I've finally built the Duck Pond and greatly improved the Look of the Fallow Deer Enclosure and the Outside of the Entrance Building. I've also started Construction of the Historic Tapir House (maybe it was a Library back then. Not sure yet about the Past of the Building). But I'm struggling a bit with the Design Process of the Building. Only have a small unfinished Wall Segment so far
What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

- Start date
Getting my Greek on - though it's probably not 100% accurate, we'll call it quasi-Greek. I know we've had the classic theme since launch but I have only dabbled in it. I do love it though. I wouldn't mind more pieces especially more columns and murals. At any rate, an hour or so's work tonight - with and without roofing, a staff complex.
(My animals are probably in revolt for the lack of time I've actually spent playing in the zoo rather than building and fiddling around for the past two weeks...and I've barely even really gotten into the European theme except for the big castle!)

I have mostly been playing out of game making a zoo map for my oldest and biggest franchise zoo which is proving...interesting! Messing around with making custom billboards which I think I would be much quicker at if I didn't go for ages between trying it and playing around with different styles and effects!
Edit. Finished my map and am somewhat happy with it - I like using the memorial plaques to get visitors to look as if they are studying it!

Wow, I love the Use of the Path Barriers around the Trees. Was it intentional or just a Coincidence that they fit so well?Finally got all the research done that I needed to complete the zoo entrance of Animal Realm

Also been looking for more ambient sound sfor PZ and found this site if anyone is interested. They seem to be free and have some nice longer ones (but not too long) including waves, insects, rain, stream noises, storms, wind etc. https://www.zapsplat.com/sound-effect-category/nature/page/33/
That was intentional and a lot of fiddling with the paths...I do not reccomend, especially now that we have the pieces from the Europe Pack xD
Decided to go with Cassowaries next and then the inspector came accross some bugged activists who were protesting for animals that were perfectly fine and well, now the project's on hold until the zoo's finances are stable again. Btw I had to sell my exhibit animals to make them leave, not cool >.>
At least the new habitat was coming along nicely before it was stopped...

Also have Protesters in my African Nature Preserve. They just hate Lions for some Reason and almost completely replaced normal Guests
Gave a small touch to the bistro because it was to bricky.

Was able to continue my historic Tapir House (it was a Library before). But now I have the Problem that it already looks good but I didn't do anything with the Pillars on the Side. Does anyone know if Pillars that aren't connected to a Roof are actually a Thing? (especially as Part of historical Buildings)

Depends what historical period and part of the world you are talking about I guess - there's plenty of neo-classical buildings that have pillars not supporting anything including a thousand Victorian 'follies'. But then the Georgians / Victorians made their pig sties look like this so....
I'd say if you are imagining that the building was originally a pastiche of earlier eras then literally anything goes because garden features, monuments etc. all included random features that had nothing structural or 'authentic' about them. They just did whatever looked good. Same is true of a lot of asian-influenced design of that era as well - basically the architects may not even have seen real pictures of 'far-eastern' architecture and just randomly took stuff they thought looked most exciting.
Finished the Building and it looks really great. I assume it would make Sense for a former Library to just have the Pillars stand next to it for Decoration Purposes then. I think it might've been built sometime in the 1800s to early 1900s.
That's really crazy that they've built Pig Sties that look like this.
Only Problem with my Building is that the Tapir can't enter or exit the Building on her own and the Keeper also can't reach Stuff that's outside even though I've built them a Plank Bridge. How much Space do they need above their Head?
Fiddled around a bit in Wingburg today. Framed a path with brickwork and a retaining wall, bought a Sun Bear that now keeps the Binturong company and started a habitat for the Sibirian Tigers.
I like those rocks surrounding the flower bushes, nice and simple gardening trick.
