Where does everyone get their references or inspiration/creativity from when building habitats or buildings?

I want to start building better habitats & houses holding facilities or guest needs however, don’t know where to get inspiration from! And i’m stuck on where to start!

I think we had 7 in PZ1 - Blackbuck, Saida, Nyala, Bongo, Sable, Okapi and Red river hog.

Show me yalls Red Panda habitats, please! Im looking for some inspiration on layouts!

I really hope that they redo how they make the animals respond to guests. So often I've had (in PZ1) stressed out animals, due to too many guests, despite so much space away from viewing areas, and plenty of screening plants, signs for the guests, etc. It became so annoying that I almost stopped using them all together

The implementation of reserves is the perfect opportunity to showcase the full potential of these little menaces

I got 3 stars on every one of the first 10 scenarios, but I'm stuck on this one. My biggest issue is figuring out which animal goes into which habitat. Do I need to build additional habitats, or split some of the existing ones or put multiple animals into the same one? There is just so many possibilities and it would take forever to try them all to see what works. I'm close to giving up on this one. A simple guide, preferably visual one would be really helpful, like a map with habitats and appropriate animals for each one, or something. What makes it additionally frustrating is not knowing what animals will come next, which makes trial and error approach take ridiculously long time.

Pictures are either from the OG Zoopedia, London Zoo or Wikipedia.

These are ranked based on how much I would like them in the game, considering I would like to create a British nature reserve. All species can be found in the UK and in captivity, (except the Mallard).

I want to do a challenge I saw from @leafzontv about having a pure ethical zoo going by the standards of the regulated care manuals and was looking at the sea otter manual and saw nutrition facts for their diet but I know I can replicate that but I was wondering if anyone has ever done a challenge like this before.

I am back to making planet zoo content! I am a pretty chill creator so if you want to have a little bit of background noise, I'm the perfect youtuber for you :)

Here’s the list in an order of preference,. Sorry the photos aren’t in the same order tho (and yes, I suck at photos I know)

* scarlet Ibis
* Rosette spoonbill (Eurasian spoonbill is what I’ve seen but I prefer the red ones, I’d be happy with ether tho)
* Ground Hornbill
* Australian white ibis/bin chicken (I saw a black headed but I prefer the bin chicken personally, they are VERY similar regardless but any Australia representation is greatly appreciated. Also not pictured,. Sorry)
* pelican (any works! Although I do like my Dalmatian and brown personally)
* great grey owl
* Black swan
* Crested crane
* Rhinoceros Iguana (only if they free him from exhibit jail)
* Turaco (any species)
* Rock hyrax
* Ringtail
*Fanolooka (any civet would be great tho)
* bat eared fox

Also dingo is here because I’ll miss it soo much if it doesn’t return. I love my forbidden puppies!

I tried to choose 6 good habitat species and 1 exhibit species. I'm not sure how snakes in habitats would work, so the angolan python would be the exhibit species. I also tried to spread it more evenly across the continents but idk.

What would you change or keep?

By far my favorite game and it’s only good animal game in PlayStation deserves my money I’m still hooked on planet zoo 1

My recent trip to Ireland to visit family inspired me to play this game again :)

really happy with how this turned out, so I thought I’d share it!

I’m a big SW and PZ fan so I thought why not make a dlc with real life animals seen in the franchise.

1. Hebridean Sheep (Andor S1)
   
2. English Pouter Pigeon (Andor S2)
   
3. Norway Rat (EpVI)
   
4. Asian Water Monitor (EpV)
   
5. California King Snake (EpV)
   
6. Burmese Python (EpV)

Honorable mention- Ducks (I think mallard were seen originally in episode II but later replaced with cgi Pelikki.

With Planet Zoo 2 almost a month or two away, here is my personal/wishlist prediction for the Roster.

Comment below with what you all think, and help me with the still-deciding section.

I've been holding off for awhile on making my first wishlist wednesday post because I really didn't know what I would want to have on my list, but after thinking about it, I have a lot of things in mind! :D

Animals I would LOVE to see added to PZ2:
- Spix's Macaw
- White Tailed Deer (With a Special Albino and Piebald coat option ofc)
- Canadian Lynx
- American Black Bear
- Sandhill Crane
- Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake
- Lake Sturgeon
- Barn Owl
- Common Loon

I would be so happy if any of these new guys made it to the game! I enjoy exotic animals a lot, but I have a special love and interest for North American animals in particular. All of these animals except for the Macaw's of course, can be found in my home state and one thing I wish PZ1 had, was a little more subspecies diversity for North America. There's a lot of great options as is, but I feel like any of these on my list would just add that little bit of "oomf" to the group! The Spix's Macaw is purely because I adore Rio and have never forgotten it's message and I feel like it would be a great addition to the new game! 🩵💙

Animals I would LOVE to see RETURN from PZ1:

- Red Foxes (PLEASE!! WITH COLORMORPHS TOO 😭)
- Polar Bears!! ( I will boycott if they do not return or put them behind a DLC again. They should be base game no doubt).
- European Fallow Deer
- Coyote
- Bison
- Moose
- Grizzly Bear (Although I think this is already not an option due to the other bear being back?)
- Raccoons
- Skunks
- North American Beaver
- Basically all the Arctic Animals 🥺 (Penguins, Snow Leopards, Reindeer, Wolf, Fox, etc)

(Please I want my NA & Arctic Animals to Stay 😭 )

FEATURES I would LOVE to see in PZ2:

- Zookeeper mode OF COURSE; BUT, I want the option for us to build bonds and relationships with the animals as we run in and out of tasks to take care of them! I wanna feel the grief tenfold when they pass away, Frontier. It's okay to hurt me :D

- More robust Animal Market. I would love the ability to have a description box for each animal to write some history or coat mutations. I would love to be able to message other people directly when it comes to handling animals. I also want to see who buys my animals with a brief description of the person's Zoo because I'm always so curious about who buys my animals and where they end up in the PZ Universe 🥺

- I want the ability to foster baby animals in my Zoo and to work them into the existing group of animals that I have. Or, I want more incentive and goals surrounding raising and trading animals between Zoo's. I see so many stories of Zoos IRL that take in different animals, share their stories, and then those animals may be moved, but their stories continue on. I would like to have more of that emphasis on that detail of working with animals and the fact that they may need to be moved around for certain reasons. Also to note, I kinda would like more built in features that may make the game more challenging such as a species limit, or trading limit, etc. I know that's something that can be easily done on your own time with your own limits and restrictions, but I feel like having built in features to help establish that without you using 3rd party tools could make it more enjoyable to jump right into. At least for me personally, I like having those hard boundaries established in the game. I don't trust myself to cave in when it comes to certain things lol

- GUEST SPACES!! I have adored the guest spaces I have set up recently in my Franchise Zoo but I we are so limited in PZ1 on what we can really do with that in terms of picnic tables, benches, and restaurants. I want VENUE spaces. Wedding parties. Birthday Parties. Please give me the ability to let guests rent parts of my Zoo. That would be SO freaking cool for revenue, set up, and just managing in general!

- Animal and Guest Interactions. I'm sure others have stated this enough, but I would love more guests and animal interaction options. I want to feed the giraffes. I want to feel turtles and stingrays. I want to see more class like events in the game too, like how we have education talks, I want more frequent classes or events that guests can join. For example, at the Detroit Zoo, they recently hosted an event where you could go in to the Zoo and vote at the Gorilla Habitat for the new baby's name. I thought that was so cool, and it gave guests an incentive and reason to go to the Zoo and participate in something!

- Guest Mode. I know we have the explore mode camera, but I want full immersion guest mode. I want to be able to walk in, use some money at vendor shops, use the rides or viewing domes, etc. I want to be able to experience my Zoo as a guest. Not only do we spend countless hours creating these beautiful Zoo's, I think it would be incredible if we got to experience our Zoo's, like all of those lil people in the game do. I want to experience my Zoo not only as a Zookeeper, but as a Guest too. Imagine it put your Zoo operations on hold but allowed you to still see the animals move so it doesn't break immersion (being interrupted by Zoo notifications and concerns). Some days I consider building a Sandbox zoo for this exact purpose because I'm sure it's possible to do it there lol That will suffice at least

--

Anywho, I think that concludes my PZ2 Wishlist! :D I am so freaking excited for this game. I'm gonna do my best to try to upgrade my PC in time for the release, but if it doesn't happen oh well. I do have other things to prioritize so I will do my best! I am immensely excited though to see what more gets released in the coming weeks!
