Hi all, while we wait for launch I made a tutorial about making guests happy and spending money in your Zoo and how to educate them about the animals they see and why this helps your Zoo in the long run. Would you mind telling me how good it is so I can change it before games launch?

From the description of the video:
In this tutorial video for Planet Zoo I show you how to make guests, visitors, happy and spending money in your Zoo. I cover the topics of guests different needs and how to satisfy them and I explain the Education level of guests and how it is linked to making a profitable Zoo. If you click on any visitor to your Zoo you will bring up his information card. On this window you can find guests status, resent thoughts his needs and education level. There are 5 bars in the guests information card representing:
1. General happiness,
2. Energy/Resting level,
3. Hunger, food need,
4. Thirst, drink need,
5. And the need for a bathroom.
The separate education level bar shows you how much are the visitors learning about the animals they see in your zoo.
Click to expand...

Thank you in advance!

I thought you would like to know you misspelled happiness at 0:56.

Overall a very solid video that I am sure new players will find helpful. Only thing I personally might change to clean up the video besides the typo would be having the text load in from top to bottom instead of having the next line push the previous row up. It isn't as clean and makes it harder to read, but it isn't that bit of a deal do to how long the words on on screen.

Oh, thank you for spotting that!

Hmm, interesting and I was thinking that keeping your eyes on the same spot while the text changes was easier to follow then to have to move your eyes for the next line of text. Just goes to show what a second pair of eyes is worth! Thank again!

the only statement I would make (and feel you should do also ) is this is how you do it in BETA we don't know this is how it exactly works in the game. by taking thing that work in the BETA and comparing to planet coaster mechanics you will be quite close but at the end of the day you only tested the bits that frontier wanted testing in BETA they may be happy with how some things operate and either lessened their effect or removed them altogether

I would just state this is how it worked in Beta cross referenced to Planet coaster

Good point.

The thing is that this is my BETA of my tutorial, you are my beta testers are are giving me feedback how to make a better tutorial once the game is launched. I do plan to make a version 2.0 of all of my tutorials once the full game is released and since I will be use the released version in the videos I will update any gameplay mechanics I talk about with the fresh and up to date information from the release version.

And on that note, not a lot here is subject to change as far as I have gathered from the BETA and developers posts.
