what`s especially weird to me, is that they`ve experimented with Animal sized Hitboxes after changing them to being that big. The Red Fox and the King Penguin do have a normal Hitbox for Example
What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

- Start date
Not from my experience. The red fox needs like a 1x1 meter gap. It could easily fit through something half the size.
Ok, thought their Hitbox is actually smaller because some Parts of their Enclosure are quite narrow and they can navigate there without any Problems
I logged into my zoo and funny thing, there's a second parking lot! I wonder how that got there...
The major build of today was a transmission tower, connecting cables awaiting second tower construction.
Of course the zoo sign is built aswell.

YES I love the Calgary Zoo its one of my favourite zoos I've been to.
And the same animal could probably fly over a 3 meter gap, and it would be called "juimping".
I don't know if you're okay with Mods, but I use Plent Zoo Plus (reduces hitboxes) to save me the headache. I just couldn't deal with it anymore.
I tried downloading mods and it didn’t work, I tried like 10 times. Then again I was going off of a 5 minute tutorial, so maybe I missed something. Doesn’t bother me too much though, I don’t care if they don't go inside, I have a work around in mind.
That's strange, my wolverine is able to walk through smaller gaps than that.
They need to turn in the doorway to be ablebto go through it for some reason. Bit for climbing animals you can kinda cheat and use a log through a smaller window and it should work (atleast in my experience)
I just wish PZ Plus could be broken down into more digestible pieces. I don't need the fancy path stuff or the ride stuff or even the cut-content stuff. That's the main reason I ditched it.
So, for the longest time I've had a very specific way of constructing my zoos. I lovingly call it "the panopticon" - I start with a big staff building, and then start building around it in a sort of "stacked" way - habitat, guest area, habitat etc. Once I'm finished with all the habitats, I'll add a monorail or a gondola to go around the zoo, above the habitats. Then I add entrances to all four sides of the zoo, and some extra staff rooms on the outskirts. It's a very efficient way of constructing my zoos, which is why I always end up doing them that way. The big problem is that it leaves very little room for creativity, especially when it comes to habitat design. Every time I start a new zoo, I'm like "this time I'll make a nice-looking zoo with habitats that aren't just squares! Finally I'll try building a safari car ride that actually enters the habitats!" and then I start building the new zoo and immediately get overwhelmed.
..So, yeah, I've started a new zoo and I'm overwhelmed
Everything's already so spread out even though I'm barely 4 habitats in, I can feel the guest complaints over too much walking (despite all the damn benches I'm placing all over the place!!) at the back of my neck already. I'm having a hard time visualizing where to leave space and how much for the restaurants and gift shops. I'm trying to build a train to go through the bigger habitats, but I'm having a hard time visualizing where to make the station/rest area because I can't place entrances/exits until the whole track is done. Blah, I'm so close to just giving up an making another square zoo.
(Here's a picture of my last finished zoo to demonstrate what I mean with my usual boring building style)

While I understand the wish to break it down into pieces, it's easy to just not use the other stuff. And with ACSE and the new version I believe you can easily toggle every feature of PZ Plus on and off. And it doesn't break with updates. So honestly, for me everything is just a huge win.
The path stuff, unless you talk about the zen pebbles, are in free build though, not PZ Plus.
Isn't the only Rule about it to not show Pictures of Mods?Honestly, the rules are kind of vague when it comes to this after looking over it. It says you can discuss them but not advertise or promote them, and it doesn’t say what counts as discussing or what counts as promoting
It would be such a shame if after 3 and a half years and +300 pages this thread is closed because of that Hahaha
It's allowed to talk about them, just not to post pictures or link them.
In the past there were never a threat closed even when posting or showing mods. Just single posts would be deleted.It would be such a shame if after 3 and a half years and +300 pages this thread is closed because of that Hahaha
But again: Talking about them is fine. Just not link them, show them or promote them here.
No pictures, links or promotion of mods (meaning discussion or general praise of mod authors, exact mod files and detailed modding support) is highlighted in the forum rules. General mentions of them when kept to a minimum is fine.
