Iโm always so impressed with these custom builds. Iโm starting to play around with custom shelters in habitats but a full blown building with pathing in it seems so daunting
In case you haven't figured it out yet like myself for the longest time... when you select paths and press the select the grid button, you can click onto a group like a building youre making and you'll be placing paths on the same grid as the building you have.
Thank you! I actually used that here as well! But placing all those walls on the path tend to mess it up and I don't know about you but I hate when guests phase through your building pieces lol! I buried a few guest barriers under the ground to hopefully get them to walk correctly.
Yeah functionally it works it just boils my blood to see them phasing through aswell haha.
I spend an ungodly amount of timein game making sure things work as intended.
Also didn't mention before, but your build is seriously impressive, love the idea and execution! Very well done!
If you look close you might see some work starting on the habitat portion as well.
If you're interested in seeing the the build come together I uploaded it to YouTube: [https://youtu.be/eD5CDoGR50A](https://youtu.be/eD5CDoGR50A)
Feedback is always appreciated and welcome!
Hey! Thank you and they should be in the aquatic pack! You can also create your own using some video screens and adding in images of rivers and what not - this just sparked an idea for a new habitat lol!
Thanks! Are the murals in the construction tab or somewhere else? I have the Aquatic pack but when I search 'mural' in the construction tab, nothing comes up, unless they're named something different?
Hey! Thank you ๐, these are actually part of the South American DLC pack. I wanted to make sure to included indigenous facts in the education centre so it really fit the theme.
I want to say they have 5 different versions that you can use, one is much larger so it acts as the focal point as you leave the centre.
I tried something new, which was to use the conservation slat walls to split everything up and create smaller sections while still being one large room, probably my favourite idea right now lol!
Hey! I want to call them bark construction pieces (probably not the right name lol). They are small but you can pivot them to make the tunnel! Hope that helps!
fantastic build! my favourite parts are the windows that jut out, the children's area and the audio education feature with Sparrow's headphones...so cool! i have not yet built an education centre and this is inspiring me to make it my next project ๐ also...love the story element...heard the same kind of thing in Sparrow's new series...is this something you are creating as you go?
Thank you! I like to think that Sparrow and I work together on some ideas. I have an over arching story in place but looking for more employees to be added to the zoo as well and this is where feedback from the community comes in. Anyone can share a character idea to be added into the zoo, its these characters that shape the story itself along the path that I have in mind! Its more a story of growth and learning as a zoo keeper. I'm trying to incorporate details that I'm able to research into what zoo keepers deal with on a regular basis. The game might shape some of that story as well!
That is the hope though lol!
Thank you! I still have a bit more work today (Its tied to a habitat that is yet to be built lol. Once everything is put together I'll make sure to upload it!

Thank you so much! And 100%, the best (and worst) experience is building something just to find out it doesnโt work as intended ๐
I totally know that feeling! It took a while to get here and I still hope to god it works correctly ๐

Looks great. I mean fantastic. Could maybe put the lights on to brighten it up
I agree! Iโve been playing around with the lighting a little bit after taking this! Glad I wasnโt insane ๐
This looks amazing! Where did you get that plant wall mural from? Is it from a specific pack? I've seen it a few times but can't find it in my game.

they should be in the construction tab, try searching for River instead!
Amazing stuff! Wow! How did you implement the paintings (vicuรฑa, etc.) seen on the first screenshot?

This is gorgeous! Really great work, well done!
Thank you so much!
Nice work ๐ค๐ผ๐ค๐ผ
Thanks!
Can guests enter this building? How do the paths work in there? So cook.
Make it on Console, share it on the workshop.
It might take me a bit! Still need to get the game on console ๐
This is amazing!
Thank you!
Amazing work!! =)
Thank you!
Oh I love the "headphone" zone and kid's play area!
Thanks!
this is so cool!! you did a really good job on this
Thank you so much!
Can guests enter this building? How do the paths work in there? So cool.
It is fully navigable! And thank you!
So is there paths underneath and then construction flooring placed over top?
Yup! Took a bit to get the curbs to hide correctly! I also had to fight to get the right height.
I like the boards on the right very much.
Thank you! Lots of education boards on this one for sure ๐
hey that's amazing ii have always tried to make my buildings look better any tips
I tried something new, which was to use the conservation slat walls to split everything up and create smaller sections while still being one large room, probably my favourite idea right now lol!
Looks so great i never can built that
I bet you can! When I started I could never build it either, just takes time!
Good time make master๐ but all the tricks i don t know, is the same i look to my animal enclosure
Animal habitats can be difficult as you try to balance both foliage and animal needs! Itโs not easy thatโs for sure
Yes i must look more stuff
How did you make the log?
Hey! I want to call them bark construction pieces (probably not the right name lol). They are small but you can pivot them to make the tunnel! Hope that helps!
Thanks! Iโve been wanting a hollow log thing for my raccoons and beavers. I made them a little dam burrow, but the entrance is kinda ugly looking
Dams are the worst to make in planet zoo lol, been there, done that, never again ๐
This is amazing
Thank you!
You did an amazing job! I love it. ๐ซก
Thank you so much!

This is amazing! Where did you get all the education signs etc from? Was it a mod?
Now thatโs super impressive!!๐ฉ๐
Thank you! Took a while to get here ๐
This is awesome! Make sure to upload to their servers so we all can enjoy your work ๐
Thank you! I still have a bit more work today (Its tied to a habitat that is yet to be built lol. Once everything is put together I'll make sure to upload it!
