Hayo Zookeepers!

It's beginning to look a lot like....a Planet Zoo update! It's time to celebrate exciting new additions coming to Planet Zoo. Introducing ✨ free update 1.12 ✨ which is heading your way on 13 December. 📣

Keep on reading to find out what you can expect in this new update.

Guided Tours

It's time to give your guests the VIP treatment with the new Guided Tours coming! Guided Tours are a brand new way to offer guests more in-depth information about your zoo and your exhibits. Tours are personal and will be conducted by an educator, they will then guide your guests through the zoo and educate them with lots of wonderful facts about your animals as well as life at the zoo. Guided Tours are also completely customiseable, which means you will be able to plan out your guests' journeys through your park by placing Tour Points at desired destinations. This means guests will be specifically guided to the habitats you assigned in your tour for them to admire and the places they stop to recharge their needs. A unique and unforgettable experience each time!

The VIP treatment also means more opportunities to earn additional income for your zoo! Guests will have to pay an extra tour fee in addition to the zoo entry price, and will also spend money to take care of their needs during tour breaks or after, with their desire to spend relating to how well they rated the tour as well.

Diorama Mode

Inspired by one of our Planet Zoo community members, RudiRennkamel 🐫, we're introducing the new Diorama Mode, a new type of terrain for you to create your very own dioramas! You can select this new terrain type in sandbox mode and it will provide you with a blank diorama that you're free to build upon as you'd like. You can then upload your diorama to the Steam Workshop to share it with the rest of the Planet Zoo community!

Bulldozer Tool

We've also made removing things from your zoos a little faster by adding a Bulldozer tool in update 1.12! It's now faster than ever to remove large amounts of scenery, paths and objects in your park. You also have the ability to mix and match what type of object you want to remove with the bulldozer. Combining the functionality to remove multiple types of items at once using one tool is sure to make the experience of building and rebuilding more satisfying and streamlined.

As always, these exciting new features in Update 1.12 come with various fixes and quality-of-life additions, which will be included in the full patch notes upon release.

We'll have more news for you soon, but until then, join us later today 7:00PM GMT for a very Special livestream where we will also go over in more detail what's coming in the 1.12 free update. We'll be live on Twitch and YouTube - we'll see you there!
 
I just wake up and see this 🤯
I'm so excited and I want to see more, awesome, also the new bulldozer tool is a big help on JWE2 so thanks for that
 
Awesome! Really looking forward to the guided tours, it is going to be fun to plan them.

The bulldozer tool is something many people wanted so I am glad they are getting it and the Diorama mode is probably not something I will use, I am more into the gameplay and managing in economy mode rather than building, but glad that builders will have some new fun mode.

Thanks!
 
Oh cool! The guided tours sound great, and will be fun to watch little groups wander around our zoos!

The bulldozer tool is exciting too, definitely going to help us remodel our older areas.

Looking forward to finally being able to join a livestream on time! Thank you for making it more accessible to us Aussies! See you tomorrow morning, bright and early 😁
 
Looking forward to the bulldozer tool the most!

The guided tours got me thinking...with 3 different educators options now available (standing, roaming, and guided tours) we REALLY need one way paths. This would help out so much. PLS Frontier next update. 👀

See you at the stream, can't wait! :D

Im honest i hope there will be some more things in the free update, because aslong as the bulldozer tool will be the most exciting Part of the update i wouldnt call it exciting.
Its nice that deleting stuff has become easier, but i hope for atleast 1 or 2 more animal behaviours and maybe another tweak to management gameplay, as is it seems like quite the downgrade quantity wise from the last update.
Ofcourse these arnt the patchnotes so im still hopefull
 
Hello,
The update looks interesting. However, I'm a little disappointed that there's no brachiation coming for orangutans and about blueprints that still can't save paths (which is for me one of the biggest possible point of improvement in the game).
