ZarZoo

[Founchou]

Hello everyone, welcome to ZarZoo

First of all, please excuse my English (Google translator) I am French and not good at foreign languages.

A year ago, my old computer was freezing on my previous zoo. It was time to change it and invest in a new high performance toy.
Today, "I finished" my complete zoo: it contains all the animals present in the game at the time of this message. I will try to add the rest of the next DLCs. This zoo is huge. I'm glad my computer managed to allow me this build. Will he be able to for the future?

ZarZoo??? I call my twins (6 years old) the "Zarzouilles" (no meaning in French). So it's their zoo. They followed its construction and regularly build their own with Playmobil - Kappla - Lego and everything they find among their toys.

I didn't have a construction plan. The chosen biome is "temperate climate of Europe". I chose the distribution of animals in continental zones. Not a very original idea.
I build according to the ideas that come. I must admit that this zoo is not 100% mine: let's say 90% are my creations and I borrowed the little rest from the workshop. That said, I always modify more or less my borrowings. So thank you to those who post in the workshop and thus help and inspire other players.

1. General view

2. Continental zones

3. Transport: monorail for the tour of the park and 4x4 for the African safari

I had planned a gondola ride connecting the entrance to Europe. The stations are built but I finally gave up on this route which makes the park ugly for my taste.
What do you think ?

4. Main paths (8m wide) and additional paths (4m)

5. Services for visitors.

The only restaurant is in Europe since it appeared with the "Europe" DLC.
Each area is equipped with cash machine and toilets.

Obviously, we arrive by . . . . . . the entrance!
Thank you to the workshop for the magnificent "Planet zoo" globe.

[Jeeminee]

oh my! What are the specs of your pc to let it all flow? What I see is very well done! Must be a lot of work!

 

[NZFanatic]

Your computer must be an absolute beast.

This is incredible work!

 

[Founchou]

Thank you Aramar, Jeeminee and NZFanatic for your passage and your comments.
My computer capable of managing this fleet is equipped with: i9-10850K, RTX 3080, 32GB Ram, 1TB SSD
However, the loading time is starting to be really long and the construction was starting to lose some fluidity at the end. But the graphics remained at maximum.
It will be nice to load a new zoo in few seconds.

i 9, and 3080....I only have that in my dreams!

My pc has only half of your specs I think....but in that case I should be able to build about half of your zoo.
(If I could, I would be very happy I think!)

Maybe I will give it a try one day to see how big my zoo can be.

In the mean while I will enjoy the pictures you put online here.
