  1. This is huge, I count 660 assets. We get 45 extra gifts but it is still one of the biggest ones. Luckily it is not a time quest, right?

    1. You got that right. It reminds me a lot of the airport in that there are a lot of duplicate assets but it is a huge amount of them. But don't expect to have a ton of time to work on it because Tuesday will more than likely have another timed quest.

  2. I don't know how long it's been since new non-timed quests were introduced last time.
    This update seems to disprove my earlier theory that there is a certain XP level beyond which a player won't get any more non-timed quests.

  3. Am I missing something here see the quest but cannot build the admin buildings yet do I need to do something else first?

    1. Move any buildings or decorations that may be placed near your water treatment plant in zone 1. Then restart the game.

  4. If I didn't accept the quest at the beginning, am I blocked out from it? I thought it was yet another timed quest, so I said no =(

    1. Oh phew, never mind...i found it buried in the existing quests. It's called "Tourism and the Environment" for those of you who were looking for it like me!

      Delete
    2. I always include the starting quest title in the guides name.

    3. Derf - it's staring at me smack in the face. Thanks for all your hard work! Definitely making this game easier/more fun to plan & play!

    4. Your very welcome. I catch myself using my guides all the time. Even though I have so many neighbors now that I could mess around for a few days and still finish a timed quest. But I'm glad you find it useful! I put a good amount of effort and time into decoding and re-coding all the info. It is fun knowing the secrets of the game before many though.

  5. I can see the quest, but cannot find anywhere to buy the zoo admin building. Are there other prerequisites? Where do I get started with this?

  6. Would be nice to have a picture of the final building altogether.
    Just to see if it looks nice.

    1. I'll see if any of my neighbors have it finished and screen shot it.

  7. More production contracts, but these have very poor returns (6.94 coins profit/minute for the Bird one, 5.56 for each of the others) - all other good production contract profits are in the range 25-40 coins/minute.

    1. Thanks for doing the math. Terrible returns..... It's a cool addition to the city in my opinion. Contracts are just a little bonus.

      Delete
    2. What about returns in terms of XP points? They help when you are aiming for level rather than funds. Someone could undertake to make returns XP per minute clear at a glance.

      Delete
    3. XP returns are on a par with other production buildings, but still towards the lower end of the range: 0.21 (Birds), 0.19 (Primates and Predator); 0.17 (Bear) - all in XP/min of contract. IMO not a great plus considering the poor coin returns
