Well after a good sit down of 2-3 hours I have made some significant progress in my Tasmanian devil habitat. Outside area will be done later tonight, and tomorrow begins the journey of the night house.
What did you do in Planet Zoo today?
- Thread starter Indoraptor27
- Start date
I started to work on the section Start of the "Jungle" section in Unity.
That said, I decided to make a make-belief Franchise (several Sandbox files) out of Unity to declutter the main zoo and not kill my PC. Main Zoo will have Unity Beach, Jungle and Oasis with selected Animals from Africa, Oceania, Asia and Europe.
When that zoo is finished I'll do a branch Zoo "Unity of America", with South and North America and after that "Unity of Eurasia".
Guess I'm set with Planet Zoo projects for the next years, all with giving me lots and lots of freedom to try different building styles.
TLDR: I have a plan.

Didnt do much today, but half of the wombat habitat certanly is a start.
Its a nice little simpe habitat and the atleast for now last part of my mini australia area, consisting of the australia house, the outdoor habitats for the wombats, aswell as quokkas and koalas, and an emu wallaby enclosure. Its not the largest or fanciest, but its what you would typically see in a european zoos australia section IF they even have one.
I also took this pick near the entrance of my zoo, really showing that my efforts to pretty up some older habitats are starting to pay of. Its not anywhere close to done and also not the most interesting habitat as its literally just a plain with lots of grass, but its starting to take shape as the beautiful heart habitat that i imagined when i started this zoo 2 years ago.

Start of new section still isn't showable, but I turned on breeding now and here are some baby pics for your delight.
EDIT: @KönigDerKaffeebohnen Love the fencing of the bison habitat and the education panel.

And so it begins...
I basically just enjoyed the game a bit in my lunch break and then build a Cassowary habitat in the evening.
@abigenius That one is truely beautiful 
Forgot to take pics, but yesterday I had a couple minutes to play the game, so I loaded into Moonshine Ranch. Even though I'm overall satisfied, there were little things I had been wanting to do (I will post another comment in character, don't worry).
Basically, I just added some necessary things I needed, such as scenery and structures as well as introducing new bloodlines into some groups I had (preventing inbreeding) and took out some babies that were making it difficult for the other animals to be comfortable (I'll have to move them elsewhere)
Y'all, I won't play until later this afternoon, so I have a favor, if y'all don't mind: I'm looking for another pair of black wolves, because I have 3 black wolf puppies and would like to establish a bloodline of my very own black wolf pack, especially since I can't find any on the marker and/or they're crazy expensive...
I'm also looking for some brown llamas, but llamas seem to be forgotten. If anybody has some to spare, I'd very much appreciate it. Lemme know please, y'all

I really hate landscaping in the game so naturally i dug a 20 metre deep hole in my zoo because why not. The animal delivery didn't turn up so yeah...
Jokes aside this only actually took 5 minutes to do for a steep canyon that will feature a collection of bears in dated bear grottos. The landscaping like this is fairly simple, just align to slope at the correct angle and then paint the brush everywhere. 20 metres down is rather deep for a functioning zoo (a nightmare for those who have only built flat zoos), and thats not even the deepest part of the zoo! I got another 25 metres to go to reach the bottom.

Well howdy y'all. Welcome to a very special VIP tour of Moonshine Ranch. We've made some progress in our little corner of the WZO, so let's get on with the show, shall we, y'all?
First of all, we had an open area right behind our resident porcupines. We had many discussions about how to wisely use this open space, such as housing red foxes, expanding the porcupines, and even a restaurant. But in the end, we went ahead and decided to help support our local wildlife by building a pond and letting it grow over:
Ain't that pretty? Our local critters, like terrapins, snakes, and frogs, will have a place to breed, eat, and live out their scaly (and amphibious) lives. We think that we probably made the best decision...
And next up, our slightly improved gator pond. We just obtained 2 more leucistic gators, a male and a female, from 2 separate breeders that didn't want them.
Unfortunately, when we put them in with our resident family, our bull be ame extremely territorial and threatened the rest. Unfortunately, it was either him or the white gators, but ultimately, we sent him to a wildlife rehabilitation center to get him released into the wild while we kept the white gators. Our pool now has a trio of 3 white American alligators, a male and 2 females.
In order to protect them from the sun, we built a shade structure for them, and we may have to provide a 2nd one, but we'll be keeping an eye on things for now.
And finally, we'd like to welcome a brand new baby in our zoo:
Say hello to Percival, or Percy, as well call him. He's sure to bring some silly antics here at the zoo.
Thank y'all for visiting the zoo. With y'all's support, we can help to provide a wonderful experience here as well as support the World Zoo Organization. Stay tuned for future announcements; it may be opening a new facility in Australia...

Quell that pond looks so good! The aligator habitat also looks nice. You really came a long way and its great to see
Thanks, but I actually didn't make the pond; I downloaded it. And the shade structureQuell that pond looks so good! The aligator habitat also looks nice. You really came a long way and its great to see
Everything else on the gator pond, though, is me.
I did, though, get some ideas for habitat water from the workshop pond: I never realized that long grass looks like the perfect weeds for underwater areas, so I used that, as well as some temperate rocks, to spice up the gator pool

I worked on the second area of my zoo: Marsupial road (who knew years ago that we would be able to create a full area only with marsupials?). It's hard to take screenshots because of all the trees, but I'll try to show something.
The first habitat you find along the road is a shared one with red kangaroos and red-necked wallabies.
There's a small backside area too in case an animal needs to be isolated.

This is inspiring to me because I happen to be building an all Australian zoo now, so this'll gimme some ideas for what to do next. Really cool, Aramar
Absolutely love the idea and the sign!
Anyone want to feel sad for some bears? Well you can with these tiny bear pits at the san diego zoo! This is the bad side of making these recreations, the tiny habitats make you feel bad building for them when you have previously built a great naturalistic habitat for them.
