to get to what is needed as soon as possible. Since I don't use research hacks, I also turn on the staff training/animal care research categories before anything else. I usually turn on the one that improves animal fertility first, and then the other when the first is done. Then I turn on the other research categories when those are done.2 points

Hawaiian Restaurant Author: Devona (original graphics) and Mark Bell (original configuration) Guests will appreciate being able to enjoy Hawaiian food and watch the hula dancers. Created before the release of the Dinosaur Digs (DD) expansion, the original zip used an exe that overrode the ingame dll and used IDs that Blue Fang used in the DD expansion for fences. With updates from casey and Jay, we are now releasing it back into play. The messages are in langZA03.dll. The purchase menu name is "Hawaiian Restaurant", while the purchase menu tooltip uses the more specific name "Aloha Grill Restaurant". Enjoy. (Configuration notes: removes money; removes any trash; can also be seen in the User Food/Drink purchase menu filter.) Original Release Date: February 2, 2002 Current ztd date: July 4, 2026 Updated: In 2009 by casey to fix the graphics so that the entrance is in the correct position in both front views. Updated in 2009, 2019, and 2026 by casey and Jay to have the animation speeds match for all views, to have it also appear in the User Food/Drink purchase menu filter, to have the messages no longer conflict with DD messages, to have a proper restaurant guest thought, to increase the purchase price and use costs to be more in-line with ZT's restaurant, to remove money and any trash a guest may have, to add ZT's restaurant sound, and to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines.1 point -

Nice restaurant, but sorry—how are you supposed to make a profit with $900 in monthly maintenance costs? Unfortunately, that’s the problem with so many great buildings created by users. The upkeep is too expensive; it’s simply not economical to place these buildings—sadly.0 points
