[@folktale6955]

A tip i picked up from my own breeding projects: if you have a really good breeding male and want to keep him for as long as possible, send him to the trading center as soon as all the females in the habitat get pregnant. The trading center prevents him from aging and you'll get more breeding out of him than usual.

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

A great tip! Really helps especially if you're just breeding for the appeal boost. I'd say the same goes for females too if you're looking for perfect stats since you can see breeding outcomes even when they're locked up!

[@clairethompson5549]

Thanks for this tip! I’m new to the game so I didn’t know aging paused in the trade center.

Bro I have your croc! *Murni I just started breeding her

[@innocent-yellowbean9670]

I've been breeding Albinos only and have great success. I started with the Peafowl factory and let me tell you... I'm over run haha. Highly recommend starting with peafowl in franchise mode to make leaf money fast. Anyways, I'm trying a new technique where I just need one enclosure. And once a female is pregnant I removed both the pair and add my next pair. Then once she's pregnant, I remove the male again (so he doesn't keep aging) and add the other pregnant female. (This works with tigers.) Then both their cubs grow at the same rate.

[@jasew9718]

If it helps i breed and put up my leucistic, albino and less common mutations up each day for less than 100 conservation points every day. :) Mainly bengal tigers, siberian tigers, Lions, saltwater crocodiles, bonobos, chimpanzes, ostriches, indian peafowl, wilderbeast, black panthers spottless cheatahs and more aha. If anyone has any requests or anything just let me know and ill put them up at a certain time.

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

That's really cool of you Jasmine. I think a large portion of the community that is less than concerned about CC and rarity now has shifted to this mindset and I'm sure that's much appreciated by the community at large.

[@zachshannon6989]

Great vid. I reckon it's dumb though how they have made it that you have to factory breed to get decent animals. I hope they re-work that system in the future

[@MrOneWolfe]

There is one group of animals that is not mentioned in either video, and im really struggling with this third group. The many to many groups, for example, Bonobos and Giraffes. Should they be treated the same as the one to many groups or is it more complicated than that?

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

You are exactly right, actually. If you wanted to then you could have two or more males in a habitat, however it would eliminate the point of selectively choosing your mates as you then would have an equal chance of the wrong male impregnating your female. I don't think I explicitly stated it in the video but all multi-multi animals I consider to be in the 1-x category.

[@kodymeyers9126]

Wonderful!

[@Calcearius]

Can you upload these habitats to the workshop? I know they are pretty basic and easy to build but I'm super lazy and would be nice to just copy paste them lol

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

Haha, yes sir. I'll go ahead and put up a link to my workshop page in the videos, and upload the habitats when I get a chance. More than likely some of them will just be the all-in-one centerpieces I'm prone to using, as whole habitats place very poorly.

[@Calcearius]

@@TheOriginalHipsterJesus Another little tip I have come across while breeding over the last few days is to place the male in to storage as soon as he get's the female pregnant so he doesn't age then bring him back out when you have a female to breed him with, you can get a lot more young from a male doing this :)

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

@@Calcearius It's more efficient that way, for sure. However, it's more micromanagement, so I don't do it personally unless its a really important male.

@@TheOriginalHipsterJesus I dont really mind good video though keep doing it.

[@superbeast39]

Good tips, thanks! Have you noticed that the game seems to ignore the "interbirth period" if you leave the offspring in the same habitat as the parents? However if you move the offspring out then the game honors the interbirth (ie, let's the female become pregnant much sooner than if the offspring is around waiting to age into adulthood). As a parent I get it. Kids kill sex drives. I just didn't expect such realism in a zoo game! Lol.

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

Hahahaha, very astute. This is part of the reason I have the extra habitat for each species to move offspring to. To be honest, I just ended up cutting the whole explanation out of the video to make it a little shorter. I will try to squeeze it into the zoo layout video if I can, though I suspect that one might run long.

[@haleyishhh]

[@nc4940]

Really liked the videos, super informative and helpful for a new user especially! Question, when you are explaining about the female elephants and replacing one with her daughter, how can you tell which is her daughter if you have a bunch of young females running around? Thanks!

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

When I made the video, there was no such feature, but now you can check parentage in the studbook tab of the animal's pop-up. Otherwise, you can come up with your own naming convention to know at a glance. Personally, I like the idea of giving all the females in the same line names that start with the same letter. Amber, Angela, Aranea, etc, from "A" through however many mates the male can have. Hope that helps!

I have an exhibit full of ALL near perfect, leucistic peafowls and I still have a normal one pop out once a day 🙃😫

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

Since making this video they added in a degree of randomness to all the alleles, including the ones that control leucism and the stats (genetic mutations). Following this method still works, but the chances of getting it just right are a teensy bit lower now haha.

[@talon4314]

Fantastic video, any chance you could do one explaining the difference between gold, silver, bronze, and the star system? I’ve had 100% animals with no medal and no stars, and 5 star gold ones with terrible stats 🥴😂

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

The medal system is just silly lol. As is the CC value of animals in offline mode. They both scale based on how far away from about 250 points all 4 of your animals stats are. That means that having a perfect animal with 100 in each makes it worth about the same as an animal with a 25 in every stat. It's actually a detriment to max the animals out, but it's cool for collecting, and the animals you make along the way are usually worth good CC.

[@talon4314]

I really appreciate the reply, completely agree it’s a messed up system I was trying to breed 3 star birds today for the community challenge but even after over 100 birds bred it definitely seemed like it was more by luck and randomness than skill 😂

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

@@talon4314 Of course, and yeah I believe thay wanted to make the system accessible enough to make random breeding still work.

@@TheOriginalHipsterJesus For sure! Looking forward to future vids! I do videos myself, just not of this game, but tonight I’ve had fun and I’ll probably do a video about how to completely hack the game...

I put a couple of tigers into the trade centre and started a new one So. I looked at koalas. 6000CP for a gold... really 😏 Thanks to your videos, I bought a pair of cheap ones, they bred a pair of golds, they both sold for 5000... Long story short, the “zoo” consists of 3 enclosures and a couple of shops just breeding koalas to sell for a ridiculous amount on the market 😂😂😂 3 hours, the “zoo” is on $1.4million, 85000CP, and I’ve still got 15 gold koalas left to trade 😏 Koala Simulator 2021...

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

@@talon4314 Hahaha koala simulator sounds about right. Really there are certain animals that are gonna sell really well on the market cuz its FLOODED with CC. With all of the release X animals challenges and considering people who have been playing since launch there are tons of people with millions of CC to burn. There's a lot to consider where pricing is concerned but even selling stuff for 10k CC is chump change for a lot of people, and underselling tends to be bought by scalpers far more often than people who are actually CC poor. But, good on you for finding something that works for you! One of these days I'll get around to unpacking genetics and maybe provide a guaranteed way to get perfect animals.

[@freya5019]

I made a world and got only lions and i started breeding them and putting the gold females and males together if they produced silver cubs more often then gold i would try them with a different partner i had 2 in each pen and i sold the bronze or silver lions and i put the best breeders in my big pen with the best male until he stopped all the others from breeding so i had to get rid of him

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

This is all well and good for making a few animals with a high rating, but bronze, silver, and gold have little bearing on consistently breeding good animals, let alone perfect ones. The method in the video guarantees at least a certain quality, and is only really necessary for collector's sake.

[@isangi3297]

Is it possible to get leucistic animals in sandbox mode?

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

Yes. It is just more difficult as you have to get lucky on your own and find the gene combination (which you can't see) to get one. A ton of the people you see with leucistic animals in franchise bought them from the market. Personally I think the sandbox market should allow you to fully customize your animals instead of being a near-clone of the challenge mode market. We shall see if Frontier believes the same.

[@joshanniedsilva6921]

Which animals are Type A and which are B? Can u make a list?

[@bcwnum1]

Type A animals are any animal that cannot have more than one adult female in the habitat. Type B animals are any animals that CAN have more than one adult female. No other factors apply to their typing. Since you can see this in the zoopedia for each animal I see no reason to make a list. Hope that helps :)

[@HaydenLambert7]

Okay so I’ve successfully inbred the tigers and jaguars to get whites and panthers. Really struggling to get albino lion! In sandbox mode.

Just gotta hang in there and keep trying! The more variation the better. Even if you have to inundate your gene pool with low-stat lions, remember you can always raise their stats later.

@@TheOriginalHipsterJesus What are the chances of getting leucistic animals in sandbox mode? had a ton of monitor babies but no white ones

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

@@richardmason332 The chances should be the same as getting them in franchise. That is to say: the chances are extremely low. I know you can get them, but it relies on creating the same genetic diversity that you need in franchise without the help of other players to do it. Because of this it's a lot more random, and much harder. The whole video is about creating and maintaining diversity and it can be done without other players. Just breeding a ton isn't enough if there is no variation in genes.

[@richardmason332]

@@TheOriginalHipsterJesus How do you know about variation in genes? i bred a ton of lions in 3 pens probs about 50 to be exact and was playing about with getting the gene ratings higher but didn't produce a white lion.

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

@@richardmason332 Between this and the better breeding video I've explained all of this lol. You can't explicitly tell which animals have which genes. You just have to bring in as many outside animals as you can in the hopes that eventually you breed two that are both carriers for leucism. It's all luck and I'm not sure there's really anything else I can add to that. 3 pens means nothing if none of the 3 males are carriers for leucism. You just can't tell right now.

I’ve tried to breed animals like nuts in sandbox with peafowl and no leusustics. Are leusistics even possible in sandbox?

I've had a lot of people ask this question. I don't play in sandbox but have seen several testimonies from people who do that HAVE gotten leucistic animals. I wouldn't recommend trying for them rn though. It's far easier to get them in franchise mode, especially with them cropping up all over the market and sandbox will hopefully have a toggle for this feature in the future.

It is very possible. Sometimes during sandbox I’ll even see albino, leucistic, etc animals in the market. And I have also had peafowls have albino offspring, but I think it’s rarer for different animals?

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

Check out the "Breed better animals" video on my channel. It shows you where the limits are in Zoopedia. But yes, you just need to keep swapping out a mate for their same sex offspring whenever they have better stats in the first two, until you hit 200X. Then keep those 200X babies in the trade center and keep making or looking on the market for other 200X animals. Compare mates with each one until you find one that has a chance of being perfect :). It takes time, usually 10-50 in-game years, depending on the species. Longer for elephants. That's why I reccomend building a zoo just for this purpose.

You didn’t say what to do when u compare mates and none have a chance of 4-100 offspring. You just said nvmd let’s look at one that does. But you dont explain how to get to that point.

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

I'll do my best to help :) If you're in franchise and trading with other people you just keep comparing mates in the trade window and checking back until you find a match, and if you're trying to breed a match yourself you just need to keep producing offspring and trying each one against your existing babies. Remember to introduce as much variation as you can though, especially if you're looking for leucistic animals. Either way finding this match is the longest part of the process unfortunately.

[@elies1538]

I don’t get it.. I have a female 92%,100%,100%,100% and a male with 100% on everything still.. my baby’s would get genetics like 60%-70% (they are not brother and sister and the female didn’t got any Cubs for the last 4 years

[@TheOriginalHipsterJesus]

I've found that animals with 100 in all stats really rarely create perfect offspring. That's because unlike the first two genes, the second two play off of eachother based on hidden values. Sometimes fertility and immunity both even need to be at or near 0 for certain pairings to create perfect babies.
