No pain for unlimited money

Press $ and shift and hold them and watch your money go up rapidly! But to make sure there's no pain in getting millions of money make sure you do it at the beginning of the game when you have no enclosures otherwise the fences will break and your animals will escape and then you'll have to buy new animals and new fences which will drain away your new money!!!!!

Unlock the Triceratops

Unlock the Unicorn
Name one of your exhibits "Xanadu". This will unlock the Unicorn. I should also note that if you name a brand new exhibit using this cheat, it will crash the game. Everyone who's done it with a new exhibit has experienced this, so keep it in mind.

Easter Egg: Yellow Brick Road

Place a Lion, a Tiger and a Bear in the same exhibit, and you will unlock the 'Yellow Brick Road' footpath. It's not cheap though, at $100!

Hex Cheats

1. Open config.ztd with winzip.
2. Open Economy.cfg with notepad or wordpad.
3. Search for cZooDooRecyclingAmount and change the number to whatever you want. This will be the profit for every recycle you do. Normally you recycle around 8-12 times per month.
4. Also, look for cKeeperCost which should be 800. This is the salary you pay your zoo keepers. Change it to something lower and your expenses will decrease dramatically.
5. If you want more money at start of the game, edit zoo.ini with notepad or wordpad and find a line called MSMaxCash. Change that to whatever you want and you can start out with a couple of million.

In the last scenario, when you have to breed Giant Panda's, normally you can only choose two. If you recive the message that you can adopt the two panda's, just pause the game. Now you can adopt as many Giant Panda's if you want. REMEMBER! If you turn the game back on, you can't adopt Giant Panda's anymore, so adopt them all when the game is paused.
