It's wonderful
But still I think the mouth of the cat looks off and the face needs a little overhaul. The fur though... it looks fantastic!!

Happy DLC day, it seems I am one year late....
Progress of the Oceania zone is going well, just finishing touches to the wallaby walkthrough and then building the wombat habitat. Also, could someone let me know if the fence of the devil enclosure is high enough to be realistic? I've not seen them in real life before!

It looks high enough from what I can see (recommended minimum height is around 1.2 metres IIRC), my main worry is that in real life they might be able to climb over the mesh! Adult devils aren't the best climbers (the young are much more agile though, they can even climb trees), but it's still recommended that they're kept in with smooth unclimbable fencing to reduce the chance of them escaping, especially if the fence isn't very tall.
EDIT: Just has a quick check around, the Australasian Society of Zookeeping care manual suggests a minimum fence height of 1.5 metres for a Tasmanian devil enclosure whilst the standards for exhibiting Australian mammals in NSW suggests 1.2 metres and mentions the need for smooth fencing.

I really love your rock work on the edges of the habitat! Your climbing frames on the little island thing are also very sleek
Thanks! I will change it to a smooth fencing like glass later on, I may bring it forward as well as the separated barriers will be less necessary.
Maybe you can also keep only the fence in the guest path side and remove it from the enclosure side, if you make that moat steeper? It would also be easier to see the animals.
Could squeeze an an hour of planet zoo in today and i did some nice progress.
We are back at my tropical house and look whats there? Could it be the start of a roof?
Had some time to think and i decided that for my sanitys sake, the best course of action would be a flat ceiling with an slightly elevated glass roof in the center, aswell as potentially some extra windows, so thats the main bulk of what i did today and gotta say doesnt look to shabby
I also started to expand the interior, building onto the rockwork i used as a habitat barrier and put in some mulch, fake trees and foliage which went along way to make it look much more like the tropical free flying hall i was hoping for

I buy the zookeeper pack and what do I do with it? Nothing of course lol, instead I started to build the most iconic part of the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, the desert dome. The 100 metre wide dome is a massive geodesic dome which will hold both the world's largest (and maybe planet zoos) indoor desert and nocturnal house complex. I'm a day or 2 away from really any completion of the exterior but here's a look at the progress so far.
The gift shops have received a few fixes since they were crashing a while back, there is no issue with them anymore so you can safely add one to your zoo.
A pair of pallas's cat finally moved into Biopark.
Note: the Mongolian yurt is not made by me and from the workshop (have to look it up who made it though)
Backstage area
Love this little enclosure <3
Another hour, alot more roofing
Most important and interesting i did today was to define the outline of my building, which ended up not only much bigger but also more curvy then i expected but im happy with it. Not sure what to do with the space, but i defenetly have the space for another habitat inside the building now for maybe a reptile or something, we will see
Allmost like its all im doing in the game, most of my session today was continuing to work on the walls and roof of my tropical house and im quite happy with the general shape, but with all the extra unexpected space i got due to circles being hard and large i added 2 staff facilitys, a keeper hut and a research station and aligned both with my walls to allow visitors a view inside and the staff some sunlight.
Also i really miss getting signs that we can write one, such potentially usefull signs that just are all either to themed or to large. Some basic geometric shaped ones would be great, but for now i gotta make due with the not that great plank till i have a better idear.

You know you can sink the signs into objects so only the words are showing? So you can make a custom one by using art shapes for example and then sink one of the official ones into it
Thank you i did not, thats a potential game changer!
I didn't know this, that is so useful.
An odd thing to be proud of but this is probably my most realistic staff building design like ever lol
Also I'm back to this thread after god knows how long
