What did you do in Planet Zoo today?
- Thread starter Indoraptor27
- Start date
Yeah with the flamingos especially I prefer it when they eat, you know, from the water, like they would in the wild.Love the sunken feeder - still have to try it myself - zoo looks beautiful
After 430 hours playtime , I touched Asian content for the very first time. Paradise Planet has evolved to a stage where I could roughly layout where I want what, and since my son keeps pestering me to finally put a tiger in it, I started the Asian area.
In the entrance area, I want to build an "Indian" style tropical town with some smaller animals in it and some bigger ones around it. It will also have the starting point for a river cruise that will transport visitors among a variety of water-friendly jungle animals on both sides. Plus foods, drinks, toilets, and all that goodness, of course.
So here are some shots of what I was working on today:
The entrance that leads up to the village, coming from the monorail that goes through the park to drop off visitors at convenient points. According to Google-sensei, "Jaanavar Nagar" means "Animal Town".
Up the path you can look into the peafowl shelter. Want a closer look than that? Walk right through that gate on the left!
In the court and garden inside, peafowl and visitors can enjoy their food side by side.

Jamestown Zoo - 48 habitat species and not much room to grow elseways aside from Oceania section at the far right. I even made another mountain range to separate it further from the cold weather area.
I'm just really happy the 1.9.1 update fixed whatever the issue was. This is definitely the zoo I've put the most work into and it would have been hard to not be able to get into it again.

Ok, notable changes:
- The seal habitat was removed, and progress on a new American section began with Gator Swamp (cougars and gators) in the far left of the park
- I finished South America for now, with a Pampas and jaguar habitat just above and to the left of the large building at the bottom.
- I renovated the Orangutan House (grey square with three windows on top, near the center)
- Added the new Think Tank/Zooseum (orangutans, BW lemurs, and scarabs) as well as a climbing line (the O-Line) for the Orangutans. Both are based on the National Zoo. The Think Tank is the medium-sized blue-roofed building near the center.
- Renovated and expanded Asia (right corner of the park) and Africa (upper part with large white shade structures.
I've started my new project. As you might already know, I love bears and want to have them all. However, I realised that I had never built a zoo which had all the bears. That's my new goal! I also wanted to go for a different map, to challenge myself with non-flat terrain, so I'm going to use the map from the Canada scenario, which I think it's a beautiful map. With all that being said, welcome to Bear Lake Park!
This is a park located in Canada which specialises in bears. They have rescued bears from different zoos or private hands and bears provided by special organisations in order to research more about them and help in their breeding programmes. The park also has other rescued animals and local fauna too.

The Bear Lake Park looks lovely, @Aramar!
Today I have tried to make a frozen moat. At first, I didn't have any pieces to poke out of the water, so no snow would form on top of the ice. Then I tried adding pieces that would go through the water's edges, so snow now will appear on top. That helped make it more believable I think.

@Aramar Looks like a very cool project!
@SalamAnders I never would have thought of that, but the way you made the snow poke through the ice looks incredible!
Today I finally finished my Primate Trail, which I originally started about five months ago, but kept postponing because it turned out to be such a pain to build, and lately I couldn't figure out which primates to put into the third habitat before I finally decided on the Japanese Macaque after the bathing mechanic was added. A few workshop climbing structures made it into the built too (you might recognize one or two structures by Beezy).
Here is an overview:
And to give you some orientation, this is how the Primate Trail is structured:
The basic concept is that you can walk across an elevated pathway over all three habitats, and then you can also walk around the other side of the Primate section to get a glimpse into all three of the indoor habitats and houses, as well as a view of the second mandrill habitat (although I will definitely replace them with any baboon species if we ever got one in the game).
Here are some more pictures:
Mandrill Outdoor Habitat #2 (connected by overpass which they unfortunately frequently glitch in and out of, but what can you do)
The Lemur Islands (divided into three habitats that can be separated if needed)
Outdoor habitat for the japanese macaques
Mandrill Overpass
Mandrill House + view at Mandrill Island
Part of the Lemur Habitat
Another view at a different part of the lemur habitat from the visitor trail

I totally need to steal that fence idea for my Dall Sheep habitat! Thank you so much for the inspiration, I was stuck.
Wow some really nice stuff in this thread lately!
True that, love the creativity and cant wait to be back home tomorow to work on my own zoo.
I finally wanna finish the first habitat with either the lynx and badgers or the red crowned crane or both to get back to the format of my old thread of building a habitat, finishing it, showing of progress and progressing to the next, but hey im very happy with the layout of my zoo so far, so im sure i will have a blast decorating now that i actually have a nice frame work to orient myself of.
+ more time to procrastinate how exactly i will build the carnivore house with the shelter for the lions, aka more time to get some cool idears for when im actually doing it ^^

It's from LiderR and ZooF's amazing Rezerwat Leśna Ostoja
Steam Workshop::Rezerwat Leśna Ostoja by LideR and ZooF
I also did one in a rock wall for the next enclosure
Decorated a staff section in Murmeldorf and did a pretty easy Dall Sheep habitat.
The Dall Sheep habitat is really, really simple, as you see. I might get back to it when I have the inspiration for a better shelter.

Kind of hit a motivational deadzone in my zoo so I tentatively started another one (don't worry @Swjosdotschka I made it further in that zoo than I ever have before, so I'm counting it as a major win). Anyway, I've been looking at zoo maps of random zoos around the world (mostly North America because Google Images is biased) and it's making me realise for the millionth time how few monkeys we have. Nearly every zoo I look at, no matter how big or small, seems to have twice as many monkey species as any other animal. I badly hope we get another year of support for more monkeys - I'd pay double the normal price for a pack of just monkeys, too, and I'm not even kidding.
