Half Way There! Planet Zoo Every Animal Franchise Zoo (Part 11)

[@joshlincoln247]

As someone who works at a zoo I can say that guests leaving litter in walk through enclosures is very accurate

[@PlasticSwans]

Wow, some people!! Can't believe people would do that

[@marafresi1202]

I went into a walk-in ring tailed lemur habitat at Taronga zoo and I would never think about throwing trash in there

[@Owlslice]

Yo this is sick. You’ve inspired me to make my own all-animal-zoo! I gotta love the Lynx’s and Fennec Foxes’ enclosure!

[@PlasticSwans]

Good luck! Starting to feel the strain but in it for the long haul!

[@wesleyvalk9129]

I don't give compliments that often, but your voice is so awesome, so relax and pleasant! I'm going to follow this series from the start, I'm kinda jealous of your buildings! When I create a zoo, it's all plain Zoo Tycoon-like stuff, I can't create my own items (like sheds) yet. I'm very curious how your zoo is gonna turn out in the end! Keep up the good work!

[@PlasticSwans]

Thanks! It's one of those voices you either love it or hate it! Once you get a feel for the pieces, building does get a bit easier. I am sort of running out of ideas a bit at this stage, and relying on replication of sorts to see the zoo through to the end though at this stage

[@ewhall540]

This has been my favourite planet zoo series’s since the start

[@dr.archaeopteryx5512]

I feel like maybe putting a security guard into the walkthrough exhibit could stop the littering? Though obviously it wasn't the only problem, and knowing Planet Zoo guests I kinda expect it not to work anyway

[@PlasticSwans]

I really wish they'd introduce a limit or something on the number of guests that can pass through. They make a beeline for walkthrough exhibits, and that was ultimately the biggest problem with that enclosure

[@Bobbytalkssport]

I love this series! I would love to see a tour at the end of the whole thing!

[@PlasticSwans]

There'll definitely be an extended tour, as long as the frame rate isn't crazy!

[@seahorsehelicopter1305]

I'm so excited for how this is coming along!!! I thought you were going super basic with everything at first but it's evolved into like...the best of both worlds, really. Simple elegance, I'd call it.

[@PlasticSwans]

Thank you! The super basic start, I was kind of just figuring out how franchise mode works since I really didn't have a lot of experience in it. Wasn't sure if it was essential to go very basic to make enough money - the blandness was grating on me though! Glad I got to find a middle ground

[@cookie856]

So, some species can go together even if they don't get enrichments from it! Like, the two tortoises or the peacocks + flamingos XD

[@topaz6995]

Best planet zoo speci- i mean series in my very humble opinion! Was looking forward to this new episode all week, and it didn't disapoint in the slightest!So creative and inspiring to see you trying to fit every lil critter in! Keep up the good work!

[@ra-wb5qt]

loving this series so far! when i 1st found you i was shocked to see you only had 8k subscribers, i thought you would have much more! you inspired me to buy planet zoo and its been a bit hard but im getting the hang of it, not quite good at the habitats and custom buildings tho so at the end of the series it would be cool if you made a video explaining how to make good custom builds! :)

[@PlasticSwans]

Glad you found the channel! I haven't done a 'building basics' video in a while, so probably worth me pulling one together! It can take a while to get used to building stuff, I was exactly the same and struggled with understanding how the pieces work. At some point it just clicks and gets a bit easier!

[@LazyLemon2988]

Here’s a suggestion you should put the hippopotamus and the red river hog together because both of them get an inter species

[@PlasticSwans]

That's the plan! I had some comments saying they really shouldn't live together realistically, but this is a franchise zoo and you do what you can to get the interspecies bonus up!

[@ben_tiwwchnt]

You could increase visitors in your zoo now seeing as they’re not crowding as much and you have a lot more space

[@PlasticSwans]

I've been ramping it up to 6k visitors whilst I'm not recording, but the frame rate is starting to struggle running the game and recording the game at 6k+ guests. If it gets truly bad I have another technical option I can try, but saving that as a last resort

[@PeterFerguson-n6c]

This zoo looks so good I would actually want to go there in real life!

[@PlasticSwans]

Thank you! Thinking about it, I'd like to visit myself!

[@rachellynn7749]

I love this! I do hope that you’ll consider putting the zoo on the Steam workshop when it is finished, I would love to check it out on my own computer. It looks amazing! :D

[@lasschesteven]

If you're losing money because you can't have that many guests in, maybe you can run the zoo with more guests off camera? I know recording software itself does add extra strain on performance, so with that off you should be able to get a couple more guests in.

[@PlasticSwans]

That's the plan if the money does become an issue. Right now it's hovering around $20M so not something that's worrying me. I've spent about $1M over the last couple of episodes, so unless it's really dropping the $20M may last until it's complete

[@bobalinx8762]

Did you add an educational board for the cougar habitat?

[@PlasticSwans]

Yep, there's an education board for every animal

[@yllomssimYT]

Youre such a great builder and very inspiring! Great video content also, the perfect amount of everything.. I'd love to see a little tour of your staff facilities :)

[@dinomation]

Poor lemurs, couldn’t love comfortable because some people could control themselves.

[@PlasticSwans]

I think rebalancing would be good for walkthrough enclosures, but not even sure that would be possible. My only take-away from this is possibly to add walkthroughs in the middle of the zoo, far away from any guest spawners so fewer people actually make it to them!

[@desesa7]

Eurasian Lynx ( Lynx lynx )

[@dinomation]

Half way there! Also nice to see some smaller species be kinda in the nooks and crannies of the zoo!

[@PlasticSwans]

I'm squeezing them into the corners out of habit, but looking at all the space, I reckon by the end the map will only be half full anyway!

[@alyssawilliams3797]

I am really loving this series and your work. Looking forward to seeing how the rest turns out :) keep up the amazing work :) x

[@christysank7705]

This is so cool and looking great

[@icestripe]

I see you're not short of money, but selling exhibit animals that reproduce quickly can be an awesome money generator

[@PlasticSwans]

Agreed, particularly the butterflies are helping out a lot!

[@PantheraMorag]

Congrats on over half way!

[@AntboyAaron7]

My favourite planet zoo series

[@Pop-fc5xm]

wouldn’t putting bins in the lemur habitat stop people littering?

[@PlasticSwans]

I'm sure they'd use the bins, but there's a new feature introduced a few updates ago where animals will raid bins for food...so I assumed the lemurs would just pick stuff out of them - can't win!

[@karenmcavoy5950]

This is just amazing!! I cant wait for the next one!! X

[@Planetzoonature]

You are an absolutely phenomenal builder, some of the best work I’ve seen! Keep it up!

[@jacobhazen4243]

Half way there already 🤯

[@PlasticSwans]

We're on a mission!

[@s.13.c]

how are you coping with all the consistent offspring being born?!

[@PlasticSwans]

Not gonna lie, it's a bit of a nightmare! I play mostly with the game paused now unless I'm showing a build. Whilst the game is unpaused I have the notification tab permanently open, more so to catch when animals mature as that causes the most problems if it unbalances the social group. I do have the setting on that makes them age 5x slower, but still there's 112 species in the zoo now and they're all constantly reproducing 😂

[@Ratty___Rat]

We made it half way!

[@saurusking9938]

i absolutely love your accent..... also your zoo is pretty cool

[@edenmoon8275]

You are my favourite planet zoo you tuber, your habitats are perfect and useable. I would love you take a look at my badger habitat and tell me what you think, if you search for badger cottage in the workshop it should pop up. I made an English county thatched cottage and garden.

[@PlasticSwans]

Very nice! Left you a thumbs up

[@edenmoon8275]

@@PlasticSwans Thank you! x

[@aradaskarian]

Amazing video

[@PaintingWithRill]

I am thinking about buying Planet Zoo, not sure tho.

[@PlasticSwans]

I can recommend!

[@Ran-K-ing]

As someone who bought the entire game i can agree its quite good

[@popelpoppes2107]

I really really really love your videos
