![]() ![]() “ Keepers will work out how much food they need to prepare for a habitat based on how many animals are in the habitat. If your keepers aren’t feeding animals properly, it’s worth explaining their behavior, because it can seem nonsensical.Unlike other tycoon games, you can’t manually feed animals or clean habitats.The higher the grade, the pricier the food, so don’t go bankrupting yourself. If you don’t have these options yet, you need to do more research. Click on a habitat, then switch to the “Animals” tab, and change the food quality from Grade 1 to Grade 2 or Grade 3.The more you research a species (with Vets), the better food you’ll be able to produce, but there’s more to it – you have to manually change the meal plan. Is an animal’s Nutrition rating lower than you’d like? You may want to bump up your food quality.From here, you’ll see how every habitat barrier is doing, and you can click on the little destination icon to pull up individual habitat pages. ![]() Click the “Zoo” button on the bottom left of the screen, then mouse over to the “Animals” page, then switch to the “Habitats” tab. If you have a bunch of habitats, you might want a summary.Or you can click on a habitat, swap to the right-most tab (“Maintenance”), and change the “Routine Visits” option from “Once a year” to something more regular.If you select a habitat, you can then click “Call Mechanic” to fix it up.Don’t neglect habitat walls! They’ll deteriorate over time – especially if you play Planet Zoo at high speed – and your critters will cause a ruckus.That said, I would consider building an Information Center – they sell umbrellas and audio guides. They’re pricey to construct, and Vendor wages quickly add up. I’d also strongly discourage building Food and Drink stalls while your zoo is still getting off the ground.You’ll want to make ample use of the Conservation Education Board (throughout your zoo), the Exhibit Education Board (near exhibits), the Habitat Education Stand (near habitats), and Educational Speakers (all over).Vet research goes hand in hand with increasing your education rating and your guests’ willingness to donate money (the primary source of income). Now, go into the “Nature” menu (found at the bottom of the screen) and use the filter button to show only those Continents and Biomes. How do you know which plants to use in a habitat? Click on an animal, switch to their “Environment” tab, and note the specific Continents and Biomes listed here.To figure out the size of a habitat before you transfer any animals, click on the habitat you want to inspect and tab over to “Terrain” – you’ll see the land and water area.(Speaking of, don’t forget heaters and coolers.) Find their Zoopedia file and click the “Natural Habitat” tab for exact details about their land, water, climbing, and temperature needs. If you’re wondering what size a habitat should be, it depends on the species.It’s possible to breed an albino baby, but it’s up to chance.To earn more conservation credits (and to feel better about yourself), consider breeding and releasing critically endangered species: the Bornean orangutan, Chinese pangolin, gharial, Himalayan brown bear, Lehmann’s poison frog, Lesser Antillean iguana, red ruffed lemur, West African lion, western chimpanzee, and western lowland gorilla.From here, you can toggle glass windows on and off, and – once researched by Mechanics – even use one-way glass. To do so, click on a wall or habitat, then hit “edit barrier,” and look near the bottom right of your screen for a “Window” option. You can add cool-looking windows to your wood, brick, and concrete walls (just to name a few).I’d love for Frontier Developments to implement a hassle-free system that lets players tour zoos up-close. Your best bet is to take a look at the Steam Workshop where users can upload their custom-made items, many of which are as detailed as the official assets. If it seems like there’s a way to visit other zoos, well, there isn’t – not really.You can also get credits from daily logins.Note: you’ll need to have an online connection to see visiting players, and there’s a daily limit on how many conservation credits you can pile up this way.Whenever you see a “ visiting player” alert on the left-hand side of the UI, click it, and then you’ll get a prompt to greet them. Big tip: this isn’t just for show! It’s super easy to overlook, but you can actually earn conservation credits – a coveted resource used to get new animals from the Animal Market – just by saying hi to these VIPs. From time to time, other players’ avatars will come visit your zoo. ![]()
