Wide paths


Sometimes, in Zoo Tycoon, guests form crowds. All those crowds can make them unhappy, and can even slow down your computer. The cause of this is most likely that the paths they are walking on are too narrow. In your zoo, make sure that the paths are two spaces wide. That way, there will not be so many crowds. However, sometimes you don't need all that path because that part of the zoo isn't as popular. So, here's what to do:

When you start your zoo, make all the paths one space wide, but leave one space on each side of the path, leaving room for wider path. Do this for about six months in the game. By the end of six months, there will most likely be plenty of guests. Notice where the crowds are in your zoo, and in those areas, make the path one or two spaces thicker. That should help the crowds. For low traffic, you can always make the paths one space wide. The biggest crowds are usually by the entrance, endangered animal exhibits, and anywhere where they can hork down food.

In one sentence: If there are crowds in your zoo, make the paths they walk on wider.
