Planet Zoo - More Beta Information! 🦓

Terrain blueprints? Awesome and it makes sense since it would be annoying trying to recreate terrain around the existing pieces (like in planet coaster, even though it made sense too it was annoying). Plus I love caves, most of my animals will have a cave shelter :D
I'm just a bit disappointed there's no sandbox mode in beta.

It will give you most of the basics - in the final game the tutorial goes on for a bit longer so you'll get super efficient at managing your zoos!

Perfect, that's all I wanted anyway. The detailed management aspects can wait until official launch, that was a good decision.

Well, I have to say, the beta wasn't what I was expecting initially but I think you guys did a good job of this now that I know how it works. Franchise Mode is exactly how I wanted to play this game and I'm really looking forward to the community events and trading on the animal market.

I really wanted the community event to have a reward or something :( Like an extra animal or something like that.

We're still exploring some options, but it's more complicated than you might think and we couldn't confirm it at this point in time. If anything changes before the Community Goal we'll let you know <3
Also, there will be rewards upon launch :).

It would be cool if we got some kind of award/statue/thingamajig we could rez in our zoos that would give us some kind of advantage, like a percentage boost in guest approval or more visitors that would mean more money for the zoo.
 
I have a question. Are the animals in the trailer that got revealed today the only new animals in the beta, or are there more animals that haven't been revealed yet? If anyone can answer this thank you.

Thank you for the answer! I cannot wait :D
 
Excited. I hope I get better Internet connection till that time, so I can stream the beta... (as far as I know, it is totally fine to stream this, someone already asked that and he/she got that confirmed if I am correct). So, if you want to watch fat metalhead dude with strange sense of humor doing something in this game... then I have no objections, that is, if the connection will be fine :D
 
Small question, why is the beta limited time instead of just an Early Access kind of thing? And how do you stop people from continuing to play once the "Beta" period is over? It's a single player game, so I'd imagine you wouldn't be forced to connect to a server first or w/e?

As long as the game is installed on our PCs, why wouldn't we be able to continue playing after October 4th?
