![]() Nobody used my transit ride until I figured out that it needs to be efficient (delete all pieces of track, then do your best slash use autocomplete). If you move too many things around, your keepers will do that instead of feeding your animals. There’s a bunch of park space to the north where new habitats could totally go, but I used those for creative placement of utilities (floating in the air and elaborately decorated), and I was too lazy to move things around.Ĩ. The terrain here SUCKS, but I put a walk-in tortoise habitat way to the south (putting them with the pangolins probably technically works, but keeping them separate seemed better), the panda where the guide says to put the bear (below the Bengal tiger), and the bear where the guide says to put a second red panda (which I don’t get – the red panda habitat is plenty big enough for a breeding pair plus a baby?). Yes, yes, I know, I know, everyone says not to, but too bad. The Siberian tiger and Nile monitor came WAY later, because nobody wants to deal with that NE corner.ħ. I know everyone says not to do this, but I needed the income and zoo reputation while still keeping my guests contained, and I knew that if I bought them with CC I could always just swap them out when the time came. The order I did things was peacocks, then wolves, then the giant herbivore habitat, and then I used conservation credits to buy the things that I eventually knew would be coming into the SE corner (red panda, Chinese pangolin, Himalayan bear). Because of this horrendous layout, it will be a very long time before you make profit, and you want to avoid taking that loan.Ħ. I literally just had peacocks (with hopes of the vet researching quickly, snicker) until the timber wolves appeared, and then I just had timber wolves and peacocks, for I think the first 5 years. Start with one corner of the zoo and slowly work your way out, putting keeper huts everywhere as needed.Ĥ. Guests don’t buy hats until the very end. I sold most of the power facilities, though it turns out that untreated water and broken-down toilets make guests sad, so sadly you’re going to need to replace most of them essentially immediately, though do move them around, because their starting placement is very weird.Ģ. The time I finally won, I sold all exhibits, all sellable shops except for the western cluster, all ATMs, all education facilities, all bits of track, and most of the staff facilities (except the staff rooms). This level is lucky that it’s so pretty, because otherwise it sucked. My springboks kept dying on me (and the market in finicky, you can go years without seeing certain animals for sale), and you really do have to plan ahead for that 5-star thing, given that it seems to be tied at least in part to the length of time the animal’s spent in the zoo. ![]() Yes, yes, I know, things are expensive blah blah. I got some 4-star exhibit species, but no 5, but then again I only had a fully-researched exhibit species for like 6 months out of 12 years, so.ħ. I have no insight into what makes a 5-star animal, other than that they tended to be elderly ones that I got earlier in the game (except for that gemsbok, wth). Check periodically before gold level just in case (and then send to the trade centre immediately so they don’t die!), then just be prepared to wait it out. Wide paths, put the guests above (for everything except the two grassland habitats) and staff below.Ħ. ![]() As soon as you can financially, stick in an army of research centres and high-level vets.ĥ. ![]() Don’t do an overhead walkway (bonus for Africa: eventually, giraffe), put in limited ground-level viewpoints, research one-way glass.Ĥ. Dedicated keeper, dedicated keeper hut, make it as big as possible from the get-go.ģ. That African habitat is going to be fucking awful. Space isn’t that much of an issue, don’t freak out too much.Ģ. Some things I wish I had known from the beginning:ġ. This one wasn’t particularly difficult, it just took forever and I kind of screwed it up. Fucking nobody cares about Planet Zoo, but I want notes for myself for how I beat the last two Career levels (in case I want to go back and beat them on Hard Mode for the achievement trophy or something). ![]()
