Episode 32 - The Swamp
A walkthrough Alligator swamp with a shack for Bullfrogs & Terrapins. This is my favourite habitat I've built for ages! Obviously the walkthrough is on a raised path The bullfrogs & terrapins live in the shack at the end of the path.

Great build! Like how you incorporated two exhibits in the Swamp.

I have encountered a similar issue you mentioned in your video, with guests and zookeeper being feared and running away once they enter my alligator 'walkthrough' habitat. I figured the alligator has a sphere (e.g., with a radius of 1 meter) of fear 'aura'. After I placed my paths far away enough (by raising it a little), I didn't encounter that issue anymore.

Good to know, thanks!

Episode 35 - A Home For Chimps
Today I finished the Primates area of the zoo with a habitat for Chimps. If we ever get any really small primates like Marmosets etc then I still have some space reserved for them, would LOVE to have some in the zoo!

Episode 36 - Reptiles Of The Desert
Built a little reptile house in the desert today, I joined 3 exhibits together with the aid of some mud panels!

Episode 37 - South American Giants: The Beginning
It's Brand New Area time at Tekton Zoo! I'm going for a mix of traditional cheesy zoo theming and Modernism. The concept is "what if the builders of Machu Pichu had discovered reinforced concrete rather than being wiped out by the Spanish?". This is the Giant Anteater habitat, more to come!

I love that custom wall and I also like that you decided to make a themed area that isn't over the top but very pretty and effective nonetheless!

 

[ZSHplays]

Thanks RG! The over the top bit comes next haha!

Episode 38 - Giant Otter Sky Bridge
I'm 2/3 of the way through my South American Giants area featuring terraces for Giant Anteaters, Giant Otters & Agoutis (implied) with 2 underwater viewing areas & a glass viewing bridge for the Otters. Jaguar is next!

Welcome to Tekton Zoo! A Modernist, city zoo built in franchise mode. This is the first zoo I've actually designed myself rather than re-created. This forum was the first (and for a long time only) place that I shared London Zoo 1985 and the comments & encouragement I received on here were such an inspiration to me, thank you!

Tekton Zoo is inspired by the work of the Tecton architectural group, designers of the Penguin Pool at London Zoo along with the original habitats at Whipsnade Safari Park & Dudley Zoo. I'm hoping this will make it look fairly unique, it will be almost entirely built with plaster pieces, metal & glass. There will be a new build on YouTube on Saturdays at 5pm.

hi bro，can you upload to steam?

 

[Jackchen]

i like your zoo very much ，Hope to play it，Waited almost a year

 

[ZSHplays]

When it's finished I will do! Not too long to go now haha!

Episode 39 - Capybara!
Well, the Wetlands pack came at just the right time! I've replaced the implied Agouti habitat with something a bit larger for these guys!

Episode 40 - Land of the Jaguar
The final habitat in South American Giants is done! A big area for two Jaguar with two shelters for separation and a raised viewing gallery for the guests.

Episode 41 - South American Giants Tour
The whole area is now complete! Real time tour vid below as well.

Episode 42 - Siamang Island
I love these guys so much!

The new enrichment item is difficult to integrate into a natural looking habitat because of the metal look (at least I think so, haven't played with the new pack yet) but I think it fits fantastically to your Tekton style.

 

[ZSHplays]

Yeh I thought so as soon as I saw it! I've seen people colour it a dark red/brown which makes it sit a lot nicer into most habitats.
