Zoo D'Amour

The Zoo D'Amour - I'm going to call it Love Zoo because I'm not pretentious - was the first additional zoo released, on June 7 2017. Here's its deal.

Total cost:

Minimum 220 diamonds (150 for Zoological Society; 90 for rubble)

I paid 370 diamonds because I'll never have 30 million ZD, I'm not made of fake money.

Opening the Zoological Society

You have to pay...what, 150 diamonds to unlock the Zoological Society at all

Breeding

Before unlocking the Love Zoo, you gotta breed 25 each of:

- Meerkats

- Arctic Foxes

- Hippos

- Beavers

You can pay some ungodly amount of diamonds to skip that. It took me a couple months to do the breeding.

Unlocking

Once you have all 100 of your animals, you can pay 30 mil or 150 diamonds to unlock the zoo itself, and here we go.

Here's what the zoo looked like for me, when I very first opened it. What do you see? ROCKS, right? This place is a mess.

Here's what it costs to get rid of all this junk.

Six Types of Junk

Some types of junk can only be cleared with diamonds. It's always instantaneous to clear with diamonds; it takes fairly long to clear with ZD (zoo money, aka fake money).

Here's how much it'll cost for me to clear my Love Zoo:

Minimal Diamonds: 965,000 and 299 hours, plus 70 diamonds

Diamonds Only: 151

You Can Get Started Right Away

They've done you the favor of leaving room for three small enclosures. See?

But all enclosure breeding enrichment items are 3x3, so you won't be able to fit any of those in, leaving your breeding chances less than they'd be at your main zoo. So they're really forcing you to clear that junk.

Oh, and here's the intro screen

Here's what you first see when you open up the Love Zoo. It's useless so I immediately hit "Don't Show Again".

Expanding

First expansion is 50d or 10 mil.

Strategy Tips

Before expansion, you can fit four medium enclosures in there, and that's basically what you're after. They have to be mediums so you can fit habitations / watering holes in 'em. You can do a max of three larges and one medium (you need to leave room for 2 paths, for arbitrary MFZ rule purposes). But if you're just going to focus on breeding here, 4 medium pens seems like a reasonable strategy.

What that means is you don't necessarily have to clear all that junk out, at least not right away; you might be able to work around some of it.

Enclosure & Amazon houses won't go in here. Aquariums, terrariums, birdhouses, all fine. Mall probably can't but I haven't checked. Terrains will work. All decorations are fine. Visitor's Center won't work, and I assume that means other utility buildings (trading ctr, employees) won't either.
