Landscape the whole park?

[TheGaijin87]

Okay so i started franchise mode and made a small zoo and now got all my resreaches done. now i wanted to start the zoo over, delete everything, landscape the whole zoo and start making habitats.
well the problem comes with landscaping the whole zoo.

how do you landscape the whole zoo? i mean i know how the tools work and can do it in habitat-size, but when i tried to make a mountain that takes up about 3/4 of my zoo with a heigth of 50 to 100m it would take me literal hour just pressing that stupid terraform button. is there any way getting huge landscape changes more quickly than having to terraform for hours on end?
and i have opened a second zoo which has the exact same boring flat standard landscape. so i guess i have to terraform my whole zoo in every zoo im opening to get a more realistic landscape rather than all-flat...

tips would be appreciated. and for the devs to increase the max brush size by 5 times.

Yes, you plan your own zoo/park from ground up - that's partof the fun for most of us - but we do it in parts while the zoo/park get's bigger. In career mode (after tutorial) you'll havea structured landscape, but you'll see it's moredifficult to fit in what you like to build when you are restricked to that landscape. If you don't like to shape the landscape on your own, this is currently the only way to have a prestructured map, or you just leave the given landscape flat if you want to.

well the problem with prestructured parks in career mode are that they are in career mode i need them in franchise though. and if u have a vision for the whole park how it should look like one day its kinda demotivating when you see that it will literally take ten hours or more just to get starting. and do it one by one is difficult as you will need to delete all buildings and paths the further you go and have to start from scratch again. id rather have a finished terrain and work around it. or just a bit bigger landscaping tools would be nice

Yes maybe bigger ones would be helpful, I understand it can be overwhelming at the beginning, but this way you can't get stuck with a idea. Building your perfect zoo is a progressive process where your creativity makes up new ideas how something could look while you landscape - maybe for your first zoo leave it flat, look what the tools can do for you, don't overwhelm yourself in first place, when you get more confident with it you will have fun by planning this landscape thing and the habitats. Maybe you'll watch some YouTube videos when your creativity gets stucked and don't forget - it's a progress... their is always something were your mind thinks "oh, that could be that way - I change it".

I know it's not exact the answer you wanted, but maybe you area littlebit to hard on yourself what you can accomplish and be very proud of (because YOU did it). You can do it!

In challenge mode you can select the career mode parks to play if you have them unlocked. Maybe that helps.
