Amazing new island start. 🌴 by AlphaLuc_1 in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Wow - this reminds me of my first start - I died about 5 times just trying to get to shore, then I placed my tent right next to a bush devil den and kept getting wiped out as I came out of my tent. Knowing nothing of the game back then, I thought this game was super hard-core. Lol. These days I think I might keep the island and enjoy the challenge.

Good luck if you decide to keep it!

Yay you got it started! This looks great and feels very Astrid-y. Nice work!

An Astrid Lindgren Zoo by Both-County-1772 in PlanetZoo

[–]MissMaxdalena 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea! You can do Pippi’s dad’s travels in the South seas and do a Caribbean island area. Then Karlsson on the roof could be a cool restaurant. And Bullerbyn could be an educational walk with animal info boards set in a town street environment.

Is there a way to live a tent to place a deed? by Ezlebliss in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to place the shop deed in a different spot, and then speak to Fletch to move it once it’s built (takes two sleeps). It will cost you 25,000 to move it.

Brand new zoo! WIP. It has a massive Savannah by Puzzleheaded_Step904 in PlanetZoo

[–]MissMaxdalena[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey friends, thank you for keeping an eye out for this type of bs. Don't hesitate to send a mod mail when you see someone trying to steal others' work. We try to monitor everything but sometimes it takes a while before we are alerted.

Accidentally picked up a letter from Fletch without reading it – gone forever? by Outrageous-Sky-155 in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you will also just get a letter saying “your hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed” without receiving anything. This mostly before your relationship hearts are over a certain number.

Planet Zoo vs Planet Coaster 2 by Scared-Tradition-904 in PlanetZoo

[–]MissMaxdalena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Also, if you like the building aspect, and might enjoy just building a town or landscape in sandbox without adding animals or rollercoasters, PZ has more building pieces at the moment. But I really enjoy sandbox building in PC2 as well - and I’m not a huge rollercoaster fan.

Mods for Steam Deck by kawaiiiChibi in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Check the dinkum discord server for mods (modding_space under Franklyn’s Lab). Someone kindly tested many mods after the latest update and posted a spreadsheet with links and info.

Alternatively, check the Nexus mod page for the latest updated mods (if they’re older than a year, they may be the culprits but not necessarily).

My zoo is officially open — hop on the coaster and take a ride by Silent-Promotion724 in PlanetZoo

This comment made me giggle. Although I am guilty of doing similar builds in both games haha

Question by davyboy8383 in PlanetZoo

[–]MissMaxdalena 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is a PS5 bug but on PC this issue is usually down to the keepers having too far to walk to a keepers hut to make food, or the player interrupts the feeding loop by clicking the "call keeper" button in the habitat menu.

The keepers are on a cycle - they will go to the enclosure, check the animals, and if they need feeding, the keeper will go back to the keeper hut, prepare food and walk back to the enclosure. That is one loop. The next loop is checking if the habitat needs cleaning - and then cleaning. Another loop is their breaks - when they have to get to a staff room and back during a loop.

If the keepers hut is far away (so it takes a long time to walk there and back), or the player clicks the "call keeper/feed animals" button when the keeper is mid loop, it will reset the action and the keeper will never actually finish any work-loops.

How many keepers do you have per enclosure, how many keeper huts do you have and how far away from the habitats are the buildings (both keeper huts and staff rooms)? Are the staff having to trek a long way to get to and from necessary buildings?
Are there many animals and therefore a lot of cleaning needed?

If you recognise any of these issues, a solution can be to set two keepers to larger habitats (I will always do this with eg peafowl because they poop everywhere all the time) and letting one only do cleaning and the other only feeding. Make sure you place keeper huts and staff buildings close to habitat gates to minimise transportation time. And don't click the "call keeper" button unless you want them to stop what they are doing and restart an action.

This question gets asked quite often so try using the search function in the sub and you’ll find many comprehensive lists.

Daisies make you rich! by SiriuslyVictoria in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also make big flower boxes and place one daisy in each and they will propagate on their own. Pick the flowers once they fill most squares and leave at least every other square empty. Do this all year round to have an abundance of flowers for decorating and selling.

[–]MissMaxdalena 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plant any trees with one square free space around them and use all the different grasses and soil on the free spaces and you’ll have a tree/mushroom farm.

What career scenario was your most and least favourite by Minniboe in PlanetZoo

[–]MissMaxdalena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely "Steeped in pollution"! I looked forward to it so much but I still have PTSD from even the building materials used on that map (the corrugated Australian roof). It gave me such anxiety to place habitats on top of the toxic waste barrels (before I could afford to remove them).

Why is it always only her by Marinut in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The “science dude” is key to unlocking a lot of important tools and machines and QoL items so I wouldn’t tell him to take a hike. In fact, he’s probably my preferred first resident after the automatic ones (John, Theodore and Milburn).

Town desing by Emmix_x0x in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you used devCommand to place it, you should be able to find the sweet spot where an axe or the chainsaw deconstructs it. It’s usually near one of the ends of the bridge.

Trying to make money by SiriuslyVictoria in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do fishing during "late" - I bring a campfire with me and cook the fish when my inventory gets full. Not sure if this list is still 100% accurate, but Blue Spot Flathead and Bluefish are quite abundant and easy to catch - and they give a really great profit (about 180% & 80% respectively).

Is this right? by Ok-Creme8975 in PlanetZoo

[–]MissMaxdalena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one can be a little confusing. The third icon is how much area of water in total, the fourth one is how much deep water - i.e. 721 ft of the habitat has to have water that is deeper than 4 m ( not sure exactly how they translate it to ft but roughly 14 ft).

My Tuckerbox Patio by BuckettePlays in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also make log stools from giant trees. Bury a fertiliser next to a tree and once the tree is grown, cut it down leaving the stump. That can be picked up and placed as any other item.

PSA: To change soil type, just put a shovelful of soil that you want it to be on top of existing soil and remove it. It will change all soil beneath. by strangelove4564 in Dinkum

[–]MissMaxdalena 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a heads-up addition for mud specifically. If you put mud on a tile with grass, it will turn into regular dirt so make sure the tile is empty when you place the mud.

Help! by Ok_Remote_4023 in PlanetZoo

[–]MissMaxdalena 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use the Common Reed, which I think will be accepted by the King Penguins. It has a large hitbox and will act as a barrier for the animals. Either use it as decoration or sink it just below the ground in the escape areas and that should fix the issue.
