But this will be a small zoo compared to my second one. Mine is just a basic zoo (South America) meant for breeding animals for my other zoos. Or raise that path, to make a viewing platform. Might add those in future habitats except with a roof on top, so it would look like a viewing building. I like the viewing areas for some habitats from Jaggid Edje's zoo. For a small zoo it looks great, nice structured zoo with a nice flow throughout.īut expanding such a zoo would be a trial and error experience.Ī bit curious, having ostriches and warthogs habitats next to each other, isn't this a 24/7 job for 1 zookeeper? Or do keep a low population of those animals to avoid constant notifications? I really like Klinn's one… I'm glad Klinn already commented about expanding such a zoo. Can't exactly put drink shops in the middle of a habitat (well you can.but I don't like how it looks) and I'm not ready to expand more to the west to give them a rest stop there. ![]() I'm well aware that the main reason for it hitting yellow is that area along the western edge where an elevated walkway is talking visitors through the 2 very large habitats. As long as it's hitting green some of the time though I'm satisfied there are enough drink shops. It bounces between them being fully (green) happy and having thirst in the yellow. Having a place for both food and drink always within no more than ~2 habitats worth of distance (unless they are really small habitats). And that seems to be what works the best. Next expansions are going north-center and to the east in the north east corner and in both instances another group of 1-2 drink and 1 food shop will be added with the 2-3 habitats in each of those areas. Where there are clusters of 3 or more shops together it's almost always 1 or 2 drink shops, 1 food shop and a souvenir shop. 1st image is so you get a general idea of the myriad of options for direction that guests get (the branching paths) and the 2nd image is to show where all the shops are. In the zoo I made last week for Cheetahs, my layout looked like this by the end of the challenge. Scattering them also helps attract people to different habitats nearby that might not get as much traffic otherwise.) (The problem with food courts is they attract a lot of people which leads to that congestion issue along the most common routes. I experiment with different ideas of layout on ever zoo and what I've learned works best for keeping folks happiest is to have a lot of branching paths and to scatter the food and drink throughout the park rather than building food-court like places. So yeah, it’s a pretty straightforward idea and I think could make a really cool zoo, or area if anyone else is viewing this.The key is more about frequency of the shop placement and minimizing congestion so people aren't getting stuck for long periods of times due to the crowds more than overall layout. Some type of bird aviary, hoping that will be a possibility.Here are some suggestions for different trails… You can easily turn this into a zoo, which I actually thought about doing myself for a while. The basic idea of the area is that there are different trails with different groups of animals. I’m building an all animals zoo at the moment, and my tropical area is going to be called “Tropical Trails” (I haven’t started it since I want to wait until the next DLC hopefully with Capybaras and other tropical animals). Here is the map of Singapore Zoo's Night Safari. You could even do a night safari which might be fun using all the different lighting possibilities which exist. In SE Asia there are a few including the famous Singapore Zoo which might be the most famous tropical zoo and the easiest to find information on. There are a few in Latin America and the Caribbean (just a couple here whose maps I could find online, if you google zoos in whichever country you will find more): Central America is just about doable as is tropical central Africa but there are fewer real life zoos there to get inspiration from.įor layout I suggest having a look at real zoos in tropical areas. You don’t have to limit yourself to that region but you’d have a decent selection of locally found species. South East Asia probably has the best selection of animals in the game and you could realistically use the proboscis monkey. ![]() ![]() You can look at maps to find place name inspiration. If you’re thinking of a tropical zoo and what you could call it I’d recommend starting by considering where in the world it would be.
