I've noticed a few spelling mistakes, which believe it or not is a real pet peeve of mine, so I can only apologise. I was up against it to get this video out after a power cut, maybe a need to make sure there isn't a power cut in my brain so often too :). Hope you enjoy the video!

This video got randomly recommended to me since I spent so much time watching speedbuilds of other KZfaqrs here. I really like the realistic approach and the resources you've mentioned in the video will come in handy. It would be really cool if you posted these layouts/zoos on Steam Workshop so people can take an in-depth look at them at their own pace or use it for their habitats. There's just a charm in adding non-functional realism to this game. I myself started building a zoo and the first thing I placed is a road, sidewalk and a parking lot all leading to the zoo's entrance. Next step is building a road to the staff/administration area. Saying that, I've tried building a realistic quarantine setup (with a lot of liberties taken and just for the looks) and I'm wondering how you'd approach building something like that.

Theres actually a very good reason I don't add anything on the workshop and it's because I'd rather show people how I do things to then hopefully impart my knowledge on others. It's one thing to break something apart that you download on the WS but to then rebuild or use that in another build is difficult. I have another series called Let's Build Together, which I mentioned in this video, where I literally do it so it's kind of a build along. Just my way of doing things I guess :) I do a lot of that sort of things in my projects so would be more than happy to make a video discussing how I go about it sometime.

That's amazing to hear! I know the games not really kind to the casual player but I'm a firm believer in that it gets more fun the more you learn how to get around the inner workings of it all :)

I discovered your channel yesterday and I love your videos! I was looking for some inspiration to start playing panet zoo again and I found it. I especially loved your "How to build realistic habitats" video because I always strugle with the staff areas. Now I've got a plan xD I really hope you keep making these amazing videos ^^ I discovered your channel yesterday and I love your videos!

Would you consider making a bunch of back houses on the workshop?
@DanXG2 жыл бұрын
I don't really have the time to make things for the workshop, it's one of the reasons I prefer to do tutorials so that you can all hopefully do it yourself a bit more :)

Your builds look incredible! I work at an actual zoo and it’s very realistic. I wanna do something similar, but can’t find those air locks? What pack or mod is it?
@DanXG2 жыл бұрын
Most of the stuff I just make myself in the game. Theres ways around it by places hab gates in particular places and stuff. I'd need to watch this over again as I put this video out sometime ago now haha

Great video. Thank you! I’m definitely going to be using zoolex from now on. My only problem is I’ll have to rebuilld … welll everything 😆 Edit: What about shelters where guests can look into or even go into? You’d still need to have all of the backstage stuff but you’d need to hide it a bit more as well. How would you go about that?
@DanXG Жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it :) I'd probably go about it in a similar fashion, try and find the clever ways zoos do it in real life and try to replicate it in game. Obviously you need to find unique work arounds to get the game to perform in a certain way, but with enough trial and error it's more than doable.

I like a zoo that is realistic I have a lot of staff yards I even have a quarantine building and I have extra paddocks that are behind the scenes for animals with young’s

So how do you know which animals are considered to have extra safety precautions? I'm not seeing much on the zoopedia on planet zoo [I love your channel, and I've just subscribed coz your videos are Waaayyyy easier to follow than what i've come across so far]
@DanXG2 жыл бұрын
Welcome, lovely to has you with us. Basically that’ll come more from personal research. The game will only tell you about the heights fences need to be etc for safety and stuff like that. To really achieve the realistic aspect you kind of have to just do a little playing around and look at what zoos are doing in real life and try to implement it in the game if that makes sense.

hello, sorry to bother you but how did you make the partitions (grids) inside the shelters. And they are very good but I don't know how to do them
@DanXG Жыл бұрын
Always happy to answer any questions. They are made of metal beams, and the mesh items mainly. Try and pause the video on them and you'll be able to pick the pieces out really easy, not too complicated to create either. Hope this helps :)
