Note: Do the code in freeform before you have any fences. This will give you free money without the downside of deteriorating fences, and will not have any effect on your ending score.

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "zoo.ini" file in the game folder. Scroll to the bottom of the file. The tenth line from the bottom, should read "MSMaxcash 500000". Change that number to any desired money value. You can only use this trick for freeform mode.

Hint: Easy money:
Use high breedability animals, such as warthogs or velociaraptors, and make them as happy as possible. As soon as they give birth to offspring, sell them. This is useful when they start to overpopulate your cages, or if your losing money.

Hint: Easy Best Exhibit Design award:
When you make an exhibit, place three large rocks (which satisfy most animals, but not all --the warthog which is happier with more) and put all the foliage in one corner and a few others scattered through the exhibit but quite a bit apart. If you clump it all in one corner, once the animals are in the green bar with happiness, with thier foliage stop. Doing this with two or three exhibits will easily win you the award.

Hint: Stop guests from shocking themselves and cure crowding:
It can be a nuisance when the guests leave because they ran into one of your electric fences. To stop this at the expense of a little money, before you make a fence for a new exhibit, outline the area with a decoration fence (which are usually at the bottom of the fence list). Make sure it is facing outwards, not towards the exhibit. Otherwise, when you make the fence too close it will build directly over the decoration fence. When you make the normal fence for the exhibit, face it inwards and they should be almost in the same location. Make sure there is a hole in the decorative fence for the entrance to the exhibit. Once this is done, not only will the guests no longer shock themselves but they also will not be crowding the animals. Note: This will not work from the inside. Even with decorative fences inside, the animals will not only be enraged but will still shock themselves by simply trampling it.

Hint: Scaring guests with dinosaurs:
If you want to be mean, then buy two or more big dinosaurs that are the same and place them in an electrified exhibit. First, cover the door with a massive rock so that the guests cannot escape. Then, pick up guests one by one and drop them in the exhibit until there are hundreds of them. The best way of getting the dinosaurs to chase guests is to make them angry by placing lots of trees and rocks that they do not like; and put shops, paths, and benches in them. Then, put the dinosaurs in a different exhibit and wait for the guests to settle in and buy things. Once they have settled in, put the dinosaurs back in their original exhibit and watch them run. Also, the blocked door means that they cannot get out. An angry dinosaur chases the guests better.

Hint: Easy fence repair:
Instead of waiting for a maintenance worker, just buy the same kind of fence and replace the deteriorating part. If you are low on money, pick up the worker and move him to the fence. However, there is no guarantee he will work on it -- they will just walk away.

Hint: Use any fence with dinosaurs:
To use any fence to hold dinosaurs (and save money), decrease the elevation of the exhibit two to four spaces down and surround it with any fence. The dinosaurs will not get out. Decreasing it by four spaces is Recommended for T-Rex, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus.

Hint: No rubble or trampled terrain:
To stop a dinosaur from making rubble, use rocks that they like as a fence to keep them out of part of the exhibit, then put trees in that part. Also, for Zoo Tycoon animals, block off part of the exhibit then put terrain that can be trampled there. In their part of the exhibit, put Dirt, Sand, Brown or Gray Stone, or Snow. You can also use water as a fence if the animal cannot swim.

Instead of blocking off trees with rocks, you can also go to landscapes and build a small river in the dinosaur's cage. Then, put all the foliage behind the river where the dinosaurs cannot reach. By doing this, they get the same amount of foliage but you do not have to keep cleaning up rubble.

Hint: Apocalypse:
Corral a group of T-Rexes in a large cage. Make sure they are well nourished. Allosaurs also work just as well, and may work even better when with T-Rex. Wait until they are full grown. By this time you should have a good sized zoo. This works best on large maps with lots of statues and objects, and quite a lot of customers and staff. If you want to save any one from the apocalypse, make a large electrified exhibit and put the animals you want to save and a few commodities such as stalls, rest rooms, trash cans, benches, and finish it off with some plants and grass. The chosen ones who get to be in the "anti-apocalypse" cage will be living well, while out side this lush environment is a wasteland full of despair and misery. To even further increase the entertainment value of all this, the Allosaurs and T-Rex will eat the guests and staff.
