Yeah it should work for the maybe slightly smaller in size animals considering its a hard frame at the top. Obviously we don't have heatloss modelled into the game but nothing stopping you from trying to simulate a real indoor shelter
Planet Zoo: Twilight Pack and Update 1.11 Out Now! 🦇

Oh no, you did update the real education boards, but you forgot to update the corresponding images which we can use on the tv screens (for example on the large or small tv). Most of those pictures are still the old version with the errors, only two or three were actually fixed
Oh definitely. It unfortunately won't work with animals that are too big to fit into the frame. But I'm already super happy that it works for some animals like the okapi.
Copenhaguen zoo also has the curtains for okapis
Now all we need is more desert animals!
Made me just realize that it won't work for Giraffes and Elephants. Probably also not for Hippos and Rhinos. Would be nice if we could get a bigger Version for those in a future UpdateWon't smaller hitboxes be better? I mean: The ones we have now are 4 m by 4 m. Please try to visualize that! It is huge! Like 2 "normal" doors on top of each other and 4 "normal" doors in width.
P.S: I really don´t like these building for giants pieces.

Pretty sure that is not it. All you gotta do for those snakes is make them hang around their shoulders and that's it, just as static as all the other animals they take out.
So agree with you. I hate those utterly unrealistic scales we gotta build with ingame to make things work...4m doors for a tortoise etc. just doesn't look good.
Yeah it really is huge, I have put the pvc curtains in my static avaries and I still need to half sink them in the ground so they are not stupidly big
for climbing animals I know a solution to make way smaller gates......
Smaller Hitboxes would be great. At least for the really big Animals because it takes so much Experimentation Time to find out how big a Gate needs to be for a Elephant, Giraffe, Rhino or Hippo and then it often just ends up looking bad.
In Real Life a 500kg Horse can easily walk through a normal Door Frame but in the Game it would probably need at least double the Width and Height
I think the Educator should at least hold the Front of the Body with one Hand while the Rest is on the Shoulders and from Time to Time they should show their Tongue and move their Head
So, I just made a little test in the game and it unfortunately doesn't work for giraffes, elephants, rhinos and hippos. For the giraffes, it make sense because they are taller than the frame but the others should realistically be able to go through it. The problem is their insane hitbox. What's funny though is that elephants and rhinos put their head through the PVC and even make the curtains move with their head. But they never go through it. But it can look like they are inside and thinking about going outside before changing their mind
Oh that's a shame, really wish at least some of the bigger hitboxes got reworked for this. Even the tapir needs about a 4m gap to enterSo, I just made a little test in the game and it unfortunately doesn't work for giraffes, elephants, rhinos and hippos.

If Frontier could do something to cancel the hitbox for these PVC curtains so elephants, rhinos and hippos could traverse them, that would be so amazing. I don't know if that's technically possible but we can always make the suggestion. @Tim Smith @Eltanin Casciani.
You will be happy to learn it works for the tapir though.
That is because the Malayan Tapir carries around on so much shame for being a lazy reskin...
WooHoo! Excited for Release Day!
