What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

[Hugo98]

WIP pampa habitat for rheas and giant anteaters (I know the anteater technically don't live in the pampa AFAIK but they do live in other more open landscapes in SA). Credits to @ZSHplays for the fantastic pampas grass!

I'm building a bridge that leads to the African savannah region.
I don't want to be rude to that culture, so doing research takes a long time... But it's still going to be a weird building from someone's perspective

Looks really nice! Love the sightline with the castle in the background

Thank you! I’ve actually changed the layout yet again but hopefully I’ll be happy with it this time.

I did a bat cave

 

[KoenZoo]

Nice one! It is cool to see more people using the walkthrough exhibits in a different way. And with those flames it really has a magical feeling.

Thanks! It's based on a real cave I've been to that was lit like that

This is during the day. Does anyone know methods how to make indoors darker during day?

I think you can only do underground whatever you want to build in a darker way, there isn't a different way. And that was a very advertised PC2 improvement, the option to build real darkness indoors.

Bring on PZ2...bring on PZ2...

I have read somewhere that the more walls you use, the darker it gets, but I havent tested that. So maybe several layers of walls could help?

I'm afraid it isn't true. I've just tested it just in case but I wasn't very hopeful.

Aw, too bad. I really wish there would be other way than having to bury the whole build in terrain.

Just switch the time to night whenever you look at it or want to take screenshots. It's not a perfect solution but it works.

 

[The Aardvark]

I created the minimum habitat for any animal.
It's an 8m x 4m space, it includes bedding, a water fountain, and small food enrichment to provide for the animals' basic needs - well, other than space.
The thing is: since this is the minimum functional habitat size, barely large enough for a keeper to drop the animal off, the game cannot calculate the traversable area, and so the animal will be stuck perennially calculating its navigable area. Meanwhile, the space bar will be completely full

[BTW, this is hard mode franchise]

So, is that an easy hack to beat the challenges and campaigns?

It probably is

Currently building a hippo house with indoor and outdoor enclosures for the hippos and flamingos.

 

[KoenZoo]

Nice! Please show us the final result. I still want to build a hippo exhibit, but lacking inspiration.

This is a brilliant concept.

 

[Swjosdotschka]

I shifted the flamingo enclosure slightly, from immediately in front of the entrance to the right hand side.

Funny, I build something similar in Uniameri. And in other Zoos. Flamingos in front of large classic buildings really got something.
