# If you've already gotten a contagious curse, can you swap profiles and regain the contagious curse? It says "members".
# Can relics and leaders be unequipped under Curse of Toxicity? It says "cannot be changed".
# What are combinations that are hardcoded to never happen?
# There are a lot of instance with "less" and "more" (less than 100 members, Chains reduces luck when luck > 1, Weakened Contagious increases luck when luck < 2). Is it 'strictly less than' or 'less than or equal to'?

Regular items are the most basic items in Zoo. Rescued animals have a 15% chance to carry a random item.<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|date=2023-11-23|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1177267702902046740|text=base item chance is 15% and <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Shopping Cart]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> doubles}}</ref> These items can also be obtained from [[quests]] and [[goals]].

Each regular item is assigned to a “group” (unofficially known as a “type”), which are weighted differently (see the table on the right).<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2022-12-11|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1051374082781876234}}<blockquote>i really wanna redo how items are weighted tbh 
hmmm 
maybe i will just keep the current [RoboTop] system 
works as follows: 
randomly pick from: [cooldown items, notification items, type guarantee items, everything else, everything else (again so it's 2x as likely)] 
previously there was also a 'sacrifice items' category (items that involve removing animals) but i think its too small 
so this means: 
1/5 chance - cooldown items (🍪 🍕 ☕ 🎂) 
1/5 chance - notification items (⏰ ⏱️ 📆 🪝) 
1/5 chance - type items (🍣 🎍 🌽 🧣) 
2/5 chance - anything else (🦴 🪄 🔮 🪙) 
from there, some items have further weighting (calendar/cake/contract/etc have a lower chance to be pulled)</blockquote></ref><ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-talk|date=2024-05-21|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033674424684625/1242253844478558309}}<blockquote>What's with the obsession over item types 
That's a super outdated thing from like, RobTop 
Types still exist for organization purposes (mainly how items are sorted) and serve as some very basic groups for item rolling 
1/5 for a cooldown item (cookie -> cake, each of the four have their own weights) 
1/5 for a notification item (main 3 + lure) 
1/5 for a type item 
2/5 for anything else 
that is as far as types go 
and they're called groups not types</blockquote></ref> Some individual items are weighted further; for example, if the notification group was chosen, Calendar has a lower chance to appear than other notification items.<ref group="note">In particular, Calendar has a weight of 1, Alarm Clock's has a weight of 2, and Stopwatch and Lure both have a weight of 2.</ref><ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2024-06-03|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1247241981198077965}}<blockquote>'''@firefly256:''' […] what's the chance of getting Stopwatch and the chance of getting Lure?

Regular items also have a quality between 1 and 4{{citation needed}} assigned to them. “Good [[luck]]” increases the weight of quality 3 and 4 items; “bad luck” increases the weight of quality 1 and 2 items.<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2022-12-11|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1051548481774424084|text=good luck = increase weight of quality 3 and 4 items bad luck = increase weight of quality 1 and 2 items}}</ref> Without any luck, all items have the same chance of being obtained, no matter the quality of the item.<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2023-06-28|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1123590858009219093|type=reply to @firefly256}}<blockquote></blockquote>'''@firefly256:''' So what’s the [item] quality related to?

Each regular item is assigned to a “group” (unofficially known as a “type”), which are weighted differently (see the table on the right).<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2022-12-11|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1051374082781876234}}<blockquote>i really wanna redo how items are weighted tbh 
hmmm 
maybe i will just keep the current [RoboTop] system 
works as follows: 
randomly pick from: [cooldown items, notification items, type guarantee items, everything else, everything else (again so it's 2x as likely)] 
previously there was also a 'sacrifice items' category (items that involve removing animals) but i think its too small 
so this means: 
1/5 chance - cooldown items (🍪 🍕 ☕ 🎂) 
1/5 chance - notification items (⏰ ⏱️ 📆 🪝) 
1/5 chance - type items (🍣 🎍 🌽 🧣) 
2/5 chance - anything else (🦴 🪄 🔮 🪙) 
from there, some items have further weighting (calendar/cake/contract/etc have a lower chance to be pulled)</blockquote></ref><ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-talk|date=2024-05-21|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033674424684625/1242253844478558309}}<blockquote>What's with the obsession over item types 
That's a super outdated thing from like, RobTop 
Types still exist for organization purposes (mainly how items are sorted) and serve as some very basic groups for item rolling 
1/5 for a cooldown item (cookie -> cake, each of the four have their own weights) 
1/5 for a notification item (main 3 + lure) 
1/5 for a type item 
2/5 for anything else 
that is as far as types go 
and they're called groups not types</blockquote></ref> Some individual items are weighted further; for example, if the notification group was chosen, Calendar has a lower chance to appear than other notification items.<ref group="note">In particular, Calendar has a weight of 1, Alarm Clock's has a weight of 2, and Stopwatch and Lure both have a weight of 2.</ref><ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2024-06-03|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1247241981198077965}}<blockquote>'''@firefly256:''' […] what's the chance of getting Stopwatch and the chance of getting Lure?

Regular items also have a quality between 1 and 4{{citation needed}} assigned to them. “Good [[luck]]” increases the weight of quality 3 and 4 items; “bad luck” increases the weight of quality 1 and 2 items.<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2022-12-11|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1051548481774424084|text=good luck = increase weight of quality 3 and 4 items bad luck = increase weight of quality 1 and 2 items}}</ref> Without any luck, all items have the same chance of being obtained, no matter the quality of the item.<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2023-06-28|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1123590858009219093|type=reply to @firefly256}}<blockquote></blockquote>'''@firefly256:''' So what’s the [item] quality related to?

{{BadFormat}}

The Garden is a terminal command that gives you buffs and debuffs based on the plant that you grow.

When you plant a garden plant, it starts out as a seedling that matures after 48 hours, and when the seedling is watered the mature time will be reduced by 8 hours. When the seedling matures it grows into a plant that gives buffs or debuffs that will decay in 24 hours. Each rescue gives you a way to water plants which increases the decay timer by 8 hours. The water limit is 32 hours without any water-related buffs and you can plant a seedling every 48 hours.

The command is corrupted / broken at first and unlocked by getting admin and doing <code>$ sudo repaircommand garden</code> while you have ''6 Batteries, 2 Fixed clocks, 2 Wands and 1 Coffee.''

Additionally, Garden skips confirmations when the <code>!</code> character (exclamation mark) is put at the end of the command. (e.g. <code>$ garden plant!</code>)

Each regular item is assigned to a “group” (unofficially known as a “type”), which are weighted differently (see the table on the right).<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-dev-discussion|date=2022-12-11|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033809250603068/1051374082781876234}}<blockquote>i really wanna redo how items are weighted tbh 
hmmm 
maybe i will just keep the current [RoboTop] system 
works as follows: 
randomly pick from: [cooldown items, notification items, type guarantee items, everything else, everything else (again so it's 2x as likely)] 
previously there was also a 'sacrifice items' category (items that involve removing animals) but i think its too small 
so this means:
