Having problems with Dino digs : Carnivore Zoo scenario.  I cannot, for the life of me,get the Hyena's exhibit to 85 (which is one of the criteria for the scenario) it's stuck at 84! I tested tile by tile, tree by tree, I made sure everything i set there was 'till the last happy faces etc... any suggestions?

Where you have the trees - if you can fit 4 to a square, then fill the square with trees (example would be the Acacia the the bottom of the pic).  Do the same thing with the small rocks.  I generally keep adding rocks/foliage until I get red faces when placing the 2nd item in a square - I ignore the 1st red face - this only applies to items that fit 4 to a square.

Can you add more hyenas?  They like a crowd, so try adding more.

Yes, Tazlover that is a very valuable tip-for anyone trying to complete that scenario (includes me too!). Thank you very much for sharing this with everyone!

I read it somewhere, just don't remember the source!

I'm sure there's lots of places you can find that tip, and it's a good one.  Hit Ctrl + g to turn on the grid, and put 4 plants per square--often the difference in getting suitability up to 100!

Check out the other Carnivore Zoo thread.

Popcorn,

The other Carnivore Zoo thread is almost like a guide, it's so full of info. That would be a good place to look for more if your hyenas are still unhappy. If all else fails, use some suitability guied, like Wisco's or Zoo Tycoon Unleashed.

Good Luck, this is a hard one :thumbsup: ,

Easiest way:
Don´t put only Acacias. Try with Tall Grass or other kinds of african savannah trees; they worked for me. Just put 4 of them per square; and try using small or medium rocks.
That usually works fine.
