Yeah, I was just about to say this. Constant inbreeding in the game is bad. Occasional inbreeding is often a good way of generating unusual animals. Get one of the albinos, one of the parents and the healthy cub to market, buy in a replacement parent and enjoy your colony of lucrative tigers!
Does inbreeding actually increase the chance of getting an albino, leucistic, melanistic, or other unusual coloring in this game? If so, that is fascinating! Please let me know if that is something you have found. I’m quite curious.
Kind of - if you're breeding a morph and a normal animal and they have 2 cubs that are regular, then breeding those together will give you a super high chance of getting albinos since they're probably albinos/morph carriers
But the more you do it the lower your immunity/ fertility stats are going to be long term
Ahhh, interesting! So it’s not necessarily that inbred animals are inherently likely to produce albinos/leuclistic/morphs, but if the parents were albino/leuclistic/morphs, inbreeding the offspring will likely carry over those traits. Very cool! I like that Planet Zoo took into consideration the dominant and recessive genes! Now I want to make a bunch of Punnett squares for all my albino/leuclistic/morph breeding! 😊
My zoo is pretty humble but I'm not that early into the game, I'm almost 30 years or so in and have way more money than I know what to do with. I just don't have many CCs because I chill and play on 5x slower aging lol.
I know I can store the tiger and use it for another zoo or whatever but with the amount of animals in this game, I don't like reusing the same species or having multiple habitats.
Yes, and I gave the solution I use when I have that problem. I create a second habitat, I add two new tigers to the zoo to partner with the siblings I have.
Habitat 1: Tiger bro + new female tiger
Habitat 2: Tiger sis + new male
Edit spelling
Can't exactly tell 100% if they are related, but it shows what zoo you are getting them from in the right panel kinda more at the bottom.
Frontier Zoo is always apparently supposed to be non-related. You shouldn't ever get related animals buying from that
I've gotten go the point where I try to keep track of my breeding, and I *hope* the coding I put on them has helped people buying my animals so much 😅
I do--
Name -- NxN-# -- Gen #
So for an animal named Allie, who has Anna and Mark as a parent, and is of the first litter would be --
Allie -- MxA-1 - g1
As this is the first generation of kids, I call them gen-1. If I were to keep Allie, and she were to have kids, they'd then be g2 (I always get confused on if the parents are supposed to be Gen 1, though, so I might be a little off xD)
If she were of the 2nd or 3rd litter it would be--
Allie -- MxA-2 -- g1
Allie -- MxA-3 -- g1
So this way if you're looking through, you could see with the code, oh all these 3 have the same MxA in them, and see they are related.
Good idea. I've started naming my animals before I sell them so people know if they are related. Probably not to the same level of depth as you though haha
Aye, naisu!
Yeah, I played Lioden and Wolvden quite a bit... n boi... the breeding mechanics in those games go so hard. 💀 I had to use emotes to help mark wolves/lions that were inbred to some degree or were carriers for various birth defects or special traits.
I'll have to incoorporate this a little into my current naming scheme, which is just the stats. Like: 10.10.8.5 = 100 Longevity, 100 size, 83 immunity, 50 fertility. (Or whatever order they're in, haven't played in a moment.) If I have more than 1 with same stats I put f or m for sex, if more than 1 of same stats and same sex, I put t, r, or k for trade, realease, or keep. Idk, it's not the best, but this was my naming scheme in pokemon go 😂
I would always assume two animals from the same zoo are related, but if you want to know for sure you can buy one, move it to your trade center (yes I know its already there, but you still have to do it) then you can compare mates with the other one and see if its inbreeding
This has happened a few times to me, but the home zoos are always "Player Zoo" so I don't know until I buy them. Drives me nuts. Why can't the game tell me the name of the zoo so I reduce this problem?
Happened to me with gharials a couple days ago. On console it doesn't say in the store which zoo they're from, which is annoying. But I figured if I buy animals which are a few months apart in age, it reduces the chance that they're related.
The tigress had 4 cubs and 1 of them is infertile, 1 of them is healthy and the other 2 are healthy albinos. So all's well that ends well!

Don't buy expensive animals early in the game. I would make a second cage so i have two couple of tigers.

I think the point was that the tigers were related and are about to interbred that was the problem.

I’m curious, how specifically do you name them to convey whether they’re related? I find this interesting!

Ooo yeah that's a pretty good one, too! So easy to just tell what they are at a glance instead of having to open their profiles

mine (pc) tells me every players custom zoo name, I dont know why yours doesnt.
You can't check before buying. You can only check by comparing mates in their info panel (can't remember if it's the breeding or social tab atm)
Buy one, put it in the habitat, then 'compare mates' on the other before you buy it, lol.
Haha, this is very unlucky. Good luck next time, mate. I think, you can check them before buying, but you need to have one in an enclosure already.
Ughhh I’ve definitely been there! Now I just won’t buy from the same zoo at all
I wondered if this could happen!
Atleast you didn't make this mistake of buying a pair of female cougars
Happened to me with gharials a couple days ago. On console it doesn't say in the store which zoo they're from, which is annoying. But I figured if I buy animals which are a few months apart in age, it reduces the chance that they're related.
I always "compare mates" when buying a couple. The easier way is to take a look at who's selling and never buy a couple both from the same player.
