What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

I decided to re-vamp one of my first Franchise zoos. Back before I had much skills at building and etc. I've left them alone for months b'cause they're fairly unattractive. But this weekend I decided I'd see if I could rescue them.

Original Zoo - can't really fix the Very Square Layout but I can improve the look a bit. It's tropical (not my favorite biome) and I'm going to practice with the bamboo and the ruined temple stuff.

Working on the walk through peacock habitat first.

Finished Peacock walk-through - need to finish up lights and a bit more foliage and possibly some signage.

Then I decided to re-do the immensely oversize komodo dragon habitat, and split it into two - to add the Barbarusa.
The original habitat

The new barbarusa is on the left and the komodos are now on the right. Still a huge habitat for both of them. I've created a ruined structure that guests can go into (in the back), to view both the komodo side and the barbarusa side. The guests don't like it a ton but it also hides the keeper access to both habitats.

The Komodo Dragons have a little ruin to eat and rest at

So I wanna start working on the next habitat for Animal Real later and wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions? I don't really have any specific plans in mind yet, only that I don't want it to be a super highly rated animal because it's only the second habitat of the park. So yeah, if you have anything you'd like to see/suggest please let me know, I got all the dlcs as well, so any animal works :)

I'm currently building my new Zoo and I'm working on my first Babirusa Enclosure ever, so it might be nice to see how another Player builds a Enclosure for this Species

Zarpa is now finished.

The park is too big for my laptop and it's time to move on. Zarpa, the Zoo of Alicante (Spain) has 384 animals from 84 different species and four themed areas: Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia.

Thank you all for your nice comments and your support during all these months. I started the zoo with the release of the aquatic pack and I've modified the zoo many times with all the new things we have received in 2021. However, if I wanted to incorporate the latest additions like the new deep wtaer requirements, the animal talk seating, the shop counters and the restaurants... I would need to redo again the whole zoo. My poor laptop would explote then.

But fear not, Zarpa will come back in the future, I will do someday Zarpa 2 from scratch, fixing all the mistakes I've made and putting into practice all what I've learnt with this big project. However, I want to start new projects first and see what the new year brings to all of us in this amazing game.

All the overviews and the habitat pictures you have posted here looked great.
I'm also jealous that you have finished a whole, large zoo, I couldn't do this yet haha :D

You could make a Thread that you link to the Workshop Description and in the Thread you could post the custom Images, so People can download them to see the Zoo correctly

Looks really nice. Way better than my Enclosure (but I've only started that Zoo and didn't build in a long Time, so it might get better)

I use them as a substitute for wild boar in Murmeldorf. Let me know of a screenshot of the habitat would be helpful to you. In a temperate area I doubt it is realistic for a real babirusa habitat.

Today I worked on a european fallow deer habitat. It still needs a lot of work around the fence and such. As much as I love PZ, I'm still lacking a lot of energy, but slow progress is also progress, right?

Would be nice to see the Enclosure. I do have a really nice Enclosure for Wild Boars in a Zoo that started as a Wildpark at first but then got bigger until it also included Animals like Gorillas and tropical Reptiles. So excited for when I also start Construction on my first Fallow Deer Enclosure 🦌but first I need to build the Pygmy Hippo Enclosure, the Duck Pond, the historical Tapir House and do some Changes to the Babirusa Enclosure

Everything shared here recently is looking so great. I have to give a round of applause to the Zarpa Zoo @Aramar . In viewing pictures I guess I just didn't realize how huge the zoo was. It's amazing looking and so much time and effort put into it really have paid off. It was a zoo I was hoping would be put on the workshop eventually, so I'll be downloading for sure. I can't wait to explore it.

That said, really loving all of the creations I'm seeing - habitats, zoos, buildings, there's so just darn much that this game is great for. Truly it's one of the more gameplay-diverse simulators out there, and has something for everyone.

Bought the Europe Pack and made a lot of Progress in the new Zoo I've finally started. I've built a Entrance (not looking that nice yet on the Outside but the Inside is great), a Parking Garage, a Delivery Area that is connected to it (need to create some additional Cages and Crates for it and search for a Truck Blueprint). On the Roof of the Parking Garage I've built a beautiful Garden with a Restaurant. I've also gotten my first Babirusas in 2 Enclosures. The Main Enclosure got a male and a female and the Backstage Enclosure got a male which then got the first Offspring of the Breeding Pair as his Partner. Many Piglets where already born there. I've also already started a bit with the Construction of the Pygmy Hippo Enclosure and designed a Fence for the Fallow Deer Enclosure. But I'm also struggling with a few Things. For Example the Entrance Plaza because there are curved Paths surrounding the 2 Entrance Enclosures, which also makes it impossible for me to already figure out how to build the Duck Pond. Then there are Problems with Buildings because sadly we still need to use many single Pieces to create half timbered Houses ourselves and I'm not that good at creating nice looking Buildings with the classic Theme but I want the Tapir House to be a historic Building.
The Zoo might also get a Herd of Dall Sheep because when I figure out how to create many nice looking Buildings, the Zoo will be surrounded by a City that is named Bocksburg, which has a Ram as its heraldic Animal

I love the backstories to people's zoos. This one is a winner!

Normally I don't do much of a Backstory for my Zoos and other Parks but this one will be surrounded by multiple historical Buildings and one historic Building will even be integrated into the Zoo. Just hope I'll be able to make it look nice. I'm not that good at creating Buildings with the classic Theme and we still need to create Half timbered Houses ourselves Piece by Piece (maybe I'll steal some from the New timed Scenario and also create a Blueprint with already finished Wall Segments)
