Planet Zoo is out and everyone is building their dream zoo. Red pandas and cute little Tapirs, but there is a common bug in the game that affects quite a few players. The problem is with zookeepers who don't fill the meals. In this guide, we'll go through some possible solutions.
Planet Zoo - Zookeepers don't fill in the food bug and fix very few issues
Move all food and water bowls
Some players have said that moving the food and water bowls around their habitat fixed the issue, and the zookeepers again filled everything and then the well-fed animals.
Make sure a zookeeper is assigned
Make sure a zookeeper is assigned to the habitat! If you have too many habitats in an area, build a hut for the zookeepers nearby, so they have less travel time.
Remove enrichment toys from feed
Some players have noticed that removing food enrichment toys from their habitat causes the zookeeper to start filling regular feeders again. It could be a bug in the way the zookeeper AI handles priorities and fill orders.
If nothing works, send the animals to the change center
Removing your animals from the habitat and keeping them in the changing center means that they will automatically be fed and not die. This is not a good solution, but it will keep your dear animals from dying and ruin your chances of becoming a thriving zoo.
Unfortunately, the solutions above are just quick fixes and we'll all have to wait for Frontier Developments to fix the issue in an update.
