Minion Zoos!
Have you been looking for a nice (and humane) place to put all of your lovely minions when they aren’t helping keep your pet happy? Luckily for you, Minion Zoos are now live! You can find your minion zoo by visiting the games page under Collection.
You can send your minions to your zoo by choosing your minion in your inventory and hitting the “Send Minion to Zoo” option. The option to move all from your inventory has been removed! It was tied to minions that had stats for battling, which was not released with this, so it was not moving all minions to your collection.
You are more than welcome to have multiples of the same minion in your zoo, and unlike other collections, you can actually remove your minions if you want! No one will judge you if you have an entire zoo full of chickens or adorable food related cuties like the I-Love-You Rainbow.
You can even show off your impressive zoo to anyone you want! They’ll be listed under the “Extra Userinfo” widget on profiles if you want a quick link to give to friends. On the public view page, your minions will be sorted alphabetically. However on your homepage, you can view them by item name or time in zoo.
If you had minions in the zoo previously during the Gold Account testing, you'll be happy to find them already settling into their new home!
And if you don't have any minions for your zoo, you could always stop by my shop. I have plenty of minions in need of a good home!

I know my comments late because I've been m.i.a. for a looking time but this is great. Except for the fact I have hundreds that have been in a shop/gallery now needing to move lol
Cool, though my minions are staying in my vault until I don't need to do this one by one. Or they can rot in there forever too XD Either way.
I regret not reading fully and taking my stash of minions out of a gallery. Can't be bothered to put each one in the zoo individually.
Can't wait to use this feature. I have 2,867 minions. I think I'll have to wait till I can get a gold account. XD
It's taking so long switching my 500+ minion collection over from my gallery. :( I hate that you have to be a gold user in order to quick stock them. I'm giving up on doing it one by one for tonight. This'll take a couple of days. =/
I'm glad this isn't like the other collections ^_^ It's nice to have a different format every now and then. I am going to have a collection with 400 Grufumbies AND NOBODY WILL STOP ME
I know this is probably pointless to ask buuuuuut, is there going to be a trophy thing for the minion zoo, I am really missing the trophy thing, we do so much work when it come to our collections, achies don't always cut it, BUT, if no then no. :(
According to my minion checklist on SubetaLodge, I have 1,665 minions in my gallery. Phew, this is going to take a while! :) Really glad that the Zoo finally went live and now I can get my minions out of my gallery :)
@Bleak_Light Hmmmm pages through notebooks full of ZT stats and info I recorded in middle school The evidence seems to support these facts! Penguins are the most ruthless zoo animals known to man! Even more reason we need categories so 
doesn't eat all the 
Also echoing the need for a stacking option - they still take up far less space (image-wise, number of pages) in a gallery.
@Mackenzi -
Playing Zoo Tycoon taught me if given the opportunity, penguins will attack and devour polar bears, rhinos, and several different big cats... also dolphins will NEVER save drowning guests. And dinosaurs prefer to eat maintenance men over any other workers/ guests.
Maybe I've been playing wrong?

Will there be an option to stack minions? I have only one of most minions and thennnn I have 100 Fruit Cups and I don't want them to take up pages. I'd love to have a little x100 under the minion instead.
Cool! Now for some user created categories and sorting options? ^-^ Playing Zoo Tycoon taught me if you put them all in one big pen, some of your zoo critters are gonna have a bad time.
This is great, I always get lots of minions and don't know what to do with them other than sell them or keep them in the vault, and now I have something to do with them
So, I'll have to put my 300+ minions in the zoo one by one? And it's Vesnali?
Prepares to hoard all the flowers :P

Thank you so much for doing this!! I had so much fun today moving over all of my minions from my vault. It's so nice to have a place where I can look at and appreciate them! Thanks!!! <3
love this, but whew. Too tedious to move them all by hand! waits hoping for a stocking option like the shops
This is a great idea and I love how you can remove them :'D But...I still kind of like my Minion gallery, so I think I will stick with that for now... ^^;
So this renders my Minion gallery obsolete? That's kind of relieving, now I don't have to make a new one. Please do work on a mass-add function, though. I don't even have that many compared to some, but the thought of moving them all one by one just has me going NOPE. New category for quick stock, maybe?
This is cool! Will be better than having a Minions category in my gallery. I love that you can take them back out and that they aren't a permanent collection like the plushies and beanbags.
Weee! Except for no mass add button because it was faulty :(
Guess my critters stay in gallery then, because I don't plan on moving 5k+ minions one by one LOL

Also I just really want to know of all of those big minions in the item directory! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME @User not found: _@
Also I see that minions currently don't stack - can we have the option to stack them or not please?
This is cool and all but I'm not moving anything in there until there's a mass add option haha. Another move all button perk for GAs perhaps, like the plushie/beanbag collections?
Just moved 1600 into the zoo and I'm too tired to do anymore today. It was great though, I got enough flowers for about 300 coins! :D
Was excited first but as long as there is no mass option I'm going to spare my joints the torture of moving my 1000+ Minions. ^^;
This will be a pain... but still I like it very much. I'd love if one day we will got categorys. Can you really live with the idea that the cat parts of our zoos eat up the chicken parts of our zoos? :P
oh nice, good thing i have multiples of most of my favourites so they can be in the pretty gallery, the minion zoo, AND attached to a pet buahaha
you'll never catch my hoarding ass
you'll never catch my hoarding ass
This is great! But still I really hope there'll be a mass add feature of any kind in the future!
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo!
Yay, minions! :)

You have 819 items on hand.
Sigh

by hand* from my vault to the zoo. Still, it at least frees up my vault space for other things.
Yesssss.
It's not the battle minions, but I'll take this, I looooove minions and haven't been sure what to do with my rather large (and still growing since I can't bring myself to frag the poor ones too cheap to sell, THEY'RE LIVING BEINGS, I CAN'T DO IT) collection.
Now I have the perfect place and don't have to feel like I'm horrible person for shoving them in my vault.

Since I can take them out again, I might use it - but not if I have to put them in one by one by hand. ... oh, and as someone else mentioned, I also have some minion-like not minions in my gallery. Hm, I guess, they'll stay in the old gallery then after all. Just don't know, what to do, once I stumble upon ones I'd like to add.
Arrrrg, that whole sh.. is freaking me out.

I wish we could quick stock our minions. LOL.
Since we can take them out, it might be a good idea... pretty please.

DAMNIT, I missed my chance to move all of my minions at once. D:
Aw well. Good opportunity to pick up lots of flowers, I guess. xD

Firstly, thanQ! ~ Mmmm can we have a stacking option? & can there be categories or a way to move them around like stickers & can there be a search bar in there? I'm so greedy, I know. I'm sorry. But this has the potential to be a great feature; a showcase instead of just a holding locker ~
I just want to thank the staff a billion times for releasing this during Vesnali. I have so many things that involve loading pages to do this week!
Are the minions going to stack like they do in galleries? Won't this get a bit image heavy with, say, 250 pictures of the same minion over and over? You know, not that I have 250 of any one minion or anything... 0:)
AAAAAAH! Finally! Finally I know what the heck I was doing when I was plunking minions into! And something to do with all the minions I couldn't pass up because they had cute names... Count von Fluffington anyone? Everything except my thirty comatose lizard minions.
Could we get it so that Minion Zoo has its own widget and shows our minions by the names we named them, similar to how we can show off our pets in our profile, PLEASE?
So no one will judge me for my thousands strong snow fairies collection? Can I just judge myself instead? lmao
Interesting, I can see that some of my minions retained their names, but only from the public view, from my editing page they have their minion names. For example, where I can edit I see my Lino just called Lino, but using the link on my profile I go to the public view and his name is Othello.

@StarShadow Go to the games page, it's listed under collections! (The image is a dancing chicken, if that helps :D)
@Amber
Thanks. That's odd, it wouldn't let me add it so it must have done so automatically somehow. But I don't see it listed on my account any place. Where do we find it without having to go to our profile every time.

I miss the naming option too, that was awesome. Probably my favorite part of the minion zoo tbh.

@StarShadow I see it listed on your profile! It’s right under bobbleheads and above trades. You have 17 minions, currently!
I tried editing my profile to add the minion zoo to it but it won't let me. Guess that's OK because I don't really have any interest in this anyway, I just keep them in my gallery. Thanks.
My hoarding minions payed off! Although manually moving 1000+ minions is going to take a while..
Moved over my minions! Pretty excited about this! I'm waiting on the mass add to move over my 10,000 snow fairies. ;)
Never make this a battle thing! Never!! xD
Never make this a battle thing! Never!! xD
I'm actually okay with manually moving minions, even if only because each click is another chance for a flower
...I tried. 220, and I'm already like 'nope.' Nopenopenope. DO MORE LATER. /tenderly cradles hand, weep...
I was wondering if there is a minion limit for the Zoo?? Also my move all button is missing. Is this because i have reached some limit?
There used to be an option to name your minions; will that be added back? You know, so I can have nine cats and name them Jasmine, Dexter, Angie, Loki, Bad Leeroy, Fluffy, Fluffy Junior, Fluffy Senior, and Jeff.
On the whole, I like it. But there is a major shortcoming. Right now I have a lot of my minions sorted into categories such as Birds, Bats, Equines, etc. Without categories I really don't want to make such a major move.
Well I got my minions moved over the other day so... maybe I should put them in the Zoos. >.> Dunno yet. Dx
@Amber That would be great! I'm sure I'm not the only one who has tones of minions to move and really don't want to do it by hand (been there and done that with other items and it's a real pain)
Any chance of getting customize-able categories? (Such as being able to separate by color/species like in a gallery)
Amber
STAFF
@sd_dreamcrystal I don’t want to get your hopes up, but it is something that’s being discussed right now (for all collections, not just minions)!
@Amber A bit less of a pain than actually having to go to each minion page and moving them XD (especially when you have over 1k minions lol). Anyway will there be a plan soon for a mass move? If not then nope all 1k of mine are staying in gallery XD
Amber
STAFF
@sd_dreamcrystal I mean it would’ve been a pain anyways because the move all option wasn’t working properly. We didn’t have stats for a lot of the newer minions that have been added over the past few months, so things like that would’ve have added to your collection.
I have a gallery just for them... im so happy and glad that now i can put them in a zoo... thank you =)
crud well now this is going to be a pain in the tail to move all those minions without a mass move orz.. On another note @Amber, it's still not going all the way down for me.. it did for a second then I refreshed and nope still not going down
...wow I forgot about this being tested so I forgot it was a thing and now I'm pleasantly surprised with something I didn't realize I really wanted. Thanks Subeta :D
Ugh why the heck was the move all minions to zoo removed? I just moved a crap ton to my inventory..............
Amber
STAFF
@Newt @User not found: sd_dreamcrystal @kiri I just edited the news post. We removed the feature of adding all because it was tied to the battling aspect (realized that a second too late). Anything that didn't have stats for the minion battling that was in testing wasn't added with the feature. SORRY GUYS.
I know I had put minions in my zoo a long time ago, when the battling with them was first introduced.. but now, I don't see any. Where are my minions?? >.>
"Move all from inventory" only seems to move one of each type of minion at a time, or am I doing something wrong?
Also, will there be categorization later on? :v

I have a lot of minions, this is cool!
The page doesn't continue beneath more than about 40 of them, I'm sure that will be fixed.
Also a counter would be cool. Like however many unique minions. :D

I do only have two issues with the Minion Zoo... One is that the background (like a lot of pages on here) doesn't go all the way down with the minions.. Or more like the table background for where the minions are placed doesn't go all the way down.. The second issue is that move all doesn't actually move all minions.. I have several winter fairies that won't move all at once and in order to even keep moving things I need keep refreshing the page while move_all is in the url..
Wow! So very glad it was decided to release it like this!! <3 While viewing my collection as others would see it, though, I can only see the first page - getting 404s on the rest. Is it meant to be this way, is it still being worked on, or do I need to take this to the P&B forum?
I dunno if anyone said it yet but does the quick move function not add in all the artifact, game prize ect minions? Mine didn't and Im not sure if its a glitch or if they have to be added manual for everyone lol
@Lantern:
Can't remove items from those collections, so this one's different. It could be a place for collections that are too large to fit in the now-size-limited galleries if it weren't restricted to minions only.

Because that is literally what the plushie/beanbag/sticker/gourmand collections are for,

@Parisa I love this idea and there are quite many plant-like minions that would make a great garden. that'd be so cute
So exciting!! I was just thinking what a shame it was that I was gonna have to abandon my gallery for Every Minion Ever. Awesome job! :D
I'm debating on whether or not to move my minion hoard into or not, I liked having a description for my minions, which is why I had them in a gallery... If we could have a way to add a short description for our minion zoo I would do it.

@kbbob WHO KNOWS! Somewhere down the line, battling could come out. Right now, it's just a cool place to show off your minions. I love that it isn't a straight up collection like where you can only have one of everything. I WANT JUST A LOT OF TACOS IN MINE AND CHICKENS. and other cute things.
oh no. oh NO. i would actually collect minions if i weren't funneling all my funds into battling.
the only way i'll crack is if you guys release a similar thing for flowers/other botanicals, like gardens we can show off to other users :D

I might try this out, though I'm wondering if there's going to be an item ID sorting option, or if that's possible? Still, I'm glad this is out of beta now so I can further empty my gallery.

@Frankenchokies Battling wasn't released with it right now, that isn't to say it won't happen in the future. :)
Oooh I like this over using a gallery for my lovely Minions! Though now I can't have a cute name for it lol
I guess I missed a thing... so there's not any minion battling anymore? Will there never be or are they working on it as a separate thing from this?
Is this going to be a 'real' collection, or just minion storage? :sob: Happy either way, because chicken hoards are my dream!
btw the User not found: [npc] Maybel is SOOO adorable. I wish I could have that kitmonkey sooooooooo bad! ♥️ <3 ♥️

This reassures me, thank you Maybel.No one will judge you if you have an entire zoo full of chickens
oh neat...this is awesome guys...i get minions and don't know what to do with all of them...i hate to fragmentize them.
Yessss!I'll move mine in when I'm on pc, although I'll miss the couple of p!ushies I has hidden in my minion gallery
That's awesome! While you guys are listening to what people want, how about private wishlist categories? ;D

@kbbob We'll introduce that at a different time. :) Right now is just a place to put your minions and show it off to people
This is definitely welcome!
My only question is--does this have anything to do with all the cool butterflies and caterpillars and other insects that are in the directory (but not for Esther's shop)?
I really want those moths!
