At the moment I don't have a tip yet because I don't know what you are planning. What kind of zoo are you building? Will this be a new or an old zoo? Because this has a lot of consequences for the road infrastructure that you can add.

No, I'm not going to start working on the zoo. I do plan to do something else with a few animals.

I'm planning to build a Zoo in a German Town that's already very old. The Town/City will have a little Piece of a Wall that is still a leftover Part of the original Town Wall from medieval Times. A River will flow through the City and the Zoo. The Tapir House in the Zoo is planned to be a old Building that is under Monument Protection (does this Term even exist in English. If not, here's a little Explanation: after it's built, I won't be allowed to change anything about the Exterior Design). I will mostly use the new Germany Building Theme from the Europe Pack. Didn't really think about if the Zoo should be supposed to be old or new. The Zoo won't really follow a specific Theme. It will keep Animals from all over the World. The first 5 planned Species are Pygmy Hippo, Babirusa, Fallow Deer, Reticulated Giraffe and a Hybrid Tapir which will hopefully be replaced with a Breeding Pair of Malayan Tapirs. It'll also have a "Duck Pond" close to the Entrance

The problem with old cities is that little can be changed. This is because of the monumental protection of the buildings in the city (I know what you mean by this). So the roads are somewhat narrower and cannot handle a lot of traffic. This also has consequences for the parking lot. A large parking lot will be difficult because there is not the space for it. So this would be a parking garage or a shuttle bus with parking outside the city.

So my tip would be. first build the infrastructure around important buildings. So think of the zoo, but also, for example, a church, station or park. then fill the remaining areas in the city with some less important buildings. Also think of some new buildings here and there. Because some buildings were bombed during the second world war or there was a fire.

A Parking Garage might have Potential. A Garden could be built on the Roof of it, where Guests can relax and enjoy all the Plants and of course also the Birds and the Squirrels

A Restaurant or some smaller Food Shops could also be placed there.

Forgot a planned Animal in the List of planned Species. The Giant Otter. Its outside Enclosure will also include a Part of the River, but don't worry about the native Fish that might need to swim to other Places to lay their Eggs. There will be a Tunnel in the Barrier underwater, so they can still swim to the other Side as if the Enclosure wouldn't exist

List of currently planned Buildings and other Architecture:

Parking Garage
historic Tapir House (not sure yet what kind of Building it might've been in the Past)
remaining Piece of the medieval Town Wall
Wine Bar in the Basement of a Building (accessible from the Outside through a Staircase)
maybe a Church and a Synagogue if I'm able to build them
Delivery Area (where the Zoos new Inhabitants and Food and other Things will arrive). Maybe it will be connected to the Parking Garage
Entrance (of course) with connected Enclosures for Babirusas and Pygmy Hippos
various other Animal Houses

In this update I detail the other side of the pedestrian/bicycle bridge with foliage.

I have also given the cycle path a number of street lamps and the cycle path has been merged.

This is just unreal

. And it shows what a brilliant game planet zoo is, you can basically build anything with it. Now I also feel like trying to build a part of a city. Very curious about your progress though! Please keep posting!

Thank you

Yes, Planet Zoo and Coaster is definitely a game where you can definitely build anything. I'm curious what kind of city you are going to make.

To merge the two roads I decided to build a roundabout. I'm already pleased with the roundabout itself. The road that leads to the bridge does not,
so it will definitely be changed.

Even though it's just a Road, it looks really great.
I still didn't start the City around my Zoo yet due to the Europe Pack not including any already finished Half timbered House Walls

And then the roundabout and road are not even finished.
You can also make "Half timbered House Walls" it yourself or download it from the steam workshop

Already thought about looking up some References online and creating a Building Set Blueprint myself. It's always hard building those, so I hope I'll find Time and Motivation for it

That's right, it doesn't look easy to make. But you can be proud of yourself when you have completed it, and other people can also use it.

I have updated the roundabout to a turbo roundabout. This makes it even safer than a normal roundabout because drivers have to decide in advance which direction to take on the roundabout. Once at the turbo roundabout, it is no longer possible to change lanes.

I stop for a moment with the roundabout. Because I want to add the new objects of the new DLC first.

The first step with the new DLC is adding the decals. As you can see I have placed very few decals on buildings. I did this for a reason because most of the buildings are just being built.

The oldest apartment complex has received many decals. I did this because the building is on the list to be demolished. As a result, little maintenance has been carried out lately, which means that a lot of moss grows on the roof.

How did you make the pedestrian sign (the one hanging on the pole)? I am in need of a similar sign for my zoo. So if you would upload it to the workshop i would be really grateful

I'm actually using a billboard for this pedestrian sign. I would like to add this to the workshop, but I don't know if I can do it this weekend.

Karen F · Jan 20, 2022

I would subscribe if you upload it, but it is fine if it is not this weekend. I don't need it right away.

In this update I have also been busy placing decals. I placed the decals where green deposits can form on the concrete. I placed the most green deposits on the shadow
side because this is where the moisture stays longer.

Really amazing, are you also from Belgium or do you live in the Netherlands?

Thanks

I'm from The Netherlands.

I also placed the pedestrian sign on the workshop.

In this update I have placed objects from the new DLC in the hotel. This includes lamps and candles.

I have decided to place some employees on the lower two floors of the hotel. Unfortunately, the employees are still wearing their old work clothes. Hope the new ones can be delivered soon.
