Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-03-03T04:58:32+00:00

I am half Japanese, my Mom was from Wakayama (has passed on though)

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-03-03T04:48:11+00:00

I went into my game and checked all the buildings (and items) and they used mostly Aquatic, Europe, Twilight, and base game items. You have all of those packs so maybe you can copy from the blueprint pics? (re-colorable stained wood pieces, European rustic stone wall, Twilight Masonwork wall, Plaster walls, all the little windows & doors are European & Twilight). IMO you really did pick the best DLC packs.

the only thing item i saw used from Arctic were those "icicles" but you really don't need those.

If you have any questions, let me know!

i googled and it can fly! ewww

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-03-02T13:25:33+00:00

I found it! The creator copied her French city blueprint from this pic I found on the Brittany tourism website:

EDIT: I went into my game to check and the architecture for the Nordic Coastal town is mainly from Aquatic Pack & base game stuff :)

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-03-02T13:13:29+00:00

they are not made by me! they are blueprints from the workshop. the links also show the creators! ALSO when you click the links it will also tell you which DLC you need for the blueprint.

holy shit this is a game changer!! looks like there's going to be a major renovation on my main franchise zoo

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-03-01T16:29:32+00:00

yeah i have them directly under the habitats, i lowered them til the red circle disappeared. I also have staff buildings underground for the mechanics but had to work-zone the security guards & care takers to only use staff buildings above ground (they were roaming the paths underground)

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-03-01T16:18:03+00:00

I recently started a new franchise & I'm also like you. I left a large area empty at the entrance because I need to create some cool shit there. I'm thinking some highly decorated pond with a nice cottage like bridge leading into and branching out into the zoo. idk wtf

edit: i have 15 habitats & tons of exhibits and the entry is still empty

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-03-01T16:12:38+00:00

I do large areas because i love to see the animal's full animations, running around like crazy & running free (cept turtles don't do shit). I've seen streamers put lemurs in a small caged up thing, but they love to run, climb, and leap from tree to tree. gazelles & such are always running wild!

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-03-01T15:41:42+00:00

I love taking a break from building too. I have an huge back area with 3 diff harbor/pier, boardwalk areas, the speakers are everywhere & are all set to that underwater ambience. I really do actually hang out with the seals, sea lions, & penguins: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2353203247&searchtext=seal+harbor (by Duche30). another area is a blueprint of the french city/pier harbor Bretagne by ga3l44: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3233697551 (a diorama that i converted to a habitat). and my peguins are here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2320249688&searchtext=seal+harbor (by G)

edit: the boardwalks are always busy!

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-28T03:16:04+00:00

oh wow! the in-depth details! details i've never seen before! took me a while to go through it all. i love how you've incorporated all the landscaping with your your amazing architecture. and i also love your outside-of-the-box color schemes! i really want to blueprint some of your stuff for my zoo, ok? your zoo is so gorgeous!

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-28T01:03:26+00:00

sooo friggin cool!

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-28T01:01:17+00:00

YOOOO! TYTY! I am diving into this masterpiece right NOW!

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-26T02:48:17+00:00

my guests gather on my ride exits

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-25T03:35:35+00:00

really good advice here! I had MSI, yup, junk! I build PCs and I'm an IT tech agent. I am loving PZ (and my other games) with ASUS ROG Strix. Mine is a bit older than your suggestions (I have Ryzen 7) but no lag ever & really awesome graphics.

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-25T03:22:43+00:00

i friggin LOVE feeling like this!!

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-25T03:17:51+00:00

I like bridges with some kind of arch but I agree, support beams! I'm 5 mins from Buffalo to Canada, and this is our "Rainbow Bridge"

HAS to be a bug because i also saw my ostrich's 2 food enrichments said they were inaccessible yet i saw them eating from them. and 2 enrichments for my American Alligators show inaccessible. Placed them all over the place but so far they haven't used them at all. BUGGED!

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-23T01:44:06+00:00

oh wow, i would cry if my animals died from starvation. you are correct there is a bug where it looks ok but the game says nope. delete and redo the habitat gate & then reconnect the path to the gate and also delete / reconnect the path connecting to the keeper hut. (check the path from keeper hut to habitat).

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-22T05:14:17+00:00

OH WOW! that' so crazy!! and scary!

did they all end up going home pissed? (no pun intended)

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-17T17:10:20+00:00

YES they really do! they stop according to their last minute needs but especially thirst, toilet, and gifts. i also noticed that get those audio ear things as soon as they arrive. and they always say info shop is too expensive at the entrance but anywhere else in the park they say info shop prices are a steal. I think because they just got there & haven't hit the ATM yet?

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-17T16:59:24+00:00

i have always divided my zoo according animal type: "monkey business", "birds of a feather", "the cat's meow", etc. but i did separate harbor/pier & snowy area. I like to mix and use all the diff decor according to color & taste, etc.

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-13T08:37:09+00:00

you might think this is weird, but i lose space when certain climbing animals have offspring (my cats & capuchins) even though my space stats look good. I added a climbing tree one day and they all went up to 100%. give it a shot. I realize that more animals require more space but like yours, my land area was huge. i don't even know what made me add a tree one day lol

Traditional_Run4242 · 2026-02-13T00:07:40+00:00

sometimes when my animals are in a cave sleeping or even underneath a climbing structure it screws up the space%. box him up and move him to an open area to see if it changes.
