Howdy y’all, I’m wanting to try and branch out and try something new with my zoos (African Savannah animals always “mysteriously” appear in my zoo 😅). So I figured what better way to get random animals than have a random crowd pick for me! So give me any animal and I’ll try my best to design a habitat for it!

Just wanted to ask because I wanted to make an actual playlist for my music in-game but I do not know if that means having to create a file on Audacity using pre-existing songs. I also don't know if there's a max file size and max audio length, so I would like to ask if that exists too so I would know before making a custom playlist file that has 50 songs.

I've played for about 600 hours in this game and while I don't doubt that I'll play more, it's also alot of mental work. I love this aspect of the game, and sometimes I find it satisfying to place all the little necessities and facilities and light up the place, and do all the housekeeping... But sometimes I just wanna have silly fun with the animals 😭 it feels like I have to check off so many boxes before I can have a functioning enclosure or area, and I wish there were more interactive and close up things to do with animals and such, or ways to make enclosures easier? Preferably with the ability to click on an animals information in the nature tab so I don't have to triple check what habitats and continents an animal lives on😭 so does anyone have ideas on how to play this game in a more relaxing way, or is this something to hope for in a potential sequel game?

Does anyone know of a mod where I can manipulate the ground under a structure? I'll place a building where I want it, height-wise and all, and want to raise some hill around it. I know I could do the hill first but it seems easier to do the building and then the ground.

Also, does anyone have any of those zoo files for the terrain? I have a few but all the modified terrain is a decent bit out of the entrance, and I feel like my beginning area is still flat. Does anyone know of premades that have different terrain closer to the entrance as well?

I think that favoriting animals you have in storage would be extremely helpful. You could filter by favorites, easily tell at a glance which animals are for breeding and which are for selling (without renaming them into something ugly), and hold a few animals that you bought before the exhibit was finished. I think it would be a really nice QOL thing.

I just bought the game and did not find moving the camera intuitive.

I wanted to change to using the both mouse buttons pressed + move as Camera Pan and the right mouse pressed + move as tilt/rotate.

I found the keybinds, but there is one Camera Tilt/Rotate that I cannot change! What is the point of changing them if it overrides with one I cant change? I attached a screenshot. I modified the two I can, but the last Camera Tilt/Rotate just added another left click button, so when I try to use both pressed to pan it STILL does the Tilt/Rotate instead. I assume because of this last setting not being able to be edited. Is there any reason or fix for this, or do I just have to give in and use the keyboard instead?

I'm having problems with the tickets I'm putting in the zoo. They stay at the entrance and do not advance in line and then apart they remain stopped at a point on the road and do not advance

It has 16gb ram, but i heard Planet zoo would take up most of the storage.

I’m a newer Planet Zoo player and I’ve recently bought the game and been gifted the rest of the DLCs that I didn’t grab when I bought it. I’m making eyes at the Barnyard pack but I saw that it had mixed reviews and that the big issue was that it was giving people issues when playing- graphical or otherwise. Is it still giving people on PC issues, or does it seem like Frontier has fixed the mess it this pack caused upon release?

So it says on the website the next community challenge is starting Tuesday Dec 3. They just finished a challenge AND the timer above the challenge is still set to 7 days. Why are they doing it this way? I think it's doable, (release 100,000 cheetahs of no particular ranking) but not giving us a week to prep and get animals to breed is annoying.

Greeting! I would like reach out to the community during this holiday season for a Conservation Credits (CC) giveaway!

I would like to give 50k away, 10k to five people, each week until the end of December! Starting today! Each week on Monday I will post a new post and entry time will end that Friday. I stream PZ at least once a week here! https://www.twitch.tv/cheza_allison If you ever want to check out how I farm CC.

Please comment your favorite PZ animal to enter! Good luck and have fun!

Finally, the new pack arrives

Does anyone know when it's going to come back

I'm kinda new to planet zoo, just fully 100% the campaign mode, and I wanna try a franchise zoo, but I have no idea how to start it or keep cash flowing. Any ideas for species or tips on starting? Thank!

Im making a hippo under water viewing habitat but they wont swim and when i go into the heat map and it doesn't show the the water being part of the hippos traversable area

copied some of the strategies from the pros at this game, how did I do?

There's less than an hour to go and 28% left. I understand that those animals are not as popular as large cats and some others but... I was sad to see the challange fail.

I built a whole grazers zoo and produced enough babies to clog by invertory. Now I wonder, who else took an active part in the event?

And who kept sniping the males from under me half the time...

Starting on a new section of my park, used google for some inspiration this is pre plants.

Hello everyone,

I would love to start playing this game, but I am getting so frustrated with all the controls… can someone point me to a good tutorial or placement controls guide?

Would be greatly appreciated!!

What’s your favourite animal in Planet Zoo to build for? Mines either the Hamadryas Baboon or the Komodo Dragon, I love those two, I’ve become obsessed with the Hamadryas Baboon it’s such a beautiful model and I’m glad we have another baboon and the Komodo Dragon is my favourite Reptile. Feel free to comment yours!

was testing the hole habitats and i guess ill have to add some more fences
