So far I have never succeeded at thatNext Step is building a Breeding Center like I did for Dingos, where you try to breed them up to 4x 100%
So far I have never succeeded at thatHopefully, finally...!
The Time Limits are too short in my Opinion. I'm only trying to finish them completely to get all Statues which can be a bit frustratingI've now wasted two and a half hours of my life on this stupid thing. Does literally anybody have fun playing these the way they were intended?
I do enjoy them when I want to challenge myself to a race. And that's really what it is, you gotta stay focused on the bare minimum to make things run the entire time and not get lost in making things look pretty. It's a nice change of pace from time to time when you normally spent hours on building a single habitat and lose track of the whole management thing.I've now wasted two and a half hours of my life on this stupid thing.

I've finished up uni for the year (although I'm heading out to do volunteer fieldwork this week so it's not like I have loads of time lol), and so I've tried to make a start on this zoo (which I've now labelled Hinterland Zoo, the same as my old Queensland zoo). However, after two attempts at playing Planet Entrance and struggling to find a style I was happy with, I decided I would do the thing where I prepare a bunch of blueprints first to both get a feel for the architectural theming of the zoo and to speed up the building process once I actually get started.Also had a gander at the new tropical Oceania map given that's where I plan to build my next zoo - the mountains were bigger than I was expecting, but at least it looks a lot more like the rainforests of far north Queensland (where I'll set my zoo) or New Guinea than the original tropical map did. I've written up some rough ideas in regards to different sections of the zoo and the species within them:
Subject to change of course, the zoo is meant to be fairly small and lack a lot of big ticket/popular animals.
Entrance Area:
Capybara
Colombian White-faced Capuchin
Axolotl [E]
South-east Asia:
Siamang
Asian Small-clawed Otter
Sun Bear
Binturong
North Sulawesi Babirusa
Indian Peafowl
Temperate Australia House:
Platypus
Koala
Common Wombat
Eastern Blue-tongued Skink [E]
Common Death Adder [E]
Reptile Realm:
Aldabra Giant Tortoise
Galapagos Giant Tortoise
American Alligator
Spectacled Caiman
Green Iguana [E]
Gila Monster [E]
Boa Constrictor [E]
Yellow Anaconda [E]
Western Diamondback Rattlesnake [E]
Little Africa:
Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur
Ring-tailed Lemur
Egyptian Fruit Bat [E]
Fennec Fox
Cheetah
Meerkat
Nyala
Common Ostrich
North Australian Safari:
Red Kangaroo
Dingo
Wild Water Buffalo
Southern Cassowary
Komodo Dragon
Saltwater Crocodile
Eastern Brown Snake [E]
Giant Burrowing Cockroach [E]
The last zoo I worked on before going on my hiatus from the forum over a year ago was also set in north Queensland, but I never got much further than a few entrance habitats there and now that there's a more suitable map there's no better time to try again.
Looks really nice. Luckily I won't need to play Planet Entrance for too long when my PC works again because I'll restart my japanese Zoo. Only need to research the Parts of the awesome Entrance Building and play Planet City and Planet ParkingI've finished up uni for the year (although I'm heading out to do volunteer fieldwork this week so it's not like I have loads of time lol), and so I've tried to make a start on this zoo (which I've now labelled Hinterland Zoo, the same as my old Queensland zoo).

Today I started by building a set of three different iron sheds - one large, one medium-sized and one small. In-game I'll mainly use them to hide several staff buildings, but "lore-wise" they'd be for storage purposes. I thought this would be a fairly simple way to start, but detailing several boxes of corrugated iron can take more work than expected - the large shed is made up of 250+ pieces.

Once the sheds were done, I made a pair of quick shade structures (once again, large and small). I'm liking the use of deep red for the corrugated iron roofing here, which will probably remain consistent throughout the zoo.

I've got a lot more plans for simple scenery, animal shelter and staff building blueprints, including a lot of wooden buildings based primarily on Queenslander architecture - struts, verandas and all.
Wowsers. I've barely done 48
Prairie dogs are usefulWowsers. I've barely done 48. What animals y'all breeding? I chose B&W ruffed lemurs and red ruffed lemurs because I can use 1 male for every 3 females and CCs. I also did peafowl, but they aren't as helpful
There are aprox 25 differents outfitsDuring the weekend I've released over 200 animals and got many rewards, but I'm getting repeated outfits, so I guess I already have all the avatars.
Actually never played that game, but I might if I ever finish my zoo.now you have me itching for planet coaster 2.
