What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

Yeah that's a better size, funny how that's a powerplant spec generator that would fit the size of a generator supposed to be for a zoo.
Alright here's a generator big enough to house the ingame transformer which I found browsing the Cat brochure for mining generators - a 12 x 4 metre shipping container! Is it suitable for a zoo? I dont know... maybe?
Man youre really doing your homework for this
Not the most fancy part to work on, but when the parents need a break, they can drop the kids at Monkey Town. There is a part for the younger ones, with less height and a bigger structure, but also here mesh is preventing kids to drop of the structure. Unfortunately my PC already starts to hate this zoo and the lag is becoming more noticable, so think I need to create this zoo spread over multiple maps.

Might as well stick with the transformer theme while i'm at it, despite near no zoos featuring full size transformers like the size frontier wants us to use, I made a realistic transformer shell to say I least made a transformer looking item. The downside is it is next to impossible to achieve a realistic looking transformer under 400 pieces an item as all the accessories present on these are rather piece heavy. Like the top coils using multiple oceania rope hoops to achieve the shape needed or using multiple indonesian wood panels to create the cooling pipes on the sides.
It's always a constant battle of 'realistic representation' v.s. 'optimized piece count', yeah.
This will be a great ape house.
Top left for gorillas, bottom left for chimpanzees and right orangs.
Have given my common warth an upgrade, because the exhibit was a bit small for them. With the space (exhibit was 400 m2) I made a new one for the sand cats. Only now I have the problem that the exhibit is looking way too big for the two. Since I don't want to ruin my old exhibit again without planning it out, have the following idea in my mind.
Black: here the guests can walk in (50% of the old viewing point will make space for them to walk in a small building, giving access to the indoor part of the exhibit and also with options to view the outside part
Red: indoor exhibit
Green: this will be the corridor from the outside part to the inside part, if possible I want to narrow it and also add some keeper attributes
Blue: separate part of the exhibit where we can separate them from each other. This will also be an outside part.
What would you do? Keep it as it is or do the updates as mentioned above.

Oh damn I love the seperate layers, what species will this be for?
I'm guessing giant panda.
Thanks
This is for chimpanzees. But there is still a lot to do.
It's a bit of a shame that we can't color the mulch any other way.
The walls still need climbing protection everywhere, ...yey ...that will be fun
Maybe try the underside of the one flower piece. It has a course sand like textureThanks

Ah I'll look into this later! Thanks!
I would say go for it! I think it's always nice to experiment and modify. You will see if it's an improvement or not when it's ready.Have given my common warth an upgrade, because the exhibit was a bit small for them.

Yesterday I replaned Unity, put the Addax with the Camels (instead of giving them an own enclosure), scratched Chimpanzees from the list and worked forever on this simple Wild Ass and Ostrich habitat, just because of the silly moat.
Due to the replaning, there are only 5 habitats plus decoration and sidekicks left now. I honestly can not wait to finish this project, as much as I love it.
