Finally kickin' this baby off! Still getting to grips with some things (like filtering the animal trades and laying down paths goddamn) but feeling pretty good about my plans here. As always, let me know your thoughts - enjoy!

You've probably noticed by now, but for anyone who hasn't yet: • You get all your money back if you use the return button (CTRL + Z). • If you put down facilities/construction items first, you can select their group/grid when building a path. • If you press H, in one of the tabs you can see the range of negative buildings. • In the beginning of the game, you can lower some staff wages from 1100 to 1050 without them disliking it. • You can adjust the range of speakers/heaters/coolers. • Heaters/Coolers need time to adjust the temperature. So the snow will appear after a little while, and will show a rock layer when melted. • You indeed have to spam click often in Animal/Exhibit trading. You don't have to be afraid of accidentally buying an animal by click spamming. Have fun with the game, everyone 😊

I finally found the perfect person for playing Planet Zoo! I'm quite irked when streamers/gamers are not organized when building or maintaining their zoo, like having a dot of paint sand in the middle, or very odd shapes of the animals shelter. I LOVE it how you are very particular with paths and at least try to make the shelter looks nice~ Also a bonus that you are uploading an HOUR long with edit! _Thank You_ for playing this game, since I can't play it. It's also a nice video to just chill and relax 😊 I also wish you make this into a series, if possible~

Oh its disgusting to charge a fee for the atm i hate this Proceeds to write atm fee

Am i the only one here from 2024

Guests dont mind "seeing" facilities. If you go into the sensor map and click on guest negative impacts, every facility has a red radius, if that radius overlaps on a guest path then they wont like it. "Hiding" the facilities does nothing.

man, you made me fall in love with this game!

Seems like a system designed to aggravate people who like symmetry,

you should make a place where the animals dont have to be watched they like a little privacy sometimes like for shaggin

I plan my PhD thesis to be on "planet zoo path system".

Wild guess: maybe without cooling the snow melts as soon as it's placed so only bare rock is left?

Fun fact: According to some observers, wolves in cold regions have developed a habit of making "cold storages" of their prey to return to in case of food shortage, supposedly copying behaviour of nomadic tribes.

I was just sitting there screaming at my screen all like ´´Does it look like there is snow on the ground to you??´´. Apart from that very relaxing video

I usually play Planet Zoo when I am suffering from depression. The game is so soft, so lovely, so cute. It just makes my heart melt and me happy. At least, for a moment

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that fights with the paths so much lol

I really love it when a youtuber shows the full process whether it is in a form of time laps or just raw and your the first one who I see who does this so thanks😁😁 This will be a big reason why i watch you and not someone else and I love your voice😂😁

At beginning of game I do family tickets $1 less than adult, later in game I do $5 less. And they always think price is fair or good. Half price for kids you lose so much money.

Wow, that wolf den was pretty creative, I would have never thought of making that underground exhibit to see them because I'd think the game couldn't do that, but looks like you can do alot! Here's a good tip to make your lets play more fun/easier to do: You should just play how you want when creating your exhibits, all while recording, and then after do a time-lapse commentary so you can make it as long or as short as you want! And you can still do live comments as well Anyway, if you read this thanks for the entertainment :)

you didn’t have to extend the plaza path, the path size was too large to fit through the gap

I really wanna play this game but since I'm broke ill just watch you :)

This is a great series so far! I love it when people actually *try* to make a good-looking zoo in these tycoon games instead of just letting wild animals loose on the populace. So much more rewarding to watch real effort pay off. I love the Timber Wolf enclosure! Reminds me of the zoo I went to as a kid that had a similar exhibit regarding the cave and glass. You have a very good eye for aesthetics and detail, and I really appreciate that. The fast-forward with monologue was done very well and in just the right places, and I think that was the right move over hemming and hawing live for thirty minutes. Overuse could cause some confusion, but I think you chose well when to put it in. Definitely going to watch the rest of what you've uploaded of this series, and subscribing to see more of it. I hope all of the finicky features get patched or figured out, and that you have a good time playing the game :)

Really like this time-laps method with an explanation over it, could be very nice for Workers & Resources for when roads and rails and stuff are giving you a hard time.

I love this! This is the first video I'm seeing of yours and now I think I'm hooked. Thanks for putting out such long episodes -- especially long _edited_ episodes! I love listening to things like this while I work or play games.

I was searching for a good lets play of this , game and I think i am at the right place. for me, a good voice really is important, and you really have one, it is nice to listen to and full of energy. I also like your almost a bit OCD playstyle, I like symmetry and nice details as well. Keep up the good work!

I wouldn't mind having some music in the time lapses every now and then. No need to constantly talk :)

Been missing the elite zoos so re-watching the series that brought me to your awesome channel

Well well… I watched this about 3 years ago and I actually find this very nostalgic. Almost makes me cry watching this again.

I appreciate that you are strategically planning out this series and taking your time with it - makes for a very pleasant and relaxing experience when watching. Much nicer than watching a play through of somebody rushing and being sloppy because they just want to crank out as much ‘exciting’ content as possible.

I really like how you talk through your time lapses it helps us understand what you’re doing!

During sped up sections you can play music. Biffa with his city skylines videos is a good example of doing that right. Also, organizing by geographic regions would be cool. I hope they fix some of those weird clicking issues because that made me decide on waiting to get the game. Here's hoping we get an aquarium dlc.

the fact that i watch this series each time i get back into planet zoo again, its give me so much inspiration and i have finally built a zoo im proud of, thank you partyelite.

YESSS! I am OBSESSED with this game! So glad I found your channel!!

If I were a Timber Wolf I would like to live in Elite Zoo everyday at Elite Zoo is a Party.

First time to your channel, loving the first episode, will definitely be sticking around, and can I just say your forward thinking and planning it all out before you've even started building is just so fucking satisfying, you are legit my spirit animal rn, LOVE :)

loving this series!! you are so inspiring! I don’t have the creative mindset to think outside of the box with the terrain tools and all that so it’s nice to get some inspiration from you! can’t wait to see more and where you take this series!

Love that you let us follow from the start, when you first discover the game❣️

Love it. Was looking for a time consuming Planet Zoo series.

I love this game and was looking for someone playing it and I just stumbled upon your video. Barely two minutes in and I really appreciate how you don't ask your viewers to "hit the like button now immediately!". So obviously I hit the like button right then, immediately, and subscribed.

This is actually really relaxing lmao I love watching it form into shape as well I finally found someone who does this for real instead of just messing around It’s also rlly organised

You’re so engaging! I usually get full of longer LPs, but I could listen to you speak all day

You know what? The fact that you are so hardheaded about details but it leads to such perfect results actually made this enjoyable. Because i kept rooting for it to work lmao i was like work you darn path!!!! So new sub just from your funny rants to yourself xD 💕

Welp it’s time for a binge watch! I can’t wait to see where this goes! also really excited to watch your other let’s plays!

I can not tell you how MUCH I LOVE your PZ series! I have spent at least 3 hours or so- watching like 6 videos of your PZ series. Keep going with the amazing content!! It feels amazing to watch someone that plays pz and who knows how to organize the layout. So glad!!

Thank you so much! I started playing a couple days ago. You really help me starting. But I love this video so much. Can’t wait to get home from work and start my own zoo.

It's way to late now, but I learned today in @geekism live stream that all staff buildings in game have an AOE ring of negativity. No amount of decor, hiding, walls or other beautifully crafted buildings, fences or theming can undo the negativity. The Planet Coaster path system can be a jerk! Geekism has a decent tutorial, but sometimes you just gotta undo or bulldose to make it go where you want. Also always check the right hand side menu options as often some kind of tunneling or auto snapping or sizing is causing your pain.

I bought this a few weeks ago and started on career mode. Loving what I'm watching at the minute. Tons of ideas. Looking forward to being able to make my own zoos :)

Coming back and rewatching the first episode of Planet Zoo is very surreal. It's amazing to see how far we've come and how much we've learned along the way.

Great vid and can’t wait to watch the rest of the series🤩❤️

When I play some games where I need to build something like path, or building I like it to be symmetrical too but this guy is something else, you really need to relax man. I'm being so stressed when I watched this video. He is like so anxious. Your designing skill, and how you decide things is good but the way you delivering it to us is just so stressful to follow.

Well done tovarisch Elite! As always, a kindred spirit in pixel-perfect-precision-bordering-OCD in construction/layout. Always like your content.

Thanks man ur inspiring so many builds with your lets play :)

i loved this video so much!! it was relaxing and fun and i loved hearing you talk about everything while still having some time lapse breaks

I've not got the patience for all the tool editing and flapping about, it's what put me off playing Planet Coaster so much, bought it and only played 2hrs before loosing the will to live! They are very eye pleasing games though. :)

Honestly, i admire your patience with that paths. God, i would lose my shit, but you did great and somehow your positivity about it were calming down my frustration a lot. You are amazing man

Hi Party. I'd like to say that i love your videoes. You're probably the only youtuber i can actually watch a full play thorugh off. You're such a nice guy and i love it. Please keep up the good work!

oh my god I just found your channel while looking for a good Planet Zoo Let's Play cause while I really enjoy playing this game, I enjoy watching others play it just as much. And then I am seeing that you've got almost 200 episodes with soooo many hours of gameplay, oh my, thank you so much for that! This will be my daily program for the next time!

Oh how far this man has come in just over a year

i feel like it’s necessary to explain what you’re doing during the timelapses

Thank you for posting a Planet Zoo video that's actually enjoyable to watch!

Thank you for this start. I know now I'm going to have a ton of problems starting this game. But you're showing me the basics.

seeing you struggle with the paths was getting a bit tedious, so I recommend you cut those bits out. otherwise, I love the video and your commentary!

This made me miss Canada more than I expected going into a gameplay video lmao

I hath stumbled upon you sir and can I just say, my gosh, finally! Actually information on your thoughts instead of just time-lapses. Plus that voice 😩💓

I'm half watching half listening while I make supper and wanted to mention two things. 1. So glad to find a Canadian playing planet zoo. 2. You say "what not" a lot. It makes me giggle every time because of an episode of Disjointed.

When you realize these videos are an hour long and it’s 1 o’clock in the morning but he’s perfect for planet zoo so you don’t care

Great video, subscribed! Can’t wait to go into hibernation and binge this series 🤠. If you can, consider making a zoo in New Zealand? Representing us Kiwis

And here I am again, watching this series all over again (first seen it a bit more than a year ago :D)

wow, I've been playing planet zoo for like 40 hours the past 2-3 days (in 2022) and I can clearly see some quality of life fixes. Nice to see it's improved(?) over the years. Been really enjoying it so far, want to make a bunch of sick zoos around the world in franchise. Looks like ill be able to pick up some design tips from you. Liking the series so far, looking forward to watching 224 more videos X'D

Where my people from Canada at? 🇨🇦

29:16 I haven't actually played this game so I can't make assumptions about how the game works, so I could be misinterpreting what they have shown. But I would like to point out some of the wolf information is inaccurate. Part of the issue is that wolves are incredibly socially complex and wild behavior doesn't exactly mimic how they behave in captivity. One of the biggest things to note is that female wolves who are unaltered in captivity tend to have issues with other female wolves in a shared enclosure. Once female wolves start to reach between a year old and sexual maturity, aggression/tension towards other females is likely to develop. There are some exceptions, but since that is less common, the game should account for the most common behavior displayed in captive wolves. Adult females, even blood related (mother to daughter, sister to sister) should show tension/aggression towards one another in game play once they reach adulthood, which can be avoided if female offspring are sold/removed from the pack. Female to female aggression isn't much of an issue in the wild, but it does happen in captivity. Another issue that I am assuming is not in game play based on this menu, is that unrelated male wolves CAN be introduced to one another in captivity, IFFFF a female wolf is not present in the pack. This is very observable in zoos and people who have high content wolfdogs. If you throw a female into the mix, competition to be her mate can lead to tension/fighting. Lastly, wolves are very shy. The menu says their relation with humans is "confident." This is usually not the case. Wolves are so shy that zoos will often give wolves much more privacy than some of the other animals. That is why SOME zoos (not all of course) make privacy windows the only accessible place to view wolves (The ones where you can see out, but the wolf cant see in).

I Actually Appreciate The Perfectionism! Loved The Episode!

O loved how you really shows our struggle with path and terrain tools, Im not alone anymore

Your work zone needs to be fixed to include everything! That might be part of the reason the spiders aren’t doing great. Absolutely love how you’re doing this planet zoo let’s play. I’ve watched others & they aren’t as detailed.

Love it! I didn't finish de video yet, but i think part of your path problems is because the angle snap is at 30°, so in 180° there are 6 possibilities, and in 90° there are 3, if i understand it correctly a 45° angle snap would work better (tho i still think it wont solve all your problems). Or I hope so at least!

Amazing stuff, Will be sticking to this series!

I love the timelapses! As a person with a very short attentionspan, this makes it really fun to watch!

As a Canadian I feel like my representation had bene fulfilled

At the start I'd love to see these time lapses with explanations. The miniscule editing is a big part of the game, and I am interested in it, but one hour wall work would be too much :P Maybe later these things should be edited out, and we certaimly font meed to see you designing each identical bathroom down the line, but new buildings and features should be timelapsed atleast once imo. I find it interesting :)

Remember watching this series when I was in highschool, recently got the urge to find it again and was so happy when I did. The nostalgia hits different

I just found your channel through a Humankind video and I'm already in love with this series. Gonna try to catch up with it as soon as I'm able, one episode at a time.

Why does this have so little views! I find this so relaxing watching you play. Comparing you to other (more popular) KZfaqrs, you are much more organized and nicer to watch. I love seeing you play this, keep going 💜

I was really waiting till you started to play this game!

It’s wild how I was watching the Elite Zoo South series a while back and really enjoyed the series! Now I’m back watching through the North series. Would love to see you get back into PZ gameplay!

I just found your channel. All I have to say is, wow. You have made me want this game now. You have just recieved yourself a new subscriber!

I feel like the glass in the tunnel should become one way glass *edit* Just got to the part where he points it out

I dunno if he already changed this because I’m only halfway through but the temperature said that the wolves like -8 till 29 degrees Celsius not -8 till -29

I really like your videos ! Nice start ! (yes, I'm rewatching now since I'm not as distracted as during Xmas break ! ^^)

I don't yet know if you noticed this later on, but the temperature range for wolves is not -8 to -29, it's -8 to +29.. No need to keep them subzero unless you want.

Watching this 3 years later shocks me- I dont remember this game being THIS buggy 😂😂

According to some other vids I've watched, you need to flatten out the terrain in order to lay the paths the way you're wanting.

I just got this game for christmas, and i found this video. This teached me so much and it's intertaining to watch

So far this series looks great 👍 it’s nice to find new people to watch

Party Elite VS Frontier pathing systems. Who will win?

Let's Elite the hell out of that Zoo! I personally love the approach you are taking with this game, with the whole over-the-top Elite Zoos brand image and stuff. I found the timelapse very interesting, it certainly gives the series a better pace and it is a chill experience without delaying or making the playthrough slow. Maybe you could implement that to Soviet Republic. As an industrial designer, it is a joy to see how you design the enclosure, the paths, the environment, and the realistic approach to the series (like not covering the cooler completely). I do think we (your audience and you) should take advantage of the tools the game provides and rename EVERYTHING \(^u^)/ Animals, enclosures, facilities, and staff, if possible! Names for the Name God, Monickers for the Monicker badge!

I was missing your PZ let’s play and decided to revisit the beginning and I am NOT disappointed! Crazy how far you’ve come.

I started watching this months ago, but I decided today to just rewatch because I absolutely love your content

Ur thumbnail made me click and no regrets. I subbed

Your game is very bugged, mine’s fine

This is my first time watching and I love your channel it’s like I really enjoy the way you present things and stuff and then I’m going to be watching you more often👍🏼👍🏼

first time watching this channel and i'm already loving it!
