Here just a little story of my zoo called Zoo Topia.
It all started when i inherited this plot of land in Asia to build a Zoo.
I started small with just one Shared Habitat with Ring Tailed Lemurs and Mandrills and some exhibits.
After 6 years I decided to expand and added a new Habitat with Timberwolves to the Zoo.
10 Years later I was scrolling through the Market and noticed this cute Grizzly Bear couple so I decided to invest in them and buy them for the Zoo, build them a nice Habitat and brought them in. Not long after they had 2 cute little baby Bears.
4 Years later I was again scrolling throug the Market and noticed another couple, this time a couple of Aldabra Giant Tortoises. Bough them and made them a nice Habitat to live in. Was I suprised when she popped out 6 Babies.
6 years later I decided the Lemurs and Mandrills both needed their own Habitat so I build 2 new Habitats next to each other with a fence between them so they could still see each other since they lived together for so long i didnt want them to miss each other.
I redid their old Habitat to make it suitable for my next investment, African Elephants, bought this cute couple and soon they had their first Baby. I remember the male very well because his name was Shaka and he lived until he was 93 years old.
8 years later I added a couple of Reticulated Giraffes and Plains zebra's to the Elephan Habitat.
12 Years later I made a new Habitat and bought some Gharials also a nice couple.
9 Years later I made another new Habitat and added some Bairds Tapirs.
15 Years later I made a Habitat and apped some Indian Peafowls.
19 years later I made a new Habitat for some West African Lions so I could contribute to an action setup by some people from the Frontier Group to help repopulate the earth with West African Lions.
20 Years later I made a got myself this beautifull new building called Vivarium from the Workshop made by Lizz( link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1874100273 ) to house my exhibits so i moved them in there.
10 years later it was time to make a new Habitat for my African Elephants, found a nice looking building called Elephant / Animal Viewpoint on the Workshop made by se@lix's ( Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1876493156 ) and added that to their new Habitat. Then it was time to move them.
1 Year later unfortunatly Shaka my beloved male Elephant died, I think he missed his old Habitat even though he clearly loved the new home.
3 years later I reused the old Habitat that was our first one we ever had and that was now the previous home of the Elephant but is now used to House African Buffalo's.
20 years later HUGE ALERT we have a problem, one of my Timberwolves got stuck in a box and can not be unboxed or moved, protesters surround the habitat 24 hours a day. So I had to build them a new Habitat and get rid of the old Habitat. Problem remains though cause the Timberwolf is still stuck in the box and now also one of my former employees (yes former because i fired him) also got stuck trying to move the stuck in the box Timberwolf. I fired him so he wouldnt cost me any money just standing there. I decided to make a new Info and Balloon shop there with some Toilets at the back and the Timberworlf stuck in the bo and former employee inside the empty space of the building they are housed in so they are hidden out of view.
And so we came to what is now year 143 and still going and growing..
At the end of the week I'm going to be making a video with an overview of the simple but fun zoo.
I'm not that good in creating buildings yet but slowly learning.
Hope you are all having as much fun as I have because hours fly by fast when I'm playing this game.
I can't wait for the full release.
Thank you Frontier for making this game a reality, I use to play Zoo Tycoon 1 and 2 was even an Alpha and Beta tester for those games and mod maker so this game was a long time dream to come true. Again huge thanks for making such a wonderfull beautifull looking game.
ps. The RAIN LOOKS AWESOME!!!!
