Planet Zoo 4th Anniversary & Update 1.15.2! 🎂
- Thread starter Lydiah Moon
- Start date
I saw elsewhere here that people were talking about Frontier going thru a hard time but had no clue what they were talking about."Frontier Developments announces layoffs 'following a period of disappointing financial performance'" you get some articles if you google it
Yeah...sucks for the people there. Hope they get thru with as few layoffs as possible.
I've got some hope. What I saw was two games kept up a profit, PZ and JW2 supposedly. So hopefully those teams should be fine.

You didn't need to bring down the requirements, but we very much appreciate that!
Also thanks for telling us the cut off amount so some of us (aka me) aren't releasing 1000s of animals
Will I need to re-do the challenge? Or I'll get the rewards for what I've already done?Hayo PlanZo fam!

Thanks Frontier, for clarifying the situation. It probably wouldn't have stopped me releasing as my storage gets full very quickly when I am actively playing a zoo rofl. I am sure I will easily fulfill this despite already releasing about 50 animals already today.
Fellow zookeepers, I will be putting quite a few animals up for trade ( working through my A and B zoos at the moment - storage full so waiting for trades to go through ) before moving on to the next. If there's a particular animal you have been having a hard time getting hold of I can see if I have any I can trade out

Apparently someone didn't clean the server and it was full of animal hair!Hayo PlanZo fam!

This happens more often as a pet owner
Thank you!!!
I get that people are frustrated and such, but given the circumstances I would not be surprised if the missing answers are intentional. Mini strikes maybe, who knows. A little mindfulness on customer side right now wouldn't harm.
I appreciate lowering the criteria, as I spent a lot of time the first time around and without this I probably wouldn't be able to(nor have the desire to) do it again.
Crap happens. Thank you for the effort to meet the players in the middle on this.
I’m having trouble with rotating my shelters that were made in the steam workshop those little green dots around the axis are problematic I tried to disable them but it didn’t work it even messes up my pride rock for my lions when I put in the downloadable shelters it’s crooked. I get it straight can anyone help me with a solution.Hayo Zookeepers,
Wippi Abbonibo or Happy Anniversary! This weekend we're celebrating the 4th Anniversary of Planet Zoo, so of course we've got some exciting new things for you to enjoy in game
Free update 1.15.2 will be featuring some brand new Anniversary content that is available right now, just update your game! Are you ready to see what other exciting things we've got planned for you? Without further ado, lets get into what's going on for this year's Planet Zoo Anniversary celebration!
Let's start off with a bang by introducing our brand new friend - meet the Collared Peccary!
View attachment 372781
The Collared Peccary evolved from pig-like ancestors in Europe and now have a significant presence in North America. In game, the Collared Peccary will be able to forage using the forage box and also be able to roll about in mud! We can't wait to see what kind of habitats you build for them in your Zoos. They are also very social creatures living in herds of 5-15, so make sure to add a bunch of them into your habitats!
Of course, what better way to celebrate a special occasion with none other than balloons! We've added a variety of four animal balloons which will be part of this free update. Designs will include the Orangutan, Black & White Ruffed Lemur, the Red Deer and the Collared Peccary. Just like the other balloons in game, guests will be able to hold them and they will be a permanent addition to the game, which we're sure your guests will love!

This time last year for our 3rd Anniversary we celebrated the launch of the official Planet Zoo Merch Store, so it only seemed right to make sure everyone celebrates in style again this year with a merch store sale. This sale will run for a limited time just for the Anniversary weekend so make sure to get your Planet Zoo swag now up to 25% off!
View attachment 372783
Of course we've got another limited-time celebration happening in game this weekend with a 24 hour Community Challenge from 3rd-6th November! In this special event, you'll receive a boosted animal that has an 80%+ in any gene, in return for every 5 animals you release (with a 1 in 50 chance of having Piebald or Albino colouring!) You will also gain a complete Avatar outfit for every 20 animals released - so both you and your animals will look, oh so stylish!
Make sure to stay tuned on all our social channels as we'll also be hosting some giveaways over there too! You can find us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and now officially on TikTok!
As always we can't end this post without thanking YOU, our amazing community that have been here and supported Planet Zoo for the past four years. Planet Zoo wouldn't be the same without each and everyone one of you, so thankyou!

You could try getting a random build piece and disabling the turn angles or whatever they're called. Then, get the shelter and it should be disabled
I tried that and it didn’t work.
Oh, then I wouldn't know what to do. Sorry
I think I fixed it I had to reset the axis rotation
