guest happiness/zoo rating

[mrspiggy]

When doing this months ZOTM contest, we were limited on money, so I only did the research/conservation requirements on the animals that I wanted to use. I could only get my guest happiness at around 95-96 and my zoo rating was about the same. Do you have to do all the research/conservation requirements to get the rating up to 98-99????

don't think that matters I don't have all things either and mine is 98 at the moment

(I didn't do anything with the dinothingies except for the houses which I didn't use due lack of space)

The Zoo Rating formula can be found here:

As research is "only" 5 points, not doing it all may only cost you a point. Bigger point values you may not be able to do for this zoo, for example number of species as it's a small zoo. Unless you cram them all in! Animal & Guest Happiness is half the rating.

 

I started with 500K, and never got below 400K. I had research on max the whole time, and did it all. But turned on certain things first - unneeded ones like Dino Houses for done later.

I guess it's not too late to do that Dino research anyway lol
