  • Planet Zoo is upon us, and one of my favourite aspects of this game has to be the plethora of ways you can lay out an enclosure. The customization options certainly feel limitless, and I thought I'd kick off my Planet Zoo coverage by taking a look at a few unique ways to give visitors an interesting viewing experience.

    I've been messing around with Planet Zoo to come to grips with all the options, and honestly, there are just so many ways to build an enclosure! I don't spend any time dolling these up in this video, but I can't wait to kick off the let's play where I'm likely going to spent countless (timelapsed) hours on these things... Cheers!

    I know this video is a couple month's old but i just wanted to say you can build an underwater cave. water becomes a static object in the world after it has been placed. this means you can tunnel underneath it. fill the roof of the tunnel with glass pieces and tadaaa aquarium style tunnels. I hope this helps someone out there.

    @LDProductionsClass Před 4 lety +8

    That was awesome! Love all 3 of those exhibits. Like you, I was hoping we could do underwater tunnels, and I did a bunch of testing with that in the beta (mostly because my theory is -- they already have logic to test if a roof piece is there to prevent rain from going under it -- if they can do that with water as well, we'd DEFINITELY get an aquatic DLC in the future).
    Obviously scenery doesn't block water (YET?!) but I did find a workaround. If you replaced the glass roof with terrain, so the path is fully underground, but had the terrain lower down -- like halfway to the path -- and the terrain went all the way over the glass fence, like on the side where you built it into the wall -- you could actually fill in the lake, leaving the path dry (protected from above by terrain and the sides by glass). So you can't see right over you, but the animals can swim from one side to the other.

    You can create an underwater underpass.
    Build a very thin layer of terrain over the top of the path and the seal up for edges with glass barriers and the water can be cast over the top of the path as a single exhibit. Took a bit of manipulation but I got there.
    If you delete the glass barriers, the water stays, not yet tried it with the terrain on top yet, then you could possibly seal it with a decent rooftop.

    You can tunnel under a lake and not have a barrier between the water and the path and guests walk under. Like you were mentioning with an "aquarium" style. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or a quality of life trait. but it still works. I did this with Hippos that primarily stay in the water. You can of course add a glass to make it appear to be a tunnel, but you don't need to.

      I've been wondering the same thing. I built an amazing habitat for my lemurs, with the glass underpass, and I get a notification that the keeper can't reach the feeders on the other side. It's really quite frustrating, especially because the zoopedia says that lemurs are neutral to humans, yet every other minute or so I get a notification that they're all stressed to the max. Now I have to disassemble the whole habitat and start over without an overpass.

    I have the Problem that the Glass is not strong enough for the bear category. How do you solve this Problem?

      I've been trying to learn all the little mechanics so that when I do kick it off, it's a smooth(ish) ride. There were lots of things I realized were possible until just yesterday, for example! Planning on kicking it off this weekend, though!

    I need a tutorial about how to use the path since I am not familiar with that method and I have been playing ZT2 nonstop ever since it was released therefor I am used to that kind of path creating.

    What do you do about zookeeper access to the other half of the glass walkway chimp habitat? You could put all of the food on the side they can access but that doesn't solve the issue of them not being able to clean half of the habitat.

    Are there any issues with keeping the habitats clean when the keepers can't get to the other side of the tunnel?

    One quick question, can I use a cliff like structure to act as a wall? Like, do I necessarily need to put a complete wall loop around the area for it count as an animal enclosure?

      Use the Null barrier in front or behind the cliff also make sure the animal that you’re making the enclosure can’t climb. The null barrier won’t work if you don’t have anything in front of it. You can also surround the null barriers with water for animals that can’t swim. I hope this helps and if does not ask me to break it down into further detail.
