Need zones

The need zones feature can be found in the tools section. It provides a convenient way of showing in what need zone animals currently are. To use this feature to its full potential, it is recommended to use it while playing.

How it works

To choose a reserve, tap the drop-down section and tap the reserve you are playing on from the list. To select a time, tap and move the appropriate handle for either hours or minutes. Choose the one you also have in the game. If you then tap play, the feature will try to 'keep up' with the game, so it always shows you the current schedule based on your in-game time. To stop the feature from keeping the time up-to-date, tap stop.

You can filter the list of animals by choosing the classes you want to show or hide. Classes that are not available in the reserve are greyed out. Tapping the appropriate class will enable or disable animals with that class. Based on this, the feature will show them in or hide them from the list.

As the feature runs automatically, you will probably not need to see the handles for the time as well as the drop-down for the reserve all the time. To hide the controls, tap the interface icon beside the actual time. The interface will shrink so you can only see the current time and the list of animals.

Entry

Each entry in the list contains an animal name, class, and schedule. The schedule is shown for the current hour and the next 2 hours.

You can see the animal's detailed information screen by tapping the entry. You can also create a new catch book entry by swiping the need zones entry to the right. More information about the catch book is here.
