Just when i thought i knew the power Planet Zoo held… This man oblitterated my mind once more

[@ZSHplays]

Haha thanks!

[@user-yx5su6lf3v]

Yeah

[@Rundalla]

I swear if I didn't know better I wouldnt have thought the fruit bats were in an exhibit box with the way you built around it! All around another great build in this series!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@user-yx5su6lf3v]

Yeah fr

[@ginanjarsatya1107]

Not ZSHplay just setting up the bar impossibly high for all the Planet Zoo player out there, again What a beautiful habitat!

[@WarthogQueen343]

Something funny I would like to share about the Egyptian Fruit Bat's southern cousin, the Epaeletted Fruit Bat. At Lower Sabie Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park, they have a bat box between the parking lot and reception, but the bats don't use it. They prefer to use the thatch roof overhang outside reception 😂

[@ZSHplays]

Hah, sounds cool!

[@AndersSalamanders]

That nesting box trick is genius!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks, I was amazed it worked!

[@MicklePickle-vj4vb]

Bravo, you, DeLadySigner and Cesar Creates are the only ZooTubers I have seen make a realistically accurate kiwi habitat. As a person from New Zealand, I am honoured and proud to know someone as talented as you is in the world.❤

[@ZSHplays]

Aw thanks!

[@MicklePickle-vj4vb]

[@OrangeMaster-hv1ey]

This is one of the best builds i have ever seen!!!

[@ZSHplays]

Aw thanks!

[@Aaron.schnauzer1234]

This is so detailed, i love the footsteps and just like everything.

[@ZSHplays]

Good, thank you!

[@notwinning]

@@ZSHplays huge fan of this series, I'm starting my zoos night house soon! I'll be uploading it under the name "Sarvar Zoo" in the future!

[@TakesakaJinn]

Yesssss! Pangolins my fav!! And yeah I actually wished Frontiers give them an update on the pangolins to hang upside down with their tails 😅😅😅

[@BrunoTeillard]

i know hopefully they will hear us pray

[@sparrow838_]

Fantastic work, I have so much more inspiration for my own night house now! The cinematics are looking gorgeous 😍

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks Sparrow!

[@BrunoTeillard]

me too😁

[@neonwhitea.1548]

Glad you got a hardware upgrade, your builds are too good to be held back by those limitations. Cant wait for a new zoo tour after the upgrade

[@ZSHplays]

Me to, it's a real game-changer!

[@Lys_Vill]

Hi I’m a little late to watching this series but I’ve been keeping up with everything since your first episode this entire week! I absolutely love your dedication and your passion for this game, it’s super refreshing! Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into this. It’s definitely made an impact on me, even considering how long ago it’s been since you’ve started. Thank you 🫶

[@ZSHplays]

Glad you like it!

[@BrunoTeillard]

your series is the best series iv ever seen🥰

[@ZSHplays]

Well thank you!

[@BrunoTeillard]

No thank you 💖

[@CommonFabian]

Hey ZSH! I haven't commented in a while because I wasn't able to keep up with your videos for quite some time, but I'm back and for the first time in months caught up on all your videos! Your work has only gotten better in the meantime, and this might (shockingly, I know 😂) be one of your best builds yet. Can't wait to see what's next for San Bernadino!

[@ZSHplays]

Welcome back! Glad you liked the night house!

[@Cesar_Salad26]

I’m a wee bit late but I’m here nonetheless for my weekly comment! Might be the biggest build in one episode yet!

[@shroombabe]

Ahhh i have been waiting for an episode like this! Its so beautiful!!

[@ZSHplays]

Awesome, thanks!

[@Jonathan-Merry]

The amount of work that went into this video is insane and very impressive. However, please don't feel like it is necessary for our end. We'd rather have two parts than have you burn out and stop enjoying the process. Not every episode has to be grander than the last.

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! You are right of course, I did a smaller build last week to give me more time for this one but I still underestimated it! I loved making it though so don't worry about it 😁

[@BaileyL018]

AMAZING work!! I'm so impressed by how quality this is!

[@RLS_100]

Amazing build as always ❤ and I absolutely loved the longer video

[@neilcraggs2449]

if you ever add the giant burrowing cockroach a big fake tree could be a good idea as cockroach exibits have something to do with wood

[@ZSHplays]

I considered them actually but apparently they are not nocturnal. Although I guess when you're underground it doesn't really matter

[@carlosberber5687]

You made this series so fun creative looks good so far my favorite is still the elephant and bulls habitat

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@harryrose6307]

I can't wait to get the kiwis. When I was in New Zealand I was lucky enough to go on a night time trail and find them in the wild. They were white with black spots and so so adorable. In Auckland Zoo their enclosure was a long rectangle where they could run fast up and down it. The common brown kiwi are pretty big in real life, bigger than a football. Looking forward to kiwi and pangolins the most so seeing this vid got me hyped!

[@ZSHplays]

Enjoy!

[@DieselDoesScience]

I love this zoo, it gives me a lot of inspiration. I would have never thought of making a house for nocturnal animals. :) Btw, mushrooms aren’t plants, fungi and plants are two separate taxonomic kingdoms

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! I know about fungi, did I refer to them as plants? I don't have a editor to spot my mistakes sadly 😆

[@DieselDoesScience]

@@ZSHplays Ah okay, and yeah you said it when placing down one in those circle planter thingies lol

[@rychuplays]

Lovee this such a cool layout, I need to play around with the walk through exhibits!

[@aradaskarian]

Amazing video ❤😊

[@creedance504]

10/10!! So jealous of how well you can get those circular structures to come out!

[@michaelw6222]

Excellent! I love the walk-through exhibits. That might not be the case if Frontier didn't include the option for null walls. But since they did, the creative options are nearly endless. How about a jungle boat ride through sloth exhibit or a gentle flowing canal ride through a serene butterfly garden? So many possibilities to combine habitats with the walk-through exhibits and even with the various ride options.

[@jessarooni]

Wow I think this is my favorite build of the whole zoo, it came out so incredible, awesome job! Makes me want to build a night house in my zoo now haha

[@nikilnick]

Absolutely phenomenal 🎉

[@aradaskarian]

Love the video ❤😊

[@FamedWoolly]

An awesome build!!! Well done! 💯

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you! 😁

[@thehypermonkey6707]

What a truly inspirational Build!! 👏 You have absolutely blown me away!! I would love to try do something like this myself 👍 Fantastic video dude! 😉

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you so much!

[@RegularBiscuit]

finally yt showed me san bernadino again! its been so long since i had time to watch, i have so much to catch up on! thanks as always for the quality content ZSH

[@ZSHplays]

Good to see you again RB!

[@Muchity154]

Very good!! keep up the good work

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Aramar5]

Beautiful building!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks Aramar!

[@Crumblebee984]

I have been waiting for what feels like an eternity 🎉

[@ZSHplays]

I hope it was worth it!

[@romanique8399]

so really beautiful, nice work =)

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks Romanique!

[@aslitis1673]

I love it, it looks so amazing! I can never be bothered to build a night house in Franchise Mode even though I very much like the idea of it.

[@ZSHplays]

Yeh it's a shame they don't really work in franchise but I just love building them!

[@user-yx5su6lf3v]

This is amazing!!!!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@Langharig_Tuig]

Darn, that is one beautiful night house!

[@YourFellowOrthopedic]

I love this zoo so much!

[@ZSHplays]

Glad you like it!

[@VanGothASMR]

Every video you up the game. Congrats man!

[@ZSHplays]

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@shelley-annecraig3573]

It's my fav series

[@ZSHplays]

Yay!

[@nobodyshekatonchires7981]

"Spiders just shouldnt be that big" I agree! Terrifying haha, never used the spiders in game simply because of my phobia xD Awesome build as always

[@ZSHplays]

Haha! I’m not quite arachnophobic but let’s just say I’m not a fan!

[@goldenvids5529]

This is so cool

[@NightShade2709]

Seriously, every build you make is better and better. You're crazy good bro!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@sarahlouis790]

Great Night house

[@justGoron]

Ooh I hadn't considered making functional nesting boxes that way, brilliant! If you want to see one of those nesting boxes in action check out my video on the kiwi, I got to see one IRL and the keeper opened it up :)

[@ZSHplays]

Now when I've thought of something that you haven't, I'm impressed with myself 😆

[@number1world]

Wow! I have no words! That was insane!!!!! Still think you should add that african penguin habitat in your zoo 😁.... Can't wait for next week! I am still in shock with this build! I thought my build on console was good lol

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@FamedWoolly]

I was literally waiting for this

[@FamedWoolly]

I really wish I could play this game. I just don't have the pc or a ps5

[@ZSHplays]

Aw maybe 1 day!

[@FamedWoolly]

I hope so

[@skibbitypapp]

This is absolutely amazing!!!! I love they way you included a walk through exhibit with the habitats! I’m currently working on how to do the routing for guests where a sloth exhibit is inside of a capuchin habitat & this definitely gave me some ideas!! One question for you though, what are the new specs for your computer? I’ve been looking at graphics cards that will run the game with a decent sized zoo and I’m not sure what to pick.

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! My stats are in the vid description, don't forget that CPU is at least as important if not more when it comes to PZ.

[@RustedSteele]

I feel like you could make a really cool real life zoo if someone would just give you the funding xD

[@ZSHplays]

Hah, that would be fun!

[@crabbus4117]

Fun fact! I think you can change the time of the zoo in the entrance gates. This lets you semi-edit what time it may be, so you could put 8 PM to 6 AM if you’d like. Me, I have it skip nighttime.

[@ZSHplays]

Yeh i hadn't thought of that, you can change the time in franchise, it's just more effort than in sandbox

[@TastyTabooleh]

You can really tell the difference between the frame rate and overall quality compared to previous episodes, the PC upgrade is definitely noticeable

[@AlejandraJimenaDelosReyes]

Astonishing! The colours (and Kiwis ofc) look so beautiful. Is the empty place next to the building gonna be a garden or maybe another build?

[@ZSHplays]

It's going to be another habitat, not sure what's going to live in it yet

[@Itslunatyx]

Literally obsessed with your series and builds for San Bernadino Zoo, youre such an incredible builder and so creative. Also your voice is super relaxing to listen to! 💜

[@ZSHplays]

Aw thank you!

[@Itslunatyx]

@@ZSHplays Is it too late to get my name in the explorers club? Haha. I love that motif and after sinking so many hours into binge watching all your amazing creations (not to mention all the tips that have helped me SO much since I started playing) I'd love to show my support

[@ZSHplays]

@@Itslunatyx Sure, The Explorers Club is basically the KZbin channel membership, the join button is on the main channel page ❤️

[@Itslunatyx]

@@ZSHplays I realised once I was fully caffinated that somehow I wasn't a member yet! Fixed that asap. I now am

[@rytrongaming]

Holy Crap it has alot of animals

[@SheepersBeepers]

Amazing build as always, but don't push yourself so hard! It's great to have it in one episode, but people will understand if it's two as well.

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! Yeh I've done two-parters before like the Elephants, I just really wanted this done in one!

[@jenajoblankenship2541]

I would love to see a wildebeest migration in planet wild this or next year :).

[@Prehgamer]

Wow

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@Thetopglaze]

this reminds me of the aardvark habitat at the Bronx zoo

[@COVNT_Meesix]

a tip for thought: if you want a smoother recording when doing the tours, get a capture card and hook it up to your old pc. that way your old pc is strictly for recording and can be done at +1080p60fps and your other pc won't be trying to run a very demanding game and recording

[@ZSHplays]

There is no old pc, I just replaced most of the components. Nice idea though!

[@gustvermeire3658]

One of my favorite builds so far, but can i ask, where do you find these care manuals?

[@ZSHplays]

Google 😁

[@megakoopa-pokemonandmore6152]

I feel like the Tasmanian Devil would fit better here than in Australia. Also I some future animals that could also be here are the binturong, coati, ocelot and echidna

[@Pip996]

with the oceania pack it would of been possible to also add tasmanian devils as well as quokka since both are known for being night dwellers

[@ZSHplays]

Yeh, we already have the Devils in the zoo though and Quokka may be going in elsewhere

[@Cthulhoutre]

The different colored opening title made me check if my monitor was plugged in right haha. Can I ask if you remember what pieces you use for the text in the member's monolith?

[@ZSHplays]

It's just the australian wooden sign sunk into the monolith

[@manuellima9373]

You should make a racoon habitat in front of the Nocturnal house

[@ZSHplays]

I feel like big-budget American zoos wouldn't have Racoons as they're just trash pandas there. In England we love them as we don't have them here!

[@zanzillavids7759]

I admire the huge amt of patience u put into this build Btw are u gonna build a east asia section in the zoo where it houses animals from china and russia? Just curious.

[@ZSHplays]

There will be another Asian section yeh

[@BrunoTeillard]

how do you get it so good🤩

[@Sealion1947]

So pretty O: not that long I mostly look at things that are 30min- 60min 25 min is not that long 😮

[@finsgameimagination9048]

I have an idea how about a flooded forest for the American crocadile/alligator ??

[@ZSHplays]

I do love a flooded forest! Would an American Alligator ever be found in one though? Never heard of a flooded forest in the US, thought they were restricted to South America?

[@kirstymay6297]

THANK YOU FOR ADDING A NIGHT HOUSE BUT NEXT TIME CAN YOU ADD THE AFICAN BUFFALO IM AFICAN AREA

[@PimsriYotube]

how do you move object around left and right but not up and down?

[@ZSHplays]

using the bit in the middle of the selector, you can do both depending on where you click

[@PimsriYotube]

@@ZSHplays I must be missing something because it doesn't show up for me. Would you happen to know why?

[@rexyjp1237]

If bears get added will they be in a bear canyon like erea?
