Social Requirement

In RCT3 Wild, what exactly is the social requirement and what does it do? How do you meet it? The manual does not help. *** Edited 11/25/2005 5:44:35 PM UTC by jeepguy1718***

I'm going to go out on the limb and say that this is how social the animal interacts with other animals [of its species]. I noticed when I started to put a lot of Rhinos together, they started to get pissed off & their health didn't get as high as it should be. So I seperated them into a couple different bins & kept them at a max of like 3 Rhinos per... I checked their social requirement, and found they were only at a 5/20...

...other animals had something more on the lines of 17/20 like the horses or ostrach's... and you can put oodles into the same bin & they'll get along just fine as well as their health will significantly benefit up to nearly 100%.

Basically: The lower the number, the less tolerant they are of other animals in their bin & the less happy they are in their environment.
The higher number, the more animals [of its species] it needs in order for the animal to thrive.

That's my assumption based upon playing the senarios.

Thanks because that Rocky Coasters Scenario with the rhinos was frustrating me.

That's the one whereI was stuck on... although I had a nice sized area for them to roam in, they weren't happy.

It wasn't until I seperated & moved them into single pens that they thrived to almost 100% in just few minutes time. When they were healthy, I set 'em free & then moved the next one and did that until I got all 11 free into the wild.
