I feel like when I'm designing a food court to eventually be replaced with a restaurant, I should be easily able to look up the building footprint (5x3, which i had to view by going into sandbox mode) and plan around it...
In addition, for some reason ZT2 restaurants don't fill the bathroom need (no toilets?), unlike ZT1 restaurants, so I also have to factor in the footprint of a max capacity toilet stall...
I spent most of my childhood playing ZT1, so I have its strategies better memorized... but it also helps that ZT1 was very easy for people to datamine and document the in-game stats of every animal, building, etc in the game.
Did anyone here play Zoo Tycoon (2001) or Zoo Tycoon 2 as a kid? Did you ever complete the campaign modes for either?
I want to unlock everything in ZT2, and it doesn't have easter-egg style cheats to unlock things the way ZT1 does...
