terrain

These are screenshots I took in the 2.0 client between November 2015 and April 2016 (in chronological order):

I'm still rattled about having to load up 3.8 to have any proper playground to fly around in. Odyssey planets are boring to explore, and generally boring all around because they have very little depth. realistic or not, for them to be interesting they need drastic changes in Elevation to...

I have not played the game for a while and noticed the large square maps were added. First off I will say I absolutely love the idea and size of them is just freaking perfect. The issue I have is with the borders, I like to make parks with lots of forests but there is always a gap from the...

I think any above-ground vegetation should count toward varying degrees of forest. On desert maps it's so pleasant to not worry about forests... but then on the others you realize even with the humble trait, only one, MAYBE two sauropods can fit into an enclosure unless you vastly expand the...

So this is something cool I found out about the game's terrain mechanics. I was building an enclosure in my Germany park to house some compsognathus. It is an open space between the park's hotels, so I thought it would be cool to have a small dinosaur enclosure there. Once the fencing was done...

The animals get enriched by each other, but their terrain needs are completely incompatible. Horse needs: Camel needs: And they share habitat in nature, so the horse's snow and sand needs should be much more flexible, as well as the camel's grass needs.

Is there a way to straighten out paths across dips like this? Like maybe there's a modifier-key just like when you hit Z to straighten out path-angles?... Because the thing is, you only get two options in a situation like this, which aren't really great. You can just do it like this, with...

Hi I'm a mac user so using planet zoo via NVIDIA GeForce Now, I'd like to build a zoo on the side of a mountain but can't work out how to use custom tif files in sandbox. Can anyone advise how to do this or..., how to easily create a mountainside slope in sandbox. The terrain drag / raise...

I think that Tempskya, Calamites, Ginko, and even Seed Plants should count towards Forest score, even if it's only 1 or 2 levels, as they ARE big trees. It doesn't make sense that only local trees can be used for Forest level, IMHO.

Hello folks! In my other thread, I already shared a bunch of heightmaps I created. If you want to create custom heightmaps yourself but aren't quite sure how that works, you have come to the right place. I had way too much time on my hands and prepared a small tutorial. I hope someone will find...

Hi everyone! First of all, please excuse any grammatical or orthographic mistakes I make – I'm not a native speaker, unfortunately. Furthermore, I'm a long-time lurker and first-time poster on these forums, so I sincerely hope I'm doing everything right. With that out of the way, I'd like to...

Would love to be able to choose which terrain paint i want to use in a specific habitat or zoo area. For example, I have a zoo in a tropical zone so the grass colours are that nice bright green which is good for all my tropical animals, however i want to put a grasslands area in my zoo, and the...

Tried my luck at brawling with settlement, turrets killed my ship in few seconds. If i'm supposed to use SRV for that then how do i supposed to even land on this rock? Turrets aggro range is even further than it's landable zone. I can understand that this settlement has powerful defenses, but...

I really wish for the use of all terrain brushes on all biomes, would like to have the soil from tropical on my temperate map, this would be a game changer (at least for me ;))

I'm starting to get my "VR wheels" finally, so I can drive my SRV and actually enjoy it in VR, but even in 2D I never enjoyed these very lumpy, hilly, uneven terrains that I usually find on planets. I much prefer flat "lake beds" where I can go fast and not get bounced around. I've found a few...

I just want to ask that in future updates you can add something like biome grasses or biome terrain becouse when you have zoo in for example in Europe every you exhibit looks very similar becouse we can add something like savana grass or savana terrain for zebras or more mud type of terrain for...

I would like to have more options of grass, dirt, stone, etc. For example; dry grass for savanna habitats, or darker grass for jungle, darker dirt, etc. They could work as actual terrain types and be just cosmetic, I think that the floor of the different habitats looks so similar.

One thing I always thought was missing in Planet Coaster and now in Planet Zoo, is the ability to randomly generate a map. From perfectly flat to rough mountains. There could be slider options for: vegetation, hills, valleys, rivers, lakes, etc. There would, of course, have to be limits...

Enjoying using the Terrain Stamp Tool to create enclosures, but please increase the max size allowed, I would love to have a zoo based inside a single giant ball for example.

Hi there, Apologies if I'm being stupid and have missed an obvious answer anywhere, but I'm struggling to actually find the correct words to even Google this. I love the gamemodes available in this game, and I especially love the Campaign - I'm halfway through the very last scenario. What...

Hey folks, by opening a new zoo you always start with a huge, empty and flat map. All in all this is quiet nice, since you dont have to fight with terrain editing at the very start. Otherwise, especially for temperate and cold bioms, it would be nice to be able to choose different layouts. I...

Hello ! The game is really great ! Here are some things that I think could be fixed : -Sometimes the animals are stuck in boxes for no reason. -Some animals won't go eat or drink even if they are starving and the food is next to them, don't know why. -That would be really nice if there was a...

I am hoping that after the beta when we go do different continents like Asia we will get different rock tools etc... For example snow leopards live in rocky, snowy environments but I don’t think brown mud infused rock is the type of rock you see thousands of feet up in the Himalayas. I believe...

I would like the option to disable terrain collisions on paths. Ich wünsche mir die Möglichkeit, die Geländekollisionen bei Wegen auszuschalten.

In four of the current ten existing maps (if you exclude the Isla Nublar sandbox map), there is a fourth slot for an additional landscaping paint tool. Sand is for Isla Muerta, Muerta East, and Sanctuary, because they are coastal maps. While shale is for Isla Pena because it's an isolated map...

Sorry if these suggestion have been asked about before. I have two suggestions. It would be great to have a way of removing paths quickly, for example, using the multi-select tool to delete paths within an area. Creating square or rectangular holes in the terrain, making it easier to have...

Has landing on planets became harder? Seems like since the update even if the map shows the ground is flat you cannot land and you have to find very small spots where you can land. It does not make sense to me. If the ground is flat let me land. I have not been playing for a bit except for...
