Im doing a franchise mode zoo in antarctica right now and the idea was to create everything indoor in glass building like some kind of research station. like big glass buildings connected via glass corridors.
Now i got my starting and dining area and am working on the first big habitat now. its a huge building that should host roughly 10 habitats. on doing my first one i was checking if the shelter area for the animal is big enough but there seems to be a "problem" with doing indoor habitats. because the complete habitat counts as hard shelter area... as its indoors... i mean i have no problem with it, as i dont have any problems when they get offspring etc. but it seems a tad bit unrealistic, as their shelter should offer them protection from the visitors and thats not the case here. also this might trigger weird interactions with animations but im not there yet to try it out.
