While I use ai for format and brainstorming, almost all of these ideas came from me.
Option 1, fair Point about too many Passives, maybe i trim two for jp sinks. I was a bit hesitant on the speed gym gains, maybe we ax that in favor of a jp combat buff?
Option 2, I actually wrote this one. Sorry if it's not clear. I was referring to the shark fin, pangolin scales the bear gall...ect. make it its own category, and +2 cap for those like the flower shop and game shop.
Option 3. I dont think this ones THAT hard to fix, limit its use per day, much like the various energy companies. 6 times a day would feel strong but maybe not busted? For the 10 star, what do you suggest? The original idea was to buff all 4 stat debuff temps (smoke, flash and teargas) would thst not be too strong? (Also I dont think 90% of players are rocking an end, welding or motorcycle helmet so pepper spray should affect the majority)
Appreciate the feedback, when home ill rewrite the specials to reflect that.
The Zoo is currently trapped in an identity crisis. It tries to do a bit of everything(hunting merits, cheap drugs, awareness, and a niche accuracy buff) but it doesn’t do any single thing well enough to justify its $300m startup cost or attract high-stat employees.
I believe underutilized companies are unpopular because they lack a focused identity. Instead of a jack of all trades, a company needs to do one thing exceptionally well.
Below are three completely distinct, focused rework concepts for the Zoo. Vote in the 14 day poll above on which direction you think fits the game best, and let me know your thoughts on tuning in the replies!
Option 1: The War & Mercenary Focus This layout strips away the travel/crime fluff and turns the Zoo into the ultimate combat utility company for ranked warring and mercenaries, keeping and expanding on the current 10 star accuracy perk players like.
• 1★ - Alpha Drive (Passive): +10% Maximum Life. • 3★ - Thick Hide (Passive): +10% Critical Hit chance • 5★ - Rabid Frenzy (10 JP): Heal to max HP (Max use 6 times per day) • 7★ - Pack Tactics (Passive): +3.00 Global Weapon Accuracy modifier. *(Moved to 7★ to give early utility).* • 10★ - Vicious Bite (Passive): +15% Hospital time inflicted on targets you defeat.
Option 2: The Smuggling & Exotic Trade Focus ("The Black Market") This layout leans into Crimes 2.0 and animal contraband, turning the Zoo into the premier choice for active flyers, city finders, and international traders looking to cash in on upcoming travel market updates.
• 1★ - Wildlife Reserve (1 JP): + 50 Happiness. • 3★ - Poacher's Eye (Passive): +25% Hunting reward & +15% Hunting skill gain. • 5★ - False Bottom (Passive): +3 Travel Capacity (Restricted exclusively to "Exotic/Illegal Animal Product" items).(see comment below for examples) • 7★ - Eye of the Tiger (Passive): +70% Awareness for finding items on the city map. • 10★ - Apex Smuggler (Passive): +25% to +50% item sell value when trading/selling illegal animal products to international markets. (Assuming travel 2.0 goes that way)
Option 3: The Chemistry & Toxins Focus ("The Menagerie") This layout treats the Zoo as a high-tier support and disruptor company, allowing employees to manipulate medical cooldowns and heavily buff or defend against temporary weapon status effects.
• 1★ - Beastial Vigor (Passive): Reduction to addiction from stat drugs (ketamine, speed, vicodin ect) • 3★ - Harvest Toxins (5 JP): Generates 1 random low-to-mid tier chemical/medical item (Pepper Spray,First Aid Kit, Morphine etc.). • 5★ - Metabolic Purge (15 JP): Decreases your current Medical Cooldown by 1 hour. (Max use 6 times per day.) • 7★ - Endangered Defense (Passive): Immunity to the effects of standard temporary weapon debuffs (Flashbangs and Tear Gas have no effect on you). • 10★ - Neurotoxin (Passive): Pepper Spray has its stat debuff potency increased by 1.5x.
The Torn business landscape is brutal. While standard meta companies like Logistics, Lingerie, and Adult Novelties stay packed, a handful of company types have been left to gather dust in the wings. Today, I’m kicking off a series focused on breathing new life into these forgotten industries, starting with the least utilized company type in the entire game: The Theatre.
If you filter out the abandoned ghost towns where directors have completely gone MIA, Torn currently only has 12 active Theatres, and a mere 5 of those have managed to hit the 10 star mark. It’s an industry on life support. Let’s dive into why the curtains are closing on Theatres, and look at some realistic suggestions on how we can overhaul their specials to make them a truly viable option for directors and employees alike.
This is a mid tier company, looking for 6 to 15 staff at around 20-60k primary stats. It takes 50m to start one, and currently the BEST one is bringing in 49m per week.

First of all, lets start with the abysmal specials.
Starting with stagecraft, tale as old as time. Nobody wants the small exp for jp. My suggestion, scrap this entirely.
Next Dramatics this is your only real outlet of jp, notice its not a guaranteed stealth, just the best it can be. I love the thematic tie but we need more to get people in the door. Suggestion: Make it a guaranteed stealth if you win, NOW muggers are very invested.
Then Masked, honestly modern wars don't even use classic spies, everyone has a script/database source pulling stats that are close enough without paying for 100 spies. If you're weak, no one cares about your stats and if you're strong not much the average can do about that. My suggestion, scrap this entirely.
Now Twinlike is so on the nose, i feel my suggestion is obvious, give us a healthy bonus for impersonation. Its thematic, its fresh and people love to chase the new crimes. This gets people in the door, the staying power depends on the profitability of impersonation. This can stay.
Finally the capstone, Disguised. Honestly i'm on the fence with this one. It's alright but is it enough to draw and hold high level players? i dont feel it.
My suggestion:

Swap places with a target player for 1 hour. Any attacks, bounties, or hospitalization attempts initiated against you are redirected to them instead (or vice-versa).
There we have it, a stat booster, a muggers dream, a tie in to Crime 2.0, a travel bonus and a truly unique and chaotic ability. If you made it this far, give this write up a thumbs up! If you have any suggestions id love to hear it, especially an alternative 10 star effect. I considered a few including giving bad spy info (10-100x your stats reported) but i came back to my point that i don't feel many wars rely on them anymore, though it may be funny vs a buy mugger who checks his prey.
Yesterday while viewing this profile the system logged me out of all devices. No big deal i just logged back in. Except now i cannot interact with this player, says to login. Only affects my PC, not my phone. I can work around this by finding his name on forums and interacting off the mini menu off his name. https://imgur.com/a/YavHiV5 https://www.torn.com/profiles.php?XID=2404979
