ADDING CAIMANS TO THE REPTILE HOUSE - Planet Zoo Console Sandbox Zoo

[@sparrow838_]

The reptile house turned out so good!!

[@IronMatty]

thank you so much sparrow

[@staffler9620]

Reptile house looks great, inspired me to do my own.

[@IronMatty]

awwww thanks so much staffler

[@thatbatesboy7899]

Man I can watch these videos forever. Hoping to save some money to get planet zoo soon, until then keep up the good work. Thank you for keeping us entertained!

[@IronMatty]

aww thanks so much for such a lovelty comment

[@MistaGeezy90]

I know I'm a few days late but pat yourself on the back matty. That reptile house is some of your best work yet. It came out so good. It looks like the building pieces and mechanics in planet zoo far surpass planet coaster. Looking forward to the next episode

[@IronMatty]

Thanks so much bud

[@Dexsasaurus]

Don't you ever doubt/question your building of buildings skills again. That Reptile house looks incredibly awesome!🔥 That Caiman habitat took some work, but also ended up being fire! Damn, 6 babies at once...probably means you need to extend again! Or sell a bunch asap🤣 The time lapses are one of my favorite parts of your vids, seeing the magic happen. Great video! Can't wait for the next one✌🏾🦖

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much dex, i really appreciate that

[@DragonbornMcQueen]

Really like what you’re doing with this series, keep up the excellent work! Your enclosure game is on point!

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much DB

[@weylynroryraaphorst8747]

Maybe next u can add a platipus enclosure with a under water viewing section.

[@IronMatty]

thats a great idea, i may do that on the other side of the zoo next to the lions and tigers i think

[@Rushplays4829]

What cool in the future he did it

[@patrickhoek8363]

My god!!! It looks amazing. I wish i could build buildings like you do. I like the wellfare check you do every episode because of your enthousiasm for all the babies haha and i cant stop viewing all the nice builds you made. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@IronMatty]

thank you so much Patrick and thank you so so much for becoming a channel member, i really appreciate the support

[@smilingoma3334]

You know, while the game doesn't appeal to me to play it, although the pieces & the weather in this game are really tempting, & the baby animals too.... but I find myself really enjoying this series! Truly! The enthusiasm you are having in it as you create & manage your zoo is very infectious! ☮& ♥~ Smiling 🙂

[@IronMatty]

awwwwww smiling thanks so so much

[@rdy_2_fall]

I have to say I was never particularly interested in Planet Zoo on PC, always just played Planco. But you're doing such an amazing job with this series that I had to get Planet Zoo on the Steam sale yesterday 😁

[@IronMatty]

hahaha frontier please take note, i need paying for the people buying and playing the game because of me lol

[@rhyanonstuddert7384]

Wow so amazing! Nice work. Just a bit of trivia, the Gila monster is pronounced with an 'h' sound instead of a 'g' sound. So it would look like 'heela'.

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much for that feedback and advice, ill remember that

[@levonwalsh1804]

I look forward to these videos ad no one eles is really doing console zoo builds and I inspire to build like you one day

[@IronMatty]

aww thanks so much levon, dont aspire to be like me though, aspire to be better than me - there are so many other amazing creators out there on console way more talented than i am, aspire to be like them!

[@kyleholmes3160]

These videos have become the highlight of my day. Keep up the great content ☺️

The reptile house looks so good😍 great job Matty 👍🏻

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much coasterfan

[@mixelmusprime5275]

When it comes to the spectacled caimans, their issue with the plants isn't the amount of them that's in their enclosure, it's more so that a lot of the plants in their enclosure don't suit them.

[@IronMatty]

im so bad for doing that, i just like my enclosures looking pretty lol

[@Dudewholikesmemeing]

Yo iron Marty You are so good. I’m shocked you are such a small KZbinr. I could watch you for hours

[@IronMatty]

awwwww thanks so much dude, i really appreciate that. I think im about where im supposed to be tbh - im not that good lol

[@mixelmusprime5275]

The spectacled caiman isn't the smallest crocodilian in Planet Zoo. That would be the Cuvier's dwarf caiman which is the smallest crocodilian in the world and it's part of the Aquatics pack which will be added to the console edition in Late May.

[@IronMatty]

noted, i may potentially swap them out when they release then

[@sgtfoureyes5972]

In the help section on the menu, if you spend some time to read it, youll learn about outsiders and the degradation of the heaters

[@IronMatty]

oooohhhh thats actually great advice and annoyingly this is something id be telling other people to do lol, i sometimes roll my eyes when people ask questions that can be very easily answered by just looking yourself or playing the tutorial etc - and then i go and do the same thing

[@sgtfoureyes5972]

@@IronMatty Yeah I couldn't really get into planet co, and i probably would have if I had spent time to read the in-game help - I really wanted planet zoo to come to console for a long time without really watching much pc content - so I spent a good amount of time reading each section in the help menu and I've learned alot about the mechanics, something we don't really get anymore in games

[@CIzzle21]

Love this content! This is so cool! Can’t wait to see what your building next!😁👍

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much CIzzle, ive loved reading all of your overwhelmingly positive comments this last few weeks

[@crotalus_4203]

The Gila Monsters are pronounced ( Hee-luh ), Az native here and the G makes an "H" sound in alot of cases. Great content : )

[@IronMatty]

thank you so much

[@choppedworms23]

Great video as always. Yesterday I was thinking, what? No iron Matty video? What’s happening? lol. Worth the wait, the reptile house is amazing, the caimen enclosure looks brilliant. Looking forward to seeing the complete finish. Thanks for the video. 👍

[@thomashunter8839]

New to your channel and I'm loving this series. I am new to Planet Zoo having just bought the console version and watching you has really helped me improve. If you build a big building like a reptile house in the future, I'd love to see a tutorial!

[@IronMatty]

awwwww thanks so much thomas

Absolutely awesome.

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much mark, ive loved reading all of your positive comments the last few weeks

[@roopy2671]

I’m to early and another amazing build bosss ❤️, lovely commentary. Also for the well-fair check I understand What you can do is make longer video without any major edits and make time stands so people can skip if they don’t want to watch that part ! Just let them know in beginning of video you make a time stands :)

[@IronMatty]

thats great advice, for my planco spotlights i always added time stamps but havnt been doing for these planet zoo videos, but its certainly something i can think of doing, cheers roopy

[@sporkie6827]

Hey Matty! Loving the videos, I have used multiple of your workshop creations in my own zoo’s. I am fairly certain Gila Monster is pronounced like He-Luh Monster. Basically replacing the G with an H.

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much sporkie i really appreciate that, and thanks for the assistance with pronouncing that correctly

[@lukieboy1981]

This is phenomenal!!!

[@IronMatty]

aww thanks so much lukie, i really appreciate that

[@Celtic-1888]

Amazing build 🔥 loving the series so far

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much celtic

[@Aaron.schnauzer1234]

For some animals when they mature they will become outsiders and that means that the rest of the pack wont tolerate them and have fights, you can see in the zoopedia its says if they will become outsiders, its like if just say the alpha lion in a pack might fight with one its children when it grows for dominance reasons

[@IronMatty]

ah right ok, ill continue to keep an eye on that then, thanks aaron

[@Stonecoldsidious]

Another great episode of rock simulator 😉 nah once again your building work is brilliant, will continue watching unlike one comment I’ve seen but would maybe like a video in the future of how you built the reptile house, tbh I’m going to download and take apart to try and work it out myself also but there’s a lot of the building elements very new to me…. Like all of them 😂 do you recommend any other creators who dive into the “building” aspect more as tutorials?? Keep up the good work and keep rocking!

[@IronMatty]

it was something i hadnt really considered, i thought people would be bored seeing me building a building only, i now realise i was wrong so have covered how i approached the build at the start of the next episode

[@SuperBrand1234]

You did good in adding the food court in the reptile house, but would it be necessary to add in grey seals to make it like a little aquarium for guests to view the seals?

[@IronMatty]

thats a good idea, i dont think ill do seals in this zoo but will do in a future series

[@trafficinsurance]

Amazing build as usual🤩😊

thanks so much

Hey Matty, awesome vid. Any tips on how to manage staff and know when to have a good mount and not get too many?

[@IronMatty]

i dont think i would be the best person at trying to teach others on that, i just kinda wing it and hope for the best with staff, i dont really have a proper plan

[@MIKE_LITORIS_STINKS]

Nice job mate 👍

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much welsh

[@williamwesley8440]

Looks amazing Do u know y the path width doesn't change on console?

[@IronMatty]

this has now been fixed with the patch yesterday

[@roseabee7503]

With this being a Sandbox zoo, you can turn off the negative effect that things like staff facilities have on guests. IMO, it's sooo ridiculous. Anytime I've gone to a zoo i didn't think "Eeew, there's the water treatem" it was, "Oh, look at the massive alligator snapping turtle in this huge tank of water that's being kept clean. He looks really REALLY old, I bet he's super hea- oop, there went a fish". Why Frontier thought that the negative effect was a good idea, tells me they don't go to zoos often enough. Or if they do, the one and only animal on exhibit are New York rats lol And from my time playing PZ, Outsiders in my zoo often get into a lot of fights with other troop members.

[@IronMatty]

i originally started the series in franchise and only swapped to sandbox because of instability issues on franchise but when i swapped i wanted to keep all of the same limitations that franchise mode posed - i want to have a certain level of challenge in this series and not just have complete freedom

[@reegansecker9560]

I love it keep it up 👍

thank you so much reegan

[@Oliver-ed6vi]

Make a panther or tiger enclosure with a top/down view

I’ve been trying out planet zoo and I like it so far but where are the albinos and all the other leusistic animals I can only find leusistic lions and peacocks?

i think its luck of the draw tbh, i managed to breed an albino warthog but that was purely luck

[@michaelbuncy441]

Drives me nuts how the paths cut the guests feet off. Not much we can really do though

[@IronMatty]

i am planning on addressing this at some point, i need to redo all the pathing in the entire zoo and then the roof tile pieces to not clip, will do all that off camera

[@michaelbuncy441]

@@IronMatty I have the same issues in my zoo in certain places. Makes me wish there was a way for the guests to follow the custom path instead of the actual terrain

[@zachcastelletto2009]

Outsider is when they are kicked out of a pack or group and flock

[@IronMatty]

oh thank you so much for the info

[@BarkingSquirrel]

How do you keep the pages you're tracking as you modify stuff(such as the animal's welfare page as you paint the terrain) open as you're changing stuff? When I paint the terrain, it closes that tab and I have to keep clicking on the animal to see what changed, then go ALL the way back to the terrain paint tool, paint a little more, click the animal again and so on and so forth. Its a pain in the ass...

[@IronMatty]

when u have the heatmaps open press up in the D-pad and it should lock it in place

Same but I have gotten a lot better at just take your time and don’t get frustrated (I learned this the hard way and I lost a controller)

[@IronMatty]

awwww dont say that rose, like i always said about planet coaster - nobody sucks at these games, i guarantee there will be one thing in this game you will be amazing at, and at the end of the day so long as you are enjoying yourself it doesnt matter what others think, dont compare yourself to anyone else - even i look at others creations and doubt myself constantly

Am i the only one struggling with this game? This must be the most noob unfriendly game i ever played. I played planet coaster and completed it 100%. I thought this might help in Planet Zoo. But no! I have no issues building, but keeping my animals happy, for example, is a complete mystery to me. Every parameter i can see is 100%, but still, one animal is unhappy. 🤯 Power losses that can't be explained. And many weird things more. I don't know if these things are just bugs or if i am simply missing something. It makes me feel like a complete idiot. So frustrating 😖 Someone got an idea or tips? Cause like this, i am not playing anymore. 😢

[@IronMatty]

im so sorry to hear you feel like this, what about maybe playing in sandbox mode and turning off some of the requirements?

[@nielsm6961]

@IronMatty That is unfortunately not for me. I have the creativity off a doorknob! I wouldn't know where to start on a big emty map. I love the challenge of managing a park on the hardest difficulty. I played these kind of games all my life. It started a long time ago with command and conquer. Yes, i am old! 😅 I played planet coaster and jurassic world evolution 2 on console, and both got platinum trophies. Not that this is that difficult, but i would consider myself a good player in these games. All the mechanics of planet zoo are basically the same. And like i said. Building is nog the issue. But if i have 2 rhinoceros with plenty of space, the right plant's, water, food and toys. And the male is perfectly happy and the female has a welfare of 21%. i have no idea what to do. Am i missing something? Or is it simply bugged? It's so frustrating. Thanks for reacting. 👍

[@luke-ademsaunders7766]

Sorry not watching anymore. Have been waiting since ep 1 for a reptile house so can learn how to do it myself on console and u literally skipped over the entire building aspect with a cut to finish between episodes

[@IronMatty]

Apologies for not showing how I built it, in the next episode I’ll try and go through my thought process and how I went about building it. This is extremely helpful feedback and I thank you for your honesty. I hope you continue to watch the series and by me showing how I built it in the next episode will be enough for you
