Habitat Gate Variation - Ladder

[AndyZoos]

One option I'd love to see added to the game is a way to put in alternate habitat "gates" for different habitats. Specifically, I'd like to see the ability to put ladder rungs (or something to that effect) down the side of a "pit"-style habitat so that keepers can just climb down, rather than needing to add a gate.

Obviously there would be limitations (e.g., not being able to place it in water or needing the habitat wall to be set within a certain range of angles).

Might not be feasible, but it would be a good quality of life improvement.

It would be handy for certain builds.

For sure. Basically, this would be helpful for any build that involves a pit. For example, with some of the smaller animals like meerkats or tortoises it would be really nice to be able to have a walkway all the way around (like they have in real zoos) instead of having to break it up with a keeper gate.

True. More access options in general would be good, actually. At my local zoo the old siamang island has two points of access - one is in the night quarters, which the siamangs get to by swinging from the island to the hut (it used to go over a guest path but they closed it after an escape incident - nobody was present or harmed but I think they considered it a failed experiment), and the keepers could access through the usual doors, and the other was a small boat across the moat so keepers could get onto the island.

We know that the engine doesn't support more than one habitat gate, but it would be nice if we could include alternate access points. It's kind of annoying that for small animals you need a space big enough for keepers to get in so every area will be cleaned.

I secound all of this, i would love the ability to have the ability to put down ladders for staff to efficiently connect areas and making it possible to build on a building without having to put down a big and ugly stairway.

Would be great for pit builds, like in classic zoos.

I believe this would be added in some sort of aquarium expansion or planet aquarium, but i hope we will be able to use it in other instances too.
