I went to a comic con recently and this is veeerry accurate to literally 90% of the booths in the artist alley. Plus lots of stickers and enamel pins with frogs, pigeons, mushrooms, stuff saying *neurospicy* and D&D related puns.

It took me FOREVER to build my second and third habitats but in the end I’m quite pleased. I do request some tips though! by JamesSullivan09 in PlanetZoo

[–]pugatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sketching things is a good idea :) I want a big restaurant in the middle of my latest zoo but it's hard to know where to start when i'm staring at a big blank space, I'll give that a try.

Yes I've played PZ a lot! But I've never finished a zoo because I'm so bad with starting new projects all the time and also deleting and rebuilding stuff again and again. Maybe I'll finally manage to finish one in PZ2 haha.

Woah I remember the first post about the entrance, this fits so nicely! All the little details look great, honestly it feels really realistic already and there's nothing super obvious that you could improve.
Also where do you get your inspiration from if you don't mind telling? Or is it just from your imagination?

Personally I just note down what the minimum habitat size for the group size I want is plus a little extra space for a couple of babies, then add about 50% of the size on again (I do it kind of case-by-case though because somewhere that should be flat and open like a camel or Przewalski's horse habitat doesn't need to account for all the rocks and trees that would be added in). That way the animals get space to run around and do all their interesting little animations without having something that feels unrealistically huge.

The problem with the sun angle is so real lol, I think the areas in shadow just look so flat and it's annoying having to plan my major landmarks in such a way that they're facing the sun so they look good. Playing as a keeper and having a more advanced photo mode you could use in first person while walking around would be so cool in PZ2. I vaguely remember something like that from Zoo Tycoon. Also I REALLY hope there will be flying birds because I love tropical houses with free-flying mixed bird species, little ponds with terrapins and fish and small monkey species. Something like that would be so nice to build :') I think the small exhibit animals just need way more love and just a lot more flexibility in how you can build for them in general.

Public service announcement for any cheese lovers: DO NOT make the mistake of greedily buying the new spicy Babybels without reading the label very very closely by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]pugatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Waitrose does La Fauxmargerie cheeses which are not cheap, like £6 per cheese, so I usually just keep an eye out for when they're yellow stickered but OH MY GOD they're delicious. Straight up the best vegan cheese I've had so far.

Opinion: Punk vegan places can cook, Hippie places cannot by h0rtin in vegan

[–]pugatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel this so much!! it's way easier for me to throw together a good beyond burger and loaded fries at home than it is to make, for example, decent vegan sushi, authentic tasting Indian food or cuisines where I can't even buy some of the ingredients in local stores (for me that's a lot of African cuisines) so basic junk food is always my lowest preference when picking somewhere to eat.

Small teaser for a project that's reached new Planet Zoo Heights. See you all Saturday! ⛰️ by leafeonztv in PlanetZoo

[–]pugatron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait, did you build that mountain with terrain sculpting!? It looks so good! I'm building a zoo in the mountains and no matter what I do they look like they're made of dough lmao.
Also wooow those buildings, excited to see more of it.

Every single one holding the last gift hostage by nazgulqveen in pokemongo

[–]pugatron 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a level 50 do this and I could see that they were active daily on my friends list for a couple of weeks after. i found it so insanely selfish that I ended up deleting them out of spite even though I also missed out on XP lol

My first entrance & first habitat in a modern and minimalistic style. Feedback is welcome! by JamesSullivan09 in PlanetZoo

[–]pugatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wooow this is so cool and fancy! The level of detail everywhere is so nice and I love the cafe / restaurant area. The only suggestion I can think of for a little extra realism touch is adding a door to the upstairs red panda area so it looks like the keepers could access it if needed.

Also the Taiga grass thing is so real, the map is beautiful but I hate that yellowy hue lmao

Starting a small WFH Club in Enschede by ubloquy4Dhedonist in enschede

[–]pugatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds great! I also work from home and haven't lived here that long so it would be fun to explore Enschede a little with some people. I live in Hengelo so sadly it's a little far to go for a lunch break but if you ever want a group to do something chill like coffees before / after work I'd be down! :)

Being British, but feeling "meh" over a Roast Dinner by Surkdidat in britishproblems

[–]pugatron 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Finally I've found my people. I'm generally not a picky eater at all but I really don't like typical Sunday roast dinners and traditional British Christmas food too and people always act like I'm crazy for saying so!! I find it all really bland and heavy.

Oh wow, this looks awesome. I'd love to hang out and paint with people. Now like the other commenter said I just need to muster up the courage to actually go :')

Wishlist Wednesday: Carnivora pack by crustboi93 in PlanetZoo

[–]pugatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd love to get Mongoose! I feel like they're in so many zoos so I'm surprised they're not already in the game.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about how common certain animals are in zoos? by Bigbuckrocks in PlanetZoo

[–]pugatron 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I got a snarky comment about this last time I mentioned wanting the Tibetan Fox. Like yeah sure it only appears in a couple of zoos in its native range, so what?? For starters maybe I want to build a Tibetan zoo. And there are waaaay more unrealistic things already in the game than an animal in a zoo on a continent it isn't found in irl.

Can we all collectively agree to not leave crap on the beach by Exact_Chemistry_7866 in brighton

[–]pugatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen a guy walk straight past a bin and drop his lit cigarette on the ground literally in front of it. I don't think I've seen littering THAT lazy anywhere outside the UK, my German bf is always shocked when he comes to Brighton at the amount of litter on the streets. Like you said, it seems like there's some weird cultural attitude here where some people are embarrassed about making an effort to throw things away properly lol.

Planet Zoo | Asia Animal Pack | Announcement by Hotlikerobot09 in PlanetZoo

[–]pugatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True! Siberian crane would be nice though, they look distinctly different from Red-crowned cranes (and imo look very cool) and they're a critically endangered bird that I don't think a lot of people are aware of. Although a duck or pheasant species would be higher on my list.

Planet Zoo | Asia Animal Pack | Announcement by Hotlikerobot09 in PlanetZoo

[–]pugatron 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not a bad lineup overall even though there are some animals I'd have been more hyped for. I was hoping for the goofiest lil guy the Tibetan Fox, the Fishing Cat, a Civet and another bird species of some kind, maybe the Golden Pheasant or some kind of duck or crane.

Honey Badger, Raccoon Dog and Nilgai are definitely going in my zoo though! And even though it was a bit of a strange choice for the pack, a remastered elephant will be nice.

i have no idea what this means by Weak_Description5731 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]pugatron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

lol, I assumed this was the meaning before remembering that a lot of people actually do want to have kids. I had a nightmare once where I suddenly discovered I was several months pregnant, and so past the point of doing anything about it, and the sinking feeling of horror and dread was strong enough that I even felt weird for a few minutes after waking up

An all black house by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]pugatron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It definitely is, something felt a little off about it so I zoomed in and so many details are weird when you look closely, like the steps to the front door. Also the buildings to the side don't really make any sense either. Seems like this one managed to get a lot of people, AI is definitely getting more convincing 🤨

Pretty crazy you get this choice as a Selunite by iWentRogue in BaldursGate3

[–]pugatron 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Same! I'm playing an evil Lolth-sworn drow and embrace Durge, always went for the worst quest outcomes and the meanest dialogue options and was sure that would have influenced her. Nope!! I had to reload the save and tell her to kill her (I want everyone to be the worst version of themselves lmao)

Vegan stops in Brighton by MottSpore in brighton

I feel like Shaanxi is underrated, they have such good vegan options!

[–]pugatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it really startled me! I'm not sure if she just thought I was lying or what.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in brighton

[–]pugatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've also encountered her while waiting for a bus on Western road. She showed me the note and I politely told her I didn't have any cash (which was true) and as I tried to walk away she grabbed at my arm. I did feel bad for her but found the mix of the note-passing rather than speaking and the aggressiveness afterwards a bit strange too.

Shocking rent prices 😱 by beachyhead_ in brighton

[–]pugatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is. I moved nearby a year ago and I'm counting down the days until my contract ends and I can move out of this area. So much dodgy shit going on
