About this converter
Planet Zoo from Frontier uses two monies. Cash pays for paths and staff. Conservation credits pay for listed animals and come from releases and market sales. This table puts 12 Frontier release and sale rewards on one scale, from red ruffed lemur release at 45 to perfect West African lion at 10000. Low rows read lemur release 45, Nile monitor hatchling 50, lemur sale 90 and tortoise 90. Mid rows read red panda 300, Bengal tiger 300, monitor brood low 600, cheetah 900 and lion typical 900. Top rows read monitor brood high 1000, elephant 1200 and perfect lion 10000.
How to use it
Pick two animals and the unit in the top row, for example lion and red panda with credits. The three boxes below stay linked, so editing any number updates the other two. One box holds counts of the first animal, one holds counts of the second, one holds the total in credits. Try 1 perfect lion against red pandas to see the 33 times gap.
Release rewards vary with fertility, age, genes and repeat releases of the same species in a short time, so rows show typical documented rewards, not fixed shop prices. Market sales depend on other players in Franchise mode. Cash enrichment items from the other table are not used here. Daily login 100 and greeting 20 give credits but are not animals and stay out. Repeat release cuts returns. Juvenile, sterile, elderly and sick animals cannot be released. Exhibit animals cannot be traded for credits.

Can any animal be released?
