Yeah thanks, but I tried this already and it didn't work. I'll remove the glass walls once more and hope it works this time.
What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

Day 2: The Wombatening
Basically did what I said I would - I finally introduced real wombats, made some changes to fix up traversable area (including redoing a burrow entrance), integrated the bristlecone pine pieces and added a few touches of wombat scenery. I also added a burrow cam given I forgot to yesterday. Now for wombat image spam:
Bestest animal that ever PZ'd.
Also had a gander at the new tropical Oceania map given that's where I plan to build my next zoo - the mountains were bigger than I was expecting, but at least it looks a lot more like the rainforests of far north Queensland (where I'll set my zoo) or New Guinea than the original tropical map did. I've written up some rough ideas in regards to different sections of the zoo and the species within them:
Subject to change of course, the zoo is meant to be fairly small and lack a lot of big ticket/popular animals.

The last zoo I worked on before going on my hiatus from the forum over a year ago was also set in north Queensland, but I never got much further than a few entrance habitats there and now that there's a more suitable map there's no better time to try again.
I normally find release day a bit overwhelming but I haven't played in a couple of weeks so had a quick go at a wombat enclosure.
I am now completely obsessed with wombats. All I will do is build zoos full of wombats.
Shelter doesn't work because the game thinks wombats are the size of white rhinos...

I played planet parking lot for 2 hours.
Joke.
I started a new Franchise zoo on the fantastic new Asian temperate map. The 7th Street Park and Zoo. We'll see if I ever figure out how to properly upload screenshots. Currently the zoo contains an access road, a parking lot, and a semi-usable playground area. There several placeholder exhibits as well as racoons in the playground to encourage guests to enter the area (and also because I think racoons are hillarious).
Next I'm hoping to work on an enterance building/education center.

I've been keen to test out the new bats for myself and didn't want to wait to start a new zoo to see them, but it was only today that I realised that they'd fit perfectly into an African mini-zoo I created after the release of the Africa Pack. Heavily themed and not meant to be realistic, all of the habitats and buildings in this zoo were completed but I never got around to decorating the paths and working on the surrounding landscape before I lost motivation, so as of now it sits half finished. The zoo already has a small mammal house that doubles up as a nocturnal house, but given there was no way I could integrate them into there I decided to make them have an outdoor aviary that can only be accessed by walking through the mammal house (via the aardvark outdoor viewing area).
Only used the basic mesh shell and built around that to make it appropriately match the theming of the zoo. I really love the bats!
Because I've never shown off this zoo before, here is a quick tour:
View over the whole zoo, surrounded by barrenness
Two members of the zoo's very large African penguin colony
Southern white rhino and nyala mixed exhibit
Reptile house with Nile monitors
View inside the reptile house
Small mammal house, with the fruit bat aviary visible out the back
Small mammal house interior
Fennec foxes
An aardvark entering the indoor area
As an additional note, the animals finally not floating on top of drinn grass is a godsend.

Not in Planet Zoo but for Planet Zoo, I remade the NZO (National Zoo Organization) logo. We have gone international and are now the World Zoo Organization (WZO):
I am also making alternate info boards for animals. I may upload them on Nexus for players to download and use for their screens:
The format
By the way, outta curiosity, does anybody have any high quality animal pics where the animals look like they're in the wild? If so, I'd greatly appreciate using them in my project. Thanks

Well you could use Google , plenty of wild animal pics. Could be hard to simulate a wild looking pz picture for tons of animals
Just a suggestion but I always think signs look better with in-game pictures. I always find photos of real animals immersion breaking.
Not if it's an real zoo
. Obviously I use irl pics since I make irl zoosDo you not put animals in?Not if it's an real zoo
Well yeah of course, I try to match everything about the real zoo including signs as much as I can. When in realistic kind of habitats , it feels like a real zoo so I match the atmosphere with realistic signs. Although if I'm getting into it - the more zoos I make the more realistic it gets. I have went from making a habitat in several hours to several days
That's actually what I'm looking for, just my specs are lower so the animals don't look good
What animals you looking for? I can easily make some over the next couple days
Well, imma go by DLC. Start off with Deluxe and head down. Base game will be last, due to the amount of course.
It's quite a project, but if you're willing to help, then I really appreciate it
Yeah I'm sure it will be fun. You get high quality pictures , I get to finally use animals I rarely ever use . I've had the deluxe for years now and still haven't used the pygmy hippo
I've used it exactly once and have been desperate to do so again, but it's never quite fit in with the projects I'm working on.I've had the deluxe for years now and still haven't used the pygmy hippo

that's a great Title. Lets me think that I've missed the Opportunity to name the second Version of my Research Center Arctic Project 2: Electric Boogaloo
Nice Enclosure. I really like the Building
That's a really nice Enclosure Design. I like the Fence
Big Animals Area with Elephants, Rhinos and Wombats
Makes me realize that I didn't think about a Parking Garage or a Parking Lot yet for my next Zoo despite planning so much. I think it should work if I put Guest Spawners into each of the Cars I'll put in there, so the Guests will arrive more realistic Does anyone have Experience with having so many Spawners? Can it cause Problems?
Looks absolutely awesome. If you'll also design the Surrounding Area it will be perfectI've been keen to test out the new bats for myself and didn't want to wait to start a new zoo to see them, but it was only today that I realised that they'd fit perfectly into an African mini-zoo I created after the release of the Africa Pack.

I quite like the Idea of Zoo Organisations for the Game that work together to help each other to get AnimalsI wish I could help with that. Built some really nice temperate Forests around some of my Zoos and a really nice Rainforest near my Dingo Breeding Center in Thailand. Might be able to repair my Computer relatively soon if I should be successful at getting the Job I'm trying to get
I'll see what I can do when my PC works
Not today, but in the last two sessions, I started the entrance area of my new project Deekelsen.
