Hi guys,

I’m starting to make some progress with my zoo, it’s at a stage where things are in place but it isn’t too big to change yet. I’ve worked on an African themed section of the zoo and I’m looking for some comments from you guys on ways to improve what’s in place already. I know its my project etc but I’m happy to make tweaks or suggestions! I’ve posted a link to some screenshots on imgur so hopefully you’ll get a view on what I’ve made so far!
Thanks!

Here's a suggestion but you should feel free to ignore it because your existing zoo is already much better than mine! Your paths stand out a lot at the moment and seem quite plain - how about some covered walkways or Sun shades? It's something I keep meaning to do more of but never pull off!

Oh no, I’ll definitely take it into account! I’m not massively sold on the brown wooden path and you’re right, it does stand out a lot!

Any other thoughts anyone?

I thought I would maybe add a little space between some exhibits and add viewing house/info centre for some animals!

I would reccomend using steam photo option to take better pictures. It is easily done by pressing F12. It will save the screenshot to your disk and you can acces it this way:
In the Steam client open the screenshots manager for the game and then click "Show on disk" button. It will open a file browser window in the screenshots directory.

Also, you can hide the UI by pressing G in game.

Other than that your zoo seems pretty nice so far.

Thanks for that tip! Does it usually make the image small enough for direct upload?
