I once build a mixed enclosure for flying fox, otter and gibbon and let me tell you it was one hell of a time
. WE, terrain and water doesnt mix well haha
What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

You mind sharing your secrets? I'd love to know how you managed to do it, assuming you were successfulI once build a mixed enclosure for flying fox, otter and gibbon and let me tell you it was one hell of a time
I can share pictures of it, but i dont exactly remember how i did it since this was like over a year ago i think.
But i recall juggling water, terrain and path to be really annoying

That's so good! Habitats for climbing rocks are difficult but very rewarding. May I suggest to include the ibex enrichment rock? Or is it too optimistic from me that the markhor is going to use it from the beginning unlike the Dall sheep?
There are as many rocks in that habitat as days we've been waiting for the next dlc! Very nice habitat!
I'm working on a small European wildlife park called Foxglove Forest. I'm just going to fill it with all my favourite animals and not worry about doing anything too grand or complicated. I'm using blueprints more than I usually do so I can keep the pace up. It's in Franchise.
I just started it last week so there's not a lot there yet, but so far I've got red pandas, red foxes, a swan pond, a woodland walk and a butterfly house. Today I worked on adding a horse paddock and a desert house. Here are some screenshots.

Entrance Area (WIP)
Butterfly house ext and int (it has two WEs and a small pond inside)

Horse paddock and stable

Oh great work, weird but I love the color of the rocks! And this is reminding me of an unfinished sea lion habitat of mine that's 5 months over do.....
Omg those buttterflies are soooo good! And genius too!
I always plan out tropical houses, but never desert domes, I even missed the last desert dome at the last zoo I visited. Maybe a snowy dome would be cool for the newer Himalayan animals as well
Are those ropes part of the bat exhibit and if they are, can the gibbons climb on them?
Yeah I don't think I've made an indoor desert section before, but the climate gets very cold in my forest in the winter so I put the animals indoors so they can be cosy and warm
Oh that's a good idea for colder themed maps! I always default to cold climate animals on colder maps, so I should think of that now! And that's so kind of you for doing that with your animals!Yeah I don't think I've made an indoor desert section before, but the climate gets very cold in my forest in the winter so I put the animals indoors so they can be cosy and warm
I've done two sloth WEs within an anteater and armadillo habitat with also some box exhibits inside at the edges. Then you can make the WEs transparent so it feels like the sloths are free roaming.
I used two guest gates (regular or farm, doesn't matter), and then run the path from gate to gate through the WEs and alongside any other exhibits you want.
Here are the armadillos with the sloths in the background
Crazy thing is when I made this habitat I actually had it underground with another habitat overground on top of it with capuchins. The above-ground capuchins were in a habitat based around a huge tree that you could walk inside, with the sloths and armadillo underneath the roots:
The habitats kind of worked being on top of each other and overlapping, but I had to make sure that all the edges of the underground habitat were within the habitat barriers of the overground one. At first I had the lower habitat boundaries outside the edges of the top one, and I kept getting animal escaped notifications when the underground animals went outside of the overground boundaries. Took me a while to work out what was going on but that's what it was.
Basically you can get quite creative with combining habitats and exhibits. Another one I tried was a meerkat habitat walkthrough using guest gates, with fennec fox viewing from within the meerkat habitat:
This worked great! The guests walked in to see the meerkats, then roamed over to see the foxes, then carried on enjoying the meerkats.
Hope that helps
Did you have something in mind you wanted to try or just curious to see what was possible?Damn your rock work is good. I never have the patience for good enough rocks. This is * chef's kiss *
Just curious. Trying toHope that helps
I think some ropes are, but the gibbons cant use the bat frame at all. Unless you trace over it with climbable pieces
